Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 184 Exchange
Xiangzi finally followed Xu Feng's advice.

Most of the side plots are all about telekinesis.

Seeing Xu Feng being so cautious, Ren Bang couldn't help but frowned: "If Sadako in "The Ring" is really as strong as the captain said, it would be unsuitable to lead the Lord God's creation into the reincarnation world in the next game!"

When dealing with physical monsters with shape and substance, allowing humans to enter the reincarnation world can enhance the team's firepower and make the team stronger.

But faced with a strange existence like Sadako, the androids without extraordinary abilities can probably only test how to hurt Sadako... After the test, Sadako who "eats" the android's soul may become even stronger.

"Well, it's indeed a bit inappropriate."

Xu Feng nodded and said, "In the next horror film, it's best to adopt a defensive strategy before we get any key intelligence. If Sadako attacks us, we'll fight her. If she doesn't attack us in the short term, we can use the characters in the plot to test her abilities."

"In order to survive Sadako's supernatural attacks, each of us must prepare a certain amount of protective gear. The more people that enter, the more gear we need to prepare."

Preparing protective gear for the dummy is equivalent to having fewer protective gear on yourself.

If Xu Feng's side story is rich, he plans to redeem Tifa.

Renbang rubbed his forehead. "Alas, I got so many reward points this time. I was planning to create two more androids. What a pity! Now, my next training will have to go back to the world of Great Sword I experienced before."

He suddenly laughed: "Hehe...actually the girls in that world are not bad."

The corners of Xu Feng's mouth twitched slightly. He knew what this monk was planning to do.

"The next battle is so dangerous, monk, are you still planning to redeem the 'Supreme Yoga Tantra'? C-level internal energy is equivalent to 20 to 30 times that of D-level internal energy. When you urgently need to improve your combat power, redeeming the secret manual for cultivation is actually far less effective than directly strengthening your intermediate Qigong."

After thinking about it, Xu Feng decided to be a little more open and honest.

This monk is good in all aspects and can be considered a qualified teammate.

Moreover, as soon as the East China Sea team returned to the main god space, he gathered all the members of the team to discuss strengthening, in order to unite the team before the team battle.

The "Ring" before the team battle is an opportunity to test the team's cohesion.

In this case, it is necessary to tell teammates some information.

Xu Feng took out a hard drive and said, "I exchanged a secret manual for it in the last match. It's the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra. You can practice this for now."

"The captain really did exchange for a secret manual. I guessed it when he entered the Great Sword world and saved the first great sword we encountered, but I didn't expect it to be the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra."

Renbang smiled and said, "The Dragon Elephant Prajnaparamita Kung Fu is indeed quite good. Getting started should be very simple, but practicing it must be extremely time-consuming. The initial stages of internal Kung Fu practice focus on refining essence into Qi. The captain's success in practicing it must be largely due to the enhancement of the Swallowing Fruit."

Xu Feng nodded.

The digestive ability improved by the Swallow Swallow Fruit did indeed greatly speed up his cultivation.

In fact, he felt that the ability to swallow the fruit would be of great help in the practice of most energy systems.

"So... I still think that the faster-paced practice of the Anuttarayoga Tantra is more suitable for ordinary people like me!" The monk said with a smile, "I also think that after practicing this secret book, I might be able to gain a little more life in the next battle."

"After all, the side story I got in the last game is really limited. Even if I use it in other aspects, it may not necessarily improve my strength much. Instead, I might as well take a gamble."

Monk Renbang got a C and a D side story in the previous game, which rewarded more points, just over 5,000.

Among the senior members, he received the least reward.

"In that case, I won't try to persuade you. When I was choosing a secret manual, I also considered the 'Supreme Yoga Tantra,' but based on the description, it was quite difficult to practice. So, I settled for the easier-to-understand 'Dragon Elephant Prajnaparamita Kung Fu.'" Xu Feng said, "If you hit a bottleneck with the 'Supreme Yoga Tantra,' try practicing the 'Dragon Elephant Prajnaparamita Kung Fu.'"

The monk smiled and showed that he understood.

Xu Feng looked at the Korean fat boy Park Changhao again. His potential... is quite high and worth cultivating, provided that his loyalty is not a problem.

"Park Changhao, is there any ability you want to strengthen?"

The fat boy looked at the people around him, lowered his head and asked, "No matter what I do... I don't get many side stories, only two C-level side stories. The abilities gained from those side stories are probably not as useful as the mecha built by the captain for us."

Xu Feng smiled and said, "When you killed that high-level awakener, you activated the first stage of the gene lock. That power is very strong, but the side effects are also severe. Without any bloodline, you stayed in the life support system for several days. I suggest that you master the power of the gene lock before entering the next horror movie."

"And to reduce the backlash from unlocking the gene lock, it's best to strengthen a bloodline with stronger recovery abilities."

"I have three options here."

"First, you can directly strengthen bloodlines with strong recovery abilities from the Lord God, such as vampires and werewolves. Use the recovery abilities of those bloodlines to force yourself into a desperate situation and repeatedly try to open the gene lock until you can open it on your own."

"Secondly, we can both strengthen our internal strength. This way, we can share the secret manuals we exchange for, and get two rewards for one price... However, if you choose this, you'd better share the cost of exchanging the secret manuals with the monk later."

Renbang interrupted and said, "After all, I was the one who chose the secret book. If Mr. Park is willing to choose the path of inner strength, you can pay one-third of the cost of exchanging the secret book. I will be responsible for the main side storylines and reward points."

He somewhat expected Park Chang-ho to take this path.

Even if he only spends one less D-level side story, it will be a huge benefit to him and can effectively increase his chances of survival in the next game.

Xu Feng glanced at him and said, "The third option is for me to transform him into a greatsword warrior. The Lord God also has this kind of enhancement, which requires a B-level side story. Of course, the greatsword enhanced by the Lord God does not have the side effect of becoming an awakened one."

"Each of the three options has its pros and cons. Bloodline Enhancement offers stable strength and is very safe. Internal Force Enhancement starts with lower combat effectiveness, but costs less. As for the Great Sword, it costs less than Internal Force Enhancement and is more powerful, but it does come with risks."

The little fat man lowered his head and thought for a moment.

Finally, he raised his head and said, "I choose to be a great sword!"

Xu Feng smiled slightly: "Is that so? If you choose this, the direction of my reinforcement will have to change slightly."

"The side story I got has two A-ranks and two B-ranks. According to my original plan, I intend to upgrade the Swallow-Swallow Fruit and the Eight-foot Mirror to A-rank respectively. The Eight-foot Mirror, in particular, is quite powerful against supernatural creatures."

"However, in order to increase the success rate of the transformation surgery, I'd better upgrade the Swallow Swallow Fruit to the highest level."

He looked at his teammates. "But according to this plan, I'm short of a B-rank side story. Park Changhao, Shoko, and Mei, you all have extra C-rank side stories. If you still trust me, I'd like to borrow one C-rank side story from each of you to strengthen the Swallow-Swallow Fruit."

Xiangzi glanced at Xu Feng and couldn't help grinding his teeth.

So bad!
He had clearly gotten the most side plots, but he was still planning to squeeze out more side plots from his poor teammates.

But... she likes it! Shoko said, "Of course you can... but after you upgrade the Swallow Swallow Fruit, you have to make us some very powerful equipment to compensate us!"

Mei Sakurai also nodded.

Anyway, she had originally planned to give the extra side plot to Shoko, and those two actors were in the same group, so it didn't matter who she gave it to.

As for Park Chang-ho, he naturally agreed to "borrow" the side storyline.

After all, the captain changed the direction of strengthening "for him".

"Captain, can I become a greatsword in the future? I want to be as strong as Sister Alicia!"

As they were leaving the meeting room, the little girl Suzuki Ayane suddenly asked.

Xu Feng smiled and patted her head. "Of course, but it's not suitable for this match. After transforming into a greatsword, it takes a certain amount of training to master the demonic energy within your body and become a stable fighting force in the team. In the next match, if you can't master the demonic energy, it's very likely that you will awaken directly under Sadako's influence. Your current reward points are too few, and you can't exchange them for a long enough return time to master that kind of power."

He suggested, "Xiao Caiyin, first exchange some protective talismans and magic scrolls this time, then browse more bloodlines and abilities from the Lord God. If you still don't find an ability you like from the Lord God after a while, I will help you perform the surgery."

After the discussion, the members of the East China Sea team returned to the square again.

Then, the group contacted the Lord God without any prior arrangement, and began to exchange items and strengthen themselves from the Lord God.

In-bang, Park Chang-ho and Suzuki Ayane quickly exchanged the items they needed.

Following Xu Feng's advice, the three of them each spent a few hundred points to exchange for a batch of disposable malicious protection amulets, holy water, holy light scrolls, thunder scrolls and other props.

Afterwards, except for the new little girl Suzuki Ayane who learned to make rooms under Tifa's guidance and returned to her room to rest, the other two were waiting quietly in the main square, waiting for the three people floating in the sky to finish strengthening.

The first one to finish strengthening was Shoko.

She wants to strengthen her telekinesis at three stages, but she plans to do it in three times. She is ready to carefully experience the improvements in each level of telekinesis.

Her intuition told her that experiencing this change would be helpful for her to practice telekinesis independently in the future.

Then there is Mei Sakurai.

She needs to strengthen her C-level spiritual power and C-level basic purification technique.

It took a little longer than Xiangzi's.

Of course, the time they spent on strengthening was not even a fraction of the time Xu Feng spent on strengthening the Swallow-Swallow Fruit to double A level in one go.

During the strengthening process, the main god released a large number of colorful light spots. When those light spots entered his body, Xu Feng felt extremely hungry and wanted to eat everything in front of him.

The whole person seems to be eating non-stop, but the more he eats, the hungrier he becomes.

"At advanced levels, the core of the Devil Fruit's enhancement isn't the body, but the spirit! As expected, double-A-rank Devil Fruits are related to awakening!"

Xu Feng opened the genetic lock and felt the desire to devour everything.

"The more my spirit aligns with that desire, the stronger the Devil Fruit I can unleash will be, but..."

"Then you'll become a slave to the Devil Fruit!"

More than an hour later.

Xu Feng fell from mid-air.

He opened his palm, and an invisible force field appeared in his hand.

Then, a piece of steel appeared in his hand, constantly changing its shape in that space, like dough being kneaded.

After a simple test, Xu Feng closed his eyes again and activated the invisible force field with all his strength.

The granite ground in the main god square kept rolling and twisting, and finally formed a huge stone ball with a radius of about 30 meters.

"The Devouring Factory within the body has a space of approximately 30,000 cubic meters. As for the range of influence of this Devouring Field, is it a spherical area with a radius of 30 meters? Even a Double-A-rank ability has limited strength before it is developed."

Xu Feng chuckled and shook his head.

He was quite satisfied with the strength of this enhancement...

He was not sure how strong Sadako was, but as long as Sadako did not quickly destroy the continental-level power, based on the current strength of the Swallow-Swallow Fruit, he was confident that he could develop several strategies to survive.

"Captain, is this the strength of a double-A-rank Swallow-Swallow Fruit?"

The other members of the East China Sea team looked at the huge stone ball and couldn't help asking.

A radius of thirty meters doesn't sound big, but from a close distance it looks like a small hill.

If a stone ball of this size were to start rolling, it would be extremely difficult for modern human civilization to stop it without using nuclear weapons.

Besides, they don’t think that Xu Feng can only make stone balls.

Xu Feng smiled and nodded: "Well, with the strength of this devil fruit, I am very confident about the upcoming Great Sword transformation operation. Let's take a day off today, and then return to the world of "Great Sword"."

"Hehe... This time's experience of "Midnight Ring" is a bit inappropriate. If you are interested, you can create some humanoids from the Lord God in the future, and then I will help you transform them into greatsword warriors. In this way, our team's strength will far exceed the evaluation of the Lord God! If we really have a team battle, we will definitely bring surprises to other teams!"

"Haha, I wonder how many side stories we can get during the team battle." Renbang agreed with a smile.

He handed a hard drive to Xu Feng and introduced it, "This is the original copy of the Supreme Yoga Tantra that I redeemed. I've copied several copies. Alas, I have the Dragon Slaying Technique, but I have to wait until tomorrow when I return to the Great Sword world to use it."

"Captain, today we can verify whether this secret book is difficult or not."

Xu Feng took the hard drive decisively.

He said seriously, "Thank you, Master Renbang! Next, I will definitely help everyone test how dangerous this secret book is and whether it is suitable for cultivation..."
