System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

Zhang Hao, Consultant Zhang, Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, Yi Sa, Ding Yudie, and A Ning sat at one table, while the boatmen found a place on the boat to sit or squat and eat from their bowls.

During the meal, Yi Sa and Ding Yudie kept eating plain rice without touching any of the dishes.

Wu Tianzhen asked in confusion, "Why aren't you two eating any vegetables?"

"We are allergic to seafood and can't eat these."

The fat man chuckled upon hearing this: "Don't you water demons live underwater? How can you be allergic to seafood?"

Ding Yudie said with a worried look, "It's innate. If we knew why, we would have found a solution long ago, instead of just sitting here eating rice for nothing."

Just like Fatty said, water goblins are supposed to live in the water, so it's strange that they're allergic to seafood. There must be something fishy about that.

Once we figure out the reasons behind it, we might be able to find out what this so-called god really is.

"Brother Zhang Hao, try this, it tastes incredibly delicious."

The fat man placed a large, colorful shrimp, as thick as a baby's arm, into Zhang Hao's bowl.

"what is this?"

The shrimp in the bowl looked similar to mantis shrimp, but were larger and more brightly colored. The most obvious difference was that mantis shrimp had two sickle-shaped forelegs, while the shrimp in the bowl had two hammer-shaped spheres forelegs.

"This is a peacock mantis shrimp, which is very rare to see if it weren't for the fact that it's located on the coast."

"So this is the peacock mantis shrimp."

Zhang Hao had already heard of the famous mantis shrimp.

It is said that these shrimp must be kept in a bulletproof glass tank, otherwise they will shatter it.

Experiments have shown that being attacked by its forelimbs is equivalent to being hit by a .2.2 caliber handgun.

Its punch generates an impact force of 120 kilograms.

The impact force of 120 kilograms may not seem high, but it is not. You should know that the mantis shrimp is only a dozen centimeters long and weighs only a hundred grams.

In human terms, that's equivalent to a human punch delivering 18 tons of force.

The reason why a small shrimp can generate such a strong impact is due to its punching speed.

The mantis shrimp can punch as fast as 1/250 of a second, meaning that theoretically it can throw 250 punches per second.

It's worth noting that the human limit is only 9 punches per second, meaning that the peacock mantis shrimp's punching speed is nearly 30 times that of a human.

Zhang Hao has now merged with the Blood Corpse, increasing his movement speed by 500%.

In other words, even if it exceeds human limits, it is still far inferior to the peacock mantis shrimp.

Zhang Hao picked up the bowl, walked to the blind spot at the bow of the boat, and grabbed the mantis shrimp in his hand.

"System, fuse with the peacock mantis shrimp."

[Ding, command received, fusion initiation.]

As the system notification sounded, the mantis shrimp in his hand instantly transformed into a multicolored liquid, which slowly expanded into a multicolored film that enveloped his entire body.

Then it transforms into countless tiny molecules, which seem to come alive and desperately try to penetrate his body.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, your 15th fusion is complete. Fusion item: Mantis Shrimp.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the fusion item's trait: punching speed increased by 1/250th of a second.]

"I rely on!"

When Zhang Hao heard the system notification, he was so excited he almost jumped up.

This punching speed means that I now have the same punching speed as the mantis shrimp, capable of throwing 250 punches per second.

In addition, the power gained from fusing with ants, which is 400 times his own weight, will make each punch extremely terrifying.

Even the hardest object would probably not last more than a second under such a powerful and rapid attack!

While Zhang Hao was still in the midst of his excitement, the system notification sounded again.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have completed 15 fusions, achieving the achievement. You are rewarded with 1 fusion attempt. The next achievement is to complete 30 fusions.]

The system even has achievement rewards; you can get rewards as long as you reach a certain number of achievements.

Although achieving the achievement for the first time only rewards one fusion opportunity, it's important to know that every fusion opportunity is hard-won and precious.
