Virus King - Chapter 138

Chapter 138: Emergence of the “Biochemical Disaster”! A Future Growth-Type Soul Weapon?

TL: YYang

[Killed an Evolved Virus Elite ‘Aberrant’! Gained Experience: 3000 points!]

[Killed an Evolved Virus Elite ‘Lord’! Gained Experience: 5000 points!]

[Devoured 3 Special Mutant Hybrids, gaining exclusive Darklight Virus evolution points: 35 points!]

[Darklight Virus has reduced the evolution points required for specialized branch enhancements!]

[Devoured a special lifeform, gaining the ‘Aberrant’ skill: Explosive Fireball (C-Rank)!]

The notification sounds for gaining experience flashed, but Chen Bai barely spared them a glance. For him now, this amount of experience wasn’t even enough to accomplish anything meaningful.

Even the enhancements brought by the Darklight Virus’s devouring of special mutations didn’t warrant his attention at the moment.

Right now, there was only one thing that mattered to him.

This time’s biggest harvest lay in the items now sitting in his inventory!

Chen Bai hadn’t expected the materials for the “Biochemical Disaster” to come together so quickly!

Aberrant’s Heart, Lord’s Brain!

One was a pitch-black heart, smoldering like a burning piece of charcoal.

The other was a white, tofu-like walnut nucleus radiating a faint glow.

These two mutant materials now rested in Chen Bai’s palm.

Alongside them were two other materials, placed on the hospital bathroom floor.

Claw of a Tyrant, Flesh Mountain Core, Aberrant’s Heart, Lord’s Brain.

And, of course, the unique blueprint Chen Bai had acquired long ago.

Together with the Zombie Claws, which had accompanied him since the outbreak of the apocalypse.

The Zombie Claws, an equipment crafted from a blueprint, had proven to be extraordinary from the start!

Now, the Zombie Claws had once again reached a new opportunity for evolution!

With all the materials gathered, Chen Bai picked up the blueprint.

Use!

Excitement surged within him. As the moment of radiance was born, his emotions soared sky-high!

The “Biochemical Disaster” blueprint slowly disappeared.

In its place, a brilliant light enveloped everything.

Within this light, all the materials began to merge, melding into one unified creation.

Equipment blueprints were inherently special tools.

They served as one of the Cosmic Will’s unique channels for producing high-value equipment.

Two minutes wasn’t a long time, yet it made Chen Bai’s wait feel excruciating.

Finally, the radiant glow gradually subsided.

All the materials on the ground disappeared.

In their place, something entirely new emerged!

It was still a gauntlet, but its design had transformed. No longer did it feature the bone-plate aesthetic it had before.

Now it was predominantly black. On the back of the gauntlet, a red core object stood out—like a pulsating heart, or perhaps a single eye—its continuous throbbing exuded an eerie and mysterious aura.

As soon as Chen Bai extended his hand toward it, vein-like tendrils shot out from the gauntlet, swiftly wrapping around his hand and fusing seamlessly with him.

In the next moment, the specific attributes of this new item appeared before Chen Bai’s eyes!

[Biochemical Disaster]

[Special Weapon – Gauntlet-Type (C-Rank)]

[All Attributes +35]

[Lord’s Brain: Allows control of three creatures with mental strength lower than your own, duration permanent!]

[Tyrant’s Claw: When activated, increases agility and strength by 30% and attack speed by 50%! Each minute after activation reduces effectiveness by 1%. Cooldown: 3 hours.]

[Flesh Mountain Core: Killing any enemy triggers a life-leeching effect, restoring energy, healing injuries, and replenishing stamina. Additionally, for each enemy killed, all attributes (except spirit) are increased by +1. There is no stacking limit. Duration: 20 minutes.]

[Aberrant’s Heart: Increases resistance to all mental-type skills by 0.5% of current spirit! Can also actively release a mental magnetic field!]

[Biochemical Disaster: After personally killing 100,000 biochemical-type enemy creatures and 100 powerful mutants, the ‘Biochemical Disaster’ evolves into a growth-type soul weapon!]

[Equipment Requirements: Strength, Agility ≥58, equipped with the special title ‘Zombie Slayer’]

(PS: “You and zombies cannot coexist under the same sky. Yes, I mean it!”)

Looking at the special clawed gauntlet in his hand, Chen Bai blinked and remained speechless for a long moment.

A full 35 points to all attributes seemed to be the least remarkable feature??

Of course, for Chen Bai, those 35 attribute points indeed weren’t much to talk about.

But!

A C-Rank piece of equipment with as many as five special-effect skills?

Beyond the variety of abilities, what shocked Chen Bai the most was the special effect that shared the equipment’s name.

Biochemical Disaster!

Killing 100,000 zombies and over 100 mutants!?

This goal was indeed dauntingly distant, but it clearly wasn’t impossible to achieve!

And the allure of what awaited after meeting these requirements was enough to move Chen Bai’s heart.

A growth-type soul weapon.

Soul weapons were an exceptionally rare category of equipment in the God and Devil Trial Grounds.

To put it simply, Chen Bai had something somewhat similar!

The Time Hourglass.

Of course, Chen Bai still didn’t understand what exactly the Time Hourglass was.

But it shared one key trait with soul weapons.

It was soul-bound!

And this rarity was something Chen Bai had never encountered in his past life.

Not even once.

However, the Group Chat No. 001 member Chang Liu did own one.

In his previous life, that guy had flaunted it in front of Chen Bai.

It was a soul weapon called Twin Venomous Fangs.

At that time, it manifested on that guy’s two canine teeth. As he laughed loudly in public, the two eerie green fangs looked as if they’d been dipped in leek juice.

But that guy felt no shame, only pride, and kept insisting Chen Bai was envious of his treasure.

The most incredible ability of soul weapons was that they didn’t occupy an equipment slot, yet still provided their attributes alongside other gear!

In his past life, even the lowest-grade soul weapon was worth no less than 500,000 gold coins!

Because even if it was the most basic equipment, this thing could stack on top of other items.

This was the mind-boggling nature of soul weapons!

And now, this equipment created using two different blueprints had the potential to evolve into a soul weapon after its next upgrade!

Moreover, it was a growth-type soul weapon!?

Even with over seventy years of experience from his past life, at this moment, Chen Bai’s breathing quickened!
