Virus King - Chapter 267

Chapter 267: Lightning Flash! Crow’s Chance for Profession Transfer! Hell-level Secret Realm!

TL: YYang

White Emperor City.

Chen Bai’s figure returned to White Emperor City, requiring another silver coin and a gold coin to relocate himself. However, such minor expenses were not something Chen Bai would concern himself with.

His spirit strength consumption was not low, requiring some time to recover.

Moreover, over an hour had passed, and it was indeed time to check the reactions of global evolvers and members of Group Chat No. 001!

[Cheating! This is definitely cheating! Dragon Nation people are best at cheating! How could anyone gain so many points in just over an hour!?]

[Exactly! That Bai must have cheated!]

[If you don’t know where these sour dogs come from, stop whining. If you can cheat in the God and Devil Trial Grounds of the Cosmic Will, that’s still a skill!]

[It’s purely strong ability, I really wonder, how did the Lord White Emperor achieve such power?!]

[…]

There weren’t many nutritious topics on the forum; besides debating whether Chen Bai cheated, the most discussed subjects were the differences between zombies in the Biochemical World and those on Blue Star.

And, of course, the treasures that could be exchanged!

Those technological biochemical items were very precious.

Especially the first one, the so-called X-Mutation Potion, which could permanently enhance one’s attributes, provide immunity to low-level zombie viruses, and even had a very low chance of awakening the so-called zombie ability, which was essentially a skill.

In this half-day, not many people had enough contribution points to exchange for it; only those at the forefront had the possibility.

However, there was no news of anyone’s luck exploding and awakening that zombie ability.

Nonetheless, Chen Bai didn’t hold much hope or expectation for that zombie ability.

He wasn’t particularly interested, estimating it to be similar to when he absorbed the explosive fireball skill using the Darklight Virus after devouring that aberrant mutant.

However, just as Chen Bai was looking at the messages in Group Chat No. 001 during his recovery time, he was slightly taken aback.

Almost as soon as Chen Bai’s gaze fell, a message appeared from a member!

[Heir to the Five-Strike Lightning Whip: Hahaha, I am the chosen one! Everyone bow down and sing of my conquest!]

Unfortunately, Chen Bai watched for a full three minutes, and no one responded to him.

Clearly, most of the group members had already entered the Biochemical World and hadn’t returned yet.

[Heir to the Five-Strike Lightning Whip: Where is everyone?]

Chen Bai silently sent a message:

[Bai: ?]

[Heir to the Five-Strike Lightning Whip: Boohoo, Lord Bai is too strong, bowing online, the forum and evolvers from other countries are in an uproar, hahaha!]

[Heir to the Five-Strike Lightning Whip: Lord Bai, I awakened a skill!]

Chen Bai raised an eyebrow.

Well, just after saying the probability was extremely low and no one had gotten it yet, this guy managed to obtain it?!

He didn’t keep them in suspense and directly posted a screenshot in the group!

[Lightning Flash (S): Transform into a ball of lightning, Agility +300%! All nearby enemies will suffer lightning damage, with a certain paralyzing effect! Duration: 5 seconds! Cooldown: 6 hours!]

“What the hell?!”

Even Chen Bai couldn’t help but curse.

This skill was too overpowered!

Agility +300%?

Such an increase was even more exaggerated than Chen Bai’s Demon Transformation. Of course, Demon Transformation had unlimited duration as long as there was spirit strength, but this ‘Lightning Flash,’ no matter how powerful, lasted only a brief 5 seconds.

And with a cooldown of 6 hours, it was clearly a skill to be used as a trump card or finishing move.

[Heir to the Five-Strike Lightning Whip: Hahaha! This skill combined with my ‘Child of Lightning’ talent is like adding wings to a tiger! Lord Bai, how did it work for you?!]

Chen Bai pursed his lips, then actually exchanged for one of those potions, and:

[You have consumed the X-Mutation Potion, all your attributes +15.]

“???”

That was it.

Chen Bai pursed his lips again, then burped. He had to admit, the cola flavor was quite nostalgic.

But that was all there was to it.

He glanced at Ma Er, who was laughing wildly in the group, and suddenly felt an urge to beat him up.

However, Chen Bai didn’t mind much. It was something unexpected, and for him, it didn’t hold much significance whether he gained it or not. If he gained it, it was fortunate; if not, it was fate.

But just then, a special popup notification appeared in the corner of Chen Bai’s vision!

[Crow: Lord Bai, want to beat this guy up?!]

Chen Bai was taken aback. Was this kid planning to form a little group? Although the guy was annoying, it wasn’t worth getting into serious trouble over!

But soon, Chen Bai understood that Crow had something to discuss with him.

Sure enough, before Chen Bai could react, the next moment, Crow sent a message:

[Crow: Lord Bai, I noticed your level shot up to 20. Is there an opportunity and benefit in the world secret realm?!]

[Bai: It’s alright. For most evolvers, it naturally offers significant benefits, but for me, it’s just so-so.]

Moreover, after reaching Level 20, the total experience required to break through reached an extremely daunting level, making advancement not easy.

[Crow: Lord Bai, could you do me a favor?]

[Bai: Speak! Are you asking me to find you a profession scroll?]

Chen Bai already had a rough understanding of Crow’s character. He was definitely not the type to ask for favors lightly.

Clearly, Chen Bai was overthinking it.

[Crow: No need for that. I actually already have a lead and found a suitable one, but the task difficulty is a bit high! In a few days, I need to enter a secret realm dungeon, and I’m not very confident, so I was hoping to see if you and Old Dream have time!]

Chen Bai was taken aback. A dungeon that Crow wasn’t confident about?! If there’s anyone in Group Chat No. 001 who’s the strongest without profession bonuses, it’s definitely Crow.

And he wasn’t confident?

[Bai: What secret realm?]

[Crow: A Hell-level secret realm for levels 10-20: ‘Black Building’!]

Chen Bai raised an eyebrow.

Finally, a secret realm dungeon he was familiar with from his past life! Was Crow’s profession related to this dungeon?
