Chapter 28 Demonization
Chapter 28 Demonization
After leaving the tutoring center, Chu Wuji did not return to the convenience store, but went directly to the hospital to retrieve his blood sample.
On the way, Chu Wuji opened the information Lin Zhou had sent him and read it as he walked.
After browsing through it briefly, Chu Wuji gained a slight understanding of what kind of existence the Machine Soul Knight was.
The Machine Knight is a high-end nanotechnology originating from the capital. It has its own unique algorithm, and the intelligent nanotechnology contained within it can be combined into different materials and equipment through the algorithm to form a unique Machine Knight.
What makes these intelligent nanotech special is their extremely high potential. Once a more advanced algorithm is found, they can automatically assemble into more advanced materials and reactors, thereby enhancing the energy level of the Machine Knights.
This also means that perhaps just one line of code could instantly give an ordinary person power comparable to a tenth-level being.
The only requirement is that the user must be able to adapt to the intelligent nanotechnology; otherwise, their genes will be damaged and their body will break down during the constant transformations, eventually leading to atomization and death, or they will mutate during the forced adaptation process and become an irrational alien knight.
The inventor of this intelligent nanotechnology was not mentioned at all. Even the Skadi transformation device was something Lin Zhou and his wife accidentally found during an exploration of the abyss outside the city. Under Lin Zhou's self-developed code, it transformed into Skadi, who now has the strength of a first-tier being.
Yes, currently Skadi's transformation code is developed by Lin Zhou himself, so he is not very clear about whether Skadi can be upgraded through the upgrade code.
It's possible that Skadi will remain at level one forever.
The information provided on the Machine Soul Knight is not extensive; instead, it focuses more on explaining how to use Skadi.
Skadi has a combat system called the "Freeze System," which is centered around a spear that can spray low-temperature gas.
It sounds somewhat like the previous Maz, who also used a spear, except one was high-temperature and the other was low-temperature.
After inquiring about Chu Wuji's habits, Lin Zhou slightly adjusted the code, replacing the spear with a longsword, which could also release low temperatures.
However, because Chu Wuji is not a suitable candidate, he cannot use any abilities other than the longsword, such as the ability to manipulate low temperatures to condense ice wolves to chase enemies. In fact, the low temperature released by the longsword is indiscriminate and will corrode Chu Wuji himself during use.
Fortunately, all of these can be ignored after Chu Wuji becomes a ghost.
The clinic left behind by Grandma Zhang was called a clinic, but it was actually just a small warehouse.
Scan your face to open the door, and you'll see ten green transparent plastic boxes, each printed with the "Noah Bio" logo and a red and white heart of life symbol representing medical supplies.
I stepped forward and opened a box. Inside was a row of neatly arranged 350ml IV bags, with dark red blood quietly contained within.
Chu Wuji looked around. The cold storage was decorated in an extremely simple manner, and he did not find any strange equipment. Moreover, the location was quite remote.
"Let's do it here."
Chu Wuji immediately took out a bottle of red liquid from his pocket; this was all the blood he had extracted from Wuzan's flesh and blood.
Open the bottle and drink it all in one gulp.
Upon tasting, a strong rusty taste filled Chu Wuji's mouth, while the blood, preserved at a constant temperature in a thermos, flowed down his esophagus with an icy chill.
In an instant, the blood seemed to be activated, the coldness instantly turning into heat, like a ball of fire exploding from Chu Wuji's stomach.
Chu Wuji could clearly feel a foreign, foreign sensation emanating from his stomach, frantically eroding his flesh and blood.
The true qi and original flesh and blood within his body surged wildly, trying to expel this foreign substance, but Chu Wuji forcibly suppressed it.
Gradually, the feeling of erosion crept up to my heart, and a sharp pain spread throughout my body along with the pumping of my heart.
The demonization has officially begun.
Without hesitation, Chu Wuji took out the anti-corrosive agent he had previously developed and injected it into himself.
The demon blood that had been stirring and trying to split its nerves instantly calmed down.
The player gains a special status called [Demonization]. After the status ends, the player is expected to gain 2 points of [Spirit], 3 points of [Qi], and 1 point of [Spirit].
[Players gain a special status called [Fear of Light] due to [Demonization], which will cause them to be burned upon contact with sunlight, losing 5% of their health per second until they die.]
[Players gain a special status [Only Blood Can Be Eaten] due to [Demonization], which greatly diminishes the flavor of other foods, allowing only human flesh and blood to provide nutrients.]
Chu Wuji looked up and saw two new status icons on his panel. The [Ghost Transformation] status showed a duration of 240 hours, while [Fear of Light] and [Only Blood Can Be Eaten] showed a string of 999.
The former is easier to understand. In the original work, Kokushibo, also known as Upper Moon One, said that the stronger one is when one is human, the longer it takes to transform into a demon. It took him 3 days to transform into Kokushibo.
It's normal for Chu Wuji to need ten days now.
But... why is there still photophobia?
Logically speaking, the talent to become a ghost is also a type of physical talent, which falls under the jurisdiction of the spirit attribute.
According to the original work, Tanjiro's physical talent is indeed excellent, but it is definitely not comparable to Chu Wuji's 2 points of spirit attribute.
But he adapted to the sunlight in an instant.
While Kokushikatsu Tsugikuni, who is definitely stronger than Tanjiro, only overcame the weakness of dying from beheading after becoming a demon.
Why?
After a moment's thought, Chu Wuji roughly understood.
Just as leveling up improves strength in all aspects, the physical body, as summarized by the [Spirit] attribute, is also all-encompassing.
But the reality is different. Take Tanjiro for example. His talent for "physical growth" might only be around 1.5 in terms of attributes, but his talent for "becoming a demon" might far surpass others, like a flawed barrel.
If that's the case, then the rest is quite clear.
Chu Wuji opened the panel and looked down to the bottom.
[Free points: 2]
"System, give me some points! Let me see your limits!"
[Refined]: 2→3
With just this small improvement, Chu Wuji instantly realized that his physical attributes had almost doubled!
However, the photophobia on the panel has not disappeared.
"Again!"
[Refined]: 3→4
Having exhausted all the free points he had accumulated over nearly twenty years, Chu Wuji's physical attributes doubled once again.
And the disappearance of the [photophobia] state!
Due to the player's exceptional talent, the weakness of [Fear of Light] disappeared, and [Only Blood Can Eat] evolved into [Blood Eater]
[Blood Food: Consuming fresh blood can provide a large amount of energy, and consuming special blood slightly increases overall strength]
[Gained new skill [Blood Demon Art - ? ?]]
Did he acquire Blood Demon Arts without fully transforming into a demon?
Before Chu Wuji could open the panel and examine it carefully, an overwhelming feeling of hunger surged into his mind.
He quickly opened a bag of blood and poured it into his mouth.
