Chapter 234: [Intelligence Card - Secret Aura], The Stag's Hideout Invaded
Yu Yuan left the second floor and headed downstairs.
His mind still echoed with the doctor's reminder to him.
"King, there's one point to note. Just now when you mentioned the injection of the Spiritual Enhancement Potion, there was a note that it would cause immense pain and consciousness must remain clear. I think this is likely a major reason for the virus mutation."
"Perhaps the original purpose of this virus was simply to evolve an individual's genes. It's just that after infection, organisms cannot maintain clear consciousness during the evolutionary transformation, causing the virus evolution to become disordered, which then leads to loss of control. So when you inject it, you must be fully prepared."
"You absolutely must not rush the enhancement."
Yu Yuan took the doctor's words very seriously.
"With the Ultra-Stinky Perfume, maintaining clear consciousness shouldn't be a problem. This has already been confirmed through Shiva. But the doctor is right, I must be fully prepared."
Returning to the third floor, Yu Yuan walked to the Magazine Display Stand and saw a bronze card appearing on it.
"A Bronze-tier card!" Yu Yuan was somewhat pleasantly surprised.
[Intelligence Card - Secret Aura]Quality: Bronze-tier
Function: Using this card will greatly increase affinity with spirituality for a period of time. Success rate for actions related to spirituality is significantly increased.
Looking at the card in his hand, Yu Yuan felt it was quite compatible with the ability of the ["Pious" Believer] title and the [Mystic] talent.
If used well, it might become a key trump card at a critical moment.
He solemnly stored this card away. Now there were already two intelligence cards in the Book of Fate.
Besides the newly acquired Bronze-tier [Secret Aura], there was also the previously obtained Pebble-tier [Tactics] card.
With these two intelligence cards as his foundation, Yu Yuan felt slightly more at ease.
Taking today's copy of the Greenwood City Daily to the dining table, Fang had also heated up the food and brought it before Yu Yuan.
While eating, Yu Yuan checked the newspaper.
But right at that moment, a sudden sound rang in his ear.
[Ding... Player ID: Stag Shelter has activated a 'War Token'. An invasion war will be launched against you in one hour. Please prepare for battle.]
[During the player war period, social and trade functions are temporarily closed. Functions will be restored after the war ends.]
Yu Yuan's action of drinking soup paused slightly.
"Has the seven-day period of the Ceasefire Token already passed?"
His gaze fell on the newspaper in his hand. Indeed, today was already day 39 of the Wasteland Calendar.
The seven days had passed.
"Time really flies. However, Stag Shelter..." Yu Yuan slightly furrowed his brows. He was not unfamiliar with this name.
Over the past month or so, this player had launched invasion wars quite frequently, arguably a standout among the Driven Faction players.
Only...
Yu Yuan opened the Shelter Leaderboard, looking at Stag Shelter's ranking at 4999th place, also showing a bit of surprise.
He remembered that a few days ago, Stag Shelter's ranking had risen from over six thousand to over five thousand, causing a wave of praise in the Chat Channel.
Some players even compared Stag Shelter with Yu Yuan Shelter.
And now, just a few days later, this player's ranking had actually entered the top five thousand. Not simple!
Impressive!
However, being targeted by this player also gave Yu Yuan some pressure.
He was no longer that greenhorn from before.
He had long understood that the higher the ranking, the greater the gap.
Especially for players who had entered the top five thousand, their strength was far beyond what previous players like Blood Wolf, Roar, or Star Duke could compare to.
"One more hour!"
In one hour, the player from Stag Shelter would enter the Riot District. Adding the time to find the shelter's location and travel, the earliest they would appear would be in about an hour and a half.
The time was still relatively ample.
Yu Yuan closed the Virtual Light Screen and quickly scanned today's news in the newspaper.
The first piece of news was still the header with date, weather, and temperature information. Today: cloudy turning to light to moderate rain.
The second piece of news was actually about Hogg. Hogg disassembled the half of the mechanical Reforger wreckage and concluded that the mechanical technology on this wreckage far exceeded their currently mastered technology and was terrifyingly powerful.
Moreover, this mechanical technology had extremely high compatibility and adaptability. If they could master this technology and modify themselves with it, they would directly gain superhuman combat power.
And Hogg was clearly tempted.
The third piece of news was about the Iron Anchor Shipping Company.
Since their previous defeat at Johnck Zoo, the Iron Anchor Shipping Company had been successively attacked by sea monsters and had been quite disheveled during this period.
But just yesterday, the Iron Anchor Shipping Company actually set a trap and caught the giant fish that had been attacking their ships. However, although the capture was successful, the giant fish was severely injured. Currently, the Iron Anchor Shipping Company was making every effort to treat it.
Clearly, after witnessing the scene of the Aurora Animal Assistance Association controlling mutated creatures to fight, they had conceived the same idea.
If they could truly succeed, needless to say, the Iron Anchor Shipping Company's position in the ocean would soar.
Yu Yuan raised the threat level of the Iron Anchor Shipping Company by one level, quietly awaiting subsequent developments.
His gaze swept over the final piece of news, and Yu Yuan's movements paused slightly.
[Neighborhood Life News]
Quality: Bronze
Danger Level: Medium
Last night at midnight, a large hole was dug by an unknown creature in a sewer channel in District 13 of our city. Based on on-site hair and residue, as well as wall scratch and bite mark comparisons.
It is speculated that this should be a giant rodent, most likely a rat.
It is suspected to be highly similar to the creature that has been continuously attacking citizens recently.
Citizens in District 13 today, if there is no need to go out, please be sure to stay at home to prevent being attacked.
————————————
"Giant Mutant Rat... finally couldn't hold back anymore?"
Yu Yuan immediately took out the Combat Detector from the Rabbit Ring and put it on his head.
But he didn't see any abnormalities.
Yu Yuan did not let his guard down. Whether it was the two previous confrontations or all the information about the Giant Mutant Rat he heard from Mona yesterday, they all made Yu Yuan deeply understand.
This Giant Mutant Rat was not comparable to any spiritual creature from before.
Yu Yuan put down the newspaper, drank the last sip of High-Energy Sheep Milk from his cup, and let out a long breath.
Today was really troublesome. An invasion war and the Giant Mutant Rat actually appearing simultaneously. They really know how to pick their timing.
Just as Yu Yuan stood up, he froze for a moment, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.
"Appearing simultaneously... could there be a possibility..."
Yu Yuan's mind raced.
He felt a bit of an impulsive urge inside, but after thinking carefully, he still suppressed the impulse and closed the Virtual Light Screen.
"Forget it, let's see Stag's situation first!"
Fang noticed Yu Yuan's unusual expression and stepped forward to ask:
"King, has something happened?"
"Fang, prepare..." Yu Yuan paused, checked the time, and then continued, "In 53 minutes, someone will attack us. When the time comes, go to the Surveillance Network Control Console on the first floor and keep an eye on things."
What!
Fang was shocked in her heart!
The next moment, she already wore a solemn, murderous expression.
"Yes! I understand!"
