In a room in the neighborhood, Xia Chen hurriedly closed the door and sighed. After checking that there was no danger in the room, he finally relaxed.
The battle just now was really dangerous. If he was not careful, he might have died there. The Level Two Mutant Green Wolf was too strong. Fortunately, he successfully killed it in the end.
"I didn't expect that there would be an additional reward for killing a Level 2 mutated creature?”
Xia Chen took a shower in the bathroom and sat on the sofa. He still smelled like blood.
However, he did not care. Instead, he checked the system reward he had received after killing the green wolf. A bottle of 10 Body Tempering Pills and 1000 Emperor Merit Points.
"Body Tempering Pill, very good. My strength can advance another step.”
Xia Chen took out a bottle of Body Quenching Pills, his face full of excitement and anticipation. Without hesitation, he opened the bottle and poured out the Body Quenching Pills, eating them one by one.
Very quickly, he finished all ten Body Refinement Pills. They turned into a majestic energy that swept through his entire body, continuously transforming the strength of his body and refining it into a perfect body.
Time passed bit by bit. Xia Chen gritted his teeth and endured the immense pain as if his body was being torn apart. He kept letting out low roars.
Tempering the body was really painful. The intense pain was not something that ordinary people could withstand, but Xia Chen gritted his teeth and persevered.
He knew very well that if he wanted to obtain great power, he would not be able to get anything in return without putting in some effort. What was a little pain compared to great power?
He sat cross-legged, and a disgusting mucus began to gush out of his body. The poison in his body began to be expelled.
Xia Chen couldn't help but faint as he looked at the stinking poison that kept gushing out of his body. Was there so much poison in his body?
Traces of black impurities and toxins mixed with scarlet blood seeped out of the pores and were expelled by the powerful energy, cleansing their hair and marrow.
Finally, when Xia Chen felt that the energy in his body was exhausted, he was in an extremely powerful state.
After an unknown period of time, Xia Chen opened his eyes. Two faint rays of light flashed and disappeared. His eyes were burning, and they were particularly eye-catching in the dark room.
"I've finally broken through to the second stratum of Body Tempering, and my strength has reached 2000 Jin.”
Xia Chen muttered to himself and exhaled softly. It turned out that after killing the Level 2 mutated green wolf, he had directly taken the 10 Body Tempering Pills that he had received as a reward and his cultivation had broken through to the second tier of Body Tempering.
A terrifying force of 2000 pounds was condensed in his body. He could easily lift an object weighing 2000 pounds with one hand. This feeling was simply monstrous.
After breaking through his cultivation, Xia Chen went to the bathroom to wash up. His muscles became stronger and stronger, and his body was as perfect as a heavenly axe.
After taking a shower, Xia Chen felt refreshed. He sat on the sofa. The darkness could not block his vision. It was as if his physical fitness and vision had improved.
"Tsk tsk, this mutated beast is really powerful. If it wasn't for my tricks, I might not have been able to kill it. However, if I encounter it again, I might be able to finish it off in a few moves.”
Xia Chen looked at the huge beast in the hall. It was the corpse of a Level Two Mutant Green Wolf. It was two meters tall and three meters long. Its fur was hard.
He quickly stepped forward and used the novice sword to cut off the green wolf's head. He dug out a crystal the size of a fist.
This crystal was a mutant nucleus!
"Level 2 Mutant Nucleus: It contains pure energy and can be used to temper the body and improve one's constitution. However, there is a high risk involved. It can be exchanged for 200 Emperor Merit Points.”
Seeing this message, Xia Chen couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder. He was very curious about how the end of the world came about.
Zombies had nuclei in their heads, and so did mutated beasts. It felt like the nuclei of demon cores. It was very strange.
Ding!
"Congratulations, host. As you have reached 1000 Emperor Merit Points, you have met the requirements to open the System Store. The System Store has been opened.”
"Activation complete. Host, please check it yourself!”
The System stopped talking after saying that, which stunned Xia Chen. Then, he was overjoyed. The System Store opened.
He did not expect that the system store would open after reaching 1000 Emperor Merit Points. This was really a pleasant surprise.
"Activate the mall!"
Xia Chen couldn't wait to open the system store. A blurry virtual screen appeared in front of his eyes.
This screen could only be seen by Xia Chen. Even if there were people nearby, they wouldn't be able to see it. It was completely displayed in front of his eyes.
He carefully looked at the so-called system store. It was divided into a few levels, from low to high, the Mortal level area, the Spiritual level area, the Immortal level area, and the Saint level area.
There were a total of four regions, but three of them were gray and could not be opened. In other words, their levels were not high enough. Only the Mortal region could be opened.
Ding!
Opening the Mortal section, a dazzling array of things greeted his eyes, making Xia Chen unable to cope with it and dumbfounded.
"Body Tempering Pill: Tempering the body, improving one's physique and increasing one's strength. One Body Tempering Pill can increase one's strength by 100 pounds. 100 Emperor Merit Points for one."
"Bone-Forging Pill: Forges bones and tendons, increases bone strength. One Bone-Forging Pill can increase strength by 1000 Jin. 1000 Emperor Merit Points."
"Blood Transfusion Pill: Blood transmuting effect. It can temper the blood in the body and increase the strength and concentration of the blood. One pill can increase strength by 2000 pounds. The exchange price is 2000 Emperor Merit Points.”
Looking at all kinds of pills and weapons, Xia Chen was shocked and couldn't help but feel excited.
He even saw cultivation techniques, combat skills, and various other rare items. It simply made his eyes widen in disbelief.
"Gulp…" However, Xia Chen could not help but smile bitterly. The exchange price of cultivation techniques and combat skills was really expensive. The lowest level cultivation technique cost 10000 Emperor Merit Points.
"Why don't you rob a black market?”Xia Chen cursed the system in his heart.
This thing was too expensive. Now, even if he wanted to exchange for mental cultivation techniques and combat skills, he could not do it. He could only sigh and look depressed.
Looking at it, Xia Chen realized that he could only exchange 1000 Emperor Merit Points for 10 Body Tempering Pills.
This was simply not worth it, not worth it at all. However, right now, strength was the most important thing. Keeping 1000 Emperor Merit Points was not of much use at all.
The most important thing was strength. Only with strength could one complete the mission. Otherwise, the outcome of failing to complete the mission would be the system disappearing.
"Do you want to exchange for a Body Tempering Pill?”Xia Chen was conflicted and suddenly remembered something.
He took out a fist-sized crystal, which was a mutated crystal, and asked,""System, can this thing be absorbed? How can it absorb the energy inside?”
"Host, after consuming 200 Emperor Merit Points, you can perfectly absorb the energy inside to temper your body.”The system's answer made Xia Chen's eyes light up.
Then, he counted the level-one zombie nuclei he had obtained earlier. There were a total of 185 of them. It was a great harvest.
He could still absorb it after asking the system, but it consumed a lot of Emperor Merit Points and was not worth it. He might as well exchange for Emperor Merit Points. Xia Chen had an idea to exchange for Emperor Merit Points and then buy the Body Tempering Pill, but he kept it for the time being.
"System, immediately help me absorb the energy from the mutated crystal and start tempering my body.”
Xia Chen gritted his teeth and sat down cross-legged. He instructed the System to start absorbing and converting energy to temper his body and increase his strength.
"Consumed 200 Emperor Merit Points, starting to convert the energy of the crystal core..."
With a loud bang, Xia Chen felt a majestic energy surge out of the mutated crystal and instantly rushed into his body, causing a huge impact.
Time passed bit by bit. Xia Chen gritted his teeth and endured the intense pain. He gradually felt his body become stronger and stronger.
After a full hour, Xia Chen completed the body tempering. The entire body felt unprecedentedly strong.
Ding!
"Congratulations, host. Your cultivation level has increased…"
