Three balls of white light flew out of the pouch at the same time and entered Mu Chen's body one after another.
The sticky feeling on his body appeared again, and the illusory scales on his skin became more obvious.
Just as Mu Chen was worried that he would turn into a murloc, the illusory scales retreated and the absorption was completed.
" Absorbed 'Ocean Lifeform' special ability. Quality: White 1.”
" Absorbed 'Ocean Life' special ability, Grade White 2.”
" Absorbed 'Ocean Lifeform' special ability. Quality: White 3.”
Its quality had been upgraded!
Mu Chen suddenly understood that this was an ability given to him by the system. He could continuously absorb the same ability and accumulate the characteristics of the ability to achieve an improvement in the quality of the ability.
In this way, even if he didn't have the magical ability to merge his abilities, the few low-quality abilities he had absorbed before had a chance to improve their quality.
In the blink of an eye, he had turned from a useless mutant to a genius with endless potential.
Life with cheats was really irresistible.
At the thought of this, Mu Chen could not wait to further verify the effect of the improvement in the quality of his supernatural ability.
The white 3 " Ocean Life " didn't give him a clear sense of difference. The increase in defense and evasion needed to be felt through actual combat.
Moreover, he also wanted to know how many Sea Life Esper Ability Seeds he needed to absorb to raise the grade to green.
It seemed that he needed to find a murloc to practice with.
In addition to the three Sea Life ability seeds, the mercenary trio also had a relic, which was Blue Whale's Tang sword.
Without a doubt, this was a technological product. The blade was made of tungsten titanium alloy, which took into account both hardness and toughness. It was the first choice of cold weapons for close-combat ability users in hunting teams.
Mu Chen picked it up and looked at the laser engraving on the hilt-Tang Armament Supervisor. Longquan Lane. A Grade, 1402.7.
This was a top-notch Tang sword produced by Longquan Workshop. The market price of one was about 10,000 yuan. It was definitely a good thing.
Although humans had entered the era of firearms more than a hundred years ago, as a citizen of the Tang Empire, especially in this era of supernatural invasion, Mu Chen had learned basic combat techniques and sword techniques.
Therefore, he took it for himself.
After making his preparations, he took a few steps to the beach and reached out to condense the Phosphorescence Fire, targeting the murloc closest to him.
As the " Phosphorescence " hit the murloc, the murloc swam over angrily.
However, just as Mu Chen raised his Tang sword and prepared to fight, the murloc turned around and swam away in a panic, quickly disappearing from the beach.
What was going on?
It was not Mu Chen's first time entering the Thousand Islands. He had entered the Thousand Islands with Ye Lan before, but it was his first time seeing a Murloc escape.
These monsters from another dimension did not have high intelligence. Once their hatred was established, they would not stop until one of them was dead. There was no way they would run away.
But today, this murloc had turned around and fled right under his nose. It was very strange.
Mu Chen, who did not know what was going on, continued to shoot Phosphorescence at another Murloc not far away.
Just like before, the murloc swam towards Mu Chen aggressively. After a certain distance, it suddenly turned around and fled without warning.
Mu Chen did not believe it and tried a few more times. The results were the same.
He was originally full of enthusiasm and was ready to upgrade his " Ocean Life " ability to green quality. Who knew that he would encounter such a strange thing?
Mu Chen was indignant.
Therefore, he gritted his teeth and jumped into the sea.
In the Thousand Islands, going into the water was a suicidal act.
There were not only large monsters like the murlocs in the sea, but also a large number of jellyfish that were difficult to detect with the naked eye.
The jellyfish here were very aggressive. They could either discharge electricity or sting people.
Whether it was the electric shock or the poison from the jellyfish, it would paralyze people and make them lose their combat ability. In serious cases, they would even die from nerve paralysis.
Even if they did not die on the spot, they would easily become the target of the nearby murlocs.
However, Mu Chen could not care less. He just wanted to find a Murloc to fight.
He was lucky. After walking in the waist-deep water for a while, he did not suffer any attacks from the jellyfish. Instead, he slowly approached a murloc.
Murlocs were monsters that would attack humans, but their vision was not very good. They could only see things within ten meters.
When Mu Chen walked into the Fishman's field of vision, the other party immediately discovered him.
Just as he was waiting for the murloc to take the initiative to attack, the murloc, which had been stunned for less than a second, turned around and fled. It had the same reaction as its previous kind.
It seemed that it was not the problem of the " Phosphorescence ", but that the murlocs were afraid of Mu Chen.
But why are they afraid of me?
Mu Chen was puzzled.
He remembered that the last time he came to the Thousand Islands, the murlocs were quite " enthusiastic " to him, chasing him on the beach until he was in a mess.
Was it because of the system?
It was still that…Mirage Realm!
Mu Chen did not know what the Mirage Realm was, and he did not have such a supernatural ability in his memory.
However, he knew the phrase mirage.
Clam was a type of sea monster in the myths and legends of the Tang Empire. At first, it looked like a huge clam. After it evolved, it took the form of a mirage dragon, which had the power to control clouds and rain.
However, the Mirage was an ancient legend of the Tang Empire, and the Mirage Realm was a supernatural ability from another plane.
The white dimensional hole that allowed one to enter another plane had first appeared less than ten years ago, and there were no legends about other planes in ancient times.
Therefore, Mu Chen did not think that the Mirage Realm was related to the mirage in the Tang Empire's mythology.
Perhaps it was the suppression of the quality of the ability…
As a purple-quality superpower, the Mirage was absolutely powerful on the beach of the Thousand Islands. It was not surprising that it could suppress the murlocs and jellyfish.
After much thought, Mu Chen could only use this explanation to comfort himself.
There were also more powerful monsters in the Thousand Islands, such as green-quality shrimp soldiers, blue-quality crab generals, and turtle mages.
Mu Chen did not know if they would be suppressed by the Mirage, but he knew that he could not defeat these monsters. At least, that was the case before he figured out how to use the Mirage.
He had no choice but to leave.
Although the white dimensional hole in the Thousand Islands was located in a fixed location, there was a certain degree of random when humans were teleported here. They could appear anywhere on the continental shelf beach.
Mu Chen walked southwest along the beach based on his blurry memories.
The white dimensional cave should be over there.
Opposite the white dimensional hole, there was a black dimensional hole in the depths of the sea. It was the entrance for the monsters from another dimension to enter the Thousand Islands.
And the Thousand Islands was actually only located in the middle layer between Earth and the other world.
There were many other places like the Thousand Islands on Earth, where different monsters and abilities were produced.
For example, in Kaiyuan City, where Mu Chen was located, apart from the Thousand Islands alternate plane, there was also the Wanqiu alternate plane in the mountains near the inland.
He planned to find some time to go to the other plane and try out the ability that the system had given him.
After walking along the beach for more than an hour, the white Dimensional Cave finally appeared not far ahead.
Along the way, he passed by several hunting teams that were fighting against the murlocs.
After being disturbed by Mu Chen, the Murlocs kept running away, forcing him to stick close to the cliff. He did not dare to get too close to the beach to avoid attracting the attention of other ability users.
The words of the " blue whale " still echoed in Mu Chen's mind. The Lin family of the East Ocean wanted to kill him.
Facing a behemoth like the Lin family, he needed to keep a low profile for the time being and then increase his strength as soon as possible until he had the ability to protect himself and counterattack.
After entering the Dimensional Cave again, he experienced a moment of dizziness. When he recovered, he had already returned to the small island in Kaiyuan City.
The gatekeeper in charge of the inspection post was still the same person as before.
When he saw Mu Chen walk out of the Dimensional Cave alone, he was shocked and could not help but wink at him.
"What about the three members of the Blue Whale team?”
"The alternate plane is a dangerous place after all. Who can guarantee that no one will die?”Mu Chen directly borrowed the words of " Blue Whale."
The gatekeeper instantly understood what he meant and could not help but give him a thumbs up." Good job! However, you better be careful. Those guys have a backer.”
Mu Chen had a good impression of the gatekeeper. He nodded and smiled amicably.
Just as he was about to leave, the gatekeeper called out to him," You can't take that Tang sword away.”
"Why?" Mu Chen's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the other party had taken a fancy to that saber?
The gatekeeper opened the projection screen and said,"Look, this knife is a regulated knife." Once you leave this island, you will be in the downtown area. As a non-military personnel, you are not qualified to leave with a knife. I suggest that you leave the knife here so that you can use it the next time you enter another plane.”
Mu Chen understood that he had misunderstood the other party.
But he couldn't leave the knife here.
Due to the suppression of the Mirage Realm on the Thousand-island sea monster, he was going to try his hand at Wanqiu. He couldn't do it without weapons.
Perhaps sensing Mu Chen's hesitation, the gatekeeper suggested," If you plan to hunt for a long time, I suggest you join the army. With a military post, one could hold a knife legally.”
Military position…
Memories of this emerged in Mu Chen's mind.
The Tang Empire first implemented the prefectural military system, but as the regime changed from an imperial system to a monarchical system, various systems were also perfected accordingly.
In the 21st century, apart from the basic differences between the different types of military, there were three different types of soldiers in the Tang Empire: full-time soldiers, reserve soldiers, and mercenaries.
Among them, the reserve duty was the continuation of the military system. They had other daily jobs and enjoyed tax exemption. They trained regularly every year and would only be recruited when they encountered war.
On the other hand, full-time soldiers were more in line with the current international trend of military specialization, which was commonly known as the regular army. They enjoyed better treatment and took on more responsibilities.
Mercenaries were born in response to the invasion of Esper abilities. They gave Esper ability users who had been engaged in monster hunting for a long time a legal identity and the right to accumulate merit points. Other than that, they basically did not enjoy the treatment of full-time soldiers.
" Then I'll join the mercenary group." Although mercenaries had the lowest status among the three Sequences, they had the most freedom and were undoubtedly Mu Chen's first choice.
The gatekeeper opened a page on the projection screen." Okay, fill in this application form and get it approved in a week. Before that, he had to leave the saber behind.”
Just as Mu Chen was filling in the application form, the officer he had seen earlier walked toward the inspection post again.
The moment he saw Mu Chen, a surprised expression appeared on his face.
According to his thoughts, he should not have the chance to see Mu Chen's face again.
After recovering from his shock, he quickly picked up his phone and prepared to make a call.
There was a name on his phone's address book-Lin Yongchang!
