Chapter 81: Chapter 81: New Features of the Shopping Mall
This meant that many Blood Demons had already started to brazenly consume humans a month and a half ago without being discovered.
However, considering the presence of numerous underdeveloped areas in this country, such a situation is somewhat understandable.
It could only be said, thankfully there weren’t many Blood Demon Mothers here.
Otherwise, even without powerful weapons, the sheer number of Blood Demons swarming out would still pose a significant threat to the Global United Front.
As for now, the Points Bank!
Shen Hao glanced at his own panel.
In just two short days here, he had already gained fifteen million points, bringing his total accumulated points to forty-five million.
This was despite the fact that Matrices were difficult to catch, some deliberately killed off most of their subordinates when they sensed danger, and there was even one that committed suicide before he could arrive.
Even for a species that instinctively fears death, courage was not lacking when it came to the future of their species.
Otherwise, just the over one million Blood Demons from this country alone would have comfortably elevated him to the White Level 10 Mall.
But, there were other gains as well.
Shen Hao looked at the inventory in his panel, where a Purple Epic Ability ball lay quietly.
It had appeared while he was dealing with those four Blood Demon Mothers.
Each of the four Blood Demon Mothers possessed Level 7 strength and uniform Blue Talents. If it weren’t for Shen Hao, any other Chosen One would have despaired under their might, which was the result of the rapid growth brought about by the large number of Blood Demon Subordinates.
But even so, only one Purple Ability dropped, which just goes to show how rare powerful abilities are.
However, this ability was somewhat superfluous for Shen Hao.
[Divine Power]
Yes, it’s exactly as it sounds—an ability that significantly increases strength.
But Shen Hao’s fighting style is clearly more inclined towards long-range combat.
It’s not that he couldn’t learn close combat, but there was simply no need, as anyone who could ignore Dominator pressure and fight him in close combat would probably still be no match for him even with this Purple Ability.
“Give it to the others then, Qiuyue should be quite suitable,” Shen Hao felt a bit of regret.
In fact, with the opening of the White Level 8 Mall, as resources rapidly rose to higher tiers, Shen Hao increasingly felt that Chosen Ones were still at a fundamental stage.
The various resources and items in the mall were clearly showcasing the mighty Extraordinary Civilization and the different paths on the Extraordinary Path.
However, what Chosen Ones could do was still just piling up resources in three dimensions.
Even the various uses of Talents and abilities had to be painstakingly discovered by themselves.
Shen Hao didn’t quite believe this was the path of Chosen Ones.
Without any other avenues, the answers should lie within the mall.
Continue upgrading the mall, and one will surely learn more about the Chosen One.
“Hmm, Level 6 now?” Shen Hao glanced at the changes in his own level, then swallowed a White Level 8 [Soul Tempering Pill], closed his eyes, and prepared for the next battle.
No matter what, eighty thousand Blood Demons, just grabbing ten to twenty thousand, would be enough to level up to the White Level 9 Mall.
The events that followed were not too suspenseful, as the Blood Demon Mother probably witnessed Shen Hao single-handedly suppress four Blood Demon Mothers with ease in the live broadcast by the Global United Front and lost the will to wait for death in the city, deciding to lead its Blood Demon Subordinates in an escape.
Such a quantity of Blood Demon Substances split into forty or fifty groups.
Truly, it wasn’t easy to find the hiding Blood Demon Mother within them.
But Shen Hao’s efficiency was not low, upon arrival he quickly began to clear some Blood Demons, as long as those Blood Demons committed suicide after his arrival, it indicated that the Mother was within a certain range.
One should know that after equipping various gear, his spiritual power had reached forty-five points!
The map radius exceeded five hundred kilometers!
This range had already surpassed the Spiritual Network range of the Blood Demon Mother.
Therefore, the Blood Demon Mother faced a choice—either give points to Shen Hao or continuously expose her detection radius.
After having over fifty thousand of her subordinates continuously killed and realizing that she was still being pursued, she finally made a choice.
—Disperse all subordinates, give away points, and fight for a chance of survival!
“Really nice,” Shen Hao said with a smile, “The last Matrix that fell into this situation killed all its subordinates before decisively taking its own life. It seems there are all sorts of individuals within a species.”
However, this was just a meaningless struggle.
A five hundred kilometer detection range—unless she fled by warplane, where else could she escape to?
Even the Analysis Department had deduced the approximate range of this Matrix based on the escape routes of these Blood Demons.
Although there wasn’t certainty in capturing the Mother right away, since the opponent wanted to use points to delay him, Shen Hao was altogether capable of slowly harvesting these subordinates.
Thirty thousand Blood Demons!
Twelve million points! He could swallow them all by himself!
Having been in this country for two days, this was the largest batch of points!
“Level 9 Mall!”
Before the sun set, he had captured the desperate Mother and finally had time to check out the goods in the Level 9 Mall.
This time, however, he discovered a completely different interface!
[Ability Ball Furnace]
“This is…”
Shen Hao looked at the introduction on the interface, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.
“Put at least ten low-level ability balls into it and pay a certain number of points, and there’s a chance to fuse an ability ball of higher rarity… I see, I was saying the difficulty of dropping a Purple ability was too high.”
This indeed was a surprise.
Shen Hao had by now killed or controlled over a hundred thousand Blood Demons, but in total, had only obtained two Purple abilities.
The first was a special reward obtained from solving the first Blood Demon Mother case, and the second was from overcoming a Blood Demon Mother two levels higher.
At this rate, he might not even hope to assemble three suitable Purple abilities for himself after dealing with all the Blood Demons.
But this new option certainly offered an alternative.
He might not have anything else, but he had plenty of foundational ability balls!
“That’s not right either.”
After thinking it through, Shen Hao suddenly frowned.
White ability balls actually had a significant use as well, including for other Chosen Ones to use, and also for improving the levels of one’s abilities.
After all, unlike Talents, ability levels don’t increase with one’s own level but require nourishment from a large number of similar category ability balls.
Shen Hao had by now invested nearly a thousand white ability balls like [Electric Shock] and [Electric Current] into his [Thunder], and it had only been upgraded to Level 4.
And this so-called[Ability Ball Furnace]operated on probability.
At least ten, the more you invest, the higher the probability of fusing a higher quality ability ball, but it was still just a probability, not a guarantee.
