Chapter 346 - 161: Exchange for All Resistances

Chapter 346: Chapter 161: Exchange for All Resistances

Ling Sha eventually dragged Gao Xin back to her own room.

It had to be said, her safe house was indeed vast.

There was a garden hot spring, a small western-style building, and a training ground, all extravagantly decorated.

The dome was not purely white, but a pale blue, even dotted with white clouds.

With a wave of her hand, Ling Sha even turned it into a starry sky dome, with dazzling stars twinkling, quiet and beautiful.

"Must’ve cost a nice penny to do all this?" Gao Xin asked.

Ling Sha said indifferently, "Seems like it was over a hundred thousand, I don’t remember."

Gao Xin sighed. If he had over a hundred thousand, he wouldn’t have joined this game.

Ling Sha then led him into the building, pointing to a room, "There’s a B+ level healing pod inside, don’t bother with the Silver Tower’s repairs, just use that."

Gao Xin stared wide-eyed, "Isn’t this healing pod like 800,000?"

Ling Sha said indifferently, "Seems like it? I didn’t buy it, it was a birthday gift from my dad."

"..." Gao Xin glanced at Gao Jiaoji.

Gao Jiaoji stood with his hands behind his back, ignoring him, staring at the machine and saying, "I’ve seen C-level healing pods at the hospital. If my family could’ve afforded this, my cancer would have been cured long ago."

"Who would’ve thought a bunch of prisoners would have the luxury, tsk tsk."

Gao Xin pursed his lips and said to Ling Sha, "My wounds are mostly healed, I don’t need it."

Ling Sha grinned, "I know, seeing how skinny you are."

"You’re here now, let me treat you to a meal."

With that, she walked into the underground ice room, directly hoisting a huge whale out, not sure what kind it was, but it was a radiation beast.

"Today I stepped into Elephant Level, and made your acquaintance, feeling happy so I want to treat you to something good, a Tiger Whale!"

As she spoke, Ling Sha thumped the Tiger Whale onto the floor.

Gao Xin weighed it in his mind, this one was at least ten tons.

The meat quality was of True Tiger level, at Silver Tower prices that’s 300 points per kilogram, which means, this one whale was worth three million redemption points!

"Holy crap..." Gao Xin was dumbfounded.

Seeing him stunned, Ling Sha put her hands on her hips and said, "Don’t be shy, I can’t cook, so let’s just eat it like this, half for you and half for me."

Gao Xin stared at her, "You’re giving me this three million thing to eat, just like that?"

Ling Sha surprised, "Three million? How is this thing worth three million?"

"Listen to me, some things you shouldn’t exchange from the Silver Tower, it’s too expensive. This is actually the price needed to exchange for juvenile beasts, one should just breed them themselves each batch. Now the island has all kinds of radiation beasts, no need to spend such wronged money."

"If every need had to depend on the Silver Tower, where would all the industries on Crime Prison Island come from?"

"Like this radiation beast breeding, the nine city powers all have large-scale breeding, and the costs have been driven down long ago."

"Eat up, it’s all home-raised."

Gao Xin nodded, he knew about this; even the prices in Yamaguchi Village’s radiation beast market were lower than Silver Tower’s, let alone Tangren City, such a big power.

"Then how much does this Tiger Whale cost?" he asked casually.

Ling Sha tilted her head and said, "One hundred and eighty thousand perhaps?"

"Pfft..." Gao Xin was embarrassed.

He fought tooth and nail in the high-level games, barely managing to earn 1.74 million redemption points.

And now, just being treated to a meal by someone cost 180,000!

Damn, no wonder Ling Sha wasn’t interested in money...

"And you say you’re not a rich girl?" Gao Xin sounded a little anxious.

He racked his brains playing games, barely making ends meet, and results like these were just someone’s starting point.

Ling Sha blinked and said, "I’m really not a rich girl, just don’t worry about food and drink, that’s all."

"Me and my parents are just personal guards to the City Lord of Tangren City, is being well-fed considered rich?"

"I don’t eat this at every meal, it’s just that I’m still quite weak now, and having just stepped into Elephant Level, I desperately need a large amount of radiation beast meat to replenish, right?"

Gao Xin had nothing to say, his spirits somewhat dampened.

He had struggled so hard, all to eat his fill, to get stronger, to not be a weakling anymore.

And this goal, just by making the acquaintance of a little rich girl, was already exceedingly fulfilled...

At this moment, he suddenly understood how Luo Yan felt.

"What’s wrong? You don’t resent the rich, do you?" Ling Sha said, "I know you probably can’t afford these, but with your skills, you’ll surely have these someday."

"If you’re willing to join Tangren City, the treatment will only be better than this."

Gao Xin regained his composure, "True, this is nothing."

"I’m actually super rich already..."

He was just shocked at not having encountered so much money at once before.

But to be honest, the ’wealth’ he possessed was not small either, and it was all invisible.

A B+ level repair effect, he normally had it, the Fake Medicine effect lasted indefinitely, he didn’t need to spend that 800,000, it was like carrying a healing pod with him...

Then there were gene modules, a major expense for many powerhouses, but he hardly had to spend money on these.

Unless he needed them urgently, he could just learn them on the fly.

Now Gao Xin was too weak, otherwise he would have directly learned Lin An’s ’Activated Exoskeleton’.

As for radiation beast meat, powerhouses needed a lot of it, but he didn’t.

Even if Ling Sha digested the entire ten tons of Tiger Whale, the effective weight she could gain would probably not exceed two tons, with a conversion rate at best of 20%.

But he was different, with the Fake Medicine effect combined with imaginative training, his conversion for the same level radiation beast meat reached an astounding 99.9%, almost directly absorbing ’his own flesh’.

If he were to fully absorb the ten tons of Tiger Whale, Gao Xin’s weight too would reach ten tons!

Of course, that would make him a big hunk of meat, his speed and agility would drop significantly, plus Gao Xin calculated that there wouldn’t be enough time.

Mental training required time, and he should now be able to convert a hundred kilograms per hour.

He also had to sleep to replenish his Heart Power, training at most ten hours a day.

Today was almost over, and after that he could train for at most three more days before he had to rush to Yamaguchi Village.

That meant his weight could reach up to three tons at most.

"You invited me for this meal, so I won’t hold back."

Gao Xin didn’t stand on ceremony with her, eating his fill. With one slice from the Demon Blade, he got a large piece of whale meat, rich and oily.

Ling Sha grinned and sat down on the ground, eating together with him.

As Gao Xin ate, he browsed through the available exchanges, first checking the symbiotics, and sure enough, as he stepped into True Tiger, the symbiotics had also improved.

The kinetic energy absorption spore had reached sub-elephant, and digestion microbe population had reached sub-elephant!

It was thanks to the kinetic energy absorption spores that even when he had only been sub-tiger, he had the resilience of a True Tiger, taking a blow from the black knight’s substitute attack head-on.

Otherwise, when he first encountered the Biological Field and was being pummeled in the head, he would have already died.

It was really too close. If most of the kinetic energy hadn’t been absorbed, his head would have been blown apart, and he would have died at the hands of the black knight.

"Sub-elephant... Is that enough? Should I upgrade the kinetic energy absorption spores to sub-elephant too?"

"No, this mainly resists Shockwaves, and it’s also effective against blunt impacts. If it’s a sharp weapon attack, absorption is much slower, and it can’t absorb other types at all."

"Better to exchange for a few more types."

Gao Xin looked through various exchanges and finally sorted out five types of symbiotic.

They corresponded to resistance against cutting, electric shock, high temperature, low temperature, and ionizing radiation—five types of resistance.

An individual exchange up to sub-elephant level would cost two hundred thousand.

To reach sub-elephant level, it required five hundred thousand.

To exchange for all five would mean his money would only suffice for sub-elephant level exchanges, eating up a total of one million.

"So expensive... but I’ll take it!"

"My Demon Blade is only B+ grade, and it’s impossible to handle everything on its own. I myself need to have sufficient resistance too."

Although Gao Xin could use the Demon Blade to cut through Plasma Cannons and absorb Lin An’s electric shocks, that was because their power was not great enough.

If a barrage came at him, what use would a single blade be, it wasn’t armor after all.

"Better find myself a set of armor. I’ve never had real armor."

Every time it had been either parrying with the blade or taking hits with his body.

Obviously, that worked against weaker opponents, but against someone stronger than himself, it was a huge disadvantage, also not conducive to facing multiple enemies.

"Hmm? What did you just exchange for? Symbiotic items?" Ling Sha asked.

Gao Xin nodded, "Yeah, I spent a million on some resistances."

"Pfft..." Ling Sha was astounded, "What? You spent a million on those trinkets?"

"Why didn’t you just buy a nano-implant? Then you’d have all-around resistance straight away."

"I have a B+ grade nano-implant set that costs only six hundred thousand and comes with True Tiger level stamina, strength, and cell vitality."

"Most importantly, it slows down the wear on my organs from overclocking. With my five-stage overclocking, the wear is only equivalent to four-stages."

Gao Xin looked at Ling Sha, no wonder this woman had been through so many battles, thin as a rail, yet so much better off than himself.

She too had five-stage overclocking, and used it longer than he had.

Even if she naturally weighed more than him, the difference shouldn’t be so vast. It turned out to be because of the nano-implant.

It included Ling Sha’s stats maxed out in six dimensions, the beauty filled with numbers, also because of the nano-implant.

Even at the same weight, same realm, her stats were twice as high as others, effectively breaking the limit.

If Ling Sha herself ran out of energy, but the nano-implant still had some, then she would still have True Tiger level fighting capabilities.

Gao Xin followed suit pragmatically, "A nano-implant is a good choice, six hundred thousand, right... Good, I’ll buy it too!"

He immediately exchanged for a set of B+ grade nano-implant, spending another six hundred thousand.

An implant, which is Strong Breeding Armor, is a life-enhancing system that can be embedded throughout the body, allowing the user to gain superhuman abilities by merging with this nano-armor.‌

Even a small wolf, after exchanging for B+ grade nano-implant, would have the strength, stamina, and resistance of a True Tiger.

Of course, they would lack reflexes, because you can’t just wrap a layer of armor around your brain to make it stronger.

So the strength piled up purely through an implant falls short against real Tiger Level opponents, but despite this, it’s still a must-buy for those with money.

As expected, many so-called Kings of Wolves, Tigers, Elephants, Dragons, they all have it.

It’s an instant battle power available to anyone with money.

In fact, in Gao Xin’s eyes, the cost-effectiveness of this wasn’t as high as that of the symbiotics.

He had spent a million on sub-elephant level resistances, and they would evolve with him.

The kinetic energy absorption spore he had on his body had initially cost six thousand, and it was now at sub-elephant level, worth two hundred thousand. How much had it appreciated?

Its value would continue to rise in the future. You might think he spent a million, but once he reached Elephant Level, he would break even.

Many thought symbiotics were weak because they added too little immediate power and were very expensive.

Even more crucially, they couldn’t harness symbiotics stronger than themselves, as it would backfire, affecting their combat power...

So they preferred technological equipment, which could be exchanged across levels without backfiring.

"Technological equipment becomes obsolete too quickly. If I reach Elephant Level, this thing will become somewhat useless."

"Still, I bought it, because I desperately needed an immediate combat power boost."

"Later, when I don’t need it anymore, fixing it up a bit should make it usable for someone else."

"Tsk, one hundred and sixty thousand, all spent just like that?"
