Chapter 387: Chapter 182: Weakling’s Forbidden Zone

Rousi’s gene module caused Gao Xin great trouble initially.

But now, the Cayman crocodile recognized it at a glance, as if it were some famous module.

The Nile crocodile, hearing the commotion, also looked over.

The arrival was skin and bones with a grotesquely swollen belly, disheveled hair, and covered in foul-smelling blood and filth.

She looked almost like a nightmarish demon!

"Interrupting my meal, kill!" Rousi’s eyes were bloodshot.

Her joining the battle instantly turned the tide.

Rousi, albeit emaciated, reacted extremely fast; her reduced weight allowed her to burst with incredible speed.

After shattering the bull’s leg bone, she attacked the back of the Cayman crocodile’s head with her dagger violently.

The exoskeleton there was already cracked, a gap appearing.

And with each strike, she hit precisely in that gap.

Rousi, once known for her aggressive fighting, now exhibited astonishing assassin tactics—still emanating formidable combat strength despite her frail figure.

It seemed she had trained for this, using sweeping strikes when larger, becoming an assassin when thinner!

No matter the state, she never felt out of place, still that fierce and monstrous vixen Gao Xin called a monster!

At the moment, her dagger was sharp; it was Chizuru’s secondary dagger with a Grade B.

She viciously stabbed at the Cayman crocodile’s wound, nimbly dodging and taking hits when she couldn’t evade.

The Cayman crocodile’s attacks would pass right through, failing to hit her at all!

After over a dozen exchanges, the dagger plunged deep into the Cayman crocodile’s brain, prompting a pain-filled cry, "Third brother, save me!"

The Nile crocodile, hearing the shout, hastily ignored Gao Xin’s offensive to come to his rescue.

But Gao Xin was no pushover, slashing him so fiercely his exoskeleton tore and a massive wound nearly split him in two.

Fortunately, the Nile crocodile still had a couple of tricks up his sleeve.

"Roar!" With a sudden bellow, he forced Gao Xin to spit blood, his internal organs utterly ruptured.

Rousi was affected likewise, her gaunt body oozing blood as well.

This move, Sound Wave Control, had been used by the Marsh crocodile before, but it was only strong enough to kill bugs and slightly disrupt a battle.

However, the Nile crocodile’s version was obviously more potent.

The four immediately created distance between them, confrontationally catching their breaths.

"The ’Quantum Ghost’ was the renowned module of the first-generation leader of Yakuza, Yamaguchi Shinko, and it was never uploaded to the Silver Tower. How do you have it?" the Nile crocodile exclaimed.

Rousi’s face turned ugly, "Of course... the chairman... he gave it to me."

"What!" the Nile crocodile was shocked.

"You... you consumed Yamaguchi Shinko?"

To obtain a module created by someone else, there are only three methods: either the creator uploaded it to the Silver Tower for mass production and exchange,

or using a chimeric gene module to capture it, although this could only be successful once,

or, the third method, directly consuming the opponent’s brain, or the organ corresponding to the module, and then relying on strong adaptability to forcibly acquire and inherit the module.

Apart from Gao Xin, people had only these three methods. The third one even allows for taking higher grade modules: SR can take SSR modules, provided their adaptability is strong enough.

Of course, leaping grades means it’s not the original version; undoubtedly Rousi’s not SSR, hence she adapted a lower version of the Quantum Ghost.

It can’t unleash its full effect, but at least she obtained it.

This is the significance of adaptability.

Each person’s adaptability varies; naturally, some individuals are robust, others, quite ordinary—an attribute difficult to quantify with data. Within the SR modules, there’s even one called ’Critical Adaptability,’ which offers no direct increase to combat strength but the closer one is to their limit, the greater their adaptability grows, with the maximum effect being direct genetic recombination.

And this ’consumption’ mentioned isn’t limited to literal eating, which is, in fact, the least successful method.

Implanting within the body or absorption through special abilities are much better methods.

But no matter the method, the ability to adapt is what’s most crucial.

If the ’Quantum Ghost’ module operated by a specific organ, Rousi could potentially gain the module by consuming it.

Typically, such acquisition is of an inheriting or stealing nature.

For most modules, consuming the brain has the highest success rate.

Especially for leaping grades, it is a necessity.

So... did Rousi really eat the brain of the first-generation leader?

Upon hearing the Nile crocodile’s questioning, Rousi’s eyes grew panicked and pained, but she did not deny.

Clearly, she was accepting it.

She actually had consumed the first-generation leader’s brain!

Gao Xin looked at Rousi in surprise. To be honest, if she hadn’t displayed her ability to phase through objects, he would have hardly recognized her.

So this ability wasn’t originally hers, but belonged to Yoshio’s father?

Didn’t Rousi respect him the most? How could she take his ability?

Gao Xin had a hunch there was more to the story.

If Rousi said the chairman gave it to her, then it must’ve been a voluntary consumption.

Probably he didn’t want such an ability to simply vanish.

"Finally decided to give up on Yakuza, huh?" Gao Xin couldn’t help but smile as she offered help.

He also understood what Chizuru meant when she said Luo Yan was in the dungeon.

It wasn’t that he was locked up, but rather, it was an opportunity to rescue Rousi.

Having endured Yakuza’s torment, Rousi must have realized that she was no more than a dog there, likely seeing through Yakuza by now.

But Rousi replied, "No, my life was given by the chairman, and so was this power. I promised him that, regardless of what Yakuza becomes, even in death, I will never betray Yakuza."
