Chapter 128: Chapter 120 Waiting for the Destined One_2

Zheng Yichen took out a gold ornament he had scavenged from a new Alien Phenomenon Remnant Zone and thought for a moment before adding a few more: "These should be enough to sustain them for a lifetime, right?"

"That’s enough, you’re very kind," Sister said, her tone was meant to be complimentary, but it carried a distinct note of flattery.

"Kind? Hah," Zheng Yichen looked at his own hands and slightly curled his lips. The Apocalypse World had given him a rough time, and the number of lives that had indirectly fallen by his hands while dealing with Alien Phenomenon creatures was not few. Rationally speaking, those lives would have perished due to the Alien Phenomenon creatures even if not by his actions.

But in their actual battles, they indeed died because of him.

"There are still two Phenomena left... Speaking of which, isn’t this bait too effective? I barely used it and it caused a creature rampage?" Zheng Yichen took out the earlier bait and spoke to Prioress Tia.

"The effect of the bait depends on the creature it attracts. The greater the effect on them, the more it means consuming you is beneficial to their evolution," explained Prioress Tia to Zheng Yichen, giving him a straightforward reason behind the bait’s potent effect without any mystery.

"Does this mean that if I encounter a being attracted by the bait that I can’t overpower, my situation would become very dangerous?"

"That’s right."

"..." He felt that he still needed to become stronger.

After taking a bath, Zheng Yichen returned to his previous training spot and resumed his training. He was attempting to further enhance the state of Burst Mode, trying to enter that rampage state without the aid of his battle suit, but the result was the same as before.

He could only maintain a normal Burst Mode state for a longer period, but there was no improvement in other aspects. Affected by Environmental Adjustment, even though he had dealt with some extraordinarily powerful mutated creatures in the Apocalypse environment and even devoured them, the feedback hadn’t given him any clear enhancement in strength or physique.

Now, dealing with another gorilla of the same kind probably wouldn’t bring him any significant improvement.

In terms of enhancements, the first time was more important. To bring about more significant improvements with the same kind of species afterwards, you would have to accumulate a large quantity.

This time, Zheng Yichen had stayed at the Dusk Cathedral for a week, thoroughly digesting the battle feedback before leaving.

The battle didn’t provide any physical enhancement, it was the spirit... or rather, the soul that had improved. With the soul improved, the strength of his spirit also increased, and the mental burden from the battle suit had become negligible.

His extraordinary abilities were of the type that grew stronger the more he fought, a kind of fast-tracked ability.

If there were any weaknesses, he could target corresponding extraordinary creatures, but when acting, he needed to make the necessary preparations, to avoid being instantly killed by the target.

This time, Zheng Yichen made a detour to the Alien Phenomenon zone where the giant serpent resided. In this area, he tried Burst Mode, and the feeling of constipation made the corner of Zheng Yichen’s eye twitch involuntarily. There was the sensation of Burst Mode, but the air-membrane that could distort the air on his body’s surface didn’t appear.

The strength of Burst Mode could only circulate under his skin, and after being affected by the environment, this feature of Burst Mode actually gave Zheng Yichen a sensation similar to using Inner Strength.

However, this thing shouldn’t be the kind of Inner Strength, at least Zheng Yichen didn’t feel anything like meridians.

In this environment, his combat ability was not much different from his first visit, just equipped with a stronger battle suit. And this battle suit was also affected by the environment, putting a greater strain on the wearer. When wearing it, Zheng Yichen could feel that his stamina was depleting very quickly.

Unlike in the Apocalypse environment where the physical burden could be ignored as long as he was well-fed, he could now handle the mental burden. However, in a lower intensity environment, he could withstand the mental burden, but not the physical one.

No wonder technological equipment was so popular among Alien Phenomenon hunters and Dusk hunters, while other weapons could be bought for just some money.

If the battle suit was a technological version, even if it came to a low-intensity environment, it could be equipped as usual and the effects would still perform normally without any additional impact on the wearer.

The giant serpent appeared as expected, and like last time, it could secrete potent venom but rarely used it, secreting the poison only when it was truly aggravated.

The effects of the venom that it secreted last time hadn’t even disappeared from the ground.

After provoking the giant serpent and collecting enough venom, Zheng Yichen left the Alien Phenomenon zone contentedly and moved on to the last mobile phenomenon.

"Hmm, this seems similar to the giant serpent’s Alien Phenomenon environment." Zheng Yichen took out what he had prepared earlier, a body of a mutated creature, very fresh. Its body was filled with the giant serpent’s venom. Once he arrived here, Zheng Yichen directly stuffed bait into the belly of the mutant creature’s corpse and crushed it.

After tossing it on the ground, he found a place to hide.

Soon, the Alien Phenomenon creature of the area was attracted. This Alien Phenomenon creature was similar to a hippopotamus, but as tall as an elephant. It sniffed the air, looked at the mutant creature’s body left by Zheng Yichen, and opened its huge mouth to swallow down the delicious prey.
