Chapter 1125: Continuous Poisoning

Chapter 1125: Chapter 1125: Continuous Poisoning

Having told Guan Shu and the others that he needed to rest for a bit, Xu Huo then entered Shelter 101, took out a piece of paper, placed it on the table, and began to use the Extended Characteristic "Completed Script".

"Completed Script" can record what he sees and hears as well as the events that happen to him, both significant and trivial, which it can incorporate into its record. This characteristic can even determine which information is crucial for him based on previous records and specifically write it out, even for things he merely glanced at.

Of course, this characteristic cannot foresee or describe things beyond his knowledge, such as props or characteristics used on him by others. "Completed Script" can record, but until he learns of the related information about props or characteristics, the script cannot write it out.

After activating the characteristic, lines of text quickly appeared on the paper. The beginning parts can be ignored; the useful information starts from the part about the Stone Forest:

"...If Xu Huo paid enough attention, he would realize that among the fungi in the underground nest, there is a type he once saw in books. This fungus might not seem noteworthy in daily life, but it can serve as food for other fungi and is highly nutritious... Considering Xu Huo’s consumption of the King Fungus, he shouldn’t need any special reminders..."

...

"...Mr. Kang’s enclosed space was filled with a trace amount of poison. Xu Huo, confident in his defenses, didn’t take it seriously, but due to multiple wounds on his body, the poison quickly entered through these wounds and started battling with the King Fungus..."

"...Because his body has detoxifying functions, the toxicity temporarily didn’t affect Xu Huo, which is quite miraculous. However, when he began to cough out dead King Fungus, it indicated that his internal environment was becoming unbalanced... Had he been more careful, this would have been the time to provide the King Fungus with sufficient nutrients..."

Xu Huo felt ridiculed by the piece of paper... He wasn’t too worried when Guan Shu reminded him that the Antitoxin wouldn’t work against Mr. Kang’s poison, as the Antitoxin he provided to people like Guan Shu was diluted with King Bacterial Liquid, simply neutralizing poison and not capable of infinite reproduction and automatic detoxification like the King Fungus.

Still, he had taken sufficient protective measures while fighting Mr. Kang, albeit struggling to completely avoid exposure in his strained condition.

The King Fungus can parasitize within the human body, but it does not grow indefinitely; after growing for a while, it automatically dies. The reason Xu Huo can ensure continuous growth of the King Fungus within his body is similar to Xin Lang who initially gave him the King Fungus: he uses the Nüwa Stone—a stone he suspects to be a kind of Primeval Stone.

Therefore, he does not need any fungal nutrients.

He generally doesn’t wear items like the Nüwa Stone and Super Props all the time, firstly, for fear of attracting the attention of advanced players, and secondly, for fear of accidentally losing them, especially considering there are many theft-specific props in the game, and he owns two such props.

New text then appeared on the paper:

"...Although Xu Huo has not promptly replenished nutrients for the King Fungus, he owns a Nüwa Stone gifted by a friend. Thus, he’s not worried about his own safety. However, the King Fungus can’t quickly neutralize the poison completely, posing a significant threat to his life..."

There were many descriptions on the paper about others using props to ambush, but they were not of great value, so those were skipped. The key points were only two:

"...Xu Huo doesn’t know that when he was picking up the Cubic Space, a player wearing a hat picked up a piece of Mr. Kang’s arm flesh, peeled an azure bead from inside it, and excitedly pocketed it... He didn’t rush to leave Xiaohe City but dodged other’s gazes and hid at the edge of the city, watching the bar’s situation through an old monitor..."

"...Similarly, he doesn’t know that when picking up Cubic Space, just thirty centimeters beneath his feet among the debris, there was a golden metal playing card that flew out together with the cubic space..."

Metal playing card... Mr. Kang had not used any similar props during the fight, but being blown out, it must have been a prop he couldn’t secure in time... It couldn’t possibly be another possessed item, right?

Xu Huo felt an itch in his throat, turned his head and coughed, then spat out a clump of dead mycelium.He collected it into a container and then tested the poison level: Rank-A.

The King Fungus can even perfectly detoxify seven kinds of S-rank toxins; while it may not rapidly detoxify Rank-A toxins, it should not be a problem; otherwise, he wouldn’t just now start feeling issues with his body.

However, overconfidence could be dangerous, and he opened his personal panel to start purchasing Antitoxins in bulk from the bounty channel and Beneath the Dimension and conducted simple experiments in the shelter.

After five hours, only three types of Antitoxins showed some effectiveness, but in a simulated human body environment, the virus still replicated rapidly and couldn’t be completely eradicated.

After intervals, having consumed Antitoxins multiple times, Xu Huo spat out quite a bit of mycelium again, but he consistently didn’t feel major discomfort in his body.

However, when he stepped out of the shelter, Chi Minghong caught sight of him and blurted out, "Are you poisoned?"

During the conversation, she even took out a mirror and shone it on his face, "Look for yourself!"

Xu Huo was aware of his current appearance; his lips were slightly darkened, and there were faint purple veins on both sides of his neck.

"I’ve already used Antitoxin," he said.

Guan Shu and the others looked at him with concern, falling silent for a moment after realizing it was Mr. Kang’s doing, having previously experienced how dangerous that poison could be.

"There might be Antitoxin at his residence," Guan Shu said. "We’ll go out and look."

Xu Huo expressed his gratitude, stating he wasn’t in much trouble, "I still have some things to handle outside."

After saying that, he left the bar and quickly went to the place where he had found the Cubic Space, then from underneath a stone, he picked up the metal playing card.

The one-millimeter-thick metal playing card featured a colorful gift box pattern, and aside from a rectangular frame on the edge, did not have numbers or other game markers like ordinary playing cards.

Into the prop column:

[Magician’s Gift: A precious gift from the hands of a magician, but a precious gift does not necessarily mean a good gift. It is said that magicians usually give it to the next subject of their magic show, and as an important character in the magic performance, if the recipient fails to appear on time at the venue, they will permanently be on the magician’s blacklist—unless they die, a magic performance on them is inevitable sooner or later.]

[In magic, suddenly disappearing or being split into two parts is quite common.]

[Note, this gift is one-time use only, cannot be transferred or sold, and must not be lost or discarded.]
