Chapter 289: Message from the Bounty Platform

Chapter 289: Chapter 289: Message from the Bounty Platform

He spoke with evident satisfaction, but Xu Huo didn’t believe him.

"Super Evolution shouldn’t be completely without signs, it seems like only your hands have evolved a second time, why just two hands, do you really not have any clues?"

The Abstract Man sneered, "I’ve fallen to this point, what use would lying to you be? Besides, even if I really knew something, what could you do about it? Super Evolution can’t be replicated, just like each person’s traits, even among the same class of professionals, they can have completely different traits, or even contradictory ones, based on the player’s personality and experiences."

Xu Huo pondered and didn’t answer.

A few seconds later, he said, "It’s normal for you not to understand Super Evolution, most people can’t grasp that feeling."

"To put it simply, Super Evolution is the second evolution of an Evolver, and the result of the second evolution is the enhancement of abilities in some aspect, equivalent to evolving to a higher degree compared to other players with the same rate of evolution. The gap between them can be compensated for with the evolution rate," Xu Huo put down his cup and looked up at the person in the painting, "Right?"

Brother Tu’s current situation was exactly proving his point.

"That’s just because the direction of my Super Evolution was physical strength, if it were other types, you wouldn’t even know how you died!" the Abstract Man shouted angrily.

"Other types, like controlling the air?" Xu Huo countered, then added, "Since traits can achieve that, it’s just an enhancement."

"Frog in a well," the Abstract Man huffed coldly and then shut his mouth.

Seeing that he had no intention to continue, Xu Huo also put the painting away.

Brother Tu wasn’t telling the whole truth; he definitely knew something but wasn’t willing to divulge it. However, it didn’t matter, since Super Evolution existed, it wasn’t a secret. There were many other channels to find out.

He didn’t need the Evolution Potions offered by the game; his purpose for entering the instances, aside from obtaining the item rewards, was to search the various instance worlds for the Perfect Evolution Potion. However, the Perfect Evolution Potions were not easy to find, whether because Dr. Wu, who invented the potion, hid the technology, or because the Stellar Pharmaceutical Research Group controlled it. For ordinary players, obtaining a Perfect Evolution Potion was solely reliant on luck.

The first batch of Perfect Evolution Potions he obtained was the result of Master Niese’s long-term searches; he didn’t think it was sheer luck that he would stumble upon an S-type Evolutionary Agent by randomly entering an instance, so Super Evolution was a new avenue. If he couldn’t find Evolution Potions for an extended period, it could cover for his lack of physical strength.

The game allowed one use of a bounty per month; although he had posted a bounty in the bounty area before, he had not traded.

Reopening the game panel, he first entered a message he had posted before, "A method to reach the external district of the game without needing a Return Ticket."

The game’s feedback was swift: [The trading platform can provide detailed information about this transaction, including Tickets and Admission Tickets. The total amount required is two hundred thousand White Notes. Would the player like to proceed with the trade?]

So it was a bundled sale, no wonder a single piece of information was so expensive.

However, he didn’t plan to waste his bounty trade on this message, firstly because the message wasn’t that urgent, and secondly, because the specific method the game provided would likely cost far more than two hundred thousand White Notes, which he could not afford at the moment.

After deleting the content, he re-posted a bounty about Super Evolution.

[The bounty platform can provide an accurate definition of Super Evolution and five speculative pieces of information on the methods of evolution. The minimum transaction amount is fifty thousand White Notes. Would the player like to proceed with the trade?]

Xu Huo chose to trade.

[A qualitative change in Evolvers when their bodies evolve to a certain stage, which can manifest in two categories, one is self-control and the other is object control.]

[Self-control primarily affects the human body itself, by controlling genes to change physical attributes, typically allowing free control over skin, muscles, bones size, thus altering height, appearance, and skin tone. Continuous evolution can modify internal elements, producing toxins or antitoxins within a short time, or healing diseases and repairing organs.]

[Object control is achieved through resonance between the human body and a certain object, which can be specific to individual elements, enabling the movement, synthesis, destruction of objects but not changing the objects’ essential nature.]

In other words, it’s about freely controlling one’s body and controlling other things, being able to do some unbelievable things without relying on items, more akin to superpowers.

Is the ultimate form of evolution a superpower?

Xu Huo paused and then opened the methods of evolution, provided by other players.

[Player Rong Ren Zhi Liang: Ingest large amounts of Evolution Potions, forcing the body to metabolize them. There is a one in ten million chance of success. Note: This method has a high mortality rate.]

[Player Dissatisfied: Interfere with wormhole fissures. Evolution is closely linked to the appearance of wormholes. Close your eyes and jump in; coming out alive means victory.]

[Player I Live Next Door to You: Push your body to extremes in training; quantity changes can lead to qualitative changes. Tested by a friend, little brother evolved a second time.]

[Player Shen Yuan: Enter a Super Player combat blockade site.]

[Player Kou Kou: Get wounded by spatial elements or temporal elements.]

The fifty thousand White Notes were somewhat wasted.

All five extreme methods were hard to verify, and even if external conditions were met, the concrete procedures for the players were unclear, and success rates couldn’t be predicted. Three of the five messages exceeded his current Player Level, and even if possible, the risks were exceptionally high.

If even the messages provided by the game might not be correct, then these vague, high-risk pieces of information were even less reliable. And even if someone succeeded, the methods would be hard to replicate.

At that moment, the game popped up a notification:

[According to the player’s item information, you have five items that can be replaced or combined for upgrading.]

[① "Silent Coin" and "Silent Figurine" can be upgraded into one Level D Item.]

[② "Super Running Shoes" and "Lumberjack Rubber Shoes" and "Sturdy Kneepads" can be upgraded into one Level D Item.]

Xu Huo focused his gaze and chose the latter.

[Congratulations, player Xu Huo on obtaining Level D Item "Heavy Steps".]

["Every step in life is important and should be taken with weight." A saying from Carmen Field, known as "Morning Star," a motto embraced by an Artifact Maker from Eye of Platinum, who made a pair of short boots that doubled in weight, a reminder to themselves to be down-to-earth.]

[Note: Perfect footwear that’s fireproof, waterproof, bug-proof, and poison-proof. Its only flaw is its weight, but of course, thanks to its special material, ordinary swords and blades can’t pierce through it.]

Weight wasn’t an issue for Xu Huo, as his leg strength had evolved far beyond that of the average Evolver due to his traits. However, after the upgrade, the acceleration effect of the "Super Running Shoes" was gone. Speed boosts were quite useful at critical times, which was quite unfortunate.

Closing the game panel, he lay down on the bed and recalled the two familiar names mentioned in the description: Carmen Field and Eye of Platinum.
