After Genderswap Reincarnation, I Raised the Strongest Player - Chapter 45

Ling Mo, who had practiced his abilities for half the night, suddenly discovered a piece of gratifying news——

He had a breakthrough in his abilities.

The items that can be realized are basically small objects with little use, there’s only one brick that can be found as a weapon in a garbage dump. However, his dream of being The Brickman has not had time to start,¹ because the list of items has suddenly expanded.

Moreover, all the newly manifestable items are useful things, such as daggers, knives, and even a series of cold weapons such as katanas, which successfully changed his basic potential from infinite bricks to infinite swords system.²

Could it be because of his half-night training?

If it really only takes half a night of high-intensity training to unlock new skills, then this way of improving abilities is too simple.

However, after trying to materialize the new props a few times, he discovered that there was a big problem.

New items can be materialized, but the difficulty of it is completely incomparable with bricks. He can manifest a brick in three seconds, and the consumption is almost zero, giving him the feeling of taking a very ordinary step. However, if he wanted to manifest a dagger, it would take him at least half a minute to fully manifest, and the consumption was very obvious, just like a 100-meter sprint without warming up.

For the first time, he discovered that this ability also has a fitness effect.

It’s a pity that it’s just an effect in the game. If it can be brought to reality, it would be heaven defying.

…Tsk, if it can really be brought into reality, these little scraps wouldn’t be too helpful.

Overall, it’s good news, which means that his combat effectiveness has been improved again.

But while he was fiddling with the dagger that appeared, a figure suddenly appeared on the second floor, getting his attention.

At this time, it was almost dawn, and there were still only dim corridor lights between the corridors. The person who came was the passerby NPC who had been rescued by them before, but his expression was not very good now.

“You… Hello.”

Seeing the dagger in Ling Mo’s hand, the man’s face became a little more hesitant.

“I… I want to ask you guys what to do, what are your plans for the future?”

“Huh?”

Ling Mo looked him up and down, his skin was still normal, which made him let his vigilance down.

“Take one step at a time, we don’t have any plans for now.”

“But just staying here is not an option. The food here will be exhausted sooner or later.”

The man was a little worried.

Yesterday they found food in the kitchen on the first floor of the hotel. The stock was not large, and it was too few to distribute to all of them, not to mention that he did not belong to this group in the first place. It was Ling Mo who kindly gave him a small portion of food, otherwise he would probably be hungry all night.

But it’s a problem to just stay like this, the food will be eaten up in a few days, and then they’ll be hungry.

“Let’s talk about this later, maybe there will be a turning point at that time?”

Ling Mo didn’t care much.

“There’s such a big thing happening in the city, people outside can’t just sit back and watch.”

——This must be the case in reality, no, it should be said that such a large-scale disaster cannot occur in reality, the power of the state can kill any obvious signs of catastrophe before even happening.³

Too bad this is in the game, So who can tell what would really happen in reality? Among other things, they saw so many explosion-proof cars going out of the police station yesterday, and they seemed to evaporate out of thin air. They didn’t see any police cars on the street, nor did they see any policemen.

Perhaps this city became isolated after the disaster began—— after all, this city is essentially just a dungeon challenge provided to a group of players.

Only this NPC doesn’t know.

So Ling Mo felt quite strange.

If the NPCs in the dungeon all paid attention to basic logic like they did in the first dungeon, it wouldn’t make much sense, but the NPC in front of him felt more like a living person.

A desperate survivor in the face of apocalypse.

And doomed waiting for hope.

But in this environment, He’s not worried about death at all, at most he is only a little worried about whether they can clear this dungeon smoothly.

The thinking brought about by these huge differences soon involved the scope of philosophy.

He couldn’t say what answer he had, he just thought it was very subtle.

It’s just a stage of the game… Is it really necessary for the NPC to set up this kind of behavior and thinking logic like a real person?

“I… I’m very afraid do.”

The man didn’t know what he was thinking, maybe it was Ling Mo’s friendly attitude that made him put down his guard a little bit.

“I called before do, and all the calls to the police aren’t responding, I don’t know if you guys have tried do… And there is no police car on the street, I wonder where they all went? Did they run away?”

“I don’t know about that.”

Ling Mo shook his head.

“But I guess there will be some kind of rescue measures if such a big incident happened in the city, and we’ll just have to play by ear.”⁴

Otherwise, how would they clear the dungeon, right?

“There will really be rescue measures?”

The man was dubious.

Ling Mo shrugged.

“Just take it for granted, it’ll make you feel better.”

After a pause, he turned his head and asked.

“By the way, I’m curious, what ‘do’ means?”

“Huh?”

The man was taken aback.

“What do? I don’t know what do…”

Then there was another pause.

“I don’t… Do… I don’t want to say this… Do… How do…”

It seems that after being awakened by Ling Mo, he fell into a strange state. The man’s expression gradually became distorted, as if he was trying his best to prevent himself from saying the the word, but he couldn’t help spitting out one by one. In the end, he started only saying “dodododo”—— the same howl as those charging madmen out there.

At the same time, his skin also began to turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and within a few seconds he turned into the appearance of an infected person.

No, he’s infected.

Ling Mo: “…”

Seems to be having a good time.

Realizing this, he abruptly got up from his chair and kicked the door of the fat man next to him.

“Everyone get up! Something happened!”

After yelling this sentence, he immediately took a few steps back to keep a safe distance, drew out the pistol on his waist and aimed at the man, and said in a deep voice, “Are you okay? Take two steps back if you are not infected!”

“Do——!”

The man uttered an extremely high-pitched syllable, then suddenly turned around and looked at Ling Mo, his expression was exactly the same as that of the red-faced woman he had seen before, and the desire to attack that was almost overflowing in his eyes made clear to no doubt his danger.

However, as the person who was chatting normally just a minute ago, Ling Mo really couldn’t kill him that easily.

“Wake up brother! If you can get out of here alive, you will be the most beautiful guy in this city, don’t fall before dawn, brother!”

“What? Who’s the pretty guy?”

The fat man opened the door sloppily at this time, obviously got up in a hurry by Ling Mo’s movement, with a somewhat dazed expression on his face.

Then he instantly became the man’s target—— because the distance was closer.

The man let out a “do” roar, and then a rocket headbutt hit the fat man’s waist.

It’s a pity that it didn’t move again.
