Apocalypse: System of lotteries

Chapter 296 Cat Fist Gauntlet Blueprint

Upon leaving the fog, Ming wiped the sweat off his forehead. It wasn't cold sweat.

He was truly exhausted. How could he not be tired after dealing with two epic-level creatures?

What he didn't understand was why these two monsters inside didn't attack each other when they encountered each other. It was not the same as what Kubo saw in the square.

At that time, the Eyeless Monster killed the big cat, which proves that the monsters in the fog would still attack each other. But why didn't these two fight?

Could it be that monsters also have factions?

Or is it that after they saw him, they had a priority to attack, and in their eyes, humans were the ones to be killed first?

"Eh? I haven't finished seeing the talent of the Eyeless Monster.

"Let's go in again!"

Ming changed his position and rushed into the fog.

Inside the fog, the Eyeless Monster and the Four-Armed Vashak were still keeping their distance, each turning around to leave.

At this moment, not far behind them, that man's voice sounded again: "Hey~ I'm back! Aren't you two happy?"

The two monsters stopped at the same time and turned to face the man. They made no sound, just watching as the man looked them up and down before exiting the fog again.

As he was leaving, he left a sentence: "I've already seen everything about you. Next time, perhaps you'll come home with me~"

"..."

Outside the fog.

Ming sat in the co-pilot's seat of the car, leaning on the seat to rest. Kubo, who had returned in glory, became the dedicated driver.

Kubo, with his exceptional driving skills and luck, should develop into a professional driver in the future.

To exchange Kubo for experience points? That was impossible.

As for the two monsters in the fog, Ming wasn't in a hurry. They would eventually be part of the same family, what was the hurry?

There would be plenty of opportunities to play slowly in the future.

The only pity was that he didn't get any money from those two monsters this time. They didn't give him the opportunity, he was still too weak and needed to become stronger.

When Ming got home, he sat on the sofa to reorganize his plans. Merlin hopped onto his leg and climbed onto his neck.

[Merlin wanted to tell you that it did something great today. It combined the antlion poison with the rattlesnake poison and added the poisonous mushrooms and pufferfish toxins it had eaten to create a perfect blend. The combination of the four poisons was unimaginably wonderful~]

"Wonderful?"

Ming laughed, it seemed only Merlin thought so.

Then he tapped Merlin's head, "Come on, I can still take it~"

[Merlin rubbed against your neck and gave it a kiss, quickly jumping off the sofa. It looked at you crying and laughing on the sofa, foaming at the mouth and shaking violently, then turned to look at Da Vinci and Foodie. Did you see that? It's not that poisonous, it's your turn now~]

[Da Vinci and Foodie looked at each other, turned to run, but were pushed in front of Merlin by Little Bear... Merlin told them, don't look like you're going to die, be happy~ ~]

[After being petted by Merlin, your Da Vinci and Foodie trembled uncontrollably on the ground. Merlin told Little Bear, did you see? I told you they would become spinning tops, isn't it fun? Little Bear nodded and pointed to Sol hiding in the door crack~]

[Merlin glanced disdainfully, thinking that you believe I would touch you~ Don't flatter yourself~ Sol flipped onto its back, thinking Merlin's mouth is even more poisonous~]

After an unknown amount of time, Ming woke up from his sleep. It was already past seven in the evening. He still felt dizzy and weak.

The after-effects of today's poison were quite significant, but his poison resistance had taken another step up.

This...indeed, as Merlin had said, was a very 'wonderful' thing.

"He had intended to cook dinner himself today, yet it seemed that the chef would be required to work overtime once again. It stirred a sense of guilt within him, for after all, it was rather costly to have the chef prepare the meal."

Ming sat at the doorstep of his home, listening to the sound of the acid rain falling outside, while meticulously studying the Eyeless Monster Auleus and Four-Armed Vashak. 

"Dark Elemental Ear - Chaotic Auleus"

"One-Star Epic Level Boss"

"Dark Defense: 120,000/120,000"

"Vitality: 2,500"

"Strength: 2,300"

"Agility: 2,100"

"Spirit: 2,200"

"Skills:

"Toxic Silk Web, Body Fragrance Confusion"

"Devouring Giant Mouth, Seductive Long Hair"

"Talents:

"Penetrating Deadly Attacks, Immune to Dizziness"

"Immune to Poison Illusions, Limb Regeneration"

"Immune to Dark Attacks, Reduced Elemental Damage"

"Mutated Talents:"

"Owl's Hearing, Stinkbug's Aroma"

"Spider's Web, Centipede's Toxin"

"Ant's Strength, Tiger Beetle's Speed"

"Evolution in Progress..."

"..."

"Weakness: Someday, you will surpass it, but not now."

"Hiss~"

Twelve talents, six basic talents, and six mutated talents, which are four talents more than the Four-Armed Vashak.

But on the scale, it is still a one-star epic, probably because its battle power is insufficient to advance to two-star.

How formidable a two-star epic be?

"Too weak~"

Ming glanced at his own attributes. Apart from having more skills, he seemed to fall short compared to them.

He had indeed obtained a talent called "Suicidal Bomb: Ascend Together" from defeating monsters, but it was completely useless. Surely he couldn't, when losing a battle, strip off his clothes and declare he'd kill himself and the opponent?

Ming took another detailed look at the Four-Armed Vashak's attributes, skills, and talents. Compared to Auleus' insectoid talents, it was of the same type as Lauer, with mutated talents primarily derived from mammals.

"How can I become stronger?"

He pondered, rubbing his nose. For poison, he had Merlin. He could be certain that in the not-too-distant future, he could become immune to any toxins.

Basic attributes, he couldn't always rely on the 'diamond' left hand, for it was uncontrollable.

To become stronger, he must find other ways.

Subsequently, he pulled out the golden card that Kubo had brought back today:

"Dark. Swift. Heavy Cat Fist Gauntlet Blueprint"

"Durability 1000/1000"

"Vitality +20"

"Strength +100"

"Agility +80"

"Spirit +20"

"Gem Slot"

"Exclusive Property: Upon wearing, hand speed increases by 10%"

"Exclusive Property: Sharp Claws, during combat, sharp cat claws can extend, consuming 5 spirit units and 5 psychic energy units per second"

"Exclusive Property: In normal attacks, there's a 5% probability to trigger a defense-ignoring heavy strike, inflicting double the damage of strength"

"Exclusive Property: Dark attribute, double damage against the Light attribute, halved damage against the Five Elements"

"Synthesis Requirements:

"Precious Metal 500, Psychic Energy 500, Boss Soul Crystal and Essence *30, Dark Element Stone 100, Gold Coins 10,000"

"Quite the gem, this~"

Ming, with a smile, carefully stowed away the blueprint. He reclined on his bed, recollecting the shock the epic-level Four-Armed Auleus brought him today.

To tackle it, he must employ light-based weapons and skills for effective combat. Presently, he did not possess such, but the gem slot, he presumed, could be inlaid with light-related gems.

"Right~"

Ming suddenly remembered. If Alia successfully became an angel, would her skills, among other things, be of light?

Alia, you must do your best too~
