Chapter 41 Changes in Mindset
Zhang Jie kept talking:
"The vampires here at the main god's place have been strengthened, and they no longer have the weaknesses that used to be suppressed."
"Plus, there are all sorts of horror movies, so you definitely have to choose the one with the strongest survival ability!"
"Vampires are not only good at surviving, but they are also quite powerful in combat."
After saying that, Zhang Jie looked at Geralt and said:
"You agree, right?"
Geralt thought for a moment and said:
"I don't know much about internal energy cultivation, but in my world, vampires are indeed very resilient and difficult to kill."
At this point, Geralt hesitated for a moment, then continued:
"I have a friend who is a high-ranking vampire. In one battle, he was burned to ashes by the enemy, but he was eventually resurrected by his own kind."
Hearing Geralt say the same thing, Zheng Zha's bias became clear.
Therefore, Zheng Zha contacted the chief deity and said:
"God, I want to enhance the mutated bloodline of the vampire baron."
The mechanical yet majestic voice of the supreme deity echoed in Zheng Zha's mind:
"Would you like to spend 1 D-level side quest? Reward: 800 points?"
Just as Zheng Zha was about to reply to the main god to confirm, he suddenly remembered what Geralt had said before: the T-virus that Zhan Lan and the others had enhanced could also enhance another bloodline.
So Zheng Zha asked the chief god:
"God, can I enhance both vampire and qi cultivation simultaneously?"
After a few seconds of silence, the main god replied:
"Yes, but internal energy and vampire energy will clash, so the reincarnator needs to consider this carefully!"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha immediately began to ponder:
"The main god says here that internal energy is the energy generated between the meridians of the human body and will be stored in the lower abdomen."
"Vampire energy, on the other hand, is stored in the blood core in the brain; the two are not located in the same place."
"Besides, I can just not use them at the same time."
With this in mind, Zheng Zha suddenly felt that the road ahead was clear. Wouldn't he be invincible with his melee martial arts and ranged vampire magic?
Therefore, Zheng Zha no longer hesitated and directly contacted the main god to confirm that he would simultaneously enhance the mutated bloodline of the vampire baron and the low-level qigong.
It cost a total of 2 D-level side quests, with a reward of 1300 points.
After Zheng Zha finished his enhancement, Geralt keenly noticed that Zheng Zha had acquired an eerie aura.
Zheng Zha didn't pay attention to what others were doing; instead, he was curiously experiencing the changes in his own body.
"My tummy feels warm inside, like I have a heat pack on it."
"My head feels itchy, like something is stirring inside me; it must be the blood core!"
At this moment, Li Xiaoyi shouted:
"Brother Zheng Zha, open your mouth and let me see."
Zheng Zha came to his senses upon hearing the shout, and looked at Li Xiaoyi, who had a curious expression, and opened his mouth helplessly.
Li Xiaoyi said with some disappointment:
"Brother Zheng Zha, you haven't changed much, except that you've gotten a bit fairer."
Zhang Jie, who was standing next to him, chimed in:
"What kind of change do you want to see? Should we give Zheng Zha a pair of bat wings on his back?"
Zheng Zha thought about himself, carrying a pair of bat wings on his back every day, and suddenly felt a little disgusted, saying:
"I don't want that. If I have wings growing from my back, I won't be able to lie flat on my back when I sleep."
Zhan Lan, who was standing next to him, smiled and chimed in:
"Then why don't you just sleep face down?"
Zheng Zha smiled, then changed the subject and said:
"Oh right, I forgot to tell you, I not only had the main god enhance my vampire bloodline, but I also enhanced my low-level qi cultivation at the same time."
At this point, Zheng Zha proudly boasted:
"I now possess internal energy as well."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyi immediately asked curiously:
"Really?"
"Brother Zheng Zha, what martial arts skills do you know now?"
Zheng Zha listened and explained:
"I don't know martial arts, but I've strengthened my internal energy. The main god only taught me a simple way to practice."
"According to the main god, after one's internal energy is exhausted, one can restore it by following this cultivation route."
At this moment, Zhang Jie interjected:
"The skills here from the main god are not given to you for free; you need to complete additional side quests to strengthen them."
Geralt then asked Zheng Zha:
"When you were enhancing your abilities, did the main god inform you of the risks involved in enhancing them simultaneously?"
Zheng Zha was taken aback for a moment, then said:
"They did say that, but the Supreme God said that my vampire energy and inner strength would clash."
"But since the main god is there to repair it, it's not a big deal if it fails. Besides, I can just not use these two energies at the same time."
Gerald nodded, indicating that he understood.
Zhan Lan then looked at Geralt and asked curiously:
"Geralt, you had the highest return in the last round. Have you decided what to upgrade?"
"Will you continue to strengthen your Witcher bloodline?"
Geralt shook his head slightly and said:
"The main god doesn't have any further enhancements for the Witcher, so I'm going to enhance the Ancient Blood."
After listening, Zhan Lan thought about it carefully and asked somewhat uncertainly:
"Is the ancient blood Ciri's bloodline?"
Upon hearing the familiar name, Geralt was momentarily stunned, then said in a deep voice:
"Yes, I don't know much about other enhancements, but in my world, Ancient Blood is the strongest one I know."
"Moreover, I also really need the abilities of this bloodline."
After Geralt finished speaking, the others also went to the Supreme God to check the information about the enhancements of the Ancient Blood. Someone said...
"This bloodline is incredibly powerful; when enhanced to its maximum, it can even traverse time and space."
"If that happens, Geralt will be able to go to whichever world he wants."
Zheng Zha said with some emotion.
Li Xiaoyi echoed enviously:
"The ability to freely traverse the world—that's a power only gods possess!"
Zhang Jie couldn't help but pour cold water on the situation, saying:
"Do you think this is a children's game for the Lord God?"
"Forget about S-rank side quests, I haven't even seen an A-rank side quest yet."
Upon hearing this, Zhan Lan tried to smooth things over by saying:
"Alright, let's focus on surviving the next horror movie first. Such a high-level exchange is beyond our reach right now."
For a moment, the atmosphere among the group became somewhat somber, and both Li Xiaoyi and Zhu Peng felt dejected.
Zheng Zha's heart was also somewhat shaken; could he really keep living?
At this moment, Geralt, seeing the low morale, said:
"Cheer up! If you're already doubting yourselves before the battle even begins, you'll probably have a hard time surviving the next horror movie."
"You are not fighting alone!"
Geralt's words were like a sharp sword, piercing through the fog in Zheng Zha's heart:
"Yes, I am not alone. Zhan Lan, Li Xiaoyi, and Zhu Peng have all enhanced their bloodlines."
"We've become much stronger than before, and besides, we still have Geralt with us."
Zheng Zha immediately looked at everyone with great enthusiasm and said:
"That's right. As long as we work together, we can definitely leave here alive."
Li Xiaoyi was the first to respond to Zheng Zha, saying:
"I believe in you and Geralt."
Zhu Peng nodded and said, "Me too."
Zhan Lan, on the other hand, looked at the excited men in front of her with a smile.
Zhang Jie stood there silently, lit another cigarette, and started smoking.
