lost narrative poem

Chapter 22

gold!

It turned out to be golden!

This color is set in almost all games with rare and noble quality!Just like the white equipment in most games is a real whiteboard equipment, the gold equipment sounds all kinds of tall.

This is not an absolute rule, but no one can deny that it is almost a conventional cognition, and it can even be said that it has become a subconscious judgment mechanism for many people.

Xia Ran was no exception. After seeing the golden light, he became excited all of a sudden, and his sense of anticipation soared to the highest level in an instant.

only--

What finally appeared in front of his eyes was a strange snake-like thing, only the size of a finger of a normal person, with a blue-gray copper-iron metallic color all over its body, and it was motionless, looking very stiff. .

At first glance, it looks like a sculpture model of some small object.

"...!!"

And Xia Ran felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy. The moment this thing appeared in the air, he jumped up like a conditioned reflex.

He quickly rushed out the door, put on a defensive posture, and fixed his eyes on the sculptured snake-like thing lying motionless on the floor.

It took more than a minute, until he heard footsteps coming from the stairs downstairs, as if someone was about to go upstairs, he just walked back bravely, because the thing seemed to be It's dead and doesn't move.

And in a sense, it is something that has been identified by the white space, so there should be no uncontrollable danger.

The identification information obtained through touch also proved Xia Ran's idea, but he was embarrassed——

"Name: Parasitic Larvae (Special)"

"Category: Equipment"

"Rarity: Bronze"

"Main attributes: Implanting this item in any part of the body can trigger the parasitic mechanism, it will assimilate with the limbs and organs of the part, and grow into a partially parasitic incomplete parasitic beast"

"Warning: If it is implanted into the brain to trigger the parasitic mechanism, it may become a complete parasite, and the host is in danger of death"

"Hint: Incomplete parasites will rely on the nutrients in the host's blood to survive, and no longer have the genetic instinct to eat their own kind."

"Reminder: If the host raises the spiritual attribute to a certain level, it will be able to form an overwhelming advantage over the parasitic beast and gain dominance or control."

"Comment: It is definitely one of the most friendly choices for newcomers. You no longer need to do it yourself, and you can even have no guts and will at all. The parasite will automatically fight for you. From then on, you can hang up with one button, easily push pictures, and completely free your hands. ..."

…………

It is such a thing, a special piece of equipment that is alive in a sense.

It seems to be a strange little snake, it looks very small, coupled with the metallic color, and the rigid and motionless performance, it really looks like a sculpture without any breath of life.

And it's only bronze-level equipment, although it's special, it's really not a big prize, so the previous golden light is just a special effect for opening the box?

——Are you fucking kidding me?

Because according to the most basic information that Xia Ran has, it seems that the white space will distinguish the quality of some equipment and props with special attributes by different levels.

The lowest level is naturally a whiteboard outfit that doesn't even deserve the name of the level. The upper level is black iron level, bronze level, silver level, gold level, etc. It is not clear whether there are higher levels.

So compared to the previous golden light special effects, he now feels that he has been greatly deceived.But the most troublesome thing was that such a special piece of equipment was actually drawn out.

"..."

"..."

Xia Ran stared at the little pocket snake on the floor, and fell into deep thought, although at the beginning, he had comprehensively considered various situations based on his own disadvantages, and came to a conclusion.

A scumbag like him, not to mention a melee battle with a parasitic beast that can be called the strongest creature on earth in this world, even if he is fully prepared, with pistols, rifles, machine guns, he has a good chance of winning against that monster head-on Not high either.

The only way out is to use a righteous style of play and be an old Yinbi.If he didn't still have an impression of the plot, remember that sulfuric acid can make the parasitic beast's body consciousness disunity, and can continue to corrode and cause damage, he might already be on his knees by now.

And at that time, he also felt that the best way is to copy the experience of the protagonist, and borrow the power of the parasitic beast, so that human beings can survive——

Even gaining the power to fight against this monster that seems to be specially used by the earth to clean up human beings.

It's just that there were no conditions at the time, he couldn't find the spores of the parasitic beast, and he wasn't sure whether he could really copy the protagonist's golden finger, so this method was just a thought, and he didn't expect it to be feasible.

But now, this opportunity seems to be in front of him, and it is guaranteed by white space, absolutely safe and reliable—as long as he is not stupid enough to put the hatchling in his head.

However, Xia Ran just stared at the parasitic larva, with an extremely weird and tangled expression, and did not take any action until the hands of the wall clock in the room slowly shifted by more than half a frame.

"Sure enough, in the final analysis, I am just a strong talker. No matter how nice and sensible I say, I start to shrink back when I want to see the truth..."

Smiling wryly and sighing, breaking the dead silence in the room, Xia Ran raised an index finger and rubbed the center of his brows.

He was having a headache, a headache in every sense of the word.

This special piece of equipment may be really powerful, because the parasitic beast can manipulate the cells to deform at will, stretching and twisting like eating a rubber fruit, and it can also instantly change into a particularly hard one, just like steel.

Not to mention the weak and dying weak chicken before, the normal parasitic beast's movements are so fast that the human optic nerve response ability can't catch it at all, and even the afterimage can't be seen.

So Ryoko Tamiya, who pretended to be a teacher, would say that if she wanted to do something, the dozens of students in the class could be killed by her within three seconds... This is a conservative estimate at all.

Moreover, the parasitic beast has a super learning ability, and it doesn't take a few days to master a language, and it needs to master all kinds of daily knowledge to complete it.

They can also monitor various subtle changes in the host's body at any time, and pay attention to repairing various hidden dangers and damages.

It is said that the bodies they manage can easily live to 140 years old. The theoretical limit lifespan of the human body is just a normal lifespan for them. As long as they don’t die due to external forces, they can live to that time easily...

In addition, the current parasitic situation can be chosen by oneself, and it will not be replaced by devouring the brain. It can be said that the disadvantages have been minimized and the benefits have been maximized.

But when this opportunity appeared in front of Xia Ran, he couldn't help but start to shrink back.In all fairness, he felt that he could accept strengthening bloodlines, changing life forms and so on.

But letting a foreign species parasitize in one's body is completely different.

For example, if it is Nero's devil's right arm in "Devil May Cry 4", no matter how hideous it looks and cannot return to normal, Xia Ran will only think it is handsome and strong and will accept it, and there will be absolutely no harm. Repulsive.

However, if one of his arms can maintain normal at ordinary times, and has the power to transform and attack at critical moments, but the arm itself will also have independent consciousness, which can be regarded as a foreign species... it is somewhat unacceptable.

"It's just a hand, it's not considered lost, it's just that I have my own thoughts..."

"And the function of comprehensive repair is very clear. If you don't want it in the future, you can restore it at any time..."

"Use this opportunity to spend the early stage well. If you are timid, you may die in a few days... Really, what right do I have to pick and choose now?"

Talking to himself, Xia Ran is trying to build himself up psychologically, and his rationality is also telling him that he is not qualified to pick and choose now, nor is he qualified to say that he has mastered the power of self-protection.

His strength is not as good as that of ordinary people, his physique is just qualified, and so is his spirit.

Although intelligence and perception are above the level, it is obviously impossible for attributes of this level to be converted into combat power. He does not think that he can cast a few spells now, or master extraordinary powers such as psionic energy and telekinetic power.

Only the value of agility reaching 12 points is more than twice that of a normal person, but it has no decisive strategic significance.

How should I put it, after much deliberation, he has nothing to offer at all.Although the righteous style of play is useful, if you encounter a parasitic beast like Yoshiko Tamiya, who is calm, cruel, and more human than human, acid tactics will be useless.

He would be killed before he could even make a move, or he wouldn't even know how he died.

To be honest, other mechanically rigid parasitic beasts seem to be two species compared with the parasitic beasts like Tamiya Yoshiko.

After Xia Ran finished his psychological construction, he looked at his left hand, and now he still felt a burst of swelling and pain, which was one of the reasons why he made up his mind.

In this dangerous world, he is so insignificant that he is not much special than others, and he should not give up any chance with the luxury.

Now I can't use the repair function, and it's not worth it to exchange some medicines directly from the system.The current resources are already tight, and the points were spent to repair the left hand. While the ability value has not improved, the resources have also decreased.

Coincidentally, the left hand can't be used for the time being, so let's just sacrifice it... Speaking of which, Quan Shinichi's golden finger is the right hand, maybe he can still rub the protagonist's luck.

Thinking of all these things in her mind, Xia Ran went downstairs to ask the owner of the hotel for a knife and a rope, and then went back to the room.

He took a deep breath, and then carefully cut a very shallow wound on his left wrist, blood flowed out quickly.

The moment the parasitic larva touched the blood, it seemed to come alive immediately. It cut open the flesh with its sharp mouthparts, and twisted its slender body to get in.

It didn't feel too painful, but Xia Ran still tied the rope above the left elbow joint, tightly entangled and tightened it - he was learning from Quan Xinyi's method, after all, although he believed in white space, it was inevitable Psychological fear, fear of accidents.

But there was no accident, he just lost the sense of the whole left hand for a very sudden moment in a short period of time, and the nerves below the elbow joint seemed to be cut off all of a sudden .

But before his brain cells could feel any fear or panic, this feeling disappeared again, and the nerve connection seemed to be reconnected.

Moreover, the previous injury from the recoil of the grenade launcher... seems to be gone.
