Doomsday Sacrifice

Chapter 2 Countdown to the Doomsday

If the body is divided into seven parts: head, limbs, torso and..., if you have to give up part of it, which part would you choose to give up?

This is a very serious and brain-burning philosophical problem.

Before being killed by pirates, Li Xun was forced to think about this problem three times a day on average, at least 1234 times.

Every time he thinks seriously, he will first exclude the head, regardless of life and death, almost all sensory organs are on the head, and the most important thing is to keep the appearance.

The torso is naturally not good either, it is the link that connects the various parts of the body, if the torso can be replaced, he does not mind changing it, it is best to replace it with a solid alloy, the kind that does not rust, and saves the trouble of eating and drinking ,readily.

Both hands are also useless, the right hand is used for writing, eating, and grabbing things, and the left hand... well, it is also very useful. I can't do many things without one hand, so I have to keep it.

It seems that he can give up one of his legs. He checked it on the Internet. The current thigh prosthesis is quite good in terms of technology, materials and other aspects. The price is also acceptable, and life is basically not affected. Therefore, this is the most cost-effective solution .

As for that "...", don't even think about it, a man would never give up.

After some careful analysis, without exception, Li Xun came to the conclusion that his left leg should be discarded.

But this is not a simple multiple-choice question, but belongs to the category of philosophy, because he knows what he will lose by giving up a part of his body, but he has no idea what he can gain. Therefore, what he lacks is not courage, but an answer.

The reason why he thought about this philosophical problem repeatedly was because he got a system inexplicably, and it was a sacrificial system.

As long as he is willing, the system interface will appear in front of his eyes in a very technological, mysterious and ordinary way, and of course only he can see it.

Even if he doesn't want to, the system will appear in front of his eyes three times a day, each time lasting 1 minute, like an alarm clock whose regular reminder cannot be completely turned off, and the content is nothing new.

"Sacrifice target: the owner of this system."

"Sacrifice requirements: no less than one-seventh of the body."

"Sacrifice reward: it depends on the sacrifice."

"Explanation: The system divides the human body into seven parts, namely the head, limbs, torso and...".

In the past, every time he saw the system interface, Li Xun would grit his teeth with hatred.

What the hell, speaking of it, he is a systematic person.

Some great gods once said that some systems give money, some give skills, some give beauties, and some give gift packages for beginners, how come he has nothing here?The point is that it doesn't matter if it doesn't exist, but the first thing this so-called sacrificial system requires to be sacrificed is his own body.

It's so outrageous!
When Li Xun got the system for the first time more than a year ago, Li Xun was both surprised and happy. Although the process of getting the system was similar to that of other people, he woke up in a daze on a warm afternoon and got an extra system for no reason. Does not prevent his heart from trembling with excitement.

As long as the system can clearly state the sacrifice rewards, such as [-] million for one leg and [-] million for one arm, he has already sacrificed without hesitation.

However, when he was dying, the first thing he thought of was the system, so he sacrificed himself without hesitation. Anyway, he was dead, and there might be a glimmer of hope if he sacrificed himself.

"At the critical moment, the father of the system is still reliable." When Li Xun opened his eyes and saw the light again, he couldn't help admiring in his heart.

I didn't feel pain, didn't feel hurt, and didn't feel blood on the ground. The system didn't even let go of the blood flowing out of the body, and the sacrifice was really thorough.

Li Xun got up from the ground, looked around to confirm his safety, and couldn't wait to check the reward after sacrificing himself.

"System, I want to check the sacrifice rewards." Li Xun said silently in his heart.

"Okay, the host's first sacrifice has been overfulfilled. The sacrifice rewards are as follows: Reward [-], reshape the body, reward [-], activate the DNA chain, reward [-], the system evolves to the second level."

The first and third rewards are simple and clear. Although the system took advantage of him and he sacrificed himself, the system has evolved to the second level, but the remodeling of the body alone is worth the price of admission.

But what the hell is the second reward?

"System, what do you mean by activating the DNA chain?" Li Xun found that the system was obviously smarter than the previous one that only reminded you regularly, so he asked decisively if he didn't understand.

"The DNA chain is the way humans evolve. At present, humans have not mastered the DNA chain evolution method. The most fundamental reason restricting evolution is that the DNA chain has not been activated. Now the host's DNA chain has been fully activated, which is equivalent to opening the door to evolution. It can evolve by absorbing energy."

Li Xun's eyes lit up: "Absorb energy to evolve? What energy?"

"All energy is fine, such as energy obtained from food digestion, solar energy, electrical energy, dark energy, etc., provided that it can be absorbed by the human body."

At first Li Xun was quite happy, but after hearing that, his heart immediately turned cold. Except for food digestion, it seems that other energy cannot be directly absorbed by the human body. Does evolution depend on eating?
"System, can energy like solar energy and dark energy be absorbed by the human body?"

"These energies cannot be directly absorbed by the body."

"Then how to evolve, relying on digestion and absorption?"

"The digestion and absorption efficiency is extremely low, and this method is not recommended. There is a kind of energy called 'extreme energy' that can be directly absorbed."

"Extremely capable? I've never heard of it."

"Extreme energy does not exist in this universe, but after 32 hours, 38 minutes and 15 seconds, a miniature wormhole will appear on the blue star, and then there will be extreme energy." While the system was explaining, above Li Xun's line of sight A countdown timer appeared, he would see it as soon as he looked up, and he couldn't turn it off.

"Miniature wormholes will appear in more than 30 hours?" Li Xun was taken aback, and then felt bad, "Fuck, there will be miniature wormholes in more than 30 hours! System, don't tell me Something else came up."

"Unfortunately, there are also extreme beasts that appear with extreme energy."

Li Xun felt that this routine was quite familiar, "Isn't extreme beast a good thing? Tell me more specifically."

"The polar beasts are locusts in the universe, and no grass grows wherever they go. To put it simply, we must kill all the polar beasts and close the wormholes, or all the creatures on the blue star will be extinct." The system narrated in a calm voice Scariest thing ever.

"Hiss..." Li Xun gasped, "You mean race war?"

"Yes, for the current Blue Star, the arrival of the polar beast means the end of the world."

"..."

Li Xun was in a daze for a moment, and his mind was showing signs of crashing. His encounters this day were too unreal. First, he met a pirate and was killed, and then sacrificed himself to be reborn. He had just activated the evolution channel, and was told the end of the world. It's almost here, would you believe it if it was told?
At this moment, his mind was very confused, and at the same time, a terrible sense of hunger came suddenly, as if he had been hungry for three days and three nights without a drop of water, and he was dizzy for a while.

Li Xun didn't want to think about it, so he hurriedly found the food and water stored in the safety cabin. He ate seven canned beef in a row and drank three bottles of water before he felt better.

After belching, Li Xun continued to ask the system for more information.

"System, how powerful is the extreme beast? Describe it in detail."

"Lack of a proper reference object, insufficient data, unable to describe, please perform a sacrifice to obtain more energy and data."

"???"

Li Xun was speechless. He forgot that the system would only work if fed. He could only check the system's new sacrifice requirements first.

Exhaling the system interface, he found that the system had changed a lot after it evolved to the second stage.

The original sacrifice interface was extremely simple, but now it is divided into two parts, one part is the same as before, with clear sacrifice requirements.

"Sacrifice target: low-level extreme beast."

"Sacrifice requirements: no less than one-fifth of a complete low-level polar beast."

"Sacrifice reward: at least 1000 energy points, other rewards depend on the sacrifice."

"Explanation: Extra rewards can be obtained for living and complete polar beasts, but polar beasts are extremely dangerous, so you must do what you can."

In addition, there is an additional free sacrifice.

"Sacrifice target: none."

"Sacrifice requirements: none."

"Sacrifice reward: it depends on the sacrifice."

"Sacrifice consumption: at least 10 energy points, depending on the sacrifice."

"Description: Scan the sacrificial item to obtain specific information. Scanning once consumes 1 point of energy, and the sacrifice cannot be performed when the energy is exhausted. Please use it with caution. The energy restores 1 point every day."

In addition, there is an energy value at the bottom left of the interface, showing 361 points of remaining energy, and a countdown at the bottom right. The red number beats every second, stimulating Li Xun's fragile nerves at the moment.

There are only 32 hours, 32 minutes and 08 seconds left until the end of the world.
