Black Book

Chapter 97: Pupa
Zhu Haomiao: “…………”

I'd choose the second one, it doesn't sound that bad...

"So how do I achieve the second kind of enlightenment? For example, my [Layer Power] is stuck in a bottleneck. What kind of natural phenomenon should I observe to gain inspiration?"

Hearing this, Li Cang looked at Zhu Haomiao with a strange expression.

"Is there any need to ask? Stack the waves, stack the waves, let's go see the sea!"

Zhu Haomiao: “…………”

What you said makes a lot of sense, why didn't I react? !

"If there is no sea, watching the waves of the Great Lakes will do."

"If you really don't have the conditions, you can just put a basin of bath water and soak in it and stir the water around."

"I had the breakthrough while taking a bath."

Zhu Haomiao: “…………”

Bath breakthrough, such a niche word...

"In fact, when you hit a bottleneck, it means that you have accumulated enough hardware and all you lack is a little inspiration."

“As long as you have a certain level of understanding and a pair of observant eyes, you can easily grasp the key of inspiration that opens the door.”

"Like the apple that fell on Newton's head."

Listening to Li Cang's narration, Zhu Haomiao suddenly felt an urge to try it out.

I am so strong now, please give me a bath water!

..........................................

Twenty virtual days later, Fantasy Realm
Looking at his skin that had become swollen and white from soaking in the bathtub, Zhu Haomiao thought seriously and analyzed carefully, then fell into deep thought while lying in the bathtub.

Where’s the epiphany I promised myself during bathing?

What went wrong?

Is it because my shower posture is wrong?
Subconsciously stirring the bath water and looking at the layers of water splashes, Zhu Haomiao did not realize any truth from it. He just felt like a naughty child who had not grown up.

After a long period of self-examination and excluding all possible factors, Zhu Haomiao made a desperate discovery...

I am the idiot?!

It's okay to have a bad destiny, but is your understanding also so bad?
Am I really a little bitch?
No, we should not underestimate ourselves. The best object for observation of [Dielangjin] should be the rough sea!

Things like playing with bath water breakthroughs are simply not reliable!

That's right!

It's not that I have a problem!

There’s something wrong with the way Li Cang taught!

The blame was assigned in an instant. Zhu Haomiao cheered up, put on his clothes and ran straight to the beach. After enjoying the sea breeze at the pier in Magic City for an afternoon, he fell into silence again.

Is Li Cang fooling me?

Why don’t I feel anything after watching it for so long?

It wasn't until the sunset fell into the horizon that the sluggish boy came back to his senses. His unfocused pupils condensed slightly, and suddenly a light bulb went off in his head. Something was wrong!
With my extraordinary talent, why should I be bound by "mortal wisdom"?

Li Cang is just a reckless man who is willing to sacrifice his life for his own good. What the hell does he know about making a breakthrough?
[The Book of Black]!
Give me more!

He raised his hand and grabbed it, and the dark and heavy book instantly appeared in the boy's palm.

In response to Zhu Haomiao's will, the [Black Book] automatically unfolded to a special page without wind.

【lazy】!
His eyes moved slightly, and a mysterious feeling flowed into his heart. Zhu Haomiao seemed to understand something and widened his eyes in surprise.

Good guy!
I just said it casually, but there is actually a way to do it?
Since you are so sensible, I won’t mind you taking kickbacks from the Imperial Army!

Looking at the [Book of Black] happily, Zhu Haomiao followed the mysterious induction and activated the power of [Sloth].

The next second, in response to the boy's wish, gray-white silk threads that were invisible to others condensed and emerged from the void little by little. In Zhu Haomiao's astonished eyes, they gradually wrapped around him and turned into a huge cocoon.

At the same time, a martial art recorded in the [Book of Black] emitted a golden light, and a faint seven-colored divine light shot out and merged into the cocoon.

The next second, the cocoon was completely formed. The texture that was originally soft and fragile at the conceptual level slowly solidified and condensed into a metallic evil insect pupa.

Immediately, the pupa shrank, clinging to Zhu Haomiao's skin and then vanished.

Then, the young man felt that a large part of his strength had "melted", mixed with the faint seven-colored divine light, and settled and condensed deep into his soul and flesh.

Clenching his fists, Zhu Haomiao felt a strong sense of weakness. His six-dimensional attributes were greatly weakened, and he "disappeared" along with the insect pupa.

wrong!

It is not disappearing, but like a caterpillar that is spinning a cocoon and becoming a pupa, it is shrinking and hiding deep within the soul and flesh, undergoing some mysterious transformation at a conceptual level!
It took a long time for Zhu Haomiao to adapt to the sudden weakness. He carefully observed himself and found that he was in a strange state.

Although it is not the one-click breakthrough as imagined and it takes time to transform, the speed at which he digests attributes has been greatly improved, which seems to be similar to the state of being in deep sleep.

This means that I may not need to sleep for a long time anymore.

In addition, the wrapping of the insect pupa seemed to weaken his presence from a divine level. If he deliberately hid himself, it would be difficult for extraordinary people with poor perception to discover him!
However... this state is not completely without side effects...

Zhu Haomiao clenched his fists tightly. In addition to the expected weakness, he also felt a fatigue that went deep into his soul.

I'm so tired...I want to sleep...

Zhu Haomiao yawned and shook his head, trying to wake himself up, but the vague tiredness lingered, making him drowsy.

Knowing that this was a side effect of the power of [Sloth], Zhu Haomiao forced himself to be alert, put on his hood, and completely blended into the darkness, disappearing at the dock where the sea breeze was howling.

Dozens of minutes later, a ghostly black figure came to the villa area of ​​the public concession, looking at the strict guards patrolling in the manor not far away, with no blind spots. The lazy pupils hidden in the shadow of the hood gradually dimmed, like a stubborn stone, hiding all brilliance.

At the same time, the mysterious power of laws was like an invisible veil covering the entire body, obscuring the sense of existence and making the inconspicuous figure completely blend into the environment.

The originally strict 360-degree guarding with no blind spots suddenly became full of loopholes. Zhu Haomiao vaguely felt that the detection distance of all the guards against him had been greatly shortened. As long as he was not too close, it would be difficult for ordinary extraordinary people to discover him!

With an epiphany in mind, Zhu Haomiao tried to sneak into the manor, carefully avoiding the patrolling guards and successfully entered the main building.

In the secret room of the main building, Wilson was looking at a pile of photos on the table with a gloomy look, and there was a fierce light flashing in his eyes.

The next second, he inadvertently noticed an abrupt black shadow a few meters away from the corner of his eye. Wilson felt a chill rushing from his tailbone to the top of his head. His hair stood on end, like a big cat with its fur standing on end, with all its hair and beard standing on end.

"who!!!"
