Chapter 177: Ascension Again
For the Dark Powers, the biggest reason for limiting their evolution is the recovery time of their body. After the first promotion, it takes at least three months to recuperate. The second time takes at least half a year, the third time takes one year, and the fourth time takes one year and a half. As for the fifth level of the Dark Powers, it takes three years to break through to the nightmare level to recover the damage.
To sum up, it will take about five years. For most people, five years is not a very short time, and the failure rate must be considered. Once it fails, the road to evolution will be cut off and there will be no possibility of evolution from then on.
Out of caution, most people will extend their promotion time and restore their bodies to their peak state to reach a higher level. It is conceivable how many people in the human kingdom will be stuck in this level.
As for the realm above the realm of the dark strong man, the number of people is even smaller.
After Li Zhong ordered the potions and various good wines, he began to wander around the virtual world to relax his nervous spirit.
Martial arts practice is moderate and relaxed. Now he has just undergone high-intensity training, and it is the time to relax.
Walking in the virtual world and feeling the "warm" sunshine in the sky, Li Zhong couldn't help but sigh: "It's such a powerful technological power. It can actually make the body feel warm through the virtual sunshine. It's incredible."
People who have not experienced it personally will never imagine the power of the virtual world. It is simply a technology that cannot be achieved by technology in the 21st century, at least hundreds of years ahead.
At this time, on the virtual street, people from all cities were feeling the magic of the virtual world, both walking and talking. There were also many people sitting there constantly clicking on the screen in front of them, and some even talked and laughed at the screen, as if they were contacting others through the chat platform.
Li Zhong walked slowly along the street and soon arrived at a huge group of villages. There were crowds of people here, and countless people gathered here, not knowing what they were doing.
A trace of curiosity flashed in Li Zhong's eyes, he strode up and looked inside from the crowd.
Countless people were queuing up, and Li Zhong was not good at jumping in line. He patted a child in front of him on the shoulder, which attracted his attention.
The child was photographed by someone and turned around. He opened his big eyes and blinked, with a look of innocence flashing in his eyes.
This child is about ten years old and is a young master. He is probably the new generation of a family in a mobile city.
Xiaozheng said to Li Zhong in a silence: "What are you doing when you are photographing me?"
Looking at the little guy and talking on a very surprising dialect, Li Zhong was stunned at first, and then smiled and said, "Uncle asked you something, what are so many people doing here?"
A hint of excitement flashed in Xiao Zhengtai's eyes and she shouted: "You don't know, I know it. It has spread throughout the virtual world now. This is a newly invented game by the Alkin Business Association. It is said that it has moved a game from the Light Age here. We are all buying tickets to play."
When Li Zhong heard this, he was stunned at first, then his expression was shaking: "Alkin Business Association, the games of the Light Age, and the real things have been moved into the virtual world."
Threat, Li Zhong immediately felt the arrival of the threat, and immediately knew that the momentum of "Dark Age" he created was going to disappear. Although he registered the "virtual game concept" in the Patent Office, the patent period was only three years, and he was not even a little different from these major business associations. His power and technical reserves were very different. He relied solely on the technological support of the Academy City. As time goes by, the people who were eliminated in "Dark Age" may gradually increase. If he loses the support of crystal coins, his own path is difficult to walk. God knows how many crystal coins he needs to pave the way for his martial arts in the future.
Thinking of this, Li Zhong couldn't help but look gloomy.
The little boy opened his eyes wide and looked at Li Zhong and said, "Hey, uncle, what are you doing? Have you listened to me? His face was gloomy. You can't be a stranger."
When Li Zhong heard Xiao Zhengtai’s complaint, he came to his senses and looked down at Xiao Zhengtai, laughing and crying: “I’m not a weirdo. I’m listening to you. Then you can tell me what game is in the Light Age.”
When Xiao Zhengtai heard this, he immediately said with a smile: "It's a racing car. Everyone can participate in the racing car and enjoy the unparalleled speed feeling. It's the same as it is. There is no chance to rush around in the city, which is so exciting."
"Do you know, I tried it once, it's amazing. I won the first place in the competition and threw all the adults behind me. It's amazing, ah hahaha."
Seeing Xiao Zhengta suddenly transform into an arrogant little brat, Li Zhong couldn't help but roll his eyes and said to himself: "Sure enough, these children are all the best."
Li Zhong nodded and said, "Oh, that's it, then I'll try it too. By the way, what's going on in this game? I see so many people participating, so they won't all participate in the game."
The little boy looked at Li Zhong with a contempt, and said in a horrible tone: "I don't know this, I'm really a rustic guy. Since you asked, I'll tell you with mercy."
After saying that, he put his hands on his hips and said to the sky: "Listen, this game is one game every day, divided into sixty-four games, adopting the elimination system, sixty-four to thirty-two, thirty-two to 16, and finally to the final."
"Every time the competition is limited to how many people can advance, and the final winner of the championship, runner-up and third place can receive a certain degree of reward. These ticket buyers come to watch the competition, and some participate in underground gambling. Haha, I know."
Speaking of this, the child looked at Li Zhong with contempt, and then walked towards the huge building in front of him with eight-character steps.
Looking at the disappearing little brat, Li Zhong shook his head, then his eyes flashed with deep light, and he said in his mind: "This is simply a copy of the world racing competition in the previous life. It seems that I have to come up with something new, otherwise my wealth will soon be spent on "Dark Ages" alone."
Li Zhong is not an exaggeration. Airacan, Tom and Rick all require a lot of potions, medicinal materials and dark beasts. Their evolution has begun to follow Li Zhong's training, and the energy consumption is very serious. Especially after entering the realm of the Dark Power, Li Zhong consumes food ingredients even more terrifyingly. He consumes at least hundreds of kilograms of the second-stage dark beast's essence every day. If he reaches the realm of the Dark Power, he will consume more essence. One kilogram of the second-stage dark beast's muscles requires Baidu's crystal coins, and a hundred kilograms are 10,000 degrees. Tens of thousands of degrees of crystal coins are consumed every day. This is not a small number. If he consumes the accumulated wealth, it may be impossible to starve to death one day.
Thinking of the seriousness of the matter, Li Zhong looked at the building complex in front of him with a gloomy expression.
Li Zhong frowned slightly and said, "What should I do? I haven't played any games in my previous life. I just saw the information about these games online and only knew it after hearing and seeing it. It seems that new game development needs to be considered."
Li Zhong returned to the real world, took off his virtual helmet, looked through the window at the dark sky outside the window, and felt an inexplicable pressure. The outside world was filled with a sense of terrifying and dangerous all the time, surrounding the whole world, as if the whole world was his enemy.
Li Zhong had no doubts about the sense of crisis in his intuition and said to himself: "It seems that some people are determined to die, but who is it? Alkin Business Association, this is a possibility. After all, I have had an inconvenience with them, and now their game has to pay me a lot of patent fees. It is hard to guarantee that they will not take action against me for the huge benefits of this."
"The world is full of money and profit. I understand this principle. The so-called financial situation is moving, and there will always be people who are blinded by profit. Unfortunately, my strength is still not enough. I can only hide in this school city for the time being to ensure the safety of my life. When I set foot on a nightmare level, I will probably be qualified to protect myself in this world."
A trace of uneasiness flashed in Li Zhong's heart, and then he became patient. At this time, the door ring sounded.
Li Zhong's heart moved and knew that what he needed was coming.
With great strides, Li Zhong came to the hotel gate. Now the hotel has almost become the dormitory for Li Zhong and others, and even the three remaining technicians simply moved in.
After Li Zhong took the large amount of goods, he twisted the things back to his room alone.
Li Zhong put the pile of goods aside and took out one of the wooden boxes, which was the wooden box containing the second-order genetic agent.
After opening the wooden box, a bottle of black liquid appeared in front of him.
Li Zhong took a deep breath and then said, "Let's start evolving tomorrow, it's time to rest today."
Time flies very quickly, and early the next morning, Li Zhong came to the training room in the academy alone.
The training room is a very safe place. Everything here is cast in special alloys. Legend has it that except for the hell-level existences that can break through these hard metals, other levels of existences basically do not have such ability. Of course, there is nothing to do when encountering large-scale weapon bombardment. However, this is the Academy City, and I am afraid it will not be besieged for a day.
This is not only a place for training, but also a place for breaking through the realm. It can ensure your own safety and be undisturbed during the evolution process, because the later stage, the longer the evolution time will be. Sometimes, if you are disturbed by external forces, you may fail.
Li Zhong held the evolution potion in his hand, took a deep breath, and then swallowed the evolution potion in one gulp.
"boom"
As if he had swallowed a ball of flame, Li Zhong felt that his whole body was about to burn, and a terrifying genetic agent exploded in his body and rushed towards every cell in his body.
