Following the direction Chu Qi had pointed earlier, Lu Luo walked into a room at the corner of that floor. Four alien corpses were piled in the corner. For Lu Luo, these corpses were undoubtedly a huge fortune.
However, before absorbing these alien corpses, there were other things to do, such as looting them.
"Why not search after devouring them? Rummaging through the corpses like this, even with my thick skin, feels quite disgusting."
Lu Luo's expression was a bit distorted. Although there were also mechanical and ghost-type aliens in the exhibition hall, most of them were animal-type.
The smell of animal aliens was not pleasant, and after they became corpses, this smell mixed with blood and decay was incredibly pungent!
"Your Devourer level is too low. It will devour both the alien corpse and the dark energy items together. In that case, you might lose a top-tier piece of equipment. Of course, this "top-tier" is only relative to a weakling like you."
"Also, you'd better hurry. The dark energy in alien corpses dissipates rapidly after death. These are precious energy for you, so seize every second, young man!"
"Damn it, why didn't you say so earlier?"
Seeing the Observer's prompt, Lu Luo rummaged through the corpses faster. Soon, he found a somewhat old pocket watch from a pile of shredded flesh. The moment he touched the watch, Lu Luo felt something very different.
This feeling was similar to when he used his Devourer to absorb aliens.
"Found it."
"Wow, you've acquired a piece of equipment! Although it's trash in the eyes of the noble Observer, for you, it's undoubtedly a top-tier item."
Grudge Pocket Watch
Grade: Excellent
Effect - Vengeful Spirit: Release a Tier 1 Ghost-type alien - Zhang Zhe's Vengeful Spirit, to attack indiscriminately. Can only be used once.
Description: "I shouldn't have become an alien. They tricked me! Chu Qi deserves to die, everyone deserves to die!" — Zhang Zhe.
Hint: This item is a component and can be further synthesized.
"Wow, this item is actually formed from the condensed resentment of an alien. His hatred has turned into something tangible, which is truly incredible."
Looking at the pocket watch, Lu Luo fell into deep thought. The information in the watch's description and the Observer's prompt was substantial. Zhang Zhe was also their classmate. For some reason, he had become an alien?
Who were "they"? Was it Blue Sky Pharmaceuticals, which sponsored this trip, or Gu Fangyi, Chu Qi, and the others on this floor?
Why did Chu Qi deserve to die? Why did Zhang Zhe hate Chu Qi so much? Was Zhang Zhe's transformation into an alien related to Chu Qi?
Or was Zhang Zhe, after becoming an alien, killed by Chu Qi? But the main combatant of the team just now was clearly Gu Fangyi. Chu Qi didn't show obvious combat power. Was she hiding her strength beneath her delicate appearance?
Lu Luo's mind quickly sifted through this information, judging the possible scenarios, and then he labeled Chu Qi as a suspect.
The reason was simple: the Observer had already clarified that this was an item condensed from hatred, which could only mean that Zhang Zhe indeed hated Chu Qi very much, and then "them."
"Because of hatred, a vengeful spirit item was created. This Chu Qi, I'd better be careful of her."
This item was undoubtedly a trump card for Lu Luo at the moment, but the last hint still made him more concerned.
"Component? Can this thing be combined with other items?"
"Blade of Vengeful Spirit - Synthesis Recipe: Zhang Zhe's Pocket Watch + 3 Strands of Sleeping Witch's Hair + Deformed Bone Hand + 249 Energy + 1 gram of Dark Spirit Stone."
"It really exists? What is the Sleeping Witch's Hair?"
"It's the hair of that monster under the staircase, full of dark energy and very tough. Only 3 strands are needed."
Lu Luo was silent for a moment, then slowly extended the Devourer's black thread, and after a while, he said,
"The mortal world is pretty good. I don't want to leave yet."
Not to mention the massive 249 energy deficit and the very expensive Dark Spirit Stone, just the Sleeping Witch's Hair alone was something he couldn't get his hands on.
And he wasn't quite sure what the Deformed Bone Hand was either. This synthesis seemed to be a long way off.
Putting away the pocket watch, Lu Luo began to clean up the alien corpses. The process of devouring energy was always so enjoyable.
Gu Fangyi and the others had killed a total of 4 aliens. This should be the result of the staff, tourists, and a dozen students on this floor, with only 5 survivors remaining, a rather tragic outcome.
One of the 4 aliens provided Lu Luo with 50 energy, while the others were all around 30, giving Lu Luo a total of 130 energy.
His total energy value reached 147, making Lu Luo feel like he had struck it rich overnight.
"Damn it, I'm trying to control myself, but why can't I stop my mouth from curving upwards? It's just 147 energy, Lu Luo, you can't get conceited! But what's with this feeling of elation?"
"The host's thoughts make even the Observer feel ashamed. So chuunibyou."
Lu Luo didn't stop and immediately began to strengthen his own attributes, still focusing on Agility, an attribute that could change his current situation.
3.1, 3.2... 4.9, 5.0.
The moment he spent 90 points to raise his Agility attribute to 5.0, a new prompt appeared.
"Agility attribute increased to 5.0, automatically awakened Sequence D-14 - Dexterity."
Sequence D14 - Dexterity
Effect - Dexterity: Dexterity increased by 10%
Description: Actions must be cool, speed must be fast.
"Dexterity Advancement: Continue to increase Agility + Leap of Faith."
"A decent low-level sequence, more than enough for you. — A fair assessment from the S-rank Sequence Observer."
"Did 5 points of Agility produce a new talent? ."
Lu Luo saw the difference between this sequence and his S-rank sequence. First, Dexterity did not have level progression, but it had an advancement direction.
Dexterity +10% was a very useful passive ability, but its current effect wasn't strong enough at 10%, which wasn't intimidating.
With 60 points remaining, Lu Luo raised his Strength to 2.0 and Constitution to 3.0, then kept 19 points for temporary use.
Strength 2, Agility 5, Constitution 3. This increase in attribute values gave Lu Luo's combat power a qualitative leap.
Now, if he faced the mechanical shark from before, even without using his Fuser, he would have a 70-80% chance of killing it.
"Getting stronger by collecting corpses is truly a delightful thing."
Lu Luo prepared to go back and see what the group had decided.
"Crack!"
The sound of breaking glass appeared under his feet. It must have been ordinary items left behind after the devouring.
"This is a fragment of a very high-end pharmaceutical-grade reagent bottle. This hint should give you enough to think about."
"A very high-end pharmaceutical-grade reagent bottle, interesting. The people who sponsored us are Blue Sky Pharmaceuticals, under Blue Sky Biotechnology.
Even this summer camp activity was funded by Blue Sky Pharmaceuticals. This hint indeed gave me a lot to think about.
If this matter is really related to Blue Sky Pharmaceuticals, then are we just guinea pigs?"
Lu Luo wrapped the reagent bottle in paper and put it in his pocket.
With his experience from his previous life, Lu Luo might not rashly hand over such evidence, but he would still collect it. This was an advantage, and perhaps it would be useful later.
