Chapter 20: Double Infection.

Xiao Fen saw this number and his heart stirred again.

His previous guess was indeed correct. As long as a Trialist killed those Stitched Monsters, it would count towards the total mission count; it didn’t necessarily have to be Xiao Fen who completed it.

The reason for this guess before was precisely because of the Stitched Monster Sylvia had killed.

In this Trial World, there was no such thing as mission sharing. Theoretically, since Xiao Fen triggered the Radiance of Lux mission, killing those Stitched Monsters should count only if Xiao Fen did it alone.

However, the Stitched Monster killed by Sylvia changed Xiao Fen’s mission record. This showed that Trialists killing Stitched Monsters could also count as part of the mission Xiao Fen completed.

It was just that, at the time, Xiao Fen could not be sure if Sylvia was judged by the World Tree to be in a small squad because she was very close to him, thus affecting his mission record.

The two newly added kill results just now confirmed for Xiao Fen that Trialists in the same Trial World, regardless of whether they were hostile to each other or how far apart they were, as long as they killed those Stitched Monsters, could cause Xiao Fen’s mission record to change.

In a short time, they had killed two Stitched Monsters. The Li Family’s team’s true combat strength absolutely could not be underestimated.

However, what Xiao Fen needed now was precisely this kind of combat strength. The more the Li Family team killed, the easier it would be to help Xiao Fen complete this mission.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fen could not suppress the excitement in his heart. He tightened his right hand, wanting to clench his fist and give a low shout, but he forgot he was holding a sharp-edged crystal.

With this sudden force, the low shout happened, but his happy mood instantly flew to the clouds.

The sharp corner of the crystal pierced through the skin of Xiao Fen’s finger during the tight grip just now. In this hole, no blood flowed out; instead, the pus and Stitched Monster blood attached to the crystal seemed to be attracted by a black hole, rapidly flowing into the wound on Xiao Fen’s finger.

This process not only made Xiao Fen lose his appetite but also caused an abnormal pain in his palm.

Sylvia looked up at Xiao Fen’s finger, shook her head slightly, and said: “You really are a guy who excels at dropping the ball at critical moments.”

Xiao Fen wanted to express admiration for Sylvia’s mastery of Chinese short phrases, but that was not the priority right now.

He hurriedly took out the last Nutrient Agent from his leather bag, bit open the seal, and forcefully squeezed the sticky contents out and swallowed it. The next second, a groggy feeling arrived as scheduled. In an instant, Xiao Fen fainted to the ground again.

Unlike the first faint, the second faint was not long, a point that even Xiao Fen could vaguely feel. When he opened his eyes, Sylvia had just opened a treasure chest with the last key.

Seeing Xiao Fen wake up, Sylvia frowned slightly and asked: “How do you feel?”

“Dizzy, nauseous, otherwise fine.”

Sylvia drew a large exclamation mark on her face. She lowered her voice but seemed to use great effort to say: “Otherwise fine? Do you know what this means? You survived a process that meant certain death, and not just once, but repeatedly. This is not a miracle, but a Divine Miracle!”

Seeing the confused look on Xiao Fen’s face, Sylvia continued: “The bloodline of Garm means absolute neutrality. The fact that the filthy bloodline you just infected with could infect you shows that this bloodline is of the same grade as the Garm bloodline; both are high-level bloodlines. High-level neutral bloodlines and high-level filthy bloodlines will erupt in severe conflict, invading each other’s gene groups. This conflict is terrifying even in Reality, let alone fighting inside a human body. And you actually survived this process. This result would absolutely drive those Awakened mad!”

After thinking for a moment, Sylvia squatted down, stared at Xiao Fen, and said solemnly: “Listen, Palin, absolutely do not let a third Awakened know about this. The secret of the bloodline in your body, besides me, you, and Yggdrasil, if there is even one more person who knows, your life will be in more danger. Those Awakened will not let you go; they will study or even fight for your bloodline. If you want to live longer, keep this secret as much as possible.”

Xiao Fen nodded and said with a bitter smile: “Forget about secrets. It’s still doubtful whether we can leave this Trial World. What about your results?”

Sylvia nodded, lowered her head, and picked up the previous weapon manufacturing Spell Fragment from the ground. In her hand, two fragments of the same material were gently trembling in the mist.

Sure enough, it was more beneficial to have a veteran like Sylvia opening treasure chests. Although they didn’t continue to get too many good things, collecting all the weapon manufacturing spells was what was needed most at this moment.

Sylvia’s hand shook in the air; she should be interacting with the projection screen she controlled. A small glow flashed, and the three fragments immediately turned into one, slowly falling into Sylvia’s hand.

Sylvia looked at it, shook her head, and handed it to Xiao Fen, saying: “It’s something we use, but we can’t manufacture it.”

Xiao Fen looked down at the weapon manufacturing spell and frowned as well.

“Item Name: Acid Poison Bullet Manufacturing.”

“Effect: Allows you to learn to manufacture Acid Poison Bullets. Acid Poison Bullets can create a terrible wound on a target’s body and will spread strong acid and potent poison along the wound surface into the target’s body. Effective against all biological targets.”

“Acid Poison Bullet.”

“Quality: Excellent.”

“Base Damage: 40.”

“Characteristics: Strong Acid Suppression, reduces target defense by 30; Poison Damage, adds 20 toxin damage per second for 3 seconds; bullet effects cannot stack.”

“Base Duration: 300 minutes.”

“Manufacturing Spell: ??????????????????? (Eye of the Poison Wizard, Hebrew).”

“Manufacturing Requirements: Basic Bullets, Basic Weapon Manufacturing.”

“Note: Can only be manufactured under the gaze of Yggdrasil, and can only be used in environments permitted by Yggdrasil.”

“Sounds like a fruit. That’s a good phenomenon; you hope all your enemies have good appetites.”

Xiao Fen frowned and asked: “It looks like you can manufacture it?”

Sylvia checked the other items and answered absentmindedly: “But I no longer have enough Energy to pay for the need to manufacture these bullets.”

Xiao Fen nodded and asked again: “How do you pronounce those Hebrew words?”

Sylvia suddenly looked up, looked at Xiao Fen, and asked in disbelief: “Are you sure you can manufacture it?”

Xiao Fen nodded and answered: “When I was awake just now, the World Tree appeared in front of me and notified me that my body genes had undergone double infection, completed basic replacement, passed the danger period, and was about to become a Trialist. I can learn skills that were previously blocked. I just opened a Skill Point and happened to put it on the Weapon Crafting skill.”

“Oh, Lilith above, I praise you,” Sylvia suddenly leaped up. While praising all Vampire ancestors, she threw herself onto Xiao Fen and kissed him hard on the face, saying with a smile: “Damn it, Palin, you have added another reason why I have to fall in love with you. This is not a good phenomenon.”

Xiao Fen wiped his face awkwardly and said: “We can discuss these things later. What needs to be done first now is to tell me how exactly these twisting Hebrew words are pronounced.”

Sylvia kissed Xiao Fen hard on the other side of his face. Her plump chest pressed against Xiao Fen, making his heart pound like a deer, and his mind went blank for a moment.

It was not until Sylvia’s petite body left his that Xiao Fen secretly let out a long sigh of relief.

On the Light Screen before his eyes, the explanation of Weapon Crafting was flashing.

“Weapon Crafting Skill: Basic. You can manufacture weapons by learning scrolls.”

“Note: Invest 3 Skill Points, and you can upgrade this skill to Intermediate.”

A few minutes later, a row of bullets emitting a strange color were piled on the ground beside the two.

Looking at these bullets, Xiao Fen, who felt his Energy was empty, deeply rejoiced at his choice to exchange all remaining Gene Points for bullets. If he had exchanged for something else at that time, there wouldn’t be many bullets available for him to manufacture now.

The 300 Gene Points obtained from opening treasure chests had been transferred to Sylvia. She also needed a gun. Before killing more Stitched Monsters, neither of them had extra Gene Points.

More importantly, they needed to retain enough Acid Poison Bullets, because with the sound of gunshots, in the future, they would have to deal with not only those Stitched Monsters but also the malicious Trialists.
