My blood regeneration is 100 million points faster

Xia Zuo turned on the searchlight of his diving suit and slowly groped through the seaweed at human height.

The feedback information from scrying shows that the seaweed planted here is an alchemical product.

Their prototype is the relatively common large-leaf seaweed. After alchemical treatment, it can theoretically grow up to 1 meter long, which is twice the length of ordinary large-leaf seaweed.

Far away from the sea level, where the light is weak and the environment is dark, red and blue seaweed can absorb blue and green sunlight better than green seaweed.

In the bright light of the searchlight, the blue and red alchemical seaweed swayed towards the passing Xia Zuo like a slender girl, wrapping her slim and slippery body around the opponent's limbs, or slapping them. On the opponent’s helmet…

Sticky and slippery…

When these two slightly disgusting properties of stickiness and slippery appear at the same time, they can make people mentally unstable.

When seaweed gets entangled on the body, they will give full play to their sticky properties and stick firmly to the wetsuit, pulling and tugging like a wanton prostitute.

If you want to pull them apart, you will find it difficult to hold them with your hands, and even more difficult to use strength. Your hands will slip and be stained with sticky liquid...

As soon as Xia Zuo was entangled in seaweed, the status bar on the character template changed, and the golden finger prompted him to obtain a negative status:

2 layers of restraint effect (seaweed entanglement), movement and action speed are reduced by 30%, and there is a high chance of obtaining an additional layer of restraint effect each time you struggle.

Xia Zuo knew that the more this happened, the more calm he had to be.

Any mage can restrain his fear of the ocean through shallow meditation and remain calm in front of the seaweed dancing with demons.

But there are very few mages who can deal with difficult problems calmly without being allowed to use spells.

They may be forced out of a shallow meditative state, then immediately re-enter it, and after a few iterations become more adept at it, eventually solving the problem.

But this method of completing tasks through trial and error may not work in this test.

Because a wetsuit requires energy to power.

Once Xia Zuo is forced to terminate the state of shallow meditation, the energy and auxiliary power systems of the diving suit will be immediately interrupted, and will be noticed by Hillenberg in the ocean observation room.

Xia Zuo cannot ensure that the other party will tolerate mistakes and cannot place his hopes on others' tolerance.

Therefore, he chose to calm down and deal with the seaweed on his body slowly, preferring to go slower.

Anyway, he has the [energetic] special effect, so it's not a problem to entangle with the seaweed... uh... for several hours.

Hillenberg, who was waiting in the ocean observation room, fell silent as he stared at Xia Zuo, who was struggling to move forward in the orb.

He deliberately did not mention the difficulty of seaweed to the other party, nor did he provide corresponding cleaning tools. In fact, every researcher who went to the seaweed field would spray special oil in front of him to disperse the alchemy in a short time. Seaweeds, let them shrink back into the soil...

Hillenberg wanted to use this simple test to fully explore Xia Zuo's physical strength, energy, character, and many basic qualities as an alchemist. This was far better than putting him into a dangerous situation. safer.

Looking at it now, it's not bad. At least after being under the dark water for almost ten minutes, Xia Zuo is still as calm as ever, and he is also calm when handling the seaweed.

Let's see how long Xia Zuo can persist in this situation...

How long can it last?

Ten minutes ago, when he was first entangled in seaweed, Xia Zuo's answer was about 9 hours.

But just now, he broke free from the shackles of seaweed for the first time and received a golden message:

It is detected that the host has successfully released the restraint effect manually, and will be rewarded with 5 experience points, 0.005 strength, agility and endurance attribute points, as well as a trace amount of perception attribute value.

This works too! ?

10 minutes, exchange for 0.005 points of force sensitivity and resistance attribute value, what a deal!

Is this the legendary underwater practice?

Xia Zuo stared blankly at the countless seaweed ahead.

In his eyes, these blue and red seaweeds seemed to have really turned into beautiful beauties and were no longer annoying sea plants.

You must stay, join Hillenberg’s working group, and find another opportunity to dive into the sea!

Xia Zuo's eyes narrowed and he made up his mind to perform well.

He mobilized the primary alchemy stone again, took a few mouthfuls of the satiety potion, obtained the special effect of [full physical energy], and then moved forward at full power.

Hillenberger in the ocean observation room noticed that Xia Zuo's walking pace had become longer, thinking that the other party was impatient and wanted to speed up the progress.

Hillenburg was just about to sigh silently, lamenting that young people are easily impulsive, and felt sorry for Xia Zuo's loss, but he saw that after Xia Zuo was entangled in seaweed, his movements to break free became more skillful and faster...

Hillenburg suppressed the sigh that was about to pop out of his throat, couldn't help but get closer to the orb, carefully observed the scene inside, and murmured to himself, Is it a coincidence?

He saw that Xia Zuo was entangled in seaweed again. This was expected. The faster he walked, the easier it was to get entangled, but it was not as efficient as walking slowly.

This time, it only took half the time for Xia Zuo to free himself.

It's not a coincidence... Could it be that Xia Zuo has excellent physical talent, or has received training from the Warriors Guild? No, I remember that he didn't practice breathing techniques.

Hillenburg was confused.

He took out a secret message ring from his alchemy pocket and dialed a secret message.

After a while, the reply came.

Hillenburg lowered his head and glanced at the message above, and said with slight surprise:

My identity must be verified before I can access Xia Zuo's public files.

Hillenburg realized something was not simple.

He summoned an elemental servant and asked the other party to take his alchemy card and his handwritten and signed authorization letter to the fifth floor of the castle.

Xia Zuo knew nothing about what was going on in the ocean observation room. Even if he knew, he wouldn't think there was any problem.

This kind of behavior of checking the information of other alchemists through the public archives of the Alchemy School is normal, legal and compliant, just like looking through other people's friends, public information cards, and website public information in the previous life.

The Alchemy School has compiled a complete identity information for each member, which records an alchemist's citizen level, alchemy qualifications, major achievements, etc.

If there is a physical fitness test report, it will also appear on the public file.

Hillenburg took over Xia Zuo's file from the returned elemental servant. The thickness of the file bag alone showed that Xia Zuo's resume was richer than that of alchemists of the same age.

The first thing Hillenburg saw was that Xia Zuo had accepted the loyalty ceremony because he had made a significant and irreplaceable contribution to a major operation of the Demon Hunting School.

Giving Xia Zuo the light element in advance was only one of the rewards led by the demon hunting school. The demon hunting masters also sent Rexor to help Xia Zuo strengthen his body as another reward.

Not long ago, the detection master in the temple conducted a very authoritative physical examination on Xia Zuo, confirming that his physical fitness had slightly exceeded the level of a demon hunting apprentice.

Considering the strictness of the Demon Hunter Master's teachings and the fact that Xia Zuo takes poison alchemy as his main alchemy, it is understandable that he has stronger willpower than a normal mage.

Hillenburg realized that he had met a very rare alchemist talent, and that the other person had always been obsessed with alchemy work and neglected social interaction. He was the kind of alchemist partner who had a pure mind and a reliable character.

It was completely worth it for Hillenberg to use his authority to ask Poseidon City's Emergency Response Department for personnel and request that the other party send Xia Zuo to be stationed in Lumington City.

Hillenburg put the file bag back into the hands of the elemental servant, asked it to be sent back, and then looked at the glass ball on the operating table.

After nearly an hour and a half of hard work, Xia Zuo finally found the tool box that was entangled in seaweed in the target field. After entangled with dozens of seaweed along the way, he successfully obtained 0.08 points of force sensitivity and resistance attribute value. The improvement speed is faster than taking adaptation potion.

Xia Zuo took a break and looked at the large box that was left in the seaweed field. There was a big hole on the surface of the box, and the metal tools inside the box were scattered on the ground.

Especially the small screws and nuts, which were scattered by the current, and many of them floated away with the current. Xia Zuo had to slow down his movements to avoid being completely unable to retrieve these things that might cause pollution.

Master Hillenburg, I found the toolbox you mentioned.

Xia Zuo slowly squatted down and reached out to grope the bottom of the box. It sank into the soil, about 20 centimeters deep. The top of the box was seriously damaged, tools were lost, and a large group of seaweed entangled it.

Is the tool box broken? Hillenberg said with some confusion. Look carefully and see what broke the box. The outer shell of this tool box has a hardness of over 20, and alchemy seaweed cannot withstand it. Break the shell.”

Xia Zuo adjusted the brightness of the searchlight to make it softer and reduce the reflection on the metal surface.

Two rows of fine jagged lines appeared on both sides of the breach. It can be imagined that some kind of creature with sharp teeth used its powerful bite force to bite the tool box open.

Xia Zuo activated [Toxin Sensing] to look for possible toxins.

There is a prerequisite for the detection spell when it is cast - the medium through which spell energy is transmitted in nature is air.

Xia Zuo was in sea water at this time, which inevitably weakened the effect of toxin induction.

He failed to detect the presence of toxins, perhaps there were no toxins at all...

After hearing Xia Zuo's description of the damage to the toolbox, Hillenberg felt a little uncomfortable and said in an emphasis:

Xia Zuo, something has changed. Based on your previous performance, you have passed the interview. Now, I want you to do one thing. Fasten a stick-shaped marker on the left leg of your diving suit.

You put the marker in the tool box, and then return to the diving room. When you go back, pay attention to the movement around you. If you encounter trouble, press the emergency rescue button on your chest.

Okay, Master.

Xia Zuo felt happy because he passed the interview, but at the same time he felt uncomfortable because of the other person's tone...

Master, are there any ferocious underwater creatures around here?

It may not be an undersea creature, it could also be a strange demon lurking in.

Hillenberg stared at the orb closely, and used the buttons on the console to shrink some of the scenes inside the orb, making the field of view wider so that he could detect abnormalities in advance, and said at the same time:

This seaweed field platform is researching a kind of alchemical seaweed that can effectively shield detection. When the research and development is completed, the alchemical seaweed will be planted in the sea area around the sea castle to shield the prying eyes of strange demons.

Below the platform, at a depth of about 2 kilometers, is the connection between nature and the Thunder Sea plane. There is an impregnable outpost there, which is used to screen and filter the materials that circulate between the natural world and the Thunder Sea plane. …”

Hillenburg paused, pushed down his eyes on the bridge of his nose, and asked:

By the way, Xia Zuo, have you ever studied planes?

No, Master.

Xia Zuo's head covered in the diving helmet shook, and the light of the searchlight dyed his face pale. My understanding of the planes is still limited to the content mentioned in the Introduction to Meditation Method, and there is no system yet. I have studied planes.

Then you have to make up for your knowledge in this area as soon as possible. Hillenburg recalled the evaluation of Xia Zuo in the file--his memory is extraordinary, and said:

I believe you will soon be able to master the basic knowledge of planes. I will also lend you some textbooks and notes on marine alchemy - the ones I wrote myself. You can take them back to study on your own, and keep them confidential, because I haven’t planned to make it public yet.”

Okay, Master. Don't worry, I won't show it to anyone else.

Xia Zuo pushed aside the seaweed in front of him and walked briskly through the seaweed field.

When I came, I needed to find a tool box, so I slowed down my pace. When I returned, it was much faster. After only 20 minutes of walking, the diving room with its white light was faintly visible among the swaying seaweed.

I have reported the strange phenomena in the seaweed field to the castle administrator.

Hillenburg put down the secret message ring in his hand and pressed a few buttons on the console. At the same time, we also received permission to dispatch the elemental puppet recovery tool box. If you have time later, you can stay here for a while. Join me in identifying the broken toolbox.

No problem. Xia Zuo estimated that it should be around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and it was still a long time before getting off work.

He quickened his pace a little more. When he was approaching the diving room, he suddenly heard several fast-moving grunts above his head. He immediately looked up alertly and immediately hid himself in the seaweed.

Don't worry, that's the elemental puppet I'm controlling. Hillenburg said while fiddling with the console:

“There are a total of 6 types of elemental puppets in the Alchemy Castle.

What's above you now is one of the underwater transport-type elemental golems.

They look similar to giant jellyfish. One large and three small ones are installed on the lower umbrella, a total of four underwater propellers, which are used to adjust the direction while swimming.

Xia Zuo looked at the elemental puppets passing by at a constant speed above his head. He was no longer as nervous as before. There were more companions around him, which was better than being alone... even though they were not real people.

Hillenberger is right. These elemental puppets do look like jellyfish, but they are still far from real jellyfish.

When they swim, they rely solely on the power provided by the thrusters, and do not open and shrink like jellyfish. Apparently, the Alchemy School has only taken advantage of the fact that the appearance of jellyfish can effectively reduce water resistance, and has not yet explored the simulation structure in depth.

Xia Zuo, after you enter the diving room, tap the glass wall twice and you can close the hatch and float up. I have to concentrate on controlling the elemental puppet recovery tool box. If their chains get entangled in seaweed, it will be troublesome.

Copy that, Master.

Xia Zuo stepped into the diving room and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He unexpectedly received a message from Goldfinger in his mind:

It was detected that the host successfully completed a mission in the upper ocean. The mission lasted for 1 hour and 46 minutes. The mission completion rate was 100%. The reward was 106 experience points and several strength, agility and endurance attribute values.

Another reward, the reward for completing underwater work and the reward for breaking free from the shackles of seaweed are calculated separately!

Xia Zuo looked at the sea water being slowly discharged from the cabin with some joy.

The surrounding pressure is gradually reduced to prevent the diving suit from being squeezed by the sudden change in pressure...

When Xia Zuo returned to the ocean observation room and took off his diving suit, the elemental puppets just packed and transported the damaged tool box back.

…

The process of identifying the damaged tool box was a bit unsatisfactory. Xia Zuo had a hunch that he would have to go home late again today.

Next to a spacious enclosed workbench.

Hillenburg crossed his arms and looked at the toolbox that had been dismantled into parts. His eyes reflected a dark, greasy light, and he asked Xia Zuo beside him:

What do you think that thing that exploded just now could be?

Xia Zuo's eyes were filled with green magic light, and the vision provided by [Toxin Sensing] showed that as many as 20 types of toxins were dissipating rapidly, disappearing completely in less than 2 seconds.

Just about 10 minutes ago, when Hillenburg was controlling the elemental puppet to inspect the tool box, he accidentally discovered an egg-shaped thing deep in the box.

The egg-shaped object was affected by pressure changes and exploded when it entered the lower-pressure observation room. The mucus inside the egg sputtered out and contaminated the entire tool box.

Xia Zuo immediately noticed the toxicity in the mucus, and reminded Hillenberg to seal the tool box, then disassembled the tool box, and finally obtained the parts that had been contaminated by the mucus.

What Hillenberg was thinking about at this time was the origin of egg-like things.

It is not the eggs of marine life, at least not the eggs of marine life in the area around the sea castle, I can be sure of this.

Hillenburg looked at the noteboard in his hand, which recorded Xia Zuo's observations, There are as many as 20 toxins. It's hard for me not to suspect that this is a trap set by some kind of strange demon. The most troublesome thing is that these toxins Once they dissipate, we have nothing to do with them, and there is no time to identify their poisonous effects and bring them to the sample bank for comparison.

Master, if this is what the strange demon left behind, maybe I can ask Master Rexor for advice. He is very knowledgeable about strange demons. Xia Zuo groped in his alchemy pocket and took out the bald Ring of Secret Message.

Oh, is that the master demon hunter who gave you physical strengthening training? Then I'd like you to ask. I will report to the castle administrator once I receive the exact information, Hillenburg said.

Xia Zuo immediately dialed a long secret message, describing in detail the discovery of the egg-shaped object and the toxins.

The two of them handed over the work while waiting for a reply.

Xia Zuo signed his name on the employment authorization order issued by Hillenberg, and once the Poseidon City Emergency Response Department agrees, he will be able to work here full-time.

But the accommodation is still in Poseidon City, for safety reasons.

He had to use the wind technique to fly to the teleportation room in the city center after get off work every day, and use the teleportation crystal to return home.

It's a bit of a hassle...but compared to the rewards of underwater activities, it's totally worth it.
