Chapter 131: Extreme Value of Attributes

【Sinful Reincarnator ex051 (Talent Activated State)】

【Codename: Tao Baibai】

【Bloodline: Human (Mythical Species, Myriad Phenomena Species) · Myriad Calamity Yin Spirit Yellow Springs Body (Refined*1, Spirit Awakened*1)】

【Equipped Milestone: Killer Species】

【Basic Four-Dimensional Attributes】

Strength: 20+ (In a special state, has not crossed the Extreme Value, cannot obtain Extreme Value Tese)

Agility: 20+ (In a special state, has not crossed the Extreme Value, cannot obtain Extreme Value Tese)

Constitution: 20+ (In a special state, has not crossed the Extreme Value, cannot obtain Extreme Value Tese)

Spirit: 16 (Yin Spirit Curse Erosion state)

Energy:? (Special Constitution, cannot be anchored)

Bai Cangshu looked at his current attributes on the panel and clenched his fist.

So, this powerful strength, in the judgment of the Infinite, is merely a 【20+】 state?

But physically, his strength at this moment was definitely more than double his normal state; he had tested it in reality, and in his normal state, he could lift a car weighing over a ton without much effort, with a theoretical strength value likely approaching 2 tons.

And at this very moment, having just casually thrown a taxi over ten meters to flip the vehicle driven by that trench-coat-wearing Reincarnator, his strength value was definitely far beyond 2 tons, possibly possessing an output force approaching four or five tons.

This meant his previous judgment regarding the Strength Extreme Value was incorrect.

Bai Cangshu had previously estimated, based on his own situation, that every point of Strength in the Infinite was roughly equivalent to nearly one hundred kilograms of pure muscular force; that is, a Reincarnator with a Strength value of 10 could, even without learning any systematic force-exertion techniques, rely purely on muscle to burst out with a ton-level force.

This value was basically close to his own.

Through martial arts study and the use of abilities, one could greatly enhance the amplification of strength; for example, the instantaneous force value of Bai Cangshu unleashing Fox Shadow Style: Rakshasa Palm would, due to the application of technique, far exceed his own output force, causing a terrifying explosion.

However, right now, this numerical calculation system had encountered a problem, and Bai Cangshu believed there were two keys to this misjudgment.

The first was the existence of the 【Extreme Value】 system; this seemed to be a unique system of the Infinite, setting 20 points as a certain extreme of the physical body, which must meet special conditions to be crossed.

Otherwise, no matter how much strength was increased, it would still remain at the 20+ level.

And once the Extreme Value was crossed, one would obtain an enhancement system surpassing the current one; for example, it was very likely that after crossing this value, the Reincarnator's "efficiency" in using attributes would be greatly improved, which was the only way to explain the terrifying giant strength of that werewolf who had sent him flying with one punch while his talent was activated.

The second was Bai Cangshu's special talent, which possessed an effect similar to 【Gene Lock】, capable of significantly increasing Bai Cangshu's output efficiency of his physical body and lowering the threshold of the brain's limitation on output force.

On the other side, Stormfront's slaughter with Xuanse had reached its most brutal stage; she looked at the katana piercing her chest, let out a roar, snapped the blade in two, then pulled the blade from her chest and stabbed it directly into Xuanse's neck.

"Ugh..."

A large amount of blood began to gush out from inside Xuanse's mask.

Stormfront was also heavily injured by now, her eyes bloodshot; she hissed, wanting to twist the blade.

Boom!

The sound of shattering airflow rang out, and her heart skipped a beat; she turned her head back, only to see a tall figure standing before her, that finger pointing at the center of her brow.

A scorching, stinging pain emerged from the center of her brow, then spread to the nerves throughout her entire body.

Stormfront felt her scalp burning with pain; it was the scorching pain of a living being sensing the approach of death, where every cell in the body was sounding a warning of fear.

Hum~

The atmosphere was torn apart, and a sonic boom cloud exploded in the air; the most powerful Ability User of the current age had finally arrived late to this unrecognizable street block.

Homelander looked at the heavily injured Xuanse and Stormfront, somewhat surprised by this woman's strength, but even more surprised that this Tao Baibai, who had been offering him strategies, was actually this powerful.

"Oh, oh, Mr. Tao, I didn't expect you to be... quite outstanding as well."

Stormfront saw Homelander appear out of the corner of her eye, her heart filled with joy as if she had seen a savior, and she immediately spoke.

"Homelander, I am your supporter, I am willing to support..."

Pfft!

Golden Qi instantly scorched through Stormfront's skull, completely piercing through it and sinking into the shattered concrete ground behind her, triggering an explosion.

Stormfront's voice came to an abrupt halt; Bai Cangshu turned around, and the other's corpse slumped to the ground.

"Heh, Homelander doesn't need supporters."

Homelander did not have any special feelings about the fact that this Nazi old woman, who would have a romantic entanglement with him in the future, had been killed; he didn't even recognize her at this moment, he just saw that his loyal collaborator had won, and he clapped his hands in a very playful manner to applaud him.

"As expected of an excellent powerhouse second only to me, Mr. Tao, I have found more points we have in common."

【Your actions have gained Homelander's appreciation, your Reputation with Homelander has increased, currently: Respected (15/100)】

Bai Cangshu continued to receive the appreciation of these villainous characters as usual, and his Reputation with Homelander was rising quickly.

Bai Cangshu's figure slowly shrank; this time, the severe pain in his abdomen was already quite mild.

This characteristic also satisfied the description in classic Infinite-genre novels where the side effects of opening the Gene Lock each time become lighter and lighter; Bai Cangshu was already more inclined to believe his talent was some kind of ability setting similar to the Gene Lock.

He casually wiped the bloodstains off his body, then picked up the Drop Card that Homelander could not see.

【You have obtained a Drop Card (Blue)】

Stormfront's ability was much better than The Deep's, but the quality of the Drop Card was still not particularly high.

Mu was also limping out of the store at this time, watching Tao Baibai and Homelander standing together.

It had to be said, if these two weren't both so evil and perverted, they would indeed be a combination that could make people feel very at ease.

Homelander saw the frail Mu but didn't have any special expression, not even bothering to make a gesture to comfort him; he pulled up Xuanse, whose neck was pierced by the blade, and pulled the blade out directly, bringing out a large amount of blood.

Then he patted Xuanse on the shoulder, which counted as expressing his appreciation.

"I have already gained a large amount of support on the internet, when can we start the next step?"

Although Homelander was patting Xuanse, his peripheral vision was still on Bai Cangshu.

He had come here impatiently, not because he heard there had been a violent explosion and gunfight here with many casualties, but simply because he was very eager to start his path as the only hero.

He came here just to find his "strategist"; Homelander didn't care at all about the lives or deaths of others.

He didn't even glance at the ordinary people still wailing in the store.

Bai Cangshu saw the eager Homelander and also revealed a smile; Reincarnators could not stay for too long, so it was naturally for the best that Homelander could be this eager.

"We can initiate the next step immediately. First, I think you must go and capture someone."

"Who?"

"Congresswoman Neuman."

Bai Cangshu spoke a name, and Homelander happened to know of her existence as well; she was a woman who had recently become quite prominent in the political sphere, possessing outstanding looks and equally excellent abilities, garnering support from many.

Neuman's primary political platform was advocating for the restriction of the rights of Ability Users and Superheroes, which often earned her the support of ordinary people.

"Capture her to strike at those who support her political platform?"

Homelander truly did not have much of a political mind, and his logic for thinking was very simple; Bai Cangshu shook his head.

"No, no, no. Neuman is actually an Ability User herself, and she is also the daughter of Stan, the true controller of Vought International today."

Upon hearing this news, Homelander's brows twitched.

Then, he revealed a "sunny" smile.

"That's good, that's really great."

He raised his hands high, bent his knees, crouched down in a rather comical motion, and then kicked off with force.

Boom!

Homelander instantly tore through the air and vanished into the sky.

A moment later, a large group of reporters arrived at the scene and began reporting on the feat of "Homelander quelling the chaotic incident and killing three powerful Ability Users."

As for Wuxin and Xuanse, they returned to Vought headquarters together with Bai Cangshu.

Today's successful entrapment and killing of the 【Evil Child】 had gone quite well in terms of progress; as for the remaining 【Calamity Wave】, killing them would be more difficult, and Bai Cangshu was still thinking about it.

Wuxin looked at the quiet atmosphere inside the car; he pondered for a moment, then suddenly took the initiative to speak.

"A-Train was likely taken away by Queen Maeve..." He vaguely understood the thoughts of that beast Tao Baibai; the other party likely wanted to harvest all members of The Seven, and perhaps... even Homelander.

After a series of events, Wuxin did not believe at all that someone like Tao Baibai would truly think about helping Homelander become some kind of sole Superhero.

The scenario the other party painted for Homelander was one he was very familiar with; it was the story of Superman from the DC world.

But the reason Superman was Superman, aside from his temperament, was that his power was so great that it was absolutely incomparable to Homelander.

Therefore, that plan was destined to be false from the very beginning; the other party was merely coaxing Homelander and taking the opportunity to eliminate everyone step by step.

Just like when The Deep was killed, Homelander not only didn't stop it, but actively withdrew intelligence support for The Deep, leaving him to be hunted by Tao Baibai alone.

But this incident was clearly noticed by the sharp Queen Maeve; when he was discharged from the hospital, he noticed Queen Maeve appearing in the patient area, and subsequently, A-Train was also transferred, causing Tao Baibai to lose the opportunity to kill the defenseless A-Train.

Bai Cangshu turned his head to look at Wuxin and revealed a smile.

"Oh?"

"Are you the kind of Reincarnator who would develop a sense of gratitude just because I saved you?"

He was intrigued; regarding this type of irrational Reincarnator, Bai Cangshu had moved from his previous disdain to harboring a sense of inquiry, because as he realized the power of Reincarnators who had crossed the 【Extreme Value】.

!

Bai Cangshu began to realize that those Reincarnators who truly stood at the pinnacle of the space must possess power that he could not currently imagine.

In other words, an organization like 【Blue Sky】, whose fame surpassed the East District and became a powerful Gathering renowned throughout the entire space, must have controllers within it who possessed knowledge far exceeding his own.

For such people to choose someone as "naive" as 【Professor】 to be a 【Card Holder】 meant that the controllers of 【Blue Sky】 believed this type of "naive" Reincarnator possessed some kind of special potential.

It allowed them to grow in an unfavorable environment where they faced monsters like himself in the early stages, and made them worth investing in.

Within this, there must be some kind of "idealistic" power at play.

Wuxin looked away; he had indeed seen Tao Baibai appear at the moment of his near-death and crush the Evil Child, and he felt an indescribable joy in his heart.

But he did not feel that his thoughts were abnormal.

He was just an ordinary person; he could not be as calculating as 【Heavenly Will】, nor could he be as resolute in temperament as 【No Injury】. An ordinary person would despair when about to die and would be happy when saved by someone.

This was the awareness of an ordinary person.

"I am indeed grateful to you, but this intelligence is not a reward."

"I just hope you can end everything as soon as possible; I want... to go home..."

Wuxin held his severed hand and looked out the window; he was tired of dealing with these monster-like Reincarnators, and he just wanted to return to his home in the suburbs and live a few peaceful days.

Bai Cangshu clicked his tongue, ultimately still unable to understand the other party's mindset.

But he inexplicably felt that this weak, ordinary Reincarnator before him possessed a unique kind of resilience.

Perhaps, being able to maintain the mindset of an ordinary person in a cruel place like the Reincarnation Space was, in itself, a quite difficult thing?

Bai Cangshu captured something, but before he could investigate it in detail, that thought had already dissipated.

A scarlet radiance appeared in his hand, and he immediately crushed the Scarlet Drop Card.

【You have opened the Scarlet Drop Card】

【Drop opening in progress...】

【Calculating target Killing Points, target Killing Points are: 9, reward increased】

【Calculating your Killing Points...】

【Detected that ex051 possesses Sin Points, you will receive 1 additional reward selection option】 (Sin Points insufficient to open the next stage of increase)

【Calculation complete; for this opening, you may choose 2 items from the following rewards】

【a: 45% of Dimension Points】

【b: 3 items from the Backpack】

【c: An additional 10% increase of the Main Attribute added to your own attributes】

【d: Randomly draw 1 Specialty, and retain the level up to a maximum of Lv4】

【e: Randomly obtain 1 Superpower, the ability can only retain the level of Lv1】

This trench-coat-wearing Reincarnator's Killing Points were far fewer than Bai Cangshu had imagined; following a guy like the Evil Child, he hadn't expected that he had only killed 9 Reincarnators.

"Tsk, what a disappointment."

Bai Cangshu let out the same exclamation as the wicked child.

"Select b, c."

For Reincarnators who did not display much in the way of special abilities, Bai Cangshu would basically always choose items and attributes; after mastering the Dodon Ray, he had basically completely abandoned the idea of learning Shooting Mastery.

Using firearms was basically just shooting at random; the principle of Death Intent Senra was the flow and infusion of Yellow Springs Power within his own Bloodline, so it could not be triggered by firearm shooting, and thus Bai Cangshu gave up on the idea of looking for a golden Gatling gun.

【You have selected b, drawing...】

【You have obtained an item, a stack of special documents (White)】

【You have obtained an item, Large Bundle of Currency (White)】

【You have obtained an item, high-explosive grenade *3】

【You have selected c, drawing...】

【Your Spirit attribute +1, current: 17】

Watching the light flash on and off in Bai Cangshu's hands, items were casually taken out and tossed into his Backpack one by one; because it wasn't precious enough, that stack of currency was directly tossed into the car by Bai Cangshu.

Mu averted her gaze; is this the end for a Reincarnator, to become a card...

【You have opened a Scarlet Drop Card】

【Drop opening...】

【Calculating target Killing Points, target Killing Points are: 37, reward increased】

【Calculating your Killing Points...】

【Detected that ex051 possesses Sin Points, you will receive 1 additional reward selection option】

【Calculation complete, for this opening, you will be able to select 2 items from the following rewards as your reward】

【a: 65% of Dimension Points】

【b: 4 items from the Backpack】

【c: Obtain an additional 10% of the Main Attribute added to your own attributes】

【d: Randomly draw 1 Specialty, and retain a level up to lv7】

【e: Randomly obtain 1 ability, the ability can only retain a level of lv4】

【f: 5% probability to extract a Bloodline Item, Bloodline optimization without reservation】

Bai Cangshu thought for a moment and made his choice.

"Select c and e."
