Chapter 2726: Internal Tester?

The bright moon hung high, and volcanic ash like snowflakes fell from above, mixing with the half-melted snow on the ground.

The night in Black Melt City was very quiet. Located toward the rear of Black Melt City was the Black Ring Fortress. Originally, there was only the Black Ring Fortress here, but because the population gathered more and more, it finally reached the scale of a city.

In the room on the seventh floor of the Black Ring Fortress, the fire in the fireplace was burning fiercely. Su Xiao, who had just finished dinner, was sitting cross-legged on a long bench near the fireplace. This long bench was covered with the fur of an extreme north bear, which was a trophy captured when fighting the Extreme Ice Lord more than ten years ago.

At this moment, Su Xiao was holding the personal terminal of "Death Battle." He pressed his thumb on the very center of the screen, like fingerprint unlocking. A honeycomb-shaped pattern appeared on the screen, and a string of text appeared.

"Thanks to the special sponsorship of the Void Bana Little People Race, thanks to the friendly sponsorship of the Wind Sea Continent (Transcendence), thanks to..."

"This company will permanently support the use of users belonging to the following factions..."

Su Xiao flipped down to look. Several very small patterns appeared side by side. First was a tree seal, then (blood red), (sky blue), £ (gray)...

The seals of Samsara, Apocalypse, Death, Sanctuary, Saint Light, and Watchman appeared, but only the seals appeared, without any text labeling.

"Please read the following game terms..."

Su Xiao flipped through it and skipped it. The "The final interpretation right of the above content belongs to this company" below was destined to be nonsense.

After refusing to sign the game terms, Su Xiao successfully logged into the game. Through preliminary viewing, he learned that the internal fairness of this game was quite good. As for external fairness, this was just a company after all, and it was very likely that it couldn't achieve complete fairness.

"Please formulate the monster..."

The initial template appeared. Modeling a monster, the body size was 2-5 meters, the weight was 120 kg-2700 kg. This involved muscle density, bone density, etc.

After successfully modeling, the monster would have four characteristics: Strength, Agility, Endurance, Energy.

These four characteristics were all from E to S, with S being the highest, but there was one point: each monster could only have one S characteristic. For example, if Agility reached S, then Strength, Endurance, and Energy could only reach A at most.

The monster's height and weight directly affected the four-dimensional attributes. Monsters with large body size and high weight had strong Strength and Endurance. Endurance involved the most factors, such as the time of high-intensity combat, resistance to blows, degree of load-bearing, etc.

What attribute the energy in the monster's body was was completely random. Only after completing cultivation could it be determined what characteristic energy that monster was.

If it was large body size + life characteristic energy, then it was a big hit, belonging to the type that could fight and withstand, and the recovery and regeneration ability was also extremely fierce.

If it was medium-small body size + lightning characteristic energy, it was an out-and-out arena killer.

The innate four-dimensional attributes, even if the monster was formulated in an extreme way, could only reach B in a single attribute, and the rest were all E.

Wanting to improve the monster, winning against opponents was enough, but there was one point: what direction the monster became stronger in was not something the player could control; it depended on the monster's initial characteristics.

From the game rules, wanting a certain characteristic of a monster to reach S was actually not difficult. This game was more about arena battles, and there wouldn't be a situation where one side was level 999 and the other side was only level 5.

No matter how strong the monster was, if the player manipulating it was weak, the possibility of defeat would still be very high. A monster with S-level characteristics facing a monster with B-level characteristics could still lose. There were no trash monsters, only trash players. After all, over there, it was a battle of flesh and blood flying, not two piles of data comparing each other.

Su Xiao first set the characteristics. He set the monster to 2.37 meters. This body size was enough. The bigger it was, the clumsier it was. In terms of weight, he set it to 150 kg. The overall shape was humanoid. At critical moments, it could run on all fours. This needed to be set with a corresponding body structure.

A long tail, with a tail blade at the tip, just like a sharp spear tip. But Su Xiao set this long tail to be splittable and separable from the main body. This was the trump card.

The head had full carapace protection, which was a light white carapace. At first glance, it looked like wearing a mask. Aside from the eye holes used for vision, there were only two rows of air holes at the mouth.

No need for sharp claws and foot claws; that would only hinder combat. The right arm bone was modified. Inside, there were two long knives. These two long knives had no handles and were not connected to each other, which would not affect the monster's arm movement.

These two long knives were usually stored in the forearm bone and upper arm bone. The front half could be ejected from the palm for attack.

Monsters could not wear external weapons, so Su Xiao used the monster's body to construct a long knife nearly two meters long.

The front two-fifths of the long knife were in the forearm and upper arm, while the rear three-fifths, including the handle structure, were composed of the long tail after it detached. The three were the same biological characteristic and energy, and could be spliced together instantly to form a long knife.

Modeling completed, Su Xiao chose to submit.

At the same time, in an unknown world, 275 meters underground, inside a laboratory.

This place was full of a sense of technology. Several staff members were sitting in front of virtual screens, looking at the 3D stereoscopic projections in mid-air. These were the structures of various monsters.

"When is the next Death Battle competition?"

"I don't know. Are you going to that shop tonight? I almost couldn't hold it last night."

"You two, youth is really good."

Several staff members wearing white coats talked and laughed. It could be seen that this place was not an underground force or an illegal organization, etc. They were all office workers with work status.

A blue email appeared. A young male staff member opened it and found that it was a monster modeling.

"2.37 meters, 150 kg. This kind of small guy would be flattened as soon as it goes on the field."

"This has nothing to do with you or me. You and I are responsible for cultivation. Don't forget, some small guys are also very strong. Heaven Punishment, Li Wang, Yunis—which of these monsters is not strong?"

"Those are special cases. Heaven Punishment and Li Wang are strong players, and Yunis has a stable structure. That 'Beauty'—no matter how many times you look at it, you will sincerely admire her designer. It is said that it was also a woman..."

"What nonsense are you talking about! This is player information."

The two talking immediately stopped. A cup of hot coffee was placed on the tray between the two. Seeing this, both of them knew it was bad. Their boss had come.

"Another person from over there is participating in the game."

An old man wearing a monocle spoke. His left eye was replaced by a machine.

"A strong person who is good at using knives? Reduce this monster by 30%. No, reduce the overall value of this monster by 70%. As compensation, increase the potential correction of this monster by about 75%-77%. If his monster is on the verge of death in the first three Death Battles, immediately use gravity to terminate the Death Battle, although this is unlikely to happen."

The mechanical-eyed old man smiled and spoke.

"Boss, this isn't according to the rules, reducing the player's initial values..."

"People from over there—if you don't reduce the initial values of the monster, the monsters of ordinary players will be killed instantly. If you bought the game qualification at a high price and were killed instantly by a player of the same level as you in the first battle, what would you do? In fact, the effect of reducing by 70% is not obvious. At the beginning, the company once thought that these special players used external access devices to use auxiliary devices to improve their control level, but later discovered that it was not."

"Uh~"

Following the staff's manipulation, the prototype of an embryo was gradually constructed. This monster was named Predator.

Su Xiao looked at the personal terminal in his hand. The countdown on it showed that 10 hours and 17 minutes later, the monster he formulated would complete cultivation. It was still an embryo structure.

In an alien space a few dozen meters away from Su Xiao, the Goddess of Luck was also holding a terminal. As a half-homebody enthusiast, she had long participated in this game. It was this game company that took the initiative to mail the game terminal to her. In simple terms, the Goddess of Luck belonged to the "internal tester."

Not only that, her monster was designed by a Feather Race person she had a good relationship with.

"Predator? Found it. It will take 10 hours to complete cultivation? I'll wait for you."

The Goddess of Luck smiled exceptionally happily because she suspected that she was no longer Su Xiao's opponent in reality, but in the game, she could definitely defeat Su Xiao. Her monster was named Yunis. Although it was called a monster, it was known for its beauty and elegance.

"Law-Exterminator, although I can no longer beat you in reality, I don't believe I'm not your opponent in the game."

Using one sentence to describe the current Goddess of Luck was the most appropriate: she was timid in reality, but she wanted to strike hard in the game.

In the Goddess of Luck's expectant gaze, Su Xiao put away the game terminal. His Devouring Core ability suddenly opened fully, and his gaze looked toward the direction of the Goddess of Luck. Just for a moment, the smile on the Goddess of Luck's face froze.

There was no need to duel in the game anymore. The Goddess of Luck was about to have an offline real-life PK with Su Xiao.

Bang!

Su Xiao disappeared from where he was. Wrapped in black-blue smoke, he pierced through space and arrived near the Goddess of Luck in an instant. Baja had long begun to lock onto the location of the Goddess of Luck. ===== CHAPTER 2727 =====
