The System Is One Year Ahead Of Schedule, But It’S Not The End Of The World Yet!

Chapter 45: New Exotic Ability!

Terrifying pain radiated continuously from Chen Mo's head, causing him to roll around in bed in agony.

His pain was also known by his pet, Xiao Huang, due to their soul contract.

Xiao Huang, who had woken up early in the morning and was playing casually in the living room, suddenly sensed that his owner was in immense pain.

It quickly ran into Chen Mo's bedroom and jumped onto his bed, expressing concern with soft whimpers, and licked Chen Mo's cheek with its small tongue.

Chen Mo sensed Xiao Huang's worry and forced a smile as he patted Xiao Huang's head, saying, "I'm fine."

Fortunately, the generation of the Origin Core only took a minute, so the pain would only last for a minute.

As the Origin Core finished generating, Chen Mo was left lying on the bed, too weak to move, only able to take deep breaths repeatedly.

Feeling Chen Mo's pain come to an end, Xiao Huang immediately wagged its tail happily.

Although it didn't understand what had happened, as long as its owner was fine, it was happy.

Looking at the little guy's human-like appearance, Chen Mo, who had recovered somewhat, couldn't help but laugh and say, "You really look like a Spirit Beast."

Seeing Xiao Huang's appearance, Chen Mo suddenly remembered that he still had a Mutant Beast Advancement Pill that he hadn't used.

After all, the apocalypse hadn't arrived yet, and he hadn't encountered a single Mutant Beast. They were all just ordinary animals, so he had overlooked this item.

He couldn't help but ask the system, "System, can this Mutant Beast Advancement Pill be given to animals that haven't become Mutant Beasts yet?"

[System prompt: Yes, it can. The initial mutation energy obtained by ordinary animals evolving into Mutant Beasts through the invasion of the biochemical virus and the contamination of extraterrestrial demonic energy is equivalent to taking a Mutant Beast Advancement Pill.

However, due to the influence of the apocalypse environment, they can naturally evolve into Mutant Beasts. If the Advancement Pill is artificially provided for animal evolution, it would be a waste of the first Mutant Beast pill. After all, giving a Mutant Beast pill to a unit that has already become a Mutant Beast can directly elevate it from Rank One to Rank Two.]

"This pill is so powerful? Can humans take it?"

[System prompt: I'm sorry, this item is only suitable for animal creatures. Humans need to take the 'Rebirth and Bone-changing Pill,' and plants need to be watered with the 'Spiritual Plant Evolution Liquid.']

"Does the system sell these things?"

[System prompt: Yes, but all of them are items with increasing prices, which will increase with your purchase frequency.

The basic selling price of a Rebirth and Bone-changing Pill is 50,000 survival points.]

"I see, then forget it."

Chen Mo asked mainly because he was thinking about whether he could exchange some of these items in the future to enhance the realm of the people he cared about.

If they were cheap, it would be great to enhance himself as well.

But now the items were not cheap, and he had survival points from the system that he could directly use to enhance his attributes. There was no need to exchange for these increasingly expensive items to enhance himself.

As Chen Mo's third Origin Core condensed, the third Origin Core automatically awakened its Exotic Ability because his rank had reached Rank One Metahuman.

After comforting Xiao Huang, Chen Mo called up the system interface to check his newly awakened Exotic Ability.

Of course, this Exotic Ability was already his own. He just needed to sense it to know what his Exotic Ability was, but reading the system's description would make it clearer.

[System Prompt: Congratulations, your third Origin Core awakening was successful. Since your Metahuman rank has reached Rank One, your third Origin Core has awakened your own Exotic Ability. You have obtained the Exotic Ability 'Virtualization,' which is evaluated as a C-level Exotic Ability!]

[Virtualization]: You can make your body virtualize, allowing you to pass through any physical entity. The duration of virtualization depends on the rank of your Exotic Ability. Although this state is not susceptible to physical damage, it can still be attacked by non-physical energy, so please be cautious.

"Wow, another anime-like skill. Now Old Wang next door will have an even easier time," Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh.

But jokes aside, this ability seems to be just virtualizing oneself, seemingly not very useful.

However, in reality, it is quite useful. It's only evaluated as a C-level ability?

Chen Mo was somewhat surprised.

This is a godlike skill for evading attacks.

Upon seeing this ability, Chen Mo immediately thought of an anime called "Memory Ninja," where there was a character who could virtualize their body, freely switching between the real and virtual states, controlling the pace of battle. It was quite powerful when one had complete control over offense and defense.

However, after carefully reading the introduction to Virtualization, Chen Mo discovered that this ability was not as useful as he had expected.

This Virtualization is slightly different from the one in "Memory Ninja." Although this Virtualization ability is immune to physical damage, it can still be attacked by non-physical energy.

In reality, there may be few abilities like this, but once the apocalypse arrives and various Exotic Abilities emerge, this type of ability will probably be quite common.

So, this Virtualization ability is not as useful as it seems.

There is also one thing that Chen Mo is concerned about: when in a state of Virtualization, if his body is partially inside a physical entity, what will happen if he suddenly materializes?

If, when materializing, his body remains in the area where it overlapped with the physical entity, it could be used as an assassination technique.

For example, while in a state of Virtualization, reaching into the opponent's chest and then materializing to crush their heart.

Of course, whether materializing in a state where his Virtualization body overlaps with another entity would also cause catastrophic damage to his own body is something that needs to be experimented with first.

After all, it is also possible that when his palm is virtualized and materializes, it will merge with the opponent's body.

Thinking this way, Chen Mo immediately picked up the doll he had previously bought as a gift for Lin Xinru. Even if his hand materialized inside it, there would be no harm.

With this in mind, Chen Mo immediately began to try to extend his palm into the doll.

After activating the Virtualization ability, the experience was quite strange. When Chen Mo's right hand extended forward in a state of Virtualization, no matter what physical entity it touched, it felt like touching air, extremely ethereal.

As Chen Mo's right hand delved deeper into the doll's abdomen, he immediately had a thought and materialized his right hand again.

As a result, none of the collisions Chen Mo had anticipated between his palm and the cotton inside the doll occurred. As he materialized his palm, it was as if it had collided with an invisible wall, and it was directly bounced out of the doll's body. After being trapped in the air, his palm finally completed its materialization.
