Players, Please Board the Train

He spoke quite proudly, but Xu Huo didn’t believe him.

”Super Evolution shouldn’t happen without any warning signs at all. It seems only your hands have undergone secondary evolution—why just the two hands? Do you really have no clues whatsoever?”

The abstract figure sneered, ”I’m already in this state—what use would lying to you be? Besides, even if I did know something, what could you do about it? Super Evolution cannot be replicated, just like each person’s characteristics. Even within the same profession, players’ characteristics can be completely different or even contradictory due to their personalities and experiences.”

Xu Huo pondered silently without responding.

A few seconds later, he heard him say, ”It’s normal that you can’t comprehend Super Evolution—the vast majority never experience that feeling.”

”To summarize simply, Super Evolution is the secondary evolution of Evolvers. The result of secondary evolution is also the enhancement of certain abilities, equivalent to having a higher degree of evolution than players with the same evolution rate. The gap between the two can be compensated for by the evolution rate.” Xu Huo put down his water cup and looked up at the figure in the painting. ”Right?”

Brother Tu’s current situation precisely validated his words.

”That’s only because my Super Evolution direction is physical! If you encountered other types, you’d die without even knowing how!” the abstract figure roared angrily.

”Other types, like controlling air?” Xu Huo retorted, then added, ”Since characteristics can achieve that, it’s merely enhancement.”

”Frog in a well.” The abstract figure snorted coldly and closed his mouth.Seeing that he didn’t intend to say more, Xu Huo put the painting away.

Brother Tu wasn’t being truthful—he definitely knew something but wasn’t willing to reveal it. But it didn’t matter; since Super Evolution exists, it’s not a secret, and there are many channels to inquire about it.

He didn’t need the evolution agents provided by the game. Besides obtaining item rewards, his purpose in entering dungeons was to search for the perfect evolution agent in various dungeon worlds. However, the perfect evolution agent isn’t easy to find. Whether it’s because Dr. Wu, who invented this agent, hid the technology, or because the Stellar Pharmaceutical Research Group controls this agent, ordinary players can only obtain the perfect evolution agent by luck.

The first perfect evolution agent he obtained was the result of Master Nise’s long-term search. He didn’t consider himself incredibly lucky to randomly discover the S-version Evolution Serum in any dungeon he entered. Therefore, Super Evolution is a new method—if he can’t find the evolution agent for a long time, this could compensate for his physical shortcomings.

The game bounty can be used once a month. Although he had previously initiated bounties in the bounty area, he hadn’t conducted any transactions.

Reopening the game panel, he first entered the previously initiated message in the bounty: ”Methods to reach game external partitions without using a return ticket.”

This time, the game’s response was also quick: 【The trading platform can provide detailed content for this information transaction, bundled with train tickets and entrance tickets. The required amount is two hundred thousand White Bills. Will the player proceed with the transaction?】

So it’s a bundle sale—no wonder a single piece of information is so expensive.

However, he didn’t plan to waste his bounty transaction on this information. Firstly, this information isn’t that urgent; secondly, the complete cost required for the specific method provided by the game should far exceed two hundred thousand White Bills, which he can’t afford for now.

After deleting the content, he posted a new bounty regarding Super Evolution.

【The bounty platform can provide an accurate definition of Super Evolution and five pieces of speculative information about evolution methods. The minimum transaction amount is fifty thousand White Bills. Will the player proceed with the transaction?】

Xu Huo chose to transact.

【Super Evolution is a qualitative change that occurs when an Evolver’s body evolves to a certain extent. It can be divided into two categories: self-control and object control.】

【Self-control primarily affects the human body itself, achieving physical changes by controlling genes. Common forms include freely controlling the expansion and contraction of skin, muscles, and bones, thereby altering height, appearance, and skin color. Continuous evolution can modify internal elements, self-generating toxins or anti-toxicity within a short time, or curing diseases and repairing organs.】

【Object control is achieved through resonance between the human body and certain objects, which can be refined to specific elements. It can move, synthesize, or destroy objects but cannot change the objects themselves.】

Simply put, it’s freely controlling one’s own body and freely controlling other things, enabling the accomplishment of some incredible feats without relying on items—closer to superpowers.

Is the highest form of evolution superpowers?

Xu Huo paused briefly before clicking open the evolution methods. The information was provided by other players.

【Player Tolerant Capacity: Consume evolution agents in large quantities, forcing the body to digest them. There’s a one-in-ten-million chance of success. Note: This method has a high mortality rate.】

【Player Doghead Won’t Submit: Interfere with wormhole cracks. Evolution is closely related to the appearance of wormholes. Jump in with your eyes closed—surviving and coming out means victory.】

【Player I Live Next Door to You: Extreme training—quantitative change leads to qualitative change. A friend personally tested it effectively—little bro underwent secondary evolution.】

【Player Abyss: Enter the sealed ruins of super player battles.】

【Player Coco: Be stabbed by space elements or time elements.】

The fifty thousand White Bills felt somewhat wasted.

These five extreme methods are difficult to verify. Even if external conditions are met, the specific operational methods are unclear for players, and the success rate cannot be estimated. Three of the five messages involve scopes far beyond his current player level. Even if achievable, the risks are exceptionally high.

Even the information provided by the game may not be correct, let alone these inaccurate high-risk pieces of information. Even if someone succeeded, the method would be hard to replicate.

At that moment, the game popped up a prompt:

【Based on the player’s item information, you have five items that can be replaced or merged for upgrade.】

【① ”Silent Coin” and ”Sound-Muffling Figurine” can be replaced and upgraded into one D-grade item.】

【② ”Super Running Shoes” and ”Lumberjack Rubber Boots” and ”Sturdy Knee Pads” can be replaced and upgraded into one D-grade item.】

Xu Huo’s gaze fixed, and he chose the latter.

【Congratulations to player Passerby for obtaining the D-grade item ”Heavy Steps.”】

【”Every step in life is important and should be heavy.” From the daily quotes of Carmen Fielder, praised as the ”Morning Star.” An Artificer from Platinum Eye deeply agreed and specially crafted a pair of boots doubled in weight to remind himself to stay grounded.】

【Remarks: Perfect footwear that is fireproof, waterproof, insect-proof, and poison-proof. The only drawback is its weight. Of course, due to its special material, ordinary swords cannot penetrate it either.】

The weight wasn’t a problem. Due to his characteristics, Xu Huo’s leg strength evolution far exceeded that of ordinary Evolvers. However, after the merge upgrade, the speed boost effect of the ”Super Running Shoes” was gone. Speed increase is very useful at critical moments, which is quite a pity.

Closing the game panel, he lay down on the bed, recalling two familiar names from the introduction: Carmen Fielder and Platinum Eye.
