Fatal Shot

Chapter 395: Life Protozoa, Symbiotic Stats!

“Awakened... Awakened... Awakened Force, Awakened talent. Does this mean that the awakened ‘Self-healing’ Force only corresponds to the Evolution Talent, and it is not related to the Fatal Talent at all?” Feng Luo frowned; his guess was not random.

One of his talents was an attack-type talent, while the other was a passive type enhancement talent.

The Self-healing ability was clearly not related to attacks. One could even say that the words “Self-healing” and “Fatal” were the direct opposite of each other.

Apart from that, the Force Guidance Chip notifications also hinted to Feng Luo that it was related to the Evolution Talent because the progress notification always appeared immediately after he received an “Evolution Talent has been triggered” notification.

Additionally, only the Evolution Talent was adjusted. As for the Fatal Talent, there was no change. All signs pointed to the fact that his character’s awakened Force had nothing to do with his Fatal Talent.

“Now, I wonder if I should be happy or worried about this.” Feng Luo shook his head. His original delight had started to dissipate, and his expression had calmed down.

He had two talents. Although the second talent, the Evolution Talent, came to him quite mysteriously, there was no doubt that it was a great advantage since other ordinary players only had one talent.

However, the bonus attribute of the Force was supposed to be related to a player’s talent, but Feng Luo’s awakened Force only affected his Evolution Talent.

The Force’s attribute affects the power of Force skills (Also the Legendary Grade Equipment’s Compatibility). Generally speaking, the Force of the awakened Evolution Talent should not have high compatibility with attack-type skills.

The “Self-healing” ability was only the Bonus Attribute of the Beginner Level Force. From the name, it was not hard to tell that there would be Intermediate Level Bonus Attributes or even Advanced Level Bonus Attributes. If the latter Bonus Attributes were all like “Self-healing,” and they were all non-attack-type attributes, then Feng Luo would not be happy.

After all, for a Sniper the Evolution Talent was not as useful as the Fatal Talent.

“Since I have two talents... Is it possible for both talents to awaken the Force?” This was a hypothesis that Feng Luo had on his mind.

However, he had no way of knowing for sure.

...

Feng Luo continued to scroll down and read. The next log that he read also left him dumbfounded.

[The Dark Life Protozoa has devoured the Intermediate Evolution Virus inside your blood. The number of virus within your bloodstream has greatly decreased. Estimated time of infection completion increased... The Dark Life Protozoa has completely devoured Intermediate Evolution Virus. Infection failed.]

“The Intermediate Evolution Virus infection failed.” Another unexpected turn of events that surprised Feng Luo.

He thought that it was because the Evolution Virus infection had succeeded, and he was kicked out of the game by the system. However, the content of his log indicated otherwise. The mutated T-virus did not succeed in its infection.

“That’s right, and if the infection had been successful, I should have already lost a level.” Feng Luo felt a little relieved and happy, but at the same time he was also kind of disappointed.

First, he was happy that the infection of the mutated virus did not succeed; otherwise, he would most certainly have died and lost a level. He would have also had other material losses, losing any one of the gears he was equipped with would have cost a fortune.

He was disappointed that the infection failed because it was natural that he would not be able to fuse with the Intermediate Evolution Virus.

If he succeeded in fusing the Evolution Virus, he would be able to raise his stats permanently. The stat increase of the Intermediate Evolution Virus would definitely be higher than the Primary Evolution Virus.

Since he did not fall into deep slumber due to the viral infection, what was the cause? What was the Dark Life Protozoa and how was it able to devour something as powerful as the mutated T-virus?

Feng Luo continued to read the next message.

[Your body is the victim of Parasitic Control and is controlled by the Dark Life Protozoa, you have entered a state of unconsciousness.]

“Dark Life Protozoa, Parasitic Control, unconscious...”

Was that the reason? Feng Luo frowned once more.

“Parasitic Control, and there’s also the word ‘dark’ in its name... It appears this Dark Life Protozoa isn’t something nice. Extract all information related to the Dark Life Protozoa from the log.” Feng Luo reorganized the log again and browsed through it quickly.

[Discovered Dark Life Protozoa inside your body. Current Species Level: Level 50 Commander. Current Status: Parasite.]

[The Dark Life has started to devour the Intermediate Evolution Virus inside your bloodstream. The Dark Life Protozoa began to mutate after devouring the Evolution Virus. The number of species has decreased...]

[Your body is the victim of Parasitic Control and is controlled by the Dark Life Protozoa, you have entered a state of unconsciousness.]

[The Dark Life Protozoa inside your body used the skill, Soul Draw, on the surrounding zombies. The Dark Life Protozoa’s species number has recovered, increased...]

[The number of Mutated Intermediate Evolution Virus inside your bloodstream has been devoured by the Dark Life Protozoa, number decreasing... The Mutated Intermediate Evolution Virus has been completely devoured. Infection failed.]

[Due to the awakened Force, your body’s cells are rejecting the Dark Life Protozoa...]

[The Dark Life Protozoa has evolved twice due to the influence of the Force and the Evolution Virus... The mutated Dark Life Protozoa has transformed into a new type of unknown protozoa. The unknown Life Protozoa has become “symbiotic” with your current state.]

[Congratulations, you’ve received your own Symbiotic Life Protozoa. The current species of Life Protozoa is yet to be named. Current Species Level: Level 1 Commander.]

[Your Symbiotic Protozoa created a combo skill. The skill is yet to be named.]

...

A series of notifications filled with information about the Dark Life Protozoa were bundled together. Even with Feng Luo’s mind, it was a bit too much. He quickly extracted the general proceeding that occurred.

Last night (In truth, it was around more than a month ago in the Withered Desert), a type of creature called the Dark Life Protozoa had latched on to his body; after that, it controlled his body and made his in-game character unconscious.

The creature also devoured the Intermediate Evolution Virus spreading throughout his body. But, after devouring the Evolution Virus, it had indigestion, and began to mutate.

After that, Feng Luo’s Force was awakened. His body also started to reject and attack the Dark Life Protozoa creature. As this happened, the Force also affected the Dark Life Protozoa and caused it to mutate further. The creature finally gave up and was no longer “Parasitic” but instead, had become “symbiotic.”

The system congratulated Feng Luo. The “Symbiotic” relationship with the creature was considered a good thing. After the unknown Life Protozoa became Symbiotic, the creature’s name had changed status and turned into something that allowed Feng Luo to investigate its stats and attributes in detail.

As for its stats, it completely shocked Feng Luo.
