Chapter 812: Strengthening Body
Ye Zhongming had seen set stats before. The Holy Army Coat had set stats; the modified Holy Army Coat did, too. Ye Zhongming studied them, and had to admit they were very good.
However, set equipment was limited in its use and subject to special restrictions. For example, the Black Solid Set was prepared for battle beasts. The modified Holy Army Coat became the specific set for certain jobs. Only then could the set be used to its biggest advantage.
But it was different this time. Ye Zhongming witnessed the strength of the country product.
Increase in strength, defense, recovery, earth element abilities, reducing earth element damage taken and effect of gravity... Just these passives alone would make any other equipment a top one.
These were all buffs, which meant that if the survivor got stronger, the buffs would increase, and the stats would never fall behind.
However, these stats were all gathered on one ability. Even Ye Zhongming was tempted when he saw it.
The stronger thing was the Earth Nurture effect. Every 1450 hours, you would obtain an earth gift.
This gift was special as their source was the earth itself, but it wasn’t easy to understand.
Any Earth Equipment did not have the ability to absorb energy. Since that was the case, how would it obtain energy? Where would you store it?
But this wasn’t the key to the problem. The key was that this energy could do many things.
For example, you can heal, recover mental energy, repair equipment, remove debuffs, and remove marks. If you didn’t choose to use these methods or if energy remained, you could use it to strengthen your body, increasing your basic stats.
This was the core of this ability!
Healing injuries and removing debuffs were often something only special potions or jobs could do. This ability could even increase your basic stats, making it a god technique!
Ye Zhongming compared and saw that the energy he got from Earth Gift had reduced by a fifth.
Ye Zhongming chose to heal his injuries to ensure that he was in his best state before he entered the next space. He would strengthen his body with the remaining power.
This power entered his body and nourished every cell. Ye Zhongming was addicted to that feeling of slowly becoming stronger. This was different from when you consumed the evolution potion. That was painful. If one’s body was a cup, evolution forcefully expanded it so naturally it didn’t feel good. This energy helped to thicken the walls of the cup and make it tougher.
These were two different methods.
But you could imagine that the pain from the next evolution would reduce with thicker walls.
Of course, this was just an added benefit. The real benefit was that Ye Zhongming’s body would become much stronger.
When Earth Gift strengthened Ye Zhongming and entered cooldown, Ye Zhongming could sense that his body was much stronger. It was in all areas; even his mental energy had increased.
Mental energy was Ye Zhongming’s strength. He ate the Brain Bug, cultivated the Soul Refining Technique, and had many jobs. He had an ocean amount of mental energy so mental energy increase wouldn’t seem so obvious as he had too much.
But this time, he felt an obvious increase. One could imagine how effective this energy was to all areas of his body.
Power, speed, agility, senses... After a series of tests, Ye Zhongming could confirm that his body had nearly reached the level of an eight-star evolved.
Even if there was a difference, it wasn’t much!
In other words, if the Chain Prisoner’s height was restricted to Ye Zhongming’s and both sides didn’t use skills, Ye Zhongming wouldn’t be afraid of it.
Ye Zhongming laughed and stepped into the next space.
