This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 1538 - 663: The Path of Physical Strengthening_2

However, Mu You also noticed that not every time his energy limit decreased he received attributes and resistance rewards. This time, when the limit was reduced to 296, he didn’t get any reward; only when it reached 295 did he get one.

In other words, each point of energy only grants attribute rewards the first time it’s reduced. If the limit is restored using Divinity and then decreased by Chrysalis again, the reward won’t repeat.

This directly frustrated Mu You’s plan to exploit the bug: it’s impossible to endlessly swap attributes and resistance using Divine Crystal.

His current energy limit is only 297 points, which means he can at most gain 297 additional attributes and 29.7% resistance in the Divine system. freewebnσvel.cøm

"Less than 30%, huh..."

Mu You exhaled; nearly a third of Divine Arts resistance is far inferior to the savage’s physique. Yet, in battles within the Divine system, it’s enough to change many battle outcomes.

"Recovering each point of limit requires 1,000 Crystals; 297 points mean nearly 300,000 Divinity..."

This number is astronomical for ordinary players, but for Mu You, it’s no problem.

His current Divinity balance is over 200,000. Moreover, in his recent battle in the City of Order, he killed seven gods, all above 11-star. The Divinity refined from them alone gave him more than 1.2 million Crystals.

All this is Mu You’s personal spoils, with no need to share with others.

Additionally, as the key hero of this battle, he will receive a considerable Divinity bonus in the overall loot distribution — tens of thousands at least. Adding his assets, his Divinity stock exceeding two million is no problem.

Such a number is enough to support him to become a ten-star god, with about 700,000 remaining.

Spending 300,000 of this to increase attributes and resistance is absolutely worth it.

Of course, to avoid repeated investments, it’s best to consume Chrysalis in large quantities at once, reducing energy to zero, and then regain it all in one go using Divinity.

So Mu You plans to collect the Chrysalis he finds along the way, and once he has enough, consume them all at once.

This minimizes the impact on his battle capabilities.

With this mindset, Mu You continues on his path, carefully picking up the Chrysalis dropped by nearby creatures, especially high-quality Chrysalis.

With hope for improvement, this journey is no longer a mere expedition but a way to strengthen himself, and Mu You is instantly filled with motivation.

[... You arduously killed a Nine-winged Beast and picked up a high-quality Chrysalis from its corpse.]

[The continuous battles have exhausted your energy, plunging you into a weakened state...]

[Suddenly, a large number of poisonous insect beasts emerge, countless gray-white small-sized creatures surround you from all directions.]

[You hurriedly brandish your sword to break through.]

[These creatures suddenly no longer fear your slashes, each charged with Berserk intent, rush at you, engulfing you instantly...]

[You were bitten to death by thousands of small creatures...]

[You have died!]

[Your soul is drawn back by the Soul Lamp, returning under the Green Lamp amidst the grass.]

[You resurrect under the Soul Lamp, and cracks appear on the Resurrection Stone in your hand...]

"Emmm..."

Mu You is bewildered; what did he do to suddenly provoke the creatures?

Could the Nine-winged Beast he killed have been their leader? It shouldn’t be, as per his observations along the way, these creatures don’t seem to follow any hierarchy.

Unable to understand, Mu You concludes he’s simply unlucky, triggering some special lightning rod.

After waiting for a day at the outskirts of Jie Lin for the Resurrection Stone to re-form, Mu You sets off again.

This time, he deliberately chooses a different path.

The result...

[... The surrounding creatures suddenly go Berserk, you are overwhelmed by a mass of poisonous insects and beasts, and die tragically on the spot.]

[You have died! Your soul returns to the Green Lamp...]

"..."

The first time could be a coincidence; two times in a row indicates a problem.

Moreover, the locations of beast eruptions seem similar, occurring suddenly after he delves a certain distance in.

Mu You frowns, refusing to believe and presses on.

This time, he’s much more cautious, slowing greatly upon nearing the previous death distances, and constantly communicating with the Pocket Watch in his mind, ready to time travel at any moment.

[... As you cross a certain distance, the surrounding creature groups suddenly begin to Berserk, a torrent of poisonous insects and beasts rushing towards you...]

Mu You hurriedly rewinds time, maneuvers the character to retreat.

Soon the small creatures stop their rampage, cease chasing him, and gradually disperse.

This confirms the pattern for Mu You: as long as he delves a certain distance into Jie Lin, the surrounding creatures will immediately Berserk, either driving him away or killing him on the spot, decisively forbidding him to step further.

"Are the creatures here this exclusionary?" Mu You’s expression was odd.

He previously asked the savages for tips about Jie Lin, and their guidance was simple: the creatures on the first few layers are weak, just rush straight through, caution is only needed for threats from higher-level creatures in later layers.

It turns out such guidance is completely unsuitable for outsiders; who’d expect someone possessing five Divine Powers would be unable to even set foot within Jie Lin.

But then again, if the creatures here are truly this exclusionary, how did the Mechanic and the ancestors of the Fool manage to get inside?
