Chapter 45 Struggle
Zhu Peng paused for a moment, giving Zhan Lan and Li Xiaoyi time to process what he had said, before continuing:
"But that alone is not enough, not only for you, but for me as well."
"We are still missing the most important thing."
Zhu Peng kept everyone in suspense and stopped talking.
Zhan Lan urged:
"Hurry up and tell me, what else is missing?"
"What time is it? You're still keeping us in suspense."
Li Xiaoyi chimed in, "Yeah, Brother Peng, hurry up and tell us!"
Zhu Peng said helplessly:
Have you all played video games?
"We're basically playing a game now, except we're playing a real-life game."
"We lack a trump card, a decisive and powerful means of destruction."
"Therefore, in addition to ordinary firearms, we also need a powerful high-tech weapon."
Li Xiaoyi said helplessly, "Do you even need to tell me? If I had a side quest, I would have just exchanged for the Gauss pistol."
"It's not that it doesn't exist."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Peng immediately smiled, and then said with great pride:
"Go to the Supreme God and search for a weapon called the Fusion Gun."
"This weapon can fire a high-heat energy ball the size of a basketball, which can generate temperatures of thousands of degrees or even higher upon contact with an object, and can almost melt any enemy."
"The most important thing is that the exchange price for this weapon doesn't require any side quests; it only costs 1000 reward points."
As Zhu Peng recounted the story, Zhan Lan and Li Xiaoyi's eyes grew brighter and brighter. The two quickly went to the main god to check the high-tech weapon called the Strong Fusion Gun.
It turned out that what Zhu Peng said was true. Seeing how excited the two of them were, as if they couldn't wait to exchange their money, Zhu Peng quickly stopped them and added:
"However, this gun is not without its drawbacks. It uses an energy source called a high fission battery, so one battery can only fire 20 rounds."
"The exchange price for a high fission battery is 200 reward points."
"So, based on our current reward points, we don't have a very good amount."
Li Xiaoyi listened and said indifferently:
"It's alright, Brother Peng. The Fusion Gun is so powerful, how many enemies could possibly be strong enough to make us use it?"
"Besides, we still need to exchange for regular guns later. We'll use regular guns against the mobs, and then we'll use the fused guns against the bosses."
Zhu Peng thought about it and agreed. A movie can only have a few bosses; most of the time, there are just ordinary soldiers.
Meanwhile, on Zheng Zha's side, a pillar of divine light descended from the sky, attracting everyone's attention.
A scroll-like object floated in front of Zheng Zha.
As soon as Zheng Zha reached out and touched the scroll in front of him, the scroll immediately turned into a group of red light particles and flew into his head.
Zheng Zha stood there, frozen for about two minutes, before slowly opening his eyes, his gaze revealing excitement.
Geralt asked, "What did you exchange for?"
Zheng Zha chuckled and said, "The vampire skill Crimson Flame can burn anything it touches, and it's also effective against spirit creatures."
At this point, Zheng Zha said with great satisfaction, "Since coming here, what I'm most afraid of is actually supernatural horror movies."
"Compared to monsters that I can see and hit, I'm more afraid of ghosts that I can't see and hit."
"If you encounter such a situation, it's truly despairing."
After hearing Zheng Zha's description, Li Xiaoyi pressed for more information:
"It can burn anything it touches, so your skill is like a mini-Amaterasu!"
Zheng Zha paused for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Amaterasu?"
Zhu Peng said, "He's talking about a skill from Naruto."
"oh oh!"
Zheng Zha suddenly realized, "Let me show you. Now we can finally mobilize the vampire energy."
After speaking, Zheng Zha followed the method of releasing the Crimson Flame skill, first mobilizing the vampire energy from the blood core, then manipulating the red vampire energy to circulate throughout his body, and deliberately avoiding the lower abdomen and dantian area.
"Holy crap!"
With a gasp from Li Xiaoyi, Zheng Zha's entire body was engulfed in a layer of blood-red flames, looking both vivid and eerie.
At this moment, Geralt cast the Quen sign, encasing himself in a layer of orange armor, and then reached out to touch the red flames on Zheng Zha's body.
Upon seeing this, Zheng Zha quickly backed away in fright and said, "Brother Geralt, I..."
Geralt said, "It's alright, I'll test the power of this skill for you. With the Supreme God here, it'll be fine."
Hearing Geralt say that, Zheng Zha was relieved, and then stared intently as Geralt's hand touched him.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle..."
Crimson flames burned on Geralt's hand, but were temporarily blocked by the armor formed by the Quen sign.
The orange armor emitted strange noises as it burned in the crimson flames, and its color gradually dimmed.
However, with Geralt continuously channeling magic to maintain the Quen sign, the red flames were unable to break through its defenses.
However, the next second, Zheng Zha swayed, and the red flames covering his entire body disappeared instantly.
"No, the vampire energy is almost depleted."
Zheng Zha felt somewhat helpless as the vampire energy in his blood core was almost depleted.
Geralt frowned slightly upon seeing this, and then said:
"Only three minutes have passed. With your current vampire energy, it's best to save this skill for a crucial moment."
Zheng Zha nodded in agreement, saying, "That's what I think too. I'll keep this skill as my trump card."
"I didn't expect that using this skill would consume so much of my vampire energy."
"Moreover, unlike internal energy, vampire energy doesn't have its own circulation path and can be restored through internal energy cultivation. I can only wait for it to recover slowly."
At this moment, Zhu Peng, who was standing next to him, asked, "Aren't you a vampire?"
Zheng Zha paused for a moment, then said, "Yes!"
Zhu Peng continued, "Then why don't you drink blood to recover? Isn't it common knowledge that vampires drink blood?"
Zheng Zha paused for a few seconds, then asked uncertainly, "Blood-sucking...human blood?"
Then, without waiting for Zhu Peng's reply, Zheng Zha said with difficulty, "I can't accept it."
Zhu Peng scoffed, "It's not like I'm asking you to harm people and suck their blood. You can exchange for it directly here at the main god's place. What can't you suck?"
"Furthermore, if drinking blood can truly restore your vampire energy, it could help you turn the tide in crucial moments!"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha's expression changed, and he remained silent for a moment.
At this moment, Geralt said, "Actually, what Zhu Peng said is not wrong. As long as it doesn't harm people by sucking their blood, it's not impossible to try the blood exchanged here by the God of War."
"In my world, vampires can not only restore their energy by drinking blood, but also heal their injuries."
"Therefore, the vampires here at the main god's place should also be able to recover by drinking blood."
