Wasteland Border Inspector

[Current Rank: lv.2 Newcomer (67.9/100)]

[Life Level: 1]

[Skills: Heart-Protecting Fire, Zeye Physique, Fish Mimic State, Snake Power]

[Ability]: Scorching Eagle Coexistence State (Shaping)

[Not yet unlocked...]

[Evaluation: The life level is a double-edged sword. It will bring you stronger basic indicators, and it will also bring incredible enhancements to the various skills you master. However, it will also attract the attention of special indigenous creatures, launching attacks on you. Try to uninstall the Extraordinary ability; a steadfast Collector never fears loss. For the sake of exploring more places and gaining more rewards, some sacrifices are worthwhile!]

...

The information boost brought by the Immortal Objects this time is the highest ever.

A full 18.2 of information, directly pushing the rank progress beyond the 50% mark, reaching 67.9%.

However, the changes in the evaluation below the panel made Cheng Ye vaguely understand that the trigger of the Immortal Object influence this time might be inseparable from the improvement of the life level.

But now, already within the influence range of the Immortal Objects, even uninstalling Extraordinary abilities is of no avail. He can only temporarily press this matter to the bottom of his heart.

Calming his mind, Cheng Ye turned his gaze to the "Heart-Protecting Fire," after acquiring two new abilities from Liu Kun, this talent finally had significant changes:

[Heart-Protecting Fire (lv1; Extraordinary Talent)]

[Description]: It is rumored to take root and grow in magma...

[Growth Value]: Lv1 (15.27%)

[Growth Method]:...

[Current Effectiveness]:...

[Note]: The growth value is influencing the Scorching Eagle and causing changes, which will need some time to complete

...

The growth value, which was previously less than a single digit, soared to 15.27% this time. Although the core description on the panel is still locked, a vital note has been added below.

Apparently, the growth of Heart-Protecting Fire is feeding back into the Scorching Eagle Coexistence State.

Surpassing Heart-Protecting Fire, Cheng Ye looked towards the most changed "Scorching Eagle Coexistence State":

[Scorching Eagle Coexistence State (Shaping)]

[Description]: After activating the ability...

[Current State]: Shaping

[Currently Shareable Skills]:

Scorching Eagle Swallowing Fire (Lv1, Perfect, can ingest small amounts of flame, to heal own or symbiont’s injuries)

Hovering (Lv1, Perfect, gain temporary hovering ability when falling from high altitude, reduces fall damage)

Scorching Eagle Heart Fire (Lv1, Rare, when the symbiont’s heart power is excessively consumed, the Scorching Eagle can replenish a small amount of heart power by swallowing fire)

Eagle-Killing Fire (Lv1, Rare, symbiont’s contact attack deals minor flame damage, capable of dual damage to physical and spirit body levels)

[Currently Shareable Attributes]:

Life +10.45% (based on the current state of the symbiont)

Strength +25.57% (based...)

Speed +15.19% (based...)

Defense +45.24% (based...)

[Currently Shareable Abilities]:

Charcoal Fire Power (Lv1, Rare, minor increase in resistance to low temperatures)

Earth Fire Power (Lv0, Perfect, symbiont’s contact attack deals minor earth fire damage)

Firewood Power (Lv1, Rare, minor increase in resistance to high temperatures)

...

After integrating Liu Kun’s abilities, the first to undergo drastic changes were the shared attributes.

The previously single-digit bonuses leaped to double digits, especially the defense bonus, approaching nearly 50%.

The skill bar also added two perfect-level and two rare-level skills. Earlier in the air, taking eight consecutive steps across nearly thirty meters, was thanks to the perfect-level hovering boost.

"This feeling..."

Cheng Ye couldn’t help recalling the sensation when the Coexistence State began, his body seemed filled with force, swelling, an unprecedented power.

No matter if he returns to the water now, he has the confidence to face the tentacles of the Demon Eye Sponge head-on.

Summoning a flame from the Spiritual Body Space, the little fellow was already slightly sleepy due to recent rapid growth, and after absorbing a large amount of energy, had now completely fallen asleep. Its size hadn’t changed much, just with feathers appearing denser, and the golden light representing heart fire atop its head becoming more brilliant.

As for the upgraded fire basin, considering the Scorching Eagle wouldn’t need energy replenishment in the short term, Cheng Ye saved his charging value and didn’t summon it to check the effect.

After sorting through all the changes on his personal page, Cheng Ye returned to the main panel, lightly tapping his fingertip, pulling up the notifications he hadn’t carefully looked at earlier.

Lines of text flashed by.

[Collector detected dispersing biological information, auto-absorbing...]

[Absorption complete, new biological entry: Demon Eye Sponge]

[Absorption complete, characteristics of Ten Thousand Orders Land Conch increased]

"As expected, the Immortal Object shard must be either inside this sponge body, or below the cave it blocked."

With the exact information, Cheng Ye immediately opened the biological guide.

At the very bottom of the guide, the entry for "Demon Eye Sponge" was prominently listed, the entire entry in red.

Indicating it was originally an Extraordinary Creature in the S3 period, now having become a powerful Destruction Level infection source after being infected by the S4 virus.

[Demon Eye Sponge]

[Description]: Formed by "special extraordinary sponge creatures" infected by a mutation virus, it’s huge with multiple tentacles, highly aggressive.

[Current Parasitic Probability]:

Direct contact (pollution probability: 100%)

Spiritual contamination (life level reduction; Heart-Protecting Fire resistance reduction; no risk)

[Currently Recorded Characteristics]:

Cotton Room* (4.59%)

Common Silk Pattern* (5.57%)

Passage Silk Pattern* (10.17%)

Commanding Silk Pattern* (0.19%)

Nature Silk Pattern* (0.02%)

Earth Element Cotton Pattern* (0.007%)

Water Element Cotton Pattern* (0.0001%)

Rule Eye* (2.75%)

Grid Eye* (1.33%)

...

"Damn, this Demon Eye Sponge has so many... characteristics?"

Cheng Ye glanced over the list of characteristics, momentarily stunned.

Since activating the guide function, even the previously encountered golden legendary creatures only had five characteristics in total, but the Demon Eye Sponge in front had nine recorded characteristics, of which those marked with "Silk Pattern" accounted for six!
