I Have A Game Clone

122 Upgrade

Under Yun Moxiang’s guidance, Ning Shi uploaded the videos on his phone to the national secret vault’s website.

Even after he uploaded them, Yun Moxiang was still very excited. She never imagined that Ning Shi would be able to bring back such precious information after just a single trip to the insect world.

She was so excited that beads of sweat were forming on her forehead.

She looked at Ning Shi in admiration and said, “Consultant Ning, in my heart, you are the strongest Tier 8 awakener. The top young awakener in the Yunmeng Kingdom, Yi Shengjia, is definitely not as good as you!”

For a moment, Ning Shi couldn’t tell if she was speaking the truth or if she was just habitually flattering him.

To the officials and Yun Moxiang’s knowledge, Ning Shi was still at Tier 8, but his true strength definitely rivaled even the top overlord realm experts.

Ning Shi had no interest in being the strongest Tier 8 awakener. He waved his hand to dismiss her.

“Miss Yun, I’m going to start cultivating. If there’s nothing else, let’s talk some other day.”

After being asked to leave by Ning Shi, Yun Moxiang’s initially excited expression froze.

Just as she was about to get angry, she thought of his great contribution this time. As his liaison officer, she would also benefit from it. She calmed down.

She revealed what she thought was her sweetest smile and softly said, “Consultant Ning, I’ll take my leave first. If there’s anything you need, feel free to contact me. I’m available at any time!”

Ning Shi nodded and said, “Take care. I won’t see you out.”

Yun Moxiang left with a smile.

Ning Shi locked the door out of habit and then put the A-level spiritual crystals into his bag.

[Do you want to use an A-level spiritual crystal to upgrade your transformation-type ability to Level 7? Yes, No.]

It would take close to 10 A-level spiritual crystals for his strength-type ability to reach Level 9, and he didn’t have enough crystals at the moment.

Ning Shi didn’t want to save up spiritual crystals. Currently, improving his strength was his top priority.

He chose to increase the level of his transformation-type ability.

He selected “yes,” and a stream of energy entered his body. After circulating around within his body, the energy gathered near his heart.

Something like a Daoist inner core was formed near his heart.

The inner core was perfectly round, pure, and transparent. Energy surged within it.

The red tissues of the Thunder-armored Tyrannosaurus and the war insect were both contained within the inner core. Under the nourishment of the inner core’s energy, they began to glow brighter and brighter.

Ning Shi knew that this wasn’t an inner core, but a Core of Illusion born after his transformation-type ability reached Level 7.

Within the Core of Illusion, the transformation options would gradually become familiar with each other until they reached Level 9. They would obtain each other’s characteristics.

This was the only way the transformation options could possibly surpass their originals in terms of strength.

[Your transformation-type ability has been upgraded to Level 7. Based on your 99% compatibility with your transformation-type ability, the acquisition of traits has been upgraded to the acquisition of talents. You can directly choose a talent from the transformation options and integrate it into your main body.]

Seeing the system prompt, Ning Shi was overjoyed. So, he could directly choose a talent from his transformation options? There was one clear choice.

Ning Shi chose the war insect’s talent: war insect’s body (purple).

After choosing this talent, Ning Shi sensed his body structure quietly changing. Although his strength didn’t increase much, a sense of security welled up inside of him.

The most ridiculous thing about the war insects was that their bodies gave them unparalleled defense.

[War insect’s body (purple): You now possess an extremely strong war insect’s body. Physical defense increased by 10 times, elemental defense increased by 10 times, and energy recovery increased by 10 times. Note: Due to the body structure of the host and the war insect being different, the effect of the war insect’s body on the host cannot be compared with the genuine article.]

Ning Shi understood the note. After all, no matter how strong his physical body was, it would be difficult for it to be exactly the same as the actual body of a war insect. It was definitely impossible to achieve the ultimate defense effect.

Even so, Ning Shi was still very satisfied.

With his three talents, war insect’s body, super physique and undying, Ning Shi was simply an unkillable cockroach. He also had the talent of blade armor, which could reflect damage.

Ning Shi’s only weakness now was his low spiritual power. His only talent for spiritual power and soul defense was super physique, and it needed to be strengthened.

After his transformation-type ability reached Level 7, he had three options for transformation. Excluding the bloodline of the Thunder-armored Tyrannosaurus, Ning Shi could still choose two other options.

He needed to find a species with strong spiritual power to be his next transformation target.

Ning Shi hadn’t thought about which species he should choose.

He would continue to increase his strength in the meantime.

[Do you want to use three A-level spiritual crystals to upgrade your transformation-type ability to Level 8? Yes, No.]

With the consumption of three A-level spiritual crystals, Ning Shi’s transformation-type ability reached Level 8!

Not only did the number of transformed targets increase to six, but he also got two additional chances to obtain talents from his options.

The Thunder-armored Tyrannosaurus was a product of his bloodline, so its talent was the same as his own. Ning Shi was not interested in the other talents of the war insect, so he would save these two chances for now.

[Your transformation-type ability has been upgraded to Level 8. Your transformation skill has been upgraded to Level 8 and transformation endurance has been upgraded to Level 3.]

[Your transformation endurance has reached Level 3. When you transform, you can also restore your transformation skill at a certain speed.]

[Transformation Level 8. Shapeshifting options: 1. Thunder-armored Tyrannosaurus. Duration: 240 hours, 4 hours for high-intensity battles. 2. War insect commander. Duration: 8 hours, 1 hour for high-intensity battles.]

Ning Shi complained internally, “The war insect commander transformation still could only last for 8 hours. It seems that Level 8 is not high enough for it to be useful.”

The system immediately responded to his complaint.

[A normal Tier 8 transformation-type awakener can’t fully transform into a war insect. You’re able to transform into it because of your strong physique, 99% compatibility with your ability and your endurance.]

Seeing the system notification, Ning Shi instantly sobered up. The system was right. If an ordinary Tier 8 awakener could transform into an overlord realm war insect commander and fight for an hour, the transformation-type ability would have become the strongest ability in the world.

He was able to transform into a war insect commander at Tier 8. In addition to his high compatibility with his ability and transformation endurance, more importantly, his main body’s physique was very strong. The difference between him and his transformation target was not particularly large. The consumption of his special ability was relatively minor, which was why he could produce such an effect.

He only had one A-level spiritual crystal left, so he could not further improve his strength for the time being. He also hadn’t decided on his next transformation target yet. Ning Shi cast aside his stray thoughts and walked toward the research room.

He wanted to give Hao Meng the black crystal for her to study. While he was there, he wanted to share with her what he had seen and heard in the insect world.

As a high-level energy source on the same level as S-level spiritual crystals, the black crystal could reproduce all kinds of insects through the Life Pool and other mediums. It was a very powerful energy source.

...

If he could figure out methods to harvest this energy, it would be of great help to his strength.

Now, Ning Shi could only directly absorb the black crystal’s energy while undergoing transition in his war insect form.

The amazing thing was that the effect of direct absorption was not as good as reproducing the war insects with the black crystal first and then swallowing them.

Ning Shi couldn’t understand the logic behind it. What he wanted most was not to enhance the strength of the war insect body, but to enhance the strength of his main body.

Therefore, the study of the black crystal was imperative.

The person Ning Shi trusted the most was of course Hao Meng.

When he arrived at the laboratory, Hao Meng was doing research on the advanced stamina potion.

Currently, the stamina potion could only be fused with E-level spiritual crystals. Hao Meng was developing a way to fuse it with higher-level spiritual crystals to create an advanced version.

Ning Shi entered the laboratory and was about to explain his purpose for coming here to the receptionist when Mo Yu appeared out of thin air in front of him.

She said, “Please wait a moment, I’ll go and announce your arrival.”

Ning Shi nodded.

...

About a minute later, Hao Meng came out of the laboratory in a hurry, wearing a white coat.

Upon seeing Ning Shi, her eyes sparkled, and she couldn’t conceal her smile. She threw herself into Ning Shi’s arms.

Ning Shi suddenly felt a ball of warmth in his arms. A woman’s delicate fragrance hit him in the face.

Hao Meng hugged him tightly. Ning Shi could feel the excitement in her heart, and his heart was in turmoil.

She said, “Shitou, Ilya said you went to the insect world. You’ve been gone for more than a month. We had an agreement before that your embrace would be lent to me as an investment in the research lab. I didn’t expect you to run away. I’m going to collect my interest now.”

After Hao Meng finished speaking, she buried her head in Ning Shi’s chest, listening to his heartbeat quietly.

Ning Shi wasn’t stupid. He wouldn’t tactlessly reject a beauty’s friendship. He put his arms around Hao Meng and enjoyed her in his embrace.

The two of them cuddled for a while as if there was no one else around. Then Ning Shi said, “I have something important to tell you. Let’s find a place to talk.”

Hao Meng nodded, rubbing her head against Ning Shi’s chest a few times before straightening up.

Her face was red, but she looked extremely happy.

“Let’s go to my office.”
