Chapter 119: Power Grid Trap
Although the growth is slow, it is still clearly perceptible. This is far faster than their usual self-training and relying on time to naturally accumulate superpowers!
This is a great opportunity to leech off experience!
Among the Seventh Squad, my physical stats are the worst, so chances of joining such team operations will probably multiply in the future.
I can't just hold everyone back all the time, forcing you to split manpower to protect me during missions, right?
It's such a rare chance for loafing and leeching experience. Missing it would be a terrible waste!
If I can raise my physical data, not necessarily to match your level, at least enough to protect myself.
Su Xiaoke smiled. "It would also give our squad's overall strength a noticeable boost!"
Because both Su Xiaoke and Bai Yuxi belong to the Abnormality Type-Intelligence oriented-Brain Reinforcement category of superhumans, most of the X particles they absorb are funneled into brain enhancement, leaving the body side almost untouched.
Added to the fact that she only awakened four months ago, her physique is virtually indistinguishable from a normal person, hovering around 0.5 (the average for adult males, slightly above females).
Not every brain-reinforcement superhuman is like Bai Yuxi.
There are those who accidentally gain physique data even stronger than physical-type superhumans.
According to Su Xiaoke's own research, brain-reinforcement personnel's evolution speed in the body dimension is merely around one-tenth that of physical-type personnel and improves extremely slowly.
So even among other brain-reinforcement superhumans, it is unlikely they could become combat-oriented over-limit warriors like Bai Yuxi, who are naturally suited only as logistical strategists.
If her words are true and this near-cheating method can forcibly raise her physical stats, perhaps she could gain basic self-protection abilities as a logistics person who needs guarding.
At that point, with her as the strategist-type logistics member on the team, Luo Fei could even hand over command duties to Su Xiaoke while she focuses on coordinating combat. The team's overall strength would see a significant leap!
Though the members of the Seventh Squad have varied personalities, none are selfish.
And Bai Yuxi has no sense of how much super energy he can plunder... In super-evolution mode, he should not lack super energy for the time being.
Mutant rats, which aren't even worth a sliver of a tooth, are naturally of no concern to him when it comes to sharing super energy with companions.
After all, more than 90 percent of the super energy will be plundered by the strongest "information source" in the Seventh Squad, with the remaining 10 percent divided among the rest.
To Bai Yuxi, the mutant rats are negligible, yet to the others in the Seventh Squad they are not so easily dispensable.
Assume an F0.1 mutant rat holds 10 degrees of super energy.
Bai Yuxi plunders 9 degrees, leaving 1 degree to be shared equally among the seven, so each receives only about 0.143 degrees.
Yet when multiplied by the vast numbers of mutant rats, even such small figures become astonishingly large!
Especially under Bai Yuxi's Effect Field, everyone gains 100 percent lossless conversion.
Compared to their own pitiful 1 percent conversion rate, the super energy plundered through the Effect Field actually receives a 1.5-times amplification!
The members of the Seventh Squad exchanged glances.
Only then did they realize the current situation offered an excellent opportunity for leveling up!
After all, they rarely encountered such massive hordes of mutant creatures.
Moreover, Bai Yuxi's Effect Field had not yet revealed its activation principle and could not arbitrarily distribute experience as he pleased.
A good chance to farm 1.5-times experience value; it would be a shame to pass it up!
Deciding this, Luo Fei gave the order without hesitation.
In a relatively open cave, they chose a corner close to the exit and relatively safe.
They had Ji Tui and Jason guard Su Xiaoke while the combat-output members of the team began clearing out the mutant rats on the spot alongside Bai Yuxi.
Facing the mutant rats surging from the riddled holes throughout the cave, Bai Yuxi had been smashing them one punch at a time for some time when he suddenly thought this pace was too slow.
He simply had Xia Youyou lay down countless metal short thorns inside the cave and scatter all the unused regenerative material steel beads from their bodies across the ground, then punched upward!
A crackling explosion rang out. A streak of blue current shot from Bai Yuxi's arm and spread through the iron thorns and steel beads covering the floor!
Hundreds of F0.5 mutant rats within the trap range were electrocuted; they let out pitiful squeaks, bounced upward, and before they could land they were already dead!
The super energy particle mist boomed open, flickering with sparkling lights rushing toward the group.
After being blocked by Bai Yuxi up front and absorbing the vast majority, the remaining roughly 10 percent rapidly merged into the seven bodies.
Staring at the dataized personal physical condition real-time monitoring device on the personal information terminal, everyone watched their own super energy readings suddenly jump upward a noticeable amount!
Bai Yuxi's single punch had nearly equaled the extra super energy they usually gained after months of clearing missions, not to mention the share from natural accumulation!
Everyone could not help but grow excited. If this continued, they might level up another tier soon!
Unfortunately, the mutant rats seemed to possess a certain degree of group awareness.
After Bai Yuxi had trapped and slaughtered more than a dozen waves with this electric grid trap,
whether wiped out or hiding and refusing to emerge, hardly any mutant rats emerged from the holes again!
"Uh~"
Looking at the floor of the entire cave almost completely covered in corpses, numbering in the thousands.
Bai Yuxi shook his slightly numb arm, turned to look at Su Xiaoke. "All dead?"
Compared to the "particle bombardment fist," which consumed almost no energy,
this attack method converting super vitality inside the body into electrical energy still placed quite a heavy drain on him.
"Shouldn't it be all dead?"
Having tasted the sweetness, Willy stared longingly at the rat holes, regretfully saying, "Maybe they don't dare come out. Let's wait a little longer?"
"Those mutant rats from Fanlan Mountain weren't all wiped out!"
Su Xiaoke, standing at the back and firmly protected, thought it over. "If it were that simple, why would LDH have gathered so many over-limit warriors here?"
