Chapter 34: Chapter 31 The Wonderful Uses of the Extraordinary Spark
Lu Yuan lay on the ground, paralyzed for a few minutes, feeling as though he had reached his limit. Having killed a lizard and done so much work, he really didn't want to move even a toe.
But his entire body was sticky with fluid, the sweat and blood had turned sour, so in the end, he chose to muster his energies and went outside the camp to clean himself off.
After bathing, he found himself faintly feverish, which was not a good sign.
When sickness came knocking, Lu Yuan's only option was to tough it out with his body and pray it wasn't anything serious.
He took out some lizard meat and fed it to the she-wolves (aside from Old Wolf, the other wolves were not allowed inside the shelter).
"Now I'll have to trouble you to stand watch through the night. I'm going inside to sleep."
"I really need a good sleep... might be for over ten hours."
The she-wolves wagged their tails happily.
They served their new Wolf King loyally and with great pleasure.
"With these guys on guard outside, there shouldn't be too much trouble... they'll make noise if there's a danger."
Lu Yuan actually felt somewhat relieved that he had companions.
Even if these companions couldn't talk, were not very intelligent, and belonged to the lower echelons of the Pangu Continent's society, at least they were reliable in critical times.
He closed the metal door and took a small blue pill.
Lying on a bed laid with thatch, he fell into a deep, heavy sleep.
This sleep was so profound that it seemed as if he slept from the time Pangu created the heavens and earth, until the end of the world.
Once, Lu Yuan had a grand dream: to sleep until he naturally woke up and count money until his hands cramped.
Now, both of these dreams had truly come true!
He could sleep as long as he wanted and had endless gold...
"If there was a soft girl here, then I'd really be a winner in life."
Lu Yuan stretched languorously, noticing that the day was well advanced outside.
After checking that Old Wolf was indeed fine, Lu Yuan started to worry about himself; his head was in great pain, his temples pulsated non-stop as if they were about to burst.
His temperature could be between thirty-nine and forty degrees Celsius, and he felt indescribably unwell all over.
First, he identified his own attributes.
[A boring human who has been through a bloody battle and is recovering from hidden injuries.]
[Disease status: Influenza (early stage)]
At first, Lu Yuan thought it was no big deal, patted his chest, and said to himself, "It's just the flu, no big problem... What? The flu! My life is over!"
Don't think the "flu" is a small illness; in ancient times, the flu had another name, "epidemic".
"Epidemics" were a type of plague, and it was not unusual for entire villages to be wiped out by them!
[Shape: 4.4-5.5]
[Qi: 3.4-4.6]
[Spirit: 4.8-5.2]
[Extraordinary Level: 1.]
[Extraordinary Abilities: Different Space, Pioneer's Eye, Explorer's Eye, Storage Space, Extraordinary Spark, Eternal Body.]
[Evaluation: Why does this boring human have six abilities? Regardless, this human is still a rookie who has just stepped out into the world, nothing to be proud of.]
The three-dimensional attributes showed fluctuations, likely due to the disease.
Lu Yuan always felt that the attitude of these eyes seemed to have improved a bit? Many abilities, are you not convinced?!
"I need to find a way to treat myself. Otherwise, with no one to take care of me, the disease might get worse."
"The principle of the blue pill is to enhance immunity, the effect is good against bacteria, and it should also have some effect against viruses, right?"
"…"
So, what other methods are there?
Lu Yuan remembered the "Extraordinary Spark" in his mind.
The Extraordinary Spark, a very special ability that one could cultivate.
Since it could continuously enhance attributes, it could also be used to strengthen the immune system and combat diseases.
The documentation of the Meida Civilization also contained knowledge of this aspect.
Lu Yuan calmly closed his eyes to rest his mind and gradually saw a tiny, leaping red spark hidden in his mind. It was about the size of a fingertip, emitting a gentle glow.
This was the Extraordinary Spark.
When he saw it, Lu Yuan felt a sincere sense of closeness.
Once the Extraordinary Spark was ignited, it accompanied one for life, only extinguishing when one died, truly confirming the saying "when a person dies, the light goes out."
Lu Yuan took a deep breath and began to visualize his own body.
Starting from the beating heart, moving to the twitching muscles, then to the expanding and contracting lungs, the organs he could sense were very vague.
Fortunately, he knew that the influenza virus mainly attacked the lungs, respiratory tract, nose, and other parts, so he slowly moved the Extraordinary Spark to these organs.
The Spark emitted waves of warm power, continuously nourishing these cells.
After three hours, Lu Yuan opened his eyes again and gently exhaled a breath of stale air from his chest.
He was drenched in sweat!
His head no longer hurt, and his high fever had turned into a low-grade fever; he felt a hundred times more relieved!
"Phew... what an awesome ability! Just half a day, and the flu is mostly recovered. In the past, it would have taken at least a week," Lu Yuan excitedly clenched his fists.
"No wonder, only a civilization that has popularized the Extraordinary Spark is qualified to explore the Pangu Continent."
"Otherwise, an epidemic could cripple an army."
Immediately after, he began to study the new ability "Eternal Body."
This was a passive ability, which couldn't be actively used. It was the Unique Milestone reward for hunting the Fire Lizard across five levels, with the effect of [significantly increasing lifespan, gaining limb regeneration ability, maintaining ability values at their peak, and preventing aging before the end of one's life.]
Humans as a species strictly adhere to the principle of "use it or lose it."
Progress is difficult, requiring years of training.
Yet regression is simple, and can even happen after just a few days of inactivity.
The saying, "a day without practice and your hands slow down, two days without practice and your skill halves, three days without practice and you're an outsider," speaks to this very effect of "use it or lose it."
But with the "Eternal Body," one's physical functions would remain at their peak for a long time. As long as you trained up, there won't be much regression.
"Stacking passive abilities like this, there's indeed the potential to become a superman."
It couldn't be denied, this was a powerful ability, one that could save a lot of training time.
Furthermore, Lu Yuan vaguely suspected, had his lifespan increased somewhat?
Was his appearance fixed?
He was only 24 years old now and still very handsome.
If his physical form was fixed, that would be indescribably awesome!
"Even at 1000 years old, I could still perform magnificently (hard erection), the girls would all say they couldn't handle it."
The headache was gone, the depression was gone, but having too much energy always brought other worries.
"Perhaps, the duration of Wise Mode could be shortened too... my regenerative ability has improved, it should..."
Lu Yuan showed a satisfied smile, then thought of something else and sighed sadly, "But as long as I don't return to Earth. Even if I live to be a thousand years old, I can only masturbating, which is so tragic!"
