Chapter 201 Epilepsy

Yi Chen held on to his weak body, widened his eyes, and looked up at the kind-faced Duke.

“Duke, what is this chain?”

“My original intention was to use it to increase the authenticity of the gambling game and increase the pain level. I was ready to put it away after using it. Who knew that you kid actually absorbed this thing directly.

Just like the gentleman’s leather you wear on your body, which comes from the [Useful Leather Field],

This iron chain was also produced in a specific epidemic area - [Painful Monastery], but this thing will never be released to the outside world, and will not be sold even at a high price. It was something I picked up by 'accidental' passing by the area where the monastery is located.

I didn’t expect that your body would match the iron chain so well. I can only forget it and regard it as a gift to you. "

 “This…thank you, Duke!”

This is incredible, it directly increases Yi Chen's "sickness characteristics" by a large level, making it more consistent with his physical body.

Yichen even wanted to return to Zion as soon as possible to show off to his second mentor, Zed. He even imagined the wonderful scene of beating Zed with an iron chain.

 “There’s no need to thank me, after all, this thing is a bit dangerous.”

 “Will it cause harm to my body?”

“No…it doesn’t mean this kind of danger, but the chain itself will cause danger. After all, I picked this thing up and didn’t report it to the monastery.

If the perverted guys there find out that you have been bound to the iron chain, they may have "unruly" thoughts about you.

Of course, as long as you return to your side of the world, there is still nothing the monastery can do for the time being. "

 “I’ll be careful about this.”

It felt like Yi Chen had stolen someone else's goods and had them sewn into his stomach. Once he was found by a big gang that had lost the goods, it would naturally not have a happy ending.

The Duke also reminded him, "If you encounter a guy in weird clothes who looks miserable, don't think about anything and run away immediately."

"good."

 After some communication to understand the origin of the iron chain, we came to the most important topic - [Relics].

Due to the victory in the bet, the 500 trading points that Yi Chen used to bet have been doubled to 1600, which is just enough to buy the mysterious relic (three attributes) that focuses on intelligence, followed by physique and senses the queen.

“Due to the principle of transaction, I have to ask you about your purchase intention again? Since the source of this relic is illegitimate, you need to pay a fee before you can view the detailed information.

If you want to regret and return the item, a 10% handling fee plus a 500-point sealing fee will be charged.

 Are you sure you want to buy this relic? "

"Sure."

The 1,600 trading points were completely cleared, and the Duke delivered the gold box containing the relics and its matching key.

 Click!

 When I opened the box, there was no golden light, nor any diseased aura leaking out, nothing happened.

There is only one alien-style biological Rubik's Cube stored inside.

Just by observing from the outside, you can find many mechanisms and pivots in the Rubik's Cube. Simply touching the correct mechanism point can cause the Rubik's Cube to change its shape.

Each face of the Rubik's Cube is engraved with "sulcal circuits" similar to those of the brain. If you look carefully, you may even have the illusion of being in a maze.

Just by looking at this Rubik's Cube, one can clearly feel the complexity and variability within it, which even made Yi Chen wonder whether this thing was the brain manifestation of a special disease.

 Soon a series of ancient living writings were discovered on the inner layer of the gold treasure chest, introducing detailed information about the relic.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

Synopsis: Once upon a time, a kind of shell-like virus that did not actively infect the human body was floating in various spaces in the old world, and was called "epilepsy shell".

 They tend to be attracted to people seeking knowledge, especially around individuals who are engaged in intense, prolonged brain activity. If the seeker fails to detect the gathering shells and continues learning,

The virus will be pulled at a close distance, attach to the surface of brain tissue, and infect nerve cells.

 The infected person will generally not notice it, and will become more obsessed with the pursuit of knowledge, gradually forgetting sleep, eating, and even the most basic biological instincts.

 He continued to study until his death.

Once the host dies, the shell will return to the environment in a free state.

After dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of cycles, when the epileptic shell absorbs enough knowledge from the host, it will completely occupy the body of the last parasite, and slowly evolve into an open-source level [epileptic].

However, the process of becoming a lunatic is very long and boring, ranging from ten years to hundreds of years.

 After passing through the early stage of evolution and forming self-awareness, Epileptic Shell will control the host's body to perform a behavior to kill boring time - [Box Manufacturing].

Unconsciously, their epileptic brain structures are integrated between the boxes, using mazes, mechanisms and unique deformations as carriers to form a 'biological Rubik's Cube' that contains their thinking framework.

 Generally speaking, the Rubik's Cube will be destroyed by the hands of the lunatics when they take shape, because no one is willing to expose their own thinking patterns.

Only in rare special circumstances can the Rubik's Cube be preserved.

 …

 “What a long introduction! Is it the product of some kind of virus in the old world…”

Yichen could sense a potential danger from the words in the introduction,

However, this kind of relic that is directly related to the brain also matches the profession. There should be no relic in the world that is more suitable than the "Madman's Box".

“Duke, is this thing likely to cause trouble?”

“As long as you return to your side of the world, there will be no trouble.

 In addition, during the return period, do not assemble or manipulate the Rubik's Cube out of curiosity. As long as it stays in my golden treasure chest, there will basically be no problems.

If you encounter some kind of creature wandering in the air with an obvious brain structure, evacuate immediately at full speed, and do not have any brain contact with them. "

 “A lunatic?”

"Yes, although the number of these guys is small, they are all elites among the elites. They are quite dangerous existences for you... If you are not careful, your entire brain may be deconstructed by them."

"knew."

 Click! Yi Chen immediately re-covered the golden treasure chest and swallowed the key into his body.

 This relic is different from the umbilical cord in the body. Yi Chen has to take it back and study it carefully.

Furthermore, he currently only has his intelligence reaching the limit, and he still needs a period of special training before he can reach the limit of his three attributes.

 After putting away the gold treasure box, Yi Chen knelt down on one knee and expressed his most sincere thanks to the Duke.

Yi Chen knew very well that the so-called gambling game might not be as difficult as expected, and this gambling game was of great significance to Yi Chen, allowing him to face the past and find himself.

“We just made a fair deal, no need to thank you.

 If nothing happens, you two can probably consider returning. After all, the world on our side has been [locked]. Staying here won't do you much good.

 I have to go back [to the depths] and continue doing business.

 Hope that the two of you can bring more interesting trading behaviors next time we meet. "

“Wait, Duke, I have one more thing to ask.”

The Duke is very happy now. He is going to take the gambling video to the depths and sell it, and he will definitely make a lot of money. Yi Chen’s additional questions were answered for free:

"What's up?"

“Duke, have you ever seen a leather similar to a yellow robe?”
