Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands

Chapter 272: Chapter 272: Twenty Stars Fog Corpse

Three days were spent exhausting resources to enhance strength.

For those with qualifying talent but lacking resources, they could approach the Intelligent Brain to request an advance in Star Stones to first enhance their superpowers.

Similarly, an agreement would be signed with the Intelligent Brain, calculating the consumed resources and working off the debt at the Mist Base.

The resources on the Mist Continent were ownerless.

However, the Star System Map was personal, and providing Star Stones required the map’s extraction.

It was naturally impossible for Xiao Jinsheng to distribute them to everyone for free.

The Terminal, though disgusting and annoying, did have some merits worth learning from.

At the very least, earning resources through missions was a good rule.

The existence of the Star System Map and the Intelligent Brain only needed to provide convenience, just like the Star Map.

After arranging matters for the others on the Mist Continent, Xiao Jinsheng urged Que Zelian and the others to hurry into the realm to enhance their strength.

Only Xuan Jiu, the one with Fifteen Stars, stayed behind.

The restriction on the Mist Continent wasn’t just enforced on outsiders, but also applied to the native inhabitants.

Nobody could exceed Fifteen Stars of superpower strength on the Mist Continent.

The issue of the Mist Continent’s restriction was something Xiao Jinsheng couldn’t resolve for the time being. She had also asked Lou Yan Zhi, who simply waved his hand dismissively.

To modify the restriction of the Mist Continent, one would have to either directly break through to Twenty-Four Stars in strength, or uncover the origin of the restriction.

Although Xiao Jinsheng suspected she was the world’s consciousness, she hadn’t awakened and had no memory, leaving her to sigh at the Mist Continent’s restriction.

Fifteen Stars it was, then.

While it limited them to Fifteen Stars, it also limited their enemies to the same.

Without complete assurance, Xiao Jinsheng dared not casually alter the restriction.

If it went poorly, it would be disastrous if a misstep removed the restriction against outsiders altogether.

At the moment, everyone was focused on developing their strength.

Everyone except for Xiao Jinsheng, who was still brainstorming other solutions.

And those who stayed to accompany her: Xuan Jiu, Caicai, and the Cannibal Flower.

The Cannibal Flower offered a suggestion: "I don’t have superpowers, but I’ve eaten plenty of Sixteen Stars individuals and bugs in the Interstellar World."

"I could go eat all of them."

"You don’t have superpowers, but your strength’s been restricted too, hasn’t it?" Xiao Jinsheng felt warmth in her heart and reached out to tug at the Cannibal Flower’s green vine.

The Cannibal Flower was one of their main combat assets.

But in a real fight, there were far too many people in the Interstellar World to feed them all to the Cannibal Flower.

"I have a question." Xuan Jiu, after thinking for a long time, suddenly asked, "The strength of outsiders is restricted to Fifteen Stars, and so is that of the native inhabitants. What about the Mutant Beasts? What about the Fog Corpses?"

"Are they subjected to the restriction as well?"

This question was something Xiao Jinsheng hadn’t truly considered before.

Mutant Beasts were similarly unaffected by the Poisonous Fog.

Which was why, when the Insect Clan descended, most of the Mutant Beasts lived on Mist West.

They were still thriving to this day.

Looking at her Star System Map, Xiao Jinsheng saw that Fifteen Star Mutant Beasts existed, but not many.

There were no Mutant Beasts above Fifteen Stars.

As for Fog Corpses, the ones Xiao Jinsheng had previously extracted Star Stone Energy from to bombard the Insect Clan were mostly Twelve Stars in superpower level, with a few at Fifteen Stars but not exceeding that level either.

Mutant Beasts were tricky to handle; after all, they relied on themselves to find resources to increase their strength. noveldrama

But Fog Corpses... well...

Xiao Jinsheng quickly had the Star System Map use previously extracted Fog Corpse data to generate a new Fog Corpse for her.

As for strength, she wanted it to reach the current highest possible level.

[Extracting energy]

[Extracting poisonous fog]

[Analyzing data... Reference strength detected: Superpower Level 20 Stars]

[Reference sample: Lou Yan Zhi]

[Generation in progress]

[Generation successful]

[Please select the Fog Corpse’s compatible superpowers, intelligence, personality, preferences, combat style, weaponry, and appearance]

[Note: The more compatible conditions selected, the higher the required consumption of Star Stone Energy and poisonous fog]

[Different personalities and preferences will affect the Fog Corpse’s habits in non-combat states]

Xiao Jinsheng hadn’t expected this to actually work.

For the first sample, she experimented by selecting Gold and Fire Dual Element System for the superpower, 100 for intelligence, a docile personality, an interest in researching warships, a combat style of overwhelming firepower, and a rocket launcher as its weapon.

As for its appearance...

Recalling the Fog Corpses she had seen before.

The lower-level Fog Corpses with superpower levels of Ten Stars or below were hideous and grotesque.

But those above Ten Stars had skin tones and appearances indistinguishable from normal humans.

Xiao Jinsheng immediately began working, shaping this Gold-Fire Fog Corpse with a handsome face.

"Don’t we need to select its gender?" Xiao Jinsheng asked.

[Fog Corpses are primarily formed from poisonous fog and Star Stone Energy and do not possess gender]

The Fog Corpses previously seen on Mist West appeared to have male and female distinctions because they were generated randomly.

But this one was explicitly crafted by Xiao Jinsheng’s own hands.

Soon, as the white mist dispersed, a clean and handsome youth appeared before Xiao Jinsheng.

It opened its eyes, its gold-red gaze firmly fixed on Xiao Jinsheng, and smiled obediently, saying: "Star Stone Origin."

[You are the Star Stone Origin, the owner of the Mist Continent]

[It is created from the Mist Continent’s energy and personally crafted by you; it will automatically recognize you as its master]

Xiao Jinsheng was intriguingly observing whether there were issues with this Fog Corpse when Xuan Jiu reached out a hand to try pinching the Fog Corpse’s pale, delicate face.

The Fog Corpse, previously very obedient in front of Xiao Jinsheng, immediately retaliated with Golden-Fire superpower energy, launching an explosive attack toward Xuan Jiu.

"It’s so aggressive," Xuan Jiu exclaimed, quickly dodging as the Fog Corpse’s attack was intercepted by the Star System Map.

"I just wanted to see if its face felt like a real person’s," Xuan Jiu explained, hiding behind Xiao Jinsheng.

"I want to see too," Xiao Jinsheng nodded.

With that, she reached out to tug at the Fog Corpse’s face.

She found that it did resemble human flesh.

But the Fog Corpse’s skin could be stretched infinitely.

Like pulling warm, soft candy, Xiao Jinsheng easily stretched its face a meter long.

"Is this the true power?" Xuan Jiu marveled.

"This power is too strong," Xiao Jinsheng nodded in agreement.

The Star System Map silently observed.

Finally losing patience, it reminded them:

[The Fog Corpse is not human. As long as the Star Stone remains intact, losing limbs or even the head is inconsequential. Its only flaws are: consuming Star Stone Energy and being unable to face the Mist Continent’s sunlight directly]

[You set its personality to obedient. Tugging its face will make it think you want to see how long its skin can stretch.]

"Then I’ll put it back," Xiao Jinsheng said, rolling up the three-meter-long face and sticking it back in place.

She looked at this first Twenty-Star Fog Corpse with satisfaction.

It had a pleasing appearance, was obedient, and had strong combat capabilities.

The only flaw was that it could only operate on Mist West.

Previously, this was an advantage since Fog Corpses were the enemy.

"If I want them to fight on Mist East or even further, shouldn’t they learn to create mist?" Xiao Jinsheng mused.

Just like the situation she encountered when she first arrived on the Mist Continent.

When mist appeared on Mist East, so did Fog Corpses.

What she needed now was a method to create mist whenever and wherever necessary.

[Data analysis confirms feasibility]

Hearing Xiao Jinsheng’s question, the Star System Map quickly provided a solution.

[Purifying all the poisonous fog on the Mist Continent will yield the Poison Fog Core]

[Once the Poison Fog Core is controlled, you will be able to manipulate the poisonous fog at will]

"So it all comes down to planting trees!" Xiao Jinsheng wearily closed her eyes.

Round and round, the Mist Continent was nothing more than a green planet.

When the Terminal was here, they planted trees.

Now that the Terminal was gone, they still had to plant trees.
