MTL - Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 4 Ranger
Chapter 4 Ranger
"OK."
Staff members were not impressed by Ji Xinghuo’s choice and immediately registered him for application.
Ji Xinghuo was not worried that his application would be rejected. He passed two tests and scored higher than most people.
Even though Thousand Hands is a popular ability, its acquisition quantity is not low, and even if you have to wait in line, you won’t have to wait long.
He asked further: "Are there any existing Thousand-Dexterous Hands mutants in the service center?"
The female staff member hesitated.
She lowered her head and glanced at Ji Xinghuo's test results before replying: "There should be some. A batch of alien species just arrived the day before yesterday, and several of them have dexterous hands. Once Mr. Ji's application is approved, he will be able to get it immediately To the alien species.”
“Thank you.”
Ji Xinghuo smiled happily at her, sat down and waited, thinking: "If I can get the alien species today, it will be very smooth."
“Skilled Hands” is a superior power.
The grading standard for superpowers was originally issued by the "Astral Defense Council". The first four levels from low to high are: basic, high quality, excellent, and beyond limit.
In fact, this standard is not only used in all countries on earth, but also in the star realm, but the specific name is slightly different.
Excellent powers are already very rare powers.
Even among the outstanding powers, the Thousand-Dexterous Hands are among the most sought-after, with a market price of about 1.6 million Asian dollars.
Most of the time, even if you have the money to buy, you still have to wait for a while.
The reason for this is that Thousand Hands is the core ability of the professional template "Ranger".
The "career template" can be understood as the life evolution path of the alien.
Under normal circumstances, each alien life evolves once and can only fuse with one alien species. Therefore, the choice of abilities becomes particularly important, and is the most critical factor in determining the strength of aliens.
However, there are too many superpowers!
Let the aliens choose by themselves, and they don’t know which abilities are the best solutions.
The Stargate has been open for nearly two centuries. Most of the superpowers obtained on Earth, plus the collected superpower information, have been included in the alien database of the "Star Defense Council", with a total of more than 12,000 superpowers.
Earth's countries and some forces, organizations, and individuals must have hidden some information about superpowers. If all are counted, the number of superpowers may reach 20,000.
More than 90% of the more than 20,000 abilities are basic abilities with similar effects, too low power, and even useless abilities.
It is an almost impossible task to thoroughly study the remaining 10% of abilities.
Many abilities conflict with each other and cannot be integrated at the same time.
Some abilities are not suitable for humans on earth at all. It may be due to genetic differences or other reasons. In short, the success rate of fusion is zero.
Even if some abilities are successfully integrated, their power will be greatly reduced or even inexplicably ineffective.
And it varies from person to person and is very complex.
Of course, there are positive examples with good results. Certain abilities are mastered together with other abilities, complementing each other, and can produce effects far beyond normal power.
So countries on the earth have invested countless resources in researching superpowers since the 21st century, trying to find the best combination of superpowers, and at the same time stealing lessons from other civilized races. After two centuries of accumulation, countries now have a large amount of data.
Analyze the power information data and practice it, and finally get a series of optimal power combinations.
These combinations of abilities are the “career templates”!
Like a virtual game, each career template has a name, such as "Giant General", "Shadow Blade", "Martial Arts Master", "Gravity Warrior", "Psychic Hacker", "Superconductor" and so on.
A career template usually consists of five abilities, and sometimes seven or eight abilities.
The biggest advantage of the professional template is that it is stable and has guaranteed strength. It is relatively common to form special abilities. It has a low probability of conflict, a high fusion success rate, a large potential, the ability to quickly form combat effectiveness, and a mature method of breaking through bottlenecks. Therefore, it is suitable for most aliens. s Choice.
Although career templates are fixed, the path of evolution is not.
As long as he is not afraid of conflicts and successfully integrates abilities, Yiren can change his mind at any time and switch to other professional templates.
Of course, there are always people who want to find a new path, abandon the professional template, and freely explore the path of evolution.
This kind of people are called "jobless strangers" and are very rare.
The non-professional alien is either a genius or a fool, or he has acquired a superpower that is extremely powerful but lacks research information and is not within the scope of the professional template. He has to do so as a last resort.
So the strength of the jobless stranger is either extremely strong or extremely weak.
The upper limit is very high and the lower limit is lower.
The vast majority of aliens still seek stability and will choose career templates.
Today, there are more than 40 most mature career templates suitable for human beings in the world. If you include incomplete professional templates and some unique power combinations, the number will double or triple.
Ji Xinghuo had no intention of becoming a jobless alien. After careful consideration last night, he chose "Ranger".
Ranger is one of the most popular career templates.
According to statistics from the Astral Defense Council, rangers account for 7% of the world’s aliens, ranking fifth in population!
The main combat method of the Ranger is long-range attacks, and the melee combat strength is also very good. The movement is dexterous and agile, and the reactions are quick. It is a relatively comprehensive professional template.
Furthermore, rangers are very in demand and you never have to worry about employment issues.
The roots lie in the astral realm.
The astral world is between reality and illusion, and is a parallel world of the material universe.
It is an extra-dimensional space constructed by combining the thoughts and emotions of countless intelligent creatures with the infinite energy in the center of the galaxy.
The natural laws of the astral world are completely different from the physical rules of the real universe. It is filled with a kind of magical energy, which acts on both the microscopic world and the spiritual world. It has the characteristics of idealism. Scientists use a method that was discovered by physics in the 20th century. Learn to call this energy by the abandoned term - ether!
Ether is the source of all supernatural forces.
It can open the star gate to the star realm, stimulate the evolution of life, master great power, and create extraordinary things.
At the same time, ether also renders all electronic equipment, thermal weapons, and nuclear weapons ineffective in the astral realm. All weapons and tools that rely on physical rules and chemical reactions cannot be used in the astral realm.
This is the iron law of the astral world!
Even the oldest and most powerful civilization in the galaxy must follow this rule!
Without the ability to use thermal weapons, aliens lose most of their long-range attack methods, especially low-level aliens, who can almost only fight in close combat in the star realm.
Hence, long-range attack capabilities are particularly valuable in the star realm.
The ranger can meet the demand.
The professional template of the Ranger is built around the "shooting" ability. In the early stage, bows and arrows are the main weapons, and the melee strength is not weak.
More importantly, when the ranger leaves the star realm and returns to the earth, replacing his bow and arrows with thermal weapons and firearms, his strength will skyrocket by several levels.
Generally, the strength of aliens on earth is relatively reduced.
Only rangers and a very small number of two or three professions have soared in strength on earth, and rangers have the largest increase.
Whether he is serving as a sniper on the battlefield or assassinating targets in the city, the ranger is a frightening presence, and his intimidation power is far better than that of other professions.
The career potential of the ranger is also great, and there are many directions for subsequent advancement.
However, Ji Xinghuo chose Ranger not all because of employment and potential. The bigger reason was that Ranger was a perfect match for Wanxiang Xingtong.
The ranger's career template includes five abilities.
They are "dexterous hands", "flash steps", "intuitive reflexes", "accuracy" and "balance".
The Vientiane Star Pupil can replace the "Intuitive Reflection" and "Precision" among them, and the function of the Vientiane Star Pupil is stronger than these two powers. In addition, there are three other effects related to the eyes: eagle eye, infrared vision, and microscopic vision. , taken together, is enough to give the ranger incredible sensory abilities!
As long as you apply for "Thousands of Skilled Hands", your career template will be almost ready.
He mastered three powers as soon as he became a foreigner, two steps faster than others.
Ji Xinghuo’s plan doesn’t stop there.
The next step is to find a way to earn enough money to purchase cultivation resources and services, and strive to evolve again within a year or two, be promoted to an intermediate alien, and be able to fuse with another alien. During this period, it is best to get another "expansion wonder" and fuse additional alien species.
If everything goes well, I will be able to master five abilities when I am an intermediate alien, my career template will be fully formed, and my strength will be far better than that of an alien of the same level!
Plans are always good.
Ji Xinghuo was so immersed in the bright future he envisioned that he became distracted until his phone vibrated slightly and received a message.
At this time, a female voice came over: "Mr. Ji, your application has been approved, and you can receive the alien species now."
Ji Xinghuo perked up and stood up immediately.
"plz follow me."
Ji Xinghuo followed the staff to the fifth floor and entered one of the white and quiet rooms, which was the superpower fusion room of the service center.
In order to prevent alien species from being faked or resold, the Star Boundary Ministry has issued regulations that all alien species obtained through application cannot be taken away from the service center and must be integrated on the spot. If you feel that your physical condition is not good, you can postpone it, but not more than one month.
Ji Xinghuo naturally chose to fuse the alien species immediately.
The person responsible for merging Ji Xinghuo's alien species was a female doctor in a white coat. She was about fifty years old and had a peaceful face. After she verified Ji Xinghuo's identity again, she said softly: "Please sit down, Mr. Ji, don't be nervous. It’ll be ready soon.”
“Okay.” Ji Xinghuo nodded lightly.
This female doctor’s smile is contagious, making her feel more relaxed.
Soon, a staff member came in carrying a metal box and handed it to the female doctor.
She opened the box in front of Ji Xinghuo and took out a cryogenically refrigerated test tube, which contained a transparent solution and a group of light gray things floating in it.
Ji Xinghuo's eyes lit up, this is the alien species with Qianqingqinghan!
The Thousand Hands' alien form is a tangled mass of roots that has multiple origins, most of which are related to astral plants.
Such a small thing is worth 1.6 million Asian dollars.
The female doctor used tweezers to pick out the heterogeneous species and gently put it into another test tube.
The test tube contained a freshly prepared medicine. The root-like alien species fell into it and immediately began to squirm and struggle like a living creature, like a drowning earthworm.
Gradually, the alien shape spread out and became lighter and lighter. After a few minutes, it was completely dissolved into the medicine.
The female doctor shook the test tube gently and nodded with satisfaction.
“Take off your shirt.”
Ji Xinghuo did as he was told. He had known before that the fusion method of Qianling Skillful Hand was injection, so he was not surprised.
The female doctor drew the liquid into the syringe, wiped it with alcohol cotton on both sides of Ji Xinghuo's collarbones, and said comfortingly: "It may hurt a little. Grit your teeth and hold on, don't move."
"yes."
Ji Xinghuo nodded solemnly.
With a very steady hand, the female doctor inserted the needle tip above Ji Xinghuo's right clavicle, diagonally downward, and reached the brachial nerve located behind the clavicle.
Ji Xinghuo frowned. It was indeed painful, but it was nothing compared to the pain of merging with Wanxiang Xingpu last night. He had done many will tests, and the pain of level seven electric shocks was more painful than this, so he gritted his teeth and held on.
After half of the medicine was injected, the female doctor immediately pulled out the needle and inserted it into the other clavicle to inject the remaining half of the medicine.
"Okay." The female doctor smiled and said, "It's going well. Go to the observation room and wait for half an hour. If you feel any discomfort, report it immediately."
Ji Xinghuo got dressed and said, "Thank you doctor."
He sat down in the observation room and received a copy of "Precautions for Alien Fusion" on his mobile phone. It included possible reactions after the fusion of the Thousand-Dexterous Hands, as well as training methods for this ability, how to recover if the fusion fails, etc. All in all, it was very detailed and the service was very considerate.
Soon, Ji Xinghuo felt the reaction.
From my shoulders down to my palms, I started to feel a slight itchiness, accompanied by a slight pain, like countless fine needles traveling in my arms. It was painful and itchy, and my hands became numb.
Ji Xinghuo was not panicked at all.
These are normal phenomena mentioned in the precautions.
Thousands of dexterous hands are the most important core ability of the ranger. It can make the hands extremely flexible and stable, and the touch of the hands becomes more sensitive. The hands can make complex and subtle movements, and all hand-related skills can be Master it quickly.
Through injection, the xenograft is integrated into the brachial plexus in the neck and then spreads to the ulnar, radial and median nerves.
These three nerve branches and the lower terminal nerves control all movements of the upper limbs of the human body, from the arms to the palms and fingers.
Ji Xinghuo carefully felt the changes in his hands.
After a moment.
The pain and itching in my arms began to subside, and I felt the presence of my hands again, obviously more keenly than before.
He lightly clenched his fist and opened it again, and the touch on his palm was very subtle.
With a wave of your hand, you can detect flow changes in the air passing between your fingers. Each finger is like an independent organ, capable of making fine movements.
The touch on the hands becomes more delicate. Even if you close your eyes and touch only with your hands, you can form an accurate outline of the object in your mind.
The reaction speed of both hands has also become significantly faster.
Ji Xinghuo remembered a video of showing off his skills that he had seen before.
“I’ll give it a try too.”
He took out his cell phone, put his index finger on the center of the back of the phone, and exerted a little force to make the phone spin on his fingertips. However, after two or three turns, it lost its balance and slipped.
Catch the phone with a flip of your palm and try again.
After only a dozen attempts, Ji Xinghuo mastered the technique and was able to rotate the phone with his index finger. Every time the phone was about to slip off, he would gently flick it with another finger and the phone would regain its balance. It could rotate up to 10 times at most. It takes a hundred laps to become unbalanced.
Although the speed is not as good as the video I watched and the number of laps can only break 100, it still shows the skill.
"sharp!"
Ji Xinghuo sighed in admiration, it was truly an outstanding ability.
No wonder it can become the core ability of the ranger!
The main weapon of the ranger is the bow and arrow, and 70% of his strength is in shooting. It can be imagined how much Qian Dingshou has improved his archery skills. In addition to archery, rangers are also equipped with melee weapons. Whether swords or daggers, their dexterous hands are also of great benefit to martial arts.
And Thousand Dexterous Hands, like many superpowers, can be upgraded through exercise.
“Is this considered a successful integration?”
Ji Xinghuo had a smile on his face. He had never had any doubts about whether he could become a foreigner. "After mastering the first superpower, I will be a foreigner, even though it is only a junior foreigner."
Ji Xinghuo thought about this.
He lowered his head slightly and looked at the ground. The interface of Vientiane Star Pupils unfolded in his field of vision. Sure enough, the information on the interface had changed!
【Lord of the Star Pupils of All Things: Ji Xinghuo】
【Race: Earth humans】
【Rank: Junior Alien】
【Power: Thousands of Dexterous Hands (Level 1/47)】
【Spiritual energy: 0】
