Cataclysm King

Chapter 62
Not long after, Ji Xun arrived at No. 117, Dongcheng Street, East Fifth District.

Everything here is familiar.

The black glass building was brightly lit, and the smoke from the crematorium billowed black smoke.

In the past few days, there are many times more corpses in Innocence City than in the past, and there are not enough corpse collectors, let alone a completely newly established branch.

Ji Xun went to the recruitment office.

The person in charge of recruiting was also a strange minister.

The field staff of the branch company were all wiped out before, and no one knew him.

Ji Xun said that there was no obstacle at all to join the job, and he went through the formalities on the spot.

After sending out a "Corpse Collector's Handbook", a set of work clothes, and a key to the dormitory, he will be officially employed.

He was assigned to the fifth team again.

This team is in charge of a large area near Downing Street. It has the heaviest work and is always short of people.

The minister just greeted the following newcomers.Originally, the newcomer had to read the Corpse Collector's Manual by heart, but only on the second day did he gradually become familiar with the job he took over.

But as soon as Ji Xun walked out, the new captain of the fifth team stopped him.

"Hey, newcomer, Ji Jisan, right? You help get the corpse in the car to the morgue."

"."

Ji Xun raised his eyebrows, his expression under the mask was slightly weird.

It seems that squeezing newcomers is a tradition of corpse collectors, and the captain of the new fifth team is very familiar with this.

However, the last time I did this, it was already cold.

Ji Xun thought of some pictures, and a chuckle flashed in his eyes.

He didn't say anything, just pushed the trolley, loaded the body with another newcomer, and took the old elevator to the morgue on the third floor.

As soon as he came in, the newcomer who was two days earlier than him also chose to be lazy, and made an excuse and said: "Hey, you can just stuff the customer into the empty box. I'll leave it to you, get acquainted with it, I'm going to go up and wait for the mission."

This guy also regarded him as a rookie who didn't know anything.

With that said, people also left.

Ji Xun shook his head and didn't care.

He put the clients into the tin box one by one, clearly feeling the extraordinary characteristics of the corpses, and at the same time he said a sentence that he could only hear clearly: "The quality of the corpses is very high recently."

This eerie morgue is a wish for others to never visit.

Ji Xun likes it very much.

Quiet and no one bothers you.

Ji Xun was already familiar with this process, quickly fixed the corpse, found a corner and began to meditate.

There is no need to go out on a mission on the first day of employment.

Ji Xun stayed in the morgue all night.

The next morning, Ji Xun opened his eyes from his meditation.

Originally, he planned to go upstairs to have breakfast, and then continue to deal with chores, taking time to meditate and practice.

This is a routine he has developed before.

However, just as he got up, he suddenly discovered something surprising, and said softly, "The mana power has increased by 200 points overnight?"

Ji Xun rubbed his temples, a little unbelievable.

Because he has always wanted to observe how different the breathing method of the golden fragment is from other breathing methods, so he has been recording the value of his spell power growth.

He clearly remembered that the mana value on his panel was 270 last night.

After ten hours of meditation, it turned into 481?

It rose by 211 point!
"How did it rise so much?"

Ji Xun himself was also confused.

Normally speaking, after ten hours of meditation, with his current proficiency, it would be good to increase his mana by about 40 points. .

But last night, it was a full five times?
"Could it be."

Ji Xun rolled his eyes and suddenly realized something.

When he was in the maze before, he found that the breathing method was much more efficient when he meditated. At that time, he thought it was a problem with the secret room, or it was swallowed by the third-order corpse.

I didn't have time to think about it.

Now that there is no environmental impact, the breathing efficiency is even higher!
Breathing method is still Lv1, it stands to reason that it is absolutely impossible to have such an exaggerated increase.

Ji Xun ruled out all possibilities, looked at the cloth bag hanging around his waist, and said to himself: "Is it really the reason for this jar?"

If the environment and self factors are ruled out, then this is the only possibility.

"This"

On the contrary, Ji Xun is a bit clueless.

This [X-711-Spell Clay Pot] cannot be contained, but it has no negative effects, so he has been hanging on his waist since he came out of the maze.

Thinking that in case of trouble, it can also block the curse of the mysterious department and act as a passive pendant.

Now it seems that this jar not only has the effect of exempting a single body from the curse, but also condenses the elemental particles in the void, increasing energy and speeding up the cultivation of spell power?
Ji Xun thought of this, and immediately recovered from his awakening: "I found a big treasure!"

Professional skills can be learned with practice cards for money, but mana power can only be accumulated a little bit by self-cultivation and meditation.

No one is an exception.

He had heard before that those rich people would use some secret magic potions to assist in the practice of breathing techniques, so as to achieve a practice efficiency that was several times that of others.

But that kind of cultivation method that purely burns money can't be supported by non-big aristocrats.

Moreover, the medicines are all top-secret formulas, and low-level people cannot buy them.

Envy is useless.

So Ji Xun also estimated that if he meditated normally and practiced hard, even if he had the remnants of the breathing method, his spell power would increase far beyond ordinary people, but it might take a year or two to reach the level of an official spell card master.

However, I didn't expect that I picked up a clay pot in the maze casually, and it turned out to be a big treasure with five times the efficiency of cultivation?
Maybe more than that!

The number of this spell jar is X-711. Chu Jiu said that this is a brand new number, which means that it is a new catastrophe that the Cao family only discovered in the Old Continent.

Probably even they themselves didn't figure out what the specific use was.

The functions that have been confirmed now are single-body curse immunity and assisted breathing training.

Just these two effects are priceless.

Ji Xun thought of a lot for a while, and his eyes were bright.

Although there was an increase in the maze before, it was not as exaggerated as last night. I thought it was because the jar was not worn close to the body?

Or are there other environmental factors that can affect its growth rate?
But don't rush to find out.

Now no one knows that this thing is in his hands, and there is still a lot of time in the future, and he can slowly test the effect of this jar.

The canteen was already open, so Ji Xun didn't stay in the morgue and walked up.

We're going to start the corpse collection mission today.

Time flies is a small half a month.

With a new identity, Ji Xun continued to work as a humble corpse collector in the Golden Oak Branch of East Fifth District.

Every day is to go out missions, collect corpses, burn corpses, and practice.

Regular, ordinary and inconspicuous.

During this period of time, the assassination of Governor Cao Sihai also continued to ferment.

Like a tsunami after an earthquake, huge shock waves hit the city of innocence one after another.

There are various kinds of fighting in the city every day.

In addition to gangsters, many people from unknown forces also participated.

Without the common foreign enemy of the Governor's Mansion Cao's family, the clashes between the major gangsters in Innocence City became more and more frequent.

Seeing that there are still many behind-the-scenes forces fanning the flames.

The body collectors in major urban areas are working at full capacity, and the crematorium has never stopped.

Not only are there more corpses, but the quality is getting higher and higher.

In the past, most of the corpses of card master apprentices were collected.

But gradually, the corpses of first-tier and even second-tier spell card masters may be left dead on the streets
The pollution of corpses is getting stronger and stronger, and distortion accidents are also happening frequently.

The corpse collector teams in several districts encountered accidents of corpse distortion when they were out on duty. There were distortions at the scene, fraudulent corpses in the car, and crawling out of the morgue. Various weird incidents emerged one after another.

Occupational hazards have skyrocketed.

Even if the Golden Oak Company has increased wages, there is still a shortage of people at any time.

But this is good news for Ji Xun.

He can devour more and more attributes every day.

The new captain of the fifth team and several old employees also tried their best to squeeze this "loneled" newcomer.

Now Ji Xun is almost always in and out of the morgue alone.

Sending corpses, burning, and dirty work are all done by him.

It doesn't matter to Ji Xun, he works hard and be a little transparent in the company.

this day.

The gloomy third floor underground.

The sound of "huh" and "huh" breaking the wind echoed in the empty corridor, mixed with regular heavy breathing.

Ji Xun was doing squats and sit-ups in the morgue shirtless, while practicing some basic fighting moves.

At this moment, his body is completely different from the bony and bony appearance when he first traveled through time. His body is full of muscles, like a knife and an axe.

Not only is the muscle dimension large, but the lines are also very smooth.

The whole body was wet with sweat, as if it had been coated with a layer of oil, and it looked like steel to the naked eye.

At this moment, Ji Xun was doing a one-handed push upside down, still counting: "197, 198, 199200!"

After counting to two hundred, he jumped up lightly and landed on the ground.

Although [Devil's Feast] can devour the supernatural properties of corpses to bring growth to the body, if the human muscles do not undergo resistance training, it will continue to shrink and its strength will also decrease.

Ji Xun didn't want his talent to be wasted on laziness.

So every day he plans training time for himself.

His temperament can endure loneliness, and he has become a madman of cultivation.

However, as soon as the feet hit the ground, even if they were deliberately controlled, the sound of the footsteps was extremely heavy.

"Boom" sound.

It sounded like a heavy object hitting the ground.

Taking a closer look, Ji Xun also had a heavy iron belt tied around his waist, and there were also iron pieces on his feet.

The weight of this body has exceeded two hundred kilograms.

But almost every one or two days, one or twenty kilograms will be added.

The Corpse Collector has been on duty very frequently recently, and the training time is completely insufficient.You can only increase the load, reduce the training time with intensity, and achieve the ideal training effect as much as possible.

There were a lot of high-end physical training and recovery potions in the frost knight's spoils before, which also brought great help to Ji Xun.

Even with high-intensity training, the physical body did not leave any hidden dangers.

With such boring training day after day, the attribute dimension is also rising visible to the naked eye.

With the engulfing of the Devil's Feast, his attributes at this moment are quite different from those half a month ago.

"Ji Xun"

Power: 4.92
Constitution: 4.77
Agility: 4.12
Toughness: 4.02
Spirit: 6.11
Mana: 1554
Halo: Doom Gambler

元素亲和：黑暗33/光9/地11/风8/水16/火11/雷3/木4
技能：【恶魔盛宴Lv1(101/2000)】、【暗影潜行Lv1(13/500)】、【高级枪械专精（1566/3000）】

【黄金呼吸法残篇Lv1(233/800)】、【初级气功专精Lv2(99/300)】、【初级格斗专精Lv2(57/300)】

Before the labyrinth of the Great Cemetery, Ji Xun's power attributes were only around 3.

It is equivalent to the Katu of the medium melee system.

But now, all the data are close to 5, and some high-level card players are at this level.

This exaggerated increase is also due to the Frost Knight Captain who devoured the third-level leader in the maze before, as well as the high-quality customers that the morgue received during this period.

And it's not just the body values ​​that have changed!

Because of the blessing of [Curse Mantra Pot], the mana value has reached an astonishing "1554" through daily meditation and hard work.

This is already similar to the six or seven stages of practicing ordinary breathing techniques.

But according to the Golden Remnant, he is only stuck in the second stage now.

After all, the formula has only been cultivated to the second stage.

If this exaggerated value and speed of improvement were known to others, no one would dare to believe it.

Then there are all kinds of skills, such as breathing, fighting, and qigong proficiency have all improved steadily.

Visible increase in combat power.

You can easily climb high walls with one leap, you can crush red bricks with your bare hands, and you can defend against ordinary slashing and stabbing with hard qigong.
This kind of ability, which was considered superhuman in his previous life, can be easily accomplished by him now.

Ji Xun felt that he was in great condition.

He even felt that if his body continued to grow like this, it wouldn't be long before the identity of "Ji San" would disappear again, and he would come in with a new identity.

This is just the beginning, the remnant breathing method is only at the second level, and there is still a long way to go to reach the upper limit of the card master's apprentice in physical attributes. There is a lot of room for improvement in the future.

Regardless of the current chaos in the city of innocence, he has no interest in getting involved, so let's wait until he can't get promoted in the morgue.

In today's Innocence City, an official spell card master who has not changed his job can only be used as cannon fodder.

After finishing a set of push-ups and resting for a while, Ji Xun was going to do another set with another hand.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the communication copper pipe on the wall: "Team five, a mission is out!"

Ji Xun is used to it.

The frequency of tasks in the past few days is already very high, and the exercise is often interrupted.

He quickly took off the weight on his body and stuffed it into the storage ring.

He wanted to carry the weight with him, but it was easy for people to see the abnormality if he really needed a few hundred catties to ride on the old antique steam truck of the body collector.

After drying off his sweat and putting on his clothes, Ji Xun quickly went upstairs with the toolbox, jumped into the truck that had started on the side of the street, and galloped away on the street.
