The Ability Seed, without a doubt, was the most promising item in Lu Chen's possession, bar none!
Using it could directly enhance his combat strength.
Using his only guaranteed A-rank attribute chance on the Ability Seed was a surefire win.
After confirming, Lu Chen subconsciously held his breath, anxiously anticipating the results of the attribute refresh.
The Ability Seed he chose to refresh its attribute, instantly erupted with layers of grayish-black ripples.
It looked like ripples spreading in space, even distorting light!
As if in that instant, this tiny seed transformed into a black hole, constantly exerting its influence on its surroundings.
At the same time, Lu Chen's eyes finally saw the results of the attribute refresh!
【Ding! Item "Ability Seed" has obtained A-rank attribute: "Black Hole"!】
(Black Hole: 100% chance of awakening the "Gravity" Origin Ability)
The "Black Hole" Ability Seed!
It can definitely awaken the "Gravity" Origin Ability -
"What's an Origin Ability?"
The moment this thought popped into his head, the system provided an answer.
【Origin Abilities are the source of all lower-level abilities of the same type, also known as "Primordial Abilities"】
【Each Origin Ability is unique. Once awakened, it cannot be controlled by others】
【If the current type of Origin Ability is unawakened, similar lower-level abilities can gradually evolve into Origin Abilities through "Ability Ascension"】
After reading the information provided by the system, Lu Chen thought thoughtfully.
If you compare all abilities of the same type to a towering tree.
Then the Origin Ability is the root system of this tree, and its status is extremely important.
All subsequent abilities are evolved from the Origin Ability.
"The Origin Ability related to 'Gravity'..."
Gazing at the Ability Seed, which resembled a miniature black hole, Lu Chen's mind flashed back to the scene of fighting the guard zombie.
The guard zombie had just awakened a low-level ability related to "gravity".
It directly suppressed him, almost causing him to fall victim to misfortune.
It seemed he had a real connection with this type of ability.
"Gravity" is a manifestation of "gravity," but not the entirety of it.
From a microscopic perspective, gravity can refer to the attraction between any two objects
or two particles, which is related to their distance and the product of their masses.
This is the most common and fundamental meaning of "force" in nature!
Symbolically, it is far deeper than simply "gravity".
In other words, there will be more ways to develop and use it!
"It truly deserves to be an A-rank attribute."
"I wonder when the system will upgrade next."
Having tasted the sweet benefits of the system upgrade, Lu Chen was already eager to upgrade the system further.
Regarding his eagerness, the system quickly provided an answer.
【Every first day of a "Dangerous Area" rotation will definitely open the rankings】
【Achieving the "top spot" on the Survivor Ranking allows you to upgrade the system and unlock more permissions】
【After each system upgrade, you will be given a guaranteed A-rank attribute refresh chance】
The types of Dangerous Areas change every 10 days.
In other words, Lu Chen had a chance to upgrade the system every 10 days!
It also meant he could gain a guaranteed A-rank attribute refresh chance every 10 days!
However, to achieve his ideal results, he needed to defeat all players and rank first!
"A bit troublesome."
"But... there's joy in challenge!"
Lu Chen was filled with confidence and fighting spirit.
The resources and strength he currently possessed far exceeded others!
If he couldn't get first place with all this…
He might as well find a steel plate and slam into it to commit suicide.
After sorting out his thoughts, Lu Chen took one last look at the "Black Hole" Ability Seed in his hand.
Then… he decisively used it!
The Ability Seed instantly shattered into countless tiny particles, turning into smoke and dissipating, before being completely absorbed into Lu Chen's skin.
A tingling, slightly stinging sensation immediately seeped from the surface of his skin into his blood vessels, organs, bones…
Then, it climbed along the nerves in his spine, ultimately exploding in Lu Chen's mind!
"Ugh…!"
Lu Chen felt as if his senses suddenly became incredibly clear, as if he saw many angles and sights he couldn't perceive before.
Strange and fantastical colors, geometric fractals with distorted and chaotic lines, continuously flashed, lingered, and shifted in his vision.
Finally, his consciousness could no longer withstand this torment, and he collapsed onto the simple bed, falling into a deep sleep.
-
When he woke up again, several hours had passed.
The first thing Lu Chen did after regaining consciousness was to raise his wrist and look at the time.
He discovered it was just past 5 am, with several minutes left before being teleported to the Dangerous Area, and he let out a sigh of relief.
"At least I didn't get teleported in while unconscious."
Shaking his slightly drowsy head, Lu Chen gradually woke up.
He was about to take a sip of water to calm his nerves, but as soon as the thought appeared, the bottle of purified water on the table automatically flew towards him.
"Holy… good thing the cap was screwed on tight."
Lu Chen was startled, somewhat unprepared as he caught the flying water bottle, staring blankly for a moment.
Then, he remembered that he should have awakened the "Gravity" ability!
Calling up his attribute panel, Lu Chen quickly found the description of his newly acquired ability.
-
【Ability: Origin - Gravity Manipulation (A-rank)】
【You can now manipulate the gravity between objects, attracting or repelling them】
【Using the ability consumes mental energy, and your total mental energy is proportional to your mental attribute】
【This ability will be enhanced as your mental attribute increases】
【This ability is A-rank, and can have up to 5 attributes】
-
"It seems that the mental attribute is crucial for abilities."
Lu Chen came to this conclusion after reading the description of the ability.
"Too bad I don't know how to improve attributes yet."
All three of his attributes were still at the most basic E-rank.
Although other players were the same, Lu Chen wanted to progress.
Another pleasant surprise was that "Origin - Gravity Manipulation" could have up to 5 attributes!
This was an improvement brought by the system upgrade.
The higher the level of an item or skill, the more attributes it could hold!
E-rank items could only be influenced by 1 attribute.
D-rank was two, C-rank was three, and so on.
Lu Chen had mostly E-rank items, but two of them were not!
The C-rank Elite Survivor Wristwatch, and the D-rank "Charged Throw" skill!
The former could receive two more attributes, while the latter could get one more.
However, before that, Lu Chen glanced at the time and decided to refresh an attribute for Sakurajima Mai first.
"Hopefully it'll be similar to 'Love at First Sight'."
He muttered silently in his heart, then clicked on Sakurajima Mai's personal information and used his ability.
【Ding! Player "Sakurajima Mai" has obtained the special attribute: "Sisters United"!】
(Sisters United: You will be teleported to the same Dangerous Area as Sakurajima Mai and Toyohina Kazuha)
