Ch 17: Terrifying Amplification!
A gentle breeze, the lake’s surface rippling.
Qin Jin-nian walked to his usual spot for daydreaming, sat down, took off his shoes and socks, and put his feet in the water.
Then, with a thought, the shadow beneath his feet instantly transitioned from a two-dimensional world to a three-dimensional one.
But because it was in the water, and reflected by the shimmering golden lake surface, outsiders couldn’t see it at all.
Qin Jin-nian smiled with satisfaction, then with another thought, the shadow immediately extended along the lakebed, towards the center of the lake……
“Before the upgrade, it should have been about five meters. Now, after the upgrade, I wonder how much it will increase?”
Qin Jin-nian was somewhat expectant.
And very quickly, the shadow in the lake had already extended five meters. It was hidden by the lake water, so it couldn’t be seen from the outside, but Qin Jin-nian could clearly sense it……
This was a kind of inexplicable connection between him and the shadow.
It was as if the shadow could always accurately act according to his deepest desires…… He could also clearly sense some states of the shadow.
Very strange.
When he confirmed that it had surpassed the limit distance before the upgrade, Qin Jin-nian squinted his eyes, revealing a satisfied smile.
Now, let’s see how much it has increased.
So, six meters, seven meters……
The shadow extended all the way down.
When it reached ten meters, it didn’t stop, and was still extending. Qin Jin-nian’s eyes lit up, thinking, “It’s increased so much? Not bad, not bad!”
When it reached fifteen meters and still hadn’t stopped, Qin Jin-nian was a little surprised, but mostly delighted. “It’s doubled? Very good, very good!”
When it reached twenty meters and still hadn’t stopped, Qin Jin-nian was a little stunned, swallowing a mouthful of saliva…… “No way? It only leveled up once, and it actually tripled? This is a bit abnormal……”
And when it didn’t stop at thirty meters, didn’t stop at forty meters……
It wasn’t until fifty meters that it barely reached its limit.
Qin Jin-nian was already dumbfounded.
Then, he gradually widened his eyes, and even he felt a hint of absurdity……
“Before the upgrade, the limit was five meters.”
“After the upgrade, the limit is…… fifty meters?”
A tenfold increase!
Even though this was his own superpower, Qin Jin-nian was a little stunned for a moment.
You know, this was only one level up.
If it levels up twice…… wouldn’t it reach five hundred meters?
Three levels? Five thousand meters?
What about four levels? Five levels?
God knows how many levels this thing has?
If it kept increasing like this, by the time it reached seven or eight levels…… wouldn’t it mean that with a thought, he could hit any location on the globe, wherever he pointed?
The Dongfeng Express?
Qin Jin-nian was a little stunned.
Even he was frightened by the shadow’s amplification.
After a good while, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty.
“No, this idea is a bit too idealistic…… Maybe, the limit is only three levels?”
Although three levels were also quite terrifying.
With a diameter of five kilometers, he could still kill wantonly at home…… This was also quite terrifying.
A little excited, Qin Jin-nian closed his eyes and steadied his mind.
After a good while, he exhaled lightly again.
“Forget it, it doesn’t matter. Thinking carefully, I can travel here from another world, separated by who knows how much space. Having an ability that can cover the globe is also acceptable!”
Qin Jin-nian tried to convince himself.
After a good while, he barely suppressed the excitement in his heart.
Then he took a deep breath.
“Let’s try the limit of the forking…… Before the upgrade, it was…… about fifty tentacles.”
With a thought, immediately, in the world beneath the lake that outsiders couldn’t see, a black and long tentacle began to split crazily.
One became two, two became four, four became eight……
In the blink of an eye, it was already dense!
If this scene were seen by someone, they would be scared out of their wits.
◈◈◈
Because this scene was too terrifying. Imagine, a black snake over fifty meters long suddenly swaying and forking, becoming hundreds of equally long snakes……
What a WTF scene is this?
Fortunately, no one saw it.
And soon, Qin Jin-nian also got the final answer.
“Five hundred and twelve tentacles…… Twelve more than ten times……”
Although there was already the amplification of the extension distance as a base, his heart still shook violently at this moment……
Five hundred and twelve forks.
Each one could automatically change according to his will, and completely according to his will to dance……
How terrifying is this?
People say, two fists are hard to beat four hands, although in this extraordinary world, this sentence may not be entirely correct…… But two fists against five hundred and twelve…… no matter how you think about it, it should belong to the category of ‘hard to beat’, right?
If these five hundred and twelve were still completely connected in mind, not interfering with each other……
Then the terrifying degree would probably increase exponentially!
Of course, the premise is that their levels are close.
If the shadow tentacles couldn’t completely break through the defense.
Or if the other party had the ability to instantly kill him…… Five hundred and twelve? Five hundred and twelve million…… would be meaningless.
The sudden surprise shocked Qin Jin-nian a bit, and he simply sat on the spot and began to daydream, digesting this sudden surprise.
As time passed, after about ten minutes, a slight tingling sensation came from his brain, which brought him back to his senses.
Then his eyes lit up, revealing a smile……
Not bad, the effect of the mental strength increase was immediate.
Now he was at the limit of operating his shadow superpower, and after more than ten minutes, he only felt a little tired. The limit…… he could still hold on for at least another twenty minutes.
Much stronger than last night.
If he were this strong last night, wouldn’t he have killed the ordinary weird creatures wantonly?
“What a pity, what a pity……”
He was a little regretful.
If he hadn’t fainted after the shadow devour yesterday, he could have leveled up immediately and started hunting.
Then, by today, I wonder how much the dark shadow points would have increased? After all, that was the night of the blood moon, and weird creatures were rampant……
“Forget it, forget it, don’t think too much…… I’m a little tired, let’s eat something to recover.”
With a thought, the shadow tentacles at the bottom of the lake began to ripple outwards.
In just a short while, a smile appeared on Qin Jin-nian’s face.
A large number of shadow tentacles began to retract, and among them, dozens of tentacles were holding some fish of various sizes.
The small ones were about the size of a palm, and the large ones were as heavy as dozens of kilograms.
They were bound by the shadow tentacles and pulled directly to the waters near the shore.
The arc of their tail swings made the entire lake surface boil.
Qin Jin-nian was startled, and immediately with a thought, the shadow tentacles binding the fish exerted force, and these fish immediately had their bones broken and died completely.
And the fluctuations on the lake surface immediately disappeared.
Qin Jin-nian turned his head and looked around, confirming that no one had seen this scene, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he secretly pulled the fish nearby.
Catching hundreds of fish at once…… If those fishing enthusiasts discovered this, wouldn’t they be amazed?
Qin Jin-nian thought with a smile.
The next moment, he had a thought.
“Shadow devour!”
Whoosh, the shadow tentacles instantly retracted, and the next moment, a shadow instantly spread out.
