Wizard: Become stronger by drawing cards from the potions variety show

Long Muba felt an itch on the side of his palm. He raised his hand and found that a gap had appeared faintly where he had torn the white mist, and wisps of mist were emitting outward.

Although he didn't know what the mist meant, he instinctively felt that something was wrong because his body had become much weaker.

He tried to cover it with his other hand, but the mist still flowed out through his fingers.

"no effect……"

Not only that, the worse problem was that the mist escaping from his palms seemed to attract the mist spreading over the lake. The thick white mist visible to the naked eye was slowly drifting towards him, faintly surrounding him.

The current scene is like sharks swarming in after smelling blood, and the white mist on the palm is the blood escaping from the water.

The surrounding white mist seemed to be moving slowly, but it was actually very fast.

Not long after his wound was exposed, the fog around him became much thicker.

The voices of my family members who had already gone away in my imagination rang in my ears again, and I could vaguely smell the familiar fragrance.

Obviously, the fog that he had torn apart before had come back again, and was trying to confuse him with illusions again, so that he could be digested like the other players.

But at this moment, Long Muba's mind moved, and he seemed to sense something...

After two brief contacts, he keenly sensed that the core of the white mist was actually an evolution of the very familiar [jealousy] characteristic.

Previously, he used his strength to forcibly tear apart the white mist, and although it temporarily suppressed the illusion of the white mist, when the illusion came back the second time, it seemed that because it had a better understanding of him, the realism of the illusion was even more intense than the first time.

Obviously, if you use violence to resist, the white fog will continue to grow stronger. If this goes on, there will always be a time when you can't bear it anymore. You will be confused by the illusion and unable to wake up, just like other players who were swallowed by the white fog.

So this is definitely not the right approach.

Considering that the topic of this level is evolution, and I have integrated the jealousy trait, maybe I can start from this aspect...

His expression was somewhat hesitant...

But soon, he revealed a determined look, and just as he was about to move, his body stiffened again, and lightning appeared on his body again, but it went out again.

Long Muba said in a low voice:

“Although the white mist has no lingering color, perhaps it can also be used as an advanced fusion material?”

"If we try to sense and contain the white mist, maybe that would be the right thing to do. You think so, right?"

"If we can merge with the white mist, we will have a chance to turn the tables even against Wang Yu. Wang Yu is Li Ting's biggest competitor, and Wang Yu and Lu Zhicheng have a good relationship. If I want to help Li Ting, I must grow to their level in a short period of time so that I can help my master..."

"Of course, if things don't go as I expected, I'll probably have to wait for resurrection from the brink of death... But this is the price I have to pay for evolution, right? If I can't even give up a life that can be resurrected from the brink of death, how can I say that I love her?"

Long Muba was talking to himself, a person was constantly talking to himself.

He was trying to convince himself to accept this plan.

As he continued to give reasons for doing so, the chaotic voices in his head seemed to reach a consensus, and he regained full control of his body.

Long Muba breathed a sigh of relief, but then he cursed out loud as if to vent his anger: "Damn it, damn it, damn it!"

Because of Li Ting's orders, when it comes to issues that may endanger his life, he will give priority to following Li Ting's orders: to ensure his own life safety.

It was a simple action, but he encountered difficulties in executing it. Several consciousnesses had completely different commands for the body, so he had to spend more time and effort to convince his other consciousnesses to agree with his decision.

It's sad and ridiculous to live like this without being able to control your own body.

Fortunately, it worked in the end. By finding some reasonable reasons to rationalize my original intentions, I actually succeeded in getting the recognition of the other half of the consciousness. It seems that the consciousness catalyzed by the so-called lustful sub-body is still effective through verbal negotiations and deception, perhaps because it has only existed for a short time.

The expression on Long Muba's face quickly changed from anger to joy, and the rapid change of expression looked a little weird.

But he couldn't see his own expression at all, and was still thinking about his next plan in his heart:

Try to accept and comprehend the white mist. If your guess is correct, you will be able to accommodate a powerful material and your combat power will be greatly improved. Even if you fail, you can be resurrected from the brink of death and break free from control. Either way, you will not lose.

Moreover, through this persuasion, Long Muba discovered a problem, that is, Li Ting's control over herself seemed to have weakened a lot.

Because before this, it was difficult for Long Muba to distinguish which thoughts were generated by himself and which were controlled by the seeds of lust that were parasitic in his body. However, during this behavior, his thoughts conflicted, and he clearly felt the opposition between the two thoughts.

Being able to distinguish between my own thoughts and the thoughts of my lustful sub-body is much better than before.

He now needs to figure out why this control has weakened. Perhaps he can make targeted arrangements to get rid of the control.

Of course, this is something to consider later...

Long Muba put away his thoughts. Faced with the danger visible to the naked eye, he did not choose to tear the fog apart like he did last time, but closed his eyes silently.

He used his talent for replication and consciously activated the skill of [Jealousy Incarnate].

After the skill took effect, he suddenly had an inexplicable feeling. The white mist surrounding him suddenly became cute and vivid, like a ferocious and hideous monster turning into a cute puppy.

The two are connected by the [jealousy] characteristic.

He reflected the white mist and could feel the white mist's instinctive strong jealousy towards conscious creatures.

It is precisely because of jealousy that the white mist is devouring all conscious creatures. It is also because of jealousy that before devouring, the white mist will project the strongest emotions of conscious creatures and record and absorb them.

Long Muba subconsciously stretched out his hand and gently stroked it. The originally invisible white mist actually had a subtle soft touch when Long Muba touched it...

When he opened his eyes again, he found that although he was surrounded by fog, it was only at a normal level. The fog had no tendency to gather again. The wound on his palm had healed quietly. He should have been happy, but he felt a sense of loss.

"I can't actually merge with Bai Wu. I can clearly feel that Bai Wu and I are in tune with each other. Is it because my ability is not enough..."

"Then I can only collect other materials first to see if I can quickly stimulate the growth of my abilities. Before that..."

Long Muba turned his face to one side, and through the diffuse mist, he seemed to see Li Ting landing in another place of the Needle Tip Oasis. At this moment, Li Ting was carefully observing the surrounding environment.

"We can only let the white fog delay for some time..."

……

Not only the Needlepoint Oasis, but every area has undergone similar changes since the start of this competition:

In the feast, players are no longer guests being invited, but excellent ingredients being fought over...

Under the quiet moonlight in the quiet swamp, everyone looked up at the sky, their bodies gradually turned into mud and slowly sank...

In the Raging Volcano area, the volcano erupted violently, and hot magma overflowed. From the magma, huge lava monsters with alternating red and orange bodies emerged continuously. They attacked all players, and the offensive swept the entire area. Everyone was facing endless flames...

In the previous round, the area that the players thought was safe is now full of danger.

The players who were originally ready to do a great job suffered a Waterloo as soon as they entered the game. They even had to pay the price of their lives to get out of the near-death state because they did not have time to gather their emotions.

……

Wang Yu stood at the feast, raised his head, looked at the flames rising into the sky, and a huge mouth appeared on his body. He laughed and absorbed the nearby flames into his body.

He had already anticipated what was happening.

He even knew the origins of these areas.

These four areas are induced by the remaining curse seeds from the previous level. They will grow faster relying on the players' emotions. Correspondingly, they will also provide help to the players, making it easier for them to provide them with more emotions.

Therefore, starting from the second collection, these areas will try to differentiate into various forms under the influence of the curse seeds.

In other words, the materials previously distributed in these areas were essentially products derived from the initial differentiation of the Curse Seed, and now, the Curse Seed will further deepen the corresponding emotions.

Because of this, more materials will appear here as derivatives in this process.

The materials invested will have emotional characteristics under the induction of emotions. These materials will be absorbed by the players to generate more related emotions. These related emotions will be fed back to the curse seeds, further evolving in the direction of positive feedback.

In this way, players, materials, and curse seeds complete a cycle based on emotions.

In this process, the relationship between the three will become closer and closer.

As the materials merge with the players, the characteristics of the materials themselves are absorbed by the curse seeds, the elements of the materials will fade, and the players and the curse seeds will have a direct and close connection.

Materials drive the entire process. When the entire cycle is completed, the materials will not be treated as separate individuals, but will be integrated into every link of the process.

This cyclic process is what you see before your eyes - the process of the curse seed evolving and affecting the players.

In the entire evolution process, players, as suppliers of emotions, are also the source of growth for the seeds of curse.

The Curse Seed will be like a greedy child, and will naturally want to absorb more nutrition from the players. In this process, players who are more compatible with the Curse Seed will stand out from everyone.

Eventually becoming the host of the cursed seed.

That's right...

The host...

Players who perform well in this level, have a strong resonance with the Curse Seed, and have a close connection with it will be chosen by the Curse Seed and become its host.

Zhuo Ling was the host chosen early on by the Seed of Rage Curse, no other.

This method of selecting a host to parasitize is completely different from the way Wang Yu himself merged with the curse seed.

When Wang Yu merged, the Curse Seed was in its larval stage. The relationship between the two was equal, even though the proportions were different. However, after the fusion, they ultimately represented an individual, and the player's proportion was even larger.

As for parasitism, two individuals are distinguished between primary and secondary. Although they will eventually form one individual, it is the main body that devours the host. Unfortunately, the cursed seed that has passed the larval stage is the main body.

In other words, although Zhuo Ling still retains her consciousness for the time being, as time goes by, she will eventually be devoured by the curse seed that is parasitic in her body, and while completing herself, she will also evolve into a monster.

Wang Yu's expression became a little solemn. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his expression returned to calm.

At the end of the evolution chapter, theoretically there will be seven to eight players left, but in reality, the number of people eliminated during the whole process is far more than expected.

In the simulation that Wang Yu saw, Lu Zhicheng was eliminated in the second round, and he and Li Ting, the two favorites to win the championship, also lost in the third round. The final winner was Zhuo Ling in front of him.

The reason was that Zhuo Ling became the host of the Seed of Rage Curse, and in the second and third stages she came from behind, catching up with and surpassing Wang Yu at an incredible pace.

Thinking of this, the ending scene in the simulator appeared in front of Wang Yu’s eyes again.

Zhuo Ling begged him to kill her because she could no longer control her thoughts or her body. But Wang Yu was powerless. In Zhuo Ling's desperate eyes, Wang Yu watched her burn herself to ashes...

In order to avoid such a tragedy from happening in the future, there are two key nodes that need to be changed. The first step has been handled in the previous round, and the second step is now...

Wang Yu looked at Zhuo Ling who was protecting other players behind her not far away, and said softly:

"This time, Lu Zhicheng will not sacrifice himself to help you, and I will not give you the opportunity to devour all the resources..."

Wang Yu felt helpless. After all, he was a human being and he couldn't just sit there and watch a monster escape from here.

"No matter what, the final winner can and can only be among the three of us... Any unstable factors other than us can only be eliminated..."

"I'm sorry, but I have a reason to eliminate you."
