19: Chapter 19 Confusing Information
Lin Sheng remembered very clearly that during the fight with the Tentacled Tyrannosaurus just now, he had distinctly felt those tentacles piercing into his flesh.
Looking at the situation on the field now, the part of the tentacles that had pierced into his flesh seemed to have disappeared from the Tentacled Tyrannosaurus's body.
"Hiss—"
At the thought of this, every scale on Lin Sheng's body stood on end.
He suddenly felt an itching sensation all over his body.
This feeling came very suddenly; the more Lin Sheng thought about those tentacles, the more intense the sensation became.
"System, what is my current physical condition?"
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. Lin Sheng couldn't help but ask his system, seeking psychological comfort.
[Ding]
[The Host's current physical condition is very healthy. On this planet, the Host is nearly invincible among those of the same size.]
Hearing the system say this, Lin Sheng felt slightly better.
He followed up by asking:
"Then System, what were those things that just entered my body?"
"Will they cause any negative effects on my body?"
After asking, Lin Sheng felt a bit nervous.
He was deathly afraid the system would say something like: There's no hope, just go die.
[Ding]
[Those tentacles are chaotic information emitted by a low-level civilization. They will not have a significant impact on the Host's body; the Host may simply ignore them.]
The system's explanation left Lin Sheng deep in thought.
The amount of information carried in those words was quite large; Lin Sheng needed to ponder it carefully for a while.
First was the system's term for the tentacles that had invaded Lin Sheng's body. No matter how he looked at it, "chaotic information" didn't seem to have any connection to tentacles, did it?
First of all, these tentacles were biological organs, while "chaotic information," from its literal meaning, was just data, wasn't it?
How could biological organs be called information?
Lin Sheng wanted to ask the system for a clear explanation, but the system didn't offer any further clarification.
Seeing that the system wouldn't explain, Lin Sheng had no choice. He set the "chaotic information" aside for now and continued to mull over what the system had just said.
The system only said that these tentacles—or rather, information—would not have a "significant" impact on his body.
However, the word "significant" made Lin Sheng feel a bit uneasy.
He worried that this "significance" was a conclusion based on his "Immortal Consciousness" talent.
Like that Tentacled Tyrannosaurus just now, after being completely enraged by Lin Sheng, its body and consciousness had clearly fallen into madness.
But Lin Sheng's consciousness was incapable of falling into madness.
Because of this, Lin Sheng was very worried that one day in the future, his body might also turn into one of those creatures covered in strange tentacles.
In such a state, Lin Sheng was very worried about whether his body would still be obedient.
"System..."
[Ding]
[The Host need not worry.]
[This system has already made it very clear; the chaotic information comes from a low-level civilization and will not bring a significant impact to the Host.]
[If the Host is still uneasy, this system can explicitly tell the Host that as long as the Host evolves a law level physical strengthening talent, this information can be eliminated.]
Hearing the system's guarantee, Lin Sheng didn't feel much happier.
The law level was ranked even higher than the Balance Grade. A single Balance Grade "Immaculate Body" required nearly 100 million evolution points.
From this, one could see that if one wanted to directionally evolve a Balance Grade talent, the consumption of evolution points would be measured in units of at least "hundreds of millions."
As for the number of evolution points required for the law level talent ranked behind it, Lin Sheng didn't even dare to imagine.
Although Lin Sheng's current physical condition didn't seem very good, he didn't become dejected because of it.
Just as he had thought before, possessing the Truth of "Immortal Consciousness," he was naturally in an invincible position when facing any life-or-death crisis.
"System, thanks for the explanation. I understand."
After thanking the system, Lin Sheng extended his claws toward the piece of "charcoal" beside him.
Then, he butchered the corpse and ate in turn.
evolution points +4123
evolution points +6543
evolution points +5421
...
With tens of thousands of evolution points rolling in, Lin Sheng felt that the previous Droplet Scatter was simply trash.
That Droplet Scatter also had a body size of over 30 meters, yet it only gave Lin Sheng roughly six thousand evolution points.
Compared to the Tentacled Tyrannosaurus, the difference was more than just a little bit.
After finishing off the Tentacled Tyrannosaurus, Lin Sheng looked toward the depths of the Plain.
He planned to find some time recently to go over there and take a look.
Although Lin Sheng had used Soul Out of Body to see the situation there before, it was never as real as experiencing it in person.
In the Out-of-Body state, Lin Sheng always felt a sense of insignificance when looking at other creatures, to the point where it was difficult for him to distinguish their actual size.
...
Before heading to the central area, Lin Sheng needed to boost his strength.
"system grandfather, let's have a random draw."
He called out to the system in his heart, intending to go all-in.
In a random draw, although there was no pity system, there was also no upper limit to the prizes.
If his luck exploded this time and he directly pulled a Truth Level talent related to the physical body—say, "Immortal Body" or something—then Lin Sheng felt he could become truly invincible.
Of course, this was just Lin Sheng's fantasy.
He didn't think his luck would be that good.
If a talent of that level actually appeared, Lin Sheng would only think the draw was rigged by the system.
Of course, even if it was rigged, he would never expose such a beneficial rig.
[Ding]
[Random draw consumes 1,000,000 evolution points. Host's current Evolution point balance: 1,709,858. Do you wish to continue?]
Perhaps the system felt Lin Sheng's evolution points were running low, so it thoughtfully gave him a second confirmation before the draw.
"Continue."
Lin Sheng answered in his heart.
[Ding]
[Consumed 1,000,000 evolution points. Random draw beginning.]
Seeing the colorful lights flashing on the draw interface, Lin Sheng's heart pounded.
Based on his experience, this was definitely a top-tier item.
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: oracle (Version 1.0) One-time use opportunity.]
Seeing that the item drawn was an object and only had one use, Lin Sheng felt an indescribable sense of disappointment.
But on second thought, if an item with only one use could trigger such special effects, then just how strong could it be?
Thinking of this, Lin Sheng's mood shifted from disappointment to anticipation.
"System, tell me what this oracle (1.0) is."
From the item's description, it should be a machine or a weapon of some sort.
But as for its specific use, it was impossible for Lin Sheng to know; he still needed to ask the system.
