536: Chapter 417 Unique Bullet 536: Chapter 417 Unique Bullet “Now, it seems a good start has been made, but at present, that’s about as far as it can go.

It’s better not to get too deeply involved with them for the time being…”

Zhang Xiaoman considered the events that had occurred today and felt that things were relatively stable.

The Star Alliance needs time to accumulate resources, and before that time comes, even if there’s to be contact with the outside world, it must be done little by little.

Aside from the timing he had planned for, when it comes down to it, all of this is still linked to strength.

If one’s own strength is strong enough, then there’s no need to hide or disguise anything.

Anyone with the notion of targeting him could only cease their aggression and be at a standstill.

Those so-called difficulties just need to be pushed through straightforwardly.

Zhang Xiaoman was keenly aware of this point, so he had been continuously striving to enhance his strength recently.

System lottery draws are highly unstable, after all, they are purely luck-based.

So, if he wants to improve, he can only rely on Dark Energy cultivation.

After training these past few days, his Dark Energy limit had increased to 350 points, and with the cape, it could reach 420 points.

A large part of the credit goes to the Touching Spirit Flower; each flower can increase the speed of his Dark Energy cultivation for the day by ten times.

Over a twenty-four-hour day, if he dedicated all his time to intensive cultivation, he could nearly add twenty more points to his limit.

However, the only thing limiting him is the growth speed of the Touching Spirit Flower, which can’t keep up with the consumption.

Now, even just for his own use, he can only utilize it every few days.

If he wants to scale up the usage, he must find other ways.

The first thing Zhang Xiaoman thought of was the Growth Spell in the Magic Gift Package, which is described as speeding up the growth of plants at the cost of 500 points of Dark Energy.

He didn’t know whether this would work on the Touching Spirit Flower, but if the skill truly proved effective, it would undoubtedly speed up his acquisition of the flowers.

Zhang Xiaoman was very much looking forward to this, just waiting until his Dark Energy reached 500 points so he could use the ability.

He had almost fully mastered all the skills in the Magic Gift Package by now, with only this last one exceeding his current Dark Energy limit and thus being unusable.

Among these skills, although some seemed unreliable, there were several very impressive abilities, such as the Iron Armor Spell which could enhance defense, and the Recovery Spell used for healing.

Zhang Xiaoman had tested it before: after activating Iron Armor and Magic Shield, he had Jannan shoot at him and easily blocked the attack, consuming much less Dark Energy than before.

The Recovery Spell is now Xiao Shun’s main attack skill; given that he’s a doctor and has learned the Recovery Spell, he seems to be developing in the direction of a “battle medic.”

As for his newly mastered Expelling Spell, it’s a rather incredible ability.

Its effect is to create a Barrier that makes ordinary people subconsciously overlook whatever’s within the Barrier.

Zhang Xiaoman found that this Barrier isn’t fixed as he had initially imagined.

Instead, it can adhere to an object, and he had used this ability today to have a box appear in the playground.

By ordinary people, it is clearly meant those who do not possess Dark Energy.

Of course, this skill only makes people overlook, not become blind.

If you were to slap someone, they would still take notice of you.

But overall, this skill is quite impressive, especially since it can be added as a status effect to a Magic Scroll.

Oh, it’s not called a Magic Scroll anymore, Zhang Xiaoman has renamed it to Spirit Binding Scroll.

At this moment, in the sky above, the gigantic Dawn was circling around the center, Sheep Village.

Zhang Xiaoman sat in the command chair, silently observing the scenes below through the holographic screen.

Everything he had heard within the Azure Dragon Army base today had likewise left him with a restless heart.

The situation inside Sheep Village was even more serious than he initially thought.

He had believed it was just the presence of a Space Node, with maybe just more monsters nearby than usual, and that he could handle them all given some time.

But now, it seemed that in addition to a bunch of lesser monsters, there were several BOSSes.

It’s as if a normal level-up map had suddenly become a high-difficulty team dungeon, and the seven BOSSes in this dungeon were clumped together.

This made things somewhat difficult.

Not to mention, there was also a large creature inside that could hatch at any moment.

Even for Zhang Xiaoman, venturing deep into the Mist to slay monsters was dangerous.

After all, exactly what was inside remained uncertain, and many of the monsters were ones he had never seen before.

Therefore, a detailed battle plan needed careful consideration.

That afternoon, Zhang Xiaoman had explored the periphery of the Mist.

He had used Star Guards to survey the area and understood the characteristics of the monsters there to prepare for future forays into the Mist.

Perhaps because there were fewer monsters outside, he had wandered around that afternoon without encountering many Alien Species, but he did encounter a fair number of Red Split Dogs, which earned him a few tens of points.

That evening, when he returned to Rebirth Island, it was already the early hours of the morning there.

Most people had gone to sleep, but one person was still waiting for him.

“Star Lord, here are the bullets you requested.

I’ve made them for you.

Take a look.”

The person speaking was Jannan.

He held in one hand several bullets of a unique design and in the other, a handgun.

“Oh?

You’ve made them so quickly?

Thanks for your hard work, Old Zhan.”

Zhang Xiaoman took the items to examine them, expressing his gratitude at the same time.

As for the nickname Old Zhan, this was Jannan’s own preference; he said that when he was in Huaxia, he quite liked people calling him that.

Squeezing the bullets in his hand, Zhang Xiaoman then held them up to his eye to take a closer look.

The tip of the bullet was different from standard ones; its front end was hollow, and it appeared to be made of glass, but in reality, it was made from a special kind of military-grade plastic.

Inside the bullet tip, there was a silver-white liquid gently swaying, and at a glance, it seemed to emanate a sense of sin.

This liquid was the Unicorn Blood that Zhang Xiaoman had purchased from the store.

A few days ago, he had attempted to make Holy Water Bullets for future emergencies.

However, the dried-up Water Bombs he tried to insert wouldn’t absorb any of it and floated on top.

After several hours, they hadn’t soaked up a single drop.

That’s when Zhang Xiaoman had confirmed a suspicion in his mind.

It seemed that Unicorn Blood could not be turned into Water Bombs for attack purposes.
