73. Virus Infection

"Old Feng, how about this helmet?"

Big Pineapple happily put on a new helmet. The shape of this helmet is a bit strange. It has a green-brown python head and is covered with scales. It looks like the head of an Egyptian pharaoh's scepter.

But the big pineapple obviously didn't care, because the attributes of this helmet were really good, not only the defense factor was as high as C-, but also had 2% energy defense of all attributes.

"still alright!"

Feng Luo replied.

When he said this, he felt that his voice was not right, why did his body seem a little hot?

"Huh? Old Feng, why is your complexion not so good, you must be sick."

At this moment, Big Pineapple also noticed that something was wrong with Feng Luo, so he approached him and asked.

There is also a "sick" state in the game. If the player stays in the extreme environment for a long time, there may be a decline in physical strength, dizziness, weakness and other sick states.

In this state, the player's doctor profession cannot be solved. He has to go back to the city to find an NPC doctor or suffer until the sickness disappears.

Feng Luo's face was pale now, his voice was hoarse, and his body began to feel hot, which seemed to be a sign of illness.

"Check your physical condition!"

After thinking about it, Feng Luo gave an order to the personal terminal by voice.

The federal government equips adventurers with tiny nano-probes on the personal terminals that can check the body's condition, and can even cooperate with the biochips in the body to check the blood and even the state of the cells in the body in detail.

Then, after the inspection program started running for about a minute, a red warning sign suddenly flashed on the personal terminal.

"Warning, it has been detected that your body has been infected by an unidentifiable virus. The type of virus... cannot be identified. For your health, please go to the doctor as soon as possible. Recommended hospital: Stormwind City General Hospital, grade: first-class class A , with 37 expert doctors..."

"Unknown virus infection? What's going on!"

Feng Luo was startled, and hurriedly looked through the system logs during this period.

["You were attacked by an infected mutated python and infected by a mutated virus. The remaining time to complete the infection: six hours. Infection result prediction: 50% chance, permanent increase of all basic attributes by 2 points; 50% chance, permanent loss of all basic attributes 2:00!"】

Seeing this, Feng Luo felt a chill in his heart.

In the game, the basic attributes of the players can be increased, generally speaking, only by upgrading and equipment.

But in addition, there are some special cases.

When "War Discipline" was launched half a month ago, a player broke the news on the forum that he had obtained a permanent "strength +3" attribute because of taking a potion during a plot mission.

Then that post became popular, and some players who added attributes in other ways responded one after another.

At that time, players will know that in this game, the basic attributes can be permanently increased in some cases, not only the two ways of upgrading and equipment.

Of course, there are increases and decreases.

There are often players complaining on the forum in frustration, saying that their attributes have been permanently reduced for some reason, and they ask the game company to restore their attributes.

However, Tianxing Company refused to agree to this request at all.

Customer service has always been a standard reply. "Warrior" is a game with a high degree of freedom. Players must explore and solve attribute problems caused by various reasons in the game!

Feng Luo also read that post in the mood of watching the excitement before. He was naturally envious of those whose attributes increased, and gloated at those whose attributes decreased.

But he didn't expect it to be his turn this time.

A 50% chance, half of half, doesn't seem to be at a disadvantage.

But in fact, with Feng Luo's character, even if there is a 90% chance of increasing attributes,

There is only a 10% chance of reducing attributes, so he is not very willing to try.

He prefers to be able to control his own character development, but right now, things are getting out of hand.

"Ah, I found it. Sure enough, there is an evolutionary virus in the blood of this giant python! But it should be a virus that has undergone many mutations. The blood of this giant python is very valuable for research. We have to collect some!"

At this time, the middle-aged scientist suddenly said loudly, speaking to his young assistant in a very excited tone.

"The virus in the python's blood, the virus in my body?"

Feng Luo's heart skipped a beat.

At this moment, he thought of this scientist named Eke, who was an expert in genetics and virology in the Red Queen's introduction before, and from what he said just now, his mission here should be related to "evolving viruses"!

"The evolutionary virus, judging from the name, it is reasonable to say that it should increase the attribute, right? How could there be a result of reducing the attribute?"

"However, the word "virus" itself does not represent a good meaning, and it seems reasonable to have side effects."

"This Eke is an expert in NPC virology, and he seems to have research on this evolutionary virus. Will he be able to solve my problems?"

"Wait, is this actually a hidden mission?"

Feng Luo's mind turned a few times, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.

Could it be that being infected by a virus is actually a kind of hidden mission, after the player is infected, they communicate with NPC to trigger the hidden mission process?

The more Feng Luo thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.

Experts in genetics and virology, evolutionary viruses, it doesn't matter how you look at it.

Moreover, 2 points for all basic attributes!

You must know that in "War Discipline", each level up only has one free attribute, and every two levels up, all the basic attributes of "strength, agility, intelligence, and constitution" +1.

Two points for all attributes is almost equivalent to two levels of attributes. If it is really reduced permanently, then the loss is really too great.

"Mr. Eck, I don't know what the evolutionary virus you are talking about. The terminal detected that my body was infected by an unrecognizable virus. Could it be the evolutionary virus you mentioned?"

Making a judgment in his heart, Feng Luo immediately spoke.

"what?"

When Eke heard this, his face froze.

But the girl named Lin flashed a certain look under her black-rimmed glasses. From this point of view, the reason why she stared at Feng Luo with a strange expression just now was because she had already discovered the problem.

"How do you feel now?"

Eke quickly got up from the python and walked over.

"The throat is uncomfortable, and the whole body is hot!"

Feng Luo became more and more sure that this might really be a hidden mission!

"I'm going to get some blood for you to test!"

With a serious face, Eke immediately opened the box and took out a small syringe from it.

"Damn it, Old Feng, what's going on? It depends on the situation, it's a hidden mission, you posted it!"

In the team channel, Big Pineapple said with envy.

"Yes, I sent it. The system prompts that if you are infected with this virus, there is a 50% chance that all attributes will be +2!"

Feng Luo smiled, deliberately only talking about the first half.

When everyone heard this, their faces were all happy, and they turned to look at the blood of the giant python on the ground eager to try.

"There is still a 50% chance that all attributes will be -2 points!" Feng Luo only spoke the second half at this time.

"..." Everyone was stunned.

A half-and-half chance is not a bad thing, but if they had to choose, they would definitely not be willing.

The main thing is to increase the basic attributes by 8 points, and it is impossible to say how much better than expert players, but once the basic attributes are reduced by 8 points, it feels weaker than ordinary players.

"Let's see what the NPC said first. Sorry, Mr. Feng!"

The red queen said, after all, although Feng Luo might have triggered the hidden mission, in the game "War Discipline", just because the mission was triggered does not mean that the mission can be completed.

If Feng Luo lost her attributes because of this, she must feel a little bit sorry, because for players of their level, even a single attribute point is very important.

So she apologized first.
