Start a core cabin

There is nothing much to say about what happened after that.

When the sun rose again, Duanmu Huai had already gone down the mountain and returned to the town, where he met Sha Jiuye. The latter was obviously panicked by the terrible earthquake, and even wanted to go up the mountain to find Duanmu Huai again. Fortunately, Duanmu Huai came back in time and comforted Sha Jiuye.

As for other people asking what happened on the mountain, Duanmu Huai said that he didn't know. I just planned to go to the cave to take a look, but I didn't. Then there was an earthquake, so I ran all the way and finally came back.

No one doubted this. After all, the earthquake was so strong that the situation on the mountain must be worse. Duanmu Huai was lucky to come back alive, and they didn't care much about the rest.

Duanmu Huai was not worried about being exposed. Although the traces of his battle with the drill demon worm were all over the mountain, so what? The real owner had completely melted, without even a hair left. And those traces can be said to be caused by the earthquake. Anyway, ordinary people can't think in this direction, right?

What if someone finds it?

Are you kidding? The confrontation between two mythical creatures is something that mortals can watch? I'll just drive you crazy without explaining.

The next step is simple. The outside world naturally discovered the situation here, and soon opened up the road, and began to transport supplies and post-disaster reconstruction. Of course, this has nothing to do with Duanmu Huai and his men. After opening up the road, Duanmu Huai drove Sha Jiuye away from here and returned to their residence.

This time out also made Sha Jiuye physically and mentally exhausted. After returning home, he went straight back to his room to rest, and Duanmu Huai also returned to his room, closed his eyes and began to review.

Frankly speaking, if Duanmu Huai himself were to evaluate, he felt that he did not do well this time.

But Duanmu Huai also felt wronged. After all, if this problem is taken seriously, the reason is not actually his.

As an Old One, Duanmu Huai currently has only a few abilities, including the ability to read the past when he went to Mary's world, the shadow copy and manipulation obtained from the Old One swallowed by Sundu Island, the tentacles and mental pollution unique to the Old One, and the Thousand Roars, Thousand Eyes and Thousand Beards obtained from the three Old Gods swallowed by C'Thun in Azeroth.

Among these abilities, Duanmu Huai uses the shadow copy more often, because it can be used to directly read the information and memory of other people. For the others, Duanmu Huai basically uses them casually. So from this point of view, Duanmu Huai is not actually a qualified Old One.

But he didn't think so!

If it weren't for the idiot Magnus who slid in and took the initiative to send it in, Duanmu Huai's Old One priesthood would not have been directly put into the enhanced trial!

Once again prove that the red-skinned one-eyed Ogryn is a fool who is more likely to cause trouble than to do good.

Although that guy has always been like this.

By the way, since it is an enhanced trial, it naturally has its benefits. In fact, Duanmu Huai received a prompt after destroying the burrowing demon worm and obtained an old essence. Duanmu Huai has three choices on how to use this old essence.

One is to use the old essence to strengthen the old abilities that he originally possessed, such as Thousand Roars, Thousand Eyes, Shadow, etc.

Another is to absorb the old essence and gain its abilities. Because Duanmu Huai defeated the burrowing demon worm this time, if Duanmu Huai absorbs this old essence, he will have the ability to dig holes and cause earthquakes like the burrowing demon worm.

The last one is to sacrifice the old essence, then choose to learn a skill, and increase its value to the highest. At the same time, add a background

These skills are basically the skills of investigators, such as stealth, lock picking, anthropology, etc.

But what makes Duanmu Huai most excited is that he actually saw the skill of charm in it, and the bonus can be increased to 95%!

Oh, if this is another world, Duanmu Huai must be ecstatic and dancing, charm, doesn't that mean he is a handsome guy? The kind that women can't take their eyes off? Isn't that cool?

However... this is a world of evil gods!

In addition, what I enhanced this time is the old priesthood, so this "charm" has to be questioned.

What is this that you are charming?

So what do you mean by the system? My 3 points of charm can only add an indescribable charm, right?

What are you charming? Is this charm? Or brainwashing?

Duanmu Huai remembered that he had encountered a similar task in the game. At that time, the husband suspected that his wife was cheating, and asked the player to investigate. Then the player followed the wife to investigate and found that she was indeed cheating because she was charmed by Naya, and the two of them were flirting. But when the player rushed in to catch the adultery, he saw that the woman was holding an indescribable twisting big white earthworm with a dazed look on her face...

Do you think the woman is fascinated?

Fascinated.

Charmed, right?

Charmed.

But do you want it?

Then... let's think about it again.

Duanmu Huai felt that he was not as shameless as Naya, at least he still had to fight for it, and he couldn't lower himself to the same level as the big white earthworm!

After all, the "charm" of the old evil gods was basically this kind of indescribable brainwashing stuff, and Duanmu Huai felt that he would not fall to the level of these monsters with faces like shoe horns.

But it's a pity that if the charm is removed, there are not many numerical bonuses above 90. If you want to talk about the numerical values ​​​​of skills such as fighting and melee weapons, Duanmu Huai itself is already 100%, and there is no need for bonuses at all.

As for that [prosthetic limb strike]... just pretend you didn't see it.

In fact, Duanmu Huai originally wanted to take the opportunity to enhance his shooting skills, but perhaps because these skills were based on his original values, even using the old essence shooting skills only added 10, which was a complete waste.

With Duanmuhuai's shooting skills, there is basically no difference between having these 10 and not having them.

Similarly, skills in the science department, such as anthropology, archeology, and astronomy, were also abandoned by Duanmu Huai, and the bonus was less than 20.

Let me state in advance that he is just too lazy to use his brain!

Duanmu Huai looked around and found that there were only a few skills that could increase the value of his skills to above 90.

One is [Animal Taming], which can be upgraded to 90 and used to tame animals - well, as for whether those animals are obedient because they like it or because they are afraid, Duanmuhuai doesn't even think about it.

Next is [Photography]. Perhaps because Duanmu Huai’s background setting this time includes photography, his initial photography skill is 60, and with a bonus of 30, it can reach 90. But in Duanmu Huai's opinion, this skill is basically useless, unless, perhaps, it can be used to take secret photos or something?

But I have a thousand eyes. Wouldn’t it be more convenient to just look at what I want?

In terms of interactive skills, Duan Muhuai's [Persuasion] and [Talk Skills] are both 0, and [Intimidation] is 100, so there is no need to add them at all. [Charm] gave a bonus of 95, but out of pride, Duanmuhuai decisively gave up.

After all, it’s hard to say whether this charm is serious or not.

The scientific skill bonuses are too low, so all of them will be abandoned.

Except for photography, the arts category has nothing to do with you, and the bonus is less than 20, so you can give up.

The next third skill that can reach 90 is [Explosion], probably because Duanmu Huai likes to blow up with melt bombs the most... although he just blows them up and doesn't bury them...

[Driving] was originally a good skill, but with Duanmu Huai's size, he couldn't drive most vehicles. Like a yacht or a helicopter, it would be great if Duanmu Huai could squeeze in. How about driving?

As for [lock-picking], Duanmu Huai thinks that it is an unnecessary skill. He can open no door without being hammered open! If you have time to unlock the lock, it would be more convenient to just blow it up!

Then there is [Hypnosis]... Well, just like [Charm], this [Hypnosis]... Well, don't think about it, it must be unorthodox. After all, hypnosis and brainwashing are standard equipment of evil gods.

Duanmu Huai has also appreciated many works in this area, such as "The Art of Worry", "Hypnosis Garden", "Hypnosis Game", "After-School Sleep Club", "Hypnosis of the Giant Mother" and so on... …

Hmm...why don't you order?

For a moment, Duanmu Huai really wanted to click on it, but luckily he stopped.

Phew... I almost fell for it. This must be the temptation of the evil god.

...No, I am the evil god?

That's okay.

Duanmu Huai hesitated for a long time between [Explosion] and [Hypnosis], and finally chose [Explosion]. After all, this was one of the few hobbies Duanmu Huai had after traveling through time. Seeing everything being destroyed in the explosion, That feeling is really refreshing, especially considering that the explosions destroyed some cultists or evil gods, it's even more satisfying.

And in Duanmu Huai's judgment, it's always right to blow up when something happens.

[Sacrifice the essence of the old gods to increase the explosion skill to 95]

As the system's information flashed by, the next moment Duanmuhuai felt that a lot of knowledge suddenly appeared in his mind, including how to assemble, dismantle, make homemade bombs, as well as the ratios, raw materials and circuits, etc. It seems that this should be the benefit that the system brings to him. If it is scientific knowledge, it is probably the same - but Duanmu Huai has no regrets. The reason is very simple. He usually doesn't like to use his brain, and even if he learns it, he won't necessarily Go use it.

It's like everyone has learned geometry, but who will use it unless necessary?

Duanmuhuai is even less capable.

Therefore, even if he was given some knowledge of anthropology and archeology, Duanmuhuai would not use it. Over time, he would completely forget it all, just like a college student tutoring an elementary school student to write their math homework.

Those are quite suitable for Mary. Although Duanmuhuai can't see Mary's panel, he thinks Mary's archeology should be above 90... Although it is useless to talk about these now.

On the contrary, this skill of being able to blow anything up to the sky anytime, anywhere is very practical for Duanmu Huai.

After all, just explode if you don't decide when something happens.

After Duanmuhuai clicked, the next line of system prompts soon appeared.

[Please select a background reward]

[A: Good luck opening (your photo studio has been renovated and will open soon)]

[B: Fame has risen (the heroic deeds of your brothers and sisters have spread and attracted the attention of interested people)]

Photo studio......

Duanmu Huai really wants to open a photo studio. After all, he has heard the stories that photographers and photo studios have to tell. But unfortunately, considering his situation, no matter whether it is serious or not serious photography, he will not be approached. Come and help.

So... Duanmu Huai silently chose B.

Next, let’s see which rabbit comes to the door.

After solving the problem, Duanmuhuai stood up, stretched, walked to the window and looked out at the scenery. This trial is completely different from Journey to the West. Maybe it's because of his priesthood. As the God of Destruction, he naturally wants to destroy. It's simple and crude. But the old days were obviously not that simple, and Duanmu Huai was not sure when his time in this world would be over. After all, everyone in Journey to the West knows that as long as you get the sutra, you will pass. It doesn't matter how you get it.

But here…………

Forget it, it depends on the situation.

Duanmuhuai shook his head and yawned again.

Take a rest first and see what happens next.
