Chapter 005: The Alienator

Slowly digesting various pieces of information, Zhou Baiyu closed his eyes and began to contemplate the upcoming arrangements

Flexibility, muscular endurance, strength, and core are all impeccable

The information in his eyes, along with the notion of version updates, made Zhou Baiyu feel that this apocalyptic journey was cloaked in the guise of a "game," concealing a terrifying core within.

Specialty: Possesses a certain degree of intimidation

Countless laughter filled with suggestive meaning erupted

Digesting the information in the introduction, he forced himself to remain calm and followed behind the apprentice.

If this is a life-saving skill, then it must be used with even greater caution

As for your profession... well, it is the profession with the most randomness among the nine major professions. Alright, let me rephrase that, it is the profession with the most diverse ways of dying

All building facades are visible with some strange tentacles gently writhing, covered in crimson eyes

For example, is there a limit to the number of times one can alienate oneself, and will there be any judgments such as "blue consumption"?

In the future, I will update your introduction and evaluation at any time based on your performance, but the deceased do not require evaluation

Item Name: Ornament worn around the neck

Status: Corruption Value 7.4

This scene is undoubtedly the fantasy of countless otaku being transported into the second dimension by a dump truck.

Even if it is just a fleeting glance, Zhou Baiyu can see the exaggerated figures of the succubi that only exist in comics

Especially in the courtyard of the inpatient department, it was filled with withered corpses

Introduction: They are favored by the succubus for their attractive heads, yet their consciousness has been completely cleansed, rendering them mere ornaments. Although they are alive, they do not qualify as living beings

Thus, imitating the three young apprentices, he did so with utmost ease

Specialty: Appealing in appearance, yet disappointing enough to make zombies leave.

The entire corridor shone brilliantly, adorned not only with some natural minerals but also with peculiar crystals favored by decaying entities

He had only just stepped inside when several young apprentices, guided by the people and animals, began to disperse in various directions

Choosing this version without knowing one's own limitations... Does it mean that one can actively choose which version to challenge?

At this moment, he must be cautious, after all, there are still many things that have not been clarified. For example, what is the deviation value

Introduction: These individuals, like you, have been summoned here, or they have foolishly chosen this version of the world, but having failed the challenge, they remain here forever

Once the level of corruption in a region reaches a certain degree, a sense of stagnation and decay will emerge

However, just when Zhou Baiyu thought it was impossible to check his "attributes," this thought flashed through his mind, and information unexpectedly emerged in his mind

However, a deviation rate of 99% seems to indicate that this skill is quite unreliable

However, he did not lose heart

Very well, I have been mocked

Personal Exclusive Traits: "Sixth Sense Player" "Orator" "Unstable Growth" "Unknown Trait" (The Unknown Trait will be unlocked when the corruption value reaches 100)

He looked at the head of the apprentice and found that as long as he concentrated, the corresponding content would also appear.

Status: Non-differentiable (Insufficient capability)

It is precisely for this reason that you can apply alienation to it

As for the concept of corruption value... this concept is currently unknown.

Occupation: Alienator

Alienation

The carriage started moving, its speed was extremely fast, which naturally resulted in a bumpy ride

This description style, why does it feel like some sort of vulgar game

Clearly, he is able to see the things introduced, limited to inanimate objects that can be alienated

Uncertain how much time had passed ... ... Zhou Baiyu heard the ringing sound

He certainly cannot see the scenery outside, but the wind occasionally stirs the curtains, allowing him to catch a fleeting glimpse of the world beyond the car through the fluttering ribbons

Purple crystals are embedded in the walls on both sides of the corridor, reflecting the beautiful profiles of the four young attendants, making it impossible to discern that this place was once a hospital

However, what is referred to as awakening is merely transitioning from a state of apparent death into a state of hypnosis

The curtain of the carriage was lifted. In the eighth carriage, four handsome men, unperturbed, lined up to disembark.

Dense and numerous, all hanging on the ropes, swaying with the wind, the corpses still move

Upon entering this level, Zhou Baiyu distinctly felt the difference between this level and the others

After more than two hours of travel, Zhou Baiyu finally arrived at the city occupied by the monsters

Such bumps did not affect Zhou Baiyu inside the vehicle

Zhou Baiyu gazed at other areas

Or will it make a lot of noise, alarming the guards outside the carriage

Soon, only the last three apprentices and the guiding human remained inside the staircase

Seventh floor of the inpatient department building

Seeing such a horrifying scene, Zhou Baiyu's ability to remain calm like the other young apprentices can be considered a testament to his courage

Succubi seem to have a natural affinity for shiny ornaments

They pressed against the glass, twisting their bodies, their gazes burning as they stared at the humans who entered

[Status: Can be altered, deviation rate ninety-nine percent. Is alteration possible?]

When the level of corruption reaches grade B or above, it will give rise to some strange phenomena

These exclusive traits should be my initial abilities. Perhaps they are the key to breaking the deadlock

This city still reveals a trace of its past, but more so, it is filled with a sense of unfamiliarity and fear

Zhou Baiyu was not particularly nervous, as this body seemed capable of executing various actions quite well

It is evident that I cannot afford to love

However, since it is cloaked in the guise of a game, do other game elements still exist?

It is as if a monster comparable in size to the city is hidden beneath the ground, its bones piercing through the surface

In that case, can I induce the alienation of inanimate objects? The specific effects of this alienation are currently unknown, but in a literal sense, it should mean causing items to mutate

The eerie plant roots entwine around the buildings, and the black vines add a touch of desolation and lifelessness to these structures

Human beings are exceedingly humble, akin to the most loyal servants

The ringtone disappeared without notice, and Zhou Baiyu, along with the other apprentice pharmacists, entered the hospital building occupied by the succubi

Through the nostrils, a faint odor of decay could already be detected

They envelop the massive human structures, as if they are an integral part of those buildings

In the carriage, three men suddenly opened their eyes. Their gazes remained vacant, yet they slowly began to move.

The eyes occasionally open and occasionally close

This means that the destination has been reached

His thoughts are in a strange status bar

Ke Zhou Baiyu felt no excitement whatsoever

His mindset became increasingly calm, and his expression was the same as the other three young pharmacists, showing no signs of change

In the initial identities of many pioneers, this is the profession with the highest mortality rate, but at least you can say you died handsomely

He sat in the car, marveling at the changes in the city

Zhou Baiyu's current thought is: "All points in the skill tree are allocated to appearance, but I have crossed over to a world where being handsome leads to being eaten"

Zhou Baiyu possesses another initial ability—differentiation

That is the room of the succubus leader, and the murderous intent emanating from the door sends chills down Zhou Baiyu's spine

... ...

Identity: Apothecary Apprentice

There is no need to concern yourself with why they are hung outside; to the succubi, this is a manifestation of love. Therefore, these corpses can be referred to as love swaying in the wind. Do you long for love

The deceased are hanging here like dried salted fish

Just as Zhou Baiyu was following the other three apprentices, he was about to reach the end

After all, this group of women has snake-like tails and terrifying horns growing from their heads

... ...

Zhou Baiyu began to gaze at his own hands, but did not see any gamified introduction

As he walked among the hanging corpses with a wooden gait, Zhou Baiyu caught a glimpse of the wounds and mutilations on some of the dry corpses out of the corner of his eye, having already come to know a significant part of these succubi's malicious whims.

Only the third-class person and animal, shaking a bell, said: "Go."

The interior of the building has been completely transformed beyond recognition

The door of the room at the end suddenly opened, revealing its grandeur

As the highest quality and most prestigious tribute, Zhou Baiyu and the other three medicine boys are exclusively associated with the demon lord of the seventh tier

The ground is cracked, and occasionally one can see strange white bones rising from the earth

Ringtones are another means, apart from succubi, that can control the alchemists.

Zhou Baiyu stepped on the carpet, gazing at the crystals around him that shimmered with a cold blue gemstone light, his nostrils filled with the rich and unique fragrance of demonic plants

The ancient bells used to drive away animals jingled with a tinkling sound.

The name of the item: Love Swaying in the Wind

He actually has a strong desire to experiment with that enormous radish, and this feeling is particularly intense

Originally, Zhou Baiyu thought that he and the other three apprentices would be sent to several different succubi

This enormous Fifth People's Hospital of Linxiang City resembles a hellish slaughterhouse

The moment he leaned against the inpatient department building... Zhou Baiyu felt an insatiably greedy gaze coming from the window

However, he underestimated the Matthew effect following the rat race.

In this process, the third-class humans and various levels of succubi engage in communication.
