[Welcome to Flesh and Blood Plague: The Plane World of Aberration, for the trial of your second transformation mission.]
[You have temporarily acquired the language of this plane: Old Swedish. Your appearance and clothing have undergone a temporary adaptive adjustment and will not arouse the suspicion of the natives. The adjustments to your appearance and attire will not affect your hidden attribute: charisma.]
[Flesh and Blood Plague: Aberration]
[Time: 17th Century]
[Region: Europe - Around the Scandinavian Peninsula]
[Strength: 2.7]
[Background: A blood-red meteor from cosmic space has fallen on the Scandinavian Peninsula. The flesh curse spreads across the peninsula. Many people have died and turned into Dead Plague, wandering the dark lands, craving fresh blood and flesh...]
[At the heart of the curse, on the Scandinavian Peninsula, a blood-red fortress has risen. The former king has become the emperor who rules countless mutant monsters. His ministers and generals still remain loyal to him, managing his terrifying army of mutants on his behalf. His people continue to labor humbly, sustaining the dreadful blood-red empire...]
The light faded, and Bai Pu stood on solid ground.
At first, there was a feeling of discomfort—the body became heavier, the air thickened, and resistance increased.
Even the rivers and the land here possessed a solid weight, giving a heavy sense of unbreakable mass.
"World strength 2.7?"
Bai Pu muttered to himself, "It seems this is also a change by the Spirit Realm Will... The world's difficulty has increased."
According to intelligence, the original strength of the world of the Flesh and Blood Plague: Aberration was 2.2.
Comparatively, the Three Kingdoms: Chibi scenario, with a difficulty of 2.4, means the difficulty of Flesh and Blood Plague: Aberration was relatively low. However, it has now risen directly by 0.5 in world strength, indicating a significant increase in the native strength!
The strength of the natives and the world strength are in a "raising with the tide" relationship.
The greater the world strength, the stronger the native's ability. If the world strength decreases, the natives' strength will also decline accordingly.
This rule is called the "World Waymark." The natives are the world's waymark.
This change is most evident when natives cross different difficulty areas of the Spirit Realm.
For example, Dongbo Cheng, in low-difficulty areas such as the Eastern Wilderness Forest Sea and the Black Tortoise Mountain Range, is approximately at the level of a Level 4 Enhanced Leader. However, if he, for some reason, travels to the intermediate world area of [Heart Demon: Great Wilderness River], his strength would dramatically rise, climbing to Level 6 or even 7!
Moreover, in Dongbo Cheng's memory, this rapid rise in strength will become blurred, and he will naturally think he was always this strong.
If Dongbo Cheng then travels back from the world area of [Heart Demon: Great Wilderness River] to the Eastern Wilderness Forest Sea, his level will quickly drop to Level 4, and this part of the memory will also become vague.
This is a type of "Knowledge Barrier" naturally formed by natives who have not broken through the "World Mystery."
Blood Spider hesitated for a moment and asked, "Has your transformation mission been triggered?"
"Not yet." Bai Pu checked the living tissue of the Primordial Heart, which indicated he could stay for 5 days in the world of [Flesh and Blood Plague: Aberration].
This is the Spirit Realm's default dwell duration for the anchor. When the five-day period ends, if Bai Pu still hasn't triggered the transformation task or the mainline camp task, exile will be the only outcome.
Since this trip was as a teacher to demonstrate the process of a second transformation to Blood Spider, Bai Pu decided to say a few more words.
After all, he had collected "tuition fees," not only having a strong ally like Blood Spider, but also the [Golden Parachute], an intermediate compulsory leaving artifact.
Equivalent exchange has always been a principle Bai Pu believed in.
"The world background of Flesh and Blood Plague: Aberration is the confrontation between the Divine Luo Expeditionary Army camp and the Blood Ring Camp. From a historical perspective, the Divine Luo Expeditionary Army is a coalition mainly formed by Brandonburg and other city-states under the Holy Roman Empire. "
These pieces of background intelligence were also known to Blood Spider, but she listened intently, even taking out a small notebook to jot down notes while she listened.
Bai Pu continued, "In the previous world, I established pretty good relations with some high-level figures from the Divine Luo Expeditionary Army. One of them is a native named 'Qin,' with whom I have a particularly strong rapport. She's also an expert in Source Blood! Since I'm using the lineage of the Primordial Heart Tissue associated with the Source Blood for my transformation, I will undoubtedly obtain transformation task clues from her."
Blood Spider raised her hand, "So the first step is to find this native named 'Qin'?"
"Exactly." Bai Pu nodded.
Blood Spider put away her notebook and followed Bai Pu, walking along the road for the carriage.
Bai Pu exhaled lightly and said, "I need to find Qin. This crucial piece of intelligence is also known to the Superstar Alliance. Before us, there are already three squads of Awakened who entered first! I think there should be at least one Superstar Alliance team among them. What do you think the Superstar Alliance team will do?"
Blood Spider immediately took out her notebook again and looked at Bai Pu with eager eyes.
Bai Pu glanced at her, already giving Blood Spider an "unthinking giant" judgment in his mind.
He continued, "The goal of the Superstar Alliance this time, at the very minimum, is to prevent me from successfully completing my second transformation. Ideally, they would employ bloody artifacts to kill me in this world.
"As the pioneers, the Superstar Alliance teams that entered the Spirit Realm before us are surely not stronger than us. Once they enter, their target will not be me, but... Qin! As long as they kill Qin, they can disrupt my 'force' in the Flesh and Blood Plague world, adding difficulty to my transformation mission."
Blood Spider asked, "How strong is Qin?"
Bai Pu answered, "In the world area of [Flesh and Blood Plague: Origin], she is a Level 3 Enhanced Elite."
"If Qin appeared in the world area of [Flesh and Blood Plague: Aberration], she should become a Level 5-6 Enhanced Elite."
Blood Spider understood the rule that natives are the world's waymark, perhaps even better than Bai Pu. She frowned and said, "The Superstar Alliance team, besieging a Level 5-6 Enhanced Elite, would not be difficult."
However, Bai Pu's mouth hinted at a slight sneer.
The Superstar Alliance team's move was good.
But they were likely to run into a wall! They didn't know that the so-called "Brandon Court Advisor" was merely a disguise for Qin! Her true identity and strength, if revealed, would be enough to make the leading squad of the Superstar Alliance despair!
...
Along the road, Bai Pu and his companion first arrived at a manor.
There, they saw numb farmers and Dead Plague wearing masks, cold-heartedly overseeing the work.
These Dead Plague have been given the simplest of commands.
If they see a lazy farmer, they whip them.
If they catch a slacker, they whip at least ten times, and at most, there's no limit, until the farmer moves!
These farmers, too, are subjects of King of Sweden, Gustav. However, with the spread of the flesh curse, Gustav became the Blood Ring Emperor, and the mutated subjects became enforcers, while the unmutated subjects became slaves.
After all, even mutants need to eat, and relying on low-level Dead Plague to perform intricate farming tasks would be impossible.
This is also why this group of lower-level farmers can survive.
Just then, a shouting voice of killing erupted, and a team of militia dressed in Brandon-style uniforms rushed into the manor, grouping in threes and fives to kill the Dead Plague!
The militia leader at the helm turned out to be Bai Pu's old acquaintance, Yingwa, a militia member who once joined him in surrounding and attacking the Blood Ring Heavy Hammer Warrior.
