"Is self-curse, or self-change in a specific direction, just the threshold of the third level..."
Before, Lu Pingan only heard about the self-curse, and through Wang Hai's battle, he had some understanding of its weaknesses and strengths.
In the past, he thought it was just an "equivalent exchange", using a certain degree of conversion in exchange for stronger power.
Looking back now, this understanding cannot be said to be wrong, it can only be said to be incomplete. The real function of "self-curse" is to "change", to change your basic characteristics as a mortal and modify them to a higher level (third level)
Occupational needs.
"Just because of my ability to recover after injury, this career seems to be quite suitable for me..."
In a sense, the life bank is also a self-curse. Whatever you gain, you will lose. While it helped Lu Ping'an resist most of the "malicious life curses" and "hostile transformations", it also resisted "well-intentioned external forces".
"Change"... Most of the supernatural means of doctors are directly ineffective against it.
This is always a fatal weakness. If it is a regular large-scale battlefield and everyone is assisted by doctors, it is very likely that this will be a fatal injury.
Not only is it unable to keep up with consumption during a protracted war, but more importantly, once it is seen through, it will encounter the opponent's "injury for life".
"Deferred payment" seems to be able to make up for this weakness, but it is also quite limited. Two extensions for fatal injuries are the limit, and the third extension is equivalent to a suspended death sentence, which cannot be changed to "with a certain period of time".
This has always been Lu Ping'an's weakness, and he has been very careful to hide it. Using "deferred payment" at will on the battlefield is not to heal, but to express the false truth to the opponent that "I am not afraid of getting hurt, I can breastfeed."
Big Cat warned Guo Lu of Ping An's weakness very early on, and chose the accelerated self-healing treatment ability of "Accelerate Metabolism" as his lower replacement.
Judging from the results, it is also gratifying, but it is becoming less and less useful.
On the one hand, the increase in his rank and strength, the increase in his total health and pollution level, and just the self-accelerating self-healing ability of the Black Iron lower level, its effects are unstoppably getting worse and worse.
On the other hand, in actual combat, "accelerated recovery" will not only have a large impact on the body (stamina, sweat discharge), but the opponent will not give you a chance to replenish nutrition and energy. Basically, it can only be used after the war.
Transitive recovery.
A weakness is always a weakness, and no weakness can always be hidden. Lu Ping'an will get injured sooner or later, and maybe the first serious injury may be the last.
"Shura Martial God"
"...At the same time, it increases the toughness of the body, and when it develops to a certain extent, it will even become harmless..."
This is not achieved overnight, it is a long-term transformation similar to the change-type talent ability, but it is slightly more controllable.
Of course, it is not without its weaknesses. Fire and dryness will become new weaknesses. In addition...
"Withering will cause tons of damage to you. Before, you were immune to aging, but withering only extracts moisture from living things. In a sense, it is a kind of physical damage. You have to be careful..."
When Big Cat recommended "weapons" to Lu Ping'an, he chose the two concepts of "withering" and "aging" without hesitation. Both of these are the opposite of life and the death system, and both are powerful concepts with instant death effects.
However, one is a special attack against plants and the other is a special attack against animals. These are the most difficult attack methods to resist in actual combat.
Lu Ping'an understood more and more that this was a powerful self-curse that gained some of the characteristics of plants, but at the same time had to bear the natural weaknesses of magic plants.
"Based on the third-level standards, this price is actually a bit high. It is obvious that the gains outweigh the losses. No wonder there are so few jobs. But to be honest, when you reach the fifth, sixth, or even regular level, this level of cost is nothing.
.....”
In the big cat's mouth, high-level professionals are more like monsters than the last. Since sooner or later they have to pay an "inhuman" price, it is a good thing to pay early and get started early.
In Big Cat's view, since Lu Ping'an plans to take the path of a gardener, this path is obviously the most suitable for him.
So, since Lu Ping'an will become a high-ranking gardener sooner or later, he must take this inhumane step, just leave early and leave later, so why hesitate.
As for the chosen symbiotic magic plant? Lu Ping An has some plans...
"There are many types of magic plants. I can cultivate the ones that meet my needs 100%. Moreover, the created magic plants are very friendly to me. But I'm afraid that in this regard, I can't keep up with the duel..."
The natal magic plant is very important to the parasitic tree. It can be said that it is directly related to the upper limit of this profession... It is equivalent to creating an extra limb and a set of extra external sensory facilities for you. The gap between the upper limit and the lower limit is very big.
.
This aspect does not depend on "level", because it will become a part of your body and grow with you. What is more important is functionality, which depends on what abilities you need.
Is it reconnaissance? Is it melee combat? Is it building a defensive position? Is it research? Lu Ping'an wanted to say that I want them all, but in the end he shook his head. "I want them all" in this regard equals "all-around mediocrity". He has no shortage of special abilities.
Lacking the support of other professions, I still have to make up for the "integrated combat ability" that I lack most now.
Lu Ping'an plans to cultivate the magic plants he needs and customize them for himself, but this will require a lot of time... and life points.
"Let's start with the first self-curse..."
Lu Ping'an glanced at the last two curses and his eyebrows jumped. They were not easy to handle either.
He calculated the time that might be spent, and he was afraid that this time he would be working for a long time. His accumulation after being a level 2 gardener was really too little, and he had been busy with other professions these days.
"By the way, Chris, how is our new baby growing?"
"...it will take a while."
What Lu Pingan was talking about was some extra loot from the original battle against the Mother Goddess Sect.
The Liuzi Monument was smashed to pieces by the pseudo-Big Cat at home, but his forest creations were scattered all over the place. Although most of them became trophies for the Alien Management Bureau, some of them were also collected by his own people.
In addition, as the main combatant and meritorious person, Lu Ping'an also received some rewards from the Alien Management Bureau, and Lu Ping'an also applied for a batch of seeds of new magic plants... These things were all planted in the courtyard, allowing Lu Ping'an to Two animal trainers and Guan Xinxian provide daily care.
This is Lu Ping'an's background as a gardener, but this requires daily accumulation. He will often take care of it on weekdays, but judging from the feedback from Big Cat, it is still early to harvest.
Lu Pingan nodded and did not ask any further questions.
He also knew that those things hadn't even gotten used to the soil and water yet, and were still some time away from maturity, but those new magic plants were indeed his most high-end ones, and maybe his symbiotic magic plants could be assembled from them.
"In the future, let's have more contact with Professor Wen and the others. At least there will be channels for purchasing new magic plants. I need to enter the circle of local high-level gardeners as soon as possible... Recently, the rare magic plants in the ancient city are priced at one price a day. It's really Outrageous.”
Lu Ping'an also knew that this was actually the fault of himself and the trading place. Now he didn't know how many gardeners were scolding people behind their backs... Of course, there were also some who made new magic plants and made a fortune.
"In terms of gardening, my accumulation is still a bit weak, and it is a bit difficult to enter the third level now."
In Lu Ping'an's view, the advancement cannot be achieved in a short period of time... Even if it is barely achieved, without the symbiotic magic plant, the improvement will be low.
But before that, he could get his "new pet" out first and complete the initial integration of battlefield capabilities.
Big Cat gave a relatively reliable suggestion, but you need to find some people.
"Fang Wen, how have you been lately?" Realistically, Lu Ping'an finally thought of this tenant who didn't pay rent.
