Chapter 12 : Biological Capsule
Chapter 12: Biological Capsule
Pushing open the wooden door, a light drizzle was still falling outside.
“Achoo!”
Su Wen sneezed.
“Unbelievable, I caught a cold, but the clone is completely fine.”
After a full night of hunting yesterday, the stored Energy had reached 210 points.
Only one Black Wolf had died.
“Let’s recruit.”
The military strength expanded further.
The hunting efficiency of Black Wolves was far higher than that of Exiled Sinners. Not only were they faster, but their strength was also significantly greater.
If it had been Exiled Sinners instead, after one night like this, more than half of them would probably have been lost.
“Alright, let’s invest 180 units of Energy first.”
Arriving in front of the den, Su Wen began inputting.
Before long, one Black Wolf after another appeared before his eyes.
Until the final moment…
Ding!
【Pure Resonance triggered.】
【Under the influence of the resonance trait, a special individual has awakened its Potential and responded to the summon.】
A notification flashed on the Watch, and a giant wolf, clearly a full size larger than ordinary Black Wolves, suddenly appeared.
Its fur was thicker, tinged faintly with red. Its appearance was extremely ferocious—when it opened its mouth, rows of sharp white teeth were visible.
【Recruitment Successful】
【Unit: Dire Wolf】
【Race: Beast Race (Wolf)】
【Tier: Black Iron 1-Star】
【Potential: White (Elite)】
【Loyalty: 75 (+2)】
【Skill 1: Frenzied Bite (A surge of power erupts within the blood, entering a Pseudo-Berserk State, increasing bite force by 30%)】
【Skill 2: Night Dominion (Passive, nearby allied Beast Race (Wolf) units gain buffs, all attributes increase by 10%, fear resistance greatly increased)】
“Holy shit!”
Su Wen exclaimed.
He glanced at Eluan’s panel and realized it was the first effect of Pure Resonance being triggered.
The moment the Dire Wolf appeared, a fierce aura rushed forward.
It first turned to look at Su Wen, a low growl rumbling from its throat, baring its teeth with a vicious gaze.
Su Wen raised an eyebrow, thinking that this oppressive presence was truly extraordinary—only to see the beast turn its head and instantly change expression.
Its ears drooped, its tail wagged like a propeller, and it happily ran over to Eluan’s feet, rubbing its massive head against the girl’s legs while even letting out soft, whimpering sounds.
Su Wen: “……”
Eluan: “……”
“This damn dog… it has two faces?” Su Wen’s mouth twitched. “So who exactly is the main body?”
Eluan held back her laughter and reached out to pat its head. “Good.”
【Loyalty: 75 (+2) (toward Eluan) / 72 (+2) (toward Su Wen)】
Su Wen: “???”
Su Wen: “Those numbers aren’t low either?”
He felt somewhat speechless.
Fortunately, they were both himself, and the Loyalty was good, so there wasn’t much difference.
Moreover…
“Black Iron 1-Star… it looks much stronger.”
This Dire Wolf could already be considered a soldier.
Meanwhile, Black Wolves and Exiled Sinners all belonged to the civilian tier.
If every batch of wolves recruited in the future could produce a strengthened individual, then his military strength might achieve explosive growth.
“Let’s move.”
After sending out some of the Black Wolves, Su Wen and Eluan took the Dire Wolf and two Black Wolf subordinates, chose another direction, and began exploring outward.
The monsters in the forest were indeed more numerous than imagined.
Even though they had cleared an area last night, they hadn’t gone very far this time before encountering a lone Pangolin.
“Go!”
With a point of his finger, the Black Wolf he commanded let out a low growl, kicked off with its legs, and charged forward at high speed.
“Roar!”
Its bloody maw opened wide, revealing sharp teeth.
With a crack, the wolf’s jaws clamped down hard on the Pangolin’s neck.
The target reacted instantly, curling into a ball, but its body was firmly pinned by sharp claws. Then the teeth wedged into the gaps between its scales, and with a violent tug, the scales were torn apart.
Puchi—
Blood splattered as two scales, along with a chunk of flesh, were ripped away.
Before the Pangolin could react, the Black Wolf bit again.
Frenzied Bite provided a 30% power boost, causing crisp cracking sounds as the wolf’s teeth chewed through its scales.
Another bite tore off a full piece of flesh from the wound.
After trembling violently for over a minute, the target, its neck held in the wolf’s jaws, gradually lost all signs of life.
【Killed Pangolin】
【Obtained: Energy ×13, Pangolin Corpse ×1, Biological Capsule (White) ×1】
A white pill the size of a fist fell out from the Pangolin’s mouth.
Because a faint white glow lingered around it, like a dropped item in a game, Su Wen noticed it immediately.
He picked it up and scanned it with the Watch.
【Biological Capsule】
【Grade: White】
【Description: A capsule produced by the Empire People, containing compressed space. After opening, special items can be obtained. Due to containing weak elemental power, it is favored by beasts.】
After fiddling with it for a couple of seconds, he pressed a tiny button on top.
The capsule instantly expanded and opened from the middle.
【Opened Successfully!】
【Obtained: Silver Coins ×3, Packaged Flatbread ×10】
【Obtained: Fire Element Crystal (White) ×1】
Seeing the contents, Su Wen looked slightly surprised.
“How could a monster have this inside its body?”
Clearly, the creatures hunted last night hadn’t dropped anything like this.
And it was even labeled as an entertainment item.
After taking out the contents, Su Wen noticed the capsule slowly dissolving.
“Better ask about it.”
He handed the Watch to Eluan, had her register an ID, and post a question in the group:
[Little Lu]: “Does anyone know about Biological Capsules? Has anyone seen them?”
The moment the message was sent, the chat group automatically separated a new section based on the topic and named it: Biological Capsule.
“So that’s how it works—topics are categorized like this to prevent the main group from being flooded.”
Eluan understood the mechanism.
In fact, each person could only register one account through the Watch.
But she was an exception.
Because her main body and clone were recognized as two different individuals.
Not long after she asked, someone replied.
[Young Little Demon]: “Biological Capsule? What’s that?”
[Anonymous1]: “Never seen it.”
[Anonymous2]: “No idea.”
[Worship All Bigshots]: “Never seen it +1”
[Anonymous3]: “Damn, you got that? That’s awesome.”
Eluan: “……”
Just as she thought no one knew, someone suddenly spoke up.
[Anonymous4]: “Not bad, man. Not many people have gotten that yet. I only have one myself. Supposedly it’s good stuff made by the Empire.”
[Worship All Bigshots]: “Damn, your luck is insane.”
[Anonymous3]: “666, bigshot is awesome.”
[Anonymous3]: “Do you know what this Empire actually is?”
[Anonymous4]: “Heh, I actually do. I picked up two notebooks from a corpse—there were some records in them.”
[Anonymous4]: “The Empire is a magical nation dominated by humans, but it also housed many other races. Later, internal conflict broke out, and many magical races became independent. Everything turned into a mess.”
[Anonymous1]: “666.”
[Anonymous4]: “Alright, that’s all I know. As for the Previous Civilization, I know nothing.”
[Worship All Bigshots]: “What can you get from the capsule?”
[Anonymous4]: “Nothing special. Just got some Silver Coins.”
