Monsters Are Coming

In fact, before Li Zheng and others entered the transformation room, they discussed with other team members about the success probability of Player Clan’s transformations.

The conclusion was that for Player Clan to transplant 14 organs, the success rate might only be 10%, if not lower.

Feeling incredulous, Ghost Pupil subconsciously counted the number of players who returned.

Not a single one was missing, which means the entire Player Clan completed all 14 talent organ transformations unscathed.

"Animals, they pulled it off," an astonished Four Eyes Clan student exclaimed.

"Watch your words, do you believe I’ll whip out my newly equipped mysterious weapon and knock you out with one lash?"

"I’m really curious now, take it out and let me see."

"Damn, you’re such a pervert, I was just kidding."

Back in the room, everyone talked about the transformation process.

Learning that the talent organs were perfectly adapted, Ghost Pupil and others were in a delightful mood, occasionally teasing each other.

Once the chit-chat ended, everyone went to sleep.

Li Zheng summoned the attribute panel.

On the status bar, his health bar was at the bottom, and a new line was marked on the right margin: Transformed Body.

Which means he’s almost dead now.

The last similar situation was when a player died after being infected by the Immortal Virus, their health bar turned black, and the status showed: Immortal State.

But their situation wasn’t like the Immortal State.

The health bar was still red, just depleted.

Being able to continue living was mainly because the Rune Pharmacist continuously injected life energy into them during the talent organ transplantation.

So they haven’t died.

It’s just that a large number of organs belonging to the player were removed during the transformation process, so the health bar showed empty, living in a brand-new state.

But it’s certain that this state, like the Immortal State, will reset after they die.

The only question is why the talent organs weren’t decomposed into sacrificial power.

This seemed to be different from what the Guidance said.

"So, where’s our sacrificial power red envelope?" Chi Tu’s slightly puzzled voice sounded in the team’s chat channel.

"When in doubt, ask Guidance."

This is when Li Zheng looked up at the Guiding Water Ball floating beside the bed:

"Brother Guide, why weren’t the talent organs implanted in us decomposed into sacrificial power?"

Facing the inquiry, the Guidance sighed helplessly:

[You’re veteran players now, and still haven’t figured out the game’s basic settings. I’ve told you before, the transplantation of talent organs won’t change your core settings; the implantation won’t affect your Life Stabilization Structure, and once dead, you can reset to your original player body.]

[As for why the organs didn’t turn into sacrificial power, the reason is simple: because your perfectly adapted talent organs are still alive. Only by killing them and destroying their Life Stabilization Structure can you perform sacrificial power decomposition and extraction.]

[So as long as you kill the transplanted organs, the sacrificial power income will appear in the form of Challenger Tips.]

The Guidance’s response made Li Zheng instantly understand where the problem lay.

Just as Guidance said, it’s like hunting monsters.

When a monster isn’t dead, the Life Stabilization Structure isn’t broken, players can’t get rewards.

So the next step is to kill the talent organs.

[By the way, a tip for you: during the process of killing organs, it’s best to proceed step by step, starting from the simple ones; otherwise, if you die with the organs still alive, you won’t get the rewards and will return to the little black room along with the separated organs stored with the Rune Doctor.]

"Got it."

Understanding the reason, Li Zheng and the others knew they needed to leave the Phase Three Training Camp early.

Although the Transformed Body could still continue with camp projects,

this process would yield fewer benefits.

Their bodies have amazing absorption efficiency, gaining considerable sacrificial power whether through Spirit Food or medicated baths.

But the current Transformed Body couldn’t absorb and digest perfectly like before.

From either profit or project advancement perspective, they needed to return to the village to reset the body.

They came up with a plan for how to explain it during their discussions.

They had already explained the reason for resurrection thoroughly to Elder You, and with their performance in the training camp, they could completely continue the unfinished training projects.

The next time Elder You dispatches warriors to pick them up, they’d just follow along.

"Brothers, the time has come for us to return home in glory. We can say our talent organs suddenly had a strong repulsion reaction leading to death," Li Zheng said with a smile.

"Back to the village, back to the village sounds good, just in time to get the Cultivation Battle Skills equipped, which will significantly speed up our Body Refining Level advancement. As for growth pets, they’re unnecessary, as this feature doesn’t fit our Reverse Tide Warrior path."

"I miss the Earth Thought Bully. It’s said that kid is pretty arrogant now, about time to hit hard."

"Brothers, Guidance said to start with the simple organs, which organ should we kill first?"

"Of course, start with the one that won’t kill us if we kill it; the heart will definitely be dealt with last."

"Then let’s start with my dominating spear."

After listing the order of organ killings, the Liver Emperor Group players decided to delay for two days, laying the foundation before leaving.

In the following two days, Liver Emperor Group members had various discomforts during training, but checks with the Rune Doctor found no abnormal issues.

The final diagnosis was a suspected unknown repulsion reaction between talent organs.

...

The third day.

In the middle of the night.

After everyone fell asleep, the Liver Emperor Group players got up and gathered in the living room.

When it came time to act, Li Zheng and others all hesitated.

Death wasn’t scary, but turning on their "good brothers" was genuinely ruthless.

"Don’t hesitate, let’s talk about it after going home, like this, I’ll count 1, 2, 3, and we’ll act together." As the leader of the Liver Emperor Group, Li Zheng proposed.

After getting responses from his brothers, Li Zheng lifted the blade in his hand, took a deep breath:

"Remember to endure the pain, don’t disturb their sleep, listen to my count: 1, 2, 3... act."

Instantly, a scream of unbearable torment woke Ghost Pupil and others from their sleep.

Realizing a sudden situation, they jumped off their beds and rushed to the hall where the sound came from, ready for battle.

But what they saw next left them dumbfounded.

They already knew the Player Clan was experiencing talent organ repulsion reactions.

The Rune Doctor’s suggestion was to temporarily stop participating in training, observe for three days, and if there was no relief, consider removing some talent organs to identify the problem.

So seeing this scene now, they subconsciously thought it was the Player Clan students choosing to remove the talent organs themselves.

"Wow, you guys... that’s brutal."

A Ghost Bull Clan student gaped at Li Zheng and the others holding a blood-dripping blade, unable to control his lips from quivering, his worldview was unprecedentedly shocked.
