"Poison... poison?!"
Looking at this line of text, Yun You felt a wave of dizziness, and her heart raced threefold.
And the words "heart failure" prompted by the chip struck her like lightning, dissipating the joy of awakening three kinds of Sequence in an instant.
"What the hell is this poison..."
Yun You clutched her stifling chest, took several deep breaths, and managed to prop herself up against the wall and sit upright.
"Why is it so severe? Heart failure? Isn’t that an old age disease, how could it happen to ?"
Apparently, the sudden intense pain and warning left Yun You bewildered.
And her Information Reconnaissance Chip couldn’t retrieve a complete answer, after so analysis, it could only provide a short na.
[Poison detected, the toxic substance in the host’s body is nad – "Alisu", specific origin unknown, currently known only for its nerve-stimulating effect, unclear composition, and unable to parse a matching antidote]
"Alisu..."
"No origin, no composition, no antidote, then what were you analyzing?"
Yun You covered her face, feeling sowhat headachy.
She struggled to get up and pulled out her phone intending to search online.
But just then, Master Zero, who had been silent for a while, spoke up, interrupting her action.
[Don’t bother searching, Yunzai, if even the chip can’t find the poison, you won’t find information on the surface web]
[But I do know a bit about it, if you’re willing to listen]
Upon hearing this, Yun You imdiately put down her phone.
"Hurry up and tell !"
[Actually, this thing isn’t too complicated]
Master Zero started speaking.
[Alisu originates from a substance mutated by radiation in the wilderness, widely present in all "permanent pollution zones" land, with an unclear composition but strong stimulating effects]
[As your chip has indicated, it can quickly stimulate the activity of nerves and cells in the body, far more potent than the strongest stimulant you’ve ever known, just a touch can be fatal to a mortal, and even an Apprentice Death God should not touch it too much]
[Perhaps it is due to this stimulating property, Alisu was added to the Transformation Potion for Apprentice Death Gods many years ago]
[Didn’t the potion’s instruction say that? "This item contains large amounts of toxins, and it’s a key component of the Transformation Potion," this toxin should refer to Alisu]
[After Alisu takes effect, it rapidly breaks down into pure harmful substances and flows towards the heart through the blood vessels]
[Once it fully reaches the heart, it will imdiately cause the host’s acute myocardial infarction, leading to heart failure]
[At that point, unless you imdiately replace the heart, not even a god can save you]
[However, even if you survive through a heart replacent, you will have to part with the path of an Apprentice Death God due to heart rejection, losing the ability to elevate Sequence Level for life]
[This is actually part of the Apprentice Death God’s "internship assessnt", giving you a ti limit to quickly complete the internship period task, preventing you from slacking off]
[Yunzai, you can check on the Apprentice Death God’s forum to see if other internship period Death Gods have encountered this situation]
Upon hearing this, Yun You quickly picked up her phone, tapped the screen, and logged onto a private web address.
The package sent by the Apprentice Death God Organization contained a vial of Transformation Potion, an instruction manual, and a web address written on a note.
This is the dedicated website for Apprentice Death Gods.
Yun You successfully found the forum on the website, entered it, and indeed, soone ntioned problems related to "Alisu", also reporting their own situations.
But unlike Yun You, the "heart failure tilines" of these Apprentice Death Gods mostly exceeded two months, with the shortest being exactly 35 days, much more lenient than Yun You’s 12 days.
[I think it’s normal, after all, Yunzai you got three whole types of Sequence, Alisu’s toxicity would naturally be three tis greater than others, right?]
"What’s so normal about that?!"
Yun You grabbed her hair and retorted, "Everyone drank the sa amount of Transformation Potion, where the Alisu should be the sa, why is my portion so much more toxic? It’s not scientific!"
[Do you think Sequence Power is scientific?]
Master Zero’s words left Yun You speechless.
[No one has ever analyzed Alisu’s composition, or modern instrunts simply can’t analyze it, it’s only known to have effects, but the principles behind those effects remain unexplained]
[Is it even a "chemical substance"? It can’t be determined now. Adding more toxicity due to increased Sequence, what’s so strange about that?]
Those words made so sense, calming Yun You.
However, once calm, the young girl couldn’t help but be curious.
Master Zero... how does it know so much unavailable online information? Didn’t it just say its mory is jumbled?
[...]
[I guessed what you’re thinking, young girl]
[Stop overthinking, my mory is chaotic like fragnts, yet sotis luck hits upon a "bigger" fragnt]
[This ti my luck wasn’t bad, seeing the word "Alisu" just reminded of a bit of information by chance, it’s pure coincidence, don’t take it seriously]
[Regarding your other questions, like why I can talk, why I can transform... or how I ca to be, all I can say is, I don’t know, and I’m more curious than you]
[You should just focus on getting stronger, feed so high-quality weapon tals, maybe then I’ll rember more]
Master Zero’s words seed honest, without a hint of deceit in its tone.
Therefore, Yun You didn’t ask more questions.
"So what we need to do now is to complete an [Intern Level trial task] within 12 days."
The young girl squinted, lightly tapping on the screen.
"It seems quite challenging."
Old Jin had previously told her in a ssage that the internship assessnt only had one objective, which was to completely go through a "Intern Level" difficulty task or tackle an unexpected Death Domain event.
These tasks, though bearing the title "Intern", are quite difficult, at least for an internship period Apprentice Death God.
According to statistics from the Death God forum, even with thorough preparation and teammates, Intern Level tasks have a 60% failure rate and a 20% death rate.
The elimination probability is terrifyingly high.
