This power was extremely violent, like a volcanic eruption. Wherever it passed, it flowed like lava, leaving Ye Zhongming's body flushed red. He could only hunch down on the ground to ease the pain.
After the brutal force had rampaged through his body twice, it gradually dissipated. As he slowly sat up, Ye Zhongming was already drenched in sweat, his lips chapped and bleeding, the taste of iron filling his mouth.
He grabbed a bottle of water and took a sip. The icy liquid slid into his body, finally making him feel a bit better.
Hmm?
Ye Zhongming moved his right arm that was holding the water bottle. It seemed that his injuries had healed.
He got up and jumped around. Sure enough, the wounds he had sustained that day had completely recovered.
In the past, Ye Zhongming had never eaten Yarn Baby, as fear sheep were rare even in the desolate land, and many fear sheep had later evolved into high-level mutated beings. Their thick skin, fast speed, and tough meat made them very difficult to kill, so opportunities to obtain Yarn Baby were few. Even if he did get one, with Ye Zhongming's status in his previous life, he wouldn't have had a chance to enjoy it.
Moreover, Yarn Baby was most effective for lower-level evolvers. Those who were five-star and above rarely bothered with fear sheep since eating Yarn Baby had no effect on them.
But now Ye Zhongming was a one-star evolver, and the Yarn Baby he consumed was from a Grade 2 fear sheep, so the effects were naturally excellent.
His body recovered and his physique increased a bit. After a casual test, Ye Zhongming felt that he was already close to eight or nine times that of an average person.
In addition to these obvious changes, Ye Zhongming also discovered that his mental power had significantly increased.
Previously, Ye Zhongming had estimated his mental power to be over two hundred points. After this boost, it had exceeded three hundred points, nearing three hundred fifty points!
Due to having two professions, Ye Zhongming's mental power had always been insufficient, often leading to loss of control due to mental exhaustion. Now, with such a substantial increase in mental power, this situation was undoubtedly greatly alleviated.
Furthermore, Ye Zhongming possessed the basic summoning technique, which calculated its power and duration based on the summoning carrier and the expenditure of mental power. The increase in mental power could be said to enhance the effectiveness of this skill, allowing Ye Zhongming to control its usage according to the battle situation.
The changes brought about by Yarn Baby made Ye Zhongming quite happy. As for the legendary special abilities that Yarn Baby could grant him, he had not experienced those himself, but he didn't mind. Amazing things often happened in the apocalypse, but not every miracle would occur to oneself—Ye Zhongming understood this principle.
With his body restored and mental power enhanced, Ye Zhongming felt full of strength as he worked. He put the fear sheep skin, ape turtle egrets’ eggs, long-distance potion formula, Golden Cloth, promotion scroll, Hellhound Summoning Card, and carnivorous plant seeds into the space crystal. Only one item remained in Ye Zhongming's hands—Ghost Gold.
Such a large piece would certainly not be used all at once. Ye Zhongming thought about it and decided that since his mental power was sufficient, he might as well use the gathering and refining technique to process the Ghost Gold a bit.
This glorious artisan skill, which consumed a lot of mental power, turned out to be quite powerful. After exhausting more than half of his mental power, the Ghost Gold was divided into the one hundred portions Ye Zhongming desired!
This made Ye Zhongming imagine that if his mental power were a hundred million points, he could just touch the Ghost Gold chains on the iron lock prisoner, and then all the Ghost Gold would belong to him.
Ye Zhongming glanced at the gloomy sky outside and decided to stop daydreaming.
One hundred portions of Ghost Gold, each weighing about ten grams, made Ye Zhongming decide to test the effects.
