From the Abyss of Stars Part 1

Whew...

Li Aozi exhaled a breath of turbid air. 【Sever Life】 was a psionic ability he possessed, so the genetic load couldn't be transferred.

But what was lifespan? The one thing 【Starfall Masters】 didn't lack was lifespan. Exchanging just one year of lifespan for such a good psionic ability was quite worth it.

The real price, if anything, was that his pale skin became somewhat distorted, almost without wrinkles, lines, pores, or blue veins.

Although it made him appear more handsome and beautiful, it also exuded a sense of otherness, making him seem not quite human.

Li Aozi didn't mind. As long as his 【Charisma】 was high, even a snow leopard's smile would look more innocent than Dingzhen's.

He sent Naomi to procure some supplies and find Qiu Ran and Dimitri, asking if they wanted to leave together. Alone on the battlefield, scavengers saw that the scavenger showed no interest in the surrounding weapons and bodies, so they boldly came to strip the corpses.

The hatred for the four nations was deeply buried in their hearts. Many dismantled the Frost-Plated Republic special police's equipment, prosthetics, and chips, spitting on them in revenge.

Li Aozi didn't care about this equipment. As a 【Mutant】, he couldn't equip prosthetics, and his attributes were too low to wear the equipment, and he couldn't aim with a gun.

Everyone had their weaknesses, and Li Aozi was especially bad with firearms.

In the early stages, most professions relied heavily on firearms, such as 【Rangers】, 【Mechanics】, and 【Doctors】, because firearms were easy to use and training was relatively straightforward.

Unlike melee fighters and mages, the former required high skills in positioning and charging, while the latter had to calculate trajectories, programming, linear arrays, and avoid self-explosion during casting.

But Li Aozi was severely one-sided.

He had an extraordinary talent for cold weapons like swords and knives. Without any guidance, the first time he held a half-sword, he made the HMA (Historical Martial Arts) coach at the youth training camp doubt life, insisting on testing him.

——If not for the subsequent range test where he missed all 200 shots at a fixed target and only hit one with a shotgun in moving shooting, Li Aozi felt he could have joined the professional team, gained fame, and brought glory to the country.

Professional teams were unfriendly to someone like Li Aozi, who was only proficient in one aspect, but he didn't blame them.

Professional players were backed by capital and even the state, aiming to win competitions. Li Aozi's obvious shortcomings would add instability to the team.

Li Aozi didn't understand why, as a modern person, he was so unfamiliar with firearms.

He couldn't help but ponder, could it be that he was an ancient person in his past life?

Compared to the scattered weapons and equipment, the real concern was the intense pain that followed.

The cell division rate kept increasing, and red-black spots spread rapidly on his skin like sludge.

The system panel quickly turned red-black, with DNA double helix cracks everywhere.
