My Right Hand Allows Me to Merge Thousands of Races-Chapter 31: Ghost King

The sun is high in the sky, and there isn’t a cloud for miles.

"Sir, your total payment is forty-three thousand five hundred yuan," the clerk smiled politely, "Which payment method would you prefer?"

"Cash."

Lu Xun pulled out a wad of money from his pocket, counted it, and handed it over.

After finishing the transaction, he walked out of the prosthetic body shop carrying three shopping bags.

A pair of highly elastic black nano shorts, a matching nano T-shirt, and a Battle Tester — all non-implant items.

So even minors can purchase them.

After buying the items, he didn’t head straight home but instead took a cab to the largest public library in Jinghai City.

The library building was enormous, and as soon as he entered, he was greeted by rows of massive bookshelves, desks, and chairs...

The library wasn’t very crowded, and the environment was quite pleasant.

Lu Xun walked to one of the bookshelves, stretched out his right hand, and randomly picked up a book titled "Basic Techniques of Actor’s Art Language."

"Analyze!"

A torrent of information surged into his brain within five seconds, and all the knowledge in the book was completely absorbed.

[Reminder: Trait Points +0.004]

’Useless knowledge again,’ he shook his head helplessly and put the book back.

He then picked up the next book, "The Art of Performance," followed by "Screenwriter Psychology," "Editing Grammar,"...

[Reminder: Trait Points +0.001]

[Reminder: Trait Points +0.003]

[Reminder: Trait Points +0.007]

...

The books in this collection were mostly related to film and television performance.

In just over ten minutes, he had scanned nearly a thousand books on the entire bookshelf.

He then moved on to the next shelf.

His unusual behavior naturally attracted the attention of those around him.

"Hey, look at that guy, he’s been browsing books for half an hour and hasn’t flipped a single page. What’s the point?" a girl whispered to her companion.

"Maybe it’s some new kind of performance art," the companion murmured, "Doesn’t concern us."

...

They laugh at me for not reading books; I laugh at them for reading slowly.

I can absorb the knowledge of a whole book in seconds; who needs to flip pages?

Even those with a light computer and external disc implants can’t download knowledge as fast as Lu Xun’s "Analyze." Moreover, the former only downloads and stores knowledge on their brain’s hard drive for future reference, reading, and learning, whereas Lu Xun directly understands and assimilates the knowledge!

He didn’t care about others’ opinions and focused on his own pursuits.

In the blink of an eye, four hours had passed.

Lu Xun’s brain was swelling from excessive mental exertion, leaving him slightly dizzy.

He finally stopped analyzing and left the library.

As he walked, he communicated with his All-Knowing Right Hand to review the results of today’s efforts—

[Trait Points: 294 points]

Decimals aren’t displayed.

Subtracting the Trait Points acquired from previously analyzing the Plasma Light Saber, Lu Xun spent 4 hours and netted only a little over 20 points.

’Too inefficient!’ he sighed inwardly.

According to the feedback from the All-Knowing Right Hand, without merging more potent Red Orge Genes, it would require over eight thousand Trait Points to progress through one Small Tier.

Not to mention reaching a new Great Realm and advancing to Lord Level... that would take tens of thousands!

At Lu Xun’s current Trait Point collection rate, it would take seven to eight years to reach Lord Level.

’Too slow, relying solely on book analysis won’t do,’ he thought.

’I need to analyze new species, high-tech military weapons, and prosthetic bodies to obtain more Trait Points.’

’Also, I need to find a way to gather stronger genes.’

He pondered as he walked.

If he merged with stronger Red Orge Genes, the Trait Point consumption would greatly decrease, reducing by 90%!

Unconsciously, he stopped in front of a building.

Looking up, he saw five large words—Jiangfeng Museum—coming into view.

"Sigh," he reluctantly withdrew his gaze, not wanting to step into this place of heartbreak.

The museum is undeniably a massive treasure trove for him!

The Jiangfeng Museum before him is a comprehensive venue that combines elements of biology, artifacts, and military...

It features various historical relics, fossil remains, biological specimens...even military equipment like mechas and Fluctuation Cannons on display.

Lu Xun certainly considered profiting greatly from the museum.

But unfortunately, the items inside can only be viewed, not touched!

The museum is equipped with cameras and alarms everywhere, both in plain view and hidden, offering round-the-clock, foolproof surveillance! 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Many visitors might mistakenly think that the museum’s supervision isn’t strict.

They don’t feel awkward, like they’re being watched intently.

But from the moment you step through the main entrance, every move is tracked and monitored by artificial intelligence.

If you dare to quietly slip a piece of jade from the display into your pocket, it would only take 0.02 seconds for the alarm to trigger.

Then, within the next 3 seconds, you’d be tackled to the ground by a dozen men and robotic dogs, and placed in silver bracelets...

So Lu Xun never dared to have any ideas about the museum.

He didn’t even want to go inside.

Only view and no touch.

It’s like being served a table full of delicious dishes prepared by an aunt, but only being able to stare and drool, not eat.

Too cruel!

But that wasn’t even the most cruel part.

Just as Lu Xun was about to leave, he suddenly overheard the voices of passersby—

"I heard there’s a complete specimen of the Orge Race inside!"

"The Orge Race? Really? I’ve never seen one in person!"

"Really, they say it’s the remains of a Ghost King, well-preserved and extremely precious."

...

Lu Xun looked pained, regretting not leaving earlier and overhearing something he shouldn’t have.

A complete Ogere Race skeleton, and it’s the Ghost King?!

Did you two say that on purpose for me to hear?!

You know I can’t get it, yet you let me hear it... what a bunch of bastards!

He was filled with frustration, resisted the temptation, and sprinted away from Jiangfeng Museum.

If I say I won’t go in, I won’t go in.

So what if it’s a Ghost King?

It’s a museum, and the collections inside are extremely valuable.

Correspondingly, the security forces are incredibly terrifying.

Stealing from a museum is even more dangerous than raiding a bank vault.

Even a living Ghost King, if it dared to trespass, would meet its end on the spot!

Let alone Lu Xun.

He had neither the strength nor the courage.

All he could do was envy, adding to his melancholy.

So it’s better not to look, and distance yourself quickly from this sad place!

...

Until he returned home, the words "Ghost King" continued to haunt Lu Xun, stubbornly lingering in his mind.

This made him slightly irritable.

He splashed his face with cold water a few times before calming down.

"Cherish life, stay away from the museum."

Lu Xun admonished himself in the mirror.

Then he went to the hospital room to greet his uncle and had a brief chat.

Back in his bedroom, he unpacked three packages and took out the items inside.

A pair of pure black nano shorts, along with a matching short T-shirt.

There were no patterns on it.

Lu Xun analyzed them, gaining 7 Trait Points.

He then put them on directly and transformed into his Ghost God Form.

Hiss, hiss, hiss—

His body quickly swelled, explosive muscles bulging high, tendons stacking layer by layer, making the shorts and T-shirt stretch larger and larger...

Soon, a towering two-and-a-half-meter figure stood in the room, the two crimson horns on his head almost touching the ceiling.

Like a giant muscular beast.

With clothes to cover himself, his appearance was slightly more civilized.

Though the terrifying muscular dimensions still provided a strong visual impact, at least it wasn’t as crude and savage as before.

Lu Xun was very satisfied with this Nano Combat Suit.

He took out the third item—the Battle Tester.

This model was ear-hook type, appearing as a silver diamond-shaped earring that could be hung on the earlobe without needing a piercing.

Lu Xun analyzed it and surprisingly gained 13 Trait Points.

"Pretending to buy things at a Prosthetic Body Store and then secretly analyzing them might be a pretty good choice." His eyes lit up.

Another channel to obtain Trait Points had been discovered.

Before, he had Trait Points but nowhere to use them, so he didn’t particularly collect them and analyzed things as he pleased.

But thinking it over now, he realized there were quite a few channels.

Besides the Prosthetic Body Store, there was also the Antique Market.

Although the stalls were mostly set up by scammers, almost never offering genuine items, the regular antique shops indeed carried many precious collections.

There is absolutely room for maneuver!

Lu Xun’s thoughts opened up instantly, with ideas coming one after another.

But thinking about them now served no purpose.

He focused back on the earring in his hand.

Through the earlier analysis, he confirmed the Battle Tester had no storage, transmission, or networking functions.

It couldn’t leak personal information, was very safe, and could be used with confidence.

He eagerly hung it on his left earlobe and pressed the start button.

Buzz~

The Battle Tester emitted a glow, scanning Lu Xun’s gigantic two-and-a-half-meter frame from head to toe.

At the same time, lines of constantly changing text were reflected in his retinas.

[Combat Power Rating: Low-Level Tier Nine... High-Level Tier Three...]

[Detailed Combat Power: 1083... 1921... 2200...]

Finally, it settled on a certain value—

[Combat Power Rating: Special Level Tier Four]

[Detailed Combat Power: 12.5K]

This was evaluated according to the Human Federation’s standards, and the value was fed back in real-time, fluctuating up and down based on the target’s condition.

Lu Xun tried activating the Crimson Flame Body, and as his body temperature sharply rose, his Combat Power quickly increased.

Using Mountain-Shaking Strength and Power Storage Ripple would also boost his Combat Power.

The highest could reach 14.5K battle power.

A range of 12K~18K battle power all belonged to the Special Level Tier Four category.

But this wasn’t Lu Xun’s limit yet.

In the bedroom, he couldn’t let loose.

If he really pushed it to full power, he should be able to approach the upper boundary of Tier Four’s combat power value.

This indicated that his Life Level was not far from breaking through to Tier Five, only a bit short.

"This thing is pretty handy, truly deserving to be a high-tech product." Lu Xun couldn’t help but chuckle, suddenly curious, "I wonder if there’s an advanced version to measure the enemy’s combat power?"

If there were, people wouldn’t need to fight anymore.

Both sides would just compare combat power values, strengths and weaknesses would be clear at a glance.

But Lu Xun felt that the Battle Tester’s evaluation couldn’t be 100% accurate.

For example, "soft combat power" like combat experience and fighting skills couldn’t be calculated.

As long as the difference in combat power between the foe and him wasn’t too vast, the outcome was uncertain.

Only real battles could determine the winner!

"Just consider it a high-tech toy."
