"Get familiar with the rooms here as soon as possible. 308 is the logistics office, 309 is the captain's office, and 310 is the warehouse..."
"Now there are eleven members of the entire Punisher team, plus you, six field staff, three support staff, and three support staff. In addition to Carlisle and Mrs. Catherine, there is also Li Anqi, who is the front desk like Carlisle. He is not here today."
"I won't talk about these things anymore..." Seeing Mu Zhi nod, Uncle Cat paused for a moment, and his face became a little more solemn: "Tell me something practical, the energy of Fuyuan you have always wanted to know!"
"The term "Rule Source Energy" came from Pandora's propaganda to the Ironborn. In the world of Contractors, we only call it 'Rule Source!'"
"The source of symbols is the essence of the contractor. The various abilities of the contractor are derived from the power of the source of symbols. Do you understand?"
"Of course, the source of the contract ability, or the general name!" Mo Zhi nodded without hesitation.
This is equivalent to the fighting spirit of a fighter, the soul power of a soul master... No one is more familiar with this metaphor than him.
Uncle Cat nodded with satisfaction and asked:
"Vera Alexandra is the manager of the entire team. Do you know why she can be the captain? Apart from the subjective factors of experience."
"It's very possible..." Mo Zhi pondered for a moment: "Her contract ability is very strong, or her ability to control the source of symbols is stronger than yours. To put it more bluntly... her combat power is stronger than yours!"
"Haha, you are really sharp, you put it so bluntly!" Douglas, who was leaning on the chair, laughed and said, "I didn't expect that, old cat, I guessed it right."
Uncle Cat glanced at Douglas disdainfully, then turned to look at Mo Zhi: "Sure enough, you have noticed it a long time ago."
"From the day I sent you home, I found that you had some associations with this... You are a thoughtful person, and you are born to be a punisher. The captain's vision is right!"
This is just due to the vigilance of the time-travelers, who think too much... Mu Zhi complained in his heart.
Uncle Cat ignored Douglas and looked unpredictable: "It's just that your answer is not completely correct!"
"The true source of power for contractors is the Source Stone, and the energy of the Rune Source is just the expression of the combination of the Source Stone!"
"It's the Source Stone!" Douglas next to him couldn't help but interjected: "The Source Stone is the entity of the source of energy, because we all have the Source Stone in our bodies!"
Origin stone?
Mo Cai was a little confused by the unfamiliar words one after another. After thinking for a while, he roughly understood the relationship between them.
If the energy of the symbol source is true qi, then the source stone is the so-called sea of qi? It's probably similar... Mo Zhi thought to himself.
Uncle Cat did not refute Douglas this time, but continued in a calm tone:
"After each contractor awakens, a hidden Source Stone will appear in his body. Pay attention to the word 'hidden'. The Source Stone cannot be seen or touched. It will only break away from the corpse and materialize after the contractor dies!"
"Pandora has proven that the Source Stone is the essence of the contract ability!"
"Each contractor has different powers, and the root cause is the difference in source stones..."
"But what's more important is!" Uncle Cat suddenly changed the topic, hugged two cat paws, and once again showed off his "mentor" style...
It's a bit like a teacher suddenly typing on the blackboard during class - highlight the following:
"The power of the Source Stone is divided into strong and weak levels. In other words, contractors are divided into levels!"
Can it be upgraded!?
Unpredictable finally heard something unexpected, and for a moment he thought Uncle Cat was joking...
I couldn't help but glance sideways at Douglas next to him, who was holding a cigarette in his mouth and looking at Uncle Cat intentionally or unintentionally.
Seeing Mozhi turning his head to look at him, Douglas smiled and signaled.
Douglas was not surprised, which meant that he had known about it for a long time, because of the identity of the Punisher... Uncle Cat was not joking!
"It's a level in the conventional sense..." Uncle Cat stroked his beard and said slowly: "The stronger the Origin Stone in the body, the stronger the power of the Talisman Source that the contractor can mobilize! You, me, him... all the Contractors
It’s all like this!”
"According to Pandora's many years of research, when a contractor's Source Stone reaches a certain level, the Source Stone that appears in the body after death has different colors, so the levels are divided according to color. The lowest level is white, which is your current level.
, then in order red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, and the highest level is gold!"
The "color?" level is easy to understand, but there is a lack of intuitive understanding of the source stone.
This is somewhat abstract...
Uncle Cat paused for a long time, thinking carefully about how to help Mozhi understand. When he saw Douglas next to him, his cat's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed at Douglas with his paw and said:
"For example, this person has been a punisher for ten years and is still at the white level. So if we kill him now, white source stones will appear on his body..."
Bang bang bang…
Douglas next to him smiled and clapped: "Old Cat, this is a good example!"
Uncle Cat didn't care, and continued to point at Douglas and said: "When he becomes a red level, the essence is that the red Origin Stone will appear in his body. If you kill him at that time, the body will have red Origin Stone and white Level.
The source stone!”
Douglas just shrugged and said nothing this time.
After just giving examples, Uncle Cat strikes while the iron is hot:
"The color change of the symbol source is the same as the source stone!"
"The spiritual fluctuations you sense every time you use your ability are actually the fluctuations of the symbol source..."
"It's just that although the fluctuation of the symbol source can be felt, it cannot be seen. The color and shape of the symbol source can only be observed with the help of specific contract items... When Douglas is at the white level, the color of his symbol source is white.
When Douglas is at the red level, the color of his symbol source is red!"
"According to Pandora's long-term research and summary, it has been proven that there are 28 types of Origin Stones, ranked from 1 to 28, with white Origin Stones corresponding to numbers 1 to 5, red Origin Stones corresponding to numbers 6 to 9... and so on!"
Twenty-eight species in total?
Mozhi suddenly became a little confused. After a while, he asked Uncle Cat about his doubts: "If that's the case...then isn't the contract ability a combination of the Origin Stones?"
Pa~pa~pa~ Douglas clapped again, his expression obviously excited, and he shouted at Mo Zhi: "Young man, you have grasped the essence of the contractor so quickly!"
"Not simple, not simple..."
Uncle Cat turned to look at Douglas: "At least you are much better than this simple-minded person!"
Douglas laughed loudly, and did not refute Uncle Cat's sarcasm. He laughed at himself again: "Don't you always say that I am the back leg of the Punisher in Hot Spring City? Why are you so demanding about the back leg?"
"Ignore him! The real situation is..." Uncle Cat turned to look at Mo Ce, his whole face was solemn. He paused for several seconds before saying to Mo Ce in a heavy tone:
"The contractor is just a living contract item!"
Sure enough... Unpredictable felt that his guess was indeed correct!
Through Uncle Cat's description just now, Mobi has a strong feeling that the various superpowers are likely to come from the arrangement and combination of various Source Stones - it is precisely because the Source Stones in each contractor's body are of different types and arrangements, so
A variety of contract abilities have been formed!
In this case... the source of the contract items will be revealed.
The extraordinary power of contracted items is most likely derived from Source Stones, from different arrangements and combinations of different types of Source Stones!
Compared with the contracted items, the contractor has nothing more than an additional "living" attribute, and an additional creature that can construct a higher-level arrangement and combination of Origin Stones in the body, which is the so-called upgrade!
"Alas..." Uncle Cat nodded, his tone returned to calmness, and he said to Mo Cai: "Although you have already guessed the result, I still want to explain it to you in detail."
After saying that, the cat's claws scratched the neck again and lifted the three metal cat spirits out of the thick hair: "Look, these are my contract items."
"Contract items are just ordinary items at first. When different types and quantities of Source Stones are arranged and fused according to certain rules, the ordinary items will generate magical power and become contract items!"
"The rules for the arrangement of Origin Stones that can produce magical power are exactly what Pandora is researching! After thousands of years of development and recording, Pandora has mastered a large number of rules for the arrangement of Origin Stones, and named these rules the Language of the Source!"
"The essence of the contractor is actually the language of awakening talisman..."
Pandora Organization is indeed not simple!
By studying the words of the contractor's talisman, wouldn't it mean that we have mastered the power to create contracted items?
Contract items are items with magical powers. Pandora holds the Word of Rune in her hand, which is equivalent to the manufacturer of contract items in this world, or...
Similar to the "equipment manufacturer" in online games!
...Unpredictable nodded numbly. Compared with the contract items, he was more concerned about the source of the contract's own words, so he asked Uncle Cat: "What should I do if the contractor upgrades?"
"Meow~" Uncle Cat waved his hand, signaling to unpredictable people not to worry:
"Take the white-level contractor as an example. You need to collect five white source stones numbered 1 to 5. After you can skillfully use the white-level contract ability, you can integrate these five source stones into your body. If you succeed, you can
Will be upgraded to a red-level contractor!"
"Similarly, if a red-level contractor collects the corresponding four red source stones, which are source stones No. 6 to 9, they can upgrade to orange level using the same method...and so on!"
"Every time a contractor upgrades, the original contract ability will be strengthened. For example, when I was at the white level, my contract ability was possession. After becoming the red level, the time required for possession is shorter and the distance is farther... In addition,
, some new skills will be awakened during the upgrade, but these newly awakened skills are basically auxiliary to the original contract abilities..."
"Take me as an example as well. During the process of rising to the red level, I also awakened 'Stiffness'. This auxiliary skill can make the target's body stiffen, making it easier to be captured by my source of symbols and thus possessed!"
