Shen Hao left the Instance and appeared at home.
Upon returning, he immediately selected a new Instance to match with and then opened the system panel.
He's still level 20, and his stats haven't changed. The reward for this Instance should be one of the boss's abilities.
He didn't have high expectations for this reward.
Since the Instance boss doesn't have any particularly powerful abilities to begin with, inheriting any abilities won't have any impact on him.
When he checked his special abilities, he discovered that he had indeed gained new abilities.
"Devotion, you are a faithful follower of the Lord of the Netherworld; you will not be affected by Lord of the Netherworld resentment or curse."
This ability seems useless, at least not in the real world, but it might be useful in game Instances.
The Netherworld is filled with the resentment and curses of the Lord of the Netherworld. With this ability, he can explore more in the Instance.
The future is promising.
His Fear Points currently 130,000; instead of increasing, it has decreased.
This is because using skills and upgrading abilities in Instance consumes a lot of resources.
He upgraded his Possession ability to level 10 in the Instance.
The skill's maximum level is 10; it cannot be improved further.
"Possession: Level 10. You can use this ability on a corpse, provided that the corpse has recently died and is basically intact."
If used on a living person, as long as the other person feels fear and their Mental Attribute is lower than yours, you can use the Possession ability.
You can assign any of your own Mental Attributes to the Possession object; the amount of Mental Attributes you assign will affect the duration of the Possession.
You can use all the abilities of the Possession person and read their important memories.
In other words, as long as the other party feels fear towards him, even if their Mental Attributes are only slightly lower than his, he can still Possession.
The conditions for Possession can be met very easily.
Furthermore, it can read memories and use the other person's abilities.
There was indeed a qualitative change after reaching level 10.
He also upgraded his Immortal Body to level 10, which has now reached its limit.
Although he cannot truly be immortal, he is now very difficult to kill.
"Immortal Body, Level 10."
You won't be killed easily unless your brain suffers a devastating blow damaging more than 90% of its surface, or your body is burned to ashes.
Injury will not affect your combat ability; on the contrary, it will put your body in a state of heightened alertness, increasing your constitution attribute by 10%.
Your body organs can regenerate; even if you lose most of them, you can still reshape them by consuming Demon Power.
He is indeed very difficult to kill now; at least, physical methods can no longer truly harm him.
His weakness is his low mental strength, which is his biggest shortcoming right now.
He hoped to compensate for this shortcoming by inheriting a large amount of Mental Attributes through an Instance.
After all, he's the boss; he can't have such obvious weaknesses.
Upgrading these two abilities to level 10 consumed nearly 40,000 Fear Points in total.
If he hadn't gained something from the Instance, his Fear Points would be less than 100,000 right now.
He enjoys having a high Fear Points, and if his Fear Points drops below 100,000, it makes him feel very uncomfortable.
He did not upgrade his Mental Perception ability again, mainly because this ability consumes a lot of energy, which is difficult for his current Mental Attributes to handle.
After acquiring the Demon Domain, he became less reliant on this ability.
The insect he obtained in the Instance is called the "Bone-Eroding Insect," and he upgraded it to level 5.
This insect is a creature from the Netherworld; it is very small, and its larvae are almost invisible to the naked eye.
They are hermaphroditic creatures with a strong reproductive capacity, but their lifespan is also very short.
These worms can parasitize most living organisms, and just one can reproduce continuously.
They hatch, feed, grow, and then die in a short period of time, causing endless suffering to their hosts.
Once the host dies, their lives are almost over, but they will leave behind unhatched eggs, which will hatch again when the environment is suitable.
After being enhanced by Shen Hao's Demon Power, these insects' vitality was increased, and their lifespan was extended to 30 minutes.
They are not easily killed, and they can devour souls and spiritual energy.
Their offspring learn from their deaths, evolve, and avoid being killed by the same thing.
Shen Hao really liked these insects, feeling that they had a lot of potential to grow.
Of course, the most important thing is that this thing is cruel, more painful than most forms of torture.
After all, he wanted to become the most terrifying Demon, and such a thing was very valuable to him.
Then, Shen Hao took out the doll Xiaobai from his inventory.
He hadn't used this puppet in a long time because Xiaobai's strength was no longer enough to deal with players in their twenties.
He felt he needed to upgrade this puppet.
After all, he can't be in two places at once, and sometimes he does need help. Besides, he still has a lot of Fear Points, so he shouldn't be stingy with them when necessary.
He spent 20,000 Fear Points to upgrade the puppet to level 10.
This is the limit that the puppet can reach; it can no longer be improved with Demon Power.
His Fear Points is now down to 110,000, thankfully it hasn't dropped below 100,000.
Although the upgraded puppet's appearance remained the same, its strength had undergone a significant change.
The doll's base attributes have been improved.
Physical fitness: 600
Spirit: 300
In addition to the changes in the basic attributes, three special attributes have been added.
"Hard Shell; the doll's shell has become extremely sturdy and cannot be easily destroyed."
Even if it is destroyed, as long as the core remains, it can still be reborn.
"Bewitch the Heart. The doll's appearance is harmless, so people will easily develop a liking for it, be willing to believe it, and not feel hostility towards it."
However, the life force surrounding the doll will be continuously and slowly diminished in its Mental Attributes, but the source of those affected cannot be determined.
"The Doll Core can be modified, fusing with various extraordinary items or life forms to gain new abilities."
The doll's attributes have now improved in all aspects, and its Mental Attributes have even surpassed those of its master, Shen Hao.
Such a puppet can easily deal with Ability Users of level 20 or above.
Moreover, the existence of the Doll Core allows the doll to continuously grow.
Shen Hao noticed the description of the Doll Core, and he suddenly had an inspiration: the ability to fuse with various extraordinary beings.
She can fuse with extraordinary objects, or even life itself.
Shen Hao thought of a shadow.
Although the shadow's will was erased, the shadow still exists, still within his Demon Domain.
He had initially thought it was useless, but now it seemed that he could try to merge the puppet with that shadow.
That's a transcendent being who calls himself a god; he might bring a huge boost to the puppet.
