Kapitel 41: Food Coma?

Lin Wu ate his first bite of the pieces of husk and found them to be rather crunchy now. Although he was not able to directly bite off the pieces from the entire husk, now that it was broken into bite sized pieces, eating them was much easier.

His multiple spike like teeth worked like a grinder, crushing the pieces of the husk into even smaller pieces which were then swallowed with ease.

Just as he finished swallowing down the first morsel, the sound of a notification rang in Lin Wu's mind.

~Ding~

——

SKILL PROFICIENCY: Increased

SKILL: Radiation Manipulation increased from Basic to Novice.

——

"Alright! Finally, it increased. Let's see what's the difference in my radiation perception now." Lin Wu said before eating a few more pieces of the husk.

~Crunch~

The crunching sounds continued as Lin Wu's teeth continued grinding the pieces of husk while he focused on the skill that had just increased in proficiency.

Lin Wu willed it and the innate skill of Radiation manipulation was activated, making his vision change. An array of colors appeared in his vision unlike the previous black, grey, and blue. This time there were other colors such as red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, violet, and blue visible.

Lin Wu looked down at the broken pieces of the husk and found them to be green in color, unlike the black from before.

'It looks as if I'm watching one of those thermal cameras from my past life.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

He turned his head around and took in the view of his surroundings. The sky above him was dark blue with the white sun being faintly visible behind clouds while they themselves were a shade of Violet. The ground beneath him was green in color and in the distance, some parts of the cooled lava were yellow in color.

Extremely far in the distance to the south, Lin Wu spotted a few red dots that seemed to be stationary and faintly flickered.

"Are those… flames? They're still burning?" Lin Wu spoke as he finished his fifth morsel.

Lin Wu had kept on looking around while eating and had not missed a single bite. He looked back to the pieces of the husk and saw that there were still far too many of them left. He had barely eaten one percent of all fragments till now, and it had taken him five minutes to do too.

~Phew~

"Better increase my pace," Lin Wu said to himself before deactivating the radiation perception.

~Crunch~

The crunching sounds continued as Lin Wu spent nearly eight hours to finish the entirety of the husk. After finishing all of the pieces, he felt bloated for the first time after an incredibly long time.

"Damn, that was a lot." Lin Wu stated as he stroked his bulging belly with his tail.

Lin Wu looked rather strange now with a bulging belly, making it seem as if he was a python that had swallowed an entire bull. Just as he was wondering how long it would take him to digest all of these pieces of husk, the system's notification appeared.

~Ding~

——

NOTIFICATION: Initiate hibernation for faster digestion and assimilation? Yes/No?

——

'Oh, it can do this too? Nice, this will save me time. I can't move much right now either…' Lin Wu thought before giving his reply.

"Yes, initiate hibernation system." Lin Wu answered the system.

~Ding~

——

HIBERNATION: Initiating in 3… 2… 1…

——

And with this Lin Wu's none existent eyelids became heavy, and he fell into a deep sleep. He had now begun to trust the system a bit more and did not worry that anything would happen to him. The entirety of the area was already a zone of death, thus there was nothing that could threaten him.

Although there were dangerous and toxic fumes in the air along with radiation, they caused no harm to Lin Wu, instead becoming a protective feature for him.

Time passed by quickly as Lin Wu's body underwent changes and increased in size. The increase in size this time was rather large, and it did not look like it would stop anytime soon.

An unknown amount of time passed, after which the system's notification sounded again, signaling the end of the process.

~Ding~

——

DIGESTION: Complete

ASSIMILATION: Complete

HIBERNATION: Terminating

——

Lin Wu opened his eyes and found himself at a rather tall height.

"Huh, what? Did I move to a higher area or something?" Lin Wu muttered in confusion before his muddle headed state ended.

He finally realized that he wasn't actually at a high place, but rather it was his eyes that had moved. Lin Wu was currently in a coiled posture, and even then the height of his eyes was at nearly four meters. He looked down and saw his body that was tightly coiled.

"Looks like I grew a lot this time…" He stated.

~Ding~

——

NOTIFICATION: The Host Data has been updated please check it in the relevant window.

——

Seeing the notification, Lin Wu immediately opened the Host Data Window.

Looking at the updated Host Data window, Lin Wu felt happy. Not only had his unknown bloodline progressed further, but two of his innate skills had also increased in proficiency directly, raising them to the next level that was the Intermediate level.

"Awesome! Looks like obtaining more of the bloodline samples is good for me. Hopefully, it keeps on enhancing my skills."
