Chapter 903 - Transformation (1/2)
“This item is a little interesting. This looks a little like an Ultraman transformation.”
“This looks like a biochemical transformation!”
“Wow, he really looks a little like a Creeper…”
“No, no, no, this is a Ravager!”
“Bullsh*t, look at his sexy bone spikes. He is obviously a Skeleton Horse!”
“I didn’t study much, but don’t lie to me. This is obviously a monster from Balala the Fairies.”
The players all gathered around with curiosity in their eyes.
Their height was only up to the transformed player’s crotch, and they were like dwarfs surrounding a giant. The players then stretched out their hands to touch the body of the transformed player.
“Oi! Watch where you’re touching! You’re touching my ass! Why don’t you transform yourself if you’re so curious‽”
That player was exasperated and swung his palm out like a heavy hammer. The few players surrounding him were immediately sent flying and crashing into the alloy walls.
The players who were sent flying were not angry at all. They all stood up and puked out a mouthful of blood before crowding forward again excitedly.
“Wow, that attack dealt a lot of damage. How powerful.”
“Hurry up and check your attributes.”
The other players pestered him by the side.
Han Xiao’s eyes sparkled as he watched the scene before him.
The Ovitan Badge was an item that had been through many rounds of improvements and modifications. The Evolutionary Civilization would not create soldiers that lost all reason. Thus, the transformed being would maintain a certain degree of their consciousness and would not enter a [Chaos] state. It was just that their intelligence level and mental resistance would fall, and they were only capable of making some basic judgement. However, because of the uniqueness of the players, they would not experience any changes to their mental state after using the Ovitan Badge.
This meant that his theory was right. The players were the most suitable bunch to use the Ovitan Badge!
They did not lose their rationality and could fully utilize their strength after the evolution!
Han Xiao coughed and interrupted the players. “How are you feeling right now? Can you still control your body freely?”
“I can.” The transformed player performed a few actions curiously and displayed his stunning dexterity. His nails transformed into sharp claws to scratch his bald head.
Han Xiao nodded, and nanoparticles gushed out from his sleeves to form a golden needle.
“Don’t move, let me check your body.”
As he said that, Han Xiao stabbed the needle into the transformed being’s body, and combat information popped up.
The Ovitan Badge seemed to exist in the form of a buff, and this player was currently experiencing the buff.

Woah, how ferocious!
Han Xiao excitedly analyzed the effects of the badge.
The transformation had obviously prioritized close combat strength, and the gene evolution path that the Evolutionary Civilization had set leaned toward strengthening the body while weakening the mind.
After all, the initial motive of designing the Ovitan Badge was to scam investments… cough cough, create a suicidal civilian army. Thus, strengthening the body was the fastest way to raise an individual’s strength.
After the transformation, their biggest improvement was in their tankiness!
During Version 3.0, the player’s level limit was 120. When he was at level 120, his health was about thirty thousand, and the players, who did not have any Molding Talents, should have about ten thousand health with their basic Endurance boost being one to fifty. After the transformation, the player’s health was increased by four times!
Just this extra boost provided by the transformation would provide the players with forty thousand more health, and together with the few hundred points of Endurance that a level 120 player had, it was possible for their health to break the hundred thousand mark. Just from their health alone, it was sufficient to be compared to an ordinary Calamity Grade Super!
An ordinary level 120 player would have their attributes in the range of the hundreds. As such, the boost to their Strength, Dexterity, and Endurance would be almost doubled.
Thus, the benefits of the transformation were extremely obvious. If a player transformed when their HP was low, there was definitely a chance to turn the entire battle around.
However, the weakness was also extremely obvious. An individual’s Intelligence and Mystery would be greatly reduced, and their mental resistance would be frighteningly low. Furthermore, a lot of the frozen skills would be the long-ranged skills, resulting in the transformed being’s long-range combat capability being extremely poor. If the transformed being could not drag the enemy into a close ranged battle, it was very likely that the transformed being would end up becoming a live target board.
Just as he was viewing the combat information, Bun-Hit-Dog and the others also saw the attribute panel being shared by the transformed player.
“F***! This is too overpowered!”
“Although he is extremely ugly, I can accept it!”
Everyone then activated the badges excitedly, and eight more beasts appeared in the room. Feeling their powerful strength, they jumped around the room like monkeys. Bun-Hit-Dog was the only one who did not transform.
Bun-Hit-Dog swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked Han Xiao with agitation, “Army Commander, will this item be sold to everyone after this test?”
Han Xiao looked at him and said, “Hmm, although the side effects of this item is extremely large, it is very useful. I will produce it in large quantities and sell it to the members of the army. As for whether they want to buy it or not, that will be their personal choice.”
Bun-Hit-Dog’s eyes widened, and he instantly knew that this matter would be world shaking news.
This was his exclusive content!
I am going to be trending for sure!
Following which, Han Xiao got the players to perform a few tests and obtained valuable research data. Finally, the players’ health dropped to zero, and they revived back into their original forms.
After confirming the usage of the Ovitan Badge, Han Xiao could also be at ease and gave the ten suicidal players their mission reward. He then watched as they left excitedly, and he got Phillip to place the Ovitan Badge in the army’s store. At the same time, he had also refreshed the interface of the faction store.
The product name was also changed, and it was not called the Ovitan Badge. Instead, it was called ‘Black Star Army Badge: Evolution’. The picture on the badge was the Black Star logo of the Black Star Army.
Because the core technological skill required was the Evolution Cube, the production cost of the Ovitan Badge was extremely low. Furthermore, it could be reused as long as it was refilled with energy. Han Xiao set the price of such a powerful equipment at 150,000 Enas and 2,500 Contribution Points. The price of the Ovitan Badge was akin to that of a spaceship, and his profits were sky high! The price that he had set was mainly to target the player group.
