Chapter 194

The Empress Dowager was dead, and the corrupted guards within the palace had also been cleared out by the Flying Bear Iron Cavalry.

The hidden mission was considered complete.

Chu Danqing instructed Xiong Zhigang to help look for some treasure-type items, so that Chu Danqing could convert them into Paradise Points.

Hearing Chu Danqing make a request, Xiong Zhigang naturally agreed at the first opportunity.

There really wasn't much he could help with, and it was rare for Chu Danqing to open his mouth to make a request; there was finally a time when he was useful.

Then, Chu Danqing sent them back; this time, there were no service fees.

【You have sent back the covenant object, the repatriation cognition rationalization modification is complete, current duration: 2 hours, consumption: Paradise Points x2160】

After sending them back, Chu Danqing left the palace at the first opportunity; he did not need to worry about the aftermath, as in such a large Shuojing, there were still civil and military officials, and someone would always stand up.

Actually, at the very beginning, he hadn't expected that everyone in the entire palace would turn into corrupted guards; as long as there were still living people, Chu Danqing could have managed it.

But with no living people left, he was a clever housewife unable to cook without rice.

Secondly, if he didn't send Guo Ming and Xiong Zhigang away, the time would exceed three hours, and if the time limit were exceeded, Chu Danqing would have to pay an extra 1080 Paradise Points.

After leaving the capital and finding a safe place, Chu Danqing finally opened the Destiny Treasure Chest dropped by the Empress Dowager.

【You have opened: Destiny Treasure Chest (Special), obtained: Skill Book (Cultivation Basics), Skill Book (Harmonization Basics), Racial Gene (Tiefling), Bloodline (Succubus), Profession (Bloodline Warlock), Skill Book (Nine Hells Meditation Art)】

"Ah? Why didn't it give a special skill..." Chu Danqing's expression carried disappointment.

The Empress Dowager's appearance, no matter how you looked at it, had some charm to it; at least give a skill similar to Long Zhangfengzi.

"A Tiefling Warlock possessing a Succubus bloodline, very reasonable."

"No wonder it looked familiar, but it shouldn't be the Tieflings and Succubi from DND; it's more like the Warlock genre in web novel Western fantasy," Chu Danqing muttered.

Chu Danqing glanced at the two basic skills, then directly chose to learn them.

Cultivation Basics was a basic skill of the Beast Command school within the Summoning system, while the Harmonization skill belonged to the general-type basic skill, which was also crucial for the Summoning system.

——

【Cultivation Basics: LV. 1】

【Skill Effect: Increases summoned object bloodline effect by 1%, increases summoned object racial foundation】

——

【Harmonization Basics: LV. 1】

【Skill Effect: Increases summoned object affinity tendency by 1%, harmonizes summoned object system conflicts】

——

As knowledge flooded into his mind, Chu Danqing's expression did not change much.

This basic knowledge was not much for him.

"Before going back, I should be able to raise the Summoning system's Cultivation Basics to around LV. 7." Chu Danqing already had three Summoning system basic skills; unless he was biased, it would be no problem to have the first one lead the later ones.

On the contrary, the Harmonization Basics skill seemed very unfamiliar to Chu Danqing.

Because Chu Danqing followed the Summoning system, the effect became increasing affinity and harmonizing summoned object system conflicts.

If changed to the melee system, it would be increasing skill error tolerance and harmonizing combat skill conflicts.

Every system had a need for it, and even the life system needed it; on the market, its value was equivalent to first-level basic skills like melee and ranged combat.

It was mainly because this basic skill required auxiliary types; it needed a main-stem basic skill to work, otherwise, it would not take effect with only this one basic skill.

And for Chu Danqing, this general-type basic skill was also very important.

Summoned object system conflicts were very fatal; the simplest point was that after he had this basic skill, the Ghost Mother and Ghost Infant could receive the buffs from the Son of Heaven.

The Ghost Mother was a ghost, and the Son of Heaven was a celestial spirit; if its buff fell on the Ghost Mother, it would only cause damage rather than gain enhancement.

It was equivalent to having a certain degree of friendly fire immunity after harmonization.

After all, it was still only basic, and it could not reach the level of ignoring the gap.

As for affinity tendency, this was relatively simple.

Now the Ghost Mother and the Son of Heaven no longer had system conflicts, but because the two systems were incompatible, the contradiction still existed.

At most, they wouldn't be hurt, but wanting to get buffs was a bit wishful thinking.

Affinity tendency was to supplement this point; now the Ghost Mother could enjoy 1% of the effect of the buffs released by the Son of Heaven.

Of course, this was still the simplest and crudest usage.

There were also usages similar to combined attacks, allowing two originally opposite systems to form a combined attack, giving it more violent power.

As for Cultivation Basics, this skill was more like a lower-level basic skill of the Summoning Art.

Summoning Art Basics was for increasing growth and potential, while Cultivation Basics was for racial foundation.

The two could be said to complement each other.

As for the bloodline effect, Chu Danqing would have to find a way for that himself.

Da Bao had the Fallen Flower Essence to cooperate, so activating the bloodline was no problem; on the contrary, Da Bai's situation was more special, and it was feared that it would need to raise Cultivation Basics and Harmonization Basics to LV. MAX to proceed.

Da Bai was actually a typical conflict system; without Harmonization Basics, wanting to activate the bloodline would probably require Cultivation Proficiency to be certain.

Afterwards, Chu Danqing stuffed the racial gene, bloodline, profession, and inheritance skills into his storage space without even looking at them.

He certainly would not use them, as they did not conform to his Summoning system.

Waiting to go back and sell them in a bundle, he estimated that only large forces could afford them; small teams and lone wolves certainly could not afford the price.

He had not yet thought about what to exchange them for.

"I also don't know how the Empress Dowager came to this world."

"A Western fantasy Tiefling would actually be in a martial arts worldview; it couldn't be the fault of some Apostles again, could it?"

Chu Danqing had obtained a Destiny Treasure Chest for the second time, and he had gained quite a bit of insight into how to obtain them.

Outsider, special, status, strength—those who met these four conditions, and triggered the highest-level kill-type hidden mission, had a possibility of dropping a Destiny Treasure Chest.

Whether it was Emperor Taichang or the Empress Dowager, both met these four conditions.

"There is still quite a bit of trial time left, let's find a place to cultivate."

"I want to improve Cultivation Basics, Da Bai needs to improve the Nine-Headed Spirit Scripture, and I won't get involved in subsequent matters."

Chu Danqing had already done well enough, having defeated the biggest BOSS; what followed could only depend on the common people themselves.

He did think about guiding them, but he was willing but unable.

The premise of sheltering all the scholars in the world to be happy was having millions of mansions.

If there were none, it was better to be poor and cultivate one's own virtue.

Chu Danqing would not be isolated from the world, and in the remaining trial time, he would come out from time to time to inquire about the situation.

——

Time flew by, and Chu Danqing only had half an hour left of his trial time.

He stopped in time and did not continue to grind.

Combining work and rest was the key.

Over these days, he had been specializing in Cultivation Basics and Da Bai's Nine-Headed Spirit Scripture.

By now, Cultivation Basics had been raised to LV. 8, 1 level higher than estimated.

This caused the bloodline effect to increase to 8%.

On the contrary, Da Bai's Nine-Headed Spirit Scripture, with the cooperation of the Spirit Nourishing Liquid, advanced by leaps and bounds to level 10.

Since the improvement began, Chu Danqing's mana had not been higher than 100 points for a single minute, all supplied to Da Bai for cultivation.

The improvement of the inheritance skill was not the point; the point was that after level ten, Da Bai had grown another head.

And this head had self-consciousness; while memories were shared, the personalities were completely different.

Now every day, two Da Bais shouted "Daddy, hiss" in Chu Danqing's mind.

Sometimes in harmony, sometimes taking turns, playing happily.

【Xiangliu White Snake · House-Guarding Spirit (Liu Changying)】

【Attributes】

【HP: 100%】

【Spirit Power: 10200 (Current ratio is: Spirit Attribute x10x2, current recovery efficiency is: 100 points per minute)】

【.】

【Spirit: 10x2】

【Perception: 10x2】

【Spirituality: 12】

【.】

【Skills】

【Nine-Headed Spirit Scripture (Inheritance) LV. 10】

【Spirit Power +1000 per level, Spirit Power recovery +100】

【Inheritance Skills】

【Spirit Art · Spirit Healing (Active) LV. 10: Consumes 10 Spirit Power, instantly restores 100 HP to the target, purifies 1 negative status】

【Spirit Art · Spirit Healing (Active) LV. 10: Consumes 20 Spirit Power, continuously restores a total of 200 HP within the range over 30 seconds, gains 10 points of shield value lasting 10 seconds】

【Spirit Art · Evil Curse (Active) LV. 10: Consumes 10 Spirit Power, all attributes of targets within range -1 point, HP recovery effect -1%, lasts 20 seconds, can stack up to 2 layers】

【Spirit Art · Evil Words (Active) LV. 10: Consumes 20 Spirit Power, causes the target to fall into a weak, poisoned state, lasts 20 seconds, can stack up to 2 layers】

——

【Multiple Casting (Passive) LV. 2: When releasing a skill, release it an additional 2 times, consuming half the Spirit Power of that skill】

——

With the improvement of the Nine-Headed Spirit Scripture and the growth of another head, Da Bai's auxiliary ability could be said to have undergone a qualitative leap.

Healing carried buffs and shields, and negative control had more entries and increased stacking layers.

Of course, the strongest should be Multiple Casting; originally one head could only release it 1 more time, now both heads could each release it 2 times.

It was equivalent to releasing a skill once and having it fission into three castings; more importantly, the latter two castings only needed to consume half the Spirit Power.

As for the situation in Great Shu during this period, Chu Danqing also understood some; the Reform Army led by Wei Chu Yi grew along the way and occupied Shuojing seven days ago.

And according to Chu Danqing's instructions, they pushed for reform, enlightened wisdom, and strengthened the people's power.

Although they had not yet unified, because the implemented policies were beneficial to the people, they were the direction of the people's hearts.

Previously, it was estimated that they had other thoughts, but after Chu Danqing "slaughtered" the palace, the people of the Reform Army all became honest.

"I don't know how much the prices in Paradise have risen after Rank One." Chu Danqing took out a card; this was the reward given to him by Blood Eagle.

【You used: Paradise Savings Card, obtained: Paradise Points x50000】

"I hope it's not too outrageous, otherwise I really can't afford to raise them," Chu Danqing felt helpless.

As the words fell, the remaining trial time hit zero.
