Chapter 1942: Auxiliary Gene Improvement (4)

This gene's first effect is already pretty good.

But there's a second effect.

Equally good.

The second effect is a -50% chance of being discovered.

The earlier one was distance; this one is probability.

In other words, even if an enemy reaches a range where they could see it, there's still a chance they won't.

Pretty much like those people who are blind despite having their eyes open.

Zhao Chi didn't understand the principle, but he'd had this kind of experience before.

For example, when looking for something, it's clearly right in front of you, yet you search for ages before finding it.

Or like those "spot the difference" pictures — the two images are basically identical, but with subtle differences, and it still takes a long time to find them all.

Maybe it's something like that?

Zhao Chi wasn't sure.

But the data on the system clearly stated -50% discovery chance, so it had to be correct.

So.

This gene reduces discovery distance by 50% and discovery chance by 50% — a strong combination.

With these two effects stacked together, when those elves are in the woods, enemies really have a hard time spotting them.

Even at close range, they might still be overlooked.

That's terrifying.

But since there are no other enhancements, the cost is a bit less than Tree Affinity — only 17 improvement points.

The match rate is also slightly higher, at 42%.

Su Qin 【Zhao Chi, this gene is also great. You're confident, right? 42% chance is still decent】

Zhao Chi 【Don't worry about the odds. Just watch me improve it】

Su Qin 【Oh…】

First, choose to replace Diet with Lightness.

【You have chosen to improve the "Lightness" gene for the "Elf" race, replacing the "Diet" gene. 15 improvement points required, success rate 6%. Confirm?】

Here comes the critical part!

Success or failure hinges on this one move!

Su Qin's slender, soft finger reached out and tapped lightly.

A flash of golden light!

Holy shit!

It actually worked!!

Truthfully, Zhao Chi hadn't been fully confident before.

After all, Su Qin was a completely independent woman — a bit different from Tang Ruan.

This sort of thing had never been tried before; it was only theoretically possible.

But until it happened, Zhao Chi couldn't be 100% certain.

Now, seeing that golden glow, Zhao Chi's heart settled.

Zhao Chi 【Su Qin, can you see the light? Golden】

Su Qin 【Light? No? Are you talking about the sunlight outside?】

Zhao Chi 【Look at your fingertip. Is there any?】

Su Qin 【My fingertip? There's only the gene information, no light】

Zhao Chi 【Got it. Don't tell anyone about anything happening right now】
