Chapter 2038

Not bad.

Zhuang Ya's skill can not only directly damage enemies, but also serve as a tactical skill.

Very good.

Just as Zhao Chi was about to close the interface, he suddenly noticed that Zhuang Ya's talent had also changed.

He quickly stopped.

【Name】Zhuang Ya

【Talent】Sadistic Preference → Sadistic Attachment

It's real…

Her talent has progressed.

It's already the attachment type…

Zhuang Ya is different from Tang Ruan; Tang Ruan's attachment talent won't harm other people.

She can coordinate with Zhao Chi, letting her talent be thoroughly fulfilled at dawn.

But Zhuang Ya can't.

Zhuang Ya's talent requires her to inflict damage on others.

Zhao Chi doesn't mind their various tricks, nor does he mind the whips in their hands.

But Zhuang Ya can't whip Zhao Chi every single time.

And even if she does use one, she can't truly hurt Zhao Chi—after all, her affection for him is maxed out, and she simply can't bear to really hurt him.

At most, when Zhao Chi enters through the door to find her—

She'll give him a hard squeeze with the door.

But that's all it amounts to.

Therefore—

Zhuang Ya really likes the work Zhao Chi assigns her, and often goes to the prison in Chaoge Town to spend time with those prisoners.

She even often looks forward to the prisoners resisting.

The more they resist, the happier she gets.

But the more she's like this, the more frightened those slaves become, and the less they resist.

In the end, a vicious cycle (a virtuous cycle).

Fortunately, after every battle, large numbers of new prisoners arrive, so Zhuang Ya's talent can be continuously satisfied.

As for now…

Those disobedient new slaves are probably in for bad luck.

Let's quickly check the specific effects.

【Sadistic Attachment】For every 5% damage dealt to an enemy, increase morale by 1%, up to a maximum of 90%, lasting 30 minutes. Can convert health into 150% spiritual power.

Two effects.

The first increases morale.

Morale is a good thing.

They'll be especially eager in battle.

Eager to charge, eager to attack, eager to cooperate, eager to assist in defense, eager to finish off enemies, eager to pursue, eager to fill gaps, eager to provide cover.

Although there's no specific numerical boost to combat power,

this is an attribute that improves all aspects.

It directly affects combat efficiency.

They're also extremely eager during production.

After finishing one task, they only take the necessary rest, then throw themselves wholeheartedly into the next one—completely voluntary and self-motivated.

Every single one is a workaholic.

And they're willingly grinding themselves into the ground.

Zhuang Ya is now Zhao Chi's personal blacksmith, so higher morale is also beneficial for production.

Zhao Chi is inside her body, grinding alongside Zhuang Ya, so production efficiency is very high.

Very useful.

The second half of the ability—converting health into 150% spiritual power—is also quite useful.

At first, she could only convert health into 50% spiritual power; the efficiency was low, and it was generally a loss.

But now it's up to 150%—a complete gain!

However, this conversion has a cap.

Just like Tang Ruan's hyper-speed self-healing, once a certain threshold is reached, the Xiaoguojiu Society diminishes.

But even so, this effect can keep Zhuang Ya's fire burning strong.

That's enough.

Zhuang Ya's Constitution is 6 points, her base health is 120 points, and with the undergarment's bonus it can reach 180 points.

These 180 points are Zhuang Ya's base health.

If Zhuang Ya uses gigantification, her health can approach 2,000 points.

If equipment durability health is added, it can reach around 7,000 points.

This is her maximum health.

Zhao Chi can enter her body, squeeze out her health-to-spiritual-power conversion, and then use Multiplication more times.

But Zhao Chi has never done this.

It was precisely because the previous conversion rate wasn't very high.

Couldn't convert too many giant female soldiers.

Moreover, having more giant female soldiers versus having one giant Zhuang Ya with full spiritual power — it wasn't certain which would be stronger.

This would also cause Zhuang Ya's armor to degrade rapidly, so Zhao Chi had never used her this way before.

But now the situation might have changed.

Her life conversion rate could reach 150%, making this method feasible — at least a viable option now.

But now Zhuang Ya has also learned Fire Wall, so the demand for spiritual technique is even greater.

And this Fire Wall seems quite useful too.

So… in the end, it'll still depend on the battlefield situation to make the final judgment.

Finished reading.

Zhao Chi carefully reviewed each person's information once more, confirming nothing was missed.

Closed the system.

Although there was still no clue about the werewolf invasion, seeing Gu Qing and the other three all grow stronger, Zhao Chi suddenly felt a surge of encouragement.

After every previous battle, it felt like combat power had leapt up by a huge margin.

Perhaps it was the result of accumulating through these repeated boosts.

Gu Qing and the others must also know their own strength had risen again.

In the past, Tang Ruan definitely couldn't contain her excitement and would rush over to share it with Zhao Chi.

Qi Yue would also secretly pretend to pass by, then sidle up and ask Zhao Chi if he noticed her changes.

But now none of them came.

All busy with work.

Zhao Chi's heavy burden lifted, he prepared to go find Zhuang Ya and start crafting equipment.

But at that moment Li Ruanyu suddenly sent a message.

Tone devoid of emotion.

【Zhao Chi, come to this coordinate immediately, attend a meeting】

A message out of nowhere.

But Zhao Chi knew Li Ruanyu definitely had no time to say more to him right now.

The coordinate was an unfamiliar location.

【Coordinate】 10SGJ0683

【Territory】 Outlook Commandery

【Building】 Lingzhu Conference Hall
