Chapter 236

Zhao Chi felt somewhat relieved.

"You're not going to use this strip-down method to pay, right?"

Gu Qing said, stunned: "The seller isn't you, my lord, so why would I use this method?"

"So, only against me?"

"Of course."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Then that's good."

Gu Qing lightly smacked Zhao Chi: "What nonsense are you thinking, my lord? I'm not that kind of woman."

When those words came from Gu Qing's mouth, their credibility was rather doubtful.

"... Really? Alright, I'll trust you for now."

"Why have you become so naggy, my lord? Since you don't need me to pay this way, hurry up and help me change my talent."

Gu Qing had long been unable to wait.

She had been envious when she saw Tang Ruan's talent.

Now hearing she had a chance too, she was of course happy and excited.

But Zhao Chi had to pour cold water on her.

"Gu Qing, let me warn you first—the new talent is also randomly generated, and it might not even be as good as your current one. If the new talent is too bad, I'll cancel the change and keep your current talent."

"Mm, I understand."

Zhao Chi said no more, took out the Three-Life Stone and handed it to Gu Qing.

"Activate it."

"Hehe, thank you, my lord. This stone is so pretty, it must be worth a fortune. Even if it fails, I still thank you."

The Three-Life Stone looked more like a tri-color stone.

It was a small stone slab the size of a palm, with three colors—red, yellow, and blue—on it.

After Gu Qing activated it, the three colors emitted a tri-colored light, wrapping Gu Qing completely from head to toe.

She stood as if within a rainbow.

Gradually, the light spread evenly around Gu Qing and slowly seeped into her fair skin.

The system sent a message:

【Gu Qing is awakening talent】

【...】

【Talent awakening complete】

Three talents appeared before the two of them.

They both looked at the same time.

First talent:

【Talent】 Beastman Scholar

【Grade】 E-grade, Growable

【Effect】 1. Skill effects on friendly beastmen +20%.

【Effect】 2. Skill effects on friendly other races -10%.

A common talent.

Yang Xiong seemed to have this talent; it suited him quite well.

For Zhao Chi or Gu Qing, it was useless.

Second talent:

【Talent】 Heavy Drinking

【Grade】 F-grade

【Effect】 1. Water intake +500%

【Effect】 2. Water output +500%

Oh no??

How did another trash talent appear?

Isn't this just the drinking-water version of that earlier "Gluttony" talent?

Gu Qing's luck wasn't great.

Now two talents were both trash; hopefully the third one would pull its weight.

Otherwise, this Three-Life Stone would have been used for nothing.

Hmm... wait.

Water output...?

What does "water output" mean?

The human body outputs water every day—urine the most, followed by sweat, and saliva too, presumably.

All within the scope of water output, right?

And these are all bodily fluids!

Gu Qing currently has the body-gene-improved "Healing Bodily Fluid."

If she chose this "Heavy Drinking" talent, wouldn't Gu Qing's bodily fluid volume increase fivefold?

Wow!

Isn't this a coincidence?

Who says this is a trash talent!

There is no trash in the world, only resources placed in the wrong spot.

There is also no trash talent in the world, only talent given to the wrong person.

If there are no surprises, I'll pick this talent.

Too bad it's not a growable talent, but that's not a big problem — the data can be transferred.

Now let's look at the third talent:

【Talent】 Spider Woman Silk Gland

【Grade】 Grade E, Growable

【Effect】 1. Can convert bodily fluids into silk pulp and spray out powerful spider silk

【Effect】 2. Receives +500% fire damage

Huh?

Let's not talk about this talent's effects for now.

The question is why Gu Qing awakened this kind of talent?

Spider woman silk…

Spider women belong to the undead race.

Gu Qing has nothing to do with the undead.

Could it be because she has the skeleton's Fearless talent?

Plus their daily headcount replenishment and birth method are all skeleton data, so she got connected to the undead?
