Chapter 2491

And not only was there a spear to wield, but all the others were powerful weapons as well.

All of them could be used.

Today I'll just treat her as Zhuang Ya.

If I don't let her turn into a water person, then I won't be surnamed Zhao!

Li Ruanyu and Shangguan Ting have both entered Phoenix Chant Tower; their conversation will probably take some time.

No rush.

This time is perfect for testing the effect of the Shadow Crown.

There were no special instructions about wearing it.

Then I'll just place it directly on my head.

His hair was pressed down slightly.

Suddenly, light burst forth in all directions.

It was as if a floodlight had been switched on atop his head—a swath of golden light shining down from above.

In just an instant, Zhao Chi received a system message.

【You have equipped "Shadow Crown"; your status is temporarily elevated to "Human Nobility"; all base attributes +1】

【Note: Your "Constitution" and "Agility" attributes have both reached the human limit and cannot be increased further; "Strength" and "Intelligence" attributes have successfully increased by 1 point】

So the attributes added by noble status still couldn't break through the attribute cap.

That was determined by race.

The attribute cap for humans was 10 points.

Elves had an Agility and Intelligence cap of 11 points, but a Constitution and Strength cap of 9 points.

Beastfolk were the opposite—Constitution and Strength cap of 11 points, while Agility and Intelligence cap of 9 points.

Other races also had their own different caps.

If he couldn't change his race, then it seemed the base attributes truly couldn't be broken through.

Then… could he change his race?

For now, of course not.

But in this world… was there really anything that couldn't be done?

Perhaps he could find a way later?

He wouldn't think about it for now.

Zhao Chi looked at his own attributes.

His attributes were now nearly maxed out.

【Constitution】 10 points, 【Strength】 9 points, 【Agility】 10 points, 【Intelligence】 8 points.

Total attributes were 37 points.

He had already surpassed Gu Qing's 36 points, becoming the strongest.

He was practically a superman.

And because they were already maxed, two attributes had been temporarily wasted.

Perhaps after changing race later, or expanding the attribute cap, he could add them back?

Future matters could be dealt with in the future.

Now, Zhao Chi alone, purely through his attributes, had already far surpassed ordinary people.

He even far surpassed an ordinary lord.

Let's look at his Command again.

【Name】 Zhao Chi

【Command】 260 (65+195)

Zhao Chi's Command, after the position bonus, was 65 points; then with the Crown's 300% bonus added, it came to 260 points in total…

In the future, when using Bloodlust Art and Swift Wind Step, he could cover more female soldiers.

He could use the skills far fewer times to give all female soldiers the buff.

This way he could save a lot of spiritual power, and transform more female soldiers.

Very good.

However…

He wondered whether, when piloting Gu Qing and the others, the Shadow Crown's effect would still continue to work?

He'd try it immediately.

Tang Ruan was busy.

Then he'd call Qi Yue over, and while he was at it, make another Speed-Work Talisman's Maiden's Lament—or rather, the 【Ultra-Long-Lasting Extreme Bliss Maiden's Lament】.

After enhancement, the name became very long.

Zhao Chi had considered changing the name.

But he still felt this name suited it perfectly.

Then he wouldn't change it; the short form would be Maiden's Lament.

Qi Yue teleported over quickly.

The very first reaction upon seeing Zhao Chi was to stare at the top of his head.

"Wow, my lord, why have you put on a crown? You look so mighty and imposing!"

"Really?"

Zhao Chi couldn't see his own appearance, so he could only touch the top of his head and feel what it was like wearing the crown.

"How about this?"

Zhao Chi transferred the crown onto the helmet, then switched to equipment mode.

In an instant, a suit of steel armor appeared on Zhao Chi's body.

Qi Yue said in surprise, "Huh? My lord, you have a crown helmet too?"

On Zhao Chi's steel helm, gleaming with metallic luster, a golden crown was set in perfect harmony.

It didn't look like it had been placed on top at all — more like the helm had originally come with a crown-shaped design.

Zhao Chi laughed and said, "I'll go in first; just listen to my heart's voice and you'll know what's going on."

"Alright!"

Zhao Chi immediately transformed into a streak of light and dove into Qi Yue's body.

In an instant, both of them heard each other's heart's voice.

Qi Yue gradually understood everything that had just happened, as well as the situation with the crown.

Zhao Chi, meanwhile, "saw" within Qi Yue's inner world what he himself looked like wearing the crown.

It really was quite majestic.

"Clothes make the man" — that saying really isn't just empty talk.

Looking like this now, there really was a noble air about him.

Too bad, it was only temporary.

Although Zhao Chi had a very poor impression of nobles, he didn't reject becoming one himself.

He wasn't after oppressing commoners for pleasure, nor after a lofty status — only that all-attribute +1 stat point, which truly couldn't be refused.

However.

Although he looked quite good like this now, he definitely couldn't be too flashy.

For the time being, he'd better keep a low profile.

Fortunately, the crown could be hidden too — then everything was foolproof.

Having thought all this through in an instant.

Zhao Chi immediately opened Qi Yue's current hero attribute interface to check the data.

【Name】Qi Yue

【Command】325 (65+260)

It really works!

Qi Yue's current Command value had already reached as high as 325 points.

Of those, 65 points were Qi Yue's Command value, and 260 points were Zhao Chi's Command value.

Zhao Chi's Command value was the figure after the crown's bonus.
