Chapter 2677: Transaction and Upgrade (24)

Carefree Spring.

Tang Ruan and Qi Yue's excitement from shopping had not yet faded.

They chatted while gently kneading Zhao Chi.

Their technique was extremely skilled.

But Zhao Chi was wrestling with a dilemma.

He was torn over how to handle those two Attribute Jades.

Should he use them on himself, or on his female subordinates?

If he used them on his female subordinates, he wouldn't have to worry about probability issues.

Zhao Chi could use his Driving Skill to modify their probabilities for them.

The only thing that bothered him was that his current attributes were not truly maxed out.

They were only full due to the Crown's bonus.

In fact, two attributes were still at 9 points, not having reached the true 10 points.

This feeling was truly unbearable.

It felt like something was missing.

But using them on himself felt truly useless.

Tang Ruan and Qi Yue had already accompanied him for several months.

Under the influence of the Speed-Work Talisman, their time together was even longer.

Zhao Chi had already grown accustomed to their presence.

And the two of them had always been doing their utmost.

Qi Yue was massaging Zhao Chi's small Spirit Pearl.

While Tang Ruan was gently circling the tip of the Dragon Head.

They knew Zhao Chi well; they knew what he liked, knew how to make him happy, and had all devoted themselves to him wholeheartedly and subconsciously.

Otherwise, should he use them on them?

Perfect, one for each.

But...

He could not resurrect.

The two of them could.

As long as he did not die, they could resurrect many times.

But if he died, their future was truly unknown.

Better to use them on himself.

The bonus from the Crown was always external, not inherent to himself.

If the Crown were damaged or lost, or affected by some enemy skill similar to "Disarm," he could indeed lose the Crown's bonus.

It was better to be cautious.

Only by keeping himself alive could he ensure their condition remained good.

He must first make himself stronger.

Moreover, if he opened trade lines with the Werewolves and the Nobles in the future, there might be quite a few more Attribute Jades.

He would add them to Tang Ruan and the others later.

His decision was made.

Zhao Chi immediately took out the two Attribute Jades and used them both.

Light flared and then vanished.

Zhao Chi's entire body glowed with a faint light.

Transfer Data!

Increase Probability!

Final Confirmation!

The faint light vanished.

This time, he had truly reached full attributes across the board.

The 40 attribute points were solidly his own attributes.

No impurities mixed in.

Thoroughly and completely, solid and firm.

40 points of full attributes!

Zhao Chi's heart was very calm.

Although a comfortable sensation kept coming from between his legs, Zhao Chi felt an extremely mysterious sensation.

That feeling was very uncomfortable.

It was not physical discomfort, but discomfort in the heart.

It was like when writing a character, when you clearly feel the character is familiar, but just cannot remember how to write it.

Or like when you are about to do something, but as soon as you open a door and turn a corner, you suddenly forget what you were going to do.

Or like just waking up, when you still remember the heart-stopping sensations and the unforgettable emotions in the dream, but the moment you think about it, you suddenly cannot remember what that dream was.

It was a feeling similar to this.

It seemed like he remembered, but had forgotten everything.

Yet that feeling was clearly in his mind, he just could not grasp it.

This is so awkward.

Suddenly, the system delivered a notification.

【Congratulations! Your basic attributes have reached human limits. You have automatically entered the "Superior Human" category. All basic attribute caps increased by 1 point, talent tier cap increased by 1 level, gene enhancement cap increased by 1 level.】

"What the—hell!!"

Zhao Chi suddenly sat up.

Tang Ruan and Qi Yue immediately let go.

Tang Ruan nervously asked: "What's wrong, my lord? Did I press too hard?"

Qi Yue quickly asked: "Did I squeeze you too tightly?"

Zhao Chi had no time to answer them, but they stared at him anxiously; he quickly waved his hands: "No, no, your techniques are excellent, very comfortable. I have something else to attend to—just wait a moment."

Tang Ruan and Qi Yue exhaled in relief.

Zhao Chi, however, held his breath.

He kept staring at the system notification.

He read it from start to finish, carefully and thoroughly.

The system notification was clear and straightforward.

But Zhao Chi still found it unbelievable.

Because this was wrong.

Superior Humans are indeed evolved from humans.

But that's the problem—it requires evolution.

That's evolution… how could it be this easy?

Evolution is equivalent to changing race.

Just like Su Qin switched from human to Taoyuan race—back then, it took many days and immense effort to complete the transformation.

But Zhao Chi now…

How could it be settled by a single system notification?

He hadn't done anything at all.

It couldn't possibly be that Tang Ruan rubbing his dragon head and Qi Yue rubbing his spirit pearl was enough?

This really felt off.

When Li Ruanyu and Shangguan Ting return, I'll ask them…

But I feel they wouldn't know either.
