Chapter 2965

After all, the elf population is very large, and they can provide great support later; they are also destined to be a sub-race.

Click to use.

A glow shot out, illuminating Fu Yao's eyes.

Fu Yao stared fixedly at Zhao Chi, her eyes almost glued to him.

The glow dimmed.

【Congratulations: Elf race gene upper limit expanded to 5】

Good, try again.

Set the Bone Gathering and Regeneration gene as the elf race's gene.

【"Bone Gathering and Regeneration" gene set successfully】

Success!

Just as I thought.

Good good good, keep setting.

Following Zhao Chi's preferences, he wanted to give all elves the "Strong Pectoral Muscles" gene, since although elves have good physiques, many are flat-chested.

In this regard, they are truly inferior to humans.

If you add one size, charm also increases a bit.

But no.

Elves currently have only five gene upper limits; practicality must still be prioritized.

The Taoyuan race's genes are all quite excellent.

The limit of only five is truly too few.

Choose first.

If there are genes that must be added later, consider expanding the elves' gene pool further.

First, the elf's role remains archers; this will not change.

Then continue setting genes according to archer standards.

Archer standards differ greatly from warrior standards.

First.

"Supple Body" and "Extreme Desire Scent" can be discarded.

Although they would make female elves very supple and pleasant to hold, and all of them would be fragrant.

But they are ranged units; these two genes are better suited for close-combat soldiers.

Especially since "Extreme Desire Scent" has a limited range, far below the range of their bows.

If their gene upper limit were sufficient, of course we could add them, but now they only have five gene slots, with four left—skip them.

Meanwhile, "Intense Body Odor," which pairs with "Extreme Desire Scent," is also unnecessary.

The thirteen genes such as "Fire Creature," "Underwater Breathing," "Water Affinity," and so on can all be discarded.

All are strong, all are excellent.

But all must be painfully discarded.

Zhao Chi kept only those more suitable.

There are nine genes from the Taoyuan race: "Night Vision," "Dynamic Vision," "Enhanced Load-Bearing Capacity," "Leap," "Clan Summon," "Equipment Fusion," "Silver Moon Transformation," "Darkness Affinity," "Raw Strength."

Plus the three genes elves originally possessed: "Dexterity," "Tree Affinity," "Tree Shelter."

Twelve in total.

Now it's a choice of four from twelve—selecting the best among the best.

Among them, "Night Vision" and "Enhanced Dynamic Vision," besides their individual effects, can activate a synergy effect that enlarges the target by 300%.

Although the Taoyuan race has always used it, this gene is exceptionally suited for ranged attacks.

When elves shoot, targets are directly magnified threefold, becoming four times their original size—this greatly boosts accuracy.

Although accuracy isn't the most critical attribute in formation shooting, it becomes increasingly vital once enemies close in.

Moreover, the Dynamic Vision is enhanced, increasing dynamic vision capability by 600%.

This value is extremely high.

Dynamic Vision is the ability to track fast-moving objects.

When enemies charge, they appear almost stationary to the elves—shooting a moving target versus a stationary one is an entirely different challenge.

Accuracy can be greatly improved.

Thus, this gene set can dramatically increase accuracy.

Paired with Night Vision, it also solves the elves' major weakness: impaired vision at night.

It allows elf archers to see distant targets clearly 24 hours a day, enabling them to unleash 100% of their combat power.

Although it occupies two gene slots, its effect fully justifies two slots—and even exceeds them.

Almost mandatory.

Tentatively hold off; keep reading.

Next is "Enhanced Enhanced Load-Bearing Capacity."

If these were close-combat troops, Zhao Chi would choose it without hesitation.

It is a god-tier gene for close-combat troops; the Taoyuan female soldiers could wear ultra-heavy Xuannü Armor precisely because of this gene.

But elves are not close-combat troops; there's no need to equip ultra-heavy armor—leather armor will suffice.

What elves need is a powerful bow and plenty of arrows.

But should elves be equipped with ultra-heavy bows?

Extreme Heavy Elven Bow...

Previously, Su Qin's elves defaulted to only 4 points of strength, unable to use the Extreme Heavy Elven Bow.

If they became High Nobles, they could barely use it.

However, the production time for the Extreme Heavy Bow is very long; craftsmen also need extra training to make them.

Plus, the Extreme Heavy Bow consumes more stamina and various resources; in a single battle, its power is indeed extremely strong, and its attacks are very ferocious.

But in continuous battles, they might all collapse from exhaustion.

And the battles ahead will absolutely be continuous.

It's truly better to let them continue using standard-weight Elven Bows.

In that case, the Overload Gene isn't so important.

Temporarily abandon it.

Next is "Leap".

This gene can increase jumping by 300%, very suitable for elves.

With this super jumping ability, the elves' leaps between big trees become more convenient; they can jump directly across tree trunks that are very far apart.

And climbing trees is also convenient; with a casual jump and a hand push, they're up there.

It can also increase their stride, making running like long jumps, and continuous, uninterrupted rapid long jumps can also increase movement speed quite a bit.

This gene is good.

But there are too many good genes; this one will be put on hold for now.

Next is "Clan Summon".

In theory, this is very strong.

But the problem is that although this gene is called a racial gene, it actually resembles an individual gene more.

Because only the lord of the territory can use it; at the very least, it must be the village chief.

And the number of summons is also limited.

This item is actually a divine skill, especially for ranged troops.

But because it is too strong, the restrictions are also severe; there's no way around it, so it must be discarded.

Perhaps after this talent is strengthened, there will be changes, and the restrictions can be loosened a bit.

But not now.

Do not set this up for the elves.

Abandon it.

The next one is "Equipment Fusion".

When seeing this gene, Zhao Chi was very conflicted.
