Chapter 705

It really can produce an extra pair of arms, but it's not permanent — it's temporary.

That's not bad, though.

If it were permanent, Zhao Chi would actually have to think it over carefully.

The reason is the same as with the Snake Hair gene — if all the women in the territory turned into four-armed beings, it would really feel strange.

If it's only temporary, that's acceptable.

But it's a pity this is an individual gene, not a racial gene — only one person can use it.

Now all three female heroes already have individual improved genes, and they're all pretty good.

The only one without an individual gene is Zhao Chi.

So, should he use this gene on himself?

Zhao Chi hesitated a little.

Besides himself, Qi Yue would actually be a very good fit too.

Qi Yue's characteristic is extremely fast attack speed.

Combined with her talent "Exclusive Tear," the faster the attack speed, the higher the damage.

If Qi Yue had four arms…

One holding a shield, three holding blades — the damage would directly become 300% of the original!

Rather than using it on himself, giving it to Qi Yue would have a greater effect.

It just so happens there's now an "Individual Gene Expansion Stone," which can let Qi Yue add one more improvement.

Let's tentatively decide to give it to Qi Yue.

Only the last one remains:

【Gene】Hardened Scale Skin

【Source】Medusa Siren

【Type】Individual Gene

【Cost】18 Improvement Points

【Match】5%

【Effect】Can consume body condition to harden a layer of scale skin on the body's surface to protect the body

Zhao Chi frowned.

He carefully read the detailed explanation.

This one is also a temporary ability.

It likewise requires consuming body condition, producing a natural protective armor like those Naga warriors.

But the specific strength of this scale skin isn't stated.

Zhao Chi could only推测 it should have a decent effect.

After all, it requires a full 18 Improvement Points, and the match rate is only 5%.

This one is very suitable for improving himself.

Anything that can boost survival rate is suitable.

But… it's also suitable for Tang Ruan.

Tang Ruan's constitution is very high, and all the enhancement points added after leveling up also go into defense.

As a result, Tang Ruan's current body strength is very high.

But it's still not high enough.

If this scale skin were added on top, even if Tang Ruan's equipment was destroyed, her body would still have natural protection.

It would let her tank even more.

And the good thing about this improvement is that it's temporary — after battle, Tang Ruan is still soft.

But Tang Ruan already has an individual improvement, so she'd still need an "Individual Gene Expansion Stone."

He didn't know if a Golden Treasure Chest could open one.

He'd try his luck later.

Of the 6 types of genes obtained this time, "Water Affinity" can be temporarily kept.

"Snake Hair" can be directly decomposed.

"Streamlined Body Type" and "Prolific" serve as blanks for data transfer.

"Polymerized Auxiliary Arms" and "Hardened Scale Skin" are suitable to give to Qi Yue and Tang Ruan respectively.

This way, once again there's no improvement left for himself.

And this time there's no improvement for Gu Qing either — he wondered if she'd be envious of them?

Whatever.

Decompose first.

"Snake Hair" decomposes into 7 Improvement Points.

Then transfer!

Transfer the data of "Streamlined Snake Body" to "Polymerized Auxiliary Arms," consuming 3 Improvement Points to provide success rate.

"Polymerized Auxiliary Arms" now costs 3 Improvement Points, match rate 77%

Transfer the data of "Prolific" to "Hardened Scale Skin," consuming 4 Improvement Points to provide success rate.

"Hardened Scale Skin" now costs 1 Improvement Point, match rate 100%

Then decompose the data-transferred "Streamlined Snake Body" and "Prolific."

A total of 18 Improvement Points obtained.

Adding the previous ones, there are now 25 improvement points in total.

Phew~

Zhao Chi let out a breath of relief.

Soaking in this Carefree Spring had actually made him break out in a sweat all over his head.

Zhao Chi closed the system and submerged his entire body into the spring.

The spring water was extremely clear,

but the sky had already grown dark, and the light of the torches alone couldn't reveal the full scenery below.

Still, he could dimly make out pairs of fair, slender legs, and little tufts of dark clouds.

This kind of beautiful scene was actually already a common sight.

But every time he saw it, he still found it a feast for the eyes.

Climbing out of the spring, Zhao Chi returned once more to the Attribute Awakening interface.

With these improvement points, he could transfer the attribute data.

That interface was still paused at the moment right before the data transfer.

【Current data match rate is low; transfer success rate is 9%. Confirm?】

Invest 9 improvement points to raise the data to 99%.

If this still failed, then it simply wasn't meant to be.

Click Confirm.

【Data Transfer Successful】

The first attribute set becomes:

【Attribute】 29 points — Outstanding

【Constitution】 6 — Commendable

【Strength】 6 — Commendable

【Agility】 7 — Extraordinary

【Intelligence】 10 — Pinnacle

No need to say more—click to select.

Suddenly, Zhao Chi felt as though thunder had struck; a burst of noise rang in his ears.

But when he tried to sort it out, it wasn't thunder—every sound around him had simply been amplified.

The sound of the Carefree Spring's water was like ocean waves.

Not far away, the female craftsmen were whispering to each other, but the volume sounded like normal speech, and Zhao Chi could hear every word clearly.

His nose felt very uncomfortable.
