Chapter 852

A bit of a pity.

Moon-Glow Stone is a mid-to-high-grade material with quite a few uses.

First, it can be used as a building material to construct stone houses.

Or to make various stone furniture.

For example, stone beds, stone tables.

But surely no one would use such a high-grade material just to make houses and furniture, right?

Unless they're nobility.

Additionally, stonemasons can use this Moon-Glow Stone for carving, sculpting all kinds of statues with different bonuses.

But it requires a sculpting blueprint to use, so it's unusable for now.

Although Zhao Chi was a little disappointed, this Moon-Glow Stone was indeed a good thing.

Stockpile it for now.

【Please select a placement location】

Five hundred units of stone material is quite a lot, so Zhao Chi chose the Penglai Village warehouse.

Then next, the second draw.

Not hoping to get an S+ tier reward.

But hoping for a useful item, not materials or supplies…

The light shone once more.

One hundred cards waited quietly to be chosen.

This time, Zhao Chi chose the first card.

【You have selected Card No. 1. Confirm?】

Confirm.

The light gathered once again.

【You have obtained S+ tiered prize: Multiplication Art Skill Book ×1】

It's a skill book!

Not bad either.

And just from the skill book's name, one can guess its effect — it must be able to enlarge things.

Zhao Chi took it out to check, but couldn't see any detailed information.

He could only know after using it.

He hesitated slightly, needing to think about who it would be most suitable for.

He didn't know yet whether this skill could only be used on himself, or if it could be used on allies.

If it could be used on allies, that would be convenient.

Zhao Chi would just learn it himself.

If it could only be used on himself…

Then giving it to Qi Yue would be good.

On the battlefield, Qi Yue could directly enlarge herself, then charge into the enemy ranks swinging three greatswords.

That would truly be slaying gods when gods block, slaying buddhas when buddhas block.

What about giving it to Tang Ruan?

Not very suitable.

After all, Tang Ruan's main role is defense.

After her body enlarges, it's equivalent to making her a bigger target for enemies, which would cause her to take more damage.

Although when she's hit, it would activate her talent effect, boosting her morale.

But he still needed to try to minimize the damage she takes from enemies.

What about giving it to Gu Qing?

The effect might not be obvious either.

Gu Qing mainly spits silk and heals.

And uses some other spiritual techniques to assist in combat.

However, Gu Qing has the highest stats and decent combat ability.

But in the end, it still falls a bit short.

Then give it to Qi Yue?

However, if it really can only be used on himself, Zhao Chi learning it would also be good.

He can burrow into their bodies, so when the time comes, it's equivalent to anyone being able to use it.

Then he'll learn it himself!

Zhao Chi no longer hesitated, directly clicking to let himself learn it.

Light emerged, surrounding Zhao Chi.

【Congratulations, you have learned "Multiplication Art"】

(Multiplication Art: Intermediate single-target enhancement spiritual technique. Can increase the target's weight while proportionally increasing volume. Consumes different amounts of spiritual power based on the target's weight and enhancement multiplier. Maximum weight increase of 100%, lasting 10 minutes.)

An intermediate spiritual technique?

He can learn intermediate spiritual techniques now?

Oh… right, it's already October, a new month.

With the new month beginning, his abilities would all be adjusted accordingly.

He hasn't checked his personal evaluation yet, but he should have already advanced in tier.

Let me try this skill first, then continue reading the monthly report later.

This Weight Multiplication Art is quite flexible.

As expected of an intermediate spiritual technique.

Let's try it now.

Spiritual power gathering.

Some new prompts appeared before Zhao Chi's eyes.

【Wooden Table: Cannot be used】

【Blanket: Cannot be used】

【Gu Qing: Can be used】

【Zhao Chi: Can be used】

It seems the target must be a living being.

Zhao Chi selected Gu Qing.

As Zhao Chi's gaze shifted, information kept surfacing and vanishing across Gu Qing's body.

Zhao Chi quickly found the pattern.

【Gu Qing's whole body: Weight increased by 1x, costs 30 points of spiritual power】

【Gu Qing's arm: Weight increased by 1x, costs 10 points of spiritual power】

【Gu Qing's palm: Weight increased by 1x, costs 5 points of spiritual power】

Broadly speaking, it divides into 3 tiers.

Enhancing the whole body costs the most, requiring 30 points of spiritual power.

Then come the larger parts, such as both arms, both legs, and both chests, requiring 10 points of spiritual power.

The lowest cost is for localized parts, such as hands, feet, ears, etc., requiring only 5 points of spiritual power.

And the duration is always 10 minutes.

Of course, this is the cost for increasing weight by 1x.

If the weight increase is less, the spiritual power consumed is also less.

Let's try different conversion multipliers:

【Gu Qing's whole body: Weight increased by 0.1x, costs 3 points of spiritual power】

【Gu Qing's whole body: Weight increased by 0.5x, costs 15 points of spiritual power】

【Gu Qing's whole body: Weight increased by 1x, costs 30 points of spiritual power】

Spiritual power consumption and weight increase are positively correlated.
