Chapter 855: Rapid Development (10)

Zhao Chi took two steps back.

He looked at the ceiling — it was fairly high, so he probably wouldn't bump his head.

He gathered spiritual power once more, choosing to increase his overall weight by 1x.

A flash of spiritual energy shimmered.

Zhao Chi grew larger in equal proportion.

He didn't feel anything special, only that Gu Qing had become shorter, and everything around him had shrunk a little.

Gu Qing, who had previously been almost at eye level with him, now only reached his waist.

Stretching out his hand, he could touch the ceiling.

Lowering his head, he could see Gu Qing's deep cleavage.

Gu Qing tilted her head up to look at Zhao Chi.

"My lord, you must be over 2 meters tall now."

Zhao Chi was under 1.8 meters tall, and his weight was roughly around 60-70 kilograms.

Now that his weight had increased by 1x, that meant roughly 120-140 kilograms.

By proportion, his current height should be around 2.25 meters.

Height and weight are not a linear relationship.

Because height is only height — just one dimension.

While weight is "three-dimensional."

This way of describing it isn't very rigorous, but that's roughly the idea.

After all, increasing weight means the "bone and flesh" on Zhao Chi's body has increased.

Bone and flesh are, of course, three-dimensional objects.

So when weight increases by 100% and the body grows in equal proportion, height only increases by 26%.

Conversely, if height increases by 100% and the body scales up equally, then weight would increase by 700%.

These numbers are very rough.

And not precise at all.

The margin of error will also be large.

But it's easy to understand.

Gu Qing nodded lightly: "I understand, my lord, you don't need to explain so much."

Zhao Chi was a little surprised.

He had thought that a summoned heroine like Gu Qing wouldn't know much about math.

He hadn't expected Gu Qing to actually know.

A cultured heroine?

Not bad.

"I underestimated you."

Zhao Chi said with a smile, but his voice had become a bit deeper.

A little more resonant.

Gu Qing lowered her head slightly: "According to what you said, my lord, this cute little thing has also increased by 100% in weight, so its length has increased by 26%?"

Little thing?

Do you even hear what you're saying?

"You... you really are... but it's not just the length, the radius has also grown by about 26%."

"Radius? Why not just say it got thicker?"

"Mm... that's what it means."

"Hehe, big and thick~"

"... What, want to try it?"

"Hehe, I wouldn't dare, afraid it'll break me."

Though she said so, she still bit her lower lip and gently touched it.

There was even a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

Zhao Chi said: "This skill of mine can also enlarge locally... I can't use too much spiritual power right now, but after this battle is over, I can let you have a taste."

Gu Qing covered her cheeks: "Mm~ then you have to be gentle with me, my lord, let me adjust before you use more force. But Tang Ruan will definitely like it, you can be rougher with her. But Qiyue definitely couldn't take it, you have to be the gentlest with her."

Zhao Chi stroked the top of her head.

Her hair was of good quality — dark and smooth.

"You're quite the scheduler, but right now the most important thing is the upcoming battle. Switch your attention back to business."

"Okay, okay, as you say. I wonder who was the one just now, burying their head and nuzzling between these two of mine."

"..." Zhao Chi was speechless.

"Hehe, my lord, you can take a look at your status first, see if there are any bonuses from the enlargement?"

Seeing Zhao Chi completely at a loss for words, Gu Qing stopped teasing.

She instantly switched her demeanor.

Back to that sharp-minded female military strategist role.

Zhao Chi opened his personal status panel — sure enough, there were quite a few bonuses and penalties.

【Name】 Zhao Chi

【Body】 Weight +100%, Height +26%

【Buff】 Life +100%, Attack +100%, Load-bearing capacity +100%

【Debuff】 Attack Speed -100%, Dodge -100%, Appetite +100% (next meal)

There really are quite a few changes.

Height and weight go without saying — that's the foundation of the Body Magnification Art skill.

The buff stats are very generous, all the way up to 100% — you could say quite lavish.

Life, Attack, and Load-bearing capacity are all extremely useful attributes.

Especially suited for melee combat.

After Tang Ruan and Qi Yue use it, the effects should both be pretty good.

It can let Tang Ruan tank even more.

Qi Yue doesn't have any self-preservation skills, but she's also a melee type.

Now with Life +100%, it can make her combat safer, and Attack +100% also makes her damage more explosive.

But the debuff values are also very high.

Attack Speed slowed by 100%.

That doesn't mean unable to attack — it means the frequency is reduced.

Originally she could hit twice in 1 second; now she can only hit once in 1 second.

After all, the body gets taller and the arms get longer, so the attack path also gets longer — a reduction in attack frequency is only natural.

Besides that, Dodge is also -100%.

That can be understood too.

After all, the body grows so much bigger, enemies can hit more easily, and naturally it's harder to dodge.

Dodge -100% also doesn't mean completely unable to dodge.

It means that where she originally could dodge 2 of an enemy's attacks, now she can only dodge 1.

As for next meal's appetite +100%, that can basically be ignored outright.

But Gu Qing and the others' appetite was already 6 times that of an ordinary person to begin with; after using this skill, next time they'll have to eat 12 times as much.
