Chapter 952

Gu Qing tidied up the bowls and chopsticks and left.

Tang Ruan and Qi Yue, sensing the mood, left together as well.

Only Zhao Chi and Zhuang Ya remained in the room.

With no other women present, Zhuang Ya relaxed a little.

But compared to when she had just been summoned, the haughtiness about her had faded considerably.

Zhao Chi pointed at the room: "There's not much furniture, just the basics. If there's any furniture you want, you can find the woodworking team leader Li Zhu — they can make any kind of furniture. I'll introduce you two in a bit."

"Oh, it's fine. Simple and plain is just right…"

Zhao Chi took out the Three-Life Stone.

"Like I just said, I'll help you pick a new talent. I can't promise it'll be anything amazing, but it should be a bit stronger than your current one."

Zhuang Ya took it with both hands.

The Three-Life Stone was exquisitely crafted.

It looked like a three-colored work of art.

Zhuang Ya gently stroked the Three-Life Stone: "This Three-Life Stone must be very expensive, right? My talent is actually fine; even if we don't change it, it's okay. I believe that with my ability, I can conquer the four directions using my current talent just the same!"

Zhao Chi smiled and said: "It's fine, it's just an item. If we can get a better talent, it's worth using. A good talent can change you from conquering four directions to conquering ten."

Zhuang Ya nodded and said: "Since you say so, then I won't stand on ceremony."

"Mm, activate it."

Zhuang Ya tapped to activate.

In an instant, three rays of light in different colors scattered outward.

The three-colored light merged into one in the air, then dispersed, like a small rainbow appearing.

The rainbow enveloped Zhuang Ya, and the light was gradually absorbed by her.

Soon, a message came from the system.

【Zhuang Ya is awakening her talent】

【……】

【Talent awakening complete】

Three brand-new talents appeared before them.

The two of them looked carefully together.

【Talent】 Hunger Tolerance

【Grade】 F-Class

【Effect】 Food intake -90%, bodily functions unaffected.

What kind of trash talent is this?

Hunger resistance…

If Zhao Chi had transmigrated here as a beggar, this talent wouldn't be bad.

But right now, there's absolutely no need for it.

Although these women eat six times what an ordinary person does, Zhao Chi can still afford to feed them.

Zhuang Ya frowned: "How can such a talent exist? Is this really what I awakened?"

"Talents awaken randomly. Don't overthink it — let's look at the next one."

The two continued looking at the second one.

【Talent】 Blood Spirit Reversal

【Grade】 E-Class

【Effect】 Can convert life force into 50% spiritual power.

This talent is passable.

Spiritual power can be converted 1:1 into any other bodily state.

But other bodily states cannot be converted into spiritual power.

Being able to convert life force into 50% spiritual power now is somewhat useful.

But it's only good for emergencies.

After all, a mage's life force isn't much to begin with, and converting it to spiritual power still loses 50%, so you can't convert much.

Though you could eat life pills or be healed to restore life force, then convert it into spiritual power.

But it still feels a bit awkward.

And this talent can't grow either.

So this talent is useful, but rather underwhelming.

No wonder it's an E-Class talent.

"My lord, this talent is still acceptable."

"Mm… it's fine, let's look at the third one."

"The third one… doesn't suit me."

"Huh? You've already seen the third one?"

"Yes, the third talent is way too outrageous. I'd rather pick the second one."

"Let me take a look first."

Zhao Chi was very curious about the third talent.

【Talent】 Sadistic Tendency

【Grade】 E-Class, Growable

【Effect】 1. Every time you deal 20% damage to an enemy, increase Morale by 1%, up to a maximum of 30%, lasting 30 minutes.

【Effect】 2. During normal time, Morale decreases by 20%.

What a familiar talent.

Isn't this the opposing version of Tang Ruan's talent?
