Chapter 288: Chapter 258: Metamorphosis (Part 3)
Zhao Chi was already very familiar with Gu Qing’s body.
But as she pressed against him this time, a shiver ran through Zhao Chi’s entire body.
’Was her skin always this silky smooth?’
’It’s even more delicate and warm than before!’
Zhao Chi felt like a newborn, experiencing the world for the first time.
’So people with high Intelligence really do experience the world differently.’
Zhao Chi gently caressed Gu Qing’s smooth, velvety back.
Gu Qing giggled. "My Lord, what’s gotten into you? Are you tired from the battle? Let me keep you company tonight?"
Zhao Chi nodded emphatically.
Gu Qing looked down in astonishment.
"My Lord, what...? You want to... right now? Should I go with you then?"
Zhao Chi shook his head. "No need. You guys should use this time to review the details of the battle. It’s the perfect opportunity."
Gu Qing said, "That’s okay. Can you bear it? You look like you’re about to explode."
Zhao Chi said, "Then hurry up and go. We’ll meet in the room in a bit."
"Okay!" Gu Qing gave him a soft kiss and let go of Zhao Chi. "See you in a bit~"
Gu Qing left.
Zhao Chi felt a little empty.
’This is no time to be thinking about that. Time to open more Treasure Chests!’
He took out the last Golden Treasure Chest.
’I’m not expecting a Racial Bloodline this time, but I’ll be happy as long as it’s not another Potion or something.’
Zhao Chi felt a little apprehensive.
With a light push of his finger, he opened it!
A bright light flashed, and Zhao Chi closed his eyes.
’Come on!’
[You have obtained item: Talent Advancement Stone x1]
’Phew, that’s a relief...’
’I can tell it’s a useful item just from the name.’
It was a pure white stone that looked like a snowball and felt cool to the touch.
Zhao Chi checked the details.
[Item] Talent Advancement Stone
[Effect] Allows a Talent to be forcibly advanced by one level.
’This is great.’
Right now, Gu Qing’s Talent, `Spider Lady Silk Gland`, and Tang Ruan’s Talent, `Masochistic Hobby`, had both been advanced, but Qi Yue’s `Exclusive Ripping` had not.
If Qi Yue’s Talent were to advance, she would become unbelievably powerful.
However, Qi Yue was already plenty strong. The ones who needed strengthening now were Gu Qing and Zhao Chi.
Especially Zhao Chi himself.
His Talent was `Female Tutor`. Its Effect wasn’t overwhelmingly powerful, but it was still good.
If he enhanced it, he could make his women even stronger.
’Then I’ll enhance my own Talent!’
He selected ’Use’.
The white stone cracked open, and a brilliant, rainbow-colored light burst from within.
The light swirled around Zhao Chi, enveloping his body as if he were shrouded in a rainbow.
[Select the Talent to enhance]
[0. Transplantation]
[1. Female Tutor]
’Wait, what the...?’
Zhao Chi froze, stunned.
’Why is there a hidden option numbered 0?’
’Transplantation can be enhanced too!?’
Zhao Chi shot to his feet in the hot spring.
The female villagers bathing nearby had been watching the rainbow-colored light around Zhao Chi. They all jumped in fright when he suddenly shot to his feet.
Pairs of "bunnies" bobbed and swayed.
Zhao Chi was in no mood to enjoy the view; his attention was completely focused on the options before him.
’Of course I’m going to choose the hidden option.’
’Transplantation is already powerful enough. I wonder how much stronger it’ll get after an advancement?’
[You have selected ’0. Transplantation’. Confirm?]
Zhao Chi impatiently tapped [Confirm!]
The rainbow-colored light around him contracted, seeping entirely into Zhao Chi’s body.
[Advancement successful!]
Zhao Chi immediately opened the system.
He opened his personal interface.
He navigated to the details page for his Hidden Talent.
[Talent] True Transplantation
[Level] S+ Level Hidden
[Effect] Can transfer certain data; can transfer your own data.
’Badass!’
’It went from `Transplantation` to `True Transplantation`. Tacky name or not, at least it sounds a lot more impressive.’
’But the Level is still S+ Level.’
’Perhaps the gap between different tiers within S+ Level is even greater than the gap between E Level and S-class.’
The Effect gained an extra clause: [Can transfer your own data].
The explanation for the Hidden Talent was too abstract.
Zhao Chi tried to find a detailed explanation, but the Hidden Talent didn’t have one. He would have to figure it out for himself.
’Well then, I should be able to test it on my personal interface.’
He opened his personal interface:
[Name] Zhao Chi
[Gender] Male
[Level] Level 13
[Race] Human
[Age] 20
[Identity] Civilian
[Profession] Junior Lord
[Position] Village Chief

[Ability] Swordsmanship 11, Shield Skill 10, Sewing 41

[Companions] Gu Qing, Tang Ruan, Qi Yue
Most of the information he could transfer had to be on this screen.
First off, things like Level, Age, and Race couldn’t be transferred.
If he had another set of data, he might be able to transfer it. But since this was Zhao Chi transferring his own data to himself, he could only look further down the list.
’What about `Appearance`...?’
Zhao Chi casually tapped on it.
[Current data meets the conditions for `True Transplantation`. Transfer information?]
’It actually works?’
Zhao Chi was pleasantly surprised.
He quickly tapped [Yes].
[Please select a target for the transfer.]
At that moment, his four Basic Attributes all lit up.
Zhao Chi attempted to transfer the 10 points from Intelligence to his 5 points in Appearance.
’If the transfer is successful, my Appearance will become 10 and my Intelligence will become 5.’
[This data transfer will consume 5 Improvement Points. Are you sure?]
This prompt was different from the last one.
This time, there was no success rate. Instead, there was a clear cost in Improvement Points.
Zhao Chi tapped [No].
