Chapter 294: Chapter 261: Metamorphosis (Part 6)
Zhao Chi touched Qi Yue’s arm.
"Qi Yue, is there any Consumption for your Aggregation Arm? I saw in the Gene Description that it requires consuming your body’s State."
"Yes, there is. It consumed 30 points of Energy."
’Energy again.’
"Is there a duration limit?"
"Let me see... No. As long as I don’t deactivate it, it should stay active indefinitely."
’That’s pretty good.’
But there was one more thing to test.
"Qi Yue, I’m going to make a few small cuts on your arms. Then, I want you to retract them and summon them again. We need to see if summoning them again will heal any injuries."
"Oh, okay. Go ahead, my lord."
Qi Yue extended all four of her arms toward him.
The sight was still a bit unsettling.
Or rather, it evoked a slight sense of fear.
If Qi Yue wasn’t so beautiful, Zhao Chi would have been truly put off by it.
But Qi Yue was very obedient.
Besides, Zhao Chi had already gotten to know her completely, inside and out, that afternoon, so he didn’t feel any major aversion to it now.
With a flash of the blade.
A cut appeared on each of Qi Yue’s four arms.
She didn’t make a sound, cooperating completely.
His heart ached a little for her. "That hurts, doesn’t it? We’ll only do this test once. It’s mainly to better understand your new Gene."
Qi Yue smiled sweetly. "I understand. You don’t need to explain, my lord. Should I retract these two arms now?"
"Yes. Retract them, then summon them again."
"Okay~"
Retracting her arms also proved to be a bit difficult.
Fortunately, she didn’t have Gu Qing’s and Tang Ruan’s Recovery Ability, so the wounds healed very slowly. A little delay wouldn’t be a problem.
Then suddenly, with a SWOOSH, Qi Yue’s arms instantly disappeared.
Zhao Chi quickly moved closer to observe.
He found no scars or holes on her torso where the arms had emerged.
Her skin was perfectly intact and had suffered no Destruction.
He felt it gently. It was as soft and smooth as before.
It was as if those two arms had grown out of thin air.
He then looked at her original arms; the wounds were still there.
"Alright, summon them again."
"Mm, okay!"
Zhao Chi took half a step back, afraid of being slapped by her again.
Qi Yue was also deliberately controlling them. This time, her arms didn’t pop out to the sides but stretched out vertically upwards.
It was like she was stretching.
The movement made it look like she was showing off her figure.
"My lord, look, the wounds are still here."
Qi Yue extended all four of her arms toward him.
The wounds from before hadn’t disappeared or healed at all.
Just like Tang Ruan’s Skin Armor, Qi Yue’s arms remained in the same condition after being retracted and summoned again as they were before.
At this point, the test was more or less complete.
"Alright, Qi Yue, go have Gu Qing treat you. And give the others a scare while you’re at it."
Qi Yue laughed when she heard that.
"Okay, hehe, I’ll let Tang Ruan see first. She’ll definitely be surprised."
"Haha, go on."
Qi Yue walked away happily.
Zhao Chi opened the system to inspect his current gains.
First, there was Zhao Chi himself.
His Attributes had been updated. His Constitution and Power were both at 6 points, which was the Level of a Beastman and also the default Level for the Peach Blossom Human Race.
His agility was 7 points, one Level lower than Qi Yue, and the same as Gu Qing.
His Intelligence was 10 points, far exceeding an ordinary person, and was also three tiers higher than Gu Qing’s 7 points of Intelligence.
Most importantly, his Hidden Talent had been Promoted. It was now [True Transplantation] and could transfer his own data.
Basic Attributes, Hero Attributes, all kinds of Skills, and Enhancement Points could all be transferred.
However, it cost Racial Improvement Points.
’Looks like I’ll have to buy a lot of Racial Improvement Books in the future.’
Next was Tang Ruan.
She had gained the personal Gene, Hardened Scale Skin.
It could harden her skin into a white jade-like Skin Armor. Its Durability was lower than Iron Armor but higher than Leather Armor.
Its Defense was also between that of Iron Armor and Leather Armor.
But since this Skin Armor was considered her skin, it also benefited from the Effect of Super-speed Self-Healing.
In other words, her white jade-like Skin Armor could also continuously restore its Durability at a rate of 1% per second.
This was extremely powerful.
It was a perfect fit for Tang Ruan.
Finally, there was Qi Yue.
Her Aggregation Arm Gene allowed her to create a pair of secondary arms.
However, the secondary arms were as strong as her main arms, with no weakening whatsoever.
Moreover, the Race Improvement, Soft Body, made her four arms even more flexible, allowing her to move them freely at any angle.
She could even execute movements that bent her joints in unnatural ways.
This was already more flexible than the four arms of a Medusa or a Naga.
Qi Yue’s Talent, Exclusive Ripping, originally accumulated more Damage the longer she fought. Now, with four arms, her number of Attacks was instantly doubled.
Against powerful, single enemies, Qi Yue’s damage output would be unparalleled.
However, she had no Defense or survival-type Abilities, so she absolutely had to carry a Shield.
’I’ll have her hold a Shield in one hand and wield blades in the other three.’
’In that case, Qi Yue will become a three-sword style Female Hero.’
’Not bad at all.’
In a matter of tens of minutes, the strength of Zhao Chi’s faction had risen once again.
Now only the last Treasure Chest was left.
The Self-Selected Super-Improved Fashion Blueprint Treasure Chest.
This Treasure Chest was silver, and its appearance wasn’t as exquisite as a Golden Treasure Chest.
But Zhao Chi was very much looking forward to this Treasure Chest.
After all, if he got a suitable Female’s Fashion from it, it would increase the strength of all the female villagers.
It would be an increase in their overall strength.
Zhao Chi sat down on the wooden chair.
He tapped it open.
A brilliant light erupted.
It wasn’t as dazzling as the light from a Golden Treasure Chest, but it was still impossible to look at directly.
Three types of Blueprints appeared before him.
[Please select one.]
’Why are there only three options?’
Zhao Chi quickly looked through them, but there were indeed only three options.
