Chapter 463: Chapter 319: Female Mage Hero (2)
"Sister Zhuang Ya, close your eyes."
"Okay, thank you, Qi Yue."
"It’s nothing."
Soon, with the help of Tang Ruan and Qi Yue, Zhuang Ya was washed sparkling clean.
Meanwhile, Gu Qing had finished preparing the meal.
Tang Ruan asked, "Lord, should she stay in our room, too?"
Zhao Chi replied, "No, just find a new house for her here in Penglai Village."
Zhuang Ya waved her hands. "Lord, there’s no need to go to such trouble. I can just stay with them. I’m not that particular."
Qi Yue said softly, "Sister Zhuang Ya, all of us live with the Lord. Are you sure you want to join us tonight?"
"Huh?"
Zhuang Ya looked at Qi Yue in surprise, then turned to Tang Ruan.
Tang Ruan nodded as well.
Zhuang Ya then looked at Zhao Chi.
Zhao Chi chuckled. "I don’t mind, but it’s up to you."
Zhuang Ya said sheepishly, "In that case... I think I’ll stay in another house for the time being."
Tang Ruan said, "The one next to us is perfect. It was just built, so it’s brand new."
Qi Yue said, "The one next door? But... we make a lot of noise at night. Won’t we disturb her?"
Tang Ruan nodded. "Oh, that’s right."
Zhuang Ya, not understanding the implication, said, "It’s fine, don’t worry about me. I’m not afraid of noise."
’But it’s not just noise.’
’It’s the sound of passion.’
Qi Yue didn’t know what to say.
Neither did Tang Ruan.
Zhao Chi pointed at the Carefree Spring. "You can hear those women, can’t you?"
Zhuang Ya looked toward the Carefree Spring.
Some women were chatting in the spring, but more were just lying back and moaning softly.
She nodded. "Of course. My hearing is very sensitive."
Zhao Chi said, "The sounds coming from our room at night are a hundred times louder than that."
"What?" Zhuang Ya was stunned. "You have a Carefree Spring in your room that’s a hundred times more comfortable than this one?"
Zhao Chi chuckled. "You’ll have to ask them how comfortable it is, but it’s definitely not a Carefree Spring."
Qi Yue’s cheeks flushed, and she remained silent.
Tang Ruan whispered to Zhao Chi, "It’s very comfortable. The Lord is amazing."
Zhuang Ya finally understood.
"In that case... I’ll go with whatever you arrange..."
In the end, Zhuang Ya chose a new room with a good view.
Before long, dinner was over.
Gu Qing cleared the dishes and left.
Tang Ruan and Qi Yue tactfully left as well.
Only Zhao Chi and Zhuang Ya remained in the room.
With no other women around, Zhuang Ya relaxed a little.
However, the proud air she’d had when she was first summoned had diminished significantly.
Zhao Chi gestured around the room. "The furniture is pretty basic, not much to it. If you want anything specific, you can ask the Woodworker Team Leader, Li Zhu. Her team can make anything. I’ll introduce you two later."
"Oh, that’s alright. Simple is good enough..."
Zhao Chi took out the Three Lives Stone.
"Like I said, I’ll help you pick a new Talent. I can’t guarantee it’ll be amazing, but it should be better than what you have now."
Zhuang Ya accepted it with both hands.
The Three Lives Stone was exquisite.
It looked like a tricolor work of art.
Zhuang Ya gently caressed the Three Lives Stone. "This Three Lives Stone must be very expensive, right? My Talent is actually fine; it’s okay if I don’t change it. I believe that with my abilities, I can conquer the world even with the Talent I have now!"
Zhao Chi smiled. "Don’t worry about it; it’s just an item. If it can get you a better Talent, it’s worth using. A good Talent will let you go from conquering the world to conquering everything beyond it."
Zhuang Ya nodded. "Since you put it that way, I won’t refuse."
"Go on, activate it."
Zhuang Ya activated it.
Instantly, three rays of different colored light scattered.
The three lights merged into one in midair before scattering, forming a small rainbow.
The rainbow enveloped Zhuang Ya, and she gradually absorbed its light.
Soon, a system notification appeared.
[Zhuang Ya is awakening a Talent]
[...]
[Talent awakening complete]
Three brand-new Talents appeared before them.
The two of them examined the options closely.
[Talent]Hunger Tolerance
[Level]F Level
[Effect]Appetite -90%. No negative impact on bodily functions.
’What kind of useless Talent is this?’
’Hunger resistance...’
’If I had transmigrated as a beggar, a Talent like this would have been great.’
’But now, it’s completely unnecessary.’
’Even though these women ate six times as much as an Ordinary person, I can still afford to feed them.’
Zhuang Ya frowned. "How can a Talent like this even exist? Did I really get this?"
"Talents are awakened randomly. Don’t overthink it. Let’s look at the next one."
They moved on to the second option.
[Talent]Blood Spirit Reversal
[Level]E Level
[Effect]Can convert Life into 50% Spiritual Power.
’This Talent is barely usable.’
’Spiritual Power can be converted to any other bodily state at a 1:1 ratio.’
’But no other bodily state can be converted into Spiritual Power.’
’The ability to convert Life into Spiritual Power, even at a 50% return, has its uses.’
’But it’s only for emergencies.’
’After all, a Mage doesn’t have much Life to begin with, and with a 50% Loss on conversion to Spiritual Power, you can’t get much out of it.’
’Although, you could use it by eating a Life Pill or receiving Treatment to recover Life, and then converting that into Spiritual Power.’
’But the whole process feels clunky.’
’Plus, this Talent can’t be upgraded.’
’So the Talent is useful, but it’s pretty underwhelming.’
’No wonder it’s an E Level Talent.’
"Lord, this Talent is acceptable."
"Hmm... It’s fine. Let’s look at the third one."
"The third one... is not for me."
"Huh? You’ve already seen the third one?"
"Yes. The third Talent is too ridiculous. I’d rather choose the second one."
"Let me see."
Zhao Chi was curious about the third Talent.
[Talent]Sadistic Tendencies
[Level]E Level (Upgradable)
[Effect]1. For every 20% Damage dealt to an enemy, increase Morale by 1%. This effect stacks up to 30% and has a Duration of 30 minutes.
[Effect]2. Outside of combat, Morale is reduced by 20%.
’This Talent seems so familiar.’
’Isn’t this the opposite of Tang Ruan’s Talent?’
