Chapter 464: Chapter 320: Mage Female Hero (3)
Talents did indeed appear randomly, but they also seemed to have some connection to the person.
Zhuang Ya looked normal now, but Zhao Chi still remembered the look in her eyes from the moment he chose her.
Cold, emotionless.
’This Talent might just suit her.’
"Lord, why are you looking at me like that?"
"...I think this Talent is a good fit for you. For every enemy you kill, your Morale will increase by 5%, which directly translates to a 5% boost in combat efficiency."
"Don’t be ridiculous. How could a Talent like that possibly suit me?"
Zhuang Ya was very resistant to the Talent.
Zhao Chi asked, "Is it because of the Talent’s name?"
Zhuang Ya frowned. "It’s more than that. If I choose this Talent, I’ll have to constantly be dealing damage to enemies, or my Morale will drop by 20%. Won’t I be depressed all the time?"
Zhao Chi smiled. "So, you’re just concerned about the Talent’s Negative Effect?"
"...Not entirely, but it’s certainly the most important reason."
Zhao Chi nodded. "Understood. So if I get rid of the Negative Effect and swap in a positive one, that would be fine, right?"
Zhuang Ya frowned, then reminded him, "Respected Lord, this is a Talent. It can’t be changed."
Zhao Chi said no more.
He directly activated Transplantation.
The first Talent was useless, so he discarded it immediately.
He transferred the Effect of the second Talent onto the second Effect of ’Sadistic Tendencies’.
He clicked confirm.
[Data compatibility is moderate. Transfer success rate: 68%. Are you sure?]
’Only 7 Genetic Improvement Points left. I’m running low again.’
’I’ll ask Zhao Cang later if he has any more Racial Improvement Books for sale.’
He spent 3 Genetic Points and clicked confirm.
[Data transfer successful.]
"Zhuang Ya, take another look at this third Talent."
"Didn’t I already look...? Huh? It changed? When did it change? How did you do that!?"
[Talent] Sadistic Tendencies
[Level] C Level (Upgradeable)
[Effect 1] For every 20% damage dealt to an enemy, Morale increases by 1%. This effect can stack up to a 30% increase and lasts for 30 minutes.
[Effect 2] Can convert Life into Spiritual Power at a 50% rate.
’What... what just happened?’
Zhuang Ya stared at Zhao Chi, completely stunned.
Zhao Chi gave her a friendly smile.
Zhuang Ya gulped. ’He can even change a Talent’s Effects?’
’After the change, this Talent no longer has any downsides. Both Effects are positive.’
’Plus, the Talent Level has become C Level, and it’s still upgradeable.’
’Does that mean the second Effect can be upgraded, too?’
’No, that’s not the point!’
’The point is, why does this Minor Lord of mine have an Ability like this?’
’It’s too incredible!’
’No, it’s not just incredible... It’s a world-shattering Ability.’
’He’s too powerful...’
[Your subordinate, Zhuang Ya, has had her Loyalty increase to 6: Genuine Allegiance.]
Seeing the system notification, Zhao Chi was a little surprised.
’My Loyalty with her increased?’
’Was it because I used the Three Lives Stone on her?’
’It couldn’t be because I can transfer data, could it?’
Zhuang Ya was still staring intently at Zhao Chi.
Zhao Chi chuckled. "Now it’s my turn to ask you: why are you staring at me like that? Is the Talent acceptable now?"
Zhuang Ya nodded obediently. "Of course, the Effects are fine. It’s a C Level Talent, and it’s upgradeable, so it’s bound to get stronger. But... the name is a little misleading."
Zhao Chi laughed. "Don’t worry about the name. All of our Talents have strange names."
"Oh, is that so? Then it’s fine."
Zhuang Ya accepted it.
The Talent replacement was complete.
"Next, let’s allocate your points. Let me see how many Enhancement Points and Skill Points you have to add..."
Zhuang Ya was a new Hero.
And a Level 20 Middle Level Hero, at that.
[Hero] Zhuang Ya
[Enhancement Points] 35
[Hero Points] 90
She had a total of 35 Enhancement Points: 20 from her Level, and 15 from achieving the Junior Hero and Middle Level Hero tiers.
She had 90 Hero Points, which included the 10 points for promoting to Middle Level Hero. ’Looks like the threshold for Middle Level Hero is 80 points,’ Zhao Chi thought.
’Right now, I and Gu Qing are both at 100 points, which is higher.’
"Zhuang Ya, do you have any thoughts?"
Zhuang Ya nodded. "Of course. Will you listen to me?"
Zhao Chi smiled. "Of course I’ll respect your wishes. We can discuss anything."
Zhuang Ya blurted out, "Really? Then I want to put all my Enhancement Points into Spiritual Power and all my Hero Points into Spiritual Pressure."
Zhao Chi nodded. "Trying to specialize your Profession’s Abilities? Not bad! But a Middle Level Hero can only put a maximum of 50 points into a single Attribute. So, you can add 50 to Spiritual Pressure, but you’ll have 40 points left to put somewhere else."
Zhuang Ya froze.
Then she said awkwardly, "I... of course I knew that. I just forgot for a second."
Zhao Chi nodded. "Of course you did. You’re so outstanding, you must know a great deal."
Zhuang Ya didn’t expect to be praised for something like that.
She couldn’t help but laugh. "Oh? Really? Haha."
"Of course you are!" Zhao Chi said decisively. "I suggest you put 20 of the remaining points into Government Affairs, which will make your Equipment Attributes stronger and keep you safer. Put the other 20 into Commander. That way, if you learn any Range Skills, you’ll be able to attack more enemies."
Zhuang Ya nodded in satisfaction. "Okay, I agree!"
"Alright, go ahead and allocate the points."
Zhuang Ya waved her hand. "No need. You can do it for me."
Zhao Chi smiled, and the point allocation was complete.
[Hero] Zhuang Ya
[Enhancement] Spiritual Power +280%
[Attribute] Spiritual Power: 608
[Commander] 20
[Martial Arts] 0
[Spiritual Pressure] 50
[Government Affairs] 20
Zhuang Ya’s Intelligence was 8, giving her a Basic Spiritual Power of 160. After the Enhancement, it shot up to 608.
She could now use her Spiritual Techniques many times in a row.
Zhao Chi looked at the only Spiritual Technique she knew.
[Fireball Technique] A Basic Fire Spiritual Technique. Consumes 10 Spiritual Power to gather a Fireball with 25 Attack Power. On a successful hit, there is a 5% chance to burn the target and a 2% chance to melt their Armor.
