Were Cheats Being Handed Out Wholesale?
Su Luo rubbed her head:
"I've finished recording. You can rest for a bit while I organize my notes."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and sank his consciousness into his own Dream World to exchange and verify data with Xiao Luo.
A few breaths later, Su Luo's consciousness returned to reality. He twitched his fingertips slightly, and his Divine Power, like threads, imprinted the data onto a piece of paper he had casually crumpled, and handed it to Song Shige, who had already fallen asleep instantly.
Disqualification did not prevent sleep.
"Here, this is the preliminary analysis. It includes key parameters such as [Blood City]'s current energy threshold, range of action, and intensity of willpower interference, as well as some suggestions for Optimization its energy structure and allocating willpower consumption."
Su Luo spoke calmly, "You could consider learning some blue skills from other systems, especially those involving emotional guidance, willpower concentration, or large-scale energy field control. I feel that Purple Skills have very unique growth potential and may require a broader foundation to support their Evolution..."
After speaking, Su Luo pondered for a moment, and then a white light flashed continuously in his hand, forming a seemingly ordinary Skill Book in his palm.
[Emotion Manipulation Method (Blue)]
[Level 5]
"This is a skill I extracted from my system. I deliberately lowered its level cap, only providing a preliminary direction and framework, but it fits your [Blood City] development path very well. Try it out first, and we'll observe its synergistic effects when your [Blood City] upgrades next time."
For the past ten hours, Su Luo had been recording and studying [Blood City]. He not only gained a clearer understanding of why skills such as [Black Flame Domain] could not break through to the purple quality, but also gained a much deeper understanding of the Essence of the unique power of "Martial Will".
He realized that the Purple Skill was less of a "skill" and more of a "characteristic" endowed with an initial form and infinite possibilities by the system. It was extremely special, containing power and a highly inclusive framework for change.
"No wonder there are no Skill Books; the skill itself is dynamic and its content is not fixed... So what effect will my job skill have when I use it?"
In other words, starting with Purple Skills, the system has removed the convenient upgrade path of "skill experience".
The path Future can no longer be broadened by simply "imparting" massive amounts of resources. Those who possess these resources must rely on their own understanding, practice, and system expansion to cultivate and strengthen them step by step, forging their own unique path.
"Although one of the conventional channels for skill upgrades has been eliminated," Song Shige said, looking utterly dejected, carefully examining the data and Skill Book Su Luo handed him, his eyes gleaming, "This is truly good news. It means that top-tier power cannot be easily Copy, and greater emphasis is placed on the individual and the chosen path."
"More good news..." Su Luo smiled, then said seriously, "However, from a macro perspective, this is indeed a crucial turning point. From now on, in addition to their initial Talents and trial classes, Survivors will truly possess 'uniqueness' based on their own understanding and choices."
"Each person's Purple Skill will be unique, fundamentally changing the system's development path. Our identities may also have undergone some implicit changes as a result, which should be a positive development."
Song Shige was still pondering Su Luo's earlier words. "Learning other blue skills might expand the system... Is it possible that the Purple Skills given by the system are merely highly condensed 'seeds' or 'prototypes,' and the subsequent skill forms, development directions, and even additional effects are all filled in and determined by ourselves? It's a bit like 'supernatural Divine Ability's in fantasy works."
"And 'traits'... traits, I used to think they were system-given bonuses like Titles. Turns out they refer to Purple Skills. Are all Purple Skills traits?"
"It's very possible. Do you want to try again?"
"Forget it, I'm going back to sleep. After I'm asleep, I'm going to chop someone up."
Song Shige hadn't needed sleep for a long time, wanted to go back to sleep. He felt that his brain was still reeling from the previous skill demonstration, as he followed the Zhanmadao strikes, and the Purple Skill was consuming everything in every way.
"Alright, go back and rest first. I'll come back to study the mobile engine in your Sanctuary later. By the way, how long does the [Exploration Quest] take?"
"I've been working on it for four and a half days, and that's only if I can travel quickly while ignoring most of the environment... You've already wasted a few days, so you definitely won't be able to get Purple Skill before the next District War. Let's work on other things first."
"That's not necessarily true. Goodbye." Su Luo went into her Laboratory.
"Goodbye." Song Shige left, his face pale.
After entering the Laboratory, Su Luo did not immediately begin new research. He sat quietly for a while, brewed a cup of Focus-Calming Tea, and slowly sipped it.
At the same time, I retrieved the massive amounts of computational data that Xiao Luo had previously transmitted to me, data that had been temporarily shelved and required more than ten hours to understand and digest, and then sorted and absorbed it out for the final time.
While he was recording and analyzing the Purple Skill data, he had already been distracted by simultaneously processing this long-accumulated calculation task.
The part about multitasking.
Your "Heart Fiend Body Tempering Technique" has been upgraded!
Your "Heart Fiend Body Tempering Technique—Disassembly Type 1" has been upgraded!
[Constitution: 19.0 (↑1.2)]
[Strength: 17.5 (↑0.8)]
Improving Constitution Attributes is always accompanied by complex issues of physical adaptability. Su Luo sighed, lay down on the experimental table, and began to modify her body.
Some of the organs and tissues that Su Luo added herself couldn't keep up with the enhancement of her Constitution Attributes, and even with the protection of Heart Fiend Blood Qi and Natural Elements, they would still malfunction.
"Um... while you're at it, let's add the insect's Mana- sensing organs too. Let me see how."
The sudden commotion in the [World Channel] was like a surging tide in a scenic area, knocking over a large group of fools and instantly obscuring Han Song's vision.
[The people in our district were like water scooped up in your hands, they all slipped away in a flash, haha, they died so quickly.]
I picked up an item on the roadside without any details. It was labeled [(Special)(Normal)] and automatically bound to me. Has anyone seen this before?
[I've seen it. The other day, one of my men gambled out a jade Buddha from the Wishing Well. It was the same thing, and we couldn't even recycle it. Apparently, it can be upgraded. You could give it a try.]
[What do you mean, "picked up on the roadside"? Did you kill someone on the roadside and pick them up from their corpse? You're making it sound so nice.]
[Layton: We have one in our district too, it appeared about a week ago, a stone platform. It can indeed be upgraded, and it's currently at [Fine] quality. It's a good item; it can produce rare resources that increase your Mana cap.]
[Ye Fan: What a coincidence, I have one too. It's currently of excellent quality and it's really useful.]
[What a coincidence? You have it too...]
Han Song had just picked up a small box full of supplies to be sorted when he saw this, and his movements suddenly stopped, the box falling back to its original place with a "clatter".
His eyes widened as he incredulously scanned the screen for the explosive surge of discussions about [special items].
"Holy crap! It's a wholesale hanger?"
