Zhan Lan's Bloodline Enhancement

Uchiha Gen's reason for not letting Zheng Zha exchange for a Green Goblin Glider was the same as why he had not let him exchange for the Eight Gates or Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

There was no need to waste points!

If nothing unexpected happened, Chu Xuan would enter the Main God Space in the next scenario.

If they wanted a Green Goblin Glider, they could just buy some materials and technical blueprints later and have Chu Xuan make one.

Making it themselves would save at least seventy or eighty percent of the cost compared to exchanging for one from the Main God.

Under such circumstances, it was only natural to use Reward Points and Side Missions to exchange for things that were more useful at their current stage.

For example, the Telekinesis Uchiha Gen had chosen for Zheng Zha!

"Then I'll go enhance myself."

Zheng Zha confirmed it with Uchiha Gen.

He was afraid Uchiha Gen might suddenly come up with a better exchange option after he had already spent his Reward Points.

"Go on, go on."

Uchiha Gen said with a smile.

Then Zheng Zha rose into the air and began receiving his Telekinesis enhancement from the Main God.

Some time later, Zheng Zha's enhancement was complete.

He slowly descended from midair, but his feet did not touch the ground. Instead, he hovered three inches above it.

An invisible force rippled around Zheng Zha's body, supporting him in the air.

This was Telekinesis—spiritual power made tangible, granting the ability to interfere with the material world according to one's will.

At that moment, Zheng Zha was like a child who had just received a new toy. He turned his attention to the table where everyone had eaten earlier, intending to use Telekinesis to lift it.

But he failed to control the force properly and flipped the table over outright, scattering leftover shrimp shells, bones, and other kitchen waste all over the ground.

"It feels very unfamiliar, like I've suddenly grown a new limb. Compared to my original organs, it's awkward and unnatural to control."

Zheng Zha muttered as he opened his Gene Lock.

His eyes became vacant. Then, the table Zheng Zha had overturned with his Telekinesis returned to its original position, while the scattered kitchen waste gathered itself and went back into the garbage bag.

At this point, Zheng Zha was finally able to use his Telekinesis as easily as an arm or finger.

After finishing all that, Zheng Zha had the Main God clean up the Main God Plaza. Then he stood there blankly for a while before exiting the Gene Lock state.

Sweat beaded on his forehead as he silently endured the backlash from the Gene Lock.

Facing the curious looks of his two teammates, Zheng Zha smiled and spoke of his changes. "Because of the Telekinesis enhancement, my Mental Power has increased significantly. I just tried refining Chakra and found that my Chakra reserves have increased tenfold."

"Because of the Troll Bloodline, I can extract Chakra from my body's cells without restraint. My actual usable Chakra is even greater, and I can maintain peak condition for prolonged combat."

"Besides that, it's also feasible to augment taijutsu with Telekinesis. The power and speed of every movement I make have increased dramatically. By the ninja strength standards A-Gen mentioned before, I'm already a Taijutsu Jonin."

"And as I further develop my Telekinesis and train my body, there's still plenty of room for my strength to improve."

Hearing this, Uchiha Gen nodded. "Perfect. Zheng Zha, you still have around two thousand Reward Points left. Once we've all finished our exchanges, we can return to the Resident Evil World to train for a while."

At that moment, Zheng Zha also exchanged for the Yu Tian Ring and the Pulse King.

He nodded in agreement with Uchiha Gen's training proposal, then said with a smile, "Want to test the equipment first?"

Uchiha Gen shook his head. "No rush. Let's finish exchanging first. We'll conduct the tests together at my place afterward."

As he spoke, Uchiha Gen turned his gaze toward Zhan Lan. "Sister Lan, you don't really have much room for choice with your exchanges. You should definitely prioritize skills needed for Perception support. You can exchange for this Mind Link."

"It requires one Rank B Side-Story Mission and Five Thousand Reward Points. It links your mind with others, allowing you to transmit the information you see to them. It can also control beings with weaker minds."

"This skill pairs with Mental Scan. Once you have it, we can communicate battlefield information in real time and efficiently. We won't have to rely on shouting out what you see through Mental Scan like when we went back to the Resident Evil World for score grinding."

At that moment, Zhan Lan found the Mind Link skill on the Main God List.

She found that Uchiha Gen was right. This was indeed the skill most suitable for her and the most useful to the current team.

Once Uchiha Gen saw that Zhan Lan had finished reviewing it, he continued:

"Sister Lan, you have one Rank B Side-Story Mission left, and you have two options. One is to exchange for defensive equipment, such as the Yu Tian Ring."

"The other is to exchange for a sturdier bloodline, preferably one that can also boost Mental Strength to some degree. Both options are meant to improve your survivability."

"As support, you need sufficient survivability in order to perform your role consistently."

Although Zheng Zha had already exchanged for a Yu Tian Ring, one could never have too much defensive equipment. Ideally, every member of the Central Continent Team would have one.

As for excessive armor being detrimental to opening the Gene Lock, surviving came first. Future development could be discussed afterward.

At worst, they could take the shortcut and use pills all the way to unlock the Fourth Stage.

Zhan Lan considered for a moment before saying, "I'll exchange for a bloodline instead."

"I also looked at the Main God's description of the Yu Tian Ring just now. It requires quite a lot of energy to activate. My Mental Power and Chakra are both still too weak to sustain the consumption of a magical artifact, so exchanging for a bloodline would be more suitable."

In truth, Zhan Lan's concern was not much of a problem. The Main God could replenish a magical artifact's energy for them.

But since she wanted to exchange for a bloodline, Uchiha Gen did not object and offered his professional advice:

"Sister Lan, search for Mutant—White Queen Mutant Bloodline. This bloodline enhancement comes from the X-Men comics. It requires one Rank B Side-Story Mission and Five Thousand Reward Points, perfectly meeting the requirements of being sturdy while also boosting Mental Power."

"After enhancement, it slightly improves your physical attributes while greatly increasing your Mental Power. It also grants talents related to Mental Power skills, allowing you to make better use of the Mental Power skills you possess."

"Besides that, you can also switch into Diamond Form. In this form, your body becomes as hard as diamond, greatly increasing your physical defense and close-combat ability, but you will be unable to use mental abilities."

"However, the close-combat ability of this Diamond Form can combine perfectly with Chakra."

"Later, Sister Lan, you can learn some taijutsu. Normally, you can serve as the team's support, but if you become separated from the team due to unforeseen circumstances during a mission, or if an enemy ambushes you, you'll also have some ability to protect yourself."
