Talent Effects

Drip! Drip!

A cold drop of water fell onto Moss's sleeping face and slowly slid down through her fur.

The icy temperature made Moss frown involuntarily!

Her consciousness gradually cleared, and a series of voices rang out in her mind!

Talent: Minor Injury Recovery (12%↑)

Talent: Minor Injury Recovery (30%↑)

Talent: Hunger Resistance (25%↑)

Talent: Minor Injury Recovery → Minor Injury Recovery I

Talent: Hunger Resistance → Hunger Resistance I

"So noisy..."

Still groggy, Moss mumbled a few words softly, but then seemed to realize something and sprang straight up.

She looked around in a panic, only slowly calming down after several seconds.

Only then did she remember that her leg seemed to have been injured. Her expression instantly changed, and she shouted:

"Ouch... Huh? It doesn't hurt anymore?"

Moss sat down on the ground, looked at her injured right leg, and tentatively moved it a few times.

"Mm! It isn't broken. It's really healed!"

Moss nodded calmly, then let out a long sigh of relief before collapsing halfway onto the ground again.

She had survived!

"Woohoo! Nice! Yeah!!!"

Moss lay on the ground and waved her fist in celebration before quickly opening her panel!

"...Awesome!"

Moss's eyes widened as two words surfaced in her mind and slowly echoed through the cave as sound!

She opened the previous notification logs and read through them one by one.

Gradually, the expression on Moss's face began to twist.

"Yoshi!"

Moss clenched her right fist and hooked it toward herself, her smile brilliant! (Jounouchi's smile.jpg)

Golden Finger: Effect ①: Talent Construction and Optimization; meaning unknown (unable to analyze)

Talent Construction and Optimization: Practice makes perfect, and repeated refinement turns skills into techniques. Any skill or action can be constructed into a talent, and talent levels can also be increased.

What was a surprise? What the hell was a surprise?

Was this what a cheat like the Golden Finger was?!

It was too powerful!

Moss had already realized from the information in her memories how difficult talents were to obtain!

At present, the only known ways to obtain talents were through advancement and changing classes.

Within a single tier, an Awakened One could obtain at most eleven talents through these two methods!

But Moss knew that distributing talent points so evenly would unquestionably ruin them!

In other words, an Awakened One obtained very few talents within a single tier—at least fewer than eleven!

Although Moss didn't know whether the laws offered any other ways to obtain talents,

she knew that the number of her talents far exceeded that of any other Awakened One, and that the level of every talent was definitely not low!

"Hahaha—With this talent, how could I worry about not becoming invincible under heaven!"

Moss stood up and laughed arrogantly!

Gurgle—

But as a strange sound came from her stomach, Moss collapsed back onto the ground.

Gurgle—

"I'm hungry..."

Moss muttered weakly to herself as the notification sound slowly rang out in her mind.

Hunger Resistance I (3%↑)

Whether it was because of Hunger Resistance or because her body urgently needed food to replenish its energy,

Moss felt that she had gained a little more strength.

She slowly got up and carefully looked around at her surroundings.

"This is... I'm still in the cave."

Moss quickly figured out where she was. She was still in the cave from before.

She hadn't expected that, after being injured and wandering around in a daze, she would somehow make her way into a small resting hollow inside the cave.

Drip! Drip!

The faint sound of dripping water reached Moss's ears and guided her onward.

Moss cautiously poked her head out and vigilantly surveyed the area before stepping out of the hollow.

Drip!

"This way..."

Following the sound of water, Moss walked toward the exit.

Drip!

The pitch-black sewer was silent, save for the steady dripping of water.

Moss stood before the hollow and looked at the scene and surroundings outside.

"As expected... this place is much quieter than the sewer from before."

After all, there was too little food in this sewer. There weren't even any larger animals.

Moss walked out of the hollow and arrived beside the slowly flowing sewage.

She looked at the pitch-black wastewater and silently swallowed.

A series of dry, painful sensations came from her throat, and Moss wished she could lower her head and gulp down a mouthful.

"It should be drinkable, right?"

Moss recalled this body's memories. The water she had drunk in the nest hadn't been much different from this.

After hesitating for a moment, she still lowered her head and began to drink.

Talent: Poison Resistance (12%↑)

"Uh... I actually gained another talent..."

Moss's drinking froze. She glanced at the new talent on the panel, then lowered her head and continued drinking.

The water was poisonous, but she didn't care.

Aside from its terrible taste, Moss didn't feel anything else.

Even the most basic Poison Resistance was already enough to neutralize the toxins in the wastewater.

Right now, replenishing her water was the most important thing. Everything else could be ignored!

Glug! Glug!

Moss drank several mouthfuls. Feeling the foul taste, she couldn't help swearing inwardly:

I have to leave this damned place someday!

After replenishing her water, Moss began searching for food.

"Ah, although there isn't much food, I should still be able to find something if I look..."

Moss looked at an unidentified object floating in the wastewater, her expression turning somewhat complicated.

It was a lump of rotten meat whose original species was impossible to identify—oily and soggy rotten meat.

"Uh... I should be able to eat it."

Moss dragged the rotten meat over, her face grim as she swallowed.

To be honest, if she hadn't been truly lacking in stamina, Moss really wouldn't have wanted to touch this thing.

Her mouth opened and closed repeatedly. After mentally preparing herself for a long while, she finally took a deep breath.

"In... out..."

Eat! If she didn't eat, how could she survive, recover her human form, and see this brand-new world?

She took a small bite, and two notifications immediately appeared in her mind!

Talent: Omnivory (52%↑)

Talent: Poison Resistance (20%↑)

Ptooey!!!

"Urgh... It's disgusting! But it seems fine. Still, it's so disgusting!"

Moss violently spat out the rotten meat in her mouth and covered it with a nauseated expression.

She swore again that she absolutely had to leave this place someday!

After finally suppressing the urge to vomit, she soothed her spasming stomach.

Moss looked at the rotten meat, which had only had a small bite taken out of it, and hardened her heart!

I have Poison Resistance anyway. It definitely won't hurt me if I eat it!

Moss consoled herself inwardly and buried her head in the rotten meat, gnawing away.

Smack, smack... Urgh!

After a long while, Moss crawled back into the hollow and lay in her temporary nest, saying weakly:

"Oh, my God! I never want to eat this damn filthy garbage again!"
