Solving the Case Again

"There's a lot of room to maneuver here," Xia Yan continued in a hushed tone. "Even if the soldiers here know Jiang Xiaopi is a Medical Awakened, they'll just subconsciously assume his Blessing Star Technique is Bronze Quality. We just need to upgrade his Blessing Star Technique to Silver Quality the first time Jiang Xiaopi reveals his Star Chart to the world."

Han Jiangxue nodded. "Mm, that saves us the trouble of explaining the incredible situation of a Star Technique's upgrade."

Xia Yan continued to whisper to Han Jiangxue, "Even if the military brass figures it out and questions us, we'll just insist that Jiang Xiaopi originally absorbed an extremely rare Silver-grade White Ghoul Witch Star Bead. Although Silver-grade White Ghoul Witches are scarce, they aren't nonexistent."

"Moreover, you have a natural advantage. You can attribute all high-quality, rare Star Beads and Star Techniques to your parents," Xia Yan said. "If anyone asks, just say they were rare Star Beads your parents left for you and your brother."

"I understand what you mean, but... what about the future?" Han Jiangxue asked, a hint of confusion in her voice. "We can't suppress him from upgrading his Star Techniques' quality just because we're afraid of exposing his special abilities. He has such a powerful trait; it's destined for him to..."

Han Jiangxue's excitement suddenly vanished. It was a bit laughable to say it out loud, but the stronger Jiang Xiao became, the more advanced the teams he might join in the future, the more dangerous missions he might face, and the less secure his life would be.

It was like Han Jiangxue's parents, who became Heroic members of the Pioneer Legion, disappeared without a trace three years ago.

"These aren't things you can decide. Although he's a mischievous child now, he's also a man. He'll grow up eventually. You can't decide his future," Xia Yan said, seemingly sensing her best friend's doubts. "Especially since his abilities are too special, and he's a Medical Awakened. He's destined not to follow the path of most Awakened."

"A very realistic problem lies before us: what if Jiang Xiaopi truly aims to follow in his parents' footsteps? What if he really wants to join the Pioneer Legion, or the revered Night Watch Legion?" Xia Yan's words filled Han Jiangxue with worry.

Xia Yan continued, "Setting aside honor, such legions mean higher risks, but they also mean higher rewards."

It should be known that just a few days ago, Han Jiangxue had even encouraged Jiang Xiao to become stronger, build a team, and go to the place where his parents disappeared to give them some closure.

But that was just Han Jiangxue's way of encouraging Jiang Xiao. At the time, like everyone else, she believed Jiang Xiao was just an incompetent individual with extremely poor aptitude.

Han Jiangxue genuinely didn't believe Jiang Xiao could reach such heights.

Back then, Han Jiangxue even encouraged Jiang Xiao to use his Medical Star Techniques more to attract the school's attention and gain more resource allocation.

But now, things were different. Completely different.

Jiang Xiao, with such a special physique, was truly unsuited to be a shining star. Instead, he should remain as low-key as possible.

"All we can do is plan suitable Star Techniques for him within his limited Star Slots, forge him into an impenetrable fortress, and make him stronger and stronger," Xia Yan's voice softened as she gently comforted Han Jiangxue. "He only has 7 Star Slots left now, no, 6. We must reserve one Star Slot to capture a Star Pet. We need to carefully consider our choice of Star Pet; it's too important for him."

Xia Yan sighed. "Compared to Awakened like us with 28 or 30 Star Slots, his Star Slots are incredibly precious."

Han Jiangxue remained silent, offering no response.

However, in her heart, she was thinking about something else. She just hoped to find a powerful backer before Jiang Xiao's special abilities were completely exposed.

Jiang Xiao's ability to upgrade Star Technique quality was indeed heaven-defying, but at the same time, it would attract the covetous eyes of those with ulterior motives.

She hoped Jiang Xiao wouldn't be assassinated by Awakened from other countries while various factions fought fiercely over him.

In the silence, Jiang Xiao had already changed into a neat Camouflage Uniform, replenished the supplies in his Marching Pack, and walked out of the Changing Room.

"Talking for so long? You haven't changed your gear yet. It's especially cold there," Jiang Xiao said, looking at Han Jiangxue, who was in a flowing white dress.

"Mm." Han Jiangxue's mood was complicated. She let out a faint "Mm" and turned to enter the women's changing room.

Jiang Xiao didn't notice anything amiss. After all, Han Jiangxue had always been like this.

"Hey, kid, since you've decided to join our team, I need to explain our Star Techniques, combat characteristics, and habits," Xia Yan said.

"Okay." Jiang Xiao nodded obediently. Over the past few days of combat, he had gained a general understanding of Xia Yan. Despite being a woman, she was a fierce close-combat warrior.

Her Great Blade was extremely lethal, and her movement techniques were incredibly agile, always saving Jiang Xiao's life at the last moment. In Jiang Xiao's mind, he had already categorized Xia Yan as an "Agile Warrior."

"Warrior, 28 Star Slots, 2 Bronze, 5 Silver. Her Star Chart is a Greatsword," Xia Yan said softly.

"I know all that. Why do you need to emphasize the shape of the Star Chart?" Jiang Xiao asked, puzzled.

"Didn't your sister tell you?" Xia Yan blinked, then thought for a moment, a mischievous smile appearing on her face. "That's right. She always thought you were a weakling."

Jiang Xiao: "..."

Xia Yan put her elbow on Jiang Xiao's shoulder and said with a chuckle, "When all the Star Slots in your Star Chart are lit up, and your total Star Power reaches the Star Sea Stage or the Starry Sky Stage, you can achieve Transform Star into Weapon."

"Transform Star into Weapon?" Jiang Xiao tried to prop himself up. If she pinned him down, it would be a huge embarrassment. Speaking of which, why was this woman so heavy? She had such a great figure. Was her Great Blade that heavy?

"Yes, you can refine your Star Chart and turn it into your weapon, or your closest companion. These are still quite far off for us, but the shape of most people's Star Charts can determine their future path," Xia Yan said. "It's best to choose a profession that matches your Star Chart."

"For example, me. The profession that best matches me is a warrior who can wield a Greatsword, which is why my current weapon is so peculiar." Xia Yan's explanation resolved the doubts in Jiang Xiao's mind.

He had wondered why this woman wielded such a strange Great Blade. Who would normally choose such a combat tool?

Wait, Han Jiangxue's Star Chart was a blazing White Flame. Clearly, a ranged magic-user Awakened route would be more compatible with her, and Han Jiangxue had followed that path obediently.

But what about Jiang Xiao? Jiang Xiao's Star Chart was the "Big Dipper Nine Stars"? What did that mean? Both young ladies believed Jiang Xiao was a Medical Awakened, which was why his Star Chart was so strange.

But Jiang Xiao knew he wasn't just a Medical Awakened; he was an All-Class Awakened. He could absorb any Star Bead, any Star Technique.

So, what profession was most compatible with the "Big Dipper Nine Stars" Star Chart? To put it nicely, it was "Big Dipper Nine Stars." To put it bluntly, the shape was a "Spoon."

It could even be considered a "?".

Every time Jiang Xiao activated his Inner Star Map, he felt the world's malice.

He always felt his Star Chart was mocking him.

Every time he opened his Star Chart, he was met with a "?".

Star Chart: ? Jiang Xiao: "..."

It had nine Star Slots, but they insisted on flattering themselves by comparing it to the "Big Dipper Seven Stars."

Abandoning his fantasies, Jiang Xiao decisively chose "Spoon" between the shapes "Spoon" and "Question Mark."

If I become a great god in the future and achieve Transform Star into Weapon, will I have to fight with a spoon?

Suddenly, Jiang Xiao's eyes lit up. Could I be an Alakazam?
