Elemental Power

The day after the Myriad Phenomena Tower tournament ends is when new players can exit the game.

"What? Brother Chen, you're not going back this time?"

Early in the morning, Fatty came to call Xiao Fan to log off together, but Xiao Fan said he had something to do.

"I'll tell you about this later. When you go back this time, please tell my uncle and aunt that I have important things to do and will visit them next time."

Xiao Fan had to stay in the Novice Village to help the Zijin Protector.

Although the village is safe, what if something unexpected happens? Just to be on the safe side, he decided not to log off.

"Okay." The fat man nodded.

The Zijin absorbed the Thunder Spirit Fruit for a full three days.

She didn't open her eyes until the third day.

"Has it finished absorbing?" Xiao Fan's large face suddenly appeared.

Zijin rolled his eyes, stood up, and nodded. "Yes, with the help of the Thunder Spirit Fruit, my lightning elemental power will soon be upgraded to Earth-Grade Lightning, and my strength will increase considerably."

"Land... Earth-Grade Lightning?" Xiao Fan was filled with questions. How could there be Earth-Grade Lightning?

"What is Earth-Grade Lightning? How does it become Earth-Grade Lightning?" Xiao Fan asked.

"Earth-Grade Lightning are Earth-level lightning-type power." Zijin put his hands on his hips and looked Xiao Fan up and down. "You don't have any Lightning Element power, why are you asking this?"

"Just because I don't have it now doesn't mean I won't have it in the future. Besides, what is elemental power?" Xiao Fan felt that something was detached from the game's scope.

Zijin:... You ignorant human!

"Elemental power is the elemental ability you possess within your body, such as wind, fire, thunder, and lightning," Zijin explained.

Xiao Fan: "I understand that, but what's the use of elemental power?"

Zijin gave him an incredulous look. "You don't even know this? What kind of person are you?"

Xiao Fan:... Please explain.

"Elemental power has many uses. First, it can be used directly as a means of attack. Second, it can be integrated into one's own skills, making skills with increased elemental abilities even stronger! In addition, different elements have other different uses, there are many more." Zijin explained with a frown.

Xiao Fan roughly understood.

"It seems that <Cloud Sea> is more complicated than I imagined."

Previously, Xiao Fan created skills based solely on character traits and had never attempted to incorporate elemental abilities. He thought elements were the simplest thing to add, something he could do at will. Now it seems he was mistaken.

"But skills incorporating elemental power should be even stronger!"

"Then how can one acquire elemental abilities?" Xiao Fan asked again.

Zijin realized that Xiao Fan really didn't understand anything about elements.

"There are two ways to acquire elemental abilities. One is to awaken your own unique elemental ability after reaching level 100. Everyone can awaken this. Elemental levels are divided into Common, Earth, Heaven, God, and Supreme. Different talents result in different elemental levels. Upgrading elemental levels is extremely difficult unless you have an elemental spirit fruit."

Xiao Fan: Oh~ so you need to reach level 100 to awaken it. Well, sorry to bother you.

"What's the second option?" Xiao Fan asked again.

"The second method is external absorption. We beasts can absorb Elemental Evolution Fragment to gain elemental abilities, while you humans can absorb Elemental Seed. For example, if you want to obtain the Fire Element, you need to absorb Fire Seed. However, this is not 100% successful; there is a high chance of failure. But Elemental Seed themselves have levels. If you absorb a Heavenly Fire Seed, you will directly obtain Heavenly Fire, which is much faster than leveling up yourself. However, the higher the level of the Elemental Seed, the higher the chance of failure."

It took Xiao Fan a long time to process this information.

However... there are currently no updates or explanations regarding the elements in the Cloud Sea, and he doesn't know if it's the same as what Zijin said.

Moreover, the origin of Zijin itself is quite strange.

Xiao Fan guessed that the game <Cloud Sea> might not only have Blue Star participating, but the Blue Star players were too weak to have even come into contact with players from other planets. Zijin was just stuck on Blue Star's side due to some game bugs.

"It seems we'll have to wait until a player reaches level 100 before we can see anything."

If gameplay elements appear after level 100, then Xiao Fan's guess will be correct.

If there are no new gameplay elements, it will be even more terrifying!

"By the way Zijin, what are the Elemental Evolution Fragment used for?"

"No way, Jiu Chen, you don't even know this?" Zijin took two steps back, looking at Xiao Fan in disbelief.

Xiao Fan scratched his head. "I was just testing you."

Zijin:?? You can go to the side!

"For us beasts, absorbing Elemental Evolution Fragment can grant us evolutionary power, and there's also a chance to acquire the abilities contained within the fragments."

"And what about us humans?" Xiao Fan asked impatiently.

"How would I know about you humans? I'm just a bird!" Zijin spread his hands.

Xiao Fan: "You don't know?"

Zijin: "I don't know!"

"What did the humans you met before do with the Evolution Fragment?" Xiao Fan asked.

"Raise us! We are your closest companions!" Zijin said matter-of-factly.

Xiao Fan's anxiety finally died!

"Is the purpose of the Evolution Fragment to raise pets? But the Resurrection Art quest clearly requires him to complete a healing evolution once; he doesn't believe this has nothing to do with the Evolution Fragment."

But... Zijin has no reason to lie to himself.

Xiao Fan was a little confused.

If that's the case, then what's the point of him staying in Zone 18 and waiting?

Zijin flew to Xiao Fan's shoulder and patted him on the shoulder. "Give me Evolution Fragment you have, and I'll protect you from now on."

"Thank you." Xiao Fan didn't want to say anything.

"Jiu Chen, has your Core Power arrived?" Blade Shadow knocked on the door and walked in.

"What Core Power?" Xiao Fan asked, looking completely bewildered.

"Didn't you know? The champion Novice Village the Myriad Phenomena Platform competition can receive 1,000 Core Power from the national government every month for a year. With that Core Power, our strength will increase significantly."

Xiao Fan glanced at his personal information.

To be honest, with his current Core Power, a difference of a thousand or a thousand is really not significant, so he should just consider it as having it.

Blade Shadow leaned against the door and sighed, "Our Zone 18 won first place in Myriad Phenomena Platform this year, so there should be quite a few people assigned to our Novice Village tomorrow."

"Isn't this a happy thing? Powerhouse, don't you want that?" Xiao Fan asked back.

"To be honest, I used to dream of having many newbies in Zone 18 so we could work together to make it work. But now I realize that if there are too many people, many powerful forces will move into Zone 18, and the united and relaxed atmosphere we have now will never be the same again." Blade Shadow said with a hint of melancholy.

"Huh? Where did you pick up this sparrow? It's quite pretty." Wind Snow Traveler suddenly noticed the Zijin on Xiao Fan's shoulder.

"You're the sparrow, your whole family are sparrows," Zijin retorted without hesitation.

"Holy crap! This sparrow can talk!"
