The True Use of the Panel?

When he saw this prompt, Bai Chuan understood in an instant.

It was indeed feasible.

At the same time, he learned another piece of information about the Panel's functions.

That was, after his scan succeeded, if the model already existed in his Ability Structure Library.

Then when he scanned that creature again, the word "editable" would appear.

The reason he had never noticed this before was that in most cases, he directly devoured his targets...

With the creature dead, what was there left to edit?

As for the few he had scanned to completion, either he had killed them and couldn't eat them, or they were something special he dared not consume. After scanning those, he certainly wouldn't bother trying to scan them again.

He just left directly.

So, only now, on a sudden whim, did he discover that he could actually edit other creatures.

Having grasped this, Bai Chuan silently opened this rat's model.

Clearly, the entire operation process was the same as evolving himself.

Just as he was about to start selecting abilities, Bai Chuan suddenly thought of something else.

When evolving other creatures, could he use abilities from his own body?

After all, his ability model—that snake-like, dragon-like thing—had always been brazenly present in this mysterious space.

He had thought about testing it before, but that model only reacted when he took it apart to examine it or when evolving abilities.

And now, encountering another creature's model with the "editable" label for the first time, might there be some different changes?

Thinking this, he tried selecting his own model, then chose to open it.

As the Panel shifted, his model's abilities were displayed from another angle.

'Race: Unknown (?).'

'Abilities: LV3 (Details), LV2 (Details), LV1 (Details).'

Seeing this, Bai Chuan was stunned. He hadn't expected it to actually work.

Staring at the "Unknown" on the Panel, he let out a wry laugh. He hadn't thought his displayed race would be Unknown.

Well, it made sense. He had no idea how many times he had strengthened himself. He had lost even snake traits like ectothermy and hibernation, plus all those bizarre abilities and claws.

If he went out now and told someone he was a King Cobra, they'd probably stare at him in confusion—what part of him looked like a KC?

Did they think he was stupid?

After laughing for a bit, Bai Chuan refocused on the Panel.

So the question was, if he selected his own abilities, would those abilities still exist on him afterward?

If they didn't, would they simply vanish? Or would it cause irreversible harm to him?

For a moment, Bai Chuan's curiosity flared up. He ignored the rat's model and started experimenting directly.

First, he tried opening his own model, then casually selected an ability and confirmed extraction. In an instant, the Panel popped up a message.

[Please choose method: Copy or Remove?]

It worked!

And unlike the ability models he used as consumables, his seemed special—it offered two options.

At this moment, Bai Chuan instinctively narrowed his eyes, carefully studying the two choices.

Copy and Remove.

Literally speaking, Copy should have no harm to him—his ability would remain unchanged. But what about Remove?

If his ability was removed, what consequences would he face?

Would it vanish like other models, with him dying outright? Or would he suffer massive damage? Or perhaps nothing at all?

If nothing happened, then he could probably operate much more boldly.

Previously, every time he evolved, the model he used as material would disappear due to damage and incompleteness, making him hesitant to evolve recklessly.

He feared that after evolving, he might suddenly discover an ability didn't suit him—especially external body parts—and then how would he shed that part?

But now, with Remove, if it posed no harm to him, could he freely experiment with various abilities?

For example, bird wings—if he grew a pair, could he fly?

The reason he hadn't evolved such things before was the concern that if he did, and reality made them useless, and he couldn't get rid of them, they'd become a burden.

But now, if Remove caused no harm, couldn't he just try anything?

As long as he had enough Points, he could experiment however he wanted. Even abilities with low compatibility could be checked for their effects.

Of course, he could test that on other creatures.

The more Bai Chuan thought about it, the more excited he became. He almost wanted to start experimenting right then.

Fortunately, his reason held. He knew this wasn't the time for testing.

First, he would use this little rat as a lab rat to observe the evolution process.

After all, for it, this was not only harmless but also beneficial.

And he could witness the true face of evolution—why not do it?

As for later, once he resolved this situation and ensured safety and stability, he would find another animal to test the effects of removing an ability first.

He couldn't just foolishly use himself as an experiment subject; he wouldn't mess around with effects that hadn't been tested.

As the saying goes: "A man of wealth should not sit under the eaves; a gentleman does not stand beneath a crumbling wall."

What status did he, Bai Chuan, hold? How could he lose his wits and experiment on himself?

His life was the most important! Only by living could there be hope.

Perhaps this Panel's ability was meant for him to use this way?

In the future, when his Points were so abundant he couldn't spend them all, he could even artificially grant special and powerful abilities to various creatures, then place them in harsh environments to force them to evolve even better abilities.

Then he could harvest them—wouldn't that be wonderful?

In a daze, Bai Chuan seemed to have discovered the true way to use this Panel.

With that, Bai Chuan no longer delayed.

He looked at the little rat and began to consider.

In the current situation, what ability should he give this rat to help it, while keeping his own expenditure low?

First, the Frost Ability he had just obtained was out of the question.

After all, that ability required those White Light points, and the Light points were all on him now; no one knew what would happen if it was strengthened.

This kind of ability, which seemed to have uniqueness, he wouldn't risk giving away recklessly.

Then, the most useful Electric Muscle ability?

The thought had barely crossed his mind when Bai Chuan dismissed it himself. The Electric Muscle ability wasn't some strange power; it required a large amount of Electric Muscle, and this little rat's physique—

Bai Chuan sized it up and decisively shook his head. With this build, it would probably struggle with all its might and still produce only a few volts—completely a burden.

As for other auxiliary or stealth-related abilities, they probably wouldn't be useful either.

After all, this rat had already been marked by the other party for direct tracking, like a real-time locator; hiding was completely useless.

However, Bai Chuan believed that any method had a time limit. So he should give it an ability related to escape. As long as it was clever enough to hold out until that thing expired, it might survive.
