Next door, Lin En had been watching her changes through the wall the whole time.
"Holy fucking... was the effect really that potent...?"
Lin En went rigid.
After watching the entire process from her awakening to her final transformation, even he felt terrified.
A moment ago, she had been someone who could endure an entire day of his tentacle play and still sneer and mock him without batting an eye. Yet after only a short time with his Origin Substance implanted, it had turned her into a happy, cheerful little idiot of a girl. He had never imagined this would happen.
Once again, he thought of himself.
"If I hadn't resisted the urge to try implanting it back then..."
An image instantly surfaced in his mind: a little-girl version of Lin En rolling around on the floor with a ٩(๑＞◡＜๑)۶ expression.
Hiss-
Lin En sucked in a cold breath.
Yes, it was just as he had suspected. Once something had changed you in certain ways, digging out your own Origin Substance of your own accord was no longer so simple.
Just like those top-tier Ability Users Hana Ye had told him about, who had fallen from grace because of an [Idiot] Sequence. At the time, he had wondered why they hadn't dug out that Idiot Origin Substance. Now, clearly, there was a reason. Once you became an idiot, how would you even think to dig out your Origin Substance?!
"Looks like it really did take effect."
Lin En pondered.
"Two instances of [Intelligence Reduction] were already pretty extreme, never mind the extra boost from [Negative Sequence Enhancement]. And if it doubled them... that would be four instances of [Intelligence Reduction]..."
"Could I still get her to do anything if she really became an idiot?!"
The corner of Lin En's eye
