Chapter 461
Yu Xunge let out a soft "tch" of annoyance, clearing her inventory before sitting down on the spot. She took out four golden leaves from the Golden Tree.
Although most S-rank skills had lost their value to her and their usage was declining, the thought of using the golden leaves again still made her feel excited and nervous!
These items, akin to cheat codes, were something only those who used them could truly understand.
**Chapter 598: Oddities - Skill Extraction I & Racial Talent Activation**
Yu Xunge placed one golden leaf in her palm and crushed it.
In an instant, the leaf transformed into countless golden threads, reassembling in the air.
Before her floated a six-sided die made entirely of golden strands.
**Congratulations, player! You have drawn a 5th-tier reward—Talent Modification I.**
**Talent Modification I:** After use, you can modify one character or number in a divine talent skill that is no higher than S-rank. If you modify a number, you must roll the die to determine the new value. (If you roll a blank face, no modification will occur.)
This time, the die was similar to the last one, with three faces showing numbers and three blank. However, there was a slight difference.
The last die had the numbers “·”, “:”, and “∴”, while this one had “·”, “·”, and “∷”.
Yu Xunge didn’t rush to use it. She carefully stored the golden die and activated the remaining three golden leaves one by one.
**Congratulations, player! You have drawn a 5th-tier reward—Aerial Combat (1st Star Sea Year).**
**Congratulations, player! You have drawn a 5th-tier reward—Talent Modification I.**
**Congratulations, player! You have drawn a 5th-tier reward—Oddity: Skill Extraction I.**
**Skill Extraction I:** You can extract the unique skill of an ordinary oddity into a player skill. After extraction, the oddity will be completely destroyed and cannot be used again, and the unique skill will undergo slight changes during the extraction process.
Something new has appeared.
With the introduction of skill extraction for oddities, there must also be item skill extraction. However, Yu Xunge held a conservative view on this type of skill extraction.
In the past, she would have found it very convenient; after all, using oddities and items was nowhere near as quick and efficient as directly using skills.
But the gameplay from the recent restaurant fiasco had given her significant insights. Perhaps in the future, there would be divine games that only allowed the use of items or oddities.
To take a step back, the ordinary oddities she currently possessed were limited to a few: **The Big World, The Little Me**, **The Cross**, **The Wishing Pool's Turtle Jade**, **The Century-Old Brand**, **Happy New Year**, and **My World**.
The latter five had no real extraction value; they were everyday oddities, not suitable for combat.
The only one worth extracting was **The Big World, The Little Me**, but using that magnifying glass was quite convenient.
Just as Yu Xunge was about to store the golden die that resembled a small coffee machine, she paused and called out to her electronic pet in her mind. Ever since she obtained **The Secret in the Wind**, unless Tu Lan was present and they needed to chat together, she preferred to communicate with her pet through mental connection.
If it was about secrets, even in a group chat, she would rather go through the hassle of mental communication.
She asked, "Hey, Xiao B, if I don’t use it to extract skills, does this have any other uses? How long can it be preserved?"
B8017913, accustomed to Yu Xunge's various names for it, replied, "No other uses. If you don’t use it for five days, it will dissipate and return to the Golden Tree. Moreover, products related to the Golden Tree cannot be transferred to others. You gave it to Tu Lan because she is your pet."
That was a bit troublesome. She might as well use it.
However, Yu Xunge suddenly frowned, "So if I don’t use the golden branches and buds, will they disappear after five days?"
B8017913 replied, "If you don’t release their magical energy, their duration will be the same as that of the Snow Country Agreement."
That was good enough.
Yu Xunge began to recall the oddities she had seen in the Dinghai Atlas and sent a message to Zhao Shuying along with some low-level and mid-level potions she no longer needed.
Before long, a penguin-shaped doll was mailed back to her.
**Who Wants to Create a Group?** (Oddity): The holder of this oddity can establish a chat group. The targets you select can communicate with you in the chat group within your mind. You can connect with a maximum of five targets at the same time.
Yu Xunge aimed **Skill Extraction I** at the penguin doll.
The golden coffee machine instantly disassembled, wrapping the doll in golden threads, which then dissolved it.
At the moment the penguin doll melted away, Yu Xunge also gained a new skill.
**Who Wants to Create a Group?** (A): Using this skill, you can establish a private chat group in your mind. The targets you mark can chat with you in the group. You can mark a maximum of five targets at the same time. Each time you mark or unmark a target will consume 2000 mana points.
Yu Xunge immediately created a chat group, finding it quite similar to her usual conversations with her pet.
When she chatted with her pet, not all her thoughts were known to the other party. She needed to connect her mind with the two tiny pet shadows in her mind before her thoughts could be transmitted.
The chat group was similar; it was just a transparent box added to her mind.
She marked B8017913 and planned to mark Tu Lan when she got home that evening.
Next came the 1st Star Sea Year class on **Aerial Combat**, which Yu Xunge dove into. Having gone through the intense training of the 2nd Star Sea Year course, she adapted well to this 1st Star Sea Year class, which was also less intense than the courses opened from gift boxes.
After a few minutes of recovery, Yu Xunge opened her eyes.
She took out the golden branches; she currently had eleven, but she only planned to use five.
According to B8017913, the Snow Country Agreement could allow ten buds to bloom, but she had only obtained one bud so far. She had to prepare for the possibility that she wouldn’t be able to obtain ten buds before the Snow Country Agreement melted away.
If there were no buds by then, the branches would suffice.
As for keeping them all? Yu Xunge hadn’t considered that. Resources in hand should be quickly converted into strength to acquire even better resources.
She used all five branches.
**Congratulations, player! You have drawn a 7th-tier reward—Sewing (1st Star Sea Year).**
**Congratulations, player! You have drawn an 8th-tier reward—Talent Modification II.**
**Congratulations, player! You have drawn an 8th-tier reward—Talent Modification II.**
**Congratulations, player! You have drawn a 7th-tier reward—Attribute Point Reset.**
**Congratulations, player! You have drawn a 9th-tier reward—Skill Modification II.**
**Congratulations, player! You have drawn a 9th-tier reward—Activate Racial Talent: Level One (Success Rate: Unknown).**
Yu Xunge's mood fluctuated with the lottery results.
When she drew the sewing class, she cursed under her breath. After drawing Talent Modification twice in a row, she was all smiles. But when she got the Attribute Point Reset, her face was full of disdain, until she finally drew **Activate Racial Talent**, at which point she became serious.
Indeed, since the game invasion, the human race had lost its racial talents once they acquired the game panel.
Her current racial talent was the undead talent she had glitched into, consisting of **Consumption** and **Undead Will**.
She was actually hesitant about activating her racial talent… she worried it might erase her previous racial talents.
Racial talents were like passive skills, but even better, because on the world battlefield, racial talents were innate, requiring no prerequisites to use.
Perhaps the activated racial talent would provide the best bonuses for her race, but what could be more suitable for her than **Undead Will**?
**Undead Will:** The more desperate you become, the stronger your willpower. When your health drops below 5%, all attributes double. When your health drops below 1%, your current attributes double again.
**Chapter 599: Racial Talent: Optimism & Skill Modification**
How beautifully it paired with her **Mysterious Power**!!
She admitted that every time she used **Mysterious Power**, it was either to escape or to survive…
But wasn’t that just the way things were?
Was it really called escaping or surviving?
Of course not!
That was tactical retreat, strategic hiding!
Once she became stronger—though it was just like her rise to fame as a star long ago, no matter how popular she was, her fans always said she was on the rise. Back then, she didn’t understand this mysterious and flexible "rise," but now she did, because she couldn’t even articulate how strong she needed to be to be considered strong.
When she was rampaging with **Mysterious Power**—though she was forced to use it, the chances of her rampaging were actually quite slim.
But in any case, that was the situation; this **Undead Will** was the perfect partner for **Mysterious Power**!
Yu Xunge shared her concerns with B8017913, asking, "Will activating this racial talent push my previous racial talents out?"
B8017913 explained, "Each race can have a maximum of three racial talents. This activated racial talent will activate the racial talent of your entire group. As long as your number of racial talents does not exceed three, the new racial talent will not affect your previous ones."
Yu Xunge understood, no wonder some of the twelve alien races had two racial talents while others had only one.
