Chapter 462
A new question arose: the Undead Clan had existed for so long, and with the formidable Mistblade Maple Sugar, how could they have failed to activate their third racial talent for all this time?
B8017913: "Moreover, this racial talent is determined by your traits."
Yu Xunge paused: "What do you mean?"
B8017913: "You determine what kind of racial talent the human race will possess."
B8017913 continued: "The so-called activation involves the divine rules inscribed by the gods, using the experiences of a divine player as a sample to extract and analyze the racial traits of that divine player, ultimately summarizing and illuminating the talent of that race."
"This is why the success rate is unknown. If the divine player does not possess any particularly outstanding traits or flaws, the racial talent cannot be activated."
For some reason, Yu Xunge suddenly felt disinclined to activate it...
B8017913's explanation continued: "What you have now is a first-tier racial talent, which can evolve later. In any case, this is a rare reward, equivalent to drawing the top prize with the lowest odds in a game."
Yu Xunge: "Hmm..."
B8017913: "Why do you look so troubled? Are you worried about not being able to activate it?"
Instead of rushing to explain, Yu Xunge poked the little figurine outlined in golden threads and chose to use it.
【Announcement: Thanks to the efforts of player Zai Jiu Xun Ge, the racial talent of the human players has been activated. Player Zai Jiu Xun Ge receives 100,000 honor points.】
Yu Xunge rested her chin on her hand, gazing at her newly acquired racial talent.
【Optimistic】: Clever humans never act recklessly and remain eternally optimistic. Once engaged in formal combat, a mysterious force allows you to vaguely sense your chances of winning. If your win rate exceeds 80%, you will fight with uncontrollable laughter; if it’s below 80%, a brief chuckle will suffice, after which your agility will increase by 20% for 20 seconds. (As long as the battle continues, this effect can be activated repeatedly, but the buff can only take effect once every three minutes.)
Yu Xunge: "..." She knew it.
Well, it’s still quite useful; after all, outsiders wouldn’t know that the racial talent was derived from her performance...
Having learned about racial talents through online forums, B8017913 suddenly understood: "I see now."
Yu Xunge: "..."
A voice echoed in her mind: "Wow, I heard Zhao Shuying say that the human race awakened their racial talent with your help? Why does this talent feel a bit strange, almost like it’s your own?"
Even the name sounded oddly sarcastic...
Yu Xunge retorted confidently: "Nonsense! How could I possibly fight with a smile if my win rate doesn’t exceed 95%?!"
Tu Lan: ...That’s a fair point.
After dismissing Tu Lan, Yu Xunge arranged the five golden-threaded dice she had drawn in front of her.
Two 【Talent Modification I】, two 【Talent Modification II】, and one 【Skill Modification II】.
【Talent Modification II】: After use, you can modify one word or number in a divine talent skill of no higher than SS rank. If modifying a number, you must roll the dice to determine the new value. (If you roll a blank face, no modification will occur.)
【Skill Modification II】: After use, you can modify one word or number in a skill of no higher than SS rank. If modifying a number, you must roll the dice to determine the new value. (If you roll a blank face, no modification will occur.)
【Skill Modification II】 and 【Talent Modification II】 are generally similar, with the only difference being that the former can modify non-divine talent skills. However, since there’s no explicit exclusion of divine talent skills, it implies that divine talent skills can also be modified.
But the golden-threaded dice for 【Talent Modification II】 and 【Skill Modification II】 are no longer six-sided; they are twelve-sided.
These twelve-sided dice, like the six-sided ones, have half with numbers and half blank.
However, the numbers have undergone a dramatic change, no longer being simple points but rather additions and subtractions.
“+1,” “+2,” “+4,” “-2,” “-3,” “-3.”
“+3,” “+2,” “+2,” “-2,” “-1,” “-3.”
“+1,” “+2,” “+3,” “-2,” “-3,” “+4.”
She opened her game panel and positioned the dice next to the phrase “This skill can only be used once in a lifetime” in 【I Could Just Steal It】.
Just as the thought “What if I roll a negative number?” flashed through her mind.
Whether it was because it was meant for a skill that could no longer be used or because her approach was too greedy, the system’s prompt echoed in her mind:
——【If the modified usage count is less than 1, everything you gained through this skill will be reclaimed.】
Yu Xunge immediately withdrew her hand. What a tyrannical clause!!!
Although she could gamble and hope that the final count would exceed 3 or even 4, once something was reclaimed, it would be difficult to obtain it again.
She then positioned the dice next to the “10% health cost for each use” in 【I Want to Progress Too Much】. Was this 10 considered one number or two?
If she used the twelve-sided dice on 0 or 1, how would it work if she rolled a subtraction?
Compared to 【Talent Modification I】, 【Talent Modification II】 and 【Skill Modification II】 were more complex.
——【Considered as two numbers. If used on “1,” an increase will directly affect the tens place, while a decrease will render it illogical, causing the skill to be temporarily unusable.】
——【If used on “0,” an increase will directly affect the units place, while a decrease will directly affect the overall value.】
After clarifying all the details, Yu Xunge used three twelve-sided dice on 【I Want to Progress Too Much】.
What she aimed to modify was the “1” in “steal 1 point of attribute value from the opponent”!
With the condition that she could only successfully steal from the same target ten times, modifying the consumption seemed less appealing than directly modifying the key benefit.
She still had five unused withered branches as her safety net; she could afford to take the risk.
Yu Xunge rolled the three dice one after another!
“-2” — “blank” — “+3”!!!
【Chapter 500: Modifying 【Survive Until the End】】
—— “-2” — “blank” — “+3”!!!
【I Want to Progress Too Much】: Using this skill has a 30% chance to steal an item or 1% of money from the opponent, a 15% chance to steal 2 points of attribute value, and a 5% chance to steal a secret from the opponent; each use costs 10% of health. (This skill can only be successfully used on the same target a maximum of ten times, and be careful not to develop an irreconcilable hatred with others.)
This is her modified core skill.
Interestingly, due to having copied a skill icon once, her 【One-Person Party】 divine talent now has a total of five skills.
Among them, 【Skill 1】 and 【Skill 2】 are both 【I Want to Progress Too Much】.
She modified the core skill of 【Skill 1】.
It’s not like she could use it incorrectly; she could now close her eyes and “see” countless orbs of light within her soul, representing one skill after another. Every time she used a skill, she was drawing upon these orbs.
Though the two skills were closely aligned, Yu Xunge could clearly distinguish between them.
Even though she had exhausted all the modification opportunities from the golden branches, it had gone smoothly. Anyone who has played games knows how deep this pit can be, and Yu Xunge contentedly closed the game panel.
In her heart, she reveled in her progress, sharing her upgraded skill with Tu Lan and B8017913.
B8017913 and Tu Lan fell silent for a while before almost simultaneously asking her the same question:
"Then why didn’t you modify the skill first and then steal the luck? Wouldn’t that be much faster?"
Yu Xunge fell into deep thought, her mood suddenly heavy: "..."
Tu Lan: "??"
B8017913: "??"
Yu Xunge didn’t feel like talking to her pets for the moment.
After Tu Lan had said quite a bit without receiving a response, he sighed: "Cold shoulder."
B8017913 also received no reply, but the warm-hearted mechanical being chose to take a step back: "Though I don’t understand, it’s okay, Master. I respect your choice."
Yu Xunge: "..." It’s more like she’s the one giving the cold shoulder.
...
The risk of modifying an SS-level skill was daunting, and Yu Xunge couldn’t even imagine what the dice for 【Skill Modification III】 would be like.
As for the remaining two six-sided dice for 【Talent Modification I】, Yu Xunge felt a bit regretful.
If only it were 【Skill Modification】, she could have modified 【Time Reversal】, but unfortunately, she could only modify talent skills.
The only divine talent she could modify now was the A-level 【Divine Marksman】; the others were either SS or SSS.
Sigh~~~~~~
Just as she couldn’t use the divine talent skills she obtained through various channels as a cost for resurrection, this 【Talent Modification I】 also couldn’t modify the individual divine talent skills she acquired through various means.
Once those divine talent skills were in her hands, they no longer counted as divine talent skills in the divine talent column.
