43: Chapter 43: All Members Undergo a Major Talent Advancement

For Li Taiping, this system prompt was even more pleasant to hear than any sweet nothings!

He didn't even have time to greet the three new beauties; with a thought, he immediately opened his personal panel, eager to check the three Talents that had advanced.

The first, naturally, was Su Mei's [treasure basin].

[Talent: treasure basin]

[Quality: good (can advance with the Talent, and limited to the Talent itself)]

[Effect: This is a container of causality containing infinite space. When you "sacrifice" 36 units of the same item into the basin, the treasure basin will record the item's causal sequence and activate "infinite replication" mode.]

[Production Efficiency: 1 unit/second.]

[Current Restriction: Limited to "good" quality items and below. (Can be upgraded)]

[Evaluation: You can already try to drown the world, provided you are bored enough.]

"Holy crap!"

Seeing the change in the [Current Restriction] column, Li Taiping couldn't help but curse inwardly.

He could now replicate good grade items!

What did this mean?

It meant that starting today, all good grade resources would no longer be scarce for him!

good grade energy stones? As long as he gathered 36 of them, he could replicate them infinitely!

good grade weapons and equipment? As long as he got 36 pieces, he could arm an entire army!

good grade special items? As long as he met the quantity, everyone could have one!

This was practically leaping from a primitive society straight into the Industrial Revolution!

Li Taiping forcibly suppressed the wild joy in his heart and looked with burning eyes at the second advanced Talent.

That was Xia Zhi's [Swordsmanship Mastery].

[Talent: Swordsmanship Mastery]

[Quality: good (can grow)]

[Effect: Your understanding of sword-type weapons has reached perfection. All sword techniques and moves hold no more secrets for you; you can master them without a teacher and wield them with ease. When using sword-type weapons, your attack speed, precision, and destructive power are all significantly increased.]

[Evaluation: Now you can try challenging the title of "Sword Saint," although you will likely get beaten to a pulp.]

"Master without a teacher, wield with ease..."

Li Taiping muttered to himself, clearly feeling that countless pieces of knowledge and insights about swordsmanship had appeared in his mind out of thin air.

From the most basic slashing, hacking, and thrusting to various complex and exquisite sword routines, it felt as if he had been practicing hard for decades; all the techniques were deeply imprinted into his muscle memory.

If he had previously been just a "trainee with two and a half years of practice" who had mastered basic sword moves.

Then he was now a "Swordsmanship Master" in the true sense of the word!

Combined with his terrifying Good-Grade Late Stage physical fitness, he was confident that if he were to face that Goblin again, he wouldn't need to sneak attack with a gun; he could go head-to-head with it using just a cold iron sword!

Awesome! Too awesome!

Li Taiping felt the blood in his entire body boiling.

He took a deep breath and shifted his gaze to the last one, the advanced Talent he was most curious about.

Yun Jinxin's [Immunity to All Poisons].

[Talent: Immunity to All Poisons]

[Quality: good (can grow)]

[Effect 1: Passive effect. Your body structure has undergone conceptual solidification, granting immunity to all forms and levels of poison damage. It also reduces the impact of negative status effects to a certain extent.]

[Effect 2: Poison immunity sharing. When you perform the "Many Children, Many Blessings Ritual" "multiple" times with any crew member, that crew member will permanently gain the same "Immunity to All Poisons" effect as you.]

[Evaluation: You are now a walking super serum and a nightmare for all poisoners. Congratulations, your harem is no longer afraid of being poisoned.]

"Poison immunity sharing?!"

Li Taiping's eyes widened instantly.

This... this is simply a divine skill!

Being immune to all poisons was already perverse enough, but now it could actually be passed on through the "Many Children, Many Blessings Ritual," allowing all crew members to acquire this ability?

This meant his entire team would become an "Immunity to All Poisons" legion that feared no deadly poison!

In this crisis-ridden survival world, this was simply a heaven-defying trump card for survival!

Li Taiping was so excited he almost laughed out loud.

Su Mei's [treasure basin] solved the logistics and resource problems.

Xia Zhi's [Swordsmanship Mastery] improved his frontal combat capability.

And Yun Jinxin's [Immunity to All Poisons] provided the highest level of safety guarantee for the entire team!

The advancement of these three Talents was simply an all-around epic enhancement!

Just as Li Taiping was immersed in great joy, the three new women had already roughly understood the situation on the ship from Su Mei and Xia Zhi.

When they heard keywords like "Many Children, Many Blessings Ritual" and "awakening Talent," the three girls' reactions were completely different.

"Wow! Is it that magical? As long as you... you know... with the captain, you can gain superpowers?"

The elder Twin Sister, Lin Qingxue, was full of curiosity and excitement, looking at Li Taiping with big, blinking eyes, making no secret of her anticipation.

The younger sister, Lin Weiyu, was blushing furiously, pulling on her sister's hem and whispering:

"Sister, don't say it so loudly... It's so embarrassing..."

As for the cold, haughty young miss Chu Mengyao, her brows were slightly furrowed, and a trace of obvious disdain and resistance flashed in her eyes.

Let her do that kind of thing with a strange man?

That was pure wishful thinking!

She, Chu Mengyao, had been the center of attention since she was a child; when had she ever needed to be submissive?

She believed that even without so-called Talents, relying on her intelligence and ability, she could still survive in this world.

Li Taiping naturally noticed Chu Mengyao's expression of disdain, but he only glanced at her indifferently and didn't say anything more.

To each their own; a twisted melon is not sweet.

Since this young miss was unwilling, he wouldn't force her.

Anyway, the ship wasn't missing her right now.

His gaze fell on the pair of expectant Twin Sisters, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Captain brother~"

Seeing Li Taiping look over, Lin Qingxue immediately pulled her sister over, her voice cloyingly sweet,

"Can... can we awaken our Talents now? We really want to know what our abilities will be!"

"Yeah... yeah, Captain..."

Lin Weiyu also mustered the courage to whisper in agreement.

Looking at the two identical, pure, and cute faces in front of him, and listening to their soft, glutinous requests, Li Taiping kept a straight face, but he was already overjoyed inside.

What kind of cadre could withstand this kind of test?

And it was double!

"Of course you can."

Li Taiping looked upright and righteous,

"Awakening Talents for crew members is my duty as captain."

He turned his head and instructed Su Mei:

"Su Mei, take them to familiarize themselves with the ship's environment first and arrange rooms for them. Especially Miss Chu, take extra care of her."

He deliberately emphasized the words "Miss Chu."

How clever Su Mei was; she immediately understood.

She winked at Li Taiping and said with a smile:

"Rest assured, Captain~ I guarantee I will 'take care' of the new sisters properly~"

As she spoke, she enthusiastically pulled the still slightly reserved Yun Jinxin and walked over to Chu Mengyao and the twins.

"Three little sisters, come with me; big sister will take you on a tour of our new home."

The Twin Sisters happily followed Su Mei; they were full of curiosity about this huge warship and soon started chatting away with Su Mei and Yun Jinxin.

Only Chu Mengyao remained cold and icy. Although she followed along, she clearly kept a certain distance from the others, appearing out of place.
