34: Chapter 34 Another Use of "Oracles"

Thirty days was not a long time for Eighteen.

But with Lin Sheng's current situation unclear, this time felt incredibly long in Eighteen's heart.

"Mnh~"

A sound similar to a groan rang out beside Eighteen, and Eighteen suddenly turned to look.

At some point, the original Lin Sheng, who had seemed non-existent, slowly woke up.

"Roar roar!"

Eighteen's large face, filling Lin Sheng's entire field of vision, gave the newly awakened Lin Sheng a start; he subconsciously took a step back.

After clearly seeing that this creature was Eighteen, Lin Sheng finally relaxed a bit.

He nodded to Eighteen, indicating he was fine, then began checking the changes in his body after this Evolution.

[Host: Lin Sheng

evolution points +1

...

Looking at the information presented on the system panel, Lin Sheng was very confused.

Lin Sheng could still understand the Chloroplasts talent; after all, the system had already provided a reminder.

Furthermore, the occasional influx of evolution points reminded Lin Sheng that his Chloroplasts had been successfully installed.

But as for that new talent called "Flesh Parasitism," Lin Sheng indeed found it somewhat difficult to understand.

"System, what's the deal with Flesh Parasitism?"

"What level of talent is it exactly?"

Lin Sheng was very puzzled.

At that time, when he saw "Truth" after the talent, he was quite startled.

But on second thought, if that talent really were Truth Level, it wouldn't be ranked so low.

[Ding]

[The Host's parasitable objects are influenced by both the Host's consciousness strength and physical body.]

[Although the Host's consciousness is Truth Level, the physical body does not meet the standard, so the current upper limit of this talent is only Natural Grade.]

With a simple explanation from the system, Lin Sheng understood instantly.

Ultimately, it was because his physical body was too weak.

Although the physical body's limitations prevented Lin Sheng from fully utilizing this new talent, he did not feel disappointed because of it.

On the contrary, upon learning that the talent's upper limit was Truth Level and that the talent would improve as long as his physical body improved, Lin Sheng was still very happy.

He read the description of this talent once more and suddenly noticed something that concerned him greatly.

"System, according to the description of Flesh Parasitism, it can parasitize not only biological organisms but also inanimate objects, right?"

[The Host's thought is correct.]

The system confirmed Lin Sheng's speculation.

"Take out the 'oracle'."

Lin Sheng instructed the system.

...

Eighteen, who was staring blankly at Lin Sheng from the side, suddenly widened its eyes.

In its field of vision, a massive cube suddenly appeared.

In Eighteen's eyes, this cube was almost half the size of its own body; it was simply the most perfect cube in its heart.

The colorful light flowing within the cube had a power to entice a creature's mind; as Eighteen looked at this colorful light, it couldn't help but become immersed in it.

While taking out the "oracle," Lin Sheng was watching Eighteen.

When he saw that Eighteen was actually attracted by the colorful light, he couldn't help but be startled.

"Crack."

Lin Sheng used all his strength and bit down on Eighteen's claw.

"Clang! Clang!"

The slight stinging pain from its claw brought Eighteen back to its senses; when it looked at the "oracle" again, its gaze had changed from curiosity to caution.

It knew this thing was brought out by Lin Sheng, so it didn't distance itself immediately. Instead, it stood up and made room for Lin Sheng, wanting to see what he planned to do next.

Suddenly, Eighteen seemed to notice something.

It looked at the "oracle," then looked at Lin Sheng again.

Eighteen knew very well that its little brother's size was very small, far smaller than the cube in its eyes.

But miraculously, its little brother could actually play with this cube using his claws.

Even more astonishing and incomprehensible to Eighteen was that it could clearly see the cube was half the size of its own body, while Lin Sheng wasn't even as large as its claw.

After noticing this situation, Eighteen's eyes narrowed slightly.

Even with its high-level intelligence, it was difficult to understand the situation before it.

Lin Sheng did not understand this characteristic of the "oracle," so he did not know about the confusion in Eighteen's heart.

After Eighteen made room for him, Lin Sheng activated "Flesh Parasitism" on the "oracle."

Countless tiny, hair-like tentacles emerged from beneath Lin Sheng's scales; after the tentacles completely wrapped around the "oracle," they began to slowly retract into Lin Sheng's body.

Watching this scene, Eighteen's mood suddenly became somewhat heavy.

The tentacles dragged the "oracle," slowly placing it on Lin Sheng's forehead.

When the "oracle" touched Lin Sheng's forehead, the flesh tissue there began to squirm.

A large opening, sufficient to accommodate the "oracle," split open on his forehead; countless tentacles swarmed out uncontrollably, firmly fixing the "oracle" in place.

Once the "oracle" was embedded in Lin Sheng's forehead, the flesh surged again, quickly enveloping the "oracle" until only one corner was exposed.

Eighteen watched helplessly as its little brother, who wasn't even as big as its claw, embedded a cube nearly half the size of its own body into his head.

Although this process was incredible and full of incongruity, Lin Sheng had actually done it.

Lin Sheng carefully sensed the changes in himself, but he felt that aside from his mind becoming somewhat clearer, nothing else seemed to have changed.

["The 'oracle' enhances consciousness, not the physical body."]

As if by a flash of inspiration, such a thought suddenly popped into Lin Sheng's mind.

Just as this thought arose, the system's voice rang in Lin Sheng's ear.

[Ding]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the talent: Omniscience (Pseudo)]

[Omniscience (Pseudo) (Truth Level): Under certain prerequisites, the Host can know anything they wish to know.]

Just as Lin Sheng was about to ask the system what those "certain prerequisites" were, that flash of inspiration rose from his heart once more.
