117: Talent mutation!

Having composed himself, Lin Chuan took out paper and pen from his dimensional ring, which held non-essential items, and slowly began to draw.

When Jiao Zhengqing entered the bedroom, he looked surprised: "Boss, aren't you a bit too leisurely? Who are you drawing? Your girlfriend?"

Lin Chuan had drawn a sketch with a pencil.

It was a quiet-looking girl, about seventy to eighty percent accurate.

He didn't have too high hopes, handing the finished drawing to Jiao Zhengqing and instructing, "Try to help me find out about this person. She should be from the north, in her early twenties."

"This... it's not easy to find..." Jiao Zhengqing looked troubled.

Lin Chuan said indifferently, "Just keep an eye out. Whether we find her or not, it's up to fate."

He actually suspected that the No. 6 girl in this world might already be dead!

However, he would still pay a little attention.

Jiao Zhengqing put away the portrait, nodding seriously: "Okay, I'll tell the brothers to keep an eye out. Oh, Boss, I came to report that your paper crane flew to Hai City First Middle School!"

"First Middle School?" Lin Chuan frowned.

What was his uncle doing at First Middle School?

Jiao Zhengqing continued, "That's right, it's First Middle School! The situation there is very chaotic! When the apocalypse started, First Middle School happened to be holding a parent-teacher conference! At that time, the school not only had students but also parents! Those people, for some reason, didn't rush to leave the school after the apocalypse began!"

"Including the subordinate I sent out, after he followed the paper crane into First Middle School, he completely lost contact!"

"It's like, his name is still on the regional level ranking, but for some reason, he just can't be contacted!"

Lost contact after going in...

Lin Chuan confirmed again, "Are you sure no one from inside First Middle School has ever come out?"

"Yes! Whether it's the teachers and students in the school, or the parents who attended the parent-teacher conference, since the beginning of the apocalypse, no one has come out! It seems that no one who went into First Middle School has come out either, it's quite eerie!"

In this situation, Lin Chuan immediately thought of—

Unowned Secret Realm!

The entire First Middle School should be enveloped by an Unowned Secret Realm!

People who go in cannot contact the outside world!

People outside also cannot know what's happening inside!

And this Unowned Secret Realm should have been born the moment the apocalypse descended!

It contained everyone in First Middle School, including others who later mistakenly entered First Middle School!

And by now, it had lasted for over forty hours!

From the number of people it contained and its duration, it was not difficult to deduce that its danger level and death rate absolutely far exceeded the Evil Dragon and Warrior Secret Realm!

Even Lin Chuan hesitated a bit, not daring to go rashly!

After all, an Unowned Secret Realm wouldn't have people like shadows or referees to introduce the game rules to you!

Instead, all rules were hidden, to be slowly discovered by the players!

And during the exploration process, once a rule was violated, they would be immediately obliterated!

Furthermore, if he were to be trapped in that Unowned Secret Realm, Lin Chuan would miss many things!

For example, he had promised Jiao Zhengqing to help all guild members get on the level ranking!

What if he entered the Unowned Secret Realm and didn't come out before midnight?

Wouldn't he be breaking his word then?

So, Lin Chuan hesitated repeatedly and decided to wait a little longer.

At least, wait until 6 hours later, when his Fireball Talent evolved!

At that time, he could also try if the evolved Fireball could be used in the Secret Realm!

After sending Jiao Zhengqing away, Lin Chuan took out two more Talent Mutation Fruits!

He possessed hundreds of Talents, and if he were to choose one to mutate, the one he most wanted to mutate was naturally the S-Class Resurrection!

Lin Chuan was cold-hearted, and there were indeed not many opportunities to use this Talent!

At most, he would use it on Aiya or Jiao Zhengqing.

Or, when he killed a God Chosen in the future, he could try if he could exploit a bug to kill the God Chosen and then revive it?

In any case, Lin Chuan was most dissatisfied with this S-Class Talent!

So, without hesitation, he consumed the Talent Mutation Fruit, guiding the Talent energy of Resurrection to mutate!

The entire mutation process lasted for about ten minutes!

However, the result left Lin Chuan speechless—

The original function of Resurrection required consuming (dead player's level * 10,000) experience points from Lin Chuan to revive a player who had died no more than 24 hours ago.

And the new version of Resurrection—

Consumes all experience points of the deceased to revive a player who has died no more than 24 hours ago!

How to describe this change?

Did it mutate in a bad direction?

But when Lin Chuan used Resurrection again, he no longer needed to consume his own experience points.

But did it mutate in a good direction?

However, when it revived someone, the revived player directly became level 0...

Forget it, from an absolute egoist's perspective, this Talent indeed mutated in a good direction.

But it was completely useless!

What Lin Chuan truly wanted was a function that could revive himself!

The second Talent Mutation Fruit.

He was very conflicted, whether to continue using it on Resurrection or to mutate a different Talent?

After much consideration, he still chose to mutate the Shadow Clone Talent!

Lin Chuan had mutated the Shadow Clone Talent in his previous life!

After mutation, the Shadow Clone, which could originally only generate 1, became 3!

The increase in quantity was definitely a positive mutation!

So this time...

He took the Talent Mutation Fruit, induced the Shadow Clone Talent energy, and waited for another ten minutes!

However, when the mutation ended, Lin Chuan was speechless again!

This mutation did not increase the number of clones at all!

Instead, it added a new function to the original clone!

Lin Chuan could share senses with the clone!

However, what was this function for?

Lin Chuan quickly experimented.

He quickly sank his consciousness into the hub controlling the Shadow Clone in his mind.

The next second, he felt his body was a bit tight.

Good heavens, was Aiya dressing the clone in a tight suit?

Lin Chuan, from the clone's perspective, looked down slightly and saw Aiya clinging to the clone like an octopus!

Her chin was resting on the clone's shoulder, her eyes narrowed, drowsily sleeping... sleeping??!

Lin Chuan looked around again!

Good heavens, had he fallen into a pile of locusts???

There were bugs everywhere!

And the clone was still holding a sickle, seemingly diligently cutting bugs??

Lin Chuan's mouth twitched slightly, and with several consecutive flashes, he teleported away from the pile of locusts!

But then he heard Aiya mumbling drowsily, "Yinyin, what are you doing? My bugs?"

"Bugs? I'm tired of fighting bugs, I'm resting for a bit." Lin Chuan was just trying, but he didn't expect to actually be able to speak through the clone!

"Hmm???" Aiya's eyes instantly widened, and she jumped off the clone!

She looked at the clone with a shocked expression: "Yinyin, you can talk!!! No! How do you have facial features now?! You even look exactly like that pervert!"

"Per-pervert???" Lin Chuan's mouth twitched again.

However, Aiya didn't feel any danger at all, still immersed in her own thoughts.

With a look of pleasant surprise, she reached out her hand and kneaded and pinched Lin Chuan's, oh no, Lin Chuan's clone's face, muttering:

"It must be that after your master leveled up, you also became stronger! Look at this nose, these eyes, exactly like your master's! Even the touch feels more human than before!"
