328: magical talent

In an instant, a golden light illuminated the cramped space of the spaceship.

That was Lin Tianwei, moving so fast that he was beyond the speed the naked eye could catch, as if he had transformed into light.

Although this was just a visual illusion, Lin Tianwei's speed, when fully unleashed, was incredibly exaggerated.

In just one second, he could instantly cover a distance of over ten thousand meters.

In the eyes of a Cosmic Beast with poor perception, Lin Tianwei's movements were indistinguishable from Instantaneous Movement.

A hundredfold?

Although the increase from the Speed Burst Talent didn't reach an exaggerated hundredfold, it was at least several tens of times.

Of course.

The specific speed he could achieve still depended on Lin Tianwei's condition.

Without a body that could withstand such high speeds, moving too fast would actually be a burden for him.

In peak condition, Lin Tianwei might be able to attempt a sprint at a speed of one hundred thousand meters per second.

Cosmic Beasts with slightly slower speeds would even be completely unable to catch Lin Tianwei's figure.

Talent: Instantaneous Movement (King)!

Extremely fast speed could give the illusion of Instantaneous Movement, but it couldn't cross spatial barriers; it was a completely different kind of ability.

This Talent was also the second Talent Lin Tianwei wanted to test.

With a thought, Lin Tianwei instantly teleported from one end of the spaceship to the other.

The distance seemed short, but compared to Lin Tianwei's minuscule size, it was quite exaggerated.

Roughly estimated, with a single thought, Lin Tianwei could appear a hundred million meters away.

However, this was not the most exaggerated thing.

The most exaggerated thing was that, supported by the immense Space Energy of Talent: Space Energy (King), Lin Tianwei could teleport continuously.

He could advance towards his target at an incredibly exaggerated speed.

This Talent could even be combined with Talent: Speed Burst (King) to shorten the interval of Lin Tianwei's Instantaneous Movement.

Speed wasn't just about physical speed.

Undoubtedly, the upgrades of the three Talents greatly enhanced Lin Tianwei's combat power.

With explosive Flexibility, he could advance or retreat.

Facing an opponent who couldn't keep up with his speed, Lin Tianwei was already in an invincible position.

In this situation, if Lin Tianwei fully activated Talent: Instantaneous Movement (King), his speed could even be faster than this seemingly enormous spaceship.

However, with ample time, Lin Tianwei didn't need to do something that wasted his physical strength.

Wasn't it better for him to sit in the spaceship?

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei looked at his fourth Talent—Talent: Mental Food (King).

Although this Talent was incredibly powerful and had infinite growth potential, it had a fatal flaw.

That was, it required enough food to unleash its effects.

A clever housewife cannot cook without rice.

If there was no food to use as a test tool, it would be difficult for Lin Tianwei to test how much this Talent had improved after upgrading.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei looked at Tore in front of him.

Although Tore's appearance suggested he would be incredibly unappetizing.

As a Star-level Cosmic Beast, he could barely qualify as food for Lin Tianwei.

However, Lin Tianwei still had some moral bottom line; he wouldn't casually kill a companion.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei pulled out a refined energy bar from his Tiger Tooth Space.

Lin Tianwei had eaten this type of food before; although it tasted ordinary, it could replenish a large amount of physical strength for Cosmic Beasts.

However, the effect was very insignificant; it could only serve as a physical strength supplement.

Eating ten of them could barely increase Lin Tianwei's Mental Power a little, making it extremely cost-ineffective.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei directly put the refined energy bar into his mouth.

His powerful teeth and terrifying digestive ability allowed Lin Tianwei to easily digest the energy bar, even with its packaging.

In fact, the vast majority of Cosmic Beasts had such teeth.

This seemingly sturdy packaging was only prepared for those frugal Cosmic Beasts.

Only the poor among them would at least divide even the most ordinary energy bar into several portions.

Lin Tianwei was at least not a poor tiger; he could barely reach the point of eating one, throwing one away, and playing with one.

Naturally, he didn't need to resort to sharing this cheap refined energy bar.

He immediately chewed quickly, digesting and absorbing the powerful physical strength contained within the refined energy bar.

“Ding, congratulations Host! Talent: Mental Food (King) is active. After eating, Mental Power attribute +1!”

As a refined energy bar was completely absorbed by Lin Tianwei, his Mental Power attribute also gained a point of growth.

This increase might seem small, but it could accumulate over time, continuously Reinforcement himself, making it a Talent with infinite potential.

After Talent: Mental Food upgraded, Lin Tianwei's efficiency in gaining attribute points through eating would become even more terrifying.

This Talent would be an important cornerstone for Lin Tianwei's growth in strength.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei turned his attention to the last Talent upgraded this time: Talent: Eye of Insight (King).

Although this Talent was a detection-type Talent, it was equally important to Lin Tianwei.

Only by obtaining enough information about the target would Lin Tianwei avoid falling into a passive situation.

Thinking of this, he began to examine the spaceship he was riding in, detecting this Cosmic Beast in every sense.

“Ding, congratulations Host! After prolonged observation, you have obtained the following information about the target:

Name: Kai;

Race: Mech Clan;

Strength: Star-level 7;

Owner: Lin Tianwei;

Loyalty: 75;

Attributes: Strength 250 million, Constitution 260 million, Agility 100 million, Mental Power 30 million;

Physical State: 100% (intact);

Energy: 70% (sufficient);

Talents: Core Code (Legendary) (Incomplete), Mechanical Body (Extraordinary), Steel Defense (Extraordinary), Steadfast (Advanced);

Evaluation: Originally just an ordinary Mech Clan Slave, he underwent some magical changes due to Infection by an unknown force.”

Panel?

It was actually a panel?

Lin Tianwei didn't expect that after Talent: Eye of Insight upgraded to King, he would actually be able to see the target's panel information.

This was undoubtedly of considerable help to Lin Tianwei.

It was then that he remembered when he had just obtained his own panel,

the Talent Extraction System seemed to have said that it was possible to obtain other targets' panel information through certain powerful Talents.

But Lin Tianwei didn't expect to achieve this goal until now.

Of course.

This was mainly because Lin Tianwei felt that he didn't need the so-called panel.

Even if Infected by the Star Devouring Beast Avatar, the upper limit of Blue Star creatures was still too low, simply not worthy of being Lin Tianwei's opponent.

Knowing or not knowing the opponent's information was completely meaningless to Lin Tianwei.

The fact was just as Lin Tianwei thought; he came from Blue Star to the universe with an invincible posture.

At least for now, there was no existence that could hinder his growth.

The so-called panel could only be considered icing on the cake.

Loyalty: 75?

This number seemed unexpected, but it was entirely within Lin Tianwei's expectations.

Under normal circumstances, a Slave's loyalty could only be 100%; they simply couldn't betray their master.

From the moment the control chip was implanted, their bodies and souls had already lost their self.

It was precisely because Kai was nominally Lin Tianwei's property that his loyalty attribute could be seen on the panel.

A loyalty of 75 seemed high; it would be difficult to achieve such high loyalty in normal interpersonal interactions.

But Kai was a Slave, a Slave completely controlled by Lin Tianwei, so a mere 75 points of loyalty was somewhat unreasonable.

Coupled with the difference in race, if his loyalty was insufficient, Kai was very likely to betray him at a critical moment, becoming a hidden danger for Lin Tianwei.

Mysterious remains.

This was the answer to the problem.

As Lin Tianwei expected, although Kai gained Reinforcement after absorbing the mysterious remains, it also weakened the control chip's control over him.

Overall, it could be considered a failed Reinforcement.

After all, for a Slave, obedience was always more important than ability.

However, Lin Tianwei was not flustered at all.

Break free from his control? Backstab him?

Even if Kai had this idea, he would need the strength to do so.

The seemingly powerful Kai was nothing more than a toy in Lin Tianwei's eyes.

Before entering the Chaos Universe, Lin Tianwei could already manipulate Kai at will, not to mention that he had now obtained star gleam stone and his strength had greatly improved.

Control chip?

This was simply something dispensable.

Powerful strength was Lin Tianwei's confidence in controlling everything.

Compared to Kai's potential betrayal, Lin Tianwei was more curious about Kai's Talent: Core Code (Legendary) (Incomplete).

This was a Legendary Talent; even in an incomplete state, it was more attractive to Lin Tianwei than those low-level Talents.

Perhaps this incomplete Legendary Talent was the reason why Kai had undergone such changes.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei once again used Talent: Eye of Insight (King) to examine Kai.

He tried to obtain more information from him.

“Ding, as the observation time increased, congratulations Host! You have obtained the following information:

Talent: Core Code (Legendary) (Incomplete): Legendary Talent, incomplete (1/10000), a magical code that possesses the magical power to evolve the Mech Clan.

Note: This Talent is in an incomplete state and can only exert a very small portion of its abilities. In its complete state, it may possess abilities far exceeding Legendary level.”

1/10000?

The moment he saw the progress bar, Lin Tianwei immediately lost interest in this Talent.

This Legendary Talent seemed very tempting, but it was a Talent specifically for the Mech Clan.

Unless Lin Tianwei planned to transform himself into a machine, this Talent was of negligible use to him.

Wasting time searching for fragments of this Talent would at most result in a useful Mech Clan henchman.

Or perhaps a cool mount.

The cost-effectiveness was clearly not as good as spending time on Reinforcement himself.

Of course, if fragments of this Talent actively sought him out, Lin Tianwei wouldn't mind playing a small game of assembling building blocks.

Withdrawing his attention from Kai, Lin Tianwei looked at Tore beside him.

At this moment, Tore was fully concentrating on absorbing the Star Power scattered by Lin Tianwei in the air, using this Star Power to Reinforcement his body and the stars within his inner world.

These "waste gas" Star Power, which were worthless to Lin Tianwei, were priceless treasures to Tore.

He naturally didn't want to miss a single bit.

Due to being too engrossed in cultivation, Tore didn't notice Lin Tianwei's gaze at all.

Of course.

Even if he noticed Lin Tianwei's gaze, he probably wouldn't dare to have any thoughts.

The law of the jungle.

Let alone Lin Tianwei having no thoughts about him; even if he did have some thoughts, the only thing Tore could do was accept it.

“Ding, congratulations Host! After prolonged observation, you have obtained the following information about the target:

Name: Tore;

Race: Mart Clan;

Strength: Star-level 3;

Attributes: Strength 120 million, Constitution 80 million, Agility 70 million, Mental Power 10 million;

Physical State: 100% (perfect);

Talents: One-Eyed (Advanced), Flexible Body (Advanced), Chance (Extraordinary);

Evaluation: Without strength matching the Chance, Chance is merely a disaster.”

It must be said that this was truly a world that depended on Talent.

Tore's Talent was rubbish, perfectly matching his previous Planet Level 9 strength.

If it weren't for his good luck in meeting Lin Tianwei, he might never have had the opportunity to advance to Star-level in his entire life.

However, even such a weak Tore had a very magical Talent.

Talent: Chance (Extraordinary)?

Lin Tianwei looked at Tore with interest, trying to discern the truth of this Talent.

“Ding, as the observation time increased, congratulations Host! You have obtained the following information:

Talent: Chance (Extraordinary): Extraordinary Talent. Under the arrangement of fate, you will more easily encounter Chance.

Note: This Talent is triggered randomly, and the Chances encountered are also completely random.

Warning: Not all Chances are gifts from fate.”

Just looking at the text description, Talent: Chance (Extraordinary) was undoubtedly a very powerful Talent.

It even seemed to have a protagonist's halo about it.

This also explained why Tore was so lucky, not only meeting him and becoming his guide at the Transfer Station.

But also encountering the Legendary Nascent Chaos Universe not long after.

However, the most troublesome aspect of this Talent was its complete randomness.

It was precisely because of this reason that Lin Tianwei gave up the idea of killing the beast to seize its Talent.

A completely uncontrollable Talent was simply a disaster for Lin Tianwei.

He didn't want to trigger a Chance of strong enemies delivering treasures while he was in secluded cultivation.

At such a time, such a “Chance” would simply be a nightmare for Lin Tianwei.

Chance might be important, but a randomly triggered Chance could very well be a trap.

This was also why there was a warning after this Talent.

Clearly, this was a Talent with both pros and cons.

In fact, at certain times, it could be a Talent that would cost you your life.

Take the Chaos Universe incident this time, for example. It seemed that Tore was lucky to encounter a super great Chance like the Nascent Chaos Universe that could make him take off.

But due to insufficient strength, this Chaos Universe not only failed to help him grow but instead became his nightmare.

A nightmare enough to take his life.

If Tore's luck hadn't been good enough to encounter him just as he came out of secluded cultivation.

At this moment, he might have already perished, turning into a speck of dust in the Chaos Universe. (End of this chapter)
