Good grief.
Currently, each level only grants a single attribute point.
Doesn't this mean it's the equivalent of 320 levels?
It seemed the benefits of evolution were massive—so massive that anyone would be tempted.
And that wasn't even counting the corrections, awakenings, and other bonuses.
Justice: "Like the Wheel of Fortune said, are we leaving the starter village?"
After calming his heart, Chu Yuan sent the message with trembling hands.
The Tower: "I think that's a fair way to put it."
The Emperor: "The Tree Elf also gets 320 points, but unlike the Witch, it focuses more on Agility and less on Stamina."
Justice: "So there are differences between the races as well."
The Tower: "Different focuses, which is normal."
Justice: "True. So, did your Origin Witch and Origin Tree Elf forms get any extra bonuses?"
The Emperor: "Mine got an additional 50 points in Agility."
The Tower: "I got an additional 50 points in Spirit. Also, any Witch within my lineage—meaning anyone who becomes a Witch using a potion I made—is unable to harm me."
Lan Qingyou told them that much, but she didn't tell them everything; she kept the matter of the 'Witch's Curse' to herself.
After all, it was better to keep an ace up her sleeve, especially something that functioned as a trump card.
If a Witch from her lineage ever came looking for trouble, it would actually be quite convenient.
At least she could easily eliminate such a person.
So the focuses really were different.
Chu Yuan understood as he saw the answers from Lan Qingyou and Gu Xiaobei.
The Emperor: "Huh? What's that? Why didn't I get something like that?"
The Tower: "Probably because I added a drop of my own blood during the brewing process."
The Emperor: "You can do that?"
The Tower: "Of course."
The Emperor: "Then I'm going to try it again."
Justice: "Wait, Emperor. Does the Tree Elf have any skill awakenings like the Witch? Any corrections in terms of knowledge?"
The Emperor: "I have a skill called Rapid Growth. When used, Agility increases by 100 points for 30 seconds, and it causes surrounding plants to grow rapidly. It's basically a burst skill."
The Emperor: "As for knowledge, it's more focused on plant-type subjects. I suspect this might be related to an Elf Farm game I used to play back on Blue Star."
Empress: "@The Emperor, make a Breath of the Tree Elf for me."
Righteousness: "Me too."
The Emperor: "Alright. One serving requires Dragon King blood *1, Life Sap *1, and Knowledge Sap *1. Since I want to experiment with what the Tower boss said about adding blood, you guys don't have any dietary restrictions regarding that, right?"
Seeing Gu Xiaobei agree, Jiang Lan and Riesling quickly indicated they had no objections.
At most, it just meant they couldn't attack Gu Xiaobei, but they had never planned to attack their 'chef' anyway.
Lan Qingyou was also taken aback when she saw the items Gu Xiaobei listed.
To be honest, when she was explaining earlier, she had intended to mention the dosages as well.
But then she remembered that her dosages were calculated for brewing potions; someone mixing a cocktail would surely know their own required ratios better than she did.
While a single drop of Dragon King blood could trigger evolution, who knew how others would handle it during their own modifications?
However, seeing that the materials for Gu Xiaobei's Breath of the Tree Elf were largely the same, there was no need to offer a reminder.
It made sense.
Who would be foolish enough to use two drops of such precious materials for a single item?
Especially when there were system prompts available.
That would just be a lack of common sense.
Justice: "While you're at it, help me make these five servings too."
Chu Yuan also jumped in to participate.
【Congratulations to individual 'Vivian Nadasdy Bathory' for creating a new life-ascending mana liquid: 'Phantom of the Foggy Capital (World-class)'. Reward: Magic Tool Crafting level +1.】
【Congratulations to individual 'Vivian Nadasdy Bathory' for evolving from Blue Star human to Phantom Mist Vampire.】
【Individual 'Vivian Nadasdy Bathory' has become the first person in the history of the Kalim continent to evolve into a 'Phantom Mist Vampire'. Having received recognition from the world consciousness, the race has ascended again to 'True Ancestor'. Reward: A treasure of the alchemy world, the world tool 'Beguiling Lantern'.】
Gu Xiaobei's business had just concluded when the High Priestess's notification arrived. This wasn't a bad thing, though.
After all, more races meant more possibilities.
It wouldn't be very fun if the whole world were just Witches.
She just hadn't expected the High Priestess to know how to mix drinks as well.
One had to realize that this kind of mixing was fundamentally different from the bartending on Blue Star.
Gu Xiaobei could mix a world-class drink because she had the relevant knowledge and experience.
Did the High Priestess have that kind of knowledge and experience too?
Lan Qingyou had guessed correctly; Vivian did indeed have that knowledge.
In fact, Lan Qingyou didn't know that while Vivian excelled at making 'power banks' like magic crystals, she didn't study in a focused way like Lan Qingyou and the others. Instead, her learning was incredibly broad.
She would learn whatever interested her, and she happened to be exceptionally gifted—learning things at a glance.
The only problem was that her passion was often short-lived; once the initial excitement passed, she lost interest.
So, in a sense, the High Priestess was one of the rare universal talents in the villa who knew a little bit of everything.
"What's going on? How did two new races appear in a row?"
"Is a Tree Elf the kind of Tree Elf I'm thinking of?"
"Who knows."
"Anyway, I just hope that Phantom Mist Vampire race isn't what I think it is. Otherwise, I can't even imagine the bloodbath that will erupt in human society."
"No need to be so pessimistic. Everyone is just trying their best to survive."
"How many people do you think can actually evolve into a new race? In the end, humans will still be the majority."
"That's something to keep in mind."
"Mom! I want to be a Tree Elf! I want to be a Tree Elf!"
"I don't care, I want to be a vampire. Being cool is a lifetime matter."
"Witches are pretty good too. I like researching alchemy."
With the successive appearance of new races, the world channel became lively once again.
Although someone seemed to be trying to stir up trouble in the middle of it, they were quickly drowned out by the massive crowd discussing the new races.
After all, who wouldn't want to increase their strength?
Not to mention the prospect of becoming an ageless, immortal being.
The Tower: "I didn't expect the High Priestess to be the one to pull it off first. I thought it would be Righteousness, since he likes brewing so much."
Back in the group, Lan Qingyou, completely unaware of the outside world's reaction, expressed her surprise.
Riesling gave a reply immediately.
Righteousness: "I like brewing, not mixing drinks. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked the Emperor. But anyway, this fits me as a tree-planter perfectly, so it's not really a loss."
The Tower: "You can only evolve once in your life. Didn't you want to create a race you actually liked?"
Righteousness: "Not really. Whenever I think about it, I just imagine becoming a treant or something, which would basically mean giving up being human. A Tree Elf is fine. They're a long-lived race, and living a bit longer isn't a bad thing."
High Priestess: "Hahaha, isn't there a saying that people who live too long eventually don't want to live anymore?"
Vivian was in a great mood after becoming a True Ancestor. She gave up on sleeping and stayed up to chat.
