【Ding, your talent level has increased.】
Over a month later.
Lan Qingyou had just finished organizing the theoretical data she needed. After casually drinking a bottle of talent ascension potion, the voice of the world consciousness rang in her ears.
Looking at the documents in her hand, Lan Qingyou froze for a moment before happily putting down the potion bottle.
It was no wonder she was so happy.
This bottle was from the third batch of talent ascension potions she had produced.
If she hadn't obtained so many materials from the Beast Emperor, she wouldn't have been able to support this kind of consumption, drinking them like water.
But then again, wasn't this also a way to prevent people from progressing?
Though it didn't matter much to Lan Qingyou.
Putting down the potion bottle, Lan Qingyou immediately opened her personal profile to check her newly upgraded talent.
【Talent: Starshine (S)】
1: Can reduce own body weight to achieve a floating effect;
2: Can reduce the weight of objects to achieve a floating effect;
3: Can manipulate gravity within a ten-meter radius of oneself.
Hmm?
Looking at her talent, Lan Qingyou was stunned.
The previous weight limits had disappeared, and the entry about consuming 1 mana point per minute was also gone. In their place was the gravity manipulation entry?
A ten-meter radius might not seem like much, but it was far more convenient for Lan Qingyou.
Before, when she threw stones, she had to attach her talent to them, and then deactivate it after throwing so the stones would return to their original weight to increase their impact.
But now, with gravity manipulation, it wasn't so troublesome.
If she kept her talent active, everything within the radius would be in a zero-gravity state. Once an object flew out of the radius, it would immediately regain its gravity.
Since this radius centered on herself, and there was no longer any mana consumption, she didn't have to worry about the zero-gravity point disappearing and exposing her.
Furthermore, in this gravity field, anyone trying to intrude by any means would have to face zero gravity.
Under these conditions, even long-range super attacks wouldn't be able to kill her.
Because gravity could be changed at any time.
A distance of ten meters was enough for her to react.
Of course, this was just her literal personal interpretation. She still needed to experiment.
So, Lan Qingyou stopped her research, floated out of her shelter, and began experimenting with her new talent.
After a round of testing, Lan Qingyou found that it was more or less as she had imagined.
First, it truly didn't require mana consumption, which was the best news for her.
Second, under the premise that her own weight was zero, this gravity field didn't affect her no matter how the gravity shifted.
Clearly, this gave her defensive capabilities a qualitative leap.
Although Lan Qingyou hadn't really been injured since the incident with the Night Swallow, taking precautionary measures was still necessary.
After all, not being injured didn't mean she was invincible.
"Not bad. Good news just keeps coming every day."
After trying out the gravity manipulation, Lan Qingyou returned to her shelter, satisfied.
The good news she mentioned wasn't just about her talent; it was also because the research she wanted to do was basically complete. All that remained was the production phase.
Lan Qingyou had completed this research by incorporating some of Alisa's biological magic.
Although it wasn't yet perfect, it was at least an initial version.
Subsequent versions like 1.0 or 2.0 could be researched slowly and systematically.
If all else failed, she could just toss it to the other witches to research.
After all, collective effort was key. The imagination of hundreds of thousands of people was clearly greater than that of just one person.
Thinking of this, Lan Qingyou filled a tub with bathwater, wanting to relax.
However, just as her foot stepped into the wooden bathtub, she was interrupted by the voice of the world consciousness.
【Ding, good afternoon, transmigrators.】
【Though it may be abrupt, we will now summarize some of the major events that have occurred on this land over the past year.】
【First, the Transmigrator Union launched a large-scale war against the Witch race of the Abandoned Land;】
【Second, the Knights' Guild launched a large-scale surprise attack against the swamp lizardmen;】
【Third, the merman race, in league with sirens and banshees, launched an indiscriminate attack against the Raging Waves Fleet and the merfolk;】
【Fourth, the winged people and the snake-people joined forces to attack the barbarian encampment;】
【Finally, just now, the Demon Hunter organization and the werewolves joined forces to ambush the Vampire True Ancestor, Vivian Nadasdy Bathory;】
【Having met the requirement of five large-scale wars, the 'Racial War' is now beginning.】
【Every kill of a member of another race will grant one attribute point.】
...
See? What did I say?
Gu raising 2.0 has arrived.
After hearing the world consciousness's announcement, Lan Qingyou slowly sank into the bathtub.
Of the over twenty billion people who had transmigrated from Blue Star, only a few billion remained.
Yet the world consciousness didn't care at all, treating them like expendable consumables.
If it weren't for the fact that some people, including herself, had indeed received benefits from the world consciousness, Lan Qingyou would have thought that it had specifically snatched them from Blue Star just to watch a performance of a thousand ways to die.
With that thought, Lan Qingyou took out her card.
While she wasn't very familiar with some of the other names, she was quite clear about the terms True Ancestor and Raging Waves Fleet.
The True Ancestor went without saying; Vivian's name had been explicitly stated.
The Raging Waves Fleet, on the other hand, was an organization the Hierophant had formed that liked to roam the seas.
Its members were mostly composed of fishermen, anglers, sailors, and people who loved adventure and excitement.
She hadn't realized that besides the Witch race, so many others had suffered various attacks.
Thinking about it that way, her heart felt slightly more at ease.
But speaking of which, how long had it been since she checked the group messages?
A month? Two months?
High Priestess: "Kill one person, get one attribute point. This will definitely drive people crazy."
As soon as she entered, Lan Qingyou saw a familiar screen name pop up in the chat window.
The Star: "More like, why are you still alive? Weren't you ambushed?"
High Priestess: "How could a mere ambush kill me? I'm chatting with you while fighting right now."
The Sun: "Impressive. As expected of Your Eminence."
Empress: "I didn't expect those Demon Hunters, who claim to specialize in killing evolved beings, to actually join forces with one."
Chariot: "Not surprising. That lot were never decent people to begin with. If they didn't come and go like ghosts, they would have been beaten to death long ago."
Justice: "I don't think it's that simple. You have to realize that werewolves and vampires have been bitter rivals who couldn't stand each other since they first appeared, just like the legends on Blue Star."
The Moon: "True. The war between them has lasted even longer than the Abandoned War; it's just that the scale hasn't been as large."
Magician: "I say, aren't we getting off-topic? Let's talk about the world consciousness."
