Grasping an elemental form?
Grasping it.
Could it be that…
Everyone in the group was incomparably shocked.
Hu Tao:Hey, Su Han, you're kidding, right? If an ordinary person masters Haki, they can actually grab elemental attacks?
Keqing:Doesn't that mean our elemental skills are useless against people with Haki?
Zhongli:It is not that they would be useless, but rather that one would possess the power to resist them.
If Armament Haki could grasp an elementalized person, then did that also mean Armament Haki could destroy an elemental skill?
Beidou:If that's really the case, then that's too terrifying.
Why were people with Visions called Allogenes?
It was because they were, in essence, candidates for godhood!
And now, the people in their group possessed a power that could contend with the elements.
This was a very frightening prospect.
Su Han:It's just a guess on my part. We'll have to see the actual results to be sure. But I think there shouldn't be much of a difference.
Ningguang:In that case, everyone should begin cultivating it. Let's see what the effects are.
Keqing:Mm, I'll start training tonight. I still have to deal with the Treasure Hoarder situation today. That fellow Carmen is actually quite useful; he directly handed over a pledge of loyalty. I now have the locations of several Treasure Hoarder strongholds. I need to go out and clean them up.
Xiangling:I have to cook, too…
Hu Tao:A pity, I'm also busy sending someone off.
Beidou:Oh right, I almost forgot to tell you all something. After becoming a Level 2 member, you can get an independent mission every half-month, so you don't have to compete with others. As for the rewards, I don't know yet.
Kaedehara Kazuha:There's such a thing?
Keqing:If that's the case, we should let those who have already completed missions level up to Level 2 first.
Ningguang:If you're not busy, Beidou, why don't you do it? It would provide us with some intelligence on the feature.
Beidou:That's what I was thinking. Hold on.
Aboard The Alcor, in the captain's quarters, Beidou had just taken a shower and changed her clothes.
She had been quite active in the jiangshi world, and her clothes had gotten soaked.
"Let's see what this private mission is all about."
Beidou opened the Multiverse Mission Group interface.
Now, in her status bar, there was indeed a private mission available.
She clicked "Accept."
A dialogue box appeared in front of her.
[Do you wish to accept the private mission?]
[Hint: Once a private mission is accepted, you will be directly pulled into the mission world and can only return upon completion!]
[Note: The difficulty of the mission world is random, but it will not exceed your own group member level!]
"Yes!"
Without a second thought, Beidou accepted it.
The next moment, she was pulled into an unfamiliar world.
She was surrounded by dilapidated skyscrapers.
The air was filled with a foul stench.
Just then, Beidou received the mission prompt.
[Kill 100 zombies. You will automatically return upon mission completion!]
"Zombies? What's that?" Beidou frowned. She had a feeling that name didn't bode well.
Soon, the sound of hurried footsteps caught her attention.
Almost instantly, dozens of zombies ran out from an abandoned building.
Some had broken legs and were constantly hopping.
Beidou could tell at a glance that these things were not human. She immediately wreathed her body in lightning, activating her protective shield.
With just a single dash, twenty zombies were killed.
[Hint: You have killed 20 zombies. 80 remaining.]
"They're this weak?" Beidou shook her head, looking at the frail-looking creatures that had fallen to the ground.
About half an hour later, she killed the last zombie and finally received the system notification.
[Ding! Congratulations on completing the private mission. Mission difficulty: 1-Star. You have been awarded 10,000 points!]
[Ding! Congratulations on completing the private mission. You have obtained: Low-Grade Gene-Modification Agent (1x)!]
"Huh? What's a gene-modification agent?"
Before Beidou could get a clear look, she was teleported away.
In the Multiverse Mission Group chat.
Beidou:I've already completed the mission. Let me tell you about it. When I accepted the mission, I was told it wouldn't exceed my group level. The mission was to kill 100 zombies. They were all just a bunch of weaklings, though they ran pretty fast. I took care of them in half an hour.
Ningguang:And the reward?
Beidou:Just ten thousand points, and something called a Low-Grade Gene-Modification Agent!
Sucrose, who had been lurking in the chat, was immediately drawn by Beidou's words.
Genes? Could it be something that enhances the human body?
Sucrose:Sister Beidou, could you please post a screenshot of it?
A moment later, a screenshot was posted in the group.
[Item Name]: Low-Grade Gene-Modification Agent
[Effect]: Can improve the body and repair genetic defects after consumption.
[Note]: Single-use item.
Su Han:This is used to modify the body. It's basically useless for masters, since their bodies have already been tempered to their peak. It's decent for people who aren't that strong.
Ningguang:Can it be replicated?
Su Han:You'll have to ask Sucrose about that. We don't have that kind of ability.
Beidou:Then I'll have someone send it over to you. The people on my ship don't need it anyway. If you can research a replica, just give me ten bottles in return.
Sucrose:Mhm! Thank you for your trust, Sister Beidou. I will do my best!
