Zongman: Evolution Paradise

Skills - Leadership Qualities

Description: If you do not abandon me, I am willing to become your godfather!

Effect: Increases personal leadership qualities. Based on one's base charisma, it makes it easier to increase favorability with the organizations, legions, and kingdoms one leads, and harder to decrease favorability...

Bonus: +1 Charisma per level (maximum bonus of 50)

Usage conditions: You already have leadership qualities, so you at least need to become a leader first, right?

"So it's true that it's impossible to get a Heroic Spirit's Noble Phantasm from this kind of treasure chest?"

After reviewing the details, Jolyne handed the two skill books to Yukino Yukinoshita, indicating that she should also take a look so she could make a choice later.

Each treasure chest is worth 3000 Paradise Coins, which is enough to max out a skill, so it's not bad.

Both skills unlocked are usable, especially the skill "Leadership Aura," which increases the Charisma attribute and accelerates the increase in the favorability of the forces under one's command, while also reducing the decrease in the favorability of the forces under one's command.

It's a bit convoluted, so let me give you a simple example.

Mary is a ghost story under Jolyne's command, and let's assume her current favorability towards Jolyne is 80%.

Beating her up will increase your favorability by 5 points, while ignoring her for a long time will decrease it by 5 points.

The purpose of this skill is to increase one's charisma as a leader. Under the same circumstances, beating up Mary might increase her favorability by 6 points, while ignoring her for a long time would reduce the decrease in favorability to 4 points.

Simply put, it's easier to cultivate goodwill towards subordinates.

Organizations, legions, and kingdoms, on the other hand, require users to continuously improve their charisma attribute.

Only with sufficient charisma can one's leadership qualities be conveyed to a wider audience.

Jolyne has quite a few creations to nurture, and this skill is quite good.

However, "sharp mind" and "leadership charisma" are just inherent skills of the corresponding Servants; it seems that the most crucial Noble Phantasm of the Servants is impossible to obtain.

Thinking this, Jolyne looked at Yukino Yukinoshita.

She also opened Gilles de Rais's treasure chest.

[You have opened Gilles de Rais's treasure chest]

[You have earned 3000 Paradise Coins]

[You have obtained the special - Snail Annihilation City Text]

After checking what she had drawn, Yukino Yukinoshita's expression was a little strange. She said awkwardly, "Jolyne, do you want to take a look?"

Then she noticed that Jolyne was looking at her with a blank expression.

Because the amusement park space was sealed off, the miscellaneous items from the treasure chests all appeared outside.

Therefore, Jolyne saw two items explode on the ground after Yukino Yukinoshita opened the treasure chest.

Why are there two?

Jolyne asked expressionlessly.

"Huh? What two items?"

"Besides Paradise Coins, why did you manage to get two other items?"

"Treasure chests are supposed to yield two or three rewards, right? Is there anything strange about that?"

Jolyne: "..."

Looking back at the treasure chests he opened, apart from the mutated treasure chests of Daki and Gyutaro, he never got a third reward. As for the treasure chests of Daki and Gyutaro, that was because there were already two enemies in them!

"Yukinoshita, how much luck do you have?"

Jolyne asked seriously.

Yukino Yukinoshita tilted her head in surprise and said, "Only a little."

"Then what about my two points of luck?"

Jolyne really wants to ask Paradise.

Chapter 278 Luoyan City Textbook

Seeing Jolyne's expression of disbelief, Yukino Yukinoshita realized something.

"You didn't actually think that treasure chests could only yield two rewards, did you?"

Yukino Yukinoshita's lips curved into a smile.

Jolyne didn't want to answer and looked at the last treasure chest, belonging to Kiritsugu Emiya.

This is the very last chance to prove your luck!

"Open it for me!"

Jolyne opened the last remaining treasure chest without any hesitation.

Then, the light faded, and what appeared before the two was a skill book.

"Hehehehehehe..."

The sound of mocking laughter made Jolyne clench her fists.

Then he was stunned, because how could Yukino Yukinoshita make such a bizarre mocking sound?

Upon hearing the sound, Jolyne and Yukino Yukinoshita simultaneously looked at the object emitting the laughter.

It is shaped like a book, with a heavy cover that reveals two textures: the smoothness of human skin and the viscosity of tree sap. The source of the laughter is the book's cover, where there is a pure white face, like a ukiyo-e print, with only a mouth.

Looking into the mouth, you can see overlapping starry skies and deep sea.

It continued, "Mortal, if you lack luck, I can help you strengthen yourself. All you need is this woman's soul as a sacrifice. How about this first-time discount, hehe~"

"What the hell?"

Jolyne asked Yukino Yukinoshita.

"I don't know, I was just about to show you."

Thinking about the specific data of the two rewards she had drawn, Yukino Yukinoshita said a little embarrassedly, "Actually, having many rewards isn't necessarily a good thing. I feel like I can't use either of these things."

"???"

Jolyne didn't speak, but frowned and picked up the book to start looking at the introduction to the park.

"Special prefix?"

"The R'lyeh Text? Cthulhu?"

"The characteristics of being alive?"

Jolyne was filled with questions.

This is a special prefix!

Is this something you can get from a treasure chest?

Yukino Yukinoshita, what exactly did your bit of luck do to the paradise?

Moreover, the description of this item is permeated with Cthulhu vibes.

The enhancement is a special kind of spirituality; intelligence imbued with spirituality allows one to see more.

Isn't this the kind of "inspiration" found in Western fantasy?

The kind of thing that drives you crazy just by looking at the past...

"Mortal, I am hungry. Give me this woman beside me, and I will grant you strength..."

The words from the Luoyan City cultist's mouth came out again, but they sounded so artificial that even an eighty-year-old woman wouldn't believe them.

"Jolyne, you wouldn't do that, would you?"

Yukino Yukinoshita got up and approached the door.

"……What do you think?"

Jolyne asked in return, then picked up a paving stone from the ground and stuffed it into its mouth.

"According to the description in that book, testing whether you are being controlled is a reasonable and legitimate behavior."

Seeing that Jolyne had already begun trying to stuff the sofa into the mouth of the book, Yukino Yukinoshita handed over a chair and said seriously, "Now you have dispelled my doubts with your actions."

This book is indeed very special; its tiny mouth could actually fit a sofa.

"What is this? Mortal, do not feed me anything without spirit!"

Ignoring it, Jolyne continued to observe her experiment.

"Limited perspective on the outside world..."

"mortal!"

"Has a certain level of intelligence, common sense, and persuasive communication skills..."

"Mortal! I am!"

"Functionally...could it be used as a trash can?"

"Mortals! I! Want!"

Before it could finish speaking, Jolyne picked up another paving stone and stuffed it into its mouth.

After several attempts, the book proved that it actually had no ability to fight back.

"What are you planning to do with this?"

Yukino Yukinoshita asked from the side.

Although the description of the amusement park is all wrong, this book at least has a special prefix.

"Let's take a look at it first."

In response, Jolyne casually tossed the Snail Annihilation City Text into the workshop.

The equipment for the living is still too strange.

Despite both [Humanoid Girl Mutual Aid Manual] and [Snail Annihilation City Textbook] having special prefixes and book-like shapes, the former doesn't have this inexplicable "activity".

To prevent unforeseen events such as the sudden resurgence of the Cthulhu mythos from this book, the source of wisdom, specific functions, and negative effects of the [Snail City Text] need to be thoroughly studied before its use.

Ai Haibara and Jorogumo, who work in the workshop, will complete this task.

With its special prefix, Jolyne believed that the book's specific functions would not disappoint him.

"Miss Yukinoshita, I agree to your relationship with Saber."
