Zongman: Evolution Paradise

Jolyne propped her chin on her hand and suddenly realized that she had been clinging to too many powerful figures lately.

Chapter 331 Liu Fu's Generosity

Next is the skill [Leadership Qualities].

The goal of this skill is to enhance charm and accelerate the increase in favorability.

Jolyne bought a Crimson Sword from a normal historical world and a token of the Imperial Guard from a mid-level martial arts world from Paradise.

Skill - Leadership - lv10

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...

Special Effects - lv5 - Great Han Succubus: With a dragon-like face, you attract people from all directions. In the eyes of some who are worried about their future, your leadership charisma is becoming increasingly extraordinary.

Special Effect - lv10 - Status Oppression: People whose status, strength, and background are inferior to yours are more likely to subconsciously obey your words.

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?

After the materials were added, the two special effects of [Leadership Temperament] Awakening looked pretty good according to the description.

[Great Han Succubus] has expanded the original skill effect of [Leadership Aura], allowing Jolyne not only to accelerate the cultivation of her subordinates' favorability, but also to attract people who are "worried about their future" to become her subordinates.

It is an essential skill for starting an organization.

As for [status oppression], there's not much to say; it's used quite directly in various situations.

However, the use of [Leadership Aura] requires sufficient Charisma attribute to bring it to fruition. Jolyne's Charisma is currently low, but perhaps in the future he will be able to issue commands to the people of the world like an emperor.

The remaining options are [Disguise] and [Lingbo Weibu].

Skill - Disguise - lv10

Description: Sometimes, pretending isn't for the sake of pretending, but for the sake of looking cool.

Effects: The black smoke that wraps around oneself has many effects, such as concealing one's true name.

In the mode where the park forces players to display their nicknames, this skill can also hide the player's own nickname.

Special Effect - lv5 - Melting Night: The black smoke surrounding you can merge you into the shadows, allowing you to pass through most substances while walking in the shadows.

Special Effects - lv10 - Mystery: Mystery is your best camouflage. When you are surrounded by black smoke, even the flashing light of a blade will be obscured.

Bonus: None

Conditions of use: None

Skill - Lingbo Weibu - lv10

Description: It's not a martial arts manual, but rather comes from a world of martial arts where spiritual energy is reviving.

Effect: When spiritual energy revives, this footwork, which is based on the sixty-four hexagrams of the I Ching, also takes on a touch of ancient charm. The Lingbo Weibu (Light Steps on Waves) not only allows one to avoid the calamities brought by enemies, but also to cultivate one's own power.

Special Effect - lv5 - Eliminate Danger: You are able to better perceive the dangers posed by enemies during battle.

Special Effects - lv10 - Disaster Avoidance: You may be able to gain some premonition before disaster strikes.

Bonus: +1 Agility per level (bonus not exceeding 30 Agility)

Usage requirements: Agility 10, has legs?

The two special effects of [Disguise] are entirely designed for stealth assassinations, while the two special effects of [Lingbo Weibu] are entirely focused on avoiding danger.

Especially with [Disaster Averted], the abstract description and abstract ability left Jolyne unsure of the extent to which this effect could predict disasters.

Perhaps someone's murderous intent towards oneself could trigger this.

Perhaps it will only trigger if a meteorite suddenly falls from the sky and hits Jolyne, who is sleeping in her apartment, tomorrow.

[Leadership Aura] and [Abyssal Gaze] had already been upgraded to level 5. In order to upgrade these four existing skills to the maximum level, Jolyne has already spent 13000 Paradise Coins out of her 25027 Paradise Coins.

Of the 10000 Paradise Coins spent on upgrading skills, the remaining 3000 were spent on various materials. If Jolyne hadn't found some substitutes among the various ability seeds, the cost would have been even higher.

"The amusement park coins are really hard to spend."

Considering that the growth of various talents in the future will require feeding more max-level skills.

Jolyne increasingly felt that her wish to collect a full set of equipment was a distant dream.

Little did he know that ordinary players would be even more vulnerable to his actions of directly maxing out all four skills.

Everyone saves up money to buy a skill, levels up through various progression methods, and then encounters danger and opportunity to finally awaken a special effect and defeat enemies in desperate situations...

Who levels up to the maximum level like that?!

Is it because seeing no max-level skills on the player's panel triggers OCD?

"Continue to upgrade, get another max-level pupil skill and use the talent - Eye Aperture first."

Jolyne's consciousness connected with the workshop, and a few seconds later, a handful of power seeds appeared in her hand.

Hmm... one.

Even when Ryufu was being punished by Paradise in the Fate world, he could still pull out [Capricorn] and [Hungry Ghost], which shows just how wealthy he was.

There were twenty or thirty ability seeds that were released.

The abilities are broadly categorized into swordsmanship, witchcraft, and spirits/spirits.

Moreover, most of the bonuses are to intelligence and charisma.

Hmm... Liu Fu's swordsmanship is flying sword.

The only downside is that equipment and items are locked in the amusement park space due to mode restrictions. Apart from the arrow that Liu Fu took out himself, Jolyne couldn't find any equipment or items.

However, seeing the exceptional talents among these ability seeds, which shone brightly and stood out from ordinary abilities, Jolyne forgave Ryufu's carelessness.

They were, after all, just strangers who had just met, and Liu Fu's generosity should not be criticized any further.

On the contrary, this benefactor who traveled all the way from the Ming Dynasty to present him with such a generous gift...

Xu Lun felt a little guilty for not treating Liu Fu to a hot meal before sending him off.

Even knowing they'd die, they still came to hunt them down...

Hakifor...you bastard...

It was truly... so delightful.

Upon seeing what Jolyne held, several strange creatures' gazes drifted over, seemingly casually.

"Master~"

This is a human-faced dog, its eyes fixed intently on the power seed in Jolyne's hand, its fluffy blue tail swaying like a windmill behind it.

"There's only one left." Jolyne picked one out and fed it to the human-faced dog. The dog swallowed it, mumbling "Thank you, Master" indistinctly.

The other three ghost stories had also come up, and Jolyne gave them all one as well, treating them equally.

Liu Fu wasn't born a strongman; he also possesses some weak abilities that he overuses.

Jolyne categorized these ability seeds according to their usage standards.

Those that I need to use right now, those that I'm sure I won't use to train others, those that I don't know who I'll give them to and that I'm storing in the workshop, and those that, like [Capricorn], have disgusting usage conditions and can only be used as materials.

After categorizing them, Jolyne had only four ability seeds left.

They consist of one eye technique and three talents.

Jolyne first put the eye technique into her mouth. The green power seed melted instantly upon entering her mouth, causing a glimmer of azure sky to appear in Jolyne's eyes.

Chapter 332 Eye Point

Upon opening the player panel, the description of this eye technique has already appeared in the skill list.

Skill - Glaucoma - lv1 (Usage conditions not met)

Description: Aside from conjunctivitis and cataracts, there is another disease in this world called glaucoma.

Effect: The eyes contain the mysterious light of the azure sky, and the pupils possess the wondrous beauty of the Taiyi Green Mountain.

Bonus: +2 Intelligence per level (Intelligence bonus cannot exceed 80 points).

Requirements: Intelligence 40, and a foundation in Taoist pupil-type supernatural abilities.

"This doesn't seem like a skill I could access at my level," Jolyne remarked upon seeing the requirement of 40 Intelligence for its use.

He remembered that the maximum increase to the intelligence attribute from [Taoist Heavenly Eye] was only 20, and the usage conditions for this skill were twice that of [Taoist Heavenly Eye].

Of course, attributes are not simply addition operations.

It is more like an exponent, but it also incorporates a lot of special calculations.

Intelligence: 38

After glancing at his current Intelligence, Jolyne immediately used two free attribute points to raise his Intelligence to the level required to use [Glaucoma].

"So what is the effect?"

Jolyne activated [Glaucoma], and his two eyes slowly changed from black to blue.

This blue color is like the blue sky; just seeing it evokes a sense of awe and inviolability in one's heart.

"His eyes possess the profound mystery of azure divine light, and his pupils have the wondrous beauty of the Taiyi Green Mountain."

As Xu Lun recited the effects description, he suddenly had an epiphany and understood how to use it for glaucoma.

Looking at the group of strange creatures who were chattering and discussing who had received the most powerful ability seed, Jolyne noticed a gray mist, the exact opposite of the blue, rapidly wrapping around them.

And then... a cry of "Ouch!"

The human-faced dog's pupils dilated, its usual wagging tail stopped abruptly, and it began to slowly half-lie on the ground. Covering its tail, it made a strange expression that seemed to want to laugh and cry, saying, "I have a cramp."

"You're kidding, right? Ghost stories can cause convulsions?"

Mary expressed disbelief and tried to grab the human-faced dog's tail.

Then, her outstretched hand transformed into a doll arm with clearly visible joints.

"It hurts so much, how did it turn back?"

Mary was a little terrified when her true form was exposed. She was still very embarrassed to have others see her doll body. She wanted to change back, but found that her doll arms were unresponsive as if they were malfunctioning.

At that moment, Hanako, who was watching the commotion, suddenly clutched her stomach and clenched her thighs tightly, feeling like she had eaten something bad and was about to have diarrhea.

"Owner."

Sadako had already discovered the mastermind behind it all, and she forced a smile and let out a coquettish tone while maintaining a composed expression.

Xu Lun then withdrew his gaze, and the azure spiritual energy swept away the gray energy.

"The eye technique actually causes calamity..."

Jolyne was pleasantly surprised by this eye technique.

The high-level power of calamity, once developed, will far surpass the low-level ability of the Yin-Yang Eye.

Hmm... the idea of ​​a catastrophe spell is just delightful.

Then came the continuous upgrades and finding two sufficiently powerful special effects for this skill.

"Glaucoma increases intelligence by 2 per level. Once I reach the maximum level, my intelligence will directly reach 60 points... My strength attribute has only just increased to 30 points. Well, it seems that Black Flash won't be able to be unlocked for a while."

This skill requires feeding [Eye Points], Jolyne glanced at her Paradise Coins balance.

Amusement Park Coins: 12027

"That should be enough, right?"

Joren opened the Paradise Mall and began entering search terms such as "Taiyi," "Qingshan," and "Calamity" one by one.

After some time, the newly opened Paradise Mall was quietly shut down.

In Taoist philosophy, Taiyi represents the origin and essence of all things in the universe, namely "Tao".

His skills are not up to par for someone of his level.
