#246 - Chapter 246 Inheritance.1

“Inheritance? Dr. He's experiment?”

Fu Tantan had heard Yu Ding mention when he reached level four that upon reaching level five, he could participate in an experiment codenamed "Inheritance" by Professor He Ruijin, leaving behind his own legacy.

At the time, he didn't pay much attention. Inheritance couldn't awaken Xiao Jin anyway; he'd rather search for her in dreams.

All dreams are connected, and powerless, he could only believe this statement of unknown truth.

“Once you reach level five, you can choose one of your abilities to pass down. Since it's inheritance, it must be possible for others to use it.”

Yu Ding continued:

“By copying Xiao Qi's skill onto Xiao Jin, she can be saved.”

Inheritance is leaving behind one's own ability, and Fu Tantan only had one ability: replication.

If it were him, he could certainly enable others to replicate the abilities of others!

In fact, Rogue's "Freedom" ability must contain the skill "Immunity to Abnormal Statuses." Yu Ding wanted to tell Fu Tantan about this when he appeared.

But Yu Ding only learned after contacting Rogue that "Freedom" was actually an active skill.

“If ‘Freedom’ cannot be freely switched on and off, then it is not free at all.” — Rogue

Xiao Jin, asleep, couldn't possibly use an active skill, so Yu Ding didn't tell Fu Tantan about it.

Now, Qi Jing has acquired this passive immunity skill, which doesn't require subjective triggering, and can definitely awaken Xiao Jin.

Gou Dehao sighed from the side, “Unfortunately, reaching level five relies too much on luck.”

“No, it doesn't rely on luck! I can definitely reach level five!”

Fu Tantan stood up directly from the hospital bed:

“I'll go find Rogue, go find JIAYOU; they both have the ability to quickly reach level five. They can definitely help me reach level five!”

He didn't even have time to change his clothes before flying out the window.

“Let's find Rogue first; she's stationed at the Alpha Dimensional Gate. I'll contact her for you. JIAYOU is still out on a mission, no need to look for him.”

“Thank you.”

Yu Ding knew he was very anxious, so he hung up the video and sent a message to Rogue, telling her about his situation.

JIAYOU is the fastest esper in the world to reach level five, taking only five days, but that was due to his heaven-defying luck. With bad luck, it's hard to say how long it would take.

The second fastest is Rogue, and she's relatively stable. As long as there's enough energy, she can level up. Finding her is slower, but still faster than others.

Qi Jing suddenly felt unaccustomed to Fu Tantan's sudden diligence. This dead fish eyes paired with such active movements felt somewhat incongruous.

This salted fish can actually say so much in one breath!

It's like your right hand suddenly turning into a foot, yet still being able to function normally; it's too awkward.

It seems that the inherent image in my mind is not good.

“Then let's go first.”

Kong Que opened a teleportation gate and beckoned them to enter.

As the busiest level five esper, her daily tasks were packed. She had to push back many things to come to this Time Whale Tomb operation.

Since there's nothing going on here for now, she has to go do other work.

After sending everyone back to the Synthesis Hall, she stepped through the spatial gate and left.

Leaving only Qi Jing, Yu Ding, and Gou Dehao in the small room of the Synthesis Hall.

“Xiao Qi, the ‘Inheritance’ experiment just now is classified information that only level four espers are privy to. Now that you know, I might have to silence you ~”

Yu Ding said with a smile, trying to scare him:

“Or I could erase this memory of yours. What do you say?”

Qi Jing rolled his eyes:

“Come on, I'm not afraid!”

At most, he'd sign a confidentiality agreement; how could a country with rule of law do such a thing.

“Really not afraid?”

“Not afraid!”

“Alright, if you're not afraid, I won't bother with you.”

Qi Jing asked, “Does erasing memories count as an abnormal status?”

“Some do, some don't.”

Yu Ding explained:

“Memories exist within nerve cells. As long as you find the nerve cells corresponding to that memory and cut them off, you can erase the memory in a true physical sense.

But some abilities can shield memories, block memories, overwrite memories, etc., and these might count as abnormal statuses.

So, don't trust your immunity skill too much, because there really is an ability called ‘Cut Your Nerve Cells,’ which can't be defended against.”

“I see. I thought I was no longer afraid of attacks other than physical and magical damage.”

“Esper abilities are diverse. If you can instantly kill your opponent, don't give them a chance to cast anything. You need to pay attention to this.

I've watched your matches. You're too careless; you need to change that in the future.”

Oh dear, why are you watching my matches for no reason?

Qi Jing scratched his head. What's so good about my experience of failing to show off and almost crashing? And that embarrassing, disheveled look. How embarrassing.

“Yes, yes, I'll change, I'll definitely change!”

“Although it's a match, and you won't lose your life, you must not develop the habit of being careless, otherwise you'll suffer in the future.”

Yu Ding handed over a box:

“This Time Whale Tomb operation was too rushed. We didn't detect the potential dangers. It's our dereliction of duty. Here's some compensation for you.”

Qi Jing took it. When he opened it, it turned out to be another battle suit.

Yu Ding said, “We didn't even give this thing a name. We're giving it to you along with the one you're wearing.”

Qi Jing originally thought that only the battle suit he was wearing would be given, but he didn't expect to get another one. That's really great.

This battle suit contains various treasures from the purchase list, as well as a full ten Regression Rings, but they are embedded inside and don't belong to the suit itself.

Otherwise, he could use his new garment skill indefinitely.

Looking at the synthesis table outside, Qi Jing asked:

“Can it be used for synthesis?”

If all the items contained in this battle suit were synthesized into one garment, wouldn't that be super perfect?

Gou Dehao said:

“Synthesis? You can try, but synthesis has a characteristic: the properties of the same items cannot be stacked.

For example, ten sticks that can extend ten meters will not become one stick that can extend one hundred meters after synthesis. Instead, it might be a particularly thick or particularly hard stick that can extend one meter.”

As the old fun-loving person in this Synthesis Hall, he has seen many examples of synthesis and naturally knows its general rules.

For example, at most thirty objects can be placed, items smaller than one millimeter are not counted, synthesized items with excessive energy require two or more source stones, and so on.

Qi Jing put the battle suit back into his space: “Then forget it. I'll buy a set of things like this and then synthesize them. These ten Regression Rings can't be wasted.”

He plans to buy one of everything contained in this battle suit and then synthesize them, so that nothing is wasted and he can get the maximum benefit.

“By the way, Brother Yu, are the teleportation gates something that came out of the ‘Inheritance’ experiment?”
