154: Chapter 136: Garbage Abnormal Ability 154: Chapter 136: Garbage Abnormal Ability In terms of appearance alone, Kerdalais was the most attractive woman Lu Ping’an had ever seen. She was far ahead of the second and third place, and even in a completely different league. Her lake-like eyes could captivate one’s soul with just a gaze, her doll-like face made people wonder why such a woman existed in the world, and her compassionate temperament completed the picture. The Sun-Moon Gold-Moon earrings, snake-silver bracelets on her right hand and left ankle, the inverted cross tree root stigmata on her forehead beneath her bangs, her languid and sexy figure, standing at a little over 1.8 meters, and her voice that always sounded like she was singing poetry; all of these should have been overtly exaggerated taken separately. Yet when combined together with her calming lake-like eyes, she exuded the saintly qualities of holiness, allure, kindness, tolerance, and fearlessness…well, except for wisdom. Lu Ping’an has said more than once that “this woman looks easy to deceive”. If extraordinary charm or allure had attributes, this one would probably be sect leader-level. Lu Ping’an has on more than one occasion privately speculated that she must have increased her charm or had a high-level profession related to it, but… “You’re saying that the area’s director is a fishhead? And you’re only remembering now? Isn’t that…a little too stupid?” When Lu Ping’an heard her speaking, he was first stunned, and then directly criticized her. “…Didn’t I just forget? I’ve had a lot on my mind recently…meow?” The deliberately cute-smiling large cat also deliberately ignored the disgusted face that Lu Ping’an made on the spot. In a sense, their relationship had significant issues for various reasons, and she naturally wouldn’t reveal more information. After confirming their collaboration, time went by quickly, and she frequently forgot things. Now, after being reminded by the “dreams”, and watching the comic skit, she suddenly remembered… “…I’ve met those fishheads before! It could be hiding and watching me right now!” At that moment, the big cat’s expression was complicated, as if she had swallowed too much in one gulp and couldn’t breathe, only to find that there was no water source within a kilometer of her. That fishhead had long fallen into the dark side of his profession and become a worshipper of evil. Based on the known information alone, he has at least served as a follower for four Quasi-Gods (ninth-order) and True God-level beings. Although the bounty from underground was as exaggerated as the official bounty, the fact that he was still alive and kicking proved his strength and cunning. Some beings who were only a step away from becoming True Gods would also expand their influence, sending their proxies or “local archbishops” to various areas. That fishhead was the underground archbishop of this area under the big cat’s jurisdiction, but like her, he was not seen in the public light. As for why he was called fishhead and not by a specific name or title, it was because… “… You say you don’t remember his name or title, don’t know his abilities, and even don’t remember why you appointed him? Don’t you have a scholar profession too, with a photographic memory…?” Lu Ping’an has more than once overestimated the big cat’s bottom line, only to later realize that he was not low enough. “One must be serious in order to have a photographic memory. Would a governor remember the name of an inconsequential village official? Besides, why should I remember that weakling’s abilities? Anyway, whatever I say, he must obey. If he refuses, I’d just slap him to death.” The big cat who got criticized felt a little wronged, but there were some things she was too embarrassed to say. For example, the reason she chose this area for the ritual of Ascension was because she picked the fishhead’s suggestion from countless proposals. In fact, as soon as she entered the Secret Realm and saw the Fishmen, she should have remembered. In a sense, the big cat had indeed entered a carefree retirement period. “Now this weakling can slap you to death in one hit… say something useful, like the location of your cultists’ stronghold? Their abilities? When you came here, you must have contacted them right?” Pursuing past mistakes and responsibilities was meaningless. Lu Ping’an just wanted to know what was left in the big cat’s pillow-sized brain, and could she squeeze out any useful information?! “Ha, what you don’t understand is, how could I let my subordinates know my whereabouts? I didn’t contact them at all, so naturally, I wouldn’t know where they live.” The big cat was still smug, while Lu Ping’an wanted to fiercely scratch her silly head. Lu Ping’an helplessly sighed, thought for a moment, and then sent a text message to Xia Qin asking her to help investigate “that Fish”. He hoped their tacit understanding would prevent them from dwelling too much on the source of his information. If they wanted to ask, they could say it was a hint from the Redemption Hand ability analysis… a little more suspicion was better than not getting past the current situation. “By the way, my regional bishop is at least an outstanding fourth-tier bishop. This area’s territory is large, so it should be a fifth-tier minimum.” The big cat quickly tried to make up for her previous lack of information. Lu Ping’an rubbed his eyebrows, knowing that her words were similar to saying nothing because from the beginning, the hidden existence behind the Sophist couldn’t be lower than the fourth-tier. “Alright, alright, thanks for the information. If you think of anything else, let me know earlier next time…” At this point, Lu Ping’an could only sigh helplessly. However, overall, there were still some gains. For example, with the feedback from Xia Qin, she mentioned the Sophist’s ability to “change faces” and warned Lu Ping’an to be careful. “The ‘Replace’ ability of the Healer Path?” Lu Ping’an was familiar with this healing ability that could completely change one’s identity, as the big cat used it to replace his personal doctor in that secret report. “That’s a sixth-tier ability, which not only has high requirements but also requires the ‘material’ from the original owner…” When talking about skills and professions, the big cat showed her expertise. “Is there a low-tier substitute?” “Yes, but they’re not very effective, and the banned-item managers are definitely not easy to deceive. A Spirit Vision can easily deal with most low-level face-changing abilities…maybe it’s the ‘substitution’ concept.” In some areas, the big cat was really good, and it only took a few minutes to come up with passable explanations. “Sophist, twisting and misinterpreting others’ conversations and agreements, he may have previously made an agreement with Lei Huoren to ‘take a trip on his behalf’, and then applied it to ‘this time’. Don’t engage in conversation with him; it’s extremely difficult for Scholar to advance, and they are very weak in the early stages, but they become more mysterious and harder to defend against as they progress.” The big cat pondered that with such a young age and talent, becoming a local director was more than enough, and there was even hope to achieve Rule-level in the future. However, there were still some things that she hadn’t confirmed yet and didn’t tell Lu Ping’an about. Based on her understanding of her own group of monkey imps, since their doctrines were more “radical,” infighting was a daily occurrence and even mandatory. If the fishhead and the Sophist were not too different in strength and couldn’t crush each other, it might be a good thing for their side. Both sides were far more than just harboring ill intentions. If they didn’t try to bring each other down, they wouldn’t be considered worthy followers of Kerdalais! “It’s best to have three or even four people, forming two or three small teams. This way, we’ll be relatively safer…” Considering the past incidents of “plans and reports sabotaged by colleagues”, Big Cat was most worried about one or two high-ranking cultists lurking in the ancient city. Shaking his head, these things no longer held much significance to him. After all, he had already become a burden…. “…Let’s continue watching the show and let that ‘lucky winner’ Lu Ping’an worry about it all.” ——- ——- After a short nap, Lu Ping’an began a new round of work. From various aspects, his understanding of “time is life” was probably the deepest in this world. His priority now was to reach the 2-tier. If he were an ordinary 2-tier Gardener, a little effort would be enough for him to advance… But ordinary 2-tier Gardeners, like 1-tier Gardeners, had no combat power to speak of. For him now, advancing would be the same as not advancing at all. The abilities of a 2-tier “Court Gardener” can actually be divided into three parts: Scholar, Gardener, and Spatial System (Runner). “The spatial system’s abilities are versatile and shouldn’t require much effort. Scholars will have to work harder and have a foundation in art. As for the Gardener Path, which is the core pathway, it lacks the most; particularly in the ‘grafting’ aspect of professional skills.” Although both “planting” and “grafting” require LV7, 1-2 tier Gardeners hardly ever learn about “magic plant modification”. It’s no wonder that materials say Bonsai Masters have higher requirements for “modification” than “cultivation”. “It shouldn’t be difficult to deal with those garbage abnormal abilities in the Gardener series. I should be able to quickly handle them.” “Shock Life” is a Black-iron level abnormal ability. After using it, it can only shock a magic plant for a few seconds, which is quite embarrassing. Lu Ping’an had actually gotten some tips fragments before, but he hadn’t gotten around to practicing them. However, for this ability, which might not even come in handy during internal Gardening battles, putting an additional “price” on himself seemed like a bad deal. Why would others want to learn it? Well, awakening an abnormal ability is not actively chosen. Most people would consider themselves lucky to awaken at all, let alone choose which ability to awaken. “Shock Life requires the technique of releasing spiritual power? I’ll pass, I’ll pass.” If “Shock Life” is not profitable, “Life Sharing” is a pure loss, yet its use requirements are not high. [Black-iron level spell Life Sharing: Share perception with the target plant, including but not limited to pain, touch, smell, etc.] [Usage Requirements: Planting LV4, Mental Perception lv1, Black-iron level Spell Life Listening, Black Iron Lower Level Spiritual Power, Life Sharing tips 100/100.] At first glance, it appears to be an upgraded version of the most common Gardener abnormal ability, “Life Listening”. Having checked briefly to confirm that he met all the conditions, Lu Ping’an casually clicked on it. [The abnormal ability Life Sharing (Black Iron Lower Level Spell) has been awakened. Please anchor its reverse as soon as possible, confirming the direction of the ability cost. Otherwise, the “price” might be determined on its own.] This prompt was expected, but what followed was a pleasant surprise. [Detecting the abnormal ability ‘Life Sharing’, the ‘Life Resonance’ feature of All Weapon Specialization (Exotic Weapons) has been enhanced.] Although the message was simple, the content was rich. The awakening of an additional Gardener’s abnormal ability had actually boosted Lu Ping’an’s main source of combat power, the All Weapon Specialization! After a brief test, Lu Ping’an realized that the enhancement was quite significant. “…Perhaps, many of these supposedly garbage abilities in my eyes are not really garbage…” Admitting his mistake, he casually asked the “senior gardener” driver next to him. “Is Life Sharing useful? It seems quite useless from the description.” “Most of the time, it’s indeed useless, but sometimes it’s quite handy. For example, when you’re being chased, you can share life with certain trees, using their sensitive roots to sense the earth’s vibrations and monitor the surroundings. When artisans use magic plants as raw materials, this ability can also be used to sense their limits and characteristics…” Brother Guan casually listed four or five practical uses for this seemingly “garbage ability”. At this point, Lu Ping’an confirmed that he really needed to find a “living encyclopedia tool man”… or a master in the Gardener series.
