Chapter 134: Chapter 133: Companion Skill: Genetic Enhancement

Zhao Chi savored the feeling he had just experienced.

It seemed Gu Qing’s voice had suddenly grown louder not because she’d done it on purpose, but because of him.

So that was it.

’I’ve experienced it once, so I should let Gu Qing experience it again, too.’

’There’s still time over the next two days, anyway. This can help her gain more Energy Points.’

’No wonder Gu Qing mentioned gaining Energy just now. So this is what she meant.’

’But... can Gu Qing see my Skills?’

’She shouldn’t be able to, right?’

’Could it be that she acquired some kind of Skill, too?’

’I’ll ask her about it in a bit.’

Zhao Chi activated Paradise Fury, selecting Gu Qing as the target.

Gu Qing was staring intently at Zhao Chi.

Suddenly, Gu Qing let out a soft cry.

"Master! You? Ah—"

Gu Qing’s hands gripped the stone ledge of the hot spring tightly.

Her legs trembled nonstop, as if she couldn’t stand properly.

Her lower abdomen contracted, seemingly spasming a little.

Her expression was a mixture of laughter and tears.

Her brows were furrowed, but she was smiling.

Looking at the system’s data, her All Attributes had indeed increased by 1 point, reaching a terrifyingly powerful level.

But... you really couldn’t tell from her reaction.

The clear spring water around her had just turned a little white.

Ten seconds later, Gu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

She said faintly, "Master, you’re so mean. What on earth are you trying to do?"

Zhao Chi scratched his head. "This Skill can be enhanced. I wanted you to test its Effect..."

Gu Qing said, "Test its Effect? I can barely even stand. This Skill doesn’t seem to suit me."

Zhao Chi looked at the Skill Description again.

Perhaps reliving that ultimate pleasure was a bit too stimulating for Gu Qing.

Besides, she had just experienced it, so her sensitivity was too high. Once she got used to it, she might be able to handle it.

Gu Qing pouted coquettishly. "Master, I just got clean, and you went and made a mess again. Come over and help me wash."

Zhao Chi laughed. "Now that, I’m more than willing to do."

Soon, the white substance in the water swirled and flowed away, absorbed cleanly by the crevices in the stone tiles below the spring, which then released clear water once more.

Gu Qing panted, "My Skill is different from yours, so please don’t use it so recklessly."

Zhao Chi was very curious.

"So you learned a separate Skill too? Send it to me, let me see."

"Mm, I’ve already sent it."

A system notification arrived:

Zhao Chi opened it and saw that Gu Qing had indeed learned another Skill.

[Congratulations, your compatibility with your Companion Zhao Chi has reached 100%. You have learned the Companion Skill "Genetic Enhancement."]

The information on Gu Qing’s side was similar. Her compatibility with him had reached 100%, and she had also learned a Companion Skill.

But the name of her Skill was Genetic Enhancement.

[Skill] Genetic Enhancement

[Energy] 1/100

[Recharging] Gain 1 point of Energy after absorbing your partner’s Genes.

[Duration] 5 seconds (fluctuates based on the Companion’s actual Time)

[Description] Activate absorbed genetic data to enter an Enhanced State.

[Effect] Consume 1 point of Energy to enter an Enhanced State: Gain 50% of your partner’s Basic Attributes for 5 seconds.

The description was shorter than Paradise Fury’s.

But it seemed even harder to understand.

’Genes?’

’What the heck is that?’

’I gave Gu Qing my Genes?’

’When?’

’Could it be...’

Zhao Chi quickly searched his system messages and, sure enough, found an entry under his own Status.

[Genetics Personnel] Zhao Chi

[Genes] 4/5

[Gene Recovery] 1 point per day

’So that’s how it is...’

He could Supplement one point of Genes every day.

When he passed it to Gu Qing, she could Supplement 1 point of corresponding Energy.

’No wonder she was just lying there, saying she was absorbing something good. It turns out she was absorbing these Genes.’

And the Duration was only 5 seconds.

Those 5 seconds were also determined by his own "Time".

Honestly, though, this Skill was even stronger than his own.

Although the Duration was a bit short, it allowed her to inherit 50% of his Attributes.

Right now, all of Zhao Chi’s Attributes were at 5 points. 50% of that would be 2.5 points.

Basic Attributes didn’t have fractions, so that would be at least 2 points, and it was 2 points to All Attributes.

In that case, could Gu Qing become a woman with 9 points in All Attributes for 5 seconds?

That wasn’t a woman, that was a superwoman.

Wasn’t she a doctor? This was too aggressive.

But the more aggressive, the better.

Aggression is Combat Power.

With this Skill, she could kill a King Level Magical Beast at a critical moment.

Moreover, Zhao Chi’s Attributes could still increase slowly, so this Skill would also grow stronger as his Attributes increased.

It seemed to be a pseudo-growth Skill.

But just 1 point didn’t seem to be enough. In that case, he had to help her Supplement some more, and quickly.

His current Genetic Limit was only 5 points, and he only had a Recovery of 1 point per day.

’This is a little lacking.’

’But it’s fine. I’ll just give it all to her.’

"Ma... Master, it’s already very clean. You don’t need to wash anymore. Otherwise, not only will it not get cleaner, but... that will happen again."

Zhao Chi quickly stopped.

"Gu Qing, listen to me. This Skill of yours is extremely important. It’s basically our Killing Skill, you understand?"

Gu Qing nodded in a daze.

Zhao Chi said, "So, you’re really not in pain anymore, right?"

Gu Qing murmured, "That’s right. It stopped hurting a little while ago."

Zhao Chi said seriously, "Then let’s continue. I’ll Supplement you with some more. Just that 1 point isn’t enough."

Gu Qing was stunned for a second, then giggled. "Master, how can you say things like that while putting on such a serious face?"

Zhao Chi was a bit embarrassed. "I’m being serious. The Skill is very strong."

Gu Qing teased, "So, Master, you’re only doing this for the Skill? Not for any other reason?"

Zhao Chi smiled. "The Skill is a byproduct. You’re the main goal. Can you still handle it?"

Gu Qing covered her mouth. "Of course I can handle it. The main thing is whether *you* can still handle it, Master. Let me see... Oh my, this little thing is still quite energetic in the spring water."

Gu Qing reached out and gave it a slap.

Zhao Chi quickly bent over.

"Let’s go, then."

Gu Qing pointed outside. "You put the sheets away and took out the mattress pad. Are we going to do it directly on the wooden bed frame?"

Zhao Chi shook his head. "There’s a big round table inside. The surface is very smooth. We can do it on there."

Gu Qing tilted her head and thought for a moment.

"Isn’t that table too small? Can it fit both of us?"

Zhao Chi laughed. "It just needs to fit you. I’ll stand."

"Standing?"

Gu Qing couldn’t imagine it.

"You’ll understand in a bit. But this time, you don’t have to intentionally be so loud."

"Hee hee, okay."

「An hour later.」

Gu Qing’s arms went limp as she stopped Zhao Chi.

"Master, you should keep this last point. Don’t you have to work overtime on production tonight? Giving it all to me... I’m willing, but I’m afraid your Body won’t be able to take it."

Zhao Chi calmed down.

"Did you absorb all 3 points?"

"Mhm, absorbed every last drop. There’s nothing left."

"Good. So your Energy Points for ’Genetic Enhancement’ are at 4 now, right?"

"Yes~ That’s so many~"

Although Zhao Chi had enjoyed himself immensely, he was also truly exhausted.

He nodded. "Okay, let’s stop here for today. I need to get some sleep."

"Master, shouldn’t we soak in the hot spring before we sleep?"

"No, I can’t move. You go."

Gu Qing said, "No way. You’re covered in my... I’m here. I’ll take you."

"Alright..."

Using her soft shoulders, Gu Qing carried Zhao Chi on her back, easily delivering him to the Carefree Spring.

This time, it was mainly to wash their bodies.

Not just Gu Qing, but Zhao Chi needed it too.

Soon, the cleaning was done.

Gu Qing then carried Zhao Chi back to the room.

She brought out a new mattress pad and got Zhao Chi settled.

"Master, you worked hard today. This was the happiest day of my life. You be good and sleep now. Whatever it is, we can talk about it after you wake up."

Zhao Chi smiled. "Me too. Thank you, Gu Qing."

"Hee hee, what are you thanking me for? Honestly."

After speaking, Gu Qing lifted the blanket and slipped in too.

"Master, can I sleep here from now on, too?"

"Of course you can."

"Hee hee, that’s wonderful."
