Ch 151: Xiao Tuan, who had excellent digestion

After confirming Zhou Mi’s condition was stable, Ji Chuan’s thoughts raced as he organized the clues based on the available information.

The Black Dragon rushed in to escape the Shadow Person’s pursuit. The Shadow Person is the God of Death from another world. Ji Chuan couldn’t sense his presence, but he must have entered this world after the Black Dragon flew out.

Attempts using the Five Elements techniques, the God of Death’s techniques, and close-quarters combat techniques were all ineffective. He possesses the ability to restrain people; that black dome seems to prevent the use of any displacement abilities.

He inflicts damage through contact, absorbing energy from one’s body. This technique is very strange. Even Ji Chuan, possessing a God of Death Crystal Core, doesn’t understand what it is, but he’s certain the Shadow Person gets stronger the more people he absorbs.

Ji Chuan plans to try three things in the next seven days: prevent the Gate from opening, or destroy the Gate—the most direct solution;

figure out how the Shadow Person harms him; if he only has death energy abilities, Ji Chuan should be immune;

find an ability that can harm the Shadow Person and defeat him the moment he appears, otherwise he’ll absorb the energy of all the strong individuals present, becoming even harder to deal with.

Ji Chuan wasn’t confident. Even if he found some clues, he would only have the chance to experiment on the day of the battle. For now, he could only make the most thorough preparations.

He instructed Luo Jiayou to rush to Shannan City and Xinze City as quickly as possible; many things needed to be expedited.

To utilize time efficiently, Ji Chuan quickly arrived at the Jianghua City Ability User Base, swallowed the Star Guardian, Meteor Relay, Slime, and Disguiser Crystal Cores, and continued synthesizing the Star God.

He wished upon the Star God for the ability to have a Mobile Core—an ability he absolutely needed.

Ji Chuan directly summoned Xiao Tuan, “Xiao Tuan, put the target to sleep!” Last time, it was thanks to Xiao Tuan that he had a second chance. He hoped to experiment with more of Xiao Tuan’s abilities.

“Pujji?”

Xiao Tuan looked bewildered, confused by the command and failing to execute it.

“How could this be… Could it be Xia Yida’s ability that allowed it to learn the technique?”

But currently, Xia Yida’s ability only makes people feel lucky; nothing unreasonable has occurred. Is it reasonable for an ability to teach a Magical Creature a technique?

Remembering Xiao Tuan appeared in Xia Yida’s bag, could it be related to the contents of Xia Yida’s bag? He returned to the stronghold to find Xia Yida, intending to ask her if he could get any clues.

“A Chuan…”

Xia Yida’s face flushed slightly upon opening the door and seeing Ji Chuan. This was the first time A Chuan had actively entered her room. Could he possibly want to…

“Xia Yida, what do you usually bring when you go out?”

“Ah?”

Seemingly surprised by Ji Chuan’s question, Xia Yida was a little perplexed.

“Long trip or short trip… How long will you be gone?”

“For example, if I asked you to accompany me to Shannan City to handle a difficult task, and we could return after solving it, the time is uncertain. What would you bring for such a trip?”

Xia Yida pondered. Was Ji Chuan planning to take her on a trip? Surely she was still very important to him!

If they would return after completing a task, her A Chuan was so strong that he shouldn’t stay there for too long…

“I would probably match a bag of the same color to my outfit for the day, lipstick, foundation, loose powder, false eyelashes, eyeliner, eyebrow pencil…”

Ji Chuan listened with some confusion; it didn’t seem like he’d gotten any clues.

“That’s all?”

“If I were staying overnight, I would also bring makeup remover, travel-sized skincare products, face masks, and melatonin because I can’t sleep in unfamiliar beds.”

“Melatonin?”

Isn’t that something to help with sleep? There seemed to be a medicine bottle in Xiao Tuan’s body at the time… Could it be this?

“Give me a bottle of melatonin.”

“Ah, okay.”

Xia Yida turned to get a bottle of melatonin, but Ji Chuan directly threw the melatonin onto a colorful blob behind him?

Xia Yida’s gaze remained fixed on Ji Chuan’s face and she hadn’t noticed the small thing following behind him.

“Pujji.”

The melatonin bubbled in Xiao Tuan’s body and disappeared shortly afterward. Xiao Tuan really could digest anything…

“Xiao Tuan, use sleep on Xia Yida.”

Ji Chuan tried giving the command again.

“A Chuan, I can cooperate without…”

Xiao Tuan’s crystalline powder had already induced drowsiness in Xia Yida. Vaguely, she felt Ji Chuan lift her.

A smile curved Xia Yida’s lips; she seemed to be having a very pleasant dream.

“So that’s how it is…”

Depending on what Xiao Tuan digests, it gains corresponding abilities. Ji Chuan left Xia Yida’s room and took Xiao Tuan back to the Ability User Base.

The base had a full range of medicines. He successively fed various medicines to Xiao Tuan. Through his experiments, Xiao Tuan mastered the abilities of sleep, deadly poison, and healing.

“What if it’s not just medicine…”

Ji Chuan also wanted to try the effects of feeding Xiao Tuan other things: ordinary food, Crystal Cores, weapons, zombies…

“Xiao Tuan, if you gain a new ability, you must show it to me.”

“Pujji!”

Ji Chuan thought of a way to know if Xiao Tuan had gained an ability without experimenting.

Ji Chuan casually grabbed a handful of Green Crystal Cores and threw them into Xiao Tuan’s body. He initially observed that there were many types of cores, unsure how many abilities Xiao Tuan could learn.

“Pujji pujji.”

Xiao Tuan sprayed out a water pillar, then stopped moving.

Ji Chuan had a guess: Xiao Tuan could probably only master abilities compatible with its race. It hadn’t mastered the fire, wind, and gold abilities from those cores; those types didn’t seem to match a slime.

There was no change after consuming weapons, or zombies. Medicines and Crystal Cores, on closer thought, are somewhat similar; they both have effects on the human body. Ji Chuan intended to continue experimenting with similar items on Xiao Tuan in the future.

Xiao Tuan’s digestive capacity was astonishing, comparable to a waste processing plant, but Ji Chuan didn’t want to spend more time experimenting; he still had many things left to do.

Ji Chuan returned to the base. Xiao Desheng reported the latest successful experimental cases via telepathy. Ji Chuan told him to report again after fully mastering the Crystal Embedding technique.

“Master, where did you get this!”

Xiao Hui ran excitedly upon seeing the Slime. Seeing Xiao Hui, Ji Chuan suddenly thought of something. As an original inhabitant of that world, would he understand the Shadow Person?

“It was summoned through an ability, just like you. Your world is connected to this one.”

Hearing Ji Chuan’s words, Xiao Hui’s eyes widened in surprise. Two worlds were connecting? Could he see his people again? Could he fulfill his unfulfilled wishes?

“Do you know about the God of Death in your world?”
