Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

“Um… what kind of thing? You’re so naughty, so bad.”

A Silly Cutie lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at Jiang Cheng.

“I will definitely regain my human form.”

Jiang Cheng stroked A Silly Cutie’s silky hair, his tone carrying an undeniable firmness.

“Mm.” Despite her flushed face, A Silly Cutie nodded heavily.

“I believe in Skeleton Big Brother. Whatever you want to do, you can definitely achieve it.”

Jiang Cheng nodded, “You sleep for a while, I’m going to evolve.”

“Mm.” A Silly Cutie nodded obediently.

Jiang Cheng then supported her slender waist and slowly laid her on the wooden couch.

The facilities in The Great Wasteland’s taverns seemed very rudimentary. Even in a high-class room, the furnishings were very ordinary.

And the bed was very hard. Jiang Cheng was afraid A Silly Cutie would sleep uncomfortably, so he prepared to spread the bedding on the bed.

But A Silly Cutie held his hand, “Skeleton Big Brother, let me do it.”

“No need, you’ve always been taking care of my emotions. This time, let me take care of you.”

“Mm…”

A Silly Cutie let out a low sound, then allowed Jiang Cheng to pick her up. After spreading the bedding, he slowly laid her down.

This was the first time A Silly Cutie had seen Jiang Cheng being so gentle, and her heart was about to melt.

“Stop looking, go to sleep.” Jiang Cheng sat on the edge of the bed, caressing her pretty face.

“I can’t get enough of looking at Skeleton Big Brother, hehe.”

A Silly Cutie’s face beamed with a brilliant smile, and with her eyes closed, she leaned closer.

“Kiss me.”

“……” Jiang Cheng’s hand stiffened slightly.

Would kissing a cold set of bones really feel anything?

Jiang Cheng wasn’t sure, but A Silly Cutie’s soft, moist red lips were right in front of him, and he didn’t hesitate.

A Silly Cutie’s warm and soft lips touched Jiang Cheng’s bones, melting the ice in the depths of Jiang Cheng’s heart.

But Jiang Cheng only gave a light peck, not lingering too long. After all… they couldn’t do anything more.

“I’ve kissed you, now go to sleep,” Jiang Cheng said gently.

“Mm, I know…”

A Silly Cutie lowered her head, her amber eyes bright as stars, staring at Jiang Cheng as she slowly lay down on the bed.

However, a faint smile lingered on her lips, never fading.

Seeing her close her eyes, Jiang Cheng didn’t dwell on it. Right now, evolving was urgent.

[Initiating Trait Evolution mode. Evolution requires 40 million evolution points and 40,000 enhancement points.]

[This evolution can unlock Armor Evolution, Feather Transformation, and Demonization.]

[Please choose an evolution path.]

“Armor Evolution? Feather Transformation? Demonization?”

Confusion flashed in Jiang Cheng’s eyes.

“Introduce the specific evolution methods.”

[Prompt: Armor Evolution mode uses rare equipment of the same level as a template, fusing with one’s own traits to evolve. The evolved form will have characteristics based on the equipment’s attributes.]

[Feather Transformation: Can use Angel’s Feather and Angel’s Heart to evolve and transform, evolving towards a Fallen Bone Angel form.]

[Demonization: Can use Abyssal Demon Stone to evolve, using the power of the Abyssal Demon Stone to strengthen the body’s bones. After evolution, gain a Demonic State. The final evolution direction is Skeletal Demon Emperor.]

[Note: Feather Transformation and Demonization require eight times the evolution points. Once evolved, the final direction cannot be changed. Please choose carefully.]

“Looks like these two are just for show,” Jiang Cheng felt speechless about the last two options the system gave.

Not to mention that the materials sounded rare, just the fact that the evolution direction couldn’t be changed made him back off.

Jiang Cheng was used to being in control, not being controlled by others.

The Trait Evolution mode was the best interpretation of this.

Moreover, he still remembered the Nether Emperor’s task, so he definitely couldn’t choose the latter two.

So he basically didn’t consider Feather Transformation and Demonization.

It was just this Armor Evolution that was a bit confusing.

If it’s based on equipment attributes, does that mean he can wear equipment?

But if he could only choose one piece of equipment, it wouldn’t be worth it.

He still had a lot of equipment, and quite a few were of excellent quality and attributes.

Jiang Cheng decided to try it out and see the prerequisites.

[Do you want to use the Heart of the Nether River for Armor Evolution? Evolution requires 40 million evolution points and 40,000 enhancement points.]

“As expected, I can only choose one. Not very meaningful.”

Jiang Cheng felt a bit disappointed.

[Starting Trait Evolution. Please select 6 traits for evolution.]

[Adding equipment, gems, or rune stones can enhance the evolution effect of traits.]

“Hmm?” Jiang Cheng’s heart stirred.

An equipment option had been added.

It wasn’t there before.

Jiang Cheng remembered clearly.

“So it can be done this way.”

Jiang Cheng was delighted.

If he had chosen Armor Evolution just now, he could only fuse with the Heart of the Nether River.

Now, he could choose 6 items.

Fortunately, he didn’t choose Armor Evolution earlier.

Otherwise, it would have been too late to regret now.

[Selecting traits: Life Value, Magic Value, Magic Defense as traits.]

[Successfully selected Heart of the Nether River, Hecate’s Brooch, Nether Moon Canon.]

[Do you want to spend 40 million evolution points and 40,000 enhancement points for Trait Evolution?]

“It really works.” Jiang Cheng’s heart skipped a beat.

These three treasures were basically the most mysterious and powerful equipment he had.

Jiang Cheng thought these treasures didn’t belong to the equipment category and couldn’t be selected, but unexpectedly, they could be.

This was undoubtedly a huge surprise for him.

[Successfully selected Phantom Blue Gem, Curse Soul Stone, Spellbreaking Rune, Soul Stabilizing Stone.]

[Limit reached, unable to select more.]

Jiang Cheng didn’t rush to evolve because he wanted to test if he could still select gems for trait enhancement after choosing six traits.

To his surprise, after selecting equipment, he could still choose 4 gems for trait enhancement.

These four gems were the most suitable ones he found in A Silly Cutie’s backpack.

Phantom Blue Gem increased Magic Value by 500 points.

Curse Soul Stone added a curse effect to attacks, reducing the target’s overall attack power by 0.1% with each hit.

Spellbreaking Rune increased the chance of interrupting spells, although it only had a 10% chance to break the opponent’s spellcasting, it should change significantly after his evolution.

Soul Stabilizing Stone could reduce control duration by 10%.

These four gems might not seem impressive, but in reality, they were all of legendary quality.

However, when fused with the mysterious Nether Moon Canon, Hecate’s Brooch, and Heart of the Nether River, Jiang Cheng wasn’t sure what effect they would produce after evolution.

[Congratulations on successfully spending 40 million evolution points and 40,000 enhancement points. Selected Life Value, Magic Value, Magic Defense as traits. Successfully selected Nether Moon Canon, Heart of the Nether River, Hecate’s Brooch, Soul Stabilizing Stone, Phantom Blue Gem, Curse Soul Stone, Spellbreaking Rune.]

[Beginning Trait Evolution.]
