Chapter 800, Extraction and Conversion

Translator: Silavin

 

Su Bai quickly checked in through the System and collected the Assistance Package. Ever since the packages opened previously had consistently been less than ideal, he had now become disappointed with the packages the System produced. Actually, it was not disappointing. It should be considered maintaining a normal mindset of non-expectation.

 

The System could produce anything. Even if it produced some rather useless items, that was normal.

 

He hadn’t placed much hope in the System either, because more than half a month had already passed.

 

The items the System gave him hadn’t included a single good one. As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. So, he had begun maintaining a neutral mindset.

 

<Ding! Congratulations Host, check in successful!>

<Ding! Congratulations, Host has received Mid Grade Assistance: Extraction and Conversion.>

 

Upon hearing the words ‘Mid Grade Assistance’, Su Bai’s originally indifferent expression instantly became alert.

 

He immediately sat up straight, asking somewhat incredulously, [System, I didn’t mishear just now, did I?]

 

<You didn’t mishear, Host. You’ve indeed obtained a Mid Grade Assistance.> The System’s cold mechanical voice responded.

 

[Yeah, that’s right. Calculating the time, it’s already been a month. Obtaining a Mid Grade Assistance isn’t particularly strange.] Su Bai waved his hand dismissively.

 

Originally, he had thought his lucky wind had once again come, that the System had randomly produced another Mid Grade Assistance from an ordinary package. Unexpectedly, it was merely a package from the fixed timing.

 

<That’s correct. This is the fixed Mid Grade Assistance reward provided once a month…> The System’s cold mechanical voice sounded again.

 

[Right, System, what does Extraction and Conversion mean?] Su Bai asked curiously.

 

These words were not unfamiliar to him. However, combined together as a name for a Skill created some confusion.

 

That was to say, extract what? Then convert it into what? Precisely what kind of concept this represented remained unknown.

 

<Host, Extraction and Conversion, as the name suggests, means extracting the essential parts of a certain item, thereby converting them for another item’s use.> The System explained.

 

Su Bai rotated his black eyes slightly and asked, [For example, if I extract an orange’s sweetness and convert it to sour berries, the sour berries will also become sweet, correct?]

 

<That’s the correct understanding.> A series of mechanical sounds from the System responded.

 

Su Bai nodded thoughtfully and continued asking, [If that’s the case, does this Skill have usage limitations?]

 

<There are no limitations whatsoever. Host may use it as many times daily as desired.> The System answered again.

 

[No limitations whatsoever? Most probably, this type of Skill cannot be used in combat, which is why there are no restrictions.] Su Bai thought to himself and continued asking, [System, what I want to know is whether this Skill can be used on people?]

 

In his mind, he was thinking that if this talent skill could be used on people, then this talent skill could demonstrate considerably greater utility.

 

Rather than merely making sour berries less sour, it could instead make Warriors become more powerful.

 

<Currently, that’s not possible. This Skill has Levels. Unless Host increases the Level to maximum, and unlock its hidden function, that is not possible.> The System responded.

 

[So this even has a hidden function. Then I understand.] The corners of Su Bai’s mouth lifted slightly.

 

He was thinking that if he could maximize this Skill’s Level, would that mean he could also perform Extraction and Conversion on people in future?

 

<Host, currently this Skill only affects plants and basic animals.> The System added.

 

[I understand.] Su Bai nodded.

 

After the System’s voice disappeared, he began falling into contemplation, thinking about how to utilize this Skill effectively.

 

However, before considering this talent skill’s applications, he summoned the System panel.

 

[Attribute Panel]   Host: Su Bai Stamina: 8.6 (Ordinary person 1) Strength: 8.9 (Ordinary person 1) Speed: 8.0 (Ordinary person 1) Mental Energy: 40.3 (Ordinary person 1) Shaman Power: 120 (120/1000) Totem: Flame Dragon Profession: Junior Shaman, Author Skills: Curing LV 4 (210/400), Space (1 cubic metre), Taming LV 2 (120/200), Growth Acceleration LV 3 (210/300), Danger Foresight, Finger Gun LV.2 (130/200), Iron Arm LV.2 (110/200), Extraction and Conversion LV.1 (0/100)   Description: You have escaped the sub-healthy state of an ordinary person and become a Shaman with extraordinary power. Please remember your original aspiration.

 

[Looking at this panel filled entirely with Skills creates an exceptionally satisfying sensation.] Su Bai nodded contentedly in his heart.

 

From when he first opened the Attribute Panel, the data displayed had been extremely sparse.

 

Moreover, the data displayed had been extremely unappealing, because compared to ordinary people, there was no difference whatsoever.

 

However, gradually growing to the present, the data displayed had continuously updated.

 

Su Bai was no longer the Su Bai who had just Transmigrated over. Now he was already a Shaman capable of handling situations on his own.

 

One must know that initially, the Skills section had only contained the Curing Skill as a single entry. However, now there were already a full nine entries.

 

Each Skill was useful and his Skills were key to his farming plans.

 

Su Bai thought carefully. He’d already spent more than half a year since arriving in this era.

 

He still wanted to continue developing properly. In his heart, he had already begun wanting to utilize these Skills effectively.

 

“Next, I must experiment on this Skill.” Su Bai murmured to himself.

 

Yu Ying had departed due to agricultural field matters. The waiting maids in the living room had also been dismissed by Su Bai.

 

Yan Hua and Sha Lan were currently still executing their mission at the flower field, so in the living room, he was all alone.

 

He produced two berries, one was a sour berry, one was an orange. He wanted to test what kind of effect these two items’ Extraction and Conversion would demonstrate.

 

Su Bai shook both hands. Both palms immediately emitted a faint orange glow.

 

The orange radiance began slowly emerging from his palms. That radiance resembled small tentacles.

 

The left hand’s radiance began drilling into the sour berry, exploring inside. The other hand’s radiance also transmitted into the orange.

 

“There is activation time in the casting.” Su Bai muttered to himself.

 

Because when using Extraction and Conversion, he had to make hand gestures for a period, and charging also required time. The entire process lasted approximately two minutes in total.

 

After the orange radiance quietly dissipated, the Extraction and Conversion process was considered complete.

 

Su Bai wanted to observe whether the experiment succeeded. So, he picked up the sour berry from the table surface and took a bite.

 

His dense black eyebrows lifted slightly. He said with satisfaction, “This sour berry now has the flavour of an orange.”

 

This represented that the experiment had succeeded. Testing the orange’s flavour again, he discovered the orange also had the sour berry’s flavour.
