Li Qianxia had a simple S-level Skill in her hand.
[Name: Evaporator]
[Type: Skill]
[Quality: S]
[Special Effect: Conditionally extends the duration of consumables indefinitely]
[Minimum Use Conditions: Able to withstand the effects of the consumables, including beneficial effects]
[Introduction: 1. Place a consumable in the Evaporator, and as long as you have the "Ability", you can activate it at any time or maintain the effects of the consumable for a long period.
2. Consumables can be changed at any time, whether they are usable or not is confirmed by the Evaporator;
3. After changing a consumable, the original consumable disappears;
4. The effect of the consumable in the Evaporator will not weaken (e.g., Elixir Pills are always effective, without resistance);
5. Filters out all side effects of consumables, enhances benefits tenfold]
[Note: Add some water, and it becomes the best humidifier; put in a "Jade Pill," and it becomes an Eternal Youth Pill; put in "One-time Black Hole Tide," and it becomes a Permanent Black Hole... as long as you have the "Ability" and the corresponding consumable]
Li Changzhou helped his sister replace "Thunder Roar" with "Evaporator," turning it into an S- class.
"Which special effects are gone?" Li Changzhou asked.
"The last one, 'Filters out all side effects of consumables, enhances benefits tenfold,' the gap between S and S- is huge!"
"Think of the Saint Master and his woman."
"That makes sense... Right, if I put a drop of my brother's blood in it, would it be the same as having a self-healing Skill?" Li Qianxia asked.
"At the same time, you'd also lose an S- class Skill," Yang Qinglan said.
"Do we have better consumables than my brother's blood?" Li Qianxia rested her chin on Li Changzhou's head, lost in thought.
"My blood isn't a consumable," Li Changzhou emphasized first and then offered a suggestion, "Try to pick something that restores 'Ability,' so you can use 'Instantaneous,' 'Super Speed,' and other Skills indefinitely."
Turquoise Pool said, "I have something that restores 'Ability.' The effect is decent, but not good enough to be useful in battle. I can help look for something."
"Thanks, Sister Yao~," Li Qianxia gave her a sweet smile.
None of the three tried to compete with her for it. Turquoise Pool, being an outsider, and Yang Qinglan now had [Gu She Divine Woman], which lasted only 30 seconds, but it was also an ace up her sleeve.
"I've picked one. It's your turn now," Li Qianxia gestured invitingly.
In total, there were 15 cards. Apart from "Saint Master," five from Six Paths, "Trend," and "Evaporator," there were still seven left.
"You go first," Yang Qinglan told Turquoise Pool.
Turquoise Pool looked at her with slight surprise, not expecting such generosity.
The reason Yang Qinglan let her choose first was not because they had a close relationship but to repay the favor for stepping forward previously and keep their relationship strictly professional.
After all, it had been agreed that the Saint Master would make the first move, and Turquoise Pool would help only after that, and now it was Li Changzhou who had acted first, owing even more.
"Then I won't be polite."
When it comes to strength, there's no need for false modesty. Turquoise Pool took the Identity Card she favored from the center of the pool.
With her slender index and middle fingers, she pulled the Identity Card from between her eyebrows and handed it over to Li Changzhou, along with her chosen card.
"Swap out the third Skill. Let me see how much it hurts," she seemed a bit expectant.
"Are you an M?" Li Changzhou asked as he began the process.
He didn't look at Turquoise Pool's Identity Card, and didn't sneak a peek at the effects of the S-class Instinct "Favored Concubine."
"Hmm..." As the Skill swapping process started, Turquoise Pool pressed her hand to her forehead and groaned in pain.
She endured as much as she could, and if not for the trembling seawater below them, sending waves splashing against the three of them, one couldn't tell she was in pain.
The parts of her body above the water sweated, and the sea water flowed over her pale skin.
"Relax, relax, trust my brother, don't resist, it will be over soon!" Li Qianxia encouraged her worriedly, her hands tightly gripping Li Changzhou's shoulders.
Li Changzhou really wanted her to relax too and not to grip so tightly anymore.
The pain passed quickly, and Turquoise Pool dove underwater, washing her sweaty hair, face, and shoulders.
When she surfaced, she flicked her white bangs, her charming demeanor making it seem like she was posing for a photoshoot.
"That really hurt," Turquoise Pool glared at Li Changzhou reproachfully.
"Don't make it sound like I said it wouldn't hurt," Li Changzhou handed her back the Identity Card.
The deprived Instinct Identity Card, now his, still had Skills on it.
"Sister Yao, how much did the effects decrease?" Li Qianxia curiously asked.
Turquoise Pool took the Identity Card from Li Changzhou's hand and glanced at it, though she didn't need to, as she could check by 'recalling' her own Identity Card, regardless of whether it was in her hand or not.
But humans have their habits, like the 'uh' and 'um' in speech.
