“The master is back!”

“Oh my, that’s a gigantic fish! How many mouths can it feed?”

“Is that a legendary Shark? The master has brought one back!”

Ji Ye returned to the settlement while holding the 2,500 kg tiger-striped shark that was terrifying in both its size and its sharp teeth.

The shock it gave some of the new players was a lot more significant than the time when Ji Ye brought back the Big Bear.

After finally tasting the long-awaited bear’s palm last time, Ji Ye could try the shark’s fin of the Land of Inheritance today!

“Master, don’t worry. I’ve been a chef of a five-star restaurant for 20 years. I won’t let it go to waste!”

A middle-aged player with a simple outfit and a chef’s hat patted his chest with an obsequious smile as he promised Ji Ye.

As the number of people in the Twin Dragon Mount grew, a lot of the “life professions” had been given to professionals. Those good at their jobs wouldn’t obtain less Honor or EXP than the combatants.

However, as big as this tiger-striped shark, there were as many as 300 people in the Twin Dragon Mount now. Moreover, the martial arts practitioners needed to ingest a lot of meat, so this shark might only last them for a day.

…

After sending the tiger-striped shark to the kitchen, Ji Ye chose to go back to his room.

Because the illusionary hourglass in his head that represented the Cooldown of the Fusion talent was about to disappear.

As for the target of the Fusion this time, he already had his plan.

Ji Ye took a white jade pendant from his chest pocket. It looked a little dim.

It was the Healing Pendant!

This initial equipment had helped him get through the most difficult time when he first arrived at the Land of Inheritance, despite the fact that its healing property wasn’t all that impressive and that it could even leave scars behind.

But Ji Ye found a lot of sentiments attached to this piece. Apart from when he had to leave it behind when he went to the City of Humans, he had always kept it on him, the same way as with the Totem Wolf Skin.

Because in the City of Humans, Ji Ye heard from Fatty Zhu that his talent had been transformed from his initial equipment, he began to wonder what effect it would make if he were to fuse this jade pendant.

“Fusion!”

At that moment, the Cooldown of the Fusion talent finished, and Ji Ye started another round.

This time, the Fusion took a shorter time, which was less than fusing two Extraordinary objects.

As for the result…

Healing (talent skill)

Level: Ordinary

Rarity: Perfect (Rare)

Description: Heal the body back to its perfect shape. At the current level, it could heal all abnormalities caused by ordinary power, as well as treating the abnormalities caused by some more advanced power, according to the comprehension (this talent could work on other people).

“I did it?!”

Sensing the information in his head, Ji Ye opened his eyes wider.

He had fused the ability of the Healing Pendant into his body and turned it into his second talent skill!

In fact, he had kind of expected this result.

But when it actually happened, he was still surprised.

After all, this meant that he had obtained one more Perfect (Rare) talent skill that he didn’t choose after he finished the trial.

And the reason was that he had chosen the “inheritance” skill?

“I made such a good choice back then!”

Ji Ye was a little excited.

It wasn’t just because he had found the “lost” Perfect (Rare) talent.

It was also thanks to that inheritance talent that he was able to obtain a second talent skill.

Was that to say that the significance of the Fusion talent was more than he had guessed?

“Although, the healing talent is something really suitable for those who challenge the limits, because with this talent, they can try their luck at ease…”

After reading the information on this talent, Ji Ye felt a little odd.

However, just like the Fusion talent, this Healing talent also had a Cooldown time. Theoretically, the more severe a wound it needed to heal—

—the longer the Cooldown time.

However, once the Cooldown time was over, he could push the limits with confidence.

“But… this talent that should belong to an individual can theoretically work on other people as well. Well, that does sound very ‘rare’!”

Ji Ye had his own guess about this situation.

It probably had something to do with back when he used the Healing Pendant to save Li Qing, who had been bitten on the throat by the Blue Wolves.

Because of the existence of someone like Fatty Zhu, when Ji Ye went offline last time, he had gathered information in the forum on players who had inherited the abilities of their equipment as their talent skills.

He discovered that most of the talent abilities inherited had deteriorated to some extent. The lower the rarity, the more severe the deterioration was.

For instance, someone’s initial equipment was a magical ring that could release wide-ranged flames, but when they inherited the talent skill, the flames released could only be used for show and lighting up cigarettes.

And someone’s equipment used to be able to work on other people, but after they inherited it, they could only use it on themselves.

If he hadn’t saved Li Qing back then, it was very likely that the talent he obtained would also only work on himself.

Everything happened for a reason, and it all came down to fate!

Of course, strictly speaking, the Healing talent now couldn’t allow Ji Ye to try his luck however he wanted yet.

Because the newly-obtained talent was relatively low in its level. It was only Ordinary and could only completely heal the wounds inflicted by ordinary power. It could only “treat” the wounds caused by more advanced power, and the specific results would depend on his understanding and comprehension.

But it wouldn’t be a problem for Ji Ye.

Because during the process of fusing the Heal Pendant, he already had quite a detailed understanding of this Healing talent.

Unlike the inherited talent, the common talents didn’t need important missions to make advancements. Rather, they could be leveled up like other cultivation techniques with one’s ability and understanding.

Theoretically, it wasn’t difficult to level up Healing talent. He only had to use it as often as possible!

…

“Master!”

Ji Ye walked out of his door after the Fusion was completed.

The two guards saluted him. After the war with the Metal Men, they had obtained enough EXP and resource rewards that had made them level up to Ordinary Rank-9.

The natives not only just revered Ji Ye, but because he had saved them from Metal Men’s mass destruction attempt, they admired and respected them as well.

“Where’s Commander Ling?”

Ji Ye asked them about Ling Zhen’s whereabouts.

Earlier in the battle against the Metal Men—

Many people were injured, including Ling Zhen. Pieces of metal had stuck into their bodies, and Ji Ye was going to try the effect of the Healing talent on them and impress them a little in the process.

“Commander Ling is trying new weapons at the shooting range with Commander Tang and Elder Jiao.”

After using the Soul of Civilization of the Extraordinary Rank-3 Metal Men Commander and the Excellent offering Silver Liquid that it dropped, the Twin Dragon Mount obtained the 7th hero.

Tang Long

Level: Extraordinary Rank-3

Rarity: Excellent

Description: Title “Solitary Star”, nickname “Gold Coin Spotted Leopard”. He was a blacksmith and was in charge of the forging of all military equipment, weapons, and armor!

Moreover, after fusing with the Silver Liquid, Tang Long obtained a pair of special silver gloves, which could use the Silver Liquid to transform metals, changing them to whatever shapes he wanted. To a hero that used to be a blacksmith, that was a very significant ability!

Especially now, when Elder Jiao’s 3D printer had reached its maximum usage the day before, just like Li Qing’s Combat Ability Detector.

One could say that the arrival of this new life-profession hero had filled that blank!
