Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

But when she truly had a spark in her eyes, Zhou Baiyu actually felt a chill.

It made Zhou Baiyu suddenly realize... the woman before him was the only fourth-rank Mutator.

Possibly the closest thing to a god in the human camp.

"Alright, time to talk about something serious. Little brother, since you've used the dice and forcibly activated 'Absolute Moment,' you can't acquire any skills, which is also the price you've paid for your killing spree in the hunting grounds,"

"But, in the fourth liquor cabinet, although most of the items are related to your profession and mostly skills, there are also items."

Sister Lin said with a smile:

"But as I said, in order to minimize the differences in benefits you receive later on, I'll try my best to cheat for you."

"The reward you'll get this time will no longer be random and chaotic because I will give you one precise item. But just this once."

"Unfortunately, this thing can't be used in the real world, but as you've probably realized, the focus is always on the 'Advanced World.' Treasures of the gods, gifts of the gods, they're all in the 'Advanced World.'"

Zhou Baiyu nodded his head.

Soon he felt a moment of disorientation, and then, he found new information in his mind.

In the "Item Column," he saw a new item.

He didn't speak immediately but began to inspect the new item in the item column.

[Item Name — Unstable Cargo List.]

A very nice item, one of the personal belongings of the great pioneer Lin.

In the Unstable Cargo List, you can see various 'exchange items.'

Draw a red line under the item you need, and when your number of mutations meets the requirement, the attribute that the red line marks will inevitably appear in your Mutated Items entry.

Of course, the exchange items will be refreshed periodically.]

It seemed a bit difficult to decipher, but Zhou Baiyu soon grasped the meaning.

"Holy shit, is this item like targeted entry protection?"

"Oh, not bad, you actually took my little notebook. This is one of my proudest creations," Sister Lin said with a laugh.

Clearly, Sister Lin's help to Zhou Baiyu this time was filled with her own desires.

The value of a middleman's personal belongings goes without saying.

"In the Land of No Light, you should understand how difficult it is to perform targeted mutations, right?"

Zhou Baiyu nodded again.

Positive mutations are easy but unstable, like a sword becoming harder or sharper are both positive mutations.

Targeted mutations, however, are about making an item specifically obtain a certain attribute.

The item Sister Lin gave, a notebook, would refresh with different entries periodically. The user only needed to choose an entry and complete the corresponding number of mutations before the next refresh, and the chosen attribute would inevitably appear in their mutated item entry.

Zhou Baiyu flipped through the cargo list and noticed a countdown marked with ink stains.

[5:12:16.]

"Does this countdown mean... there are 5 days, 12 hours, 16 minutes left until the items on the cargo list refresh, right?"

Sister Lin nodded and said:

"The countdown is random. Next time it might be three days, or eight days. The longer the countdown, the more advantageous for you."

"The content and requirements of the entries are also random. For example, in the current entries, a dark-gold entry—[Receive immunity to any attack for two hundred seconds]. The requirement is to reach 65 mutations of Mutated Items."

"Once you select it, as long as you mutate any item sixty-five times before the countdown ends, and the count can be cumulative across different items, then on the sixty-fifth time... your Mutated Item entry will inevitably receive the attribute [Immunity to any attack for two hundred seconds]."

A Divine Artifact, indeed.

Zhou Baiyu marveled; this must be one of the middleman's treasures, right?

This item was basically useless in those short-term calls to arms, unless one chose those white-colored mutation entries.

Because the required number of mutations was too high, it wasn't something one could achieve in a day or two.

But for long-term calls to arms like the Land of No Light, it definitely could accumulate over time and fulfill entries from the list through mutations.

However, the item was indeed unstable.

Because the entries on the list would change periodically, and what they would change into was unknown to the carrier.

And although the dark-gold entries were powerful, on average, mutating sixty-five times in five days meant thirteen times per day.

His current abilities were nowhere near sufficient for that.

Unless he gets lucky and the next countdown is long, at his current second-rank different walker level, he's not yet equipped to choose dark-gold entries.

But in any case, this was a Divine Artifact for Mutators.

Faced with months-long calls to arms, like those aimed at subduing a Demon Emperor in the Land of No Light, this could reduce his reliance on 'Absolute Moment.'

After all, activating 'Absolute Moment' was far too reliant on luck.

Zhou Baiyu was a man who understood the ways of the world.

"Sister Lin, thank you. I have a scale in my heart, I'm definitely not ungrateful. I don't know why middlemen are imprisoned here, but for me, another goal in life is now to set you free," Zhou Baiyu said.

Sister Lin's smile bloomed beautifully:

"Try your best, and don't let the newcomers surpass you. After all, what I love most is money. Whoever has more money, I treat better."

The statements were half-truths, and Zhou Baiyu didn't mind. If in the future there was indeed a stronger Mutator than himself, it would at least be a good thing for humanity.

If Sister Lin's attitude changed, there would be nothing to blame.

It was fine as long as his own treatment towards Sister Lin didn't change. That was his principle of life.

"The demise of the Night Demon might significantly impact the future, but the specifics can only be determined during the next version update when you'll be able to see the degree of 'our' favoritism towards humanity."
