Capítulo 684: 113. Snow Fox Species
The next day, Fisher got up early. He cleaned up the stubble that had grown over the past few days and also used his Fluid Sword to trim his hair. This wasn’t Saint Nali, and there were no professional barbers dedicated to serving people, so he had to keep things simple.
However, fortunately, Fisher’s foundation was solid, and despite his awkward skills, he could still highlight his handsomeness. After tidying up his stubble and hair, he splashed some cold water on his face, washing away the fatigue from five days of engraving magic and reverted back to the decisive Nali Gentleman he used to be.
He wiped his face with the towel beside him and looked up at the mirror. He saw a middle-aged man with sparse hair, holding his hands and emotionlessly staring back at him. The man was wearing a strange robe Fisher had never seen before, similar to the Sacrificial robes he had seen among the Dragon-man Species, a tradition seemingly from the ancient era of the Dragon Court…
For some reason, as he saw the strange middle-aged man in the mirror, he recognized him immediately—that Transferee from the Otherworld, the author of the Soul Completion Manual, Caleb Wuz.
Fisher didn’t panic facing this eerie hallucination; he just glanced at the other’s Mediterranean hairstyle and for the first time realized this guy was bald…
“….”
Caleb Wuz in the mirror remained silent, so Fisher continued to dry his face. As he wiped the towel over his cheeks repeatedly, when he looked up again, the only thing left in the mirror was the Nali Gentleman holding a towel.
Indeed, starting from the nosebleed in front of Heidlin yesterday, he had increasingly felt his body undergoing intense changes. Not that it had become weaker, but rather… stranger.
Yesterday, he could use the side effects of engraving magic to deceive Heidlin and Emhardt, who knew nothing of magic, but he could never deceive himself. The distorted soul and intensifying hallucinations sometimes made him consider using his soul as a weapon against Erwin, but after his thoughts wandered for a while, he would subsequently break into a cold sweat in hindsight…
Thinking of this, Fisher sighed, rinsed and wrung out the towel to hang it up, and then took the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual in his hand. The body of the Completion Manual was slightly warm, and lines of golden, glowing, illusory text appeared in front of him,
[Slime Species Research Progress: 50%]
[Slime Social Research Progress: 37%]
[Congratulations, you have unlocked the first and second phase rewards of Biological Research, and the first phase reward of Social Research Progress]
[Constitution +5, Reproductive Ability +8, Own Status Verifier x2, True Vision Ring]
[Own Status Verifier: You will gain a deep understanding of various data about your body, but sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing, you know.]
[True Vision Ring: A legendary creation by Sedes, the legendary craftsman of the Northern Realm. A far-sighted merchant of the Northern Realm was deceived into bankruptcy by the despicable Slime Species. When he made his comeback, he took this magical Fake Relic from Sedes, which helped the wearer see through the disguises of Slimes to reveal their true forms, hoping to thwart their schemes. Sadly, the ring got sold after he went bankrupt a second time, and its whereabouts became unknown.]
It’s not?
Adding to my Reproductive Ability again? If you keep this up, I will go crazy before the Soul Completion Manual does its work. Or is this the way your Demi-human Girls Completion Manual leads one astray?
With a face full of black lines, Fisher felt his body had become extremely light and powerful; he felt like he could dismantle an entire building with his bare hands. The robust sense of strength relieved him, and it seemed he had made substantial progress in Rank, almost reaching the feeling of the Eleventh Rank.
As for the rest of the rewards…
He first put the seemingly useless True Vision Ring on his finger. The Own Status Verifier wasn’t a real item, just a label on an illusory interface.
Regarding the so-called status verifier, Fisher was also somewhat hesitant. It was like being a terminally ill patient faltering at the hospital’s door, knowing in their heart about their severe illness but evading the inner questioning with a slim hope of dodging the bullet, right?
But Fisher finally decided to face it. He lightly touched the word “use” with his consciousness. The next moment, the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual burst forth with a beam of golden light, which quickly swept over his entire body. Then, lines of illusory text emerged,
[Own Status Verifier x1 used]
[Reader data acquired, your Life data are as follows:]
[Life Rank: 10, Reproduction Rank: 17, Soul Strength: 13]
As Fisher looked away from the oddly high Reproduction Rank, he was somewhat surprised to see the additional Soul Strength. If each Rank corresponded one-to-one, did that not mean that his Soul Strength was significantly higher than his current Life Rank? And he seemed to have fewer problems reading the Soul Completion Manual than other humans, like Philone did; why was that?
