Chapter 243: Group Enhancement of the Crimson Chaos Staff
Cheng Mouren's pure prison-style personal space~
Besides Cheng Tian and Irene, who occupied the 1st and 2nd user slots, Uhtan and Bazett, as servants, and the war elephants Mammoth, Crimson Tyrannosaurus, and Primordial Pterodactyl, as biological mounts and combat steeds, were also gathered in advance.
As for the dark-skinned girl, Makina Mina, she could only watch from the sidelines with the Sawgator Pterodactyl and Chabru.
After all, the staff could only additionally affect the main user, meaning Cheng Tian's servants and mount units. Even the newly added Bazett could benefit for free, but it was useless for player-related units in the 2nd and 3rd slots.
As a light full of vitality bloomed from the red gem at the top of the staff, a warm current coursed through everyone and every animal, even including the 3rd buyer who was silently waiting in his private space.
"Ah~"
An uncontrolled cry escaped Bazett's lips, but this somewhat suggestive sound quickly turned into suppressed pain, as her deliberately exposed severed left arm began to regenerate visibly.
Bones, muscles, nerves, and skin all regenerated rapidly, and unlike new limbs that were swollen and tender like those of the Lizard, requiring time to be used normally, these were limbs that could be put into immediate use.
And her strength and agility, which had been reduced due to the loss of her limb, also returned to their original state.
However, no one present paid attention to Bazett's changes, because everyone was experiencing an itchy and painful sensation from the powerful life force surging within them.
Since Heaven's Chosen Space did not have any built-in spatial repair function, many players appeared to have no problems on the surface, but over time, the internal hidden injuries were actually more numerous than imagined. Some hidden injuries might need to accumulate to a certain extent before turning into negative buffs clinging to the players.
The powerful life force attached to the staff directly repaired these severe or minor injuries in the body.
It also repaired meniscus wear, uric acid buildup in the body, dark eye bags caused by staying up late, mite parasites on the skin, and the inevitable dysmenorrhea issues that Irene and Bazett more or less experienced.
Of course, there were actually quite a few items in the space that could achieve this repair effect, but many players simply didn't realize this and wouldn't use precious items to repair their own injuries when they were unharmed.
However, compared to Irene, who only needed to take care of herself, Cheng Tian had more things to deal with.
After using the staff, his HP once again surged by 150. Coupled with the previous Emerald Staff, it had reached 430HP, which theoretically required 43 points of strength for the human race. At the same time, he also completed the allocation of attribute points and skill points.
He first invested another 5 points in Charm, bringing it to 20 points, and then put the remaining 3 points into Strength, allowing it to meet the regular equipment requirements for the prince's sword after halving.
He then spent 3 skill points to level up Titan's Grip to Lv4, leaving him with only 3 free skill points on standby.
The Balford Twin Swords and the Azure Fire Dragon Scale Armor also directly reached +7 enhancement under the effect of the staff.
These were all things Cheng Tian had prepared in advance, so the allocation was relatively easy.
However, besides himself, there was a pile of servants and combat mounts awaiting his allocation suggestions.
As units benefiting from the staff's effect for free, servants and combat mounts could only receive HP, attribute point, and skill point bonuses. Cheng Tian had confirmed this in advance; otherwise, he would have already found a way to have Uhtan and Bazett each wear +6 weapons and armor to get a 100% chance of reaching +7.
Uhtan and Bazett, as servant units, did have the right to allocate attributes themselves, but they clearly trusted Cheng Tian's advice more in this regard.
For Uhtan, Cheng Tian told it to continue adding to Spirit and the skill 『Flash of Inspiration』, whose effect was "occasionally able to extract core keys from genetic research."
After all, other units covered the combat aspect, so Uhtan only needed to ensure its mind was sharp, and its true moment of power would be when Cheng Tian re-entered the Cadillacs and Dinosaurs instance.
Bazett, on the other hand, added Strength attribute and the skill 『Successor of the Red Branch』.
As a melee guard, how could her HP be even lower than Cheng Tian's, who was a spellcaster?
As for Successor of the Red Branch, it reduced the manufacturing cycle of the Slashing God of War Sword, also known as the "Sword of Reversal."
The biological mounts and combat steeds were a bit special.
Due to their positioning, they exchanged future growth for powerful combat strength that was peak from the moment they appeared. This also meant that their growth system was different from players and servants.
Only HP boosts and attribute points were useful; skill points had almost no effect on them. Only highly compatible special enhancement items, similar to "Mutant Insect Sacs," might be able to enhance their skills.
The elephant and the Tyrannosaurus continued to stack Strength and HP, while the Pterodactyl added Agility.
Using this staff on Cheng Tian, the overall gain was even more profitable than clearing a main quest once.
After finishing all the pending allocation work, Cheng Tian also took out the Black Pearl Shard.
[Black Pearl Shard: Instance opening key. A fragment of the "Black Pearl," which brought both prosperity and disaster to the kingdom, left on the ground. Using it will prematurely open the single-player exclusive instance "Ys: Origin."
You can open the instance at any time outside of the monthly main trial.
This instance permanently has the three instance modifiers: "Single-Player Adventure," "Knight and Sorcery," and "No-Fly Black Tower." It will also randomly generate an additional 1 to 2 instance modifiers.
The instance will occupy spatial stay time. If you cannot clear the instance within the current month's stay time, your current month's main trial time will be forcibly replaced with "Ys: Origin," and you can only proceed with a main-quest-like settlement after completely clearing it.]
The "Single-Player Adventure" modifier meant that Cheng Tian would not be able to bring Irene along for the adventure.
"Poor little one~~ Brother can't take you to play anymore~"
Cheng Tian, who showed the Black Pearl Shard's attributes to Irene, had his paw slapped away by Irene with a 'pah' sound.
"Hmph~ Even if you asked me to go, I wouldn't! I still have things to do!"
Embodying the spirit of "cursing the cook after putting down the chopsticks," Irene, empowered by the staff's effect, puffed out her chest and held her head high, giving Cheng Mouren no face at all.
"What things?"
Cheng Tian asked curiously.
"Elf bloodline purification!"
Irene stated righteously.
As she spoke, student Irene also displayed the World Tree branch in her hand, which came from the "Dragon King Warrior" instance and still seemed to be active, even bearing tender sprouts.
