Chapter 152: Friend of Animals (1)
“Greed, utilitarianism, pragmatic pursuit of wealth… Why is the synchronization rate so easy? It’s easier than the previous two apostles? Most people have this personality, right? That must be why it’s easier than drinking water.” Zhou Jing was uncertain.
Compared to Will’s paranoia, caution, and pursuit of honor… compared to Jason’s determination and pursuit of strength… this apostle seemed like an ordinary person with worldly desires.
“Greed is a bad thing, right? I can’t believe I got such a negative personality… Will there be some more extreme personalities and positions in the future?”
Acting was one thing, but if he encountered a “personality” that he didn’t agree with, he wouldn’t do it either.
As for his personality of greed this time… Although Zhou Jing didn’t think he was too greedy, he had been influenced by it since he was young.
Putting aside the characteristics, the quality of the new apostle model had clearly improved.
Previously, he had already understood that his Astral Projector Rank would affect the initial strength of the Apostle. But it was only at this moment that he realized that his main attributes were also counted into the equation.
The initial strength of an apostle would fluctuate within a certain range. The strength of the main body and the Astral Projector Rank were all factors that would affect the lower and upper limits of the floating range according to a certain ratio.
The initial attributes of this new apostle were already not inferior to the First Enhancement Mutant Blood Warriors. It was much higher than Will and Jason’s baseline.
The first two apostles were “Common,” while the new apostle was rated as “Slightly Talented.”
The increase in rarity also increased his Free Attribute Points from 5 to 10. His talent and support function slots also contained one more than Will and Jason, so his potential was obviously higher.
“It’s a pity that this one is not a combat-type apostle. All this one has are miscellaneous talents. Eloquence is suitable for communication, and knowledge is suitable for mastering technical skills. Pharmacy and Amicability are not the paths of strength as well… Hmm, the initial apostle’s aptitude should be related to its life objectives. So at the beginning, it will only produce talents suitable for completing life objectives?”
Zhou Jing pinched his chin as he came up with this hypothesis.
It seemed that not all apostles were suitable for pursuing power cultivation… Clearly, the new apostle’s life goal was to be a businessman.
However, Zhou Jing did not intend to blindly follow the apostle’s life objectives.
He had originally wanted the new apostles to do other industries and enter another social circle. However, being just a businessman didn’t come with high status in the mutant world. After all, their civilization development was limited.
However, the new apostle’s aptitude and talent were both geared towards learning knowledge, so it was more suitable for him to be a technical talent. He could also be a businessman on the side.
At the same time, Zhou Jing also saw an opportunity to use a loophole from his new apostle.
Through the Accelerated Learning of the apostle’s cultivation, he could quickly learn all kinds of knowledge-type abilities and turn knowledge into his own memories. Then, his main body would learn from his memories with half the effort, thereby avoiding the need for a conversion process and allowing him to master knowledge-type abilities easily.
“I remember the breathing technique that Jason learned. The main body can train on its own, but it has to be upgraded with the newer techniques. Of course, the progress can’t compare to Jason, who has an aptitude for it. The main purpose is to save some fees on my end, so I’ll only train in the techniques when I’m free… And this new apostle is more suitable for this kind of knowledge retention as compared to Jason. He can be a tool.”
Zhou Jing thought for a while and sketched out a rough plan.
It would be best if the new apostle could clear the level. If not, he would just be a “knowledge transporter” and display his value there.
As long as the main body grasped more knowledge, he could still use them and learn by himself with his memories even if the new apostle did not inherit certain knowledge-type abilities in the future,
Moreover, the knowledge-type abilities that he had painstakingly cultivated would also enter the Records Illustration as a backup. It was equivalent to enriching the other Apostles’ abilities. When there was a need, he could spend Astral Points to equip his future Apostles.
“From the looks of it, the new apostle’s aptitude is still very versatile. His Eloquence can be used to learn the knowledge of languages. It’s just nice that he can learn the language of the Mutant Beast World. In the future, I won’t need to occupy an inheritance slot for language. His Pharmacy aptitude is used to learn the preparation process of blood potions, hunter potions, and so on. If he can reach the level of a master, wouldn’t it be easy for him to earn money?”
Zhou Jing’s eyes lit up. He had been curious about the mutant blood potion for a long time.
Furthermore, as long as he took the path of a pharmacist, as long as he grew up, his social status would be higher than that of a Mutant Beast Hunter. He would receive the respect and protection of the Mutant Beast Hunters, and even the ruling class of the empire would value him… To a certain extent, he would become a celebrity.
The intelligence of the tribal lords plotting independence was still in his hands, but he never had the chance to come into contact with the core of power in the Mutant World. If he became a potion master, he would have contact with the ruling class.
As for the Natural Amicability aptitude, it was actually considered a magic-type superpower route, but he had yet to encounter this system for the time being. However, it could be used to tame beasts and equip the support function, his [Pet Function].
“It’s a pity. If I can enter the Supers Academy now, I’ll be able to learn all kinds of superpower knowledge in the main world. There’s no lack of spell systems inside. This way, I can give it to the apostles and let them self-learn and master it quickly. If I can obtain a system that doesn’t exist in the Mutant World and then pass the level and convert it to my main body…”
Zhou Jing shook his head. In his heart, he was looking forward to receiving an education from the Supers of the main world.
—School was the only place where knowledge could be obtained at a very low cost. Unfortunately, most of the time, one did not know how lucky they were.
This was especially true for Supers’ knowledge that was restricted in transmission. They would only teach it for free in the Supers Academy would they teach it for free.
