Chapter 183: Dual Profession Choice, Genetic Potion

Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Dual Profession Choice, Genetic Potion

Seraphina Sullivan began to use her quest reward.

[Ding! A chance to upgrade your Talent has been detected. Do you wish to proceed with the Talent upgrade immediately?]

"Yes! Confirm Talent upgrade!"

[Ding! Talent upgrade process initiated... Analyzing the core of the Player’s Talent...]

As the system’s notification faded, Seraphina Sullivan felt a cool yet immense Energy.

It seemed to originate from the depths of her soul, suddenly surging from her mind and rapidly flowing through every inch of her body!

This Energy was gentle, yet it carried an indescribable, compulsory force.

It cleansed Seraphina’s mind and washed over her soul.

Seraphina suddenly felt her body grow lighter, as if she had broken free from gravity’s pull. She slowly floated off the ground, enveloped in a gentle, pure cocoon of light and Energy.

Of course, this was just her own perception.

In reality, her consciousness had entered a profound, mystical state of meditation.

She could clearly perceive every subtle change within herself, yet she also felt detached, as if observing this fundamental transformation of her life from a higher plane.

Seraphina could feel her Worker Talent undergoing a profound, essential Evolution under the nourishment of this Energy... New rules were being generated, and new Power was being conceived.

It felt like a long time had passed, yet also like a single instant.

Seraphina came back to her senses.

A system notification sounded in her ear.

[Ding! Talent upgrade complete!]

She immediately focused her mind and looked at her brand-new Talent panel:

[Worker Talent (Unique)]

Effect 1: Corporate Drone: After entering a dungeon, randomly receive two [Profession] options. The Player may choose one of the two Professions to use.

Effect 2: Eye of Resume: Can view the basic data of any living being.

Effect 3: Stealing Master Agreement: After a dungeon ends, you can permanently learn and retain one Ability from the Profession awakened by [Corporate Drone].

Seraphina carefully examined the description of her upgraded Talent, analyzing the changes word by word.

She discovered that the core framework of the Talent hadn’t changed.

But the key Effect 1, Corporate Drone, had been significantly enhanced!

Originally, she would randomly get one Profession after entering a dungeon, with no room to choose.

She had to use whatever Profession she awakened.

But now, after the Talent upgrade, it provided two random Profession options, and she could choose one herself.

’Going from no choice to a choice of one out of two... This upgrade is incredibly practical!’

A look of satisfaction flashed in Seraphina’s eyes.

This meant that in future dungeons, she could pick the more suitable and strategically valuable option from the two random Professions provided by the system, based on known information about the dungeon and her current Skill combination.

This greatly increased her adaptability and margin for error.

It would prevent her from being stuck with an awkward Profession that was completely unsuited for the current environment.

"Not bad. I’m very satisfied with the effect of this Talent upgrade," Seraphina said, nodding.

Although it seemed like a small change, it would have a significant impact on her survival and performance in future dungeons.

With the Talent upgrade complete, she took a moment to assess herself.

Then she turned to Sean Chandler, who was standing guard at the door, and asked, "How much time has passed?"

Sean Chandler glanced at his watch and replied calmly, "Only three minutes."

"Three minutes?" Seraphina was slightly surprised.

In her perception, the Talent upgrade had felt like it took quite a while, so she didn’t expect only three minutes to have passed in reality.

’It seems the system’s flow of time isn’t perfectly synchronized with perception.’

"Alright, it’s your turn to upgrade your Talent. I’ll keep watch," Seraphina said to Sean Chandler.

As one of her key combat assets, Sean Chandler’s power-up was just as crucial.

Sean Chandler nodded without another word, walked to the center of the room, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to commune with the system to use his Talent upgrade opportunity.

While Sean Chandler was upgrading his Talent, Seraphina had a thought and retrieved the sealed metal box from her [Scavenger’s Farm] Space.

After opening it, she saw three Genetic Potions resting silently in the box’s indented slots. They swirled with magnificent colors, as if containing miniature nebulae, and emitted an alluring yet dangerous aura.

Seraphina picked one up and examined it carefully through the glass tube.

’So this is the Genetic Potion that can grant Power to ordinary people?’

Seraphina’s expression was complicated.

’I won’t use it myself, but its value for research and potential trade is truly immeasurable.’

Seraphina murmured to herself as she stared at the shimmering potion in her hand.

She began to seriously consider how to make the most of these three potions.

First, she naturally needed to understand their specific Effects.

She focused her mind and used [Item Identification] on the three potions in turn.

[Blast Flame Gene Potion]

[Effect: Guides the user’s genes to undergo a targeted mutation, greatly increasing affinity for and control over Flame Energy. Upon use, the user will awaken a random Flame Skill.]

[Side Effect: A part of the user’s body (e.g., skin, hair, organs) will undergo an irreversible mutation, taking on Flame-like traits.]

[Evolution Gene Potion]

[Effect: Stimulates the user’s gene chain, prompting a specific body part or Ability to undergo adaptive Evolution, producing a unique special Power (Effect is random).]

[Side Effect: The user’s body structure will undergo irreversible and unknown changes; their form may deviate from the norm.]

[Name: Monster Strength Gene Potion]

[Effect: Deeply remodels the user’s muscle and bone genes, granting them terrifying Power far beyond that of an ordinary person. Upon use, the user will awaken a random Power Amplification Skill.]

[Side Effect: The user’s body will uncontrollably develop toward Gigantification and muscularization, potentially affecting agility and appearance.]

The detailed information of the three potions was clearly displayed before Seraphina’s eyes.

"As I thought, they all grant Power by altering genes..." Seraphina mused.

It reminded her of a saying: The rich rely on technology, the poor rely on mutation.

If she hadn’t become a Player and didn’t have a Talent with limitless potential like her Worker Talent, she might have taken a desperate risk in a hopeless situation and used one of these potions to fight for a sliver of hope.

But now, she had better options.

Naturally, she steered clear of these potions with their obvious side effects.

’Drake Hayes said these were top-tier potions with minor side effects, but ’minor’ doesn’t mean ’nonexistent.’’

Seraphina pursed her lips. ’I have no desire to have some part of my body become bizarrely deformed, or to turn into a hulking brute.’

However, just as that thought arose, another, bolder idea popped into her head.

’I won’t use them myself... but maybe I can let Flora or Moe try?’

’It’s all about changing genes, anyway. A plant’s genes are still genes, and a Demon’s genes are still genes... Maybe they can withstand it and gain even greater Power as a result?’
