104: Chapter 2 Got Carried Away 104: Chapter 2 Got Carried Away “Could it be…

could the boasts I’ve made in the past…

have become real?”

Zhang Xiaoman stared at the attribute panel in front of him, his heart filled with shock.

Shaking his head, he temporarily cast aside that thought and redirected his focus back to the skill information before him, beginning to summarize their changes.

First was the passive ability.

Aside from gaining a new skill called “Master of the Stars,” the original “Extract” skill had disappeared, which made him panic for a while.

You see, the “Extract” skill could be said to be his most important ability at the moment.

Even though it was just a white skill that was not upgradable, its special ability to absorb monster essence and convert it into points solidified its paramount status.

After all, points were extremely crucial within the system he had acquired.

Fortunately, later on, Zhang Xiaoman found “Extract,” or rather, its replacement skill within his active skill category.

“Eye of the Starry Sky”

Not upgradable

Usage effect: Can convert Dimension Essence into host points.

Usage cost: None

Range of use: 1 meter

Cooling time: None

——The will of the Inheritor, the light in the dark, the mark of the Dawn Breaker, the badge beneath the dawn.

“I can’t believe ‘Extract’ has turned from passive to active…

and this name…

why does it feel so familiar…”

Zhang Xiaoman gazed at the interface before him, suddenly extending his right hand and opening his palm.

He stared at the Seven-pointed Star Array on it and muttered to himself the explanation within the skill.

“I remember now!

I said this sentence back when I was in the company’s underground parking lot, talking to Brother Hero.

‘Eye of the Starry Sky’; the name came from back then!”

“But…

it can’t be that just because I once said the Seven-pointed Star Array was called ‘Eye of the Starry Sky,’ the System really changed it to that name after establishing the guild…”

He immediately checked another skill in the skill list — “Star Guardian.”

“Star Guardian”

[Second Level]

Usage effect: Summons two Star Guardians using the surrounding Dark Energy; the strength of the guardians is bolstered by the user’s spiritual power.

Maximum limit: 4

Usage cost: 30 Dark Energy

Summoning range: 10 meters

Control range: 100 meters

Duration: 2 hours

Cooling time: 20 minutes

——Inherited from ancient Guardians, the Silent Knights who defend the Star Alliance.

As expected!

This skill was the previous “Sand Soldier Appearance”!

Apart from changing the name of the summoned entity from “Yellow Sand Soldier” to “Star Guardian,” Zhang Xiaoman noticed that even the method of summoning had changed.

From the original “summon using Earth Element” to the current “summon using Dark Energy.”

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoman could not help but flip through the explanations of other skills; many aspects had changed, the most obvious being the unit of energy.

In the previous skill information, all costs measured in “Energy” were now switched to “Dark Energy”!

“This…

Dark Energy and all, I was just blabbering nonsense!

How could the System change its own settings just to back up my bluff!”

Zhang Xiaoman thought this when his gaze suddenly froze, and a somewhat horrifying thought instantly popped into his mind.

“Wait a minute!

Are these changes really made by the System?

Or…”

His eyes involuntarily moved towards the ring in his hand.

“Could it be…

it’s the work of this Ultimate Item!?”

“Could it be…

that Ultimate Items possess the mighty power to even alter the System!!??”

Zhang Xiaoman shivered at the thought.

If that were really the case, then what about the other things?

For instance, those monsters…

“Alien Species, singularity, cognitive sync, Great Fusion…

could all of these become reality!?”

His face showed surprise, and if things were to develop in this direction, the situation could get out of hand…

“But…

it can’t be that exaggerated, can it?

Ultimate Items are powerful, but if we go by my setting, that would mean the entire universe, even the High-dimensional Domain outside of the universe, would have to change too!

We’re not playing that big, are we?!”

He covered his face, not even daring to think about what would come next.

“Never mind, never mind.

These are just my guesses right now.

Let’s wait until I get out before discussing anything further.”

Zhang Xiaoman shook his head to himself, refocusing on the matter at hand—the new Skill he had just acquired from the ring.

[Master of the Stars]

〖Ultimate〗

Not upgradable

Master of the Stars: Possess all abilities of the other Star Rings.

Currently activated: 0/6

——The endless terminal, the eternal Dominator, the starry sky calls your name, Master of the Stars!

Zhang Xiaoman was quite satisfied with the final description of the Skill.

But as for its current effect, it was a bit less pleasing.

“Come on!

I thought I was going to be invincible, and now it turns out I have to activate it?!”

Zhang Xiaoman slapped his forehead in frustration, feeling like his mood was on a roller coaster, rising and falling unpredictably.

If it weren’t for his resilient little heart, the System would have probably played him to his end by now.

“How on earth do you activate this thing?

Don’t tell me I have to hand over the rings first?

Like in those fantasy novels, some sort of ‘return of the six stars’ thing?”

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoman thought that might be a possibility.

If that were the case, it would be a lot easier to handle.

But he couldn’t do anything about it just yet since the rings were bound upon equipping.

Who to give them to?

And who could be trusted?

These were things he needed to consider carefully.

As for himself, Zhang Xiaoman had tried as well, but when he attempted to don the other rings, he naturally failed.

It was as if the hollow center of the rings contained an invisible force, preventing his fingers from passing through no matter how he tried.

Setting that aside for the moment, Zhang Xiaoman looked at the other two abilities and finally found something that satisfied him.

[Eternal Veil]

————————

The above are the new abilities Zhang Xiaoman just obtained, which are also powerful Skills he can directly use at the moment.

That said, someone who had just become the Master of the Stars was not displaying the demeanor expected of him, but instead, he excitedly examined his attribute panel with a silly grin plastered on his face.

PS: This chapter has quite a few settings; please be patient and read through them.

These are all core abilities, and the Skill information will not be repeated unnecessarily in the future.
