Chapter 398: Fusion Talent: King’s Contract!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“No, I’ll have to wait before I try a ‘comprehensive fusion’.”
After some consideration, Ji Ye decided that he shouldn’t let his imagination run too wild.
Because based on his understanding of the Fusion talent, if the materials were too divergent, the result might get out of hand.
It wasn’t hard to understand.
Tigers and lions both belonged to the cat family, and they could give birth to ligers. Similarly, a horse and a donkey could produce a mule.
But nothing would come out of a human and a snake.
Actually, in the Land of Inheritance that could tolerate all kinds of rules, such a combination might actually work!
But there was another issue with fusing a talent skill with a general item.
Be it the Dragon-Subduing Strike, the Five Thunder Talisman, or the Flood Dragon Bloodline, with the advancement of his capability, they could all be abandoned at some point.
The same thing was unlikely to happen to a talent skill like Contract.
Therefore, it would be wise to choose an ability that would last.
“Well, my optimal choice is still to fuse one talent with another.”
In the golden dragon cart, Ji Ye shook his head.
After all the brainstorm, he realized that the most common fusion combination was probably the best.
Hence, should he choose to combine Heal with Contract?
Would the healed one automatically make a contract with themselves? Or would an injured contract holder get healed automatically?
“No, I can’t risk my Heal talent! It’s too important!”
Ji Ye shook his head with a rather stern look on his face.
His Heal talent was very useful in the battle.
Apart from saving his own arm, it had also saved the lives of over a dozen important members of the Twin Dragon Island, including core personnel such as Li Qing, Qin Yueyu, and Ling Zhen.
If the result of the fusion was different from what he had expected and he lost its Perfect feature of being able to cure all kinds of injuries...
The loss would be even greater than losing the Contract talent!
“I’ll use this one.”
Purple light flickered in Ji Ye’s Void Ring, and a war prize came out inside a ball of light. It was the King’s Life, the talent dropped by Wang Qing.
Compared with Fang La’s Sect Leader talent, Ji Ye was more interested in this one.
Because only someone who had the King’s Life could withstand the Power of the Dragon Line that was transformed from the Transcendent Fengshui Jade Seal.
Originally, such talent ability was like a passive skill that was owned by the native only, and as the offerings, the players couldn’t use them directly.
But Ji Ye realized that his Fusion talent really was a bug, and it worked on this war prize as well.
“Fuse!”
Ji Ye sat cross-legged on a tiger skin carpet in the golden chariot.
When he activated his mental power, he and the ball of light were both enveloped by the white light.
The fusion took about five hours, which was much longer than usual Transcendent objects.
In the end, the Contract (one time only) in Ji Ye’s profile and the King’s Life in his hand both disappeared.
There was a new input in the talent section below Fusion and Heal.
[King’s Contract (talent skill)]
[Level: Extraordinary]
[Rarity: Excellent (Rare)]
[Description: When a living creature becomes your subordinate, with their agreement, they can enter into a contract with you.]
[Note: When the quantity and quality of the contracted creatures reach a certain level, you’ll be able to obtain the “King’s Fate”.]
Unlike the previous results of a fusion, where the things created needed to be named, the third talent came with its own name.
There was something very intimidating about the name “King’s Contract”.
“I did it!
“But Contract was Perfect before. Is it downgraded after the fusion?”
After the light died away, Ji Ye didn’t look tired. When he read the information in his mind, he was lost in his thoughts.
Unlike the previous fusions, he didn’t receive detailed information about this new talent.
It could be that due to the special features of the talent skill, it couldn’t be analyzed. Because of that, he didn’t interfere at all in the whole process.
It was probably because Contract only had one usage left, or that the talent “King’s Life” came from Wang Qing, a villain that wasn’t very famous.
Despite the intimidating name, the talent was only an Excellent one.
“Only an Excellent one?”
If other beta testers knew what Ji Ye was thinking now, they would roll their eyes.
Only a very small proportion of players had obtained talent skills, and most of them were Common and Uncommon only. An Excellent talent skill was already good enough for core players like Qin Yueyu and Li Qing.
But Ji Ye wasn’t satisfied with it.
No, he wasn’t!
But it wasn’t because of the Excellent evaluation.
Talents in the Land of Inheritance could be upgraded, so the Excellent rating didn’t bother him.
What he didn’t like was that despite its name, the King’s Contract had a much smaller range than the original Contract!
It could only work on “actual subordinates”, which would exclude a lot of objects that could have been contracted using the old talent.
Such as villains or monsters.
Although he could obtain the King’s Fate through contracted creatures instead of the original Contract talent, the loss was still bigger than the gain.
“In that case, I’ll fuse it again.”
He frowned and gave it some thought, and the Void Ring flickered again, releasing another talent light ball.
Compared to Wang Qing’s King’s Life, Fang La’s “Sect Leader” was even less suitable to be used.
After all, Twin Dragon Island had a historical background. With its development, many summoned heroes would have King’s or Lord’s Fate.
But only a handful of people, such as Zhang Daoling or Zhang Jiao, would have a Sect Leader talent, and the latter was a genuine villain!
“Let’s fuse!”
Ji Ye started the process again.
In the spacious golden dragon cart, the white light of Fusion shone again.
It took Ji Ye even longer this time, and the light only died down after seven or eight hours.
[King’s Contract]
[Level: Extraordinary]
[Rarity: Superior (Rare)]
[Description: After a target has developed strong emotions such as “faith, worship, or awe” for you or becomes your subordinate, you can reach a “contract” with the other party if it agrees to it. The contractee will have a high degree of trust in you!]
[Note: When the quantity and quality of the contracted creatures reach a certain level, you’ll be able to obtain the “King’s Fate”.]
“Well, this is much better!”
The name remained unchanged, but the rarity had improved to Superior (Rare).
More importantly, he could reach a contract with a lot more objects now.
To make a target his subordinate would be difficult, but it would be much easier to “awe” them.
It was still not as good as the Eagle Man player’s Contract talent, but on second thought, the King’s Contract after the second fusion had its advantage as well.
For instance, because of Fang La’s “Sect Leader” talent, Ji Ye was able to gain a high level of trust from its contractee.
That was a very important feature!
Compared to punishment such as soul destruction or excruciating pain for insubordination, a high level of trust was a much more formidable power.
Moreover, there was also the King’s Fate.
According to the information in his head, as the number of his contractees grew, the King’s Fate would be fortified as well.
After the Fusion, Ji Ye didn’t try to look for a lot of surrendered soldiers to make contracts because it was already dark outside.
With the hard work of thousands of logistics players, the general cleaning up was completed.
He would have to summarize and give a report on what the Twin Dragon Island had gained. Besides, people were waiting for him to decide the future plans, such as what resources they should upgrade and what heavy machine they should build.
