Chapter 627: Chapter 477: World Tree Clone (Two in One)_2

“Star Lord, this is normal, the Star Network Host consumes part of its own energy to create subsidiary machinery when cloning,”

“Oh, will that affect other functions of the host, like the shield?”

“No, the energy used for cloning is stored in a specific area, reserved exclusively for such operations. So, it won’t affect the other functions of the host. But until the energy in this area is recharged, it temporarily cannot clone again,”

“Alright, then I’m relieved. How long does this recharge take?”

“Calculated by Water Blue Star’s time, it requires 1440 hours.”

“1440 hours?”

Zhang Xiaoman blinked and then quickly converted in his mind.

“60 days? That’s not too long then.”

He immediately felt relieved, as two months seemed quite short.

This time he had purchased a discount item, so he probably wouldn’t have the chance to spend 100 portions of Star Dust to buy a World Tree clone anytime soon.

With the conversation between the man and the main brain concluded, a change suddenly occurred in front of Zhang Xiaoman.

A small mound slowly rose from the ground, and then a vine emerged from it.

The vine grew taller and taller until it stopped at his waist.

Just as he was pondering what to do with it, and whether it needed to be pulled out, Zhang Xiaoman saw a small flower quietly bloom at the tip.

The small flower slowly grew larger and then began to bloom, finally revealing a seed within that resembled a water droplet.

“This seed…”

Zhang Xiaoman found it incredibly familiar, and then he remembered that when he initially purchased the World Tree, a similar-looking seed had fallen out in the Gang Store.

He immediately knew what to do and plucked the seed.

As he did so, the vine and the flower on it promptly withered, and eventually turned into specks of dust that vanished in the wind.

“Jiu! Jiu Jiu!”

Jiu Jiu ran over, excitedly trying to scramble onto Zhang Xiaoman’s hand.

Hearing the intent in the other’s sketch, Zhang Xiaoman quickly brushed it off, warning:

“Jiu Jiu, stop fooling around, this thing is not for you to eat.”

The little fox looked longingly at him and then at the seed in his hand, then whined softly and walked away with its head hung low.

Zhang Xiaoman thought Jiu Jiu was quite interesting; though just a skill, having the ability to think freely like a living being was already quite special, and it was unexpected that it could now even eat.

This Legendary skill indeed lived up to the Legendary level, truly something different.

However, Jiu Jiu’s diet was also a bit too extravagant, with 100 portions of Star Dust for a World Tree seed, probably the most expensive meal on Water Blue Star.

He shook the item in his hand and looked up at the sky.

Although he wanted to plant the seed immediately, considering that the spaceship’s jump function was still cooling down, and that the swarm of insects might not have left, he decided to plan for it tomorrow.

Now back on Shaking Light Island, the current time was five-thirty in the evening, and after half an hour, it would be the most anticipated dinner time.

People from various departments had also gradually ended their work, and they were either bathing and resting in their rooms or walking and chatting on the ground.

“Sisi, what are you doing here?”

Zhang Xiaoman walked up to a plaza and saw Lin Sisi sitting alone on a roadside bench, lost in thought, and immediately went over.

This girl, although not as aloof as during her school days, still didn’t have many friends in the Star Alliance.

This time it wasn’t her fault, but rather, Zhang Xiaoman himself should take the blame.

Now, as the two had established a romantic relationship, they were often seen together, even indulging in some affectionate gestures occasionally.

This led everyone to know that the pretty blind girl was indeed their boss’s girlfriend.

Men started to avoid contact with Lin Sisi out of respect.

And the women, apart from Tang Xueke and Ji Xiaoqi, who joined earlier, the few newcomers also regarded her with more awe than approachability, making it unlikely for friendships to form.

Thus, this resulted in the girl often being alone here, without making any friends.

Moreover, since she couldn’t see, and was quite introverted, as time passed, everyone felt an added sense of mystery about this “Star Lord’s Wife.”

Fortunately, Lin Sisi had already adapted to such a lifestyle and thus didn’t feel uncomfortable.

Despite this, Zhang Xiaoman felt a bit sorry for her and tried to make as much time as possible to keep her company.

“Brother Xiao Man.”

Lin Sisi heard someone approaching and gave a sweet smile in his direction.

“I’m here enjoying the breeze. I practiced Dark Energy this afternoon and was cooped up in the training room for quite a while, so I came out for some fresh air.”

“Oh? How’s your training going? Don’t overexert yourself, it’s good to move around like this too.”

Zhang Xiaoman walked over, sat beside her, and also opened her personal attribute panel.

[Lin Sisi]

Spiritual Power: 8

Dark Energy: 23/430

Skills: Eye of the Starry Sky, Eternal Veil, Unlimited Teleportation, Magic Shield·Third Level, Magic Memory·First Level, Star Guardian·First Level.

————

The above is the young girl’s personal information.

She has 8 points of spiritual power and a maximum of 350 points of Dark Energy, aside from her mastery of the Dark Energy Formula, she also exchanged many Imprint Skills through Contribution Value.

The 8 points of spiritual power naturally came from Lin Sisi’s use of the Enlightenment Kaleidoscope for training.

This also boosted her Dark Energy capacity to 430 points, making it the highest in the Star Alliance, aside from Zhang Xiaoman.

This made him once sigh that the young girl’s talent for Dark Energy was truly strong.

Lin Sisi, under Zhang Xiaoman’s recommendation, exchanged three skills: Magic Shield, Magic Memory, and Star Guardian.

Among them, she had upgraded Magic Shield to the Third Level, and other members could also use the upgrade function.

But their upgrades were different from Zhang Xiaoman’s.

Zhang Xiaoman directly used the system and spent ten points for a random upgrade.

While others needed to visit the World Tree, expend the corresponding Contribution, and cover the upgrade differential to upgrade.

For instance, the exchange price for Magic Memory·First Level is 30 Contribution Points, Second Level is 50 Contribution Points, and they only need to spend 20 Contribution Points to upgrade their own skill to the Second Level.

The whole process required them to touch the body of the World Tree, which would guide and imprint the upgrade of their acquired skills.

Of course, Zhang Xiaoman could also use this method.

As for Lin Sisi’s last acquired skill, Star Guardian·First Level, it was Zhang Xiaoman who strongly requested her to exchange it.

For this, Zhang Xiaoman even returned some Contribution Value he once owed to her.

The first level of Star Guardian could only summon one Star Guard at a time, and at most two simultaneously.

With Lin Sisi’s current spiritual power, these two summoned Star Guards didn’t have much combat ability.

But after all, the young girl is a blind girl.

Having such a Dark Energy puppet that she could command at will would make many aspects of her life much easier.

This was the main reason Zhang Xiaoman wanted her to acquire it.

Thus, Lin Sisi was often followed by a Star Guard wielding a two-meter-long spear.

Seeing this, other members of the Star Alliance grew to respect her even more.

After all, according to their understanding, in the entire Star Alliance, the ones who could control this skill were only this mysterious blind girl and the enigmatic Star Lord.

Reaching out, Zhang Xiaoman smoothed a lock of Lin Sisi’s slightly messy hair as they chatted.

“Jiu Jiu! Jiu Jiu!”

At their side, Little Fox flew over and kept calling out in front of them.

“Brother Xiao Man, what’s that?”

Lin Sisi suddenly heard Jiu Jiu’s voice; as she couldn’t see, she had to ask the person beside her.

Zhang Xiaoman casually cast a Spirit Detection Technique, touched it over the young girl’s eyes, and said,

“This is a little buddy I just found. From now on, it will be our companion. You can call it Jiu Jiu.”

PS: After some thought, I felt that Little Ai didn’t sound nice, so I decided to change the Little Fox’s name to Jiu Jiu, and I hope everyone will understand.
