These are precious traits that are difficult to obtain through personal ability.
"Apostle Nari, indeed a good mother. Perhaps in the future, there might be an opportunity to launch a major reshuffle using Nari against the Abyss..."
Ron displayed a barely perceptible smile at the corner of his mouth.
Certainly, the existence of the two-way link ensured his control over the puppet, but the exact recovery process still required careful planning.
"It’s still early."
Ron calmly analyzed the current situation:
"Let Nari continue to invest resources in cultivating the puppet until it reaches a critical point. Then..."
Just as he was immersed in these thoughts, an enticing aroma began to fill the laboratory.
Ailan was using her unique talent abilities to transform those hazardous Abyss ingredients into safe and delicious dishes.
"Master, dinner is ready."
The Tree Spirit’s voice carried pride:
"Today’s menu is all made with ingredients unique to the observation station. I hope you will like it."
Ron walked towards the dining table and noticed Ailan had indeed put a lot of thought into it.
The first dish was a soup made from "Luminous Fungi."
This luminescent fungus, grown on the second floor of the Abyss, after Ailan’s meticulous processing, now shone with a beautiful glow reminiscent of a starry sky.
The soup was warm and sweet to the taste, completely devoid of its original toxicity, and carried a hint of fragrance.
The main course was exquisite slices of "Shadow Scaled Fish."
This Abyss fish had inherently delicious flesh but contained traces of spiritual poison.
Under Ailan’s skillful hands, these toxins were completely neutralized by her plant essence, leaving only pure flavor.
The fish slices had a deep obsidian-like color on the plate, each piece evenly cut, emitting an enticing aroma.
The most exquisite was the dessert — mousse made from "Mist Sea Fruit."
This peculiar fruit, found only on the third floor of the Abyss, contained mild hallucinogenic components in its flesh.
Ailan cleverly transformed these components into pure flavor enhancers, giving the entire dessert a dreamy, semi-transparent texture.
"Ailan, your talent in cooking is becoming increasingly remarkable."
Ron tasted these unique Abyss delicacies and sincerely praised:
"To handle such dangerous Abyss ingredients so perfectly, you can already be called a culinary master."
"To receive recognition from the master is my greatest reward."
Ailan’s voice was filled with gentle joy:
"However, if Dale were here, she would certainly be more excited than I am. That little foodie is always curious about new foods."
Mentioning Dale, Ron couldn’t help but turn towards the Crystal Pool in the laboratory corner.
The Little Sea Siren was still undergoing deep transformation, but her body had already undergone significant changes.
From the youthful form of a girl, she had matured into the graceful figure of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old maiden.
Her silver hair floated like silk in the water, her face becoming delicate like an artwork.
The most striking was her body’s curves.
Her chest had begun to show the characteristic curves of a young woman, her slender waist and long legs exhibiting the beauty peculiar to puberty.
At this moment, her fin-like ears were slightly twitching, and her body involuntarily swayed a bit.
"It looks like she indeed heard our conversation."
Ron observed these subtle reactions and smiled knowingly:
"If my judgment is correct, there will be a surprise tomorrow morning when she wakes up."
"Really?"
Ailan excitedly floated towards the edge of the pool:
"That’s wonderful! I’ve already started to miss this lively little creature. The laboratory has been too quiet these months, it’s a bit disconcerting."
During dinner, Ron’s thoughts returned to the specific implementation plan for the Active Demon Sword.
After today’s discussion with Uther, he had a clearer plan for this project.
"First, we need to make a Magic Power Amplification Crystal."
He organized the technical route in his mind:
"That blueprint worth 1000 Contribution Points not only enables the Magic Sword to have the function of a magic wand but, more importantly, provides energy support for the puppet’s form transformation."
"Then there’s the fusion of Soul Steel material. The plasticity and magic conductivity of this special metal are just right to combine with the puppet’s active traits."
"The timing choice is key."
Ron calmly analyzed various possibilities:
"I must accumulate enough capabilities within the puppet while also finding an opportunity to complete the magic sword forging, so it can’t actually stay in the Abyss forever."
Just as he immersed in these ideas, a familiar professional panel prompt quietly sounded in the depths of his consciousness:
[Detected special concept, analyzing related professional paths...]
[Discovery: potential combination for convergence:
Magic Swordsman (Two and a Half Stars) + Black Wizard (Three Stars) + Demon Hunter Knight (Two and a Half Stars)]
[Generating fusion profession: Unnamed Profession (Three and a Half Stars)]
This sudden information made Ron raise his eyebrows slightly.
A Three and a Half Stars profession, that’s already a quite high level.
It’s worth noting that Four Stars professions can correspond to the Great Wizard level.
[Unnamed Profession (Three and a Half Stars) transfer conditions:
1. Simultaneously meet all transfer requirements for Magic Swordsman, Black Wizard, and Demon Hunter Knight
2. Have a special carrier:
A fully charged Stand-In Puppet (Calamity Incarnation form)
Thousand Transformations (isolation ability) assistance
3. Spirit Attribute must reach 6.0 or above, Physical Attribute must reach 5.0 or above
4. Complete the "Threefold Awakening Ceremony":
Magic Sword Creation (Magic Swordsman)
Pollution Transformation (Black Wizard)
Will Trial (Demon Hunter Knight)
5. Master "Pollution Separation" technology
Traits: Dual Existence, Abyss Adaptation, Calamity Manifestation, Combat Switching]
Carefully analyzing these conditions, Ron realized that he wasn’t far from achieving the transfer:
"The requirements for Magic Swordsman and Black Wizard can be basically met, and the Demon Hunter Knight has already been completed..."
"Spirit Attribute 6.0 corresponds to breaking through the Moonlight Level Mage. Physical 5.0 is a bit difficult, I still need to work harder on the bloodline path."
"But the key lies in the ’Pollution Separation’ technology and the Threefold Awakening Ceremony."
The channels to obtain this technology are still unclear, but Ron recalled his "Thousand Transformations."
"Perhaps through Historical Research Skills, I could learn relevant technology from its memory."
As for the Threefold Awakening Ceremony, it corresponds to three professions:
Magic Sword Creation — complete the making of the Active Demon Sword
Pollution Baptism — turn the scourge of spiritual contamination to one’s advantage
Will Trial — break through the barriers in the heart
"These challenges, though difficult, are all within a controllable range."
Ron calmly evaluated the probability of success:
"Moreover, the value of those traits..."
Dual Existence, Abyss Adaptation, Calamity Manifestation, Combat Switching...
Each of them represents powerful combat capabilities and survival advantages.
"If I can successfully transfer..."
A sense of anticipation surged in Ron’s heart but was quickly suppressed by rationality:
"I must not be impatient. Every preparation must be perfect."
Ultimately, thousands of paths will converge at one point, leading to a transcendent realm beyond the limits.
Ron looked at the professional panel with the yet-to-be-named special fusion profession, along with the Ancient Alchemist and Mystic Scholar route hints.
He had already sensed the path he would take next...
