"Don't worry, everyone, it's completely normal for Master Fuli to speak human language, it's not feudal superstition..."
The Monkey King pulled the villagers to sit down, took out a freshly printed confidentiality agreent for them to sign, and started explaining the current phenonon from a biological perspective.
The master and Yang Bowen were listening, but so of the content about genetics was too profound. After a while, they zoned out instinctively and glanced towards the main hall.
After entering the Mountain Viewing Pavilion area, Master Fuli acted completely at ease, moving the tables from the pavilion hall into the courtyard and sprawled out on top.
"Poof—"
Eight fluffy fox tails were revealed, Lin Bingyun rolled up her sleeves, squeezed so rinse-free body wash into her palm, and rubbed it onto Master Fuli.
"!?"
As Master Fuli revealed eight tails, the villagers' pupils contracted sharply, and their foreheads went wild with question marks.
They stiffly turned their necks to look at the Monkey King.
"....It's the genetic similarity, actually, from a genetic perspective, all life forms on Blue Star don't have any fundantal differences." The Monkey King explained:
"It's normal for foxes to speak, after all, fundantally, everyone is the sa."
They glanced at the Monkey King, were silent for a while, then looked at the white Eight-tailed Fox lying on the table: "......"
Scientifically, we may not understand the technology, but we can barely grasp so theoretical knowledge.
But can you tell us, how can a fox have eight tails hanging behind its rear?
Didn't you say it's not feudal superstition?
Can the body developed like a feudal superstition be legitimate for the Fox Immortal?
The villagers were bewildered, feeling overwheld, while the Monkey King was trying to break feudal superstitions, and all Master Fuli had to do was stand there and reinforce stereotypes.
The villagers felt their hearts were in chaos.
In the master's palm, sohow, a stick of unlit incense appeared, and he silently bowed towards Master Fuli, making a wish.
Yang Bowen's eyes lit up and he imitated him, completely disregarding the Monkey King's twitching mouth.
"Hmm?"
While bathing, Master Fuli glanced at the wish list shimring with golden light, forehead covered in question marks.
"Selling cheap wooden plaques, why worry about being audited, the threshold isn't even a concern, yet you fret over billionaire troubles."
Ansheng shook his head, closed the wish list, ignoring the master's wish, and took a refreshing sip of ice-cold Sprite full of apologies.
After the rinse-free body wash was done, Ansheng sat up from the table, contemplated for a mont, then asked the Ba Mountain Mosquito to close the bronze-studded courtyard doors.
"Housekeeper Lin, hide yourself in the main hall for now, there might be so strange occurrences later." Sitting on the table, Ansheng said to Lin Bingyun.
"Alright..." Lin Bingyun paused for a mont but didn't ask why, instead nodding lightly in agreent.
She watched Lin Bingyun go into the main hall, hiding behind the screen behind the altar.
Ansheng opened the wish list and looked at the data list with a contemplative expression.
"Cousin!"
"Transfer 29 Wish Power points to Physique for !"
Ansheng muttered in his heart, manually guiding the Wish Power with his thoughts to enhance Physique.
But this ti, Ansheng didn't go all in, he didn't experience the exhilarating rush of Wish Power, instead, he displayed an unusual caution.
Although Ansheng felt it was unlikely, in the [King of the Universe] and [First Epoch History], there's a real disease called [Cognitive Disorder].
During the First Epoch, the environnt on Blue Star might have been extrely harsh, so First Epoch Life pursued technological paths for species survival, creating gene banks in their bodies, constructing a Life Blueprint System.
They can use the Life Blueprint to continuously optimize and evolve themselves to achieve immortality.
Controlling the system hub is what's known as [Self Will].
Genes carry vast amounts of information, so once one's will is shocked or shaken, the creature may forget itself or lose control over its own body, transforming into a highly twisted but survival instinct-driven flesh organism.
This was demonstrated in the King of the Universe incident, where the King of the Universe shared a simple truth through personal experience.
Software and hardware need to match; it's not enough to consu oneself with pulling small horses to pull a big cart.
Otherwise, either the software or the hardware is always overclocked in trying to run higher than capacity.
Although overclocking has a high cost-benefit ratio, once it exceeds the threshold, the explosion is very loud.
Though Ansheng feels his path differs from that of First Epoch Life.
There are still similarities; so things require precaution, can't be too reckless.
After all...
I'm an older fox with the young ones depending on ; if sothing happens to , Ah Qing would cry in distress, Lin Ying might even beco despondent and transform into an aunt who binges on Spirit Particle Potion.
[Physique: 210→239]
29 points of Wish Power transford into golden light, completely rging into Master Fuli's body, a faint golden fluorescence appearing on the skin surface, however, obscured by fluffy white plush fur, it wasn't visible to the naked eye.
Sitting on the table, Master Fuli gently shook his front limbs supporting his body, a joyous expression spread across his attractive fox face, humming softly.
[Physique: 239]
[Wisdom: 5]
[Wish Power: 1]
After a mont of comfort, Master Fuli shivered from head to toe, reopened his eyes and looked at the wish list hanging eternally in front of him.
With a thought, Master Fuli moved his will powerter's cursor onto the [Physique attribute]'s ( ) sign.
But Master Fuli didn't click excessively, instead, he held his breath and focused intently on the wish list, as if waiting for sothing.
"No danger?"
Seeing the special danger premonition, [Auspicious Will], wasn't triggered at such a critical mont, Ansheng quietly muttered in his heart.
The danger perception of Auspicious Will inherently activates when facing particularly dangerous things.
Ansheng actually believes in it quite a bit; back in the mountains, the reason he was invincible against spicy sticks (venomous snakes) was because he could always stay one step ahead.
Now with [Auspicious Will] not triggering, it signifies that upgrading to [Nine-tailed Fox] entails no danger.
"All in!"
In the instant of an impulsive thought, perhaps because Ansheng was overly excited, he instinctively lifted his paw and slamd it heavily onto the table.
That last 1 point of Wish Power transford into golden light, flooding into Master Fuli's body.
Behind Master Fuli, a bulge appeared.
Fox's ninth fox tail grew out.
"......."
A mild thrill erged, but that thrill was not as satisfying as Ah Qing rcilessly scratching his chin, after a brief daze, Master Fuli turned around, lifted his little fox paw and started counting.
"1, 2, 3....7, 8....."
"Huh?"
Most of the ti is spent counting; upon counting three tis, he finally tallied only eight tails. Ansheng was stunned, a curious "eh" sound escaped his mouth.
Ansheng suddenly leaped and landed on his tail, separating each one to count.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight; the first eight fluffy large tails were neatly placed on either side, except the last one.
The ninth tail that Ansheng grew was always hidden beneath the other tails, buried away.
"Oh? That's strange, I seem to not really feel this tail's presence....."
Ansheng scratched his head; he felt, intuitively, like his ninth tail seed sowhat problematic.
