Chapter 648: The Creation Before Him
Chapter 648: The Creation Before Him
"Bioengineering, Oviposition, Apex Predator, Insect Metamorphosis!!???"
"..."
Lindsey stepped into the Hero Altar and promptly walked out, having made his decision.
There were two pieces of news, one good and one bad.
The good news was that Lindsey could indeed undergo hero transformation at the Hero Altar.
But the bad news was that he could only do this once, and he had to choose one of the three bases.
Previewing the skills he could acquire, especially the one called Oviposition, Lindsey wasted no time and left the Insect Nest's altar without hesitation.
"Even if it's just a face-changing skill, it can let me alter my body's gender at will."
"But..."
"No, no, absolutely not!"
Lindsey wasn't prepared to make such a decision for the sake of strength, especially with two other options available.
So, he decisively abandoned the transformation offered by the Insect Nest.
After suggesting a hero name for the Mourners, Lindsey focused on base construction, building structures that didn't require high-energy gas resources for the Insect Nest.
From then on, it was all good news.
Larger and more powerful insect units were unlocked one by one, and the subsequent bugs produced had more than doubled in combat capability and were more versatile!
As for production...
Although the Advanced Incubation Pool also required high-energy gas, it couldn't be constructed at the moment.
However, with the advancement of time, the Cloning Pool's capacity increased, causing the insect population to surge once again!
After settling the affairs at the Insect Base and making arrangements for the Mourners, Lindsey returned to the Forest Capital with the other hunters.
This time, they were in a hurry.
With the boost from the Swift Boots, their speed increased significantly.
Upon their arrival at the Forest Capital, Lindsey, as usual, addressed his people.
After completing his work, his first action was to head to the city center and activate the Hero Altar on the forest side.
Workers promptly arrived.
Before long, the construction of the Hero Altar in the Forest Capital bore fruit, and it lacked the sinister aura of the Insect Nest's altar.
A tall rock platform was erected within the forest, surrounded by four massive, pitch-black oak trees, giving the entire altar an ancient and rustic charm. The sparse feather and wood carvings added a touch of mystery.
From a distance, this hidden forest Hero Altar resembled an ancient forest temple.
Gazing at the structure before him, Lindsey nodded in satisfaction.
Just as he was about to eagerly enter and try the forest's hero transformation, the sound of a wheelchair interrupted him.
"Lindsey, what new creation have you brought us this time?"
"..."
Lindsey turned to see that familiar voice and, sure enough, found Hilda approaching him again after noticing his return.
The writer girl had also noticed the appearance of the Hero Altar.
The shift in fate's trajectory made her aware of the altar's extraordinary nature, but her attention remained primarily on Lindsey.
Seeing Hilda's excitement, Lindsey hesitated.
The ordinary training facilities in the Forest Capital, when accumulated, could help Hilda regain her strength up to the third phase.
But this Hero Altar...
Lindsey was certain it would bring about a leap in Hilda's progress!
"Lindsey, what's wrong?"
As Lindsey paused briefly, Hilda wheeled herself closer.
The writer girl sensed something more.
Her crimson eyes narrowed, and through her perception of emotions, she also discerned Lin Sai's current mood.
"Oh, Lin Sai, you're hesitating? I can even see a faint trace of worry in your heart!"
"And, is Fate connecting me?"
Hilda looked at the Hero Altar, as if examining her own fate.
"Could this thing restore my strength?"
Relying on the nature of a Phase Seven writer, the writer girl quickly grasped everything and uncovered the truth.
A subtle smile appeared on her face.
Hilda almost pressed her face against Lin Sai's abdomen and proposed a test in a seductive voice.
"Lin Sai, if you don't permit it, I definitely won't use it."
"But if you have the courage to let me undergo this transformation, then I promise you, my power will be entirely dedicated to you!"
"..."
Lin Sai remained silent.
After a few minutes, he turned to Hilda.
"Hilda, are you willing to destroy your own creation?"
"Huh?" The writer girl blinked, speaking in a matter-of-fact tone, "Destroy my own creation? How could I? A person who does such a thing can't even be called a writer!"
Lin Sai pointed at the Forest Capital. "Then look at this city, look at every building, the smiles on every face, and the emotional fluctuations you can see. All of this is the story you've written with your own hands."
As his words fell, Lin Sai left Hilda in deep thought and walked towards the Hero Altar.
He climbed the stone steps to the center of the altar.
Confirming his transformation into a hero, without the nutritional power of the fungal mat, but the powerful life force of the forest, guided by the altar, flowed towards his body.
Lin Sai relaxed his body, accepting this power.
New words began to appear on his attribute panel, and he also gained additional enhancements.
[Forest Hero: Lin Sai]
[Level: 1]
[Skills: 0/1]
[Inventory: None]
It was still a concise panel, and Lin Sai first focused on the inventory.
The classic setting—6 slots.
It could hold armor, accessories, weapons, and even consumables and other objects.
At the same time, due to Lin Sai's own RPG module influence, the equipment in this inventory could only enjoy attribute and buff bonuses and couldn't have six weapon traits simultaneously.
"Even so, it's still exaggerated."
"Add six accessory slots!"
Lin Sai nodded slightly.
He looked outside the altar, where Hilda still sat in her wheelchair, deep in thought about something.
So, while checking his skills, he approached the writer girl.
[Adventure Expert - Increases Agility attribute, with a chance to dodge enemy attacks.]
[Dragon Hunter - When attacking legendary creatures, there's a chance to trigger a critical hit, doubling the damage.]
[Nature's Blessing - Increases resistance to various attacks.]
[Hero Incarnation - For a short time, gain a heroic aura; enhance all attributes; greatly increase immunity to Essence Skills.]
Lin Sai descended from the altar.
While studying his skills, he posed a question to the girl before him.
"Hilda, the choice is yours."
"If you feel that the creation before you is worth preserving and continuing, then go up and accept the altar's enhancement."
