Chapter 12 White Ghost Witch

The two ate in silence, and the awkward atmosphere was finally broken by Han Jiangxue.

While picking up a vegetable, Han Jiangxue asked casually, "Does it still hurt?"

"Uh..." Jiang Xiao was happily eating braised pork, praising the young lady's wonderful cooking skills. He hesitated when he suddenly heard Han Jiangxue's question and responded, "A little."

The expressionless face of Han Jiangxue finally changed a little, seeming to feel sorry, but unwilling to show it. She opened her small mouth, and after a long while, she resumed her casual look and said, "Don't film videos like that in the future."

"Okay." Jiang Xiao ate another piece of braised pork, a large mouthful of rice, and was so happy that he almost cried.

It was really unexpected that such a young girl had amazing cooking skills. Could this be her Star Technique?

This braised pork was truly rich but not greasy, and extremely delicious.

Jiang Xiao's head-down eating made Han Jiangxue feel a little distressed. Her little brother was probably scared by her beating. She had indeed hit him too hard when she was angry just now.

Thinking of this, Han Jiangxue put down her chopsticks, got up, and walked out of the kitchen.

Jiang Xiao paused, watching the young lady in the white dress leave. Was she finished eating?

She ate so little?

What a waste!

If you don't consider yourself, you have to consider that airport of yours, right?

Aren't you going to build a C-shaped building on that airport?

Jiang Xiao finished a bowl of rice, looked at the small bowl of rice left by Han Jiangxue across the table, hesitated, then picked it up and continued to gobble it down.

As time passed, the memories in his mind slowly merged, and he became more and more comfortable.

Rationally, he knew that he had nothing to do with this family.

But emotionally, Jiang Xiao was gradually getting into the role.

The result of getting into the role was... throwing down the bowl and chopsticks after eating and leaving.

As for washing the dishes?

Heh, no way.

Jiang Xiao dismissed the idea of ​​putting down his bowl and chopsticks and leaving. After all, he was not Jiang Xiaopi, and differences in personality, behavior, and language would eventually be discovered.

If that was the case, why not make changes from small things? That would also allow Han Jiangxue to accept him better.

Let's start with washing the dishes.

"Where's my rice?" A cold voice suddenly came from behind.

Such a voice always made Jiang Xiao feel very awkward. This ethereal temperament and voice spoke of worldly things like firewood, rice, oil, and salt.

"I thought you weren't going to eat it." Jiang Xiao paused in his action of clearing the dishes.

"Mm." Han Jiangxue seemed to be like that, and didn't argue. She didn't care much about many things, just gestured to Jiang Xiao and said, "Sit down."

"Oh." Jiang Xiao sat down. Was she going to have a meeting?

With the mentality of taking things as they come, Jiang Xiao prepared to integrate into the role as much as possible, and obediently sat down.

"Here." Han Jiangxue spread out her white and tender palm, and a bead shimmering with bronze light appeared in front of Jiang Xiao.

"This is... a Star Bead?" Jiang Xiao's eyes lit up. He was no stranger to Star Beads. In Jiang Xiaopi's memory, Han Jiangxue had given him three Star Beads, which was why Jiang Xiaopi's Star Power was able to reach Star Dust Stage Lv.2.

Unfortunately, Jiang Xiaopi's aptitude was very poor, and most of the energy contained in the three bronze-quality Star Beads was wasted by Jiang Xiaopi.

Of course, Han Jiangxue's purpose in giving Jiang Xiaopi Star Beads was not just to enhance Jiang Xiaopi's Star Power, but to allow Jiang Xiaopi to obtain Star Techniques.

Star Beads are produced by Other Dimension creatures, but not every Other Dimension creature forms a Star Bead.

By absorbing the Star Bead of an Other Dimension creature, one can obtain its ability. This is the only way to obtain Star Techniques.

What makes people sad is that even if you obtain a Star Bead and know that this Star Bead contains the ability of an Other Dimension creature, the probability of people extracting Star Techniques from the Star Bead is appallingly low.

Therefore, the difficulty of obtaining Star Techniques is not low.

Moreover, an important point is that Awakened ones can only absorb Star Techniques as their Star Power increases.

Star Power levels are divided into: Star Dust Stage, Star Cloud Stage, Star River Stage, Star Sea Stage, Star Sky Stage, and possibly higher levels.

Even if a person has more Star Slots and stronger aptitude, they can only embed 4 Star Beads in the Star Map when their Star Power is at the Star Dust Stage, which means they can only have 4 Star Techniques.

After the total amount of Star Power increases to the Star Cloud Stage, they can absorb 4 more Star Techniques.

And when the total amount of Star Power reaches the Star River Stage, a qualitative change will occur, and 8 more Star Techniques can be added, and so on.

These are still too far away for Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiaopi, who had already absorbed three Star Beads, naturally became a member of the masses. Three Star Beads, but he did not absorb any Star Technique.

"Yesterday, I encountered a group of White Ghosts in the Snow Plains. This Star Bead is from a White Ghost Witch." Han Jiangxue said a whole sentence, which was very rare.

After explaining, she stopped talking and placed the fingernail-sized Star Bead on the table in front of Jiang Xiao.

White Ghost tribe?

And this Star Bead isn't from a White Ghost? But from an even rarer species - a White Ghost Witch?

"Absorb it. After all, people's physiques are different. Some people, even if they open the Star Map in their body, may never be able to obtain a Star Technique in their lifetime." Han Jiangxue said a long paragraph again.

Are you comforting me?

Jiang Xiao's expression was a little strange. After combining his memories and knowing the preciousness of the Star Bead in front of him, he secretly sighed in his heart.

Seeing that Jiang Xiao didn't move, Han Jiangxue also felt Jiang Xiao's pressure and continued to comfort him: "Your aptitude is not high, and your Star Map only has 9 stars. This has already determined your upper limit. Even if you can't absorb a Star Technique, you don't have to be too sad. It's okay."

Jiang Xiao: ???

Jiang Xiao finally raised his head and looked at Han Jiangxue with a helpless expression. He knew that this girl was doing it out of kindness, but why did her words make him so annoyed?

Indeed, Jiang Xiao's Star Map was the "Big Dipper", with nine dim stars representing nine Star Techniques. Similarly, this also represented the upper limit of growth.

To put it bluntly, nine stars represent nine skill slots. Even if Jiang Xiao plays it to the fullest, he can only obtain nine Star Techniques at most.

Generally speaking, the number of star slots represents a person's aptitude. It can not only distinguish the number of Star Techniques that an Awakened can obtain, but also allow people to directly see the space for development.

This is the standard formed by human society after countless experiments.

When facing Star Beads of the same quality, an Awakened with 20 Star Slots can obtain Star Techniques more easily than an Awakened with 1 Star Slot.

Jiang Xiao's Star Map is the "Big Dipper", while Han Jiangxue's Star Map is a raging white flame.

Through the connection of Star Slots and the distribution and rendering of Star Power, the Star Map displayed by Han Jiangxue during battle is simply terrifying.

A full thirty Star Slots!

This represents the number of Star Techniques she can obtain and her growth aptitude!

Jiang Xiao picked up the Star Bead on the table. Before he could absorb it, a picture suddenly popped up in his mind.

"White Ghost Witch Star Bead (Bronze Quality)

Star Techniques:

1. Blessing: Slowly restores the target's vitality. (Bronze Quality, Upgradable)
2. Decoy: Creates an illusion to confuse the enemy. (Bronze Quality, Upgradable)

Merge and absorb?"

What does this mean? Absorb or not? And "merge" to absorb?

What does this represent? Two skills in one Star Slot?

Even if others have Star Beads, they may not be able to absorb a single Star Technique in their entire lives, but he can directly absorb it?

Including the "Upgradable" mark behind, you must know that even if others absorb a Star Technique, it will be fixed at the quality when the skill was absorbed and cannot be improved anymore.

But Jiang Xiao can improve the quality of a skill?

What kind of golden finger is this!?

Could it be that after the system introduced Jiang Xiaopi three days ago, his mentality completely collapsed? Damn, this is really a chosen one!

"Don't be reluctant. Absorb it. I can go and get another one." Han Jiangxue said impatiently, waving her hand indifferently. She also knew Jiang Xiao's aptitude and that her little brother was a big pit.

Han Jiangxue continued, "The White Ghost Witch has two Star Techniques. One is to heal the injuries of teammates, and the other is to create illusions. Both abilities are very good..."

As she spoke, Han Jiangxue saw Jiang Xiao, who had been hesitating, suddenly light up his eyes, and the Star Bead in his hand turned into starlight, drilling into his chest.

Even if Han Jiangxue's personality was indifferent, at this time, she had a hint of expectation, tilted her head, and asked, "Did you gain a Star Technique?"

Jiang Xiao felt the starlight pouring into his body, opened his eyes, and nodded.

Han Jiangxue's beautiful eyes lit up, and as her cold face slightly eased, it was as if the whole world warmed up.

Jiang Xiao looked at the bright-eyed girl in front of him, and his mood also improved a lot.

Han Jiangxue said softly, "Which Star Technique did you gain?"

Which Star Technique?

The former Jiang Xiaopi had no choice,

I, Jiang Xiao, want both!
