119: Chapter 102: Double-Edged Sword 119: Chapter 102: Double-Edged Sword It was still that courtyard amongst the clouds with the sa parties across from each other.
But this ti, the usually calm and smiling woman seed annoyed, whereas the youth that was originally awe-stricken by the scenery, was enjoying his tea with a smirk.
As for Xiao Lo, the observer, she was still watching the spectacle with a grin, just as a professional Gardener and logistics should do when munching on popcorn!
“…How and when did you find out?”
“The first ti we t, I suppose.
When you showed off your gold nail polish, I had a hunch that sothing was off.”
Lu Ping’an recalled the amazing impression she left on him during their first encounter, and also…
“Oh, it’s the color of my nail polish.
Don’t you think it matches well with my hair and eyes?”
Back then, Hua Xueyi confidently flaunted her gold nail polish.
However, when Lu Ping’an returned, he couldn’t shake off a certain suspicion.
Seeing Hua Xueyi’s disbelief, Lu Ping’an chuckled.
“By looking at your makeup, outfits, and general style, it’s clear that you take good care of yourself.
Therefore, why would you, a young and fashionable woman, associate yourself passionately with ‘gold’?”
He gave her gilded figure a thoughtful glance, hinting at sothing.
“Gold, to be honest, pairs well with red.
Purple looks luxurious, and coffee-colored matures.
These colors are irresistible to most girls.
They complent you very well.
Instead, focusing on one gold color is rather overbearing.
Gold itself is too eye-catching.
It diverts people’s attention and makes them overlook your natural beauty.
I don’t think a woman like you, who’s skilled at dressing up, would make such a choice.”
As he laid out his thoughts, the girl’s face turned crimson, and her companion was savoring her popcorn with a “Whoa” look on her face.
“Even if it’s your favorite color, you’d eventually get tired of it, right?
Can a girl stand wearing the sa color for all four seasons?
If it never changes, then it must an you can’t change it, right?
You have to undersell the gold, whether it’s on your fingernails or your skin, if I’m not mistaken…”
The girl took a deep breath.
She felt a shiver as if Lu Ping’an had seen her through from the beginning!
This was by no ans trivial as one’s Talent Abilities were both their greatest advantage and largest weakness.
“…You’re a gung-ho golden fan!”
“Pfft.”
Xiao Lo burst out laughing directly, earning herself a fierce glare from her sister.
Hua Xueyi looked up and saw a teasing smile on Lu Ping’an’s face.
“Alright, co on, it’s a joke.
Don’t be so serious.
Is it Keratin Gold Syndro?”
*Crack!*
Soone’s snack fell on the ground, and Hua Xueyi crushed the soup spoon in her hand.
This reaction was undoubtedly an indication that Lu Ping’an had guessed right.
Keratin, keratin protein, is abundantly present in the horns, nails, and hair of biological creatures and the superficial layer of skin, also known as the keratin layer.
“The composition of hair is 97% keratin.
So, your abnormal ability can be used as a talization of hair, but your fingernails, toenails can beco tal hamrs and stilettos, and your skin can turn into tal armor when necessary.
As you have said, you really don’t need extra equipnt.
You yourself are the equipnt.”
Lu Ping’an sighed, the power level of her Talent Ability, which combined both offense and defense, was shockingly high.
Had he not diluted her Talent Ability with ‘lavender’ and distracted her, his tal blade may not have been able to cut through her skin!
“What a terrifyingly perfect Talent Ability.
You certainly had your reservations, if you had gone all out from the start, using your hands, feet, even your body, I would have definitely lost.”
Lu Ping’an was sincere, but he also understood it was rhetorical because …
“…You knew what my Talent Ability was and even guessed my weakness.
There’s no way I could go all out…”
The difference from the initial limitation of ‘Hair’ was that keratin existed in various parts of the body.
Hence, increasing the strength of the Talent Ability also ant an increased risk of losing control of the Talent Ability.
“I see, so your fighting style is fast and frenzied, desperately pursuing speed and rhythm.
You can’t maintain it for long and don’t dare to either, otherwise, an excess of tallic keratin would accumulate, making you stiff and possibly turning you into a gold statue.”
Hua Xueyi nodded.
There were indeed others at the academy who knew about her secret.
Many top-level healers had dical degrees as well.
She could control the talization of the body’s keratin cells, but the problem is that once it exceeds a certain amount, it easily goes out of control, and too much tallic matter can further slow down the reaction ti.
She was fast and had low impact when she exerted less force, but high output risked losing control.
This could be a common problem for those who dealt with transformations.
Wang Hai needed to control the devil in his heart.
Hua senior sister had to control countless out-of-control cells, making it hard to say who was more dangerous.
The problem was knowing it was one thing, “Over talization” is a natural weakness of Talent Ability, even if she wanted to change it, she couldn’t.
If Hua senior sister wanted to take a step forward, she must find a way to overco this crippling vulnerability.
At this ti, Lu Ping’an suddenly found the landscape out the window interesting.
The two seniors looked at each other, they knew Lu Ping’an was expecting a negotiation.
“I will join Special Service Team Three.”
“I’ll apply too, I think I et the requirents.”
“Xiao Lo!”
At this mont, the plastic sisters beca steel sisters.
“Hmm, I want to see how it is when you are with Lu Ping’an, it should be interesting…*Cough*, I an sharing sorrow and happiness, right?”
Although the words were a bit delicate, the sincerity was indeed ample.
Only Lu Ping’an was still smiling.
“…I am just a temporary worker.”
Now, it was very clear.
It doesn’t matter if you join Special Service Team Three.
I don’t care if you join or not.
Besides, why should we calculate personal favors?
“Are you sure you can help ?”
“Not sure…
but at least there’s a 70-80% chance, provided that you aren’t a part-ti gardener, and there are no other profession vacancies.”
Hearing this, the two won were surprised but delighted.
To restrain the barbaric growth of Talent Ability, the most reliable thing was a profession constraint.
In a sense, this was a long-term chronic disease; it had to be controlled by a similar long-term effective thod, not by resorting to an artifact or secret art to get fast results.
Wang Hai used the “Awakener” to control his heart and “Fighters” to control his body, constantly improving his professional abilities to suppress the War Ghost within himself.
Hua Xueyi was the sa.
“Dancer, Fighter, Soldier, Runner, four professions that control the body.
This girl has a serious problem.”
The big cat had sharp insights.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, the big cat was indeed a sophisticated expert.
As a high-level Healer, he also had a doctoral degree in dicine in this world.
The information for this round of negotiation was undoubtedly given by the big cat as a “friendly gift.” There’s no way Lu Ping’an knew what keratin was, or about the various control thods in the Ten-thousand Worlds.
“The big fish is already hooked, now it’s just about how much to earn.
Hah, if I don’t squeeze you dry, then I’m not Lu Ping’an.”
