Quick Transmigration: Is it Better to be a Beta? Chapter 100: 4.18

anwhile, a few streets away from Ye Cheng and Tang Muxin's thrifty shopping ti, a dragon and a rooster were taking a nice leisurely stroll.

Jia Hyson chirps happily as he lightly tugs at Da Gong's feathers, indicating him to take a turn like the bird was a horse, and he was holding the reins.

Da Gong clucks and indulgently plays along, feeling his worm is very cute when he is spoilt like this.

His worm has also gotten a little chubbier too, no longer so light that Da Gong worries about his worm rolling off his back whenever a strong wind passes by. Thinking of the human woman's cooking which is the cause of this positive change, Da Gong was no longer so unsatisfied with her presence.

Actually, the human woman turned out to be quite sensible ah. His human, Ye Cheng, brought her out to teach her human skills and the woman left his worm alone with him. Not to ntion, when she makes food she always feeds Da Gong and the worm first out of all the other animals.

Clearly, Da Gong must and his previous thinking of the howrecker. She was a good human who understands privacy and recognises his sovereignty. Plus, she didn't like to chirp and cluck as much as Ye Cheng.

Tang Muxin: '...' Before I have even gotten a boyfriend, I seem to have gotten a rooster-in-law ah.

Jia Hyson is also very satisfied with his 'saintess'. Just a few days of having the all important three als a day plus snacks and he had finally unlocked the important foundational skills [Year of the Dragon] and [Pure Golden Dragon Blood Lineage].

[Year of the Dragon] is a passive skill that only can be activated in healthy reptiles which will naturally boost their basic physical and not so physical traits by 50%. If the body is of an actual dragon those traits will have an extra 25% boost on top of the previous 50%. Speed, endurance, defense, magic and lee... with this skill Jia Hyson will no longer be so worried about survival.

It will also give the owner a greater affinity to similar creatures. Lizards, snakes, other dragons and related reptilian creatures will always have a good initial impression and favouribility toward a person with this skill.

[Pure Golden Dragon Blood Lineage] is even more overpowered. However as a special bloodline type skill, it cannot be activated unless the owner has at least a drop of golden dragon blood in their bodies. If a host wanted to permanently keep this skill they would have to pay an exorbitant price of 66.6666 million p. Even if Jia Hyson sohow managed to steal this skill back, he would still have to pay the 66.6666 million in order to activate it since he doesn't have any dragon blood inside him. In short, it's probably the one skill he actively hopes he doesn't steal.

However many people would still be interested in it despite the disgustingly high price. The golden dragon in Chinese culture is the most revered, representing the emperor and symbolizing prosperity, health, wisdom and compassion. Even westerners not familiar with eastern culture will hear 'Golden Dragon Blood lineage' and imdiately assu it to be a very aweso thing.

In fact all bloodlines are aweso things. It's practically a package of great support skills in one and can also automatically boost any skills you already have that have a relation to the bloodline type. For example a Water Nymph bloodline can give you control of water, breathe underwater, an increased chance to find underwater treasure etc, will enhance the effects of any water related skills and is fairly compatible with most other bloodlines other than fire and undead related ones.

The only downside is that it's not like clothing where you can switch it out easily, generally one can only have three bloodlines at the sa ti and the price to take one away is double the cost of it's original price. Not to ntion, if one of the bloodlines is incompatible to another, then the best case scenario is that half their skills are rendered useless and worst case scenario is self-detonation. It's a bit like choosing a college or university degree really.

If you want to invest in bloodlines it's better to plan long term, save, and then plan so more. There is even a bloodline consultation that will help a host determine the best bloodlines to pick according to their preferences and current job, in a given budget. They also look at your previous work results, character reviews from their system and other individuals that have previously interacted with the host, and can offer discounts if satisfied enough.

Really... really like choosing a degree in higher education ah.

Jia Hyson shudders. What a short yet anxiety fuelled period of his life.

Bebe: 'You know you'll have to do that again one day right?'

Jia Hyson: 'But decisions are so hard.'

Bebe: '....Do you hear that?'

Jia Hyson: 'No. But is what I'm hearing, you not giving a damn about my whining?'

Bebe: '....Yes.'

Bebe: 'Why must you ruin everything?'

Jia Hyson: 'Cuz you suck.' (-)b

Bebe: _ '...'

Anyway [Pure Golden Dragon Blood Lineage] is really close to a god tier bloodline. After all it's a bloodline that has powers related to fortune as well as powers that improve attack and defense value of a host. However after so consideration it was set as a heaven tier bloodline.

The grades of bloodline from highest to lowest are- god, heaven, mythical, then either immortal, demonic, supernatural or magical which are roughly ranked the sa but are grouped by different attributes.

The [Pure Golden Dragon Blood Lineage] skills that support fortune and karma is god tier but the other supporting powers which are rated mythical tier and below brought the overall bloodline rating down. Still, [Pure Golden Dragon Blood Lineage] should be considered half a step towards god tier anyway. It's a bloodline that gives the host, protagonist level luck, and not the type of luck where protagonist A finds an amazing treasure and A's whole family dies, but the sort of heaven defying luck with little karmic balance.

To make it even easier to understand... Normal people should, in general, experience 50% good luck and 50% bad luck in their lives. Protagonists may have 60% good luck, 22% great luck, 15% bad luck and 3% extrely tragic luck. But with the [Pure Golden Dragon Blood Lineage], good luck will be around 70%, great luck 25%, bad luck 3.75% and extrely tragic luck 1.25%.

Not to ntion, the host will also be more sensitive to karma and fate. With the skill [Karmic Insight] the effects for both are boosted greatly and gives the individual almost prophetic abilities but unlike prophets who generally give out long term, vague predictions [Karmic Insight] is far more flexible.

For example, if A has [Karmic Insight] and is arrives at a crossroads, they can look to the path on the west and be able to sense good fortune and bad karma suggesting if they go that direction they will be able to gain so wealth but at a moral cost that will co back to bite them such as stealing a treasure from corpses.

Then they'll look at the eastern path and see a bit of bad fortune and good karma, possibly soone down this road needs sothing from you. Of course even if you go down the road, if you don't loot the imaginary corpses or help the imaginary person the karmic fate of course changes again.

The higher level the skill is, the further and more detailed A can see, to the point where they can determine the very actions others can make to gain the best luck, wealth and happiness. Even the simplest decision or lack of one can greatly influence things.

After all, fate is not the most straightforward thing, it is like the veins of a tree. A prophet may be able to see the most probable future at that point in ti but a person with a high levelled skill like [Karmic Insight] will practically have the ability to see various futures at once.

Anyway, the point is Jia Hyson is very happy and is equally as eager to activate [Karmic Insight]. That can be his 'thing' as a mascot character. His raison d'etre. Other than being super cute and witty of course ah. (/*)o

Bebe: _ '...'

And sowhat just as importantly, with the lineage activated, and the inherited knowledge of his ancestors , Jia Hyson can now easily understand and speak to other animals.

Of course once the bloodline is no longer available to him he will only be able to recall the words that he had managed to proactively learn. Unfortunately with such a good golden finger it is difficult to not rely on it blindly over ti.

It's like between morizing the encyclopedia and having access to google, once you have the convenience of the latter who the fuck wants to do the forr? However if there is no Internet and no google to rely on would they rember the previous knowledge they had learnt in the sites?

Jia Hyson who has a poor mory and attention span can confidently say- hell to the no.

Sure they'll always be a few things people will rember due to their own personal interests but even Jia Hyson whose brain can only easily retain good stories and ideas won't be able to rember the finer details. Overall, the advantages of this universal translator golden finger is good but unless it's permanent then it can only give short term benefits.

'Bebe, after this world...' Jia Hyson sighs, 'Sign up for four basic animal languages courses. I want reptile, dostic fowl, feline and canine.' These were the ones he was more familiar with thanks to practical experience. It's best to consolidate it imdiately once the golden finger expires.

'Host' Bebe is a bit moved and imdiately signs him up before Jia Hyson could regret it.

How can it not know that Jia Hyson is lazy and hated foreign language classes the most? Even in his original world, the grades for his foreign language classes were so bad the tutor and his parents had completely given up on him. The only reason Jia Hyson had even worked so hard on mastering the english language in the first place was only because Arican movies and other dia tended to be consistently superior to dostic shows.

Fucking chinese censorship laws. Forcing him to learn english. And also restricting people's right to access information. But, the english thing, mostly.

Jia Hyson sighs again. He never thought that becoming a host would involve so much school.

"You okay?" Da Gong clucks, sensing his worm is a bit absentminded. Carefully he slows his pace, worried that his worm may slip and fall in it's daze.

"En," Jia Hyson smiles and pats coquettishly at the black rooster's neck. He couldn't help but feel a bit shy listening to Da Gong after the lineage kicked in. Before, Da Gong still sounded like any other rooster. But once Jia Hyson could fully understand, comprehend and distinguish between animal voices, he realised Da Gong's voice was really quite quite handso ah. ( )

Jia Hyson: 'His clucking is a bit deeper than other roosters, bit husky and his clucks are slow and clear. Even his warbles are just, ahhhh.' (/*)o

Bebe: '.......' Ew.

Only it's host can use a super rare bloodline skill and make it fucking weird.

Jia Hyson lifts his head up, eyes glowing faintly as he looks around before tugging at Da Gong's feathers, "That way please,"

Da Gong clucks affirmatively and begins to trot along. Jia Hyson gives him a soft kiss to his cheek in encouragent. Da Gong doesn't say anything in response but his feathers were a bit fluffed up and his pace had beco noticeably faster. Seeing this, Jia Hyson buries his head into the soft black feathers shyly.

Aiyah, why was this guy so cute?! (,,,>
