Chapter 334
by post_apiChapter 334: The New Reincarnator?
Lin Yu ultimately selected the skill “Rain Blade Storm.”
Her choice stemmed primarily from witnessing Flossie’s prior demonstration of this ability.
The countless plummeting rain blades were nearly impossible to evade, leaving blocking as the sole defense.
Though the other two skills might possess greater destructive potential, their descriptions clearly indicated significantly inferior accuracy compared to “Rain Blade Storm.”
For wide-area magic, she reasoned, reliable targeting should outweigh raw power.
After finalizing all Gift Options and the Voice of Heaven’s guidance faded, Lin Yu meticulously reviewed her status panel.
Upon reaching Class S at LV.30, her Health Value Limit now exceeded six thousand. While strength and agility remained modest two-digit figures, her intelligence, Physical Resistance Ability, elemental magic resistance ability, and Abnormal State Resistance Ability all soared into triple-digit territory – her intellect reaching an astonishing 310 points.
Only the deliberately neglected Magic Value Limit remained comparatively low at fifteen hundred.
A noticeable improvement indeed!
Perhaps her current strength could… well, realistically still fell short against Flossie’s might.
“Mother! We shattered the cave’s magic formation!”
Purple Mist’s triumphant shout echoed from the dragon lair’s entrance as Lin Yu finished her assessment.
Nodding in acknowledgment, the white-haired girl hesitated mid-stride, her gaze shifting toward Class B ant-clan members scavenging the battlefield.
Their cleanup involved gathering scattered remnants from Dragon Flossie’s combat – precious Class S monster materials like crystalline scales and dragonflesh too valuable to abandon.
“Dig One.”
Lin Yu addressed the scale-collecting Earth Digging Ant.
Dig Two appeared absent, likely foraging farther afield.
The ochre-colored ant froze at her summons, rotating with comical bewilderment as it tilted its segmented head.
«Mother? What requires attention?»
“Approach me.”
«At once.»
The dutiful worker promptly discarded its cargo of shimmering scales, scurrying over with eager clicks of mandibles.
Among Earth Digging Ants, Lin Yu had only interacted with Dig One and Dig Two thus far.
Both proved commendably obedient.
She found herself anticipating their eventual humanoid transformations.
When the ant reached her, Lin Yu affectionately stroked its chitinous crown.
“May I ride upon you?”
«Eh?!»
The abrupt request froze Dig One mid-nuzzle, its antennae twitching in stunned silence as compound eyes stared upward.
“Do you not want to?”
“Ah, I do! Please ride me without fail!”
After snapping back to reality, Dig One raised her front limbs and declared earnestly.
See? She volunteered willingly.
The distance from here to that absurdly massive dragon cave entrance remained considerable, and even after entering, we’d likely need to traverse further—truth be told, I couldn’t be bothered to walk.
Not like it’s the first time we’ve used a daughter as transport anyway.
The silver-haired girl commanded the creature to lower herself before gracefully mounting.
They reached the cavernous mouth of the dragon’s lair astride Dig One.
The looming cave grew even more imposing at close proximity.
“This way! Over here!”
Purple Mist fluttered ahead as their vanguard through the shadowed passage.
Several minutes of progression later, Lin Yu’s eyes fell upon her daughters—petite, willowy, and voluptuous figures alike—clustered around a collection of sizable eggs, their animated discussion echoing through the chamber.
Upon arrival, the silver-haired matriarch dismounted from Dig One’s back.
“Mother, these are the dragon eggs—fifteen in total,” Magic Rainbow preemptively answered before the question could form.
“How shall we handle them?”
Red Pupil chimed in from beside them, crimson eyes gleaming.
The conundrum deserved contemplation.
Boil them? Roast them? Though roasting might make them burst… Ah, perhaps pan-frying would suffice!
Now, now—only jesting.
These were dragon eggs after all; treating them like common poultry seemed criminally wasteful.
Lin Yu surveyed the ovoid treasures, each standing nearly half a meter tall with subtly varied hues shimmering across their scaled surfaces.
Yet the essential question remained—what fate should befall them?
Appraisal first, decisions later.
Selecting one specimen, Lin Yu focused her analytical gaze:
——
Name: None
Race: Dragon (Egg)
Qualification: S
Class: None
Level: LV.1
Health Value: 1/1
Magic Value: 0/0
Skills: None
Attributes: Strength 0
Agility 0
Intelligence 0
Physical Resistance Ability 0
Elemental Magic Resistance Ability 0
Abnormal State Resistance Ability 0
——
Truly a dragon egg… Its qualification is S.
The other attributes on the panel mirror those of ant eggs—it seems all unhatched beings share identical stats.
The remaining fourteen eggs must be the same, I suppose.
Hmm… Better confirm with Appraisal.
She began inspecting each egg systematically.
When she reached the sixth, Lin Yu froze mid-motion.
The lower attributes matched the previous eggs, but the section above…
——
Name: Betty Gabriel
Race: Dragon (Egg)
Qualification: S+
——
This dragon egg… has a name?!
Moreover, the name resembles those foreign-sounding ones from my past life…
And its qualification is S+…
So far, every S+ entity I’ve encountered—Miyoshi Mitsui, Luo Yong, and that blond guy—has been a fellow reincarnator.
Could this egg contain another reincarnator?
Lin Yu presented her findings to her daughters.
Having only recently breached the magic circle, they hadn’t appraised the eggs before her arrival.
After hearing Lin Yu’s report, they collectively examined the peculiar egg.
The group then proceeded to inspect the remaining nine dragon eggs.
All showed S qualifications with blank name fields.
“Mother’s hypothesis holds merit. This egg might indeed harbor a reincarnator,”
Red Pupil stated.
A weighted silence descended.
Every ant present, including Lin Yu, contemplated their next move.
They knew the dangers of reincarnators firsthand—none who’d emerged thus far could be considered benign.
Magic Rainbow and others argued for immediate destruction of all eggs, including the suspect one, to eliminate risks.
True to form, Magic Rainbow voiced this proposal to Lin Yu.
“…What does Mother think?”
“Hmm…”
What’s the right course?
Acting rashly might cement my role as the villain here.
I should remember—we’re the principled ant faction.
“Let’s devour them! Hand these to Little Liquor—we’ll feast on glorious egg dishes tonight!”
The green-haired girl interjected eagerly.
“Mother wants to taste them too, yes?”
I’m not some glutton!
Lin Yu side-eyed Lvzi.
“Secure the eggs for now. We’ll revisit this matter later.”
