“Honk!”

The outer district of Yeet City housed a new manor and a monster beast farm. Specifically, it was a goose farm.

One acre of land was partitioned for an animal house and a grassland. Another half was made into a pond while the mansion occupied another acre. The last portion of the land was used to grow vegetables and herbs.

At the moment, only ten fluffy yellow baby geese were inside the animal house, chirping and pecking spirit corn kernels. The rest of the fed baby monster beasts flocked around Cao Mao, who was sitting and honking at them.

“Honk! (Who are we?)”

Chirp (We are Geese!)

“Honk! (What do we want?)”

Chirp (We want Food!)

“Honk! (What do we get?)”

Chirp (Shitty corns!)

“Honk! Honk! (Wait a second, that’s the best food I have? What dafuq do you brats want to eat!?)”

Chirp (Pussies!)

“HONK!! (Are you motherfucking Zeus!? You’re not even a swan! Why do you want pussies when your dicks haven’t even grown!?)

Chirp (Pussies taste like fish!)

“Honk!? (I have a few questions. How the fuck do you know that?)”

Cao Mao couldn’t deny the fact. Most of the time, they tasted like armpit. But when one of the girls ate too much red meat, their things had a fishy odor.

The conversation between Cao Mao and the geese was the byproduct of practicing Goose Tongue. It enabled him to communicate with waterfowl monster beasts, and he could tame them.

The skill seemed useless at glance. However, at the higher level, Cao Mao could use Waterfowl Shout, which was similar to Dragon Shout in Skyrim. Although it wasn’t as versatile as the Dragon Shout, the Waterfowl Shout could weaken and disrupt Qi-and-essence based attacks, which provided another defensive layer in ranged combats.

Moreover, when these monster beasts grew older and got stronger, they could provide fire supports for Cao Mao. An adult monster goose could grow as big as a 3-meter-tall, and they could use water, earth, and wind element Qi. Their combat potential could be on par with any 6th-stage expert.

Unfortunately, before they could reach such a level, they required a decade of care and protection. After all, the monster goose’s meat and eggs were precious. Cultivators searched for them as their meat contained mild water element Qi, which was an important ingredient to water grain pills, a pill that could increase their water element Qi volume.

For the sake of such strong pets, Cao Mao invested in the geese and the goose farm. He exchanged 100 medium-grade weapons to purchase these geese from the neighboring provinces so that he could practice Goose Tongue and raise these monster beasts at the same time.

After months of practice in the real world and the Isolation Space world, the system finally acknowledged his effort.

Congratulations, you have completed the 9th tutorial quest.

You have unlocked a new feature, Skill Fusion.

Skill Fusion can combine your skills, copied skills from yin slaves, and self-learned skills to create a new skill. After the fusion, the used system skills will be deleted, excluding non-system skills and skills of yin slaves.

You will not lose the self-learned skills or copied skills of yin slaves upon using the fuse option. However, you can only use them once a year. Also, the skill, produced by this method, cannot be fused until the cooldown is over.

This was what Cao Mao was looking forward to playing around with the system skills. He had been practicing various skills in preparation for the feature.

Cao Mao summed his system menu to view his skill list right away.

Through these 9 months, Cao Mao didn’t spar with many 200% clones since he focused on increasing his Yin and Yang Essence to buy Ring of Yin Slaves for the girls, so he could copy their skills. His cultivation base was also capped at the max level of the 3rd stage.

The system gave him another restriction.

Please complete all tutorial quests and accept a protagonist hunt quest to unlock the next cultivation realm.

Cao Mao couldn’t help it since this useless system always nerfed his cultivation base, forcing him to focus on this task.

At present, Ju Chen and yin slaves got their precious rings, the Ring of Yin Slave. All their skills, except for their element mastery, was copied and listed in Cao Mao’s system menu.

Most yin slaves possessed the same skillset. However, Ju Chen and Kang Yan stood out from the rest.

Jiang Lan and yin slaves could use ice manipulation, ice shield array, and succubus sense. They could also use Yin Flame. However, Cao Mao had already mastered Dual-Flame, so the system didn’t list the skill for him.

Kang Yan’s talent in swordsmanship surpassed Cao Mao. She studied under Jia Shan later than him, but she had already reached the one-with-the-sword state of mind. Furthermore, she obtained enlightenment while she was practicing Simplified Murder Sword Formation, and she came up with a skill of her own, Death Sword Formation.

Because of her diligence, talent, and the dual-cultivation perk, Kang Yan’s strength reached the great circle of the 4th-stage, Essence Gathering Realm, surpassing other girls, who got stuck at the initial 4th-stage.

Despite Kang Yan’s achievement, it seemed cute when compared with Ju Chen.

The glutton vampire girl was the owner of several deadly skills, Vampiric Touch, Vampiric Sense, Blood Manipulation, Blood Extraction, Blood Soldier Formation, and Dance of Death. All these skill names seemed badass, but that didn’t compare to her hidden cultivation base.

Ju Chen was a realm stronger than Kang Yan, the 5th-stage, Foundation Establishment Realm. She had already comprehended two elements, blood element, and ice element. After Cao Mao had completely brainwashed her, she revealed her strength, which terrified everybody.

As for Wei Yuan, the dual-cultivation boosted her strength to the intermediate essence gathering realm as well. Unfortunately, Wei Yuan could not become his yin slave due to her demonic constitution and her resistance to the brainwashing effect, so she could not wear the slave ring. Cao Mao couldn’t learn her abilities.

At the moment, Cao Mao put the yin slave matters to the back of his head. He opened another system panel, the skill fusion feature.

In this menu, there were 10 slots, which Cao Mao could add the skills into. At the bottom, the only button, FUSION, was flashing in golden light, tempting him to click it. Meanwhile, on the right side of the menu, it showed the possible results.

Cao Mao tested the fusion feature by putting Yin Fire Immunity and Yang Fire Immunity together.

BZZ

You cannot fusion physique, bloodline, or immunity.

Please upgrade this feature by collecting Heavenly Fortune Blessing from dead protagonists.

Current Heavenly Fortune Blessing, one.

The requirement for the next upgrade, five.

Note, this feature automatically upgrades when you have enough Heavenly Fortune Blessing. The number of blessings will not decrease upon usage.

Cao Mao had a pokerface when the system encouraged him to kill four more protagonists to upgrade this system feature. It sounded like a scam.

Since Cao Mao couldn’t combine his physique, immunity, or bloodline yet, he turned toward his other skills. He added two minor skills, Body Cleansing, and Turtle Breathing, to the boxes.

The system allowed him this time.

As soon as the two skills were added to the left panel, the right screen changed.

.

Possible Results

85% Breath of Cleansing

10% Breath of Purification

4% Hibernating Breath

1% Longevity Breath

.

Cao Mao’s face twitched. He didn’t like these chance-based results since he had PTSD from mobile gacha games. Nothing good would come out of gambling.

But then, his heart thumped. The 1% chance Longevity Breath glowed in rainbow color.

Ding

You have a piece of Heavenly Fortune Blessing with you. Once a year, you can turn any percentage chance to 100%.

As expected from a cheating blessing from a protagonist, it could even cheat the system.

Still, Cao Mao chose not to use the once-a-year cheat for now. After all, there might be some combination that could create the ultimate skill.

“What if I put all my swordsmanship skills in here?”

Nine fusion slots were filled with the following skills,

Qing Swordsmanship +20

Million Rapier Dance +20

Butterfly Sword Style +20

Iron Wall Sword Fortress +20

Stripper Swordsmanship

Rakshasa Swordsmanship

Incomplete Fire Dragon Saber Style

Simplified Murder Sword Formation

Death Sword Formation

Some of the abilities belonged to the saber and rapier style, but Cao Mao didn’t care since they were similar to a sword technique.

Ding

It only took a few seconds for the system to process the possible results.

And the list of new skills was interesting.
