Li Cunxu was utterly astonished.
It was actually a Fate-type talent, and it had bestowed Xiao Yi with the supreme attribute of Fate.
Attributes are divided into three categories: common attributes, high-tier attributes, and supreme attributes.
Common attributes: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth...
High-tier attributes: Spirit, Dragon, Undead...
Supreme attributes: Holy, Fate, Time, Space...
[Fate Weaver: Constructs a brand-new fate trajectory; no one can escape the control of the fate web.
Trait One: Fate Webbing, influencing others' fates to obtain versatile Fate Points.
Trait Two: Fate Enhancement, Fate Points can increase skill proficiency, strengthen one's own attributes, and spending a vast amount of Fate Points can evolve oneself towards fate.
Trait Three: Fate Warning, if someone within the fate web harbors ill intentions towards you, it can be detected.
Trait Four: Fate Weight, the larger the fate web, the higher the affinity with fate.
Trait Five: Fate Unveiling, others cannot peek into its fate, nor can they peek into the fate of its Beast Tamer.]
"Isn't this just the deep blue enhancement system from novels?"
"It's on par with Xiao Ruan's Nascent God-Kingdom, the Slime's Soul Kingdom."
Li Cunxu marveled.
He also understood once again why the Future Prophet had sealed the Black Hell Incarcerator.
Freak, truly a freak.
"But how to influence others' fates to gain Fate Points? Does helping an old lady cross the street count as influencing someone's fate? I'll try it tomorrow."
"Ah! I'm too weak, I can't obtain Fate-type Skill Seeds, leaving you with the Fate attribute but no skills to use." Li Cunxu suddenly lamented.
The White Spider shook its head, not minding at all. It was already content with the [Fate Weaver] talent.
Not having Fate-type Skill Seeds might not be a bad thing.
Exposing that the White Spider has the Fate attribute could risk it being stolen.
A Beast Tamer's contracted Pet Beast can be stolen in two ways: one is by killing the Beast Tamer, which allows one to take their contracted Pet Beast, though the Pet Beast will also suffer from the contract's backlash due to the master's death; the other is by using some peculiar ability items to strip away the contracted Pet Beast.
Due to the White Spider's exceptionally good Divinely Granted Talent, Li Cunxu was too excited to sleep at night, so he decided not to sleep and instead began studying the Mental Sealing Art.
There are many videos teaching how to learn the Mental Sealing Art, which Li Cunxu often watched, but he had not mastered it for a long time.
Firstly, his spiritual power was too limited before, not enough for Li Cunxu to attempt it.
Secondly, the Mental Sealing Art requires a master to guide with spiritual power on the spot; without a master's on-site teaching, it's very difficult to learn purely through self-study.
As dawn broke, the morning sun gradually revealed itself, casting golden light over the grassland.
Li Cunxu got up early and took the White Spider to test the Divinely Granted Talent [Fate Weaver].
In the elderly park, on the square within the garden, a group of elderly people were practicing Tai Chi. Their movements were slow yet powerful, with serene smiles on their faces, each move revealing the sedimentation of years and the peace within their hearts.
In the park filled with elderly people, Li Cunxu originally planned to have the White Spider help an old lady cross the street, but he soon realized his oversight—the White Spider was too short to assist anyone. It was a miracle if people didn't accidentally step on it.
"How can I influence the fate of others?" Li Cunxu wondered.
"Sisi~ (How about playing chess?)" the White Spider suggested.
Following the direction the White Spider pointed, Li Cunxu noticed several elderly men with silver hair engrossed in a game of chess under a large tree. The crisp sound of chess pieces being moved echoed as they focused intently, seemingly immersed in the intellectual battle of the game.
"Out playing chess at six in the morning? These guys are truly chess enthusiasts!" Li Cunxu remarked with a puzzled expression. He turned to the White Spider and asked, "You know how to play chess? Wait, didn't you live in the Poison Forest Secret Realm? How do you know human chess?"
The White Spider replied, "Sisi~ (In my inherited memories, there's a Widow Red Spider Queen who was particularly fond of chess. I have many of her memories.)"
The Widow Red Spider Queen was infamous for her ferocity, so it was surprising to learn that such a fearsome Pet Beast also enjoyed playing chess. It felt as abstract as a tiger wielding an embroidery needle.
"Let's go take a look," Li Cunxu said.
They watched from the sidelines until the elderly men finished their game. Li Cunxu then spoke up, "My Pet Beast has some knowledge of chess, but I've never been sure of its skill level. Could I ask you gentlemen to test it out?"
If it were Li Cunxu asking, the elderly men might not have agreed. A young man like him could easily be crushed in a game, making it a waste of time. But playing against a Pet Beast was a different story—it was far more intriguing than playing against a young man. It was like how a beautiful woman dancing might not attract much attention, but if a rat were to dance, it would draw a crowd.
The winner of the previous game waved them over. "Come on, let's give it a try."
"Xiao Yi, you're up."
Under the park's large tree, an absurd scene unfolded: a group of elderly men played chess against a small white spider. One by one, the men were defeated, and they took turns challenging the spider until evening fell.
"Did you collect any Fate Points?" Li Cunxu asked.
"Si~ (Yes, I did.)"
"How many did you collect?"
"Sisi~ (10.13.)"
"How much can you strengthen with that?"
"Sisisi~ (Not much. If I were to enhance my strength, it would only increase by a thousandth.)"
Li Cunxu frowned. Strength was the White Spider's weak point, and even with the enhancement, the improvement was minimal. Was it because the collected Fate Points were too few, or was it a limitation of the Fate Weaver?
"If we compare the growth speed of collecting Fate Points today to Xiao Ruan's Soul Kingdom tax growth, the Fate Weaver seems inferior to the Soul Kingdom," Li Cunxu mused. The Fate Weaver didn't appear to be as overwhelmingly powerful as he had imagined.
"We'll continue testing tomorrow," he decided.
The next day, Li Cunxu and the White Spider went to a garbage dump to deliver bottled water to the elderly scavengers there.
On the third day, they had the White Spider guard the Garbage Slime as it cleaned up the trash.
Over the next few days, they tried various activities, and Li Cunxu gradually gained a better understanding of the Fate Weaver ability.
"In short, the deeper your impact on the world, the more Fate Points you gain. And influencing the world doesn't necessarily require direct action—it can also be done indirectly," Li Cunxu concluded.
"For example, creating something that benefits the world, or creating something that disrupts the ecosystem—whether good or bad, as long as it has an impact, you can earn Fate Points."
Li Cunxu handed the Eight-Clove Rainbow Garlic and the Slime Mutation Needle formula to the White Spider.
"Let's go for the Mutated Slime! I have a feeling this will yield a lot of Fate Points."
After entrusting White Spider to the care of Mech Hunter, Li Cunxu headed to the Vein Realm.
This was an underground Black Iron Level Resource Secret Realm, filled with abundant rare metal ores that required manual mining.
With good luck, on
e could strike gold and become rich overnight; with bad luck, one might end up with a pile of less valuable coal.
Li Cunxu wasn't here for the ores, though—he was after the Blood Demon Jewel.
