The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

The cool, damp sensation spread upwards along the roots, and Moran felt so comfortable that all the petals unfurled, their color changing from dark purple to a bright pinkish-blue.

The leaves unconsciously stretched towards the window, catching the sunlight streaming in.

"This soil is a bit dry..."

Her plant instincts sent a signal of dissatisfaction, and her roots continued to explore deeper, soon encountering the hard walls of the pot. "Hmm... there's still a bit too little space."

The flower at the top shook slightly, seemingly dissatisfied: "If only there were a little more sunlight..."

The moment the thought crossed her mind, Moran froze, her petals instantly contracting into a defensive posture.

She actually adopted the plant's way of thinking completely!

Hastily de-transformed, Moran slumped into a chair, her human-shaped hands unconsciously rubbing against each other to confirm their tactile sensation.

The longing to take root in the soil and the impulse to chase the sunlight all vanished, as if what had just happened was an illusion that was too real.

"No wonder the forums say that when the Spirit Transformation Clan first uses their special skills to transform, their cognition is slightly affected!"

Moran muttered to himself, "Fortunately, it was just a biological instinct that made me lose my mind."

After taking a few deep breaths to calm myself down, curiosity took over again.

Moran turned his attention to another race's unique shapeshifting ability—"Nightcat Shapeshifting".

This time, she made a point of standing in the center of the room to ensure there was enough space around her.

As the skill was activated, an energy completely different from that of plant transformation emanated from the core of the Spirit Metamorphosis race. This time, it felt even more...active.

At the same time, her spine began to bend flexibly, her limbs shortened and thinned, and her nails became sharp and retractable.

The strangest thing was her tail... She had never had a tail before, but now she could clearly feel a new limb extending from her tailbone, and she could even control it freely.

She looked at the mirror that had been placed there beforehand, and saw a cat, entirely black with deep purple eyes, looking at her in the mirror.

Her ears twitched; she thought she heard the clinking of dishes being set up downstairs, and also the soft snoring.

Mo Youye Mao Lan tried to take the first step, and the sensation of her paws touching the ground was unusually acute.

Then my thoughts began to wander involuntarily: the beam on the bookshelf looked like a perfect target to jump over, and the half-open window exuded an alluring sense of adventure.

"Meow...?" The sound she made instinctively startled herself.

When a wisp of wind carried the scent of moths from outside, her ears automatically turned toward the sound source, and her tail swayed excitedly.

I lightly leaped onto the desk, my gaze unconsciously locking onto the moth fluttering on the windowsill, my hind leg muscles automatically tensing, ready to pounce...

"Stop!" Moran regained his senses and deactivated the transformation.

When she stood back in human form, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It seems that whether in plant or animal form, the transformation of the Spirit Transformation Clan brings about corresponding instinctive effects.

Both the tranquil longing of the weeping hyacinth to take root in the soil and the hunting impulse of the night cat were very novel to her.

When reason prevails, the influence of these plant and animal instincts can be quite relaxing.

At least, whether she transformed into a weeping orchid or a night cat, she never thought of reading.

Moran rubbed his eyes, which had returned to normal, and decided to temporarily halt the transformation experiment. His immediate priority was to understand the Beast Speaker profession and learn the Beast Speaker skill books, since he didn't know when dawn would break in the real world, forcing all adventurers to return.

She focused her attention on the "Beast Whisperer Job Template" in her mental sea.

Just like when using the "Universal Skill Book - Dream Language", Moran immediately learned about the abilities of the Beast Speaker class through it.

The Beast Speaker class focuses on developing the animal transformation talents of the Spirit-Transformed race.

After becoming a Beast Speaker, as your level increases, you can learn various animal transformation skills, and your strength while in animal form will also be enhanced.

However, the price is the permanent loss of the ability to learn plant-based transformation skills, except for racially specific transformation skills.

In other words, apart from the "Weeping Orchid Transformation" that is inherent to her race, she can no longer master any other plant forms.

Fortunately, old Groot was also a beast speaker. Of the skill books Moran bought this time, apart from the one called "Grey Mushroom Metamorphosis" which he couldn't use for the time being, the rest were all skills that beast speakers could learn.

However, skill learning is also limited by job level. She brought up the job panel:
[Class: Level 1 Beast Speaker (0/100)]

[Experience: 700]

Without hesitation, I invested all my experience points into upgrading my profession, and the numbers on the panel began to jump rapidly.

[Consuming 700 experience points, the Beast Speaker's level has increased to 7, and mana has increased to 70 points.]

Levels 1 to 10 each require 100 experience points.

For every level a Beast Speaker gains, they gain 10 mana and 1 skill point every 5 levels.

Mana is used to cast magical spells.

Each magic skill consumes a fixed amount of mana, but the skill's effect increases as the user's class level increases.

Animal speakers below level 5 can only learn transformation skills for small land animals, while animal speakers above level 5 can learn transformation skills for small flying animals.

Of the skill books Groot bought, only two are suitable for her to learn right now—"Professional Skills Book - White Cat Transformation" and "Professional Skills Book - Tit Transformation".

In addition, two other Beast Speaker-exclusive nature magic skills have reached the learning level: "Profession Skill Book - Speak Human Language" and "Profession Skill Book - Soothe Animals".

These two are natural magic skills exclusive to Beast Speakers.

With the skill points gained from leveling up, learning Dream Language, and changing races and jobs, she now has a total of 4 skill points, which is just enough to learn all four skill books.

"White Cat Metamorphosis" can transform into a white cat, possessing the agility, perception, and night vision of a feline.

"Tiger Transformation" can transform into a titmouse and gain the ability to fly.

"Speaking Human Language" allows her to speak in her transformed form.

"Pacifying Animals" can soothe ferocious wild animals and make them develop a liking for you.

Even if the White Cat Transformation overlaps with her Night Cat Transformation, Moran doesn't mind, since skill points aren't that scarce for her anyway.

She placed the four skill books on her forehead one by one, and the familiar energy flow reappeared. The pink energy from the Dream Gate enveloped the skill books and settled them in her mental sea.

A notification will pop up on the panel as needed:

[Consumed 4 skill points. Already learned the following skills: "White Cat Transformation", "Tiger Transformation", "Speak Human Language", and "Animal Soothing"] (End of Chapter)
