Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

Let's go back ten minutes.

Jiang Mian walked along the street, clearing away the bodies of the diseased patients lying dead on the street. Some of the diseased patients who didn't know any better tried to take advantage of her.

These fellow beings are indeed pitiful, but they have now lost their minds and are about to transform into a calamity, beyond redemption.

She showed no mercy and promptly sent them on their way.

Over time, the core has become fully developed.

Jiang Mian stood quietly in the middle of the street, a few familiar lines of text appearing before her eyes:

[Ferocious Flames] has been automatically upgraded to [Incineration].

The marked area is increased to forty meters. After the flames are extinguished, an "ember zone" will be left in place, which will last for three days. Anyone who gets close will be ignited by the "fire."

[Gale] has been automatically upgraded to [Whirlwind]

The wind field range and power have increased, the perception range and operational precision have improved, and other elements can be integrated when activated.

He got promoted! He got promoted!

This time, she could clearly feel that the scope of her skills had expanded significantly, more than doubling.

and……

Although the description of 【Whirlwind】 is simple, her stats are greatly improved, and she can now easily do many things that were impossible before.

Taking the ability to create wind fields as an example, it used to be just a simple wind field and wind blades, but now it can try to create a vacuum in the center of the wind field.

This is enough to show that if she were to take off again, she could probably fly directly back to the north of the city.

Of course, the consumption will still be considerable.

After all, from takeoff to flight, the entire process is like a powerful brick flying.

Furthermore, it possesses precision; this flowing wind can not only bring information but also transmit one's voice.

Besides transmitting information, there should be other uses that can be developed.

The two lines of text disappeared quickly, and Jiang Mian's eyes narrowed.

The real highlight is here:

Please select your initial skill. Time remaining: 30s

Part 1: [Crystal Rock]

Gain basic soil control abilities to generate crystalline rock walls, constructing temporary defenses, or detonate them actively. You can also designate targets within a 40-meter radius to crystallize them, restricting their movement.

Part Two: [Tides]

Gain basic water control abilities and increase your physical strength. Attack power will gradually accumulate during combat. You can also solidify water (with a customizable shape) and execute simple commands.

Three - [Blizzard]

It gains basic ice control capabilities, which can generate extreme cold impacts within a 40-meter range, causing freezing and slowing effects.

Ok?

Jiang Mian skimmed through the entire text. One and three... both were control abilities, and their use would likely cause quite a stir.

Especially since 30 or 40 meters is only the target acquisition distance, not the effective range!

However, she didn't choose that.

【Crystal Rock】 and 【Blizzard】 are powerful, but she can't use them, or rather, they are not currently of any use in the open.

What she's currently showcasing to the public is the "eye of the storm," but these two moves are too big, so choosing one probably won't offer much of a chance to use it.

In contrast, the tides are different.

In addition to the previous abilities to control water and enhance physical strength, it also grants the ability to shape water.

Leaving aside her basic water control abilities, simply strengthening her physical body would greatly enhance her melee and self-defense capabilities, though not significantly.

To others, she was still that pitiful, weak, and helpless quiet girl.

As for condensed entities...

Isn't this a summoned creature?

It can also be customized. If used properly, it can not only act as a substitute to deceive others, but also run errands for you when you can't get away from something.

The longest recorded range for a typical Tier 3 summoning ability is approximately 800 meters.

Although it's unclear how far she can control this ability, it's a branch of the [Doomsday] ability after all, so it should be farther than this, right?

Once the decision was made up, Jiang Mian chose [Tide] without hesitation.

"Waaah..."

As soon as she made the decision, the small words in front of her turned into particles and dissipated, and she felt a familiar stinging pain in her heart.

"It's starting again..."

Jiang Mian subconsciously pressed his hand to his chest, his fingers curling slightly, but he still couldn't relieve the feeling.

Unlike last time, this time the pain wasn't unbearable, but rather a bit tingling and swollen, as if the core was growing.

After about ten seconds, the feeling gradually subsided.

Jiang Mian straightened her clothes and let out a long sigh.

I've heard that Awakened Ones feel refreshed and invigorated when they advance to the next level.

For patients like her with this disease, each advancement brings strength, but also a more pronounced erosion of their bodies by the power of calamity, making them naturally uncomfortable.

Jiang Mian didn't pay too much attention to this.

She wanted to become stronger and reach level six quickly so she could get rid of the inhibitors; it was just a little pain, nothing to worry about.

Jiang Mian pinched her arm; there was no change, but it seemed to be full of strength.

It's a bit hard to estimate, I'll try it later.

Then, she raised her hand, palm down.

The raindrops dripping from all around were drawn by an invisible force and quietly gathered in front of him.

Soon, the water mass accumulated to the same height as Jiang Mian.

With a thought, Jiang Mian stretched and deformed the water mass, which began to take on a human shape.

Since there were no other reference points around her, she used herself as a template and roughly modified the shape.

"Hmm...more or less?"

She examined it closely. The entity, composed of pure water, was transparent, but its shape was very stable, and its "skin" was smooth and flat.

It's not quite right to make it your own way.

Jiang Mian suddenly had a whim: since it's customizable anyway, why not try a different look?

She has always been very proactive; she does what she thinks of and continues to shape the water.

To make him taller... around 1.7 meters is about right, and then tone down his waist and adjust his shoulder line...

Jiang Mian hesitated for a moment, then outlined the curves of her breasts and hips to be even fuller.

A few seconds later, a tall, voluptuous, mature woman stood quietly in front of her.

Although the face has no other features except for the mouth, and is only a blank body, the level of completion is already quite high.

"not bad?"

Jiang Mian circled around a few times, tilted his head to examine his work, and then poked the water figure's chest with his finger.

It's quite elastic?

It is made entirely of liquid water and looks a bit like a doll.

"magic."

Jiang Mian commented that he seemed to have some kind of special spiritual connection with it, and that he was issuing commands through this connection.

Unfortunately, while this thing is fairly strong—at least ordinary people can't break it—it's useless against awakened beings, even at the first level.

Wait a minute, it seems like she could stuff a few more compressed air fields inside, and just throw them out when needed. Wouldn't that give her combat power?

This idea instantly opened up her mind.

【Whirlwind】 can be said to be a very versatile skill. Not only can it increase the intensity of the flames, but it can also engulf water or sand and stones, thereby increasing the offensive power of the wind blade itself.

After all, items with contents always deal more damage than simple wind blades.

Moreover... she had another idea: to cover the water creature with a skin so that if there were transactions like tonight's, she wouldn't even need to go in person.

Jiang Mian remembered... the alien weapon made from the core of [Painted Skin] seemed to be a full-body disguise.

I'll get one when I have the chance later.

The sequence number of 【Painted Skin】 is 97, which means that the quality of the alien artifact it produces is three stars, one level higher than the two-star standard weapon.

Regardless of the price, she can't afford it right now anyway.

The Calamity ranked in the advanced sequence corresponds to a four-star alien weapon.

By the same token, if it were a core dropped from a apex sequence like hers, it would theoretically be a necessary material for a five-star alien remains.

So for some people, she really is a "darling".
