Chapter 157: Passive Powers!
Hello again, Rayen! Merlin entered the room with a big smile and a gift package in his hand. He presented the gift to the little girl, the latter accepted it after looking at Miles.
Why dont you open it? I think you will like it very much! Merlin said. Rayen looked at a big smile on Merlins face and then opened the gift. This might be the first present she ever got, so she was clumsy while opening the package, but after the cover was removed, she couldn't help but get excited.
In the package, laid a wristwatch made of white jade. It looked fashionable and pretty. Rayen, despite her stoic self, couldnt help but get happy. After all, she was a woman and women loved pretty things. Merlins present was good indeed.
Thank you, Rayen muttered silently and removed the wristwatch to sport it as soon as possible. After working on it for some time, she got visibly confused and didnt know what to do. She looked at Miles and Merlin with a little red hue on her face.
I havent uploaded an AI to your wristwatch yet for a few reasons. Your big bro Miles will help you with it later. Merlin looked at Miles meaningfully and turned to look at Rayen once again.
The element of the wristwatch is Barrier. Very, very rare element in G-Circle. Unfortunately, you cannot use any higher rank yet, so I can only give you this for now. But this is the best wristwatch you can have in G-Circle. As long as you have sufficient electricity inside, the watch can protect you against monsters.
This is a really rare element. You must have spent a fortune on this. Thanks, Merlin! Miles thanked his brother too. The barrier element was extremely rare. In G-Circle, there shouldnt be more than 10 recorded cases of monsters with barrier elements. But what do you mean she cant use any higher-ranked wristwatch?
Wristwatches were separate entities, thus had no limitation on the user's level. Miles never heard of this restriction before.
Why are you copying her powers? He asked. Merlin was his brother after all, and he didnt have any reservations in asking a private questions.
What do you mean why? Isn't her power way too strong? Why shouldnt I? Merlin answered with a chuckle.
Wont you lose it when you copy another power? Are you planning to stick with this power? Miles asked. Merlin's powers were as such, he could only hold onto one power. So what was the point? Even if he could copy it and use the special energy type, after copying another power, his connection with the same elemental energy would be severed. So, he didnt understand the endgame.
You should have seen different powers by now. Like how there are elemental powers, and other type powers like mine. Merlin asked and Miles nodded. He indeed saw powers like that before and he even fought against one not long ago.
There are also some powers that affect the body instead of creating unique elemental powers. We call them active and passive powers. For example, grandfather's ability is active power. He has to use it willingly. But mothers powers are both active and passive.
Mothers power, Data Sort, is an active ability allowing her to bring back the information she requires, but she also has the passive ability Computing Brain, increasing her computing ability tremendously. I once copied her powers and gained the passive ability to. It changed my brain and increased my brain power too. After changing the power, I thought this passive ability would vanish too, so I was reluctant to change it.
I even thought about quitting my career in the army and starting over in science. At the time, the feeling of having an advanced brain felt so addicting. I didnt want to give up on it. But after regretfully changing my power, I realized I still have the passive ability I copied from mom. The powers change my body structure, after being copied it doesn't vanish!
Do you mean, Rayens powers are also passive? Miles asked with surprise. Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))
