BXBX NOVEL Chapter 247: Repeat after me [2/2]
[Hack] allowed me to use both {Connect} and {Shutdown}, as I needed to {Connect} to an electronic device before I could use {Shutdown} anyway nothing much changed.
{Code} and {Program}, while still in the {Code} family, functioned differently, so they could not be added to [Hack].
[Inventory] had {Store} and {Stock} and their more advanced counterparts {Retrieve} and {Withdraw}. Basically, instead of emphasizing which set of versions to use, I could just say [Inventory], and the combination skill would choose for me.
[Eagle eye] had {Perceive}, {Aim}, and {Snipe}, all three of which improved my eyesight. Similarly, {Imaging}, which was for special types of vision, could not be included in the combination.
[Load] was the combined version of {Carry} and {Pack}. Instead of having to manually invoke both, [Load] would automatically cast {Carry} on me and the object I wanted to use {Pack} on.
The changes were subtle, but they definitely made it easier to invoked different {Fates} in quick succession. As things stand, if everyone were to reach level 10, meaning the Sirens and I all evolved into Revenants, I would have a whopping 80 {Fates}.
Despite such amazing benefits, the girls were more concerned with my {Kindred} list. Only Bella and Liv were more focused on the fact that I could hack soul records. Lilly, who should have cared, was in a bad mood because she was last on my {Kindred} list.
"Grow up, bitch! What are you, twelve? Such a sore loser! Just concentrate on the screen," Bella scolded.
"This is all your fault, you bespectacled imbecile, it doesn't matter to you because you're first!"
"Ara, but Lilly-sama, everyone gave you a chance, no?"
"Pathetic. Your title as princess is crying," Jasmine said dryly.
"Hehe! This is fun! We should call this the Siren Kissing Olympics! Darling would be the judge!"
"Hmph! Why do I have to suffer like this! I was mentally preparing myself! You girls are all too brazen!" Lilly retorted.
"Haha, stop whinging like an ankle bitter princess. We even waited. Just pash faster next time."
"Indeed, Bella deserves to be the first. She was the first to lock lips with our beloved. Accept your defeat with grace, Lilly."
"Hmph!"
We were on the first day and it was already like this. I took this as my cue to enter. I walked over to Lilly and lifted her face to me.
" Dear, not now I..."
Before she could finish her words, I stole her lips with a kiss. As Lilly and I became engulfed in a passionate exchange, she calmed down. Our mouths, already parted, remained connected by a thin bridge of saliva.
The sight made my dearest princess blush scarlet. She immediately pulled her head back to look away. In response, I gently took her hand and planted a soft kiss on the palm.
"My dear, the order doesn't diminish my love for you. What can I do to make it up to you?"
"..." The American phantom remained silent, but I noticed that her breathing became faster, as if she was excited.
The other Sirens then came between us, forcing us to separate. It took about ten minutes for everyone to calm down. I eventually had to promise everyone a kiss before the day ended.
Then I remembered that {Limitless} was already configured before I gave Lilly a kiss. To test if she could use it, I asked her to activate it.
"Lilly, can you let go of {Rewind} for now and use {Limitless}?"
"Okay."
Gentle as a kitten, Lilly then called my {Kismet}. The moment she did, I sensed an intense number of souls pouring into her body.
This must be the 5000 soul cost. If each zombie gave up 10 souls, this single summoning was the equivalent of 500 zombies suddenly dying around us.
The rest of the Sirens, feeling the intense pressure, took a step back. After Lilly's body calmed down, she began to look around in amazement.
"Amazing, my body is brimming with power. Is this how Jas sees the world? My thoughts also feel a bit faster. [Flash Step]!"
The woman suddenly disappeared and appeared five meters ahead. Everyone was surprised to see the princess using a combo skill.
"Wonderful, let me see, [Hack]."
Like a child discovering a new toy, the Untamed turned to the television and tried to control it with Bella's {Fate}. The screen quickly switched between shows, channels, and settings, as if someone was playing with the remote control.
"Wow! And the skills don't even use souls! {Imaging}. KYA!"
Suddenly, Lilly covered her eyes as she let out a cute cry. Then she abruptly turned around. Seeing such an innocent reaction, I wondered what was wrong and walked over to her.
"STOP! I beg you dear, please don't come any closer! Jasmine! Help me! How do you turn off {Imaging}?"
"Puta." "Pervert." "Hentai." "Are all Southerners like this?" "Oh! Good idea!" "Slagger beat me to it."
Ignoring the questionable responses from Jo and Robyn. The other four all expressed colorful replied ranging from disappointment to scorn.
As Lilly wasn't the one who got Jasmine's saliva, she didn't know how to use {Imaging}. I approached her as she peeked at my junk between her fingers. Ignoring her dazed expression, I grabbed her shoulders and told her what to do.
"Dear, repeat after me. {Imaging} - Vision."
Lilly followed me instructions and signed in relief as her eyesight returned to normal. The looks of disdain from the rest of the Siren's made Lilly flush red like a tomato.
"Look! It's not my fault okay! It just slipped! And I am sure the rest of you were thinking of it!"
"Yeah, I did. That was the first thing I wanted to do. Oggle Possum's junk."
"I already saw it so I'm good," Bella remarked.
"Haha! Jas already did it way earlier! She flushed scarlet too!"
"Jo! That was supposed to be a secret!"
"Kya! Save me darling!"
"You all…" our Northerner commented sounding exhausted as fuck.
"Ehem, I'm sure master wouldn't be lacking in that department."
Ugh, it seemed that my days and nights would be lively in a different sense, but in a way I kind of liked it.
