"Trait combinations?"
Su Xuan was startled when several traits flooded his vision.
'What's going on?'
'What do these traits mean?'
'Is this letting me combine traits to recruit new Adventurers?'
He didn't know why these traits had appeared, nor was he sure what had happened to his game world. However, an Adventurer recruited this way had to be stronger than a Sweet Slime, right?
As for the traits themselves...
[Skeleton] [Pride] [Nun] [Young Lady] [Giant] [Traitor] [Minstrel] [Lost Memory]
He needed to choose any three from these eight traits to combine. They included things like Race, identity, and personality. He also had ten chances to refresh the traits, refreshing three selected traits at a time.
'A Young Lady Skeleton with Pride? Hmm...'
Su Xuan fell silent for a moment. He had a feeling that wasn't a very good choice.
The Nun trait could be kept, and Minstrel seemed decent. The Giant... probably not so much.
After some thought, Su Xuan decided to refresh the three traits: [Lost Memory], [Traitor], and [Young Lady].
"Refresh!"
[Traits have been refreshed!]
[Farmer] [Foolish] [Dog Trainer]
"?"
"Refresh!"
[Soldier] [Pregnant Woman] [Three Hands]
"..."
"Refresh!"
[Unwavering Loyalty] [Spy] [Succubus]
"Wait!"
On the third refresh, one trait caught Su Xuan's attention.
'A Succubus?'
A glint flashed in Su Xuan's eyes. This Race was certainly tempting. After all, who doesn't like a Succubus?
Besides, while a Succubus's combat Power wasn't top-tier, it was definitely in the upper-middle ranks.
The question now was, how should he pair the traits?
Or should he keep refreshing?
After mulling it over, Su Xuan decided not to refresh again. He only had seven refreshes left; it was better to be frugal.
So then...
'A Succubus spy with Pride?'
'A Succubus Nun with Unwavering Loyalty?'
'Or a Minstrel Skeleton with Unwavering Loyalty?'
After careful consideration, Su Xuan decided to choose the Succubus Nun with Unwavering Loyalty, even though the three traits seemed completely contradictory.
A holy Nun who was secretly a Succubus, a Race that was innately debaucherous but possessed the Attribute of Unwavering Loyalty—it was utterly absurd. But this was the best combination Su Xuan could come up with.
"I choose you."
Su Xuan clicked on the three traits he had selected, making his final decision.
[Compiling trait combination...]
[Your selection is "Unwaveringly Loyal Succubus Nun"!]
[Recruiting an Adventurer that meets the criteria...]
As the text faded, a brilliant, dazzling light flashed within Su Xuan's Guild.
The blinding radiance made it hard for Su Xuan to keep his eyes open, but he struggled to see the beautiful figure emerging from the multicolored light. As the figure drew closer, his vision gradually cleared.
She was a beautiful woman with a delicate face and eyes as gentle as water, utterly captivating. Her long, dark purple hair flowed like silk down her pale neck, swaying gently with each step and giving her an elegant yet mysterious air.
Her curvaceous figure was snugly wrapped in a black-and-white Nun's Habit, adding a touch of mature charm. It seemed the more a Nun represented Holiness, the more easily she could stir up Fallen desires.
"A pleasure to meet you, Mr. President! I am the Nun, Ivsha, here to greet you~"
As the woman smiled, she gently lifted the hem of her skirt with her slender fingertips and performed an elegant curtsy for Su Xuan.
This gesture, combined with her melodious and nimble voice, made her appear dignified and graceful, as holy as a white orchid. But Su Xuan knew full well that standing before him was a Succubus!
A Demon who was innately debaucherous and took pleasure in draining Life Magic Power from men!
"Hello. I'm Su Xuan," Su Xuan replied calmly.
"Then~ may I call you Mr. Su Xuan?" Ivsha asked.
Her hazy, flirtatious gaze made it difficult to refuse her request.
"You may," Su Xuan nodded. He didn't really mind Ivsha calling him "Mr. Su Xuan." In fact, it would have felt more awkward if she kept calling him "Mr. President."
"Wonderful~ You're such a kind President, Mr. Su Xuan," Ivsha said with a radiant smile, looking very happy.
'Or perhaps, this form of address held a special meaning for her?'
As they spoke, a notification popped up in Su Xuan's vision.
[Click the red dot on an Adventurer to view their information panel.]
'Click the red dot?'
Seeing the prompt, Su Xuan's gaze fell upon Ivsha.
Just as the prompt described, a glowing red dot hovered just below Ivsha's collarbone. Since this was a game, he subconsciously reached out, intending to touch it.
A flicker of surprise crossed Ivsha's eyes at Su Xuan's action, but she quickly regained her composure and said with some difficulty, "Mr. Su Xuan, we've only just met! Rushing things like this might not be good for you..."
Her words made Su Xuan's outstretched hand pause in mid-air.
'Wait.'
'He was just trying to touch the red dot to check her information panel!'
'He hadn't expected to trigger Ivsha's... warning?'
'It didn't seem like a warning, though. More like a kind reminder to prevent him from falling into the Abyss?'
AHEM!
'So how was he supposed to click the red dot?'
The moment the thought formed in Su Xuan's mind, he found that his intent had already clicked on the red dot below Ivsha's collarbone from a distance.
The next second!
Ivsha's Attribute panel appeared in his vision.
[Ivsha (Epic)]
Level: 1 (0/100)
Race: Succubus
Power: 50 / agility: 50 / Magic Power: 50 / Physique: 50
Growth: 10 (Gains 10 points to All Attributes per level.)
Skills: (Expand)
Traits: [Unwavering Loyalty] [Succubus] [Nun]
'Traits?'
[Unwavering Loyalty]: She only wishes to follow one master her entire life: you! Favorability: 99. When this Adventurer fights alongside you, her combat power increases by 100%.
"?"
[Succubus]: 95-62-90, Charm Value: 100. Increases Special Attack against the opposite sex by 100%. (Due to the effect of 'Unwavering Loyalty,' this only activates on you.)
'Special Attack?'
[Nun]: She is a Nun from the Bright Church Court whose Faith is in the Bright Main God. Immune to the effects of Holy Light.
'Immunity to Holy Light?!'
A look of delight appeared on Su Xuan's face when he saw the effect of the Nun trait.
Holy Light had a suppressive effect on Demon Species, but with the Nun trait, Ivsha was immune to its influence. This meant she no longer had to fear holy power!
On top of that!
Su Xuan was overjoyed by her Epic quality. The upper limit for a first recruitment was supposed to be Elite quality, yet he had directly recruited an Epic Adventurer. This was clearly a perfect start for him.
As he was thinking, the game tutorial continued to pop up in his vision.
