Ch. 343 - Rescue? Modification!

New Novel - Read Here

Yang Yi followed Suna’s method and carried out an examination, but he found nothing.

Tricia had neither a heartbeat nor breathing, and her eyes showed no reaction to light whatsoever. They looked just like fake eyeballs made of glass beads.

Based on these points alone, could it be confirmed that Tricia was dead?

Yang Yi believed it couldn’t.

That was because Light Fairies were not humans, and their bodily structures were completely different. It was entirely possible that they did not need a heartbeat or breathing to sustain their vital functions.

Therefore, these methods of determining life or death might not necessarily be effective when used on Tricia.

“Let’s try again. It’s not like I’m short on this little bit of magic power!”

Yang Yi decided to continue trying to save her.

He gathered together the remaining Light Fairy fragments and placed any suitable ones into the missing gaps, mainly to repair Tricia’s face. (When he had originally purchased the Light Fairy fragments, they had come with some additional pieces besides the limbs.)

But even this still didn’t work. Tricia’s chin had disappeared, so she needed a suitable lower jawbone to fill the gap.

Yang Yi looked at the wooden barrel nearby. There were still three living long-legged sardines inside. Perhaps they could be put to use.

Moreover, the information had mentioned that Tricia originally had three pairs of wings.

If he could give her two pairs of wings back, perhaps her regenerative ability would recover.

Those wings should be an important part of a Light Fairy’s body. Yang Yi didn’t have any on hand, but he could try to imitate them.

.............

Half an hour later.

Yang Yi used the limb grafting toolkit to skin the three long-legged sardines. After trimming and stitching the skins together, he made two pairs of translucent fish-scale wings, with their ends connected to one another.

His sewing skills played an important role at this moment.

Then there was his carving technique.

After being carved and shaped, the fish bones became appropriately sized lower jawbones, which he placed in the missing area of Tricia’s chin. He then added some fairy fragments over them to serve as skin.

Next, everything depended on the Limb Restoration Technique.

He hoped the tiny spiders would be able to attach both the chin and the wings to her.

Yang Yi activated the Limb Restoration Technique for the fourth time, followed immediately by the fifth. He attached the two pairs of wings, which were stuck together and could be regarded as a single whole, to Tricia’s back. Then came the chin containing the fish bones.........

After completing everything, Yang Yi took another look at Tricia.

Although her facial features had not changed, her overall aura was now completely different.

Some tiny fish scales had grown beneath her left eye, while two pairs of silver-gray fish-scale wings had appeared on her back, shimmering with a multicolored glow.

Her skin had also taken on two different colors: silver-gray and white. It was probably because fragments of black cloth and the Light Container had become mixed in during the restoration process.

The silver-gray skin only occupied a very small portion of her body and would only be noticed upon close inspection. It looked almost like a pale tattoo that had been deliberately drawn onto her skin.

Yang Yi examined her for a while and was quite satisfied with the results of his “rescue.”

He had done everything he could. If she still couldn’t be revived after all this, then he could only “use” Tricia in another way and let her fulfill her purpose by giving off light and heat.

Fortunately, the result wasn’t that bad.

During his inspection, Yang Yi discovered that Tricia’s information had changed. He wasn’t sure when the change had occurred.

【Name: Mutated Light Fairy (Tricia)】

【Introduction: A pitiful Light Fairy who lost two pairs of wings after failing her assessment and was eventually exiled from the Holy City.

In an attempt to commit suicide, she violated a taboo and was once on the verge of death. After being treated by the Great Limb Graftor, she recovered, but the structure of her body underwent changes.

Can be put into the Monster Gacha Machine.】

“Sure enough, she didn’t die. I actually managed to save her!”

Yang Yi could now confirm that Tricia was alive, but she was currently in a coma.

Moreover, she had violated a taboo. It was probably because she had used her saliva to dissolve herself.

Strictly speaking, Light Fairies were not supposed to be able to dissolve living creatures.

But judging from the result, it wasn’t that they were incapable of dissolving living creatures. Rather, they were simply “not allowed” to do so.

This might be a mental imprint—a kind of invisible shackle placed upon the Light Fairies that restricted their abilities.

After all, Light Fairies that could not dissolve living creatures were much cuter than those that could. They were also easier for people to accept.

But if the situation were reversed, and Light Fairies could dissolve living creatures—and there were a large number of them—then people would panic......

All of this was merely Yang Yi’s speculation. The specific circumstances still needed to be verified, because Tricia might be a special individual.

He took out some dyed yarn and tied Tricia’s hands and feet together.

But after tying them up, he changed his mind and loosened the yarn.

Sometimes, invisible shackles were more reliable than physical ones. Yang Yi decided to have a proper talk with Tricia after she woke up.

.............

It was now ten o’clock at night.

Yang Yi used up the two Supreme Enhancement Stones.

He gave the Intermediate Artisan’s Inscription Stone to Suna, allowing her to enhance the Witch’s Bag of Wonders.

This was one of the Witch’s three-piece set, so it was worth enhancing and could be prioritized.

After enhancement, the Treasure Bag had the following attributes:

【Name: Witch’s Treasure Bag】

【Type: Treasure】

【Quality: Supreme】

【Description: A treasure bag carried by a witch. It can be attached directly to the body, making it extremely convenient. It contains ten cubic meters of storage space.

If the witch possesses a Witch’s Laboratory, the Treasure Bag can be directly connected to the laboratory. It can transfer items into the laboratory, teleport subdued living creatures, and retrieve tools from the laboratory for on-site experiments.

Tools retrieved from the laboratory will disappear after 24 hours and cannot be recovered.

The witch discovered that some things could not be taken away, so she simply moved her laboratory over.】

“The ability to conduct experiments and surgeries on-site.”

After reading the information, Suna summed up the effect of the upgraded Treasure Bag in a single sentence.

Compared with this ability, the increased storage space seemed far less important.

It was just rather expensive.

Because the tools taken out of the laboratory were disposable. They could only exist for 24 hours, but the seashell coins spent on them would not be refunded.

“Use it sparingly. We don’t have much money left.”

Yang Yi showed Suna their meager remaining balance so that she would have an idea of their financial situation.

As for the Intermediate Abyss Soul Stone, Yang Yi used it to enhance the Charred Worm Ring, exchanging it for larger and more convenient storage space.

【Name: Charred Giant Worm Ring】

【Type: Relic】

【Quality: Supreme】

【Description: A giant worm ring that suddenly mutated after becoming addicted to the pleasure brought by flames. It will wrap itself around one of your fingers and is almost impossible to pull off.

It provides 15 cubic meters of storage space internally, with extremely convenient storage and retrieval.

Squeezing its tail will cause it to spray out burning fire oil. Its daily storage capacity is 100 L, and anything that comes into contact with it will be ignited.

Remember to roast it over a fire every day. Otherwise, it will bite your finger until it is covered in mangled flesh.】

This ring was quite bizarre.

Yang Yi looked at his pinky finger, which had almost completely turned into a black worm. It was constantly wriggling and was about the same length as his middle finger.

And moreover.....

Yang Yi aimed it at the Life Fireplace inside the captain’s cabin and squeezed the worm’s tail. Immediately, a stream of fire shot out.

It looked very much like a flamethrower.

In terms of power, it was somewhat underwhelming.

But considering that this was primarily a storage item, having such a convenient fire-starting ability was already pretty good.

Moreover, the best use of this skill might not be to aim it at an enemy, but rather to aim it at himself.
