Chapter 96、S-Class Overpowered Data! Jiang Xiangci’s Super Mechanism!
The Power of an S-Class Talent: Jiang Xiangci's Super Mechanism
Yi Bai had already experienced the power of an S-Class talent through Wang Shi. However, compared to Wang Shi, Jiang Xiangci's role was undeniably more significant. She wasn't just Yi Bai's greatest ally; she was the backbone of the entire settlement's management.
To put it bluntly, upgrading Jiang Xiangci was like Liu Shan of the Three Kingdoms receiving an upgrade card for Zhuge Liang—it was a monumental event.
Yi Bai immediately summoned Jiang Xiangci. The upgrade had to be done in person.
The Bloodline Growth wasn't a physical item but rather a special upgrade opportunity, stored within the settlement's system panel. After briefly explaining the situation, Yi Bai used the special upgrade chance right in front of Jiang Xiangci.
A golden light enveloped her, and in the blink of an eye, Jiang Xiangci had completed her upgrade.
[Congratulations!]
Due to the use of a special item, your talent "Jiang Xiangci" has completed an upgrade in talent rank!
"Jiang Xiangci" is now an S-Class Talent!
From the outside, nothing seemed to have changed about Jiang Xiangci. She still looked stunning as ever, her soft eyes turning towards Yi Bai with a gentle smile.
"Sir, is it done?" she asked sweetly.
Yi Bai eagerly watched her. "Xiangci, how do you feel?"
Jiang Xiangci tilted her head slightly, assessing the changes within herself. "I feel a bit stronger, less fatigued… but I don't sense any major changes. Maybe I'm just imagining things."
"Hold on, let me take a look," Yi Bai urged, unable to wait. He quickly opened the talent interface and checked her upgraded status.

Yi Bai stared, his eyes wide in disbelief. This was absurd! Wang Shi had only four traits and four abilities, while Jiang Xiangci now had five traits and five abilities!
Sure, some of these abilities were from when she was still at an A-Class level, but the changes were clear. For example, Wide Circle of Friends had undergone a noticeable transformation. Now, if she failed to recommend any talent in a month, her abilities would stack without limit!
This mechanism was downright insane!
An increase of 1% might not seem like much at first glance. But what if she went an entire year without recommending any talent? Or two years? The potential growth was mind-boggling!
And the new traits and abilities were even more outrageous!
Leadership Charm ensured that no talent would go unrecognized within the settlement. It guaranteed that everyone's abilities would be put to optimal use while ensuring loyalty.
While loyalty was important, what stunned Yi Bai was that this effect didn't just apply to talent units—survivors as well!
All-Purpose Strategy needed no further explanation. What was the most frustrating thing for a technology-focused settlement? Slow, inefficient progress along the tech tree.
Human history showed that most technological progress occurred during rare bursts of innovation, with long periods of stagnation in between. Simply having talent wasn't enough. It required luck and the right research direction.
But All-Purpose Strategy eradicated this concern. It would drastically reduce the bottleneck periods in Yi Bai's technological research!
While the first two traits were astonishing, the next two abilities truly left Yi Bai speechless.
National Fortune Protection wasn't hard to understand—reduced illness probability seemed reasonable. But immunity to curses and mystical phenomena sounded a bit too overpowered. Yi Bai didn't fully grasp it, but it definitely sounded impressive.
But Prophetic Decision-Making? That was a game-changer!
This ability was basically "seeing the future"!
What did leaders fear most? The fear of making the wrong decision, ruining their legacy, and even causing harm to the nation. The larger the force or country, the harder it was to make decisions. Once a decision was made, changing course would often take generations to correct.
But with Prophetic Decision-Making, Yi Bai wouldn't have to worry.
Bad decisions? No problem—foreseen and avoided!
This ensured the settlement would always be on the right path, making decisions that would lead to the best possible future.
"This talent is truly worth 10,000 points… It's absurd!" Yi Bai exclaimed, his satisfaction almost beyond words.
