Chapter 5: Rosie Had Her Rebirth!

Chapter 5: Rosie Had Her Rebirth!

"Combat... Combat Talent Awakener!" 

The two remaining punks were scared out of their wits. 

Even if someone has awakened a combat talent, how could they dare to kill people! 

Though there were no cameras around, the abilities of combat talent awakeners are registered in a special way.

Much like fingerprints, it would be easy to track down who committed the crime. 

Before they could react, two greenish-blue sparks had already touched them, and suddenly, flames ignited.

In just a few seconds, the three punks disappeared from the world.

Rosie stood there, her mouth agape in shock, dumbfounded as she watched Alexander walk up to her.

Alexander spoke slowly: "Senior, how could you let go of the results of your hard work from the whole day?"

The Heavenly Flame of Creation made Alexander seem mysterious in Rosie's eyes. 

She stared at his deep, lake-like eyes.

For a moment, she even forgot that the young man before her had just taken three lives.

She spoke despondently: "The world is unfair."

Alexander replied softly: "There is indeed no absolute fairness in this world. But perhaps we can tip the scales and grant ourselves at least some measure of justice."

He extended his hand: "Come with me, and you will never face such misfortune again."

Alexander's voice had a magnetic pull, like a devil whispering in her ear.

Rosie, almost as if guided by an unseen force, reached out her hand.

Even though her intuition told her that the peaceful life she once had was about to slip away.

...

Alexander and Rosie returned to his small courtyard together.

At the gate, Jack had been waiting for a while, not daring to enter without permission.

Seeing Alexander and Rosie, he greeted them enthusiastically: 

"Master Alex! I brought the computer! Senior Rosie is here too."

Rosie looked at Jack suspiciously. 

Why was he speaking so respectfully? What happened between him and Alexander? 

Alexander nodded and opened the gate. They walked in.

The first thing that caught Rosie's attention was the eerie-looking tree. On it hung three peculiar fruits.

Jack cheerfully handed the computer to Rosie: "Feel free to use this anytime, Senior Rosie."

Rosie knew that her value to Alexander lay in her S-rank hacker talent.

Without wasting words, she asked directly: "What do you need me to do?"

Alexander shook his head: 

"No rush."

He picked a super fruit from the tree and held it out to her: 

"Eat this, and you will awaken a new talent. The price is that you'll lose your freedom."

Rosie listened to his horrifying words and noticed Jack's longing yet fearful gaze fixed on the super fruit.

She believed most of what Alexander said.

It was too late to turn back now, and she didn't plan to anyway. Without hesitation, Rosie took the super fruit and bit into it.

The first bite almost made her spit it out. This thing tasted awful!

After a few minutes, she finally managed to finish the super fruit.

In her mind, a glowing dot appeared—the miniature version of the super fruit she had just eaten.

[Super Fruit: Model; Medusa]

[Consumes spiritual energy and petrifies those who are emotionally moved by you. 

Even the slightest stirring of emotions, whether fondness or affection, will cause them to be petrified.]

Rosie's eyes widened in disbelief. She had really awakened a new talent?!

But this talent seemed pitifully weak to her.

With her current looks, it would take true love for anyone to be moved by her, wouldn't it?

Rosie stared at the thought of turning people to stone. 

"Isn't that a bit... ridiculous? This ability would be amazing for celebrities or beauty pageant contestants."

At that moment, Alexander handed her another super fruit.

In the Pirate World, it was common knowledge that a person could only eat one devil fruit. But here, things were different. After consuming a super fruit, it became a person's talent. Eating more than one wouldn't result in death. 

However, Alexander wasn't sure whether eating two would grant dual talents or if the new one would replace the old. He wanted to test it on Rosie. This super fruit seemed to complement the first one perfectly.

If both talents could coexist within Rosie, their combination would be far more powerful than just their individual strengths.

Rosie now understood what the super fruits were. Without hesitation, she picked up the second one and devoured it. The awful taste faded under her excitement and nervousness. In fact, it even started to taste delicious.

After a few minutes, a new talent appeared in Rosie's mind:

[Slime Slime Fruit]

[After consumption, the user becomes a slippery person with skin so smooth that there is zero friction. Anything that touches the skin will slide off. The user can control this effect by consuming spiritual energy, but cannot exceed their natural friction levels. Additionally, it enhances beauty.]

Rosie quickly understood the concept of 'zero friction.' Without friction, bullets and other objects would slide off her body effortlessly, making her essentially invulnerable to physical attacks.

She then noticed her clothes felt loose. Wait—she had become slimmer! The Slime Slime Fruit talent could turn an unattractive person into a beauty. Her old self was gone, replaced by a stunning, tall figure with sleek black hair.

As her pants fell and her shirt slid from her shoulders, she caught them in time. Jack gulped but didn't dare to look directly at her. Was this the power of Alexander?

Alexander remained outwardly calm, though his mind was slightly unsettled. The power of the Slime Slime Fruit was terrifying, and now Rosie was arguably the most beautiful woman in the world.

Combined with the Medusa talent, which petrified anyone with feelings for her, the two talents were as potent as an A-rank combat ability.

When Rosie emerged from Alexander's room, even the men's clothes couldn't hide her newfound allure. Jack couldn't help but exclaim, "Master Alex, you're incredible! No one would believe this is Senior Rosie!"

Alexander's eyes brightened. Only he and Jack had seen Rosie's original appearance, and even the Awakeners Association wouldn't be able to track her based on her current looks. For a hacker needing to stay hidden, this was perfect.

He got to the point. "I need you to build a website. Here's the idea..."

Alexander couldn't refer to her as "Senior" anymore. The name and title would be too easy to trace. Rosie didn't mind. Her eyes were now filled with awe and gratitude toward him.

As she listened to his website vision, she furrowed her brows slightly. 

"It's doable, but there are a lot of features. It'll take some time. The initial transaction system, however, can be done quickly. What do you want to sell?"
