Emperor Xueye nodded.
Miss Orange stretched out her hand again, placing her fingertip in the palm of his hand. Subsequently, golden glowing threads once again entwined around her entire hand.
This time, what appeared in her hand was a piece of golden cloth, upon which there were words and a rather large red seal.
Emperor Xueye frowned, "This is my father's will…"
Miss Orange said, "Since it's not the jade bracelet, then it has to be one of the other three precious items, probably the second most precious item in your heart."
Emperor Xueye was surprised for a moment.
"This item is still here, inside my bedroom. Indeed, this item determined my position as the Emperor of Tiandou, but I truly didn't expect it to be ranked within the top three most precious items… No, including the jade bracelet just now, I didn't expect them to be it, it's nothing like what I imagined."
Miss Orange returned the former emperor's will to Emperor Xueye, and couldn't help but ask, "But they do hold precious value in your heart, don't they?"
Emperor Xueye replied, "That is true, I cannot deny that… It seems that under Miss Orange's reward determination, the significance of the value may outweigh the item's own worth. I think I understand now, I had assumed that the ranking was determined by the item's intrinsic value, but it seems I won't be finding any loopholes there, ha ha ha…"
Emperor Xueye laughed helplessly.
"However, rest assured Miss Orange, by tomorrow I will have ten thousand golden soul coins delivered here for you to inspect on the spot."
Miss Orange nodded, "Mm, thank you, Your Majesty. I apologize that the reward did not meet your expectations."
"I'm being a bit greedy, but this is already the best outcome, without your help, I would have no face to see my mother."
The two engaged in a mutual flattery session right there and then. Lin Yi gestured with a wave of his hand, and Miss Orange returned to the stage.
"Let's begin the second offense of the day."
"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Senior Lin Yi. I'll get started right away."
Miss Orange stuck out her tongue apologetically and immediately walked to the artillery platform.
She placed her hand over the platform, first using the Brand New ability to fix the area that had been damaged due to the firing. Then, she began to release her Soul Power.
An astonishing eight Soul Rings floated up from her body, making it clear that there would be no need for Miss Orange to use a soul skill in the short term, although Lin Yi was somewhat curious about what kind of citrus her subsequent soul skills would represent.
As everyone knows, each of Miss Orange's soul skills represents a different variety of citrus.
Soul Power flowed in through the switch, causing the lights at the base of the barrel to light up one by one, and then the second. At that moment, the barrel raised its head high, aiming at Lin Yi.
Miss Orange had ample Soul Power, or rather, more than enough to support the firing of this artillery. The barrel gradually began to hum, the muzzle turned red-hot, and an incendiary red shell shot out, landing on Lin Yi.
Fragments exploded into the sky, reaching dozens of meters high. The high temperatures made it so that no one could approach within ten meters of Lin Yi. In just a few seconds, the entire grandstand was shrouded in gunsmoke.
Miss Orange coughed a few times, fanning the air in front of her with her hand. She watched the scene intently when suddenly a golden storm burst through the smoke and rushed towards her, prompting Miss Orange to increase the influx of Soul Power immediately. The lights under the barrel flashed twice more, and another shell shot out of the muzzle swiftly.
Only after hearing the sound of the Damage Rebound shattering did Miss Orange relax.
The offense ended, and Lin Yi looked at the panel.
[Life Drain: 467368]
```
[Remaining Life: 883037303698]
[Damage Level: Red (High Grade)]
[Random Reward: Ultimate Synthesis Technique]
[Host Reward: Ultimate Synthesis Technique (No Critical Hit)]
Lin Yi might have been too sensitive, as the name of this reward subconsciously reminded him of the literary works about stitching from the Blue Planet.
However, this was clearly not about that.
Lin Yi looked at the annotations, and after a moment, he turned to Ju Zi and said, "With a damage of 467368, Red Advanced, the reward you've received is the Ultimate Synthesis Technique."
Lin Yi, "The principle of this reward is that the effect of 1+1 far exceeds 2."
As Ju Zi was still muttering Lin Yi's words to herself, Lin Yi spoke again, "The ability of this reward is to fuse any number of entities together through special means, and the brand new entity that results from the fusion will possess abilities far surpassing the original entities."
Ju Zi noticed that Lin Yi used "entities" rather than "items," and curiously asked, "Can it also fuse living beings?"
Lin Yi nodded, "That's right."
Everyone was shocked upon hearing this. Fusing living beings? That seemed a bit too abstract, didn't it?
It was as if two different people were standing there, and if you stitched them together, would the fused being become an entirely new person? Or would it just mean that the two people were "stuck" together?
Lin Yi, "There is no limit to the number of entities that can be stitched together. Although the more you stitch, the more powerful it becomes, the greater the number of entities combined, the higher the chance of failure. And the consequence of failure is that the original entities may face destruction. Therefore, when it comes to the fusion of living beings, I suggest that you don't fuse more than three at a time."
Ju Zi hadn't even come to terms with this concept; fusing living beings was just too preposterous.
"Can they be separated after being fused?"
She hurriedly asked.
Lin Yi, "While it is possible, think about it, if a man and a woman were in a relationship and accumulated shared understanding and intimacy over time, what would be the consequence of separating them afterward?"
Ju Zi's mouth twitched, "They would each be hurt?"
Lin Yi, "Exactly. If living beings that have been fused are forcibly separated, there would be some damage to their psyche. At best, they may be dazed; at worst, they could lose their sanity and become utterly insane. If non-living entities that had been fused were forcibly separated, it would cause certain damage to the items themselves."
"What I need to point out here is, the better and more powerful the outcome of the fusion, the greater the damage would be upon separation."
Hearing Lin Yi's words, Ju Zi couldn't help but mutter to herself: It was like the deeper a couple loved each other, the more they would be hurt if they separated. And objects, the stronger the integration, the greater the price upon separation.
Ju Zi, "Senior Lin Yi, what will the fused entities actually look like? And what about the effect of 1+1 being much greater than 2 that you mentioned?"
Lin Yi, "You'll know once you experiment with the reward yourself."
Having said that, he flicked the red light sphere towards her. After integrating the reward, Ju Zi found that when she wanted to use her ability, a gold needle would suddenly appear in her hand. The needle was intangible yet its presence could be palpably felt.
Following the needle was a long thread of gold, as if it could indeed be used for stitching by hand.
