Chapter 348 The Zero System Update
Just as Caroline was celebrating her new discovery, the screen in front of her suddenly changed.
A line of bold text appeared. “The Zero System trial has ended. The official version is now online.”
Before she could even react, more words appeared on the screen.
Official Version Instructions:
Caroline was thunderstruck.
So, even if she managed to collect ten thousand abilities, she could only use three per day, and they were random? She couldn’t even pick them herself!
Sure, she could refresh the choices twice a day, but still–what a rip–off!
She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. The Zero System wasn’t permanent; it could be upgraded later. All she needed was to find more colored energy.
“Come on, Caroline,” she told herself. “You can still use other people’s abilities. That’s already a huge win.”
Besides, she already had her water ability, and not just any water power–it was complete, a full–spectrum ability that might even evolve later with more features and hidden skills.
As for the Zero System’s random setup … yes, it was frustrating.
But it also meant she technically had access to every ability out there, even if limited by uses. She could treat it as a secret weapon, something unexpected in a fight.
In her past life, she had never heard of anyone possessing more than two abilities.
Just touch someone to gain theirs? That alone was beyond incredible.
Caroline sighed, smiled a little, and used what she called mental self–encouragement. It was her way of pulling herself out of disappointment and back into confidence.
Just then, Caroline heard a noise from the bedroom.
Denton was awake.
He rubbed his head, still looking dazed.
Silver fluttered over to him, chirping excitedly.

“Caroline … did I just pass out too?” he asked, his voice a little shaky.
Caroline quickly handed him a glass of water.
She remembered how thirsty she had felt when she first woke up.
Denton probably felt the same.
He gulped it down in one go and asked in confusion. “What happened to me?”
Caroline smiled faintly and showed him her ability.
Denton’s eyes lit up with excitement. “So that means–I awakened too?”
Eager to try, he closed his eyes and focused his thoughts.
A second later, a horrible stench filled the room. Caroline’s nose twitched. The smell hit like a punch.
Even Denton looked stunned.
Silver flapped her wings and flew to the far side of the room, watching her human from a safe distance.
And then Denton’s body began to change.
Brown, bark–like plates spread across his skin, rough and solid.
His arms and legs grew strange yellow rings, and with the stench surrounding him.
