Eternal Thief

Chapter 1127  Bloodline Shop (2)

Although the Bloodline Shop was a little complex, Ace didn't mind since all the functions were explained in detail, and all he had to do was to further inquire about them. Furthermore, this Nirvana Thief Bloodline seemed even more powerful than his own bloodlines despite its lower grade. But as he can see, the bloodline can evolve endlessly because of the Endless Nirvana talent.

'It seems I was supposed to get this bloodline from the start, but without the fully functional bloodline shop, having this bloodline means nothing. Every function seems to correspond to one another, and if I miss even one, I can't evolve it continuously.

'Furthermore, the Cist seemed the truly essential part of it since now I can use all the Cist abilities on my own using the system. Although it is still a pity that I lost its body, which could be an unbreakable shield. I guess, to have something, you have to sacrifice something sometimes,' Ace thought with a hint of pity, but it was only momentarily.

He asked the system, "System if I change into the Nirvana Thief Bloodline, does it mean I'll lose both of my bloodlines?"

"[Indeed, your bloodlines are completely damaged, so they can't be stored in the bloodline storage. But their talents will be available for integration and appear in the bloodline shop as long as you can evolve the Nirvana Thief Bloodline to the same rank as those talents.]"

"If that's the case, then I'm glad." Ace sighed in relief, still somewhat reluctant to give up on these bloodlines that he had been born with.

"Then what about the sample gathering? How does it work? Do I only need a small amount of blood from any race that I want to have their talent, and when did you get Alina's bloodline?" Ace asked another question that he was quite curious about, especially the part about Alina's bloodline sample appearing in the sample slot. He knew the system asked for the sample from the Vampyre Bloodline, while his own bloodline sample should have been taken by the system when he unsealed it since the system was connected to him. However, he didn't know how and when the system got Alina's bloodline.

"[Host only needs a drop of essential blood for a complete bloodline analysis. However, essential blood can't be taken normally unless it was willingly given, or you can only take it after you killed the bloodline owner.]

"[Blood that bleeds during injury or battle wouldn't work since it is normal blood. Every bloodline possessor would have this protective mechanism to prevent the bloodline from falling into others' hands.]

"[Moreover, you can only collect the blood sample of races that are deemed worthy of having their talents integrated into the Nirvana Thief Bloodline.]

"[As for the Celestial Titan Blood sample, the system collected it from the Cist when it was ownerless, and it didn't affect the current inheritor of the Celestial Titan bloodline.]"

Realization dawned on Ace, but he was still somewhat displeased since the system didn't ask him. However, when he thought that he wasn't the owner of the cist, the system didn't need his permission. Since it didn't affect Alina in any way, he decided to let the matter rest here. After all, the system still helped him.

"Since that's the case, what about if I gather Cyrus and Eva's blood as well? Will I get their talent in the shop as well?" Ace quickly asked, and since he only required a drop of blood, he was at ease.

Furthermore, it was a rare chance to acquire Eva's Shadow Abyssal Devil and Void Abyssal Devil, and Cyrus's Nether Paradise Bird bloodlines into the bloodline shop. After all, they were both extremely talented.

"[Yes, their bloodlines are sufficient.]"

Ace was elated as he quickly called Cyrus. When his eyes fell on Chuchu, he suddenly remembered about her and called her as well. Although the two of them were confused, they still came close to him.

"I want a drop of both of your blood." Ace directly asked them. "Why?" Cyrus asked in confusion at Ace's strange demand, and Chuchu looked at him warily, clearly as confused as Cyrus and even on guard against Ace.

"I just need a drop. Come on; it won't hurt you, right?" Ace was embarrassed a little, seeing their confused expression, but he couldn't explain the bloodline shop to them.

Cyrus didn't understand but still nodded, "Alright."

As Ace said, it wasn't a big deal to give Ace a drop of blood. Besides, he trusts Ace, or if it were someone else, they would've met with a fireball on their faces.

The next moment, Cyrus suddenly opened his beak, and a drop of crimson blood instantly appeared, raising the cave's temperature, and floated towards Ace.

Ace raised an eyebrow since he was expecting to get the blood in another way, but it seemed he still didn't know much about how bloodline works, and Cyrus seemed to have full control over his bloodline despite his normally naïve behavior.

Chuchu showed clear reluctance, but seeing Cyrus giving his blood without hesitation, she also gave in. She stabbed her sharp nail on her claw, and a drop of blood gushed out of her small wound and flew towards Ace. Her blood was also quite hot, but not like Cyrus's.

Looking at the two drops of blood floating in front of him, Ace asked the system, "Now what?"

=====

[System detects the Nether Paradise Bird's Blood Essence (Transcendent Grade-9) sufficient for the Bloodline Shop!]

-Do you want to gather it?

-Cost: 10,000 Thief Point

--

[System detects the Inferno Fortune Hamster's Blood Essence (Transcendent Grade-1) sufficient for the Bloodline Shop

-Do you want to gather it?

-Cost: 10,000 Thief Point

=====

Ace's eyes dilated slightly when he saw the two notifications, 'Transcendent Grade should be a grade higher than the Ascension Grade. But I didn't expect Chuchu's bloodline to be a Transcendent Grade bloodline as well since Cyrus having it wasn't as surprising as her.

'Inferno Fortune Hamster, huh? Well, I guess she can follow us since she gave her blood without much fuss and didn't do anything these days. Cyrus also seemed happy in her company.'

Ace nodded as he then looked towards Chuchu and smiled before he waved his hand and a pile of herbs appeared, and he said, "Thank you for your blood, this is for you."

He also gave the system a go to gather those blood drops, and the next moment, they instantly vanished.

"What about me?!" Cyrus instantly protested when he saw Ace giving Chuchu food but not him, didn't he give his blood as well?

Chuchu, on the other hand, was elated when she saw another pile of herbs, and her wariness of Ace turned into gratefulness, "Chu (Thank you, big boss!)"

"The things you like, I don't have them right now. But I'll give you some later when we find something you like." Ace helplessly replied since he was telling the truth.

At this moment, the system voice rang,

===== [Nether Paradise Bird and Inferno Fortune Hamster's bloodlines have been added to the Bloodline Shop's collection!]

[Four new talents have been added to the Bloodline Alteration!]
