Chapter 483: Natural Affinity Talent
In the following days, Jia Na, in addition to her studies, was busy condensing Source Power.
Besides the Growth Origin and Purification Origin she had already condensed, Jia Na also successfully condensed the Origin of Beauty.
During the process of condensing Source Power, Jia Na's understanding of Law Fragment continuously deepened, which greatly enhanced her control over Law Power.
At the same time, as Jia Na's control over the Growth Law Fragment grew stronger, she was surprised to find that her Natural Affinity Talent, which she hadn't paid much attention to, had also undergone some changes. Thinking of this, Jia Na put down her textbook, closed her eyes, and urged her consciousness to travel through the Sea of Spirit to the Wizard Tree deep within her soul.
“Sure enough, after my understanding of the Growth Law Fragment improved, my Natural Affinity Talent also improved accordingly.”
Looking at the light green fruit on the Wizard Tree, which represented the A-grade Talent Natural Affinity, a hint of surprise flashed in Jia Na's heart.
All along, the talent fruits at the very top of the Wizard Tree, representing the two A-grade Wizard Talents, Spiritual Body Shuttle and Natural Affinity, had been identical in shape and size, differing only in color.
But now, the Natural Affinity fruit, having received feedback from the Growth Law Fragment, looked noticeably larger than the Spiritual Body Shuttle fruit.
This gave Jia Na a deeper understanding of the Natural Affinity Talent. Thinking of this, Jia Na extended a tendril of her consciousness and connected it to the emerald green fruit representing the Natural Affinity Talent.
【Natural Affinity:
① Gain the favor of nature, become a friend of nature, and communicate with all living beings without barriers;
② Hear the voice of nature's will, warning of disasters and hinting at opportunities;
③ The Inheritance of Nature, by comprehending nature, one can master various miraculous natural abilities;
④ Nature's Curse, any malice towards nature's favored will transform into the sharpest Curse, annihilating them;
⑤ Nature's Gift, doubles one's lifespan.】
Compared to before, Jia Na had a new realization upon seeing the description of the Natural Affinity Talent again.
Prior to this, Jia Na's understanding of the Natural Affinity Talent was limited to the first and fifth descriptions.
However, even with these two, Jia Na hadn't truly unleashed their full potential.
For instance, with the talent ability known as “friend of nature,” Jia Na could currently only communicate with all plants without barriers, but communicating with other creatures besides plants was much more difficult for her.
Putting everything else aside, even with the Howling Moon Demon Wolf in the Mist Forest, every time Jia Na tried to communicate with it, she could only understand a small portion of its “beast language”; the rest of the time, it was like talking to a brick wall.
Aside from the “friend of nature” ability, Jia Na had developed other abilities such as “listening to nature's will,” “The Inheritance of Nature,” and “Nature's Curse” to a pitiful extent.
It wasn't that Jia Na didn't value them enough; she simply didn't know how to utilize these talents.
“Although I am in nature, I have never truly gotten close to nature.”
Jia Na, whose consciousness had withdrawn from the Sea of Spirit, couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Nature, in a broad sense, encompasses the entire objective material world, including human society. It covers not only the biological and non-biological realms but also human society.
However, from a narrow perspective, the dimensions included in nature should refer to the biological and non-biological realms independent of human consciousness, such as forests, water, soil, and rocks, excluding human society.
Currently, Jia Na spends most of her time in human society, which is composed of people, and the time she actually spends in natural environments is very limited.
The reason Jia Na had this realization, apart from her deepening understanding of the Growth Law Fragment, stemmed from her tree-planting life on Zoey Star during this period.
Jia Na found that the more trees she cultivated, the more she felt herself drawing closer to “nature.”
It was as if those trees had truly become Jia Na's “subjects.” The joy and dependence they constantly conveyed to her during their Growth made it impossible for Jia Na to ignore these trees, which she had only planted to complete the Main Quest.
“No wonder the Green Elves of the Nature Forest call themselves practitioners of nature's will; in some aspects, they truly achieve unity of knowledge and action.”
Being in nature, integrating into nature, protecting nature, and returning to nature—this is the life of the Green Elves born from nature.
Through these events, Jia Na also vaguely grasped the direction for further developing her Natural Affinity Talent. “Is it already this time?”
Looking at the mechanical clock, which showed twelve past noon, Jia Na, who had an appointment with the Nightingale Opera Troupe at one in the afternoon, quickly closed the book on the table. Then, she took out the pre-prepared blueberry bread from the refrigerator and began to eat.
“After such a long preparation, it's finally time for the script reading.”
At this point, while eating the blueberry bread, Jia Na also took out the script from her thorn bracelet, which had previously been renamed from “fallen angel” to “withering rose.”
Over the past two months, Jia Na had successively received no fewer than ten new versions of the script. From major revisions to overturning and then to major revisions again—it could be said that David-Berg had reached the point of near madness in his efforts to continuously perfect this script.
Of course, Jia Na could understand the pressure David-Berg was currently under.
After all, “withering rose,” as the Nightingale Opera Troupe's first battle in Dordogne, was crucial to the fate of the entire troupe.
If this battle went well, the Nightingale Opera Troupe would quickly establish itself in Dordogne and gain the foundational strength to contend with other established opera troupes in Dordogne in the future.
However, if it failed, it would not only be a major blow to the entire Nightingale Opera Troupe's career but also a blow to the confidence of all the troupe's staff.
It wouldn't take long before, even with the addition of Jia Na, the “hot topic actress,” the Nightingale Opera Troupe would inevitably decline and fade into obscurity.
“There's just one strange thing: when I last saw David, he seemed very confident in his work, so why is he so anxious after only two months?”
