Chapter 66: Your Language Ability Has Expired, Please Renew in Time…
Su Xiao had a general understanding of Baha's personality. When killing enemies, he didn't blink an eye. Whether ordered to target men, women, the elderly, or children, Baha would strike without hesitation. In daily life, however, this guy was a lively and eccentric character. Within just a few minutes, he had already hit it off with Bubu Wang, the old hand.
Not only that, but Baha had a natural fondness for Amu, likely related to Baha's former partner. Baha had once fought alongside a small, stout powerhouse, and Amu, with his towering stature and reticent nature, clearly shared a similar personality with that small powerhouse.
Su Xiao attempted to check Baha's attributes.

**Current Additional Effects of Venom Shadow:** Lethality, Paralysis, True Damage.
…
Baha's characteristics were clear: a flying, silent-stalking aerial assassin with high True Damage, making it a natural killer.
With all that True Damage, if it carried out an assassination, the enemy wouldn't even have time to scream before Baha tore open their throat, injected venom, and killed them.
Right now, this aerial assassin was playing a mobile game with Bubu Wang. Judging by its fixed, unblinking eyes, it wasn't far from becoming addicted to gaming.
"Baha."
As soon as Su Xiao spoke, Baha looked up.
"I'm here."
Baha landed on the wooden table in front of Su Xiao and lowered its head, like an assassin awaiting orders. It only needed the target's name, appearance, and location—nothing else interested it. For now, it was a killer with no emotions and barely any ability to speak.
"Your existence time is 656 days."
"That long?"
Baha was surprised. Judging by its expression, it felt like it had gotten a good deal.
"This is Reincarnation Paradise. Ask Bubu about the specifics. Your core formation is still in a stabilization phase and needs three to five more constructions. Prepare for the first one."
Su Xiao stood up and walked to the innermost part of the Alchemy Laboratory. After a moment, he brought out a pile of tools. Seeing these tools, Amu sat down in a corner and suddenly went into a state of self-imposed isolation.
"Ugh-gah &…"
Baha suddenly let out a strange cry for no apparent reason.
"Your language ability is indeed unstable."
Su Xiao stood at the laboratory entrance. Baha's situation didn't surprise him.
"Gah?"
Baha covered its throat with its wing, signaling that it couldn't speak.
"This is normal. Part of your core was damaged. I tried to repair it, and while I fixed most of it, there are still flaws. It seems the issue is with language."
Su Xiao didn't care whether Baha could speak or not—in fact, it would be best if it couldn't, because this guy was a chatterbox.
"Gah, gah-gah, gah-gah-gah…"
Baha gestured wildly. Su Xiao exchanged a glance with Bubu Wang, but neither understood.
"I, gah~ gah-gah!"
Baha stomped its claw in frustration. Its language ability was intermittent. Su Xiao grabbed Baha by the neck and carried it into the laboratory.
A few minutes later, a mournful cry came from inside.
Soon, Su Xiao emerged from the lab carrying Baha. Just then, Beini returned to the Exclusive Room.
"Meow?"
Beini tilted her head at Su Xiao, as if to say, "Are we stewing wild chicken tonight?"
"Gah~"
Baha let out a weak sound. Beini lifted her head haughtily, as if to say, "You look just like a black-feathered wild chicken, hmph~"
Su Xiao tossed Baha aside. Baha even forgot it could fly and, with a swaggering gait, scurried under the bed to wallow in self-pity.
Su Xiao's positioning for Baha was simple: it wasn't suited for frontal combat, but in assassination, Baha was undoubtedly the strongest in the team.
Baha wasn't without flaws—its language ability. Sometimes, out of nowhere, it would blurt out a slick remark, but before it could feel pleased, its voice would revert to "gah-gah-gah," sending Bubu Wang into convulsions of laughter.
"Gah~"
Baha resigned itself to fate. It hadn't even enjoyed being able to speak for five minutes before losing it.
"Bird life, huh? Eh? Gah~"
Baha's body stiffened, and it flopped straight onto the ground, suddenly turning into a salted fish. It was already getting used to it—its language ability was basically hopeless unless Su Xiao completely dismantled and rebuilt its formation.
Amu sat in the corner, eating heartily. Beini lay on the carpet, enjoying herself alone. Bubu Wang was teasing Baha, whose face was full of despair, its intelligence gradually being "drained" by Bubu Wang.
Su Xiao suddenly realized that his Exclusive Room had turned into a zoo. More importantly, he could now disguise himself as a Summoning Class contractor, and no one would suspect it.
Su Xiao returned to the laboratory to work. He still had a new formula to master.
[Note: You have unlocked a new formula: Radiant Potion.]
[Radiant Potion: Each creation requires 1000 Mana Points. Materials needed: Soul Tough Sprout, Light Source, Life Aggregate Substance I, Life Aggregate Substance D, Crystal Vial.]
[Effect: After drinking/injecting, permanently increases Neural Reflex Speed by 8% and Dynamic Vision by 8% (This potion is effective for those with True Attributes below 150 points; repeated use is ineffective).]
…
Seeing the effect of the [Radiant Potion], Su Xiao was in a good mood. He could finally craft high-grade potions. The boost from [Radiant Potion] was effective for him.
As the creator of [Radiant Potion], Su Xiao naturally wouldn't drink an ordinary version. He would only use it himself after concocting a Perfect-quality Radiant Potion.
