"Since there are some important considerations to be aware of before the second ss change, please go ahead and share the specifics as soon as possible. I believe both Emma and ire will certainly heed your advice."


    Bonnie stated directly to Jeremy before Emma and ire had a chance to express their own opinions.


    Bonnie felt that their time was quite limited, and thus, they needed to expedite their actions.


    Emma and ire nodded in agreement, acknowledging Bonnie''s assertion.


    Upon seeing that everyone else expressed their agreement, Jeremy naturally proceeded to articte the considerations regarding ss changes.


    "Before you undertake your second ss change, you must first determine which aspects of enhancement you wish to acquire post-transition. This means you need to make a decisive choice right now.


    You must select your primarybat approach moving forward. The primary method ofbat you possess will certainly require ample enhancement."


    Jeremy conveyed to Emma and ire in a very calm tone.


    Emma and ire nodded in understanding.


    The two of them were able to grasp Jeremy''s meaning.


    ire, without hesitating for too long, directly expressed her thoughts.


    "My talents and skills are all rted to mental maniption. Therefore, afterpleting the second ss change, I would still like to enhance my abilities in that area.


    I believe that in the battles toe, I will primarily assume a support role in decision-making. I can help shield you from the enemy''s mental interference during the course ofbat."


    "And at necessary moments, I will also be able to impose sufficient mental interference on our enemies."ire asserted.


    As a psychologist, ire had not originally possessed any formidable talents in the realm of mental maniption. However, with the advent of the apocalypse game, ire awakened additional abilities rted to mental control.


    This led ire to believe that she must fully leverage her talents during battles.


    Both Jeremy and Bonnie deemed ire''s judgment to be exceptionally wise.


    With a smile on his face, Jeremy addressed ire.


    "In fact, I, too, hope that you can provide us with assistance on the level of mental fortitude in the forting battles. The monsters I encountered during the awakening instance were all associated with mental interference.


    If you possess sufficiently powerful abilities by the time I clear the awakening instance, you will undoubtedly be able to offer me tremendous support."


    ire was naturally very pleased by Jeremy''s trust in her abilities.


    "I know that my current strength is still insufficient. However, I hope you can trust me, I will certainly enhance my abilities as quickly as possible. I also wish to provide assistance to you during battles."ire expressed.


    Although ire understood that her abilities did not match those of Jeremy, Bonnie, and Ritchie, she did not feel disheartened or harbor any resentment.


    As a psychologist, ire was able to swiftly adjust her emotional state.


    She was currently facing the challenges at hand with the most appropriate psychological mindset.


    In contrast to ire, Emma was not quite as calm.


    After listening to ire and Jeremy''s discussion, Emma hurriedly turned to Jeremy and asked, "I still haven''t been able to make a decision. What do you think I should focus on enhancing in terms of talents and skills?"


    In response to Emma''s query, Jeremy provided a straightforward answer.


    Since Jeremy had known Emma the longest and understood that she was not one to overthink matters.


    He had already considered which abilities Emma should enhance during her second ss change.


    "After the arrival of the shelter game, the talent you acquired was rted to life and healing. Moreover, your healing abilities were also strengthened after youpleted your first ss change.


    Therefore, I believe you must enhance your healing talents during your second ss change. Your role in the uing battles will be simr to ire''s.


    You will also be taking on a support role. However, in terms of specific skills, you and ire differ significantly.


    ire will ensure that we are not easily subjected to the enemy''s mental interference, while you need to guarantee that we can recover our states in a timely manner duringbat.


    I feel that there is no need for you to possess anybat-oriented skills. You simply need to enhance your healing abilities."


    "If, during the process of your second ss change, you manage to acquire skills that can inflict negative buffs on enemies, I believe that would also be quite beneficial. The specifics of that decision, however, will ultimately rest with you."Jeremy stated.


    "Because during the second ss change, only you will present yourselves before the goddess of ss change. We cannot predict in advance what specific circumstances will arise during that process."


    Once Jeremy confirmed that ire and Emma had truly absorbed what he had just said, he proceeded to outline a concrete n of action.


    "ire, you must diligently utilize your mental maniption skills over the course of the next week. Only in doing so can you ensure the highest probability of enhancing your mental control abilities during your second ss change.


    Emma, you too must continuously employ your healing skills throughout the next week. The reasoning, of course, is entirely the same as for ire."


    Both ire and Emma nodded solemnly.


    They took Jeremy''s words to heart,mitting them to memory with utmost seriousness.


    "This concludes all the important points regarding the second ss change. Although there are not many considerations, you must remain vignt. There can be absolutely no room for negligence."Jeremy reiterated once more to Emma and ire.


    "Rest assured, I will certainly make use of my mental maniption skills continuously over the next week. Additionally, I will encourage Emma to persistently employ her healing skills."


    ire assured Jeremy directly.


    Jeremy nodded in satisfaction.


    "Very well then, it seems we have rified everything concerning the second ss change. Our next order of business should be to address the spoils we obtained from that recent instance."


    Since Jeremy needed to first articte the important points regarding the second ss change, the spoils acquired afterpleting the instance had been left piled beside them.


    None of them had taken the time to examine the specifics of the loot in detail.


    Once the important points were fully discussed, Jeremy and the others naturally began to inspect the details of the spoils.


    While the overall difficulty of the instance they had just cleared was not particrly high, the loot it provided was nheless quite substantial.


    The entire instance yielded five pieces of equipment and four skill books.


    These five pieces of equipment were not exceptionally rare, thus neither Jeremy, Bonnie, nor Ritchie chose to im any of them.


    Instead, they directly distributed the equipment to ire and Emma.


    Among the four skill books, only one was particrly needed by Jeremy, the other three skill books were primarily designed to enhance mental maniption and healing skills.


    "I will take this skill book, as it is extremely important to me."Jeremy stated as he picked up one of the skill books and addressed the group.


    The skill book he selected was rted to time.


    Its name was "Time Stasis."


    The Time Stasis skill would allow Jeremy to significantly slow down the flow of time for a limited duration.


    If paired with his existing talent, The King of Time and Space, the effects of the Time Stasis skill in decelerating the passage of time would be even more formidable.


    No one among the others voiced any objections to Jeremy''s actions.


    They all understood that the reason they had been able to effortlessly clear the recent instance wasrgely due to Jeremy''s contributions.


    After distributing the spoils from the cleared instance, the group began searching for their next target instance.


    Although the instances in their region were generally not very difficult, Jeremy was currently apanied by several teammates who were rtively weak.


    Thus, it was impossible for Jeremy to select instances that exceeded level 50.


    After a careful period of deliberation, Jeremy finally located the entrance to an instance that was only level 45, tucked away in a corner.


    "The instance we are about to enter is a level 45 instance. Its difficulty is slightly higher than that of the previous level 41 instance. Therefore, you all must be mentally prepared."


    Jeremy cautioned the group.


    He then turned his gaze toward ire and Emma: "Both of you must consciously make use of the skills I mentioned earlier when we tackle the uing instance."


    ire and Emma nodded in agreement.


    "Since we are all prepared, let us swiftly enter the next instance! We still have approximately six hours until nightfall, and we might have enough time to search for a new instance after clearing this one."


    Jeremy dered before stepping into the instance.


    ire and Emma followed closely behind Jeremy, while Bonnie and Ritchie took up the rear to cover them.


    Once the group entered the instance, they did not encounter any particrly dangerous situations.


    After all, Jeremy had sessfully achieved a significant enhancement in his mastery of the King of Time and Space talent during the recent battle.


    Jeremy''s strength had now nearly returned to its peak condition.


    What he needed now was simply to conclude today''s battles and enjoy a restful two days. After that, he would be ready to tackle much more challenging instances on his own.


    Naturally, Jeremy''s friends would then be free to attend to their own matters.


    ire and Emma could prepare for their second ss change, while Bonnie and Ritchie could focus on strengthening their respective skills.
