Chapter 31: Skill Enhancement

It can only be said that the explosion rate of the key does not seem to be too high, and this is just the second key that Xia Ran is currently holding.

He didn't know if it was because of the shortage of equipment and skills, or simply because those parasitic beasts simply didn't have any rules that were worthy of being included in the white space to become the value of recognized equipment and skills.

However, this did not prevent Xia Ran from looking forward to this second key, after all, the first key directly opened a special equipment that made his combat effectiveness qualitatively change, which greatly improved his situation.

In his opinion, no matter how bad it is, what comes out of it is much better than the current reward for killing parasitic beasts.

It's really something you don't need yourself, and you can sell it......

- In the final analysis, Xia Ran still has a large reduction in the kill reward, holding grudges and entanglements that are difficult to let go.

Of course, he also knew that it was because his combat power had soared, and his comprehensive evaluation had risen directly.

Especially after the spiritual value breaks through to the value of 20 points, the enhanced attribute in the exchange list has also directly changed from 1000 points to 2000 points per point.

- That's the best proof of that.

After returning to his room and closing the door, Xia Ran chose to use the key. He wanted to see as soon as possible how his luck was this time, whether the hidden bloodline was the European Emperor or the Non-Chief, and whether he could draw the good things he needed......

Xia Ran held the quaint key, poked it forward gently, and quickly felt the friction and bite resistance, as if an invisible keyhole in the air happened to be inserted by him with the key.

Rotate with slight force, and carefully feel the friction and resistance. He exhaled slightly, then narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched a faint golden glow burst out of the air.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Damn, it's a gacha effect!

No matter what is extracted, the precursor is probably a dim golden light!

What a disgusting setting...... Then again, this is already a fraud in some sense!

But thankfully, this time there was not just one, but two. Does this mean that it is not a key that corresponds to an unknown reward, but a more random one?

Xia Ran subconsciously guessed, and then looked at the things that were pulled out this time, and found that he was relieved and couldn't help but be a little disappointed, because there was no more parasitic beast larvae or anything.

After all, this thing is actually very valuable, even if you don't use it, you can sell it after returning, maybe after more than three or four mission sessions, the veteran who has initially determined the prototype of his ability system will not be eye-catching.

But before that, Xia Ran pushed himself and others, feeling that a novice like him probably couldn't refuse the powerful ability of the parasitic beast, just like the explanation in the item evaluation, this thing is one of the most suitable choices for newcomers.

The only problem is that you have to increase your mental attributes to ensure that you can have dominance and even control, using parasitic beasts to fight when you need them, and blocking their independent consciousness when you don't.

Because the parasitic beast is really a very dangerous weapon, it must be treated with care.

Even though parasitic beasts must rely on the life of the host itself to survive, they will not do something that threatens the host if they conflict with each other...... Absolutely rational, they are of course unable to kill their hosts without emotion, and they choose to die together.

But stabbing the host's eye or something is something that can be done and doesn't have much effect on themselves.

For example, in the original plot, Izumi Shinichi planned to go to the police to hand over his right hand to the state at the beginning of being parasitized, and Ah You threatened him in this way at that time. It doesn't want to die together, so it won't kill Izumi Shinichi, but it can incapacitate him.

As long as you can't see, speak, or control your hands, it's impossible to reveal the secrets of the parasitic beast, right?

It is precisely because he remembers such plot details that Xia Ran is a little repulsed by the strong choice of the early newcomer T0 level of the parasitic beast, and he has never trusted it. It's like at this time, he is blocking his left hand independent consciousness.

The two things that came out were an old, yellowed parchment scroll, and a long, strangely shaped knife.

He first looked at the yellowed parchment scroll, which had a strong sense of time and history......

"Name: Aikido"

"Type: Skill Scroll"

"Rarity: Black Iron"

"Effect: The user will be proficient in Aikido techniques and will be able to quickly apply them, depending on the user's own learning and comprehension ability."

"Requirements: 4 Strength, 5 Agility, 5 Perception"

"Evaluation: A defensive counterattack martial art that uses the attacker's kinetic energy, manipulates energy, and favors technical control, does not advocate active attack, does not use strength to confront strength, and uses technology to make up for the lack of physical strength."

…………

Xia Ran's eyes lit up suddenly, this time he actually pulled out his skills?

This is a really good thing, you don't need to pay any extra price, as long as you meet the requirements for use, you can directly learn to master an advanced ability...... If you don't have this kind of thing, there are probably only two ways to learn skills.

One is to master it honestly through practice, pay time and energy as a cost, and the effect is not certain, that is, a learning method that everyone can use.

The other is by using the most valuable "causal crystal", which is a more advanced currency than "points", which is said to be the crystallization of the causal power collected by the laws of white space after the established causal chain is broken......

It is said to be a fragment of fate, and because it contains a variety of possible changes, it can be used to determine the concept of the future.

To give a simple example, for example, someone is going to teach Xia Ran a very advanced skill, if it is normal learning, it would have taken him several years or even more than ten years to be able to truly master that ability.

But if there are enough causal crystals, then triggering the cause can directly obtain the effect, that is, lock in an inevitable future. So he will directly save a lot of time and cost, by identifying the concept of the future, and directly master that skill in the present......

And not only as the effect of mastering skills, but also as strengthening the bloodline, strengthening equipment or something, and even things like the mysterious breakthrough realm, cause and effect crystals can play a great role in it.

For the lost, it is a fragment of a wish machine that illuminates a bright future, allowing them to turn possibilities into reality and directly realize different visions.

Xia Ran currently has a B-level causal crystal, and because it is so valuable, he did not consider converting it into points and continuing to strengthen his basic attributes......

But why would a parasitic beast master this melee technique, could it be that the original owner of the body itself had trained and mastered the skill? It should be like this, right?

Without thinking about it for too long, he decisively chose to learn this skill, because it was indeed suitable for him, not to fight power with strength, but to make up for the lack with technology.

Although he also doesn't plan to go up to fight the parasitic beast in close combat by himself at the moment, but not using it now doesn't mean that he won't need it in the future - anyway, for Xia Ran, who is just starting out and lacks everything, everything that can be quickly transformed into his own ability is a good thing.

The way to use the skill scroll is not to tear it directly, nor to slap it on the body or anything, but to ask him to carefully read all the information recorded on it, and try to memorize, understand, and master it deeply.

That is, if you really have the mentality of learning and enter the state of learning, you can activate the use effect of the skill scroll.

Xia Ran read it seriously according to the requirements, and deliberately slowed down, not a glance or ten lines, but a punctuation mark that he was unwilling to let go, and he had to repeat a sentence back and forth several times.

It took nearly half an hour, the moment he was fully into the groove and finished reading the last word on the scrollβ€”

He suddenly felt that his brain was empty, all irrelevant thoughts were suppressed into the depths of his consciousness, and only a large amount of information he had just read, what he had thought about, and more complete and detailed techniques all emerged in an instant.

And these contents are changing as a whole, from words to sounds, from sounds to images, all of which are crammed into his subconscious.

Bare Hand to Hand, Bare Hand to Weapon, Weapon to Weapon, Weapon to Bare Hand, Single to Single, Single to Multiplayer......

In a trance, when he opened his eyes again, Xia Ran felt countless pictures flashing in front of him, as if he was a veteran who had been immersed in this way for more than ten years, and he had practiced various training subjects countless times, until he almost solidified the conditioned reflex into the instinct of the body.

The white space once again showed its magic, allowing him to go from a rookie who didn't know anything about Aikido in a short period of time to a master of all the techniques.

- Perhaps the only drawback is the lack of actual combat experience......

Looking at his raised white hands, Xia Ran couldn't help but have a subtle urge to move, eager to go to the street now to find an unlucky gangster and try his newly mastered ability.

After all, it's really a novelty, and he's like a kid who has just gotten a new toy.

Shaking his head slightly, resisting such an irrational impulse, Xia Ran looked at the other thing that was extracted.

"Name: Parasitic Beast's Fang"

"Category: Equipment"

"Rarity: Black Iron"

"Main attribute 1: Sharpness - the essence is a bone blade used by parasitic beasts to transform attacks, the blade is thin and long, and has a sharpness value far beyond ordinary knives, and can deal more damage if you find a weak point"

"Primary Attribute 2: Solid - The tightly packed bone density makes the equipment material extremely hard, like steel, so it has a very good durability value and will not be easily destroyed."

"Comments: A long, single-edged knife with a wide blade, it can be used for quick and continuous attacks because of its light weight, and it is extremely sharp, and it is also not easy to wear."

…………

This is a slightly hideous shape, close to two meters long bone knife, compared to the previous special equipment, it looks more normal.

However, the attribute description is a little vague.,There's no clear "attack power Γ—Γ— point", "attack damage increased by Γ— percent" and other data-based explanations.,White space doesn't seem to be ready to go through the data of everything.。

It only seems to give a general indication of the specific effects of something.
