Chapter 26: The Door

Qin Ran picked up the special-level skill book as soon as he could.

Randomly, the system's prompts appeared on his retina-

[Discover the Skill Book: Mysterious Knowledge!] 】

[Do you want to study?] 】

"Learn!"

Qin Ran made a positive choice.

[Learning Skills: Mysterious Knowledge]

[Name: Tracking (Basic)]

[Attribute related: None]

【Skill Category: Support】

[Effect: You have learned an extremely rare knowledge, which includes but is not limited to theology, religious doctrine, occultism, and other special words and symbols!] 】

[Cost: None]

【Prerequisites:None】

[Note: You can read simple alchemy, potions, astrology, magical biology, etc., but you don't really have a mastery of it!] 】

……

Immediately, it was another indoctrination of knowledge in harmony with the body.

Or more precisely, the indoctrination of countless special words and symbols.

When Qin Ran came back to his senses, he had already mastered a lot of knowledge that he had never seen before.

For example: The Great Seven Stars of the Devil!

The Great Seven Stars of the Demons in his mind were roughly forty-one symbols.

This is according to the record and discrimination of conventional knowledge.

If you distinguish according to [mystical knowledge], there are only three meanings: 'death', 'soul' and 'obedience'!

And the positive and negative pentagram is an amnesty!

It is used to ensure the smooth implementation of the three.

However, the image similar to a scorpion, Qin Ran still couldn't understand it.

Including the changes in the original three-character lock, Qin Ran couldn't understand it.

Obviously, it is because the level of [Mysterious Knowledge] is not enough.

However, this was enough for Qin Ran.

He is no longer blinded and knows nothing.

He has dabbled in this particular knowledge.

And, it is destined to raise it to a considerable height.

In fact, this had already been added to Qin Ran's plans.

Then, Qin Ran picked up the extremely thin and clumped iron wire in the other party's hand.

As soon as he started it, Qin Ran immediately noticed the difference in this ball of wire.

Not only is it light, but it's also far softer than you think.

He could squeeze it into a ball the size of a penny, and then, after loosening it slightly, the wire was soon back to its original state.

Moreover, the length is also longer than Qin Ran imagined.

Qin Ran took one in each hand, stretched out his arms, and did not reach the limit.

Of course, what surprised Qin Ran even more was that this thin wire, which was as thin as a hair, was incomparably tough, and according to his strength at the moment, it couldn't be pulled.

Even, the dagger could not be cut off.

Subconsciously, Qin Ran looked at the details of the items in his hand.

[Name: The Key of the Decemer]

[Type: Sundries]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Attack: None]

[Attributes: Delicate Lv2, Telescopic Lv2]

[Special Effect: None]

[Requirements: Lockpicking (proficient), Agile E+]

[Can I bring out this copy: Yes]

[Note: Its body is the hair of some powerful creature, and then under the change of alchemy, it is endowed with magical powers, and it is Kabo's favorite!] If you want to use it, you need special skills! 】

……

[Clever Lv2: Unlock success rate increased by 20%]

[Telescopic Lv2: It can be extended twice as long (originally 2 meters long, total length 6 meters)]

……

Magic items!

The [Deception's Key] note note was enough to tell Qin Ran what he had just gained.

"What a bonus!"

Qin Ran evaluated sincerely.

Any magical item deserves such an evaluation.

And in the same way, the other party who can have a magic item, or Capper, must not be easy to mess with.

Qin Ran looked down at the other party whose head was already shattered.

If the other party can still have a face, I'm afraid it will be unbelievable and dead at this time.

However, Qin Ran was more concerned about the other party's slightly black blood and brain.

Obviously, this is not something that a normal human being can have.

The other party must have undergone some kind of transformation.

Involuntarily, Kilfinn came to Qin Ran's mind. The strange 'half-dead' state after Hitch possessed Zhang Wei.

The carboplatin in front of me naturally can't reach that level.

But it's also definitely tough enough.

【Shooting. Blessed Bullet: A vital attack that deals 200 life damage to opponents (100 gunpowder weapons. Light Firearms (Specialist) X2); Blessed bullet, facing creatures with negative energy, an additional 200 points of damage (judgment passed, automatically identified as a fatal attack), actually causing 400 points of life damage to the opponent, and the opponent dies ......]

(Fatal Attack: Cannot be immune to armor or spells)

The battle information record given by the system was enough for Qin Ran to understand that facing the other party would be a tough battle.

Because, according to his physique D-, with 350 HP, if the opponent has 400 HP, it is at least a D-level physique.

To be able to have such a physique, other attributes must not be too bad.

Coupled with the [Mysterious Knowledge] that the other party had that he didn't know before, using [Mysterious Knowledge] as a means of attack, it would be even more difficult for him to win.

Luckily, the other party wanted to kill him more easily.

Maybe it was Zhang Wei's incident that gave the other party enough confidence that he could kill him.

Or, the other party still needs a fool like Zhang Wei to accomplish other things.

Eventually, it gave him a chance!

After glancing at Capper's corpse again, and taking the 'lesson' given to him by the other party in mind, Qin Ran signaled to Steinbeck, who had been staying quietly not far away, for safety.

"Follow me!"

Qin Ran said so.

Steinbeck nodded and followed.

Although Steinbeck saw that Qin Ran had obtained a special-level skill book and a piece of equipment that should be quite good, but with the constraints of a temporary contract, Steinbeck didn't have any covetousness, and he didn't even have the heart to ask.

For Steinbeck, as long as he can complete the main quest in front of him.

And he was safe for another three months.

As for three months later?

Let's talk about it in three months.

He'll always find a way out of this damn game.

And, he'll seal his damn curiosity completely.

The thought of joining the game out of curiosity made Steinbeck regret it.

If he had known that this game was like this, he swore that he would never even touch it.

But it's too late to say anything now.

I only hope that the 'broker' will be able to do what he promised him.

Although the other party did not give an absolute guarantee, since the other party opened his mouth, with his understanding of the other party, he must be somewhat sure.

"Hopefully everything will be fine!"

Steinbeck prayed in his heart.

Then, when Steinbeck came back to his senses, he realized that he had followed Qin Ran to a beach outside Alcatel Prison at some point.

Next, they entered a cave hidden near the reef.

Steinbeck didn't ask Qin Ran how he found the hole.

The experience of relying on others to survive the dungeon four times in a row had already taught Steinbeck that some people were destined to be extraordinary.

They can be like fish in water in this damn game.

The rest were quickly eliminated.

If he didn't have enough family background, I'm afraid he would have become the latter long ago.

So, Steinbeck knew exactly what to do.

Relying on the wealth brought by his family background, he let himself live ...... Longer!

"Wait!"

The voice of player named 2567 sounded in his ears, and Steinbeck immediately stopped, he looked at this player, who was only the second official copy, carefully examining the surroundings, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

He saw the shadow of many senior players in the other party.

Calm, decisive and courageous.

And, with enough luck.

And these are things that he didn't have.

Although after this dungeon, he can be regarded as a veteran player.

"The weakest veteran player?"

Steinbeck smiled wryly.

Qin Ran didn't notice Steinbeck's wry smile, his eyes were completely attracted by the dark path in front of him.

At this moment, the location where he is standing is the main building of Alcatel Prison.

All he had to do was flip the switch in front of him, and he would be able to appear on the first floor of the cell.

However, this was not what attracted Qin Ran's attention.

What really attracted Qin Ran's attention was the gate at the end of the dark passage!

Clearly, it wasn't Kilfin, as he had suspected, it was Kilfin. A makeshift tunnel that Huff excavated in order to complete his plan.

It's already there.

It's just that Kilfin happens to be paying attention here. What Hitch knows, use it.

So...... What will be behind the door?

Qin Ran thought subconsciously.
