Black Book

Chapter 52 [Greed] Krypton Gold

While muttering to himself, Zhu Haomiao took out a large stack of banknotes. Suddenly he felt a little bored and shook his head in self-mockery.

The money in the fantasy realm is like data in the game, which you cannot bring with you when you are born and you cannot take with you when you die. It is enough to have enough for your use. You cannot indulge in this illusory sense of satisfaction!

Afterwards, the boy focused his consciousness on the dragon emblem on his chest, carefully sensing the mysterious information contained therein.

Knowledge that was difficult to describe in words flowed into his mind like a stream. After just over ten minutes, Zhu Haomiao had a rough understanding of the four exercises he had purchased.

With a thought, new information appeared on the [Black Book].

[Hard Qigong]: LV.0 (Beginner)
【Big Toad Qi】: LV.0 (Beginner)
【Layer Strength】: LV.0 (Beginner)
[Plum Blossom Step]: LV.0 (Beginner)
Internal strength, external strength, fighting style, body style, the most basic training conditions of Chinese martial arts are already in place, and what remains is to practice in the hottest days of summer and the coldest days of winter, and to practice diligently without stopping...

He moved his fingers subconsciously, and a dazzling gold coin appeared out of thin air, rolling and dancing on the boy's fingertips.

Somehow, Zhu Haomiao seemed to feel that the gold coins in his hands, in addition to literally "buying" people's hearts, seemed to be able to "buy" other things!
After pondering for a long time, Zhu Haomiao looked at the information about the skills in the [Black Book] as if he had a sudden inspiration, and slowly narrowed his eyes.

No way……

Following the guidance of instinct, the boy flicked his thumb lightly, and a streak of golden light drew a beautiful parabola, which turned from real to virtual on the way down and faded away into thin air.

hum~
The mysterious authority distorts the timeline and forces the illusory "result" into reality.

The next second, the [Big Toad Qi] on the [Black Book] burst into brilliant golden light, and a huge torrent of information poured into his mind, as if Zhu Haomiao had been practicing day and night for several months, and finally had an epiphany and achieved a breakthrough.

[Big Toad Qi]: LV.0 (Beginner) → LV.1 (Entry)
[Effect] +1
Zhu Haomiao stood up from the sofa in a flash, feeling the surging energy that suddenly settled into his body, and his eyes widened in surprise.

The boy clenched his fists and took a slow, long breath according to his experience of "several months of hard training".

hiss~
Zhu Haomiao held his breath and held it for nearly twenty seconds. His chest and abdomen swelled up. As he held his breath and moved his internal energy, his internal organs moved along with it, making faint gurgling sounds like the hum of a toad in summer.

After a few minutes, the evil spirits such as cold, dampness, dryness, heat, epidemic and poison in the internal organs that are usually imperceptible were removed and forced out, and as Zhu Haomiao slowly exhaled a mouthful of fishy and foul air, it was expelled from the body.

Call ~
He exhaled for another twenty seconds. The breath was fishy and smelly. Even Zhu Haomiao himself couldn't stand it, so he quickly opened the window for ventilation.

Sure enough... taking shortcuts still has some drawbacks...

Breathing in the fresh night breeze, Zhu Haomiao sighed with some regret.

For example, the initial refining of the internal organs should have been completed bit by bit over several months with painstaking efforts, but I completely skipped this process. I will have to spend some time to make up for the shortfall in this area in the future.

Another point is that the attributes that should have grown gradually over a few months were forcibly compressed into an instant. This behavior seemed to violate the most basic laws of physics and could only settle deep in the soul and flesh, waiting for one to take time to digest and absorb.

Through this experiment, Zhu Haomiao also understood that the attributes obtained when upgrading the original sin, like the upgrading of the skills, must comply with the underlying laws of the plane, so they cannot be "realized" instantly. But by analogy, if the underlying laws of the fantasy realm are not strict, or are more relaxed, can these great powers also be added at the moment of upgrading?
After thinking for a few seconds, Zhu Haomiao shook his head, suppressed these conjectures in his heart, and looked at the only three remaining [Greed Gold Coins] with burning eyes.

He stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and the [Book of Black] instantly materialized in his palm and opened up automatically.

With one hand clenched into a fist suspended above the spread-out pages of the book, Zhu Haomiao lightly loosened his five fingers, and three [Greed Gold Coins] slowly fell from his palm, like stones falling into a lake, sinking into the pages of the book with brilliant golden light, causing a faint ripple of laws to appear on the pages of the [Black Book].

The next second, the remaining three skills emitted golden light, and in a way that Zhu Haomiao could not understand, they instantly completed the "result" that would take several months to achieve.

[Hard Qigong]: LV.0 (Beginner) → LV.1 (Entry)
[Body] +1
[Layer Strength]: LV.0 (Beginner) → LV.1 (Entry Level)
[Strength] +1
[Plum Blossom Step]: LV.0 (Beginner) → LV.1 (Entry Level)
[Agility] +1
His brain was a little dazed by the huge and complicated "experience", and it took Zhu Haomiao several minutes to sort out these "virtual memories" that had been added out of thin air.

Like a child who got a new toy, Zhu Haomiao slowly squatted down and rushed out like a spring.

Just as he was about to hit the dining table, the boy lightly tapped his toes and slid past the table gently without a trace of worldly air.

Like a dark swimming fish, Zhu Haomiao rushed back and forth in the living room full of furniture, maintaining a very high speed throughout the whole process, but strangely did not touch any piece of furniture.

A few minutes later, Zhu Haomiao suddenly stopped and nodded with satisfaction.

It is worthy of being the first movement technique recommended by Senior Brother Feng. It is really useful for dodging and moving in a small range.

With the [Plum Blossom Step], three or five ordinary people cannot surround him at all. He can completely rely on his body movements to kill the enemies one by one. His combat power has a qualitative leap in close combat.

After testing the [Plum Blossom Step], Zhu Haomiao picked up the fruit knife on the table, took a slow, deep breath, and then held it.

Call ~
The internal energy rushed through his body, and his slender muscles suddenly tensed up. The originally delicate and thin boy inexplicably gained a hint of toughness.

I raised the fruit knife and gently scratched the back of my hand. The sharp blade left a faint white mark on the skin, but the feeling from the hand holding the knife was like cutting on thick and tough old cowhide.

After pausing for a few seconds, Zhu Haomiao cut again. This time he used more skill and added a bit of strength. As expected, he easily cut the skin, leaving a bleeding red line.

It seems that the entry-level [Hard Qigong] has limited protection against sharp weapons. If you want to completely ignore cold weapons, you probably have to practice to an extremely high level.

Zhu Haomiao narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, but then changed his mind and shook his head.

The relationship between the spear and the shield is in a spiral upward direction. If your "shield" is strong, others will naturally find ways to break it.

For example, creating more powerful magic weapons, and among the eight basic powers there are [Armor-breaking Power] and [Penetrating Power] that are specially designed to break through the horizontal training!
In the fantasy realm with a certain level of technology, special armor-piercing shells and anti-tank guns are the natural nemesis of the horizontal warriors. Their penetrating power is strong enough to penetrate a 1-meter thick homogeneous steel plate and destroy it without a sound.

The power of [Black Book] is gradually unfolding, brothers, please vote~~
