I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

Chapter 55: Attempting to Manipulate Water in the Human Body (Fourth Update)

Zhang Chen put the cake into his mouth. The cake was very sweet, but Zhang Chen's mood was complicated.

"In this world, no matter where you go, there are good people and bad people. There are bad people in the camp of good people, and good people in the camp of bad people. It's just that everyone belongs to a different camp. I belong neither to the imperial court's camp nor to the rebels' camp. What does it have to do with me which camp he belongs to? He gave me cake to eat! The imperial court's camp is full of righteous pronouncements, but they don't give me a single grain of rice, and they still want to collect rent from me."

Zhang Chen put the remaining sweet cakes into his arms, then continued walking in the wind and rain, hugging the jar.

"They're just a group of common people who can't survive. What's wrong with them?" Zhang Chen muttered to himself, his hands holding the cake tightly: "No matter which camp it is, as long as it doesn't involve me, that's fine."

He wasn't afraid that the cake was poisoned. People who are poisoned to death can't be hidden from the elders and youngsters in the village. If it's reported to the authorities, they'll be exposed.

Zhang Chen came to the Zhang family's home with the white flour cake, only to see Zhang was doing handwork. Zhang Chen held the two little ones in his arms, then took out the white flour cake, immediately causing the two little ones to cheer. They hugged the cake and began to gnaw on it, forgetting even their own older brother.

"Mother, you eat one." Zhang Chen handed a white flour cake to Zhang.

Zhang glanced at the white flour cake, then looked at Zhang Chen, but didn't take it. Instead, she lowered her head and continued to embroider: "You eat it. You're at the age where you're growing, and it's a waste for me to eat it."

Looking at Zhang's skinny body, so thin that she seemed to have shrunk into a ball, Zhang Chen couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. Then, he forcibly stuffed the cake into Zhang's hand: "It's just a cake. Eating one more won't make you gain weight, and our family won't be short of food in the future. You eat it quickly! How can a mother not enjoy herself and let her children eat first? If that gets out, people will point fingers and scold me for being unfilial. Mother, do you want to put me in a position of unfilial piety?"

Zhang Chen's words were firm, not allowing Zhang to refuse. He directly started a moral kidnapping.

Zhang stared at Zhang Chen with her eyes, then looked at the cake. Finally, she stretched out her calloused hands and took the cake, then put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully.

Zhang Chen also picked up a cake and began to eat it. It had been many years since he had eaten white flour cake.

"I have something to tell you, Mother." Zhang Chen said, looking at Zhang while eating.

Zhang looked at Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen said: "In the future, I'm afraid there will be a great drought. It will be unavoidable that thousands of miles will be barren and people will exchange their children for food. We must prepare early and be ready to move at any time."

Upon hearing this, Zhang paused in her eating, a look of panic appearing in her eyes: "Where did you hear this news?"

Zhang Chen explained: "This land is about to have a dragon ascending, and it is absorbing the water vapor between heaven and earth. Have you seen the rainwater outside? It dries up as soon as it hits the ground. That's because there is a dragon sucking water. If this continues, there will be no water in the sky, and no water underground. The grass and trees will be dried to death, the wild animals in the mountains will be starved to death, and the fields will yield nothing. A natural disaster is right in front of us."

At this time, Zhang's face changed greatly, and she looked at Zhang Chen in a panic: "What should we do?"

Zhang Chen smiled: "You don't have to worry. At worst, we'll escape the famine."

Zhang was stunned when she heard this, and the worry on her face became even greater.

Zhang Chen was just giving Zhang a warning shot today.

Avoiding Zhang's eyes and ears, Zhang Chen secretly used the water pumping technique to fill all the water vats, buckets, and basins in the house with water, then sealed them with yellow mud to perfectly prevent the water from evaporating, before bidding farewell and leaving.

Zhang Chen got up to say goodbye, shuttled through the rain curtain, and returned home all the way. He stood in front of the wild pheasant in the basket, a trace of anticipation in his eyes: "If my water control technique can control the water in the human body, this function is really heaven-defying. Who will be my opponent then? Before the other party can even fight me, I can directly use the water flow in their body to pierce their heart, ensuring that they die without a burial place. Or directly burst their blood vessels, or block their blood vessels, and torture them to death."

"Whether it works or not, I still need to experiment." Zhang Chen looked at the wild pheasant in the cage, and the next moment directly activated the skill.

"Cluck~ Cluck~ Cluck~"

The wild pheasant was calling leisurely in the cage, unaware of the danger that was about to come. Its eyes looked at Zhang Chen in confusion, as if asking for food, its voice full of leisure and ease.

And Zhang Chen at this time stared at the wild pheasant with his eyes, his eyes full of heat. The skill had already been activated, covering the wild pheasant in the cage:

"It should work, right! After all, it's all water. As long as it's water, it's under my control. It must work! It must work!"

Along with the activation of Zhang Chen's skill, the wild pheasant in the cage tilted its head and looked at Zhang Chen, as if looking at a big fool, its eyes full of curiosity.

"How could this be?"

Along with the activation of the golden finger, a trace of disbelief appeared in Zhang Chen's eyes. His golden finger couldn't do anything to the wild pheasant at all. The wild pheasant looked at Zhang Chen with a gurgling sound, its eyes very calm, as if it didn't feel anything at all.

"Isn't it said that there is sixty percent water in the human body? How could this be?" Zhang Chen couldn't figure out the change.

Zhang Chen took out the prepared wild vegetables, chopped them up, and fed them to the wild pheasant, his mind thinking about the deviation. After a long time, he had some inspiration in his heart:

"There are two possibilities. The first possibility is that because the other party is life, the water in the life body is different from the water in the outside world. It contains the breath of life, or it contains some kind of peculiar power, so my skill cannot interfere with the water in the life body. So I can't plunder the water in the living body!"

"The second type is the type of blood. Blood is like lubricating oil. Although it is liquid, it is not ordinary water at all. My water control technique only controls water, while the human body is blood. Blood is not water, it can only be regarded as a liquid."

Zhang Chen was thoughtful in his heart. There were probably only these two situations. Either one was possible, and Zhang Chen couldn't tell for a while.

"The knowledge of the previous life really can't be fully believed, because when placed in reality, it's not the same thing at all." Zhang Chen muttered to himself, then took out a wild pheasant and directly verified it.

He directly drained the blood from the wild pheasant. Along with the death of the wild pheasant, Zhang Chen began to heat water to pluck its feathers, cut it open, and disembowel it. Before long, a wild pheasant had been processed.

Zhang Chen looked at the white and tender wild pheasant. The next moment, he directly activated the skill. He saw the pheasant's meat change at a speed visible to the naked eye. Countless water mist was extracted from the pheasant's body. The pheasant's breathing had already turned into dried jerky.

"It worked! It seems that my first guess has confirmed my conjecture. Of course there is water in the living body. My skill can extract water from the dead living body, but it cannot extract it from the living life, proving that there is a wonderful aura in the body of the living creature, which made my skill fail."

Zhang Chen looked at the dried chicken in his hand, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter: "I seem to have discovered a way to store food. As long as the water in the meat is completely extracted, the meat will be permanently preserved and will not rot. In the years of great famine in the future, this is a divine skill!"

This is indeed a divine skill. This is a natural preservative.

"Sure enough, there are no useless skills in this world, only useless people." Zhang Chen stroked the dry wild pheasant, which had been completely dried by Zhang Chen. There was no moisture in it, but it did not affect consumption. When you want to eat it in the future, just put it in water and cook it. The cooked chicken will be no different from the freshly slaughtered chicken.

"A very good skill!" Zhang Chen looked at his four skills and secretly gave a thumbs up. He felt that he was narrow-minded.

After thinking clearly about the golden finger, although he was a little disappointed that he couldn't control the water in the human body, he was very useful for preserving food in the future because he could master the air-drying technology. So Zhang Chen happily put the chicken away, then sat at the table next to him and began to practice writing.

Although he doesn't know how to read, he still needs to practice writing, so that he can keep up with the progress when he really learns to read in the future.

Nothing happened all night, it was just a little noisy next door.

Zhang Chen went to the mountain to feed the bumblebees, then carried the basket all the way to the ancient tomb. Looking at the unextinguished charcoal fire, Zhang Chen took off his clothes and went into the cave to dig soil bare-chested.

It was very hot in the cave. Before long, Zhang Chen was already sweating profusely, but the melting speed of the frozen ice in the cave was also very fast.

Today's Zhang Chen was particularly hardworking in digging, especially when he saw the experience points constantly increasing, he was even more excited.

[Experience + 8]

[Experience + 18]

[Experience + 16]

[Experience + 19]

...

Today's digging of the baked soft frozen soil was completed. Zhang Chen's eyes looked at his golden finger panel:

[Name: Zhang Chen]

[Skill 1 (Second Order): Light of the True God (0/5000)]

[Skill 2 (Unranked): Dragon Qi (0/2000)]

[Skill 3 (Unranked): Blood Control (0/100000)]

[Skill 4 (Unranked): Water Control Technique (0/1000)]

[Points: 4990]

"Damn it, is this intentional? Only ten points short?" Zhang Chen's eyes looked at his golden finger panel, especially when he saw that he was only ten points short of being able to upgrade, he felt bad all over.

Only ten points short, and he could upgrade the Light of the True God and kill the fox spirit! Maybe it was just a shovel away!

ps: Next, I will upgrade it for everyone tomorrow and start the decisive battle with the fox spirit. The rhythm is on the right track. Please follow up, little partners.
