NOVEL NEXT Chapter 18: Chapter 18
After running for two hours last night, Lin Yi's legs were sore, and he only got used to the pain in his feet by the end of the school day.
As usual, he went to the hangout spot of the troublemakers, intending to fight.
After facing those guys, Lin Yi began to understand why they liked fighting and using violence so much.
Because fights are addictive, just like drugs, it's easy for people to get immersed in them.
Of course, when Lin Yi talked about fighting, he meant the part he enjoyed: hitting others. That feeling was incredible. When he knocked someone down, it felt like he had won against the whole world.
Although it's an illusion, that illusion can be quite captivating.
On the contrary, for those who get hit, the experience is not as pleasant: they start to hate fighting and violence.
Because when Lin Yi appeared in the alley, the troublemakers scattered like mice seeing a cat. They disappeared without a trace, not giving Lin Yi a chance to fight.
This greatly disappointed Lin Yi; the guys of this generation were really too weak.
Are there no ambitious youths like Takiya Genji who want to dominate Teitan High?
With great disappointment, Lin Yi went home.
He looked at the treadmill there and hesitated for a moment, saying, "After running, I'm sweaty and have to take a shower... it's very annoying. I'll do it after I come back."
After changing clothes and without bothering to comb his hair, he took a taxi to the upscale entertainment club.
After having one battle after another, Lin Yi finally managed to get four boxes in the end.
Two common boxes and two silver boxes.
The two common boxes contained some various items.
One was an infinite battery for phones; its name clearly indicated its purpose and didn't generate expectations.
The other was memory bread.
"Memory bread? Like in Doraemon?"
Lin Yi curiously looked at the information about the memory bread.
[Memory Bread (6 pieces): Each piece consumed allows the user to be in an absolute memory state for ten minutes, facilitating the memorization of anything. This memory does not fade over time.]
"As long as it's not Doraemon's memory bread, it's fine."
After reading the information, Lin Yi felt relieved. He remembered that the memory bread in Doraemon was a big disappointment; after going to the bathroom, the memory content would also disappear along with the feces.
"This is good. I should take some time to use it and study English..."
Lin Yi was quite satisfied with the item.
Then he opened the two silver boxes.
One gave him an intermediate painting skill, and the other granted him the skill of being dexterous.
[Intermediate Painting: You now have intermediate-level painting skills.]
A large amount of knowledge about painting appeared in Lin Yi's mind.
From 1000 attempts at making drawings to portraits, landscapes, and even abstract painting.
From knowing nothing, he went on to master the technique with skill. He went through an evolution as if he had had great dedication and effort.
After the memories ended, Lin Yi knew exactly how to paint.
"Well, mastering one more skill means having an additional way to impress girls... Not bad."
Lin Yi was very satisfied with the intermediate painting skill. He thought about finding an opportunity to casually show it off to Sonoko and Ran, aiming to gain their admiration and amazement.
Now, the other skill.
[skillful with hands: Your fingers have become very skillful. Note: With this skill, you can make your opponents 'come'.]
"Wow, why are you so vulgar, system?"
Lin Yi was shocked to read the note at the end of the dexterous skill description and, with an indignant attitude, said, "How are kids supposed to learn to use this?"
[Ding! Do you want to delete the skill 'skillful with hands'?]
"No... I'm not an elementary school kid, I'm already an adult!"
Lin Yi confidently replied.
After acquiring the dexterous skill, Lin Yi felt his fingers were much more precise.
Looking at the exhausted girl beside him, Lin Yi frowned.
As Lu Xun said, practice is the only criterion for verifying the truth.
So, slowly extending his sinful hand.
After three moves of inserting, scraping, and squeezing, the girl immediately surrendered, emitting groans of pain and longing at the same time before giving up and passing out.
Lin Yi was quite proud of this:
"He didn't even use his sword, and she already surrendered."
Lin Yi was very satisfied with the dexterous skill.
The day had been quite productive.
Upon returning home, Lin Yi ignored the treadmill, took a nice shower, pushed himself onto the bed, and began to reflect on the gains and losses of the past few days.
After thinking it over carefully, Lin Yi realized that in these three days he had opened eight boxes. Although some of the skills seemed satisfactory, in reality, the quality was not as good as the Combat Mastery skill he obtained on the first day.
This made Lin Yi wonder: "Is my luck that bad?"
To verify this, Lin Yi decided to conduct an experiment.
