NOVEL NEXT Chapter 242: Drawing Lots Again
Liang Yuan's eyes lit up and he decided to try asking the system.
"System, how many points are needed to specify drawing space element skills?"
"Ding, space does not belong to elemental skills, your specified content cannot be satisfied."
Liang Yuan showed a look of realization and immediately continued asking.
"System, how many points are needed to specify drawing time element skills?"
"Ding, time does not belong to elemental skills, your specified content cannot be satisfied."
Liang Yuan started repeatedly trying, gradually figuring it out.
Elemental skills currently experimentally found include gold, wood, water, fire, earth, light, dark, wind, thunder, and ice.
Others have not been tested by Liang Yuan yet.
Liang Yuan asked again, "System, how many points are needed to specify drawing space skills?"
"Ding, specifying space skills requires a million points."
"System, how many points are needed to specify drawing time skills?"
"Ding, specifying time skills requires a million points."
Liang Yuan fell into slight silence.
Skills related to space and time actually cost as high as a million points!
What does this mean?
Could it be that in the system's evaluation, space and time skills are of high quality?
To be honest, he wanted to draw a space superpower to keep himself safe.
After all, he always advertised himself as a space ability user.
However, at present, he only had a space storage ability to showcase his space power; he had no other space skills.
Furthermore, having seen the means of that space ability user on Turtle Island, he longed for space skills.
But now, the system's prompt left him somewhat speechless.
It seems that skills involving space and time become very expensive.
Liang Yuan shook his head, took a sip of water, and gave up the idea of drawing these two types of skills.
He turned instead to think about which of the ten elements he should choose.
"Elemental defense is very important, if I need to leave Yangshan in the future, I will definitely encounter mutant beasts in the water."
"There won't be a shortage of powerful mutant beasts in the water, I must have certain elemental defense abilities."
"Gold element… similar to Xia Ming's full-body metallization?"
"No, gold, silver, copper, iron, all count as gold elements; if I draw an iron element skill, it can't resist high-temperature flames."
"Wood element… forget it, wood burns when it meets fire."
"Water element… not bad, water can counter fire, but water cannot counter gold, and fire seems to also counter water in turn."
"How about earth element? Earth can extinguish fire and block water which is good, but earth seems to be restrained by gold."
The five elements inherently reinforce and counteract each other, none is perfect.
Liang Yuan wanted to draw a defense skill that restrains all elemental attacks, but how could that be possible?
Thinking it over, he skipped the five elements and considered the light, dark, wind, thunder, and ice elements.
For these five elements, Liang Yuan didn't have much reference in reality.
Only Wu Ying's shadow ability and Zhao Kai's frost ability could be referenced.
But these abilities aren't considered defense abilities.
After thinking it over a while, he looked at the various skills he already possessed.
Ultimately, his gaze still fell on the water attribute!
"In a world of great floods, water elements must be the most abundant and the quickest to absorb."
"If one day I need to enter the vast flood world, learning a water attribute defense skill would definitely be applicable in many scenarios."
"Additionally, my [Evolution] superpower can help me evolve gill-like organs, supporting my unhindered passage under the water."
"With water attribute defense skills, my movements underwater would be even more natural."
If he chose other attribute defense skills, walking underwater would be very awkward.
For example, if he chose a fire element defense skill, can you imagine a ball of flame walking underwater?
Without needing an enemy to act, the flame would be extinguished itself.
Gold, wood, fire, or earth, none of these elements would adapt better than water element skills in a world full of floods and heavy rain.
Liang Yuan did not hesitate much and immediately called the system.
"System, draw a water element defense skill."
"Ding, drawing a water element defense skill requires 40,000 points, please confirm."
Liang Yuan calculated, drawing skills itself requires 10,000 points, and he added three restriction modifiers: water, element, and defense.
This increased the cost by an additional 30,000 points.
Fortunately, he still had 250,000 points, so spending 40,000 points was just a drop in the ocean.
He immediately said, "Confirm!"
The lottery disc suddenly appeared in front of Liang Yuan, the entire disc lit up with water-blue radiance.
Countless light dots flickered inside, most were still white, some were green, and very few were purple.
Liang Yuan suddenly felt a bit regretful; why didn't he add a green skill modifier word?
"Wait, system…"
Liang Yuan hurriedly wanted to stop the lottery.
However, the next moment, a white light dot already appeared.
The next moment, the light dot directly entered Liang Yuan's mind.
"Ding, congratulations, you drew the skill [Hundred Rivers and Seas]."
Liang Yuan had no choice but to check this skill's effect.
[Hundred Rivers and Seas]: Water Attribute Skill
Skill Quality: White
Skill Requirements: Spirit 4, Constitution 4 points
Skill Effect: Activating this skill can form hundreds of water streams around the body, thus blocking external attacks.
Liang Yuan looked at the skill effect. To be honest, it was a very ordinary skill.
The only difference is that it belongs to the elemental class.
It can only be said to be mediocre, the outstanding part is not yet visible.
