Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
[You opened the gold treasure chest.]
[You have obtained a Skill Mutation Card.]
Skill Mutation Card?
The name sounded like a good thing. Zhou Han hurriedly checked the detailed description.
[Skill Mutation Card: After use, it can randomly mutate an unlocked skill of your class.]
He wondered how it would mutate and what standards it would be.
The system did not provide a clear explanation.
He had to test it himself.
“Use the Skill Mutation Card.”
[You used a Skill Mutation Card. Your skill ‘Leap’ has mutated. Please check.]
‘Hmm? Did Leap mutate?’
‘Can I fly now?’
After Zhou Han curiously checked, he was stunned.
He had guessed correctly. This skill could really let him fly.
[Levitation +4: Break free from the gravity of the planet. The body will be suspended 10 meters above ground for 2 minutes. Cooldown: 8 seconds.]
The name of the skill changed. It was called Levitation.
After seeing it, Zhou Han was extremely excited. Although he could only fly up to ten meters which was not completely flying, as he continued to enhance it in the future, it was hard to say what would happen.
He was about to test the effect of the skill when he heard a pair of neat footsteps walking over.
“This is it. I just sensed the demon.”
A pair of guards came. They were all wearing iron armor and had a solemn killing aura. All of them were very powerful.
Zhou Han casually appraised one of them. They were all experts above Level 40.
The leader’s level was higher than Level 60.
“Hmm? This is a Shadow Demon. It was killed not long ago. The body is still warm.”
Soon they found the body, examined it, and came to a conclusion.
“Did you kill this Shadow Demon, young man?”
The commander of the Flying Feather Army happened to see Zhou Han and Tang Yurou, so he asked.
“That’s right. How dare it act presumptuously in our human territory. It’s courting death.”
Zhou Han nodded and said indignantly.
“Good. Young men do have the courage to speak such grand words. A warrior such as yourself must be rewarded.”
The commander was a little surprised at first. He did not expect the other party to be able to kill the Shadow Demon at such a young age.
Then, he clapped in admiration and a smile appeared on his cold face.
Hearing that there was a reward, Zhou Han’s body lit up and he immediately said humbly, “Commander, you flatter me. It is my duty as a resident of Blue Thunder City. There is no need for a reward.”
“Well said. Alright then, I’ll make a note of your credit first.”
“If everyone in Blue Thunder City has the same awareness as you, what’s there to fear about the demons?”
The commander admired Zhou Han even more. It was rare to see such a capable and humble young man.
However, in the current situation, there were more and more demon invasions. He wondered how long Blue Thunder City could last.
Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Han’s expression turned ugly.
Good lord!
This was not going according to plan!
‘I was just being polite and you took it seriously.’
Were people like this in the past?
Zhou Han wished he could slap himself. Why did he have to say such things?
The reward was gone just like that.
However, from what he said, the situation was probably not good.
The situation might be more serious than he had imagined. He had to increase his strength through the gold mine.
Just as he was about to leave, he heard the commander speak again.
“I think you’re a talent. Our city lord is preparing to form a demon-slaying division. I wonder if you’re interested.”
[A new mission has appeared: Talent Selection. Do you accept?]
Sigh, not bad. Although the reward was gone, he had earned another mission.
It wasn’t a huge loss. It was completely acceptable.
“Of course I’m interested. I also want to contribute to Blue Thunder City.”
[You accepted the mission. Please check the mission description!]
[Talent Selection]
Description: In the talent selection competition, successfully enter the top ten. The higher the ranking, the more generous the reward.
Progress: Incomplete
Location: Martial Arts Practice Field (Coordinates: …)
“Very good. The participants are all young talents. I hope you can emerge from the selection.”
With that, the commander retreated with the soldiers.
Zhou Han opened the map and looked at the location of the martial arts arena. It was not very far.
Just as she was about to leave, she saw Tang Yurou still squatting there crying.
She looked like a weeping beauty.
A kind man like Zhou Han definitely could not watch a little beauty cry in front of him.
“There’s no use crying like that. Let’s bury your grandfather first and let him go in peace!”
Seeing Tang Yurou’s flustered expression, Zhou Han immediately gave her an idea.
“But, but I don’t have money…” Tang Yurou said awkwardly.
Burial in ancient times was not that simple. It had to be done in style, so the result was costly.
Zhou Han was a little speechless. ‘You’re already Level 30. Can’t you earn this bit of money?’
At this moment, he was typing in the system to withdraw some gold coins.
“I-I’ll sell myself to you. I just want Grandpa to be buried well!”
Tang Yurou saw that Zhou Han did not react for a long time. It was obvious that he did not want to lend her money.
That was true. How could a psychopath like him be so kind?
That was why she had said the part about selling herself to bury her grandfather.
“Ah! Here… take these gold coins.”
Zhou Han was speechless. After placing the gold coins in Tang Yurou’s hand, he left.
“Don’t worry, I’ll keep my word. After things are settled, I’ll come to you. I’ll be your maidservant from now on!”
Although Tang Yurou was unwilling, she still shouted at Zhou Han with determination in her eyes.
‘I’d rather not have such a grumpy girl as a maid!’
Zhou Han felt a little uncomfortable just thinking about it!
At the martial arts arena.
At this moment, there was a sea of people. Everyone was fighting to sign up for the selection.
“This brother looks unfamiliar! Are you also here for the selection?”
While Zhou Han was queuing, a young man came over to chat.
The other party’s hair was disheveled and he was a little sloppy from fright. At this moment, he looked at Zhou Han with a kind smile.
Seeing the other party’s expression and actions, Zhou Han quickly determined that he was a native of the Godfiend Continent.
“That’s right. Is there a problem?”
Zhou Han did not find it annoying and started chatting. What if he triggered something hidden?
“There’s a problem, of course, there’s a problem! I don’t think your strength is much. It’s a little difficult to pass the selection.”
The scruffy old man said it with a straight face. He made it sound like a real deal.
Even Zhou Han believed it.
‘He can see through my strength?’
Could he be an expert?
Could he have met a hidden big shot?! Did he send something to him?
Thinking of this, Zhou Han was a little excited. His luck was a little heaven-defying!
