'Death Thief' was unfamiliar, probably the guy who suddenly reached out on the cliff to grab Li Changzhou's ankle and then was kicked down.
[Li Changzhou Settlement Report 2]
[Killed 5 strugglers, Rating +5]
[Special authority detected, rating doubled, Rating +10]
[Summary: Li Changzhou Rating +14, Final Rating 'S+']
[Acquired full purchasing rights for this competition]
This time, a total of eight Identity Cards were obtained; when the purchasing rights were not full, each Identity Card could unlock an additional 5% of rights.
Li Changzhou was sure he could max out the purchasing rights this time, and the Identity Cards could only be exchanged for Game Coins, so he gave the remaining seven, except for 'Electric Eel', to two female college students.
Li Qianxia didn't want it, she felt she had "privately" kept the Bull Horn, and the gains were already substantial enough to declare, 'the world is mine now.'
Yang Qinglan accepted them all without demur.
The blue flames continued to outline the text.
[Rating exceeded, extra reward obtained, random item*1, Game Coins*500]
[Total Value Acquired 200 points... two Identity Cards detected, please allocate——]
[Total 800 (300 + 500) Game Coins acquired... two Identity Cards detected, please allocate——]
[Bus ticket*4, Metro ticket*2]
（Allocate Game Coins——Black: 500 coins: White: 300 coins）
（Allocate Value Points——Black: 150 points; White: 50 points）
The black Identity Card originally had 10 points of value, Li Qianxia this time obtained 40 points, adding the 150 points allocated, exactly 200 points, value increased to 3.
The pair again gained 2 Attribute Points, and their backpack expanded by one slot, but this time the gifted Game Coins increased from 300 to 400.
The white Identity Card initially had 36 points of value, with 50 points now allocated, totaling 86 points, still 14 points away from upgrading.
Li Changzhou wanted to upgrade the white card, curious about the differences, but to enhance his sister's strength, he could only wait for another time.
Yang Qinglan also reached level 3.
As long as there was a kill, her Instinct almost always brushed up to an 'Assist Kill' rating.
"There are guns in the mall, do you want to buy one?" asked Li Qianxia, swiping the Identity Card with her finger.
"I don't need it," decided Li Changzhou, choosing to forsake technology and embrace physical prowess, "If you want, you can buy one as a backup."
He was mainly addressing Yang Qinglan.
Yang Qinglan did not answer; she held the black Identity Card in her left hand and propped her chin with her right, occasionally lowering her hand to slide across the card surface, studying it intently.
She felt she was entirely a burden this time and must enhance her own strength.
Li Changzhou gave her another look for a second, then lowered his head to start selecting skills.
'Spear Mastery', 'Single-handed Sword Mastery', 'Archery Mastery', 'Dagger Mastery', 'Stick Mastery'...
'Gecko Style·Climbing', small stiff hairs growing on limbs;
'Big-eared Fox Style·Fast Chewing', chew food five times per second;
'Big-eared Fox Style·Heat Dissipation', dissipate heat through ears;
'Orchid Mantis·Am I Handsome', offensive mimicry, attracting target attacks;
'Rooting', bury oneself in the ground, using the Earth's power to restore physical strength and heal injuries;
'Cold Resistance', increase ability to withstand cold;
'Bite', increase biting strength;
'Sweep', increase force when using tail as a weapon;
'Bow-legged Spider Style·Color Changing', change to the color of petals;
'Double Stab', use weapon to launch two consecutive attacks;
'Call the Wind and Rain', create a gale and heavy rain within a ten-meter diameter circle. The higher the Intelligence, Charm, and Perception, the stronger the intensity.
'Opossum Style·Playing Dead', lying back with tongueout, emitting the stench of a corpse;
...
This time, the skills, both in quality and quantity, far exceeded those of previous sessions.
Li Changzhou found the skill for the Electric Eel.
"Power Control," mastering the electric currents within the body.
Most biological entities contain electricity, fruits do too, and so do human bodies, although...
In the ninth-grade physics textbook, it clearly states the following: a new dry battery has a voltage of 1.5V; household circuits have a voltage of 220V; the bioelectricity required to sustain a human body is about 1mV, which is 0.001V.
To be more specific: the heart generates a voltage of 1-2 millivolts when beating, opening and closing one's eyes produces a voltage of 5-6 millivolts, and reading or thinking induces a brain voltage of 0.2-1 millivolts.
This level of electricity isn't even enough to electrofish in a pool.
For ordinary people, there might be no solution, but Li Changzhou had another option—to plunder the "Electric Ray Style·Charging" from the eel's Identity Card.
This was a C-grade skill, so its effect should be decent.
The question was, would it be worth it?
To use up two skill slots in exchange for the ability to release electrical power? Moreover, the strength of this power was still a question mark.
Li Changzhou fell into a dilemma, thought about it, and still bought "Orchid Mantis·Am I Handsome" and "Water Buffalo Style·Great Strength Bull Fist," both C-grade skills, sold for 450 Game Coins each.
[Name: Orchid Mantis·Am I Handsome]
[Type: Skill]
[Quality: C]
[Special Effect: When a male says "Am I Handsome," it provokes the target's hostility, drawing the target's attacks]
[Minimum Use Conditions: Charm 7]
[Introduction: The higher the charm, the better the effect, and the longer the duration]
[Note: Its owner is a mantis, got it? You must be the predator, and not an actual orchid, or else you will know what it's like to ruin beauty]
"Miss Yang, I've redeemed the 'Orchid Mantis·Am I Handsome.' From now on, I'll be your true shield!"
"You're not handsome. Thanks." Yang Qinglan didn't even lift her head.
"?"
How could anyone say such a thing without a conscience?
[Name: Water Buffalo Style·Great Strength Bull Fist]
[Type: Skill]
[Quality: C]
[Special Effect: When using fists as weapons, Strength +2, includes Special Effect–Bull Horn Spiral Force]
[Minimum Use Conditions: Must have fists in the literal sense]
[Introduction: Even with this skill, strength will not exceed 10]
[Note: Bull Horn Spiral Force requires enlightenment; low-intelligence beings should avoid it (Bonus: The water buffalo itself didn't master it, otherwise it could have knocked down its killer with one punch)]
Adding his own strength of 8 points, if Li Changzhou were to fight bare-handed, his strength would be exactly 10 points, and the Bull Horn Spiral Force was something to look forward to.
He also added one point to Constitution and one point to Agility for his upgrade.
[Detected a maxed-out attribute, would you like to break through the limit?]
Break through the limit?
Faced with the unknown, Li Changzhou decided not to rush and instead went back to the forum to observe and see if he could learn from others' experiences.
On his black Identity Card, he had 270 coins left, Li Qianxia had 465 coins.
"Qian Xia, do you want to buy anything?" he asked.
"Call the Wind and Rain!" Li Qianxia blurted out without thinking.
"With your charm and intelligence, you might as well forget it."
One should have self-awareness.
"You want to redeem it?" Li Changzhou asked Yang Qinglan again.
Gales, heavy rains, low temperatures, combined with her "Attract And Repel" and "Thorns," rivaling a combo in games.
Yang Qinglan slightly furrowed her brows, resembling a thoughtful beauty in a painting.
"Even if I learn 'Call the Wind and Rain,' it's no use against that water buffalo," she said.
"No one can face it alone!" Li Qianxia exclaimed, "We're a team, we divide our tasks and cooperate, that's our style, right, bro?"
"Rather than team, I prefer the word family, where closeness knows no bounds," Li Changzhou said solemnly, deep in thought.
"Anyway, I'm already family," Li Qianxia posed with an indifferent attitude.
Yang Qinglan glanced at Li Changzhou, unsure if he was joking intentionally to dismiss his own guilt for being a drag or if he was just being flippant.
She assigned her attribute points improvements to Perception.
[Perception: 7] (You can hear a caterpillar eating leaves five meters away)
She also redeemed "Call the Wind and Rain."
