Chapter 18: fiasco

  Chapter 18 fiasco

  Strong defense is a very important attribute.

   If the enemy can't even break through your defense, then from a certain point of view, you are invincible.

  The first skill Qin Mo awakened on defense was hardening, which can temporarily increase the defense power of a certain part of the body after activation, which can be understood as partial defense.

  The new skill Man of Steel is the overall defense of the whole body, which is more powerful than hardening, and it can be regarded as an advanced version.

   After activating the skill, the skin on the surface of the body will be harder than steel. Even the armor-piercing bullets dedicated to sniper rifles cannot penetrate.

  Of course, although Qin Mo's current defense is strong, it is not omnipotent. The defense is only 20 points, and there is still a long way to go before the body resists missiles.

   "We still need to continue to absorb solar energy and accumulate light energy points."

  Qin Mo thought to himself, and then quietly activated the Man of Steel.

  He raised his hands and turned over to check carefully, and found that from the outside, there was no change after activating the skill.

  But he pinched his fingers and poked the skin of his palm, and he could feel a very obvious sense of obstruction, even if he exerted some strength.

  Afterwards, Qin Mo slowly clenched his hands tightly, and then slowly opened them, making sure that the hardening of the skin would not affect his normal actions.

  Seeing this, Qin Mo's eyes lit up again, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

  This new skill seems to be quite useful so far.

   "What are you doing..."

  Su Yin's doubtful voice suddenly sounded beside her, and at the same time, she raised her finger, aimed at Qin Mo's head, and knocked.

  However, Qin Mo has not put away his skills at this time.

  Only hearing an ouch, Su Yin withdrew her arm abruptly.

  She rubbed her fingers, her pretty face seemed to have turned into a bitter persimmon, the pain was so painful that she almost burst into tears.

  Qin Mo looked at her in astonishment, removed the Iron Body calmly, and hurriedly asked, "Sister Su, are you alright?"

  Su Yin did not speak, she felt as if she had been knocked on a rock just now...

  The knuckles were already red and seemed to be slightly swollen. She grinned and rubbed for a while, and then she felt better.

   "I said, is your brain made of iron?" Su Yin looked up at Qin Mo with a look of resentment on her face.

   "Ahem, it should be that you, Sister Su, used more strength, and..."

  Qin Mo spread his hands and said, "The skull is the hardest bone in the human body."

"Yeah?"

  Su Yin looked suspicious. She thought that she didn't use much strength just now. Could it be that she used a heavy hand subconsciously?

  She couldn't figure it out, how could a normal person blow his head and swell his fingers?

  But apart from this, there seems to be no other explanation.

  She didn't think about Qin Mo. She had fought like this before, but nothing happened.

  Today is really weird.

  However, it is Qin Mo's fault anyway!

   "Hmph, you're in for a treat tonight."

   "Good good good."

  Qin Mo rubbed his nose and readily agreed, after all, it was his own fault.

   Afterwards, the two continued to walk towards the cafeteria. This was just an episode that happened at night.

  The food in the canteen of the Imperial Hospital is not expensive. Although Su Yin said she asked him to treat him, she didn't even spend a hundred yuan on him.

   After dinner, on the way home, Qin Mo suddenly received a call from Li Mou. Li Mou invited him to go fishing tomorrow afternoon, and the two of them would have another dinner together.

  He thought for a while, confirmed that there was nothing to deal with tomorrow, and agreed immediately.

   So and so, nothing to say all night.

  …

  …

  The next afternoon.

  The two still met at the old place, by the lake in Lingyun District.

  Qin Mo sat on a small stool, holding a fishing rod in his hand, and the warm sun shone directly on his face, providing him with light energy points.

   Li Mou was sitting next to him, and there were several fish in the buckets at their feet.

   Obviously, this afternoon has been fruitful.

  Suddenly, the fishing rod in Qin Mo's hand trembled. This was another unlucky little fish biting the hook.

  He cheered up immediately, took up the line without haste, and quickly caught the fish into the net.

   "Haha, bro, counting this one, I caught a total of six fishes today, just one more than you." Qin Mo said happily.

  Hearing this, Li Mou turned his head, put away his fishing rod, and said, "It's still early, are you interested in playing two games of chess with me?"

   "Play chess? Go or chess?"

   "Of course it's Go."

   "Okay, I happen to know how to play Go."

  Qin Mo readily agreed, and then the two packed up their fishing gear and moved on to the next place.

   After arriving at the chess and card room, he deliberately chose a well-lit place by the window.

   The two guess first, and Qin Mo gets the upper hand.

   "Then I will not be polite."

  He said to Li Mou with a smile, and at the same time, the sunspot in his hand also landed on a corner of the chessboard.

  Actually, Qin Mo doesn't know much about Go, he can only play it, and he is far from being a master.

  But with his current intelligence of 13 points, isn't it just a game of chess?

  Relying on his analytical ability beyond ordinary people and his powerful deduction thinking, Qin Mo couldn't think of any reason for himself to lose.

  So...

   Half an hour later, he lost cleanly.

  Looking at the black and white twins sitting alternately on the chessboard, Qin Mo frowned slightly, scratched his head, and couldn't figure it out.

   "Hahaha, little brother, you are still too young." This time, it was Li Mou's turn to be complacent.

  Looking at Qin Mo's appearance, he smiled slightly and said, "Don't be discouraged, it's pretty good for you to have this level at your age."

   This is a very pertinent compliment, not a comforting word.

   You must know that Li Mou's level in Go has reached the pinnacle, and there are not many opponents in the entire imperial capital.

  Qin Mo was able to fight him for half an hour before deciding the outcome, which has proved how powerful he is, but...

   Li Mou is stronger.

  But this also made him feel more and more that Qin Mo is really an interesting young man.

   After getting along for a short time, the two hit it off very well.

   "Hey, bro, have another dish." Qin Mo said unconvinced.

  Hearing the words, Li Mou nodded, and said lightly: "If that's the case, then I will abuse you again."

   "Brother, don't be too arrogant..."

   Half an hour later, the battle situation came to an end again.

   As expected, Qin Mo lost again.

   Li Mou looked at Qin Mo, who was frowning tightly, and asked with a smile, "How are you? Are you convinced?"

   "Not convinced, you wait for me to go back tonight and look at the chess records."

   "This is not something that can be learned overnight by reading chess records." Li Mou raised the corners of his mouth slightly with a meaningful smile. He then said:

   "Okay, the sun is about to set, let's go eat first."

  Hearing this, Qin Mo raised his head and looked out the window, only to find that the sky had already darkened.

   At the same time, a surge of warmth appeared in his body again.

   "Energy points: 16 (freely assignable

  Today I accumulated 2 points more than yesterday, Qin Mo didn't think much about it, he directly took out 6 points and added it to intelligence.

   "Intelligence: 19, awakening skills: clear at a glance."
