People went to work, and students went to school. The family building was silent.
Lin Zhendong returned home with ease, closed the door, and locked it from the inside.
He immediately took out a metal box and opened it.
A box of gold coins and the skill crystal appeared.
His gaze did not linger on the box of gold coins for even a second. He immediately took out the skill crystal with both hands.
“Tsk tsk, so this is the legendary skill crystal! It’s simply too beautiful! I don’t know what skill is in this skill crystal!” Lin Zhendong looked at the crystal obsessively.
Lin Zhendong seemed to have thought of something and immediately ran around the room in a flurry.
First, Lin Zhendong ran to the bathroom to freshen up and specially washed his hands and face several times.
Then, he used a wet tissue to wipe the skill crystal. He found a new clean towel to wipe the plate clean and placed the crystal in the middle of the plate.
Finally, he pulled out the table and placed it in the middle of the living room. He then placed the fruit biscuits and the skill crystal on top.
Then, Lin Zhendong tidied up his appearance, lit the incense, and kowtowed respectfully. He muttered, “God, please give me the best wood elemental skill!”
After praying, Lin Zhendong picked up the skill crystal with trembling hands.
It was impossible not to be nervous. Lin Zhendong, the Treasure-Hunting Mouse, had always returned with a harvest.
He had eaten at least twenty of those random heavenly treasures.
However, there were no skills.
Lin Zhendong did not have any skills, not even a cultivation technique.
On the other hand, he cultivated the two main elements of [body technique] and [spiritual] quite well.
However, what was the use of this? He would only be a punching bag without any attack or support skills.
It wasn’t that Lin Zhendong didn’t want to learn cultivation techniques.
It was expensive! Then, he had to spend a lot of energy, time, and resources to cultivate.
What was the student’s mission? Upgrade! Elementary school to junior high school! Junior high school to high school, high school to university!
If one didn’t complete these leveling goals, their future would be gloomy. Of course, no matter if one failed or succeeded, one could still learn the cultivation technique.
One had to know that only university students or people with jobs could learn cultivation techniques!
So as a student, how could Lin Zhendong waste his time on cultivation techniques? He would probably be beaten to death by his parents and teachers!
The only possibility for a student to have a skill was through a skill crystal or a heavenly treasure.
He didn’t even dare to think about the skill crystals. There was a shortage of skill crystals for the demand. Not many people sold it, and he couldn’t afford it either.
It seemed like Lin Zhendong could only achieve his goal by picking up scraps from the Special Protection Department.
However, Lin Zhendong’s face darkened. Ordinary people could not even see a single heavenly treasure. He had eaten more than 20 of them but did not obtain any skills.
He couldn’t blame anyone for his bad luck.
Now that a skill crystal of second-class lair had fallen into his hands, it would be strange if he wasn’t nervous.
Just as Lin Zhendong was about to place the crystal between his eyebrows, his expression suddenly changed. He quickly put down his hand and disturbed the chip in his brain.
“Don’t tell me you want half this time too? Let me tell you, you took half of the treasures before. I ate over 20 of them and still didn’t get any skills!”
“Forget about it. This is not a heavenly treasure! You will not get half of it!”
“Otherwise, I’ll die with you!”
Lin Zhendong fiercely warned the chip in his head. Although the chip did not respond, Lin Zhendong felt slightly relieved.
Only then did he place the crystal between his eyebrows.
Then, the seemingly hard crystal began to soften. When Lin Zhendong let go of it, it stuck to his forehead.
Lin Zhendong sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to sense.
The crystal became softer and softer until it finally turned into a puddle of liquid and stuck to Lin Zhendong’s glabella.
Then, as if there was a hole between his eyebrows, it slowly absorbed the liquid.
The liquid slowly decreased and finally disappeared.
Lin Zhendong continued to meditate.
Finally, he opened his eyes, his face full of excitement. “Tsk, I’ve activated the [Wood Elemental Shadow] skill. The name of this skill is strange, but it’s indeed a wood-type skill. It has wood in its name.”
“Looks like my face isn’t dark, but that’s normal. The skill crystal has a 90% chance of producing a monster skill.”
“Well, let’s see what kind of skill this Wood Elemental Shadow is. It would be great if it’s a shadow skill like Sister Su Yan’s.” Lin Zhendong licked his lips and quickly moved the things in the living room to the side to make the living room empty.
Then, he stood up straight, took a deep breath, and began to use the skill according to the method transmitted by the skill crystal.
“Wood Element Shadow!” he shouted.
As Lin Zhendong looked on expectantly, a ball of black flames wrapped around his palm. The black flames crackled and swayed.
Lin Zhendong was stunned. His eyes were filled with confusion and shock as he looked at the flames wrapped around his palm.
“This is Wood Elemental Shadow? What kind of joke is this? It clearly has nothing to do with the wood or the shadow elements! Could it be the 10% chance of the skill crystal’s mutation, and I’m just unlucky enough to encounter it?” Lin Zhendong’s face was filled with disbelief.
“Didn’t they say the skill crystal was dug out by the lair boss of the wood-type second-class lair? No matter how ridiculous it is, it should be a wood elemental skill! What the hell is this!”
“Moreover, this thing looks completely different from the name of the skill! The name should be [Black Flame] instead of [Wood Elemental Shadow], right?” Lin Zhendong was still in a dilemma.
Once a person absorbed a skill crystal, not only would the person automatically learn it, but it would also impart the name of the skill and the method to use it.
As for the power and effect of the skill, that would have to be explored by the user.
“[Wood Elemental Shadow]… That’s the name, but isn’t this black flame? Is this black flame a shadow?” Lin Zhendong did not give up. He raised his hand in front of his eyes to check.
“It’s not hot at all. Is it not a flame?” Lin Zhendong muttered, and an unpleasant smell was emitted. The black flames vaporized his drooping hair.
“F*ck!” Lin Zhendong was so frightened that he flung his hand outwards.
The ball of flame that was wrapped around his palm was thrown out and landed on the sofa.
“No!” Lin Zhendong shouted subconsciously.
However, the scene of the sofa being burned by the black flames didn’t happen.
The ball of flame continued to stick to the spot where the sofa had landed and continued to shake. The spot where the black flame had stuck to the sofa was safe and sound.
“Eh? What was going on? I didn’t burn? Then how did my hair get burned?” Lin Zhendong touched his hair. He could feel part of his hair that had been burned off.
“Don’t tell me it only burns living things?” Lin Zhendong muttered in confusion. Just as he had the thought of burning his brain, smoke started to rise from the sofa to where the black flame was attached to.
In an instant, a red flame ignited. In a second, a large basin of fire burned on the sofa.
“F*ck! Quickly extinguish it!” Lin Zhendong hurriedly shouted.
Then, he could see the black flame within the red flame extinguished with a bang.
However, the red flame was even stronger. The entire sofa was on fire, and the flames spread to other places.
Thick smoke billowed, and the fire alarm bell naturally rang out desperately.
“This is bad!” Lin Zhendong slapped his forehead and rushed to the bathroom.
