Chapter 2 Abilities
As the white light entered his body, it continued to spread throughout Liang Jing's body. He felt a warm and comfortable sensation all over, as if he wanted to moan, as if the light was nourishing his body. Every cell in his body seemed to be devouring the spreading white light like parched earth absorbing rainwater, becoming more plump, moist and powerful. Moreover, some minor ailments that had accumulated in his body over the past twenty years were also dissolved by this warm white light, turning into tiny black rotting substances that were excreted from his pores.
For a moment, my body felt better than it ever had before. It was as if I had just been born and everything was brand new. My senses of smell, touch, sight, hearing, and taste were all heightened to an incredible degree.
The whole person underwent a sharp change under the effect of two clusters of white spiritual light, with a bit of a refreshing and cleansing feeling.
Liang Jing's face was flushed with excitement, the effect of the two white lights entering his body earlier was too mysterious, and he couldn't help but think that the white light flying out from the two mutated mosquitoes that were killed seemed similar to the experience points gained from killing monsters in a game, and it looked exactly like the game screen when Liang Jing reinstalled the client before.
Liang Jing was stunned, pinched her thigh, and it hurt! She looked around the room, yes, it was still the same Clearwater Bay on the old earth and inside her rental house. This wasn't a dream, what had happened to this world? Liang Jing couldn't help but wonder even more.
Liang Jing is also a veteran internet user, online games are one of her hobbies, having browsed the web for so long, she has fantasized about it herself and can accept it, even more bizarre and absurd variations have been imagined.
It's just a return, fantasy returns to fantasy, after all it's not reality, it didn't happen to oneself. But now one has really been hit, and for the time being can't accept it. This world has become both familiar and strange, with various questions filling one's heart about what happened.
However, Liang Jing is not a person who gets bogged down in details. If he can't figure something out, he'll just put it aside for now. As long as he knows this is the reality, then that's a good thing. At least when facing those mutated monsters outside, he'll have some means of fighting back.
I'm just not sure if it's a global gamification where everyone can kill monsters to get strengthened by the white light, or if I'm the only one who has mutated and possesses this special ability.
Thinking that if this special ability is only possessed by oneself, then...
Thinking of Liang Jing, his breathing quickened, and looking at the half-meter-long small knife and copper plate on the bed, he knew what it meant!
But thinking about it again, I felt discouraged and silently told myself that this was impossible. You can't be the protagonist if you restart, this must be the same for everyone, maybe the whole world has gamified now.
To be honest, in Liang Jing's mind, he never wanted to do it. After obtaining the divine secret book for himself, he would leave it for someone with a good fate. What he wanted to do was study and remember it for himself, and then resolutely destroy it without hesitation, turning it into ashes.
Maybe in the future I'll have a chance to find someone who likes it and pass it on, but it's not as good as enjoying it myself, if I enjoy it enough, I can also share it with others, hehe.
Although such thoughts must be criticized by others, Liang Jing doesn't care. With so many rich second-generation kids deceiving their parents nowadays, why not distribute some of the wealth to those in need? In a world with so many poor and seriously ill people, why don't we see more people donating money, blood, or organs? If those self-proclaimed moralists were truly genuine, then this world would be a better place tomorrow. At least it wouldn't be as bad as it is now.
But even if there were many truly moral people, Liang Jing would not feel guilty or change because he is so selfish!
In his opinion, everyone's mouth is on their own body and can be used as they please, but before criticizing others, one should think about whether they themselves are also such a person. If oneself is also selfish, why bother to insult and attack others casually? After all, others don't owe you anything, this is even more disgusting than a prostitute standing in front of a brothel.
Of course, if one is well-fed and warmly dressed, Liang Jing still doesn't mind giving others a piece of bread, this is the most basic kind-heartedness, unchanged!
Standing still at the bedside for a while, Liang Jing needed some time to digest the impact of this matter.
Gradually, Liang Jing became excited and agitated. Just now, he was still frightened by the miserable situation outside and the monstrous ferocity, but now he threw away his fears because he saw hope, saw the future and light. What people fear most is losing the numbness of hope!
Liang Jing, 26 years old, has been running for three years, unmarried, and used to be a butcher in his hometown. Due to the disaster, he had to go out to work and came to Qing Shui Bay, K City, Jiangnan Province. The hardships of life have brought him many setbacks, but he has never given up.
Just like buying lottery tickets, from small to big, he has picked up money three times, the largest denomination is 5 yuan. No matter what kind of lottery ticket he buys, he has only won twice, and it was also a scratch-off with a maximum denomination of 5 yuan. But for the Double Color Ball, he has been buying non-stop, each time only buying two sets, one set random, one set fixed numbers that never change, that's his hope, Liang Jing doesn't believe in luck being absent forever, buying until old age can win once.
Even if reality is really frustrating, and can't even stay at home, being driven out by others, he still hasn't become numb, complaining and venting to reduce the distress in his heart.
Now he can't help but be excited and motivated, having the ability to get returns as long as he works hard, whether it's for everyone or just himself. What he fears most is that his efforts are in vain and unrewarded. He never believed that he was inferior to others, and he had a proud heart!
This special ability will change the whole world.
Half a moment later, Liang Jing finally suppressed his excitement and came back to himself.
"Haha, the heavens have finally opened their eyes, you've finally let me find a key..." Liang Jing said in a low, suppressed voice, speaking to the sky in an eerie tone.
Perhaps it was the outburst of long-term repression, and despite being subjected to various blows and oppression all along, he had never given in. Now he finally saw hope, and his eyes became moist. He had too much heartache, but it was all buried in his heart.
Stand up, clench fists and kick legs, feeling more agile and powerful than before. Can't help but secretly fall in love with myself, now strengthened by the white light, probably not inferior to those WWE wrestling stars.
Height 1.78, weight nearly 80KG, strong physique without the bloatedness of a muscle man, although not learned in Huaxia national martial arts (traditional martial arts), but from childhood training and not often soaking in medicinal baths, tempered body is much stronger than ordinary people, let alone after being strengthened by white spiritual light and healing some physical hidden injuries.
Standing in front of the half-length mirror "borrowed" from the landlord, she made a gesture and found that her skin had become much whiter, with a somewhat ordinary face but still quite good-looking.
"Short Sword: Quality: White, Sharpness: 3, Durability: 5, Weight: 6, Equipment Requirement: Strength; 1."
Equipment levels are divided into white ordinary, blue elite, green excellent, gold inheritance and so on; the equipment requirement of strength 1 refers to the size of an adult male's strength on Earth.
Liang Jing grasped the 3kg short knife in his hand, about half a meter long, with a thick back, somewhat like a mountain-opening knife, but compared to a mountain-opening knife, the angle between the knife tip and blade is much smaller, making it look even sharper, more suitable for stabbing. The silver-white blade shone brightly, the cold light flashing on the blade made it seem incredibly sharp. When his fingers rubbed against the blade, he could clearly feel the rough friction of his fingerprints on the blade, feeling much sharper than the knives he normally used.
"Waaa... Ahh!"
It feels great to hold it in your hand and swing it down, with a very powerful and forceful look. With a sudden burst of energy throughout the body, one slash can cut through the wooden table leg as thick as an arm, and the broken end is neat and smooth, which can bring out the physical strength.
Liang Jing even took out a stainless steel kitchen knife that he rarely used and held one in each hand, left and right, to chop.
Crunch...
The thin stainless steel knife was cut off directly, and the port was not smooth, but it can be seen that the quality of the system is indeed not ordinary, sharp and hard.
He couldn't help but stroke it on the blade, this was his survival guarantee, and his life-and-death partner for a while afterwards, he was very satisfied with that.
The standard weapons of ancient soldiers were about 4 to 8 catties, of course, this refers to ordinary soldiers, excluding some special troops, such as heavy cavalry and so on, not to mention the weapons used by generals.
I have a weapon now, I should probably look for food storage next. Yeah, and also grind some monsters to strengthen myself! Alright, this is totally not what I'm supposed to be doing.
Looking at the remaining yellowish copper plate on the bed, I picked it up with the thought that it couldn't be wasted.
"Get a copper coin"
Suddenly, 8 squares appeared out of nowhere in my mind, and below them was a set of data: Gold coins: 0, Silver coins: 0, Copper coins: 1.
Is this an item bar? The item bar that appears in the game?
The style is exactly the same, but it seems to be 8*8 with a total of 64 grids. Another question, if I couldn't figure it out, I wouldn't think about it anymore, wasting time and brain cells.
Although 8 slots are a bit less, Liang Jing's heart is still more joyful than lost. After all, with the item bar of 8 storage slots, it will definitely be more convenient to act in the future. One should learn to be content, knowing satisfaction leads to happiness.
At the same time, I also thought that this special ability on my body seems to have many mysterious aspects. Later, when I have time, I will try more and see if I can dig out more benefits.
Holding the book in his hand, he tried to focus his mind and move it. The book in his hand had disappeared and appeared in the storage grid of the item bar. Liang Jing was overjoyed, as long as he could store real objects, that would be great.
Finally, he also opened a pack of toothpicks and stored them one by one in the storage grid cells inside the item bar. One cell can overlap and store 999 toothpicks, perfect! Just like in previous games.
Invincible! It's really invincible! Looking at the interface of the item bar, Liang Jing couldn't help but get excited again. A divine artifact! This incomplete item bar with only 8 storage slots is an absolute divine artifact, and its effect is even more immeasurable no matter when it is used.
As long as roughly the same type of item can be stacked up to 999 in the inventory, just think about it, carrying around 999 packs of rice, 999 packs of sausages and so on, without being overweight or affecting physical freedom, this will increase production and life assistance by a large margin.
Finally, Liang Jing put all the necessary items in the house into her inventory as much as possible, such as stainless steel pots, mosquito nets, blankets and quilts, which were all collected. She would replace them with better ones later when she had more.
