Chapter 24: Skill Barbaric Explosion (Second Update) Seeking Red Tickets and Bookmarks

  He walked up to the corpse of the Steel Violent Mouse and saw a skill book shining with a faint light. Liang Jing was overjoyed, not expecting that the drop would be a skill book; after all, skill books had always been extremely rare, and what he lacked most right now were skills, especially attack skills.

  This issue has been plaguing Liang Jing for some time, well, or rather, Liang Jing's skills are actually very scarce, whether it's assistance or attack, but because of constantly encountering strong opponents, the weapon in hand is not powerful enough, and there is a lack of skills that can pose a great threat to the opponent, so attack-type skills seem to be in urgent need.

  Savage Outburst!

  It was actually the Steel Beast's innate skill, and he didn't expect it to suddenly burst out. Liang Jing's heart skipped a beat with excitement, thinking that with this skill, at the right moment, he could suddenly burst forth and destroy his opponent with his own abilities. Just like before, if Liang Jing's physical strength hadn't been constantly improving, the Steel Beast would have been able to kill him with its powerful attacks and obtain its life source. The Steel Beast also had the ability to heal itself from the inside out. If it weren't for the fact that Liang Jing had a Golden-level skill called "Violent Throw" which shot out 40mm steel balls, allowing him to counterattack the Steel Beast, the outcome might have been different. After all, there was still a significant gap between Liang Jing and the Steel Beast, but it just so happened that Liang Jing's weapon wasn't very powerful, making the difference seem smaller than it actually was. The "Wild Burst" skill suddenly increased his speed by several times, and his physical strength also greatly increased. If two opponents with similar abilities were fighting each other, one side could use this skill to suddenly turn the tables; even if they were weaker than their opponent, they could still use the sudden increase in speed to escape.

  "Savage Surge: Instantly burst out with a large increase in potential quantity and speed, violently charging or fleeing. Learning Condition: Physique 10."

  Looking at the blue skill book in his hand, this was a blue-level skill book, only one level lower than the gold-level skill book. Although the Steel Violent Mouse didn't explode with other good things, Liang Jing was very satisfied. This skill was tailor-made for him, and when he fought against Hei Yiwu at that time, if he had [Wild Explosion], he would have been able to attack his opponent before they escaped with stealth. Just a moment was enough to change everything, and even in the midst of a skill collision, he could directly knock his opponent into a severe injury, or even kill them...

  Without hesitation, he slapped his hands together and studied the skill book. In Ling Qinghe's unawareness, the blue skill book transformed into a light halo that entered Liang Jing's mind, instantly generating a mysterious symbol in his sea of consciousness. The symbol was like a wild beast's body, emitting an explosive aura - it was the skill symbol of "Wild Explosion". Watching this transformation take shape, Liang Jing couldn't help but want to try it out, but seeing the sky and Ling Qinghe's slightly strange and anxious expression, he gave up on the tempting idea.

  Savage Surge: Instantly burst forth with latent potential, increasing movement speed by 50%. Frenzied charge or escape; Initial 0%.

  Unable to experiment with heart skills immediately, not disturbing the excitement in Liang Jing's heart, just like when he was a child, his mother used her own thin body on the construction site to carry poles and do small jobs to earn money to buy him a bicycle, even if he hadn't learned yet, he couldn't help but push it out to the sun-drenched threshing ground to ride around.

  It wasn't until now that Liang Jing suddenly discovered many problems. After the "system" and reality merged, it seemed like many things that were normal and insignificant in the game had a huge impact in reality. For example, skill levels such as white, green, blue, and gold. In fact, the green skill "Necromancy" was very useful now, with a strong effect, and even in Liang Jing's mind, it was more important than the gold-level skill "Violent Throw". In this real world full of danger and uncertainty, having an absolutely loyal and obedient "follower" really reduced Liang Jing's mental stress. At least when he slept or rested, he could feel at ease, as long as he gave a single command: to automatically attack any life form that approached him while he was resting, and to let out a roar to alert him. Just thinking about it made him feel how comfortable this was, even if he couldn't completely let his guard down, but it did reduce his mental stress significantly.

  To know that even ordinary people, let alone Liang Jing, are under immense pressure to survive in this world. The stronger one's abilities, the more they see and understand, the more terrifying the world becomes, filling them with reverence. If this continues without change or release, Liang Jing fears he will eventually go mad and collapse. Ordinary people only know that mutated monsters represent terror and mortality, with no distinction between their strength. They only face life and death, blindly following the strong. They won't think about how mutated monsters are becoming more numerous, stronger, and wiser by the day, or what this world will become in the future, or what to do when the time comes. Wave after wave of thoughts accompanied by heavy pressure come crashing down.

  After successfully enslaving the Black-backed Hound (Zombie), Liang Jing felt a great deal of relief in an instant. In Liang Jing's heart, this was much more important than the gold-level 【Violent Throw】. This is also what Liang Jing is considering now - the levels distinguished in the game cannot be used to judge people's views in reality; skills have no high or low, only suitable ones are the best.

  This skill is one of the most suitable skills for oneself at present, and it is an urgent need.

  Another issue is that it seems like there's no restriction on learning skills now, and the "Wild Explosion" skill had a requirement of 10 physical strength, but it didn't seem to have any limit on the number of skills that can be learned. In the past, when learning skills in games, you could learn them freely as long as you met the conditions, but the number of skills you could learn was limited by your level; in reality, there's no leveling system, so does that mean that as long as you have a skill book and meet the conditions to learn the skill, you can just learn it and turn it into a symbol in your mind?

  Liang Jing's eyes suddenly lit up, wondering if his own cognitive sea was the limit. If the space within his cognitive sea was filled with skill runes, would he no longer be able to learn? Liang Jing thought it was possible, but shook his head and didn't think about it anymore. His cognitive sea had been expanding along with his growing strength, and so far, he hadn't encountered any problems with insufficient space. At least for now, Liang Jing still felt that he had too few skills, and his cognitive sea was empty.

  Blindly thinking about it, there's no reason why, Liang Jing doesn't plan to get bogged down in details anymore, wait until more skills are acquired and then take another look, practice is the sole criterion for testing truth.

  "Liang Jing, are you okay? Were you injured just now?" Ling Qinghe saw Liang Jing making strange movements again, shaking his head and swaying back and forth, thinking that he was injured in the battle with the monster, looking tense.

  Liang Jing's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she felt a bit surprised at the other person's title. It wasn't what they had been calling him before - "Old Big". Her voice was light as she said, "I'm fine, you wait for me to deal with this monster first, then I'll go find Zhang Hu."

  Liang Jing's hands moved swiftly and skillfully as he dissected the corpse of the Steel Brutal Mouse, making crisp cutting sounds... Under Liang Jing's control, the short knife continuously cut through the thick fur of the Steel Brutal Mouse, producing a sharp scraping sound, but with great effect. His eyebrows furrowed, looking at the short knife in his hand, he became even more expectant of [Baroque's Sorrow]...

  Sigh...

  After a long time, Liang Jing finally cut and sorted out the entire skin of the Steel Violent Mouse. Then, from the skull of the Steel Violent Mouse that had already been cracked open by steel beads, he dug out a black bead, which was the energy core of the Steel Violent Mouse.

  The pearl is only two centimeters in size, round, black and shiny, and it's even half the size of the golden BOSS Baroque energy crystal core, which is bigger than that of the red-haired thorn fly.

  "Let's go, find Zhang Hu Ke and the others. We need to find a place to spend the night." He tidied up the steel mouse's black, shiny fur and crystal core, and finally put away its ten-centimeter-long claws and teeth. As for other things, Liang Jing didn't plan on taking them, and to be honest, he wasn't too fond of rat meat, especially after it had been soaked in blood.
