Qin Fang's achievements were not built on his original strength but depended on his mysterious and unpredictable skills, which is why the acquisition of each skill filled him with anticipation.

The acquisition of skills had always been through two pathways, self-realization or upgrading to receive them.

But now, Qin Fang had discovered a third route—monster loot drops.

This time, the Skill Book was such a case, unexpectedly dropped by the Golden Crested Snake, which made Qin Fang feel refreshed and incredibly incredulous, as well as filled with endless anticipation.

"Tough Skin Technique!"

However, when Qin Fang saw the three characters on the cover of the Skill Book, he couldn't help but have a dark expression cross his face, although he quickly came to terms with it.

The Tough Skin Technique was not unfamiliar to Qin Fang; it was an advanced skill of the Strong Body Technique, which had a certain chance of being obtained while using the latter.

Qin Fang's Strong Body Technique was already over 20%, but he still hadn't touched upon the Tough Skin Technique, so it was really unexpected that it would be handed to him like this.

This was too coincidental; Qin Fang vaguely felt like perhaps the System, seeing how hard he worked, sent him a little surprise.

Of course, whether it was a surprise or not, Qin Fang would never refuse an additional skill.

Without a second word, he patted the Skill Book and immediately began to learn it, and thus Qin Fang had acquired the Tough Skin Technique, a passive skill that enhanced defense.

The earlier items had made Qin Fang quite happy and were also the most understandable for him, as it was not the first time something like this had happened, making it more acceptable.

However, following prompts became a bit chaotic, and Qin Fang hadn't caught them clearly, so he could only check each item that he had received, one Props Box at a time.

Among them, one Props Box contained an additional spherical object that immediately captured almost all of Qin Fang's attention.

With a thought, Qin Fang had already focused all his mind on the spherical object, but he didn't expect to be so startled once he took a closer look.

What the heck? A Pet Egg?

Qin Fang suddenly felt a bit dumbfounded. Despite having witnessed many strange things after obtaining his mysterious superpower, he had played games for a long time and was accustomed to oddities.

But this time, he was genuinely stunned; even a Pet Egg, something that should not exist in the real world, had appeared.

Without a doubt, the Pet Egg of the Golden Crested Snake would also be a Golden Crested Snake.

Keeping a snake as a pet?

Qin Fang didn't feel he had such a hobby.

He was surrounded by many girls, and the Golden Crested Snake was definitely a ferocious creature. Just its venom alone was indication enough—nearly as lethal as cyanide, a mere touch could end a life instantly.

This was not a regular pet snake; it was a true assassin.

Of course, Qin Fang could not possibly treat this Pet Egg as if it were trash to be discarded, not to mention how terrifying it would become upon maturity. As Qin Fang's spoils of battle, it couldn't be simply thrown away,

Furthermore, now that the Pet Egg had appeared, would the serpent inside behave as obediently as pets do in games?

Qin Fang's thoughts began to stir, but for the time being, he dared not attempt anything.

Compared to the aforementioned items, what took up the most space in Qin Fang's Props Box were various materials, almost all parts of the Golden Crested Snake's body, including the most critical and valuable parts. It could be said that Qin Fang had entirely stripped the snake, while Scarface and his crew were still assessing the now less valuable giant serpent.

To Qin Fang's surprise, these materials weren't worthless; they were precious.

Snake Eye and Snake Gallbladder were medicinal components that were extremely rare and typically unavailable for purchase.

As for which potions these ingredients could be used in, that was quite fortunate; apart from these, Qin Fang's Props Box also contained a relevant recipe.

Using his Scouting Skill for reconnaissance, Qin Fang quickly obtained the results. This single recipe was for the Detoxification Pill, the making of which had eluded him just earlier.

The materials he had acquired indeed included those mentioned for this potion, as if they were specifically prepared for the recipe.

"Recipe: Detoxification Pill, Ingredients: Snake Gallbladder, Snake Eye..."

"Detoxification Pill, a potion capable of neutralizing toxins. The efficacy of a Detoxification Pill is closely linked to the level of Pharmacopeia skills."

Looking at such a recipe, Qin Fang felt particularly vexed; the listed ingredients were quite common and could almost be found among the items dropped by the Golden Crested Snake.

If he had acquired this recipe earlier, perhaps he wouldn't have had to risk poisoning himself by sucking out the blood to save Wen Yan. He could have simply concocted a Detoxification Pill on the spot, effortlessly neutralizing the potent poison, thus avoiding the fright they had experienced.

Of course, all this seemed like fate.

The effect of the Detoxification Pill and the level of Pharmacopeia skills were interconnected; without using the venom from the snake's crest to eliminate Wen Yan's toxins, Qin Fang couldn't have grasped such a rare skill as Pharmacopeia.

And without the skill of Pharmacopeia, even if Qin Fang had acquired a pharmacy, it would be useless, as he wouldn't know how to create potions. He couldn't just mix a few ingredients together, crush them into powder, and expect that to neutralize the poison for Wen Yan?

Thus, it seemed as though what had happened was providence, yet the outcome was ultimately a comedy, allowing Qin Fang to weather the storm with barely any risk and emerging with a bountiful harvest.
