“No fucking way! I just said I needed an appraisal skill, and bam, here’s a piece of gear with one attached?”Wu Chi’s eyes bulged. He started seriously considering if he should try saying “I wish I had a drop-dead gorgeous celestial wife” next time.Not that he cared that much about looks, mind you—Wu Chi was just really, really keen on having a powerhouse fairy on his team.After mulling it over, he slipped on the 【Lens of Truth】 and pulled out the 【Eight Extremities Fist】 skill book.【Eight Extremities Fist】Quality: White (Common)Description: Learn the Chinese Martial Art — Eight Extremities Fist.“Chinese martial arts, huh? Not bad for a starter pack,” Wu Chi nodded thoughtfully.In this grand era, traditional martial arts were just a tiny ripple in the vast ocean of power systems.They might not be top-tier later on, but for the early game? Solid choice.But here’s the thing... it wasn’t really his style.Eight Extremities Fist was known for its brutal, overwhelming force—totally unsuited for a refined humble gentleman like himself.On the other hand, it was perfect for someone with the strength to uproot mountains... like Sister Lin!Sure, Sister Lin looked delicate and fragile, but in reality, her fists could probably paste a hundred Wu Chis without breaking a sweat.The mental image of those fair, jade-like porcelain fist launching a gorilla into orbit. A shiver ran down his spine.He turned and went to find Lin Daiyu.She was resting inside the small hut. When she heard Wu Chi’s intention, her lovely face filled with astonishment.She didn’t know what “Chinese martial arts” or “Eight Extremities Fist” were, but if it was a skill book, it was undoubtedly a combat technique.Lin Daiyu didn’t doubt Wu Chi’s good intentions, but a faint blush rose on her cheeks.“Young Master, skill books are far too precious. This humble servant sees that you yourself lack skills, perhaps you should learn it instead?”“Waste? Nah. You’ve got the stats to make it matter.” He gestured to her 200 Constitution.“If it were me, I’d hit like a wet noodle...”Lin Daiyu hesitated, a flicker of genuine emotion in her eyes before she accepted the skill book.“Then... this humble servant will obey the Young Master.”As soon as she finished speaking, she opened the skill book.It instantly transformed into a stream of light and flowed into her mind.Lin Daiyu closed her eyes, contemplating for a moment before opening them again with a look of understanding.“So that’s how it is.”【Lin Daiyu】 — Hero Status PanelSkills: 【Eight Extremities Fist】 (Lv.1)【Eight Extremities Fist】Level: 1 (0/100)Quality: WhiteDamage:5 + 10% CON10 + 15% CON15 + 20% CON...40 + 45% CONDescription: Learn the ancient martial art of smashing faces. No subtlety, all pain!Skills could be leveled up directly using Void Essence Stones, or improved through combat and training.The Eight Extremities Fist had eight moves, with a base damage plus a scaling damage based on a percentage of her Constitution.The later the move in the sequence, the higher the damage!“This 【Eight Extremities Fist】 suits you perfectly!” Wu Chi nodded.Even though it was just a common White-grade skill, in Wu Chi’s hands it would rely mostly on the low base damage.But in Lin Daiyu’s hands—with her monstrous 200 Constitution—the difference would be like night and day.Comparing their fists was like comparing a squirt gun to a sniper rifle.“With this new skill, this humble servant can better assist the Young Master in repelling enemies,”Lin Daiyu said with a sweet smile, clearly pleased.A hint of fighting spirit flashed across her face, her small fist clenching tightly as if eager to try out her new skill.Seeing this, Wu Chi, terrified she might accidentally demolish their home, hurriedly said,“Today’s monster wave is already over. Let’s wait until tomorrow to test it.”“This humble servant understands,”Lin Daiyu replied, her eyes sparkling as if she saw right through his worry, a faint smile playing on her lips.Day 4 of the “Newbie Trial” — 3 PMWu Chi had been pacing around the territory, counting up his Void Crystals and Void Essence Stones.The saying goes: “Use good steel to make the blade’s edge.”When your resources are limited, you don’t waste them!Having paid attention in those high school strategy classes, Wu Chi knew how to allocate resources efficiently.“Money in hand, heart at ease,” Wu Chi thought contentedly.Just then, there was a knock on the hut door.Lin Daiyu’s gentle voice came from outside.“Young Master, the monster invasion is here.”“It’s starting already?” Wu Chi rushed out.By the door, Lin Daiyu gestured towards three different directions.Wu Chi looked out and his eyes widened—shadows were emerging from the mist from three separate sides!“Only the fourth day, and the numbers are spiking already? And from multiple directions?!""The towers won’t be able to handle everything!”A thought flashed through Wu Chi’s mind, ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) but he didn’t panic.After a moment’s consideration, he put on the 【Lens of Truth】.Once the monsters emerged clearly from the mist, he targeted one at random and used Appraisal!Appraisal Successful!Charges Remaining: 9/10【Elite · Dark Hunter】Race: Demon / VoidLevel: 5Constitution: 17Spirit: 4Skills: 【Quick Attack】, 【Spear Throw】Description: Once a worldbreaker, now a Void hound.
