The King of Black Fog

Chapter 212: Replace Skill_2


[Name: Stepping in the Air]

[Type: Skill]

[Quality: B]

[Special Effect: Running in the sky]

[Minimum Use Conditions: Constitution 10]

[Introduction: Must walk or run in the sky, consuming three times the physical strength; standing still will result in falling]

[Note: The sky is also a prairie]

Physical strength and 'ability' are not the same, but they affect each other.

When physical strength falls to a certain value, it will affect the performance of 'ability,' and when 'ability' is reduced, physical strength will directly decrease.

Li Changzhou usually relies on his invincible physical strength, for an average player, to fight, seldom using skills that consume 'ability.'

"I'll learn this one," Li Changzhou said.

Yang Qinglan nodded slowly, understanding his meaning, leaving 'Freeze' for her.

[Name: Fiery Flame Body]

[Type: Skill]

[Quality: B]

[Special Effect: Covering the body surface with flames]

[Minimum Use Conditions: Constitution 8]

[Introduction: 1. Flame clone bomb; 2. Some basic fire element usage techniques; 3. Consumption of 'ability' and 'physical strength' based on the amount of fire used]

[Note: If you're a skeleton, you can be considered for the role in "Ghost Rider 3," if a vehicle ignition is part of your package, and if Columbia Pictures has plans for shooting the third installment.]

"This one is definitely for Qian Xia (this one's for Qian Xia)," both of them said at the same time.

Both laughed for a moment, pleased with their tacit understanding and similar views of Li Qianxia.

The walrus's skills are awesome, but they all require a lot of fat; isn't that looking down on the skinny folks?

Many players must be frustrated when facing certain skills because of not having enough charm—whether too high or too low, some skills require a terrifyingly low charm.

Intelligence is also very important.

Yang Qinglan replaced the skill she had learned, 'Call the Wind and Rain,' with 'Freeze.'

"Huh?" she uttered, puzzled.

"What's wrong?" Li Changzhou asked hurriedly.

"It's still B-grade."

When Black Mist gives skills to others, the skills are downgraded by one level. The original B-grade 'Freeze' should have become C-grade when it reached Yang Qinglan.

"Did Black Mist evolve?" Li Changzhou guessed, looking towards the humanoid Black Mist.

"Maybe it's because of my research on 'Call the Wind and Rain' that 'Freeze' was upgraded," Yang Qinglan mused.

She suddenly looked up.

A cloud quickly gathered above the research institute, and the sky, still flush with twilight, darkened instantly.

A whistling gale blew, and a downpour began, turning the sultry weather cold and biting in an instant.

"'Call the Wind and Rain' upgraded too?" Li Changzhou knew the original power of 'Call the Wind and Rain.'

"Yeah," Yang Qinglan's eyes sparkled with confidence and subtle joy, " 'Freeze' and 'Call the Wind and Rain' complement each other."

"But mostly it's you who are amazing," he said.

"Hmm— sort of, but you deserve some credit too," Yang Qinglan chuckled, stowing away 'Call the Wind and Rain.'

"What happened?! What happened?!" Li Qianxia and Bi came running out, looking around anxiously.

The recent 'Call the Wind and Rain' amounted to a small-scale weather change, covering the entire courtyard of the institute. Had it occurred in ancient times, it would have qualified as the work of a 'Master of Rain' and in modern times comparable to an 'Agricultural · Sprinkling Drone'

Of course, the 'Call the Wind and Rain' skill upgraded to B-grade is certainly not just that.

The temperatures would be colder, the winds stronger, the rain heavier, and Yang Qinglan should even be able to move the clouds to achieve targeted rainfall.

But as for the current stage of the game, how useful it is... it's probably only against some fire element skills, but now Yang Qinglan had fully mastered it, no longer occupying a skill slot.

Li Changzhou hesitated, then also switched out the 'Attribute Mask' for 'Stepping in the Air.'

As his strength increased, the necessity to hide his identity gradually decreased.

If things really went south, he could just take Yang Qinglan and Li Qianxia to the Moon or Mars. If the distance was too far, they could go to the ocean floor to build a Crystal Palace and become the Dragon King of the Four Seas.

"Bro, what happened?" Li Qianxia and Bi joined them on the roof.

"Nothing," Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan stood up.

"Weren't you guys going to the bathroom?" Bi teased.

"Done," Li Changzhou said, "Alright, let's go, it's time to complete the mission."

The forest not far ahead cast a dark silhouette under the last glows of the setting sun.

"Where should we look for it? Maybe Edison went to New York to find that so-called Prince Morgan," Li Qianxia said.

"No," Yang Qinglan said, "he's hiding in the nearby cemetery."

"How do you know?" Bi asked subconsciously.

"After the fight ended last night, I sent Shadow Cat to track Edison and the werewolves' traces, and I just got the confirmation."

"I really thought you just slept during the day, Qing Lan!" Li Qianxia said with surprise and admiration, "Why didn't you tell us earlier?"

"When Zhuge Liang gave Zhao Zilong the brocade bag, did he tell him what was inside it?"

"...Brother, look at her, she's so arrogant!"

"Prime Minister," Li Changzhou saluted Yang Qinglan with clasped hands, "Li Qianxia is ungrateful and commits insubordination, how should we deal with her?"

"Bestow white silk." Yang Qinglan said with a tone both indifferent and nonchalant, decisive and sharp.

"Yes!"

"Wow, brother, do you have to be so servile?"

"Servile? How could that be? I'm simply Miss Yang's dog."

"That's already pretty twisted!"

"What are you talking about?" Bi interrupted impatiently. The child couldn't stand topics she didn't understand; everyone had to accommodate her.

"Let's go." Li Changzhou also timely ended the 'is he twisted enough' topic.

With a flick of Bi's finger, a coffin-like object burst through the wall, zoomed into the research institute like a train carriage, and hovered like an airship in front of the four.

Bi took the lead, assuming the posture of a captain.

Yang Qinglan followed right after, her nun's habit both holy and elegant.

Walking behind, the brother pinched his sister's hand, and her Identity Card slid out into his hand.

Li Changzhou switched the "Double Stab" with the "Fiery Flame Body."

With Li Qianxia's current physical constitution and battle awareness, she had already mastered the D-level "Double Stab" skill.

The train carriage approached the cemetery under the increasingly dark sky.

It turned out to be the church's cemetery, located to the north side of the church, between the choir hall and the botanical garden.

They landed in the church's stable, where a stableman was leading the horses back to their stalls, but he was so frightened at the sight of the descending train carriage that he collapsed on the ground.

Before he could cry out...

"Sir, we mean no harm, you may continue with your work," Li Changzhou said.

Had there been any special species present, they would have seen his voice, like movie special effects, ripple into the stableman's ears like ripples in water.

"Yes, you mean no harm, why should I be scared?" The stableman patted his pants, stood up, and continued leading his horse to the stall.

The four watched him enter the stable.

"Hypnosis?" Yang Qinglan vaguely remembered something, she seemed to have lost control over her body at the end of the fight with the ghost.

"Built-in for vampires." Li Changzhou said.

The four headed towards the cemetery, passing through the kitchen garden, or rather, the botanical garden.

"Are there limitations?"

"Not sure, it's generally fine with ordinary people, but it hasn't been tested on players," Li Changzhou replied.

As he spoke, he looked at Li Qianxia.

Wanting to test the hypnotic ability of the vampire before killing Eddie, he wondered if it was strong enough to buy from the exchange list.

"...Is that okay?" After stating the reasons, he asked Li Qianxia.

"Of course, I've never been hypnotized by someone before!"

Yang Qinglan and Bi stopped, curiously watching the two.

"Hmm, look into my eyes," Li Changzhou said.

"Mm." Li Qianxia responded lightly, making eye contact with her brother.

Although the twins were with each other almost every day, they hadn't made such serious eye contact many times.

"Qian Xia, tell me the thing you least want to tell me," Li Changzhou hypnotized.

"..." Slowly, Li Qianxia covered her eyes as if afraid of the light, a bit shyly, "Brother, let's change the question."

"..."

Regardless of the test results or Li Qianxia's response, Li Changzhou was left speechless.

His sister really did have secrets she kept from him; how dare she!

Yang Qinglan laughed softly: "Let's go."

Li Changzhou gave his sister a 'you're in for it when we get back' threatening glance and walked towards the cemetery.

The evening wind grew stronger, and after nightfall, it howled and whistled as it swept through.

Strange bird calls were sporadically heard, and the stone crosses on the graves intermittently gleamed, as if something in the graves was breathing or suppressing something.
