Chapter 3 Skills and Search
This is exactly the same as in the game. And it feels so good to be alive again!
Feeling the strong beating of his chest and the warmth spreading through his body along with his blood, Lu En felt that the surroundings were more vivid and real than ever before. He had a premonition that he was now truly replacing the boy.
He was Lu En, Lu En was him.
The Soul Eater game was similar to other games. The character attributes were divided into four categories: spirit, physical strength, and agility. So, he should also have an attribute panel. Lu En's heart moved.
He silently thought for a few seconds, and sure enough, the font in the corner of his eye began to change, and it was replaced by a panel that he remembered to be extremely simple.
Name: Lu En
Status: Healthy
Spirit: 1
Physical Strength: 0.8
Strength: 0.7
Agility: 0.8
Skill: Evil Spirit Whisper
Then there was nothing. This was originally a half-finished product, and there was no reference. Lu En didn't know what his attributes were. He thought there was nothing special, but the highest one was actually spiritual. This surprised Lu En. Could it be because he traveled through time and his soul merged?
Spirit is a general concept. Lu En speculated that it might be related to memory, comprehension, etc., but on second thought, this 1 point of spirit was only obtained after adding 0.1. It was probably only 0.9 before, which was pitifully small compared to the dozens or hundreds in the game.
Spirit and physical strength were each added by 0.1, and there seemed to be no obvious changes. Lu En sipped the candy in his mouth and turned his eyes back to the desk. Suddenly, a breeze blew outside the window, and the black book placed neatly on the desk was blown away by the wind, turning into a ball of flying ash that covered Lu En's face.
"Pfft! What's going on? Why is it gone?"
Lu En was shocked. He was planning to look through the book to see what was recorded in it, but it was ruined. However, he was relieved at the same time. The human face and long tongue that appeared before were too weird and scary. They scared him.
It's gone, so it's gone. This can be regarded as destroying the body.
Lu En was very relaxed. There was nothing to regret. Judging from Jamie's behavior, the book probably didn't record anything good. Now he was focusing on the skill that suddenly appeared.
Evil Spirit Whispering.
The name sounded a bit weird, and Lu En felt it even more so after reading the skill introduction.
Evil Spirit Whispering: Some evil spirits that have lived for a long time can see into people's hearts. Their words have incredible power. When you activate this skill, your words will add effects such as deterrence, bewitching, and seduction. The specific effect depends on the target's will.
Listen, all negative effects, this looks like a villain skill, and how to activate it?
Forget it, let's finish the candy first.
There are not many candies. After careful counting, there are actually six left, with different colors, but they are all crystal clear, like gems. Lu En bit the candy in his mouth, swallowed it, and then threw another one in. After a few seconds, the prompt appeared.
"Physical strength +0.05"
"Spirit +0.05"
"You have obtained some information."
The attenuation is so severe? Lu En frowned.
In the living room, Lu Xiaokui listened to the sound coming from the room, then looked at the food on the table that he had eaten cleanly, touched his belly with a satisfied smile, and tiptoed to clean up the dishes.
"Although my brother said he would wash the dishes, Xiaokui should be sensible and let my brother go to study. I will secretly wash the dishes first so that my brother doesn't have to wash them." Xiaokui thought that her brother might have eaten out today, and was in a good mood. He didn't beat or scold her, and even let her eat all the dishes.
If only my brother could always be so kind
The little girl was looking forward to it. As soon as she turned around with the bowl in her hand, she found that Lu En was standing behind her. She was shocked: "Hey, brother! Why are you behind me?"
The bowl in her hand shook a few times and almost fell to the ground. Lu En quickly supported it and took it over: "Didn't you say I would wash the dishes?"
"But but" Xiao Kui wanted to say something when she looked at her empty hands, but was interrupted by Lu En with a smile: "No buts, you go watch TV, I'll wash the dishes."
"Oh!"
Somehow, Xiao Kui suddenly felt that her brother's smile was so warm and warm, and she couldn't think of refusing at all. She walked to the sofa in a daze and watched the comedy drama with the rabbit doll in her arms.
Lu En walked to the sink with the bowl in his arms, thinking, is this the power of the evil spirit's mumbling?
It was a bit like using language to hypnotize, and the effect was okay, but Lu En probably thought it was because Xiao Kui was young and had no defense against him. If it was someone else, it would be unrealistic to convince her with just one or two words.
It was easy to activate the skill. Lu En just had to concentrate on talking and think about what effect he wanted. It would work better with facial expressions, but it seemed to be very exhausting. Lu En said one sentence and now he felt a little tired.
He ate all the candy in the room, and his attributes had changed significantly compared to before.
Name: Lu En
Status: Healthy
Spirit: 1.3
Stamina: 1
Strength: 0.8
Agility: 0.8
This is his current four-dimensional attribute. These candies seem to increase attributes randomly, but in fact, each one adds more or less to the spirit, and then randomly increases one of the physical strength and strength. As for agility, there is no change at all.
The spirit increased by 0.4, and the physical strength was second, with 0.3. According to the proportion, this is already an extremely amazing increase. You should know that his spirit was only 0.9 at the beginning, which is almost half the increase. The change is very significant. Now Lu En feels that his brain is extremely clear, his thoughts turn very quickly, and he is very sensitive to the outside world. He can hear the sound of Xiao Kui gently cleaning up the dishes in the room.
The increased physical strength also makes his figure look a little taller and stronger, but the biggest change is his mental outlook. His eyes are smart and vigorous. He is completely different from the boy who was always bullied and timid and cowardly. This is the biggest change brought by the increase in spirit.
For Lu En, this was still a big trouble. Such a huge change overnight would make anyone suspicious, especially under the premise that Jamie's black book was lost. Even if Jamie didn't care about the loss of such a special black book, there would definitely be people who would not let it go.
In short, the most important thing during this period of time is to keep a low profile.
Lu En sighed, sat on the sofa and watched TV with Xiao Kui for a while, and then looked at the homework on the table helplessly.
The student days that make people love and hate!
The next day.
At dawn, Lu En had already taken the earliest bus to school, found a pair of black-framed glasses to cover his eyes, and messed up his hair, finally covering most of the changes. He shrank his neck slightly and went into the classroom as usual, but just saw Jamie and others blocking the door.
"Lu En, come here!"
Jamie and the other two blocked the door and didn't know what they were doing. They blocked all the students who came early and searched for their schoolbags. Due to the power of these people in the class, the students dared not speak out.
Lu En's heart sank, but he did not hesitate. He walked towards the three people without hesitation, and even handed over his schoolbag consciously.
"You look silly wearing glasses today." Jamie glanced at him, opened the schoolbag and flipped the books inside, and then asked: "I lost a book, did you take it?"
Such a straightforward question.
Lu En shook his head decisively: "No, I don't know."
"I don't think I have the courage!"
Lu En's image has been fixed in the minds of almost all students. Jamie may suspect everyone, but Lu En is definitely one of the least likely ones. There is no other reason. Being timid and cowardly has basically become his label. Even the girls who wrote love letters to him before thought it was an insult and mocked him in public.
"Okay, let's go!" Jamie's eyes seemed to contain great anger. He impatiently threw the schoolbag back to Lu En and waved his hand to signal him to leave. Lu En breathed a sigh of relief and took half a step with the schoolbag.
"Lu En!"
A loud roar suddenly came from behind him, followed by a strong wind. Lu En was now extremely alert. He dodged without thinking. A big foot stretched out from behind him and kicked Jamie in front of him with a bang!
Wow!
Jamie was caught off guard and fell backwards. Fortunately, there was a desk behind him and his companions hurriedly pulled him back. He stabilized his body, but his face, which was not good to begin with, became even uglier and even more ferocious.
"Pencas, you dare to kick me?!"
"No, I didn't mean to. I wanted to." Pencas was also at a loss for a moment. Although he was also arrogant, he was far from the level of Jamie and others who were known as class bullies. At this time, he kept explaining: "I wanted to kick Lu En, it was really not intentional."
Lu En stood up and turned his head. Seeing that the boy named Pencas was the one who asked him to clean the room yesterday, he immediately understood.
"Damn you!" Seeing Luen looking at him, Pengcas was furious again, pointing at Luen's nose: "How dare you avoid me? And yesterday after school I asked you to clean up, but you left, causing me to be scolded by the teacher, you..."
"Enough!"
Jamie on the side suddenly roared, shocking everyone around him, took two steps forward and slapped Pengcas in the face, his expression furious: "If you want to scold people, go somewhere else. I'm very annoyed now, very annoyed, don't fucking mess with me!"
"Don't be impulsive!"
"Talk nicely, don't do it!"
Jamie's companions hurriedly pulled him to dissuade him. The loss of the black book and the inexplicable kick made Jamie like a full gunpowder barrel, ready to explode.
"Huff!"
After being slapped in public, Pengcas's face was burning. The mocking eyes around him made him want to find a hole to crawl into. His breathing became heavy instantly, but he didn't have the courage to fight back. In the end, he turned his eyes and fell on Lu En's face: "Lu En, you have the guts, if you really have the guts, don't leave after school!"
After saying the harsh words, he turned around and left, leaving Lu En speechless.
Am I being invited to fight?
What happened in the morning can only be regarded as an episode. Soon the classroom regained its former vitality. Jamie checked everyone's backpacks with a gloomy face, but of course he found nothing. In the end, he didn't even attend the class and disappeared. The teacher didn't dare to intervene. Who said his father was not only rich, but also a director of the school.
And for the whole day, Lu En was concentrating on doing one thing, a student should do.
Listen carefully.
Last night, Lu En analyzed it carefully for a long time and found that if he wanted to change the status quo, there should be only one way to go, that is, study hard and make progress every day.
Even if he has a food spirit, he can increase his four-dimensional attributes, but let's not talk about how to find the materials. Even if he becomes stronger after finding them, what can he do? Kill people, set fire, and rob banks? This world is not an era of cold weapons. There are also airplanes, cannons, guns and missiles.
So after thinking for half a night, Lu En decided to use his strong spiritual strength to be a good student first. After a whole day of classes, with the teacher's explanation and the memory fragments that emerged from time to time, Lu En was no longer completely unfamiliar with these knowledge, and his absorption and understanding were surprisingly fast.
When the school bell rang, Lu En ran fast with his schoolbag, making Peng Kasi, who wanted to block him behind him, jump up and down in anger. The battle of Tianwang Mountain ended hastily before it even started.
Lucas City.
In a simply decorated room, a middle-aged man knelt quietly, with only a coffee table in front of him, and nothing on it. He closed his eyes and breathed slowly. He was handsome, his clothes were exquisite and luxurious, and the years only left a shallow mark on his forehead.
Click.
The wooden door in front of him was pushed open on both sides, and a young man in a white training suit walked in, bowing his head and saying, "Master Tu, Jamie is here."
"Let him in." The middle-aged man said lightly, and opened his eyes at the same time. Not long after, Jamie, who was also in a white training suit, walked in and bowed respectfully to the middle-aged man: "Master Tu!"
"Sit down!" The man nodded and looked at Jamie. His eyes were a rare dark green. Jamie looked at him and had the illusion of being stared at by a beast.
"Master Tu, I'm here because my father decided to invest another 10 million in the club and add another 20 million later." Jamie sat down and started talking about the big news, while peeking at the other person's expression from the corner of his eyes.
But to his disappointment, none of these seemed to shake the man's mind. He still had no expression on his face and nodded slightly: "Your father is thoughtful."
"In addition," Jamie was a little disappointed, but he continued: "The black card that the master gave me last time didn't seem to have any effect. I gave it to a classmate. Three days later, he was fine and alive and well."
"Didn't I ask you to take some animals for experiments?" The master's eyes moved slightly and said indifferently.
"Animals are not as intuitive as people!" Jamie smiled indifferently.
"Humans are smarter than animals. If you let him wear it for three days, he may not listen. There is nothing wrong with the black card. Since the person is not dead, then the person you gave it to has a problem." The master said coldly: "Anything else?"
Jamie was stunned at first, and then his face looked a little ugly: "That guy dared to lie to me. By the way, Master Tu, I lost the book you lent me two days ago. I have been looking for it all day today and can't find it. I know it is an antique passed down from the Third Dynasty. Let's do this. You tell me the price and I will go back and let my dad."
"Wait!"
The master's face finally changed. He waved his hand to stop him from continuing to talk. His brows frowned: "What did you say, the book was lost?"
"Yes, I" Jamie wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the master again without mercy. He saw his eyes turn and fall on Jamie, like a venomous snake staring at its prey, raised one hand and raised a finger: "Three days, I only give you three days. If you can't find the book, you and your father will prepare for the funeral together."
Jamie's face changed.
