CHAPTER 131: CHAPTER 131: DRAW AGAIN

Heteris Kingdom

National Capital

Amidst the elegant and serene city architecture, the Explorer’s House is nestled, and less than two streets away, a famous inn of the kingdom stands there.

A few small buildings, alternating in pale yellow and white, are nestled together, with a large sign hanging in the middle.

[Honey Badger Hive]

This inn is very famous in this kingdom, and basically all Explorers who need to stay in the national capital for a while choose this inn.

Delicious food, good environment, various comprehensive facilities, and rooms specially designed for various races are all part of its success.

Kane and his group, who were preparing to rest in the national capital, came to this inn by reputation.

In the guest lobby on the ground floor, the innkeeper was sitting at the front desk, registering the needs of guests who needed rooms.

"Five rooms, right? One Half-Body, one Little Fairy."

This was an upright honey badger, dressed in a fitted formal suit, holding his glasses with one hand and a pen with the other, recording Kane and his companions’ needs.

"Yes"

Upon hearing Kane’s confirmation, he called a staff member over to show Kane and the others to their respective rooms.

After the team members were all taken to their respective rooms, Kane was finally led to his own room by the staff.

The room was not too big or too small, had a private bathroom, a window with excellent lighting, and the whole room emitted a delicate fragrance.

Clean and tidy.

After Kane pushed open the door, he plopped onto the bed with a relaxed expression and let out a long sigh.

A wisp of white cloud slipped out of Kane’s body.

To avoid Cotton Candy’s unique appearance attracting unnecessary attention, Kane asked Cotton Candy to use Cloud Attachment on itself and hide inside his body when entering the city.

Now that they were inside the room, the lively creature eagerly came out.

Inside Kane’s body, it was basically like a statue, unable to move freely, which was utterly suffocating for the cloud.

After resting quietly in the room for a while, Kane took a refreshing bath, and soon it was night.

After eating the dinner prepared for guests at the inn, Kane lay comfortably on the bed again; ten days of camping had been quite grueling.

Staring at the ceiling for a while, he suddenly sat up.

Took out all the remaining Magic Materials from the Space Equipment.

These were the eight Energy Crystals left to be decrypted and the abundant Magic Materials dropped by the last leader.

That’s three more Skills in hand.

Summon the [Book of Adventure].

Took out three Blank Magic Stones from the Extraction Array.

Placed them in the Magic Materials for charging.

Held the charged Magic Stones in his hand.

Covered the other hand over the Extraction Array.

Perhaps drawing ten Skills at once last time made Kane immune; drawing two or three Skills now didn’t trigger an overly excited emotion.

[Skill Extraction]

[Consume Copper Magic Stone to extract Skill?]

[Yes][No]

"Yes"

[Extracting Skills······]

The array on the book started to rotate, emitting a faint light, and the three Magic Stones in his hand disappeared, replaced by three stone pieces with glowing patterns.

Began checking them one by one.

[Name: Martial Intuition]

[Type: Passive Skill]

[Hue: Copper]

[Explanation: Equipping this skill will enhance the awareness range, see through enemy attacks, find enemy weaknesses.]

[Introduction: Only by walking through a thousand knives and swords can one develop sight beyond sight.]

This skill looks extremely powerful from the description and effect, belonging to the close-range Divine Skill category, but the actual effect can only be known after personal experience.

However, no matter how you cut it, this skill can’t be rubbish because Kane believes Kreya probably has already mastered this move.

[Name: Long Spear Skill]

[Type: Passive Skill]

[Hue: Copper]

[Explanation: Equipping this skill allows for a significant boost in learning and practicing all spear-type weapons, making it easier to comprehend its techniques.]

[Introduction: A cold gleam comes first, followed by the spear striking like a dragon.]

Looks like my shortcoming in close combat will soon be compensated for; let’s see who dares to say I’m not talented.

Now, I’m a genius with spears.

[Name: Blessing of Strength]

[Type: Consumable Skill]

[Hue: Copper]

[Explanation: Upon using this skill, increases current strength by 25%, effective at Copper level.]

[Introduction: Blessing of the attributes, bestowed power by high-ranking intelligent beings.]

Wait, if I remember correctly, last time the Blessing of Strength boosted strength by 30%.

Why does this Blessing of Strength only boost by 25%?

Could this value have random attributes?

Who taught you that?

But it’s just a bit of grumbling; it still needs to be used, nothing much to say, Kane immediately installed it on the Skill Grid and opted to use it.

With its use, a surge of power welled up from inside, spreading throughout his entire body.

Two sessions of Blessing of Strength could allow Kane to fight evenly with Kreya without using the Divine Being transformation.

If the Divine Being transformation is activated, the power will completely suppress Kreya.

The three skills drawn this time are extremely useful for Kane.

They perfectly filled Kane’s weak point in close combat, possibly becoming Kane’s strongest output method.

Subsequently, Kane spent time placing the two skills into the Origin Skill Grid of Gerry to see if there were any special augmentation effects.

Sure enough, there were no augmentation effects whatsoever.

Kane lay on the bed, watching Cotton Candy sprinkle water towards the window, aiming at the mosquitoes in the garden outside.

Suddenly flipped out of bed.

Placed [Martial Intuition] into the Skill Grid.

Then called Cotton Candy over.

"Cotton Candy, spray water at me, see if I can dodge it."

With that, he directly closed his eyes.

Carefully felt the intuition that mysteriously appeared after installing the skill.

Although his eyes were closed, it was pitch black in front of him.

Yet inexplicably, he could sense the surroundings, as if a scanning machine had scanned the area and projected it into his mind.

Cotton Candy, seeing Kane willing to play games together.

Happily puffed out its mouth and started spraying water at Kane.

Initially, the water stream was very slow, just like playing around.

Even without the skill equipped, Kane might easily dodge it with his eyes closed.

As Cotton Candy watched Kane easily dodge the spray with closed eyes, a sense of competitiveness arose in its heart.

Began speeding up, aiming at Kane and spraying water.

Although the water stream’s speed increased, Kane still easily dodged left and right, avoiding Cotton Candy’s entire water stream with ease.

Seeing Kane still easily dodge, Cotton Candy couldn’t help feeling a bit annoyed, starting to spit water like crazy, its mouth spraying like a machine gun.

This time, Kane finally felt a bit pressured.

The whole body dodged continuously up and down, left and right, leaving afterimages, yet narrowly and just avoided all water attacks, with not a bit of his clothes getting wet.

Before long, Cotton Candy finally stopped attacking, sticking out its tongue, panting as it looked at Kane.

Then, without bothering with Kane anymore, it turned its head angrily, flying out the window.

The room across the window was, conveniently, Kreya’s room.
