Novel Bin Chapter 5
Chapter 5
A milky-white ball of light suddenly emerged from Liu San’s body and fell in front of Xu Bai, who was sitting on the floor.
After the white ball of light fell, it even bounced twice mischievously.
This was…
Xu Bai frowned and used his right hand to touch the ball of light, which instantly disappeared into his finger.
Seconds later, a message suddenly appeared in Xu Bai’s mind.
[Ding! Discovered skill: Mountain Splitter]
[Skill: Mountain Splitter]
[Grade: White]
[Levels available: 0/10]
[Description: This is a lowest-grade fist technique from the Great Desolate World. Its tagline is One Punch to Split Mountains!]
[Remark: The only mountain it can split is a tofu mountain. Don’t take its name to heart.]
[Options: Learn/Refuse to Learn (Learning is not recommended!)]
“This is a skill book?”
Xu Bai raised his eyebrows and looked at the translucent explanation panel that suddenly appeared in front of him. He did not think much about it and said, “Learn.”
This was the first skill book he had come across in 22 years, so he would not hesitate to learn any skill that could break a piece of tofu, let alone a mountain of tofu.
Only then would Xu Bai believe that he really had a useful system, and that he could look forward to finding something that could cure his sister from it in the future.
Buzz!
When Xu Bai focused his thoughts, an ancient book with the words ‘Mountain Splitter’ written on it, which had been lying quietly in a certain space, turned into a stream of light. Immediately after, information surged into Xu Bai’s mind.
[Ding! Successfully learnt!]
[Mountain Splitter: 1/10]
[Congratulations Player, you have obtained your first skill. You can now try to use your Skill Experience to level it up. After it reaches the maximum level, there may be additional surprises.]
[Ding! Mission completed: The fight in Room 804!]
[Mission Category: Daily]
[Mission Reward: Experience +100, Skill Experience +50]
[Ding! New mission: The Mystery of the Great Desolate World]
[Mission Category: Main]
[Mission Reward: Unknown]
[Mission Description: When the two worlds collide, what will happen? As a player, what choice will you make?]
“…”
Xu Bai had not recovered from the shock of obtaining the skill when he heard the next notification ring out in his ear. Then, he stared blankly at the main mission that suddenly popped up in front of him. He felt like his system was finally coming to life.
Am I dreaming?
When he suddenly turned away and then looked back again, he widened his eyes again after confirming what was written on it.
“Main mission?”
Xu Bai could not believe what he was seeing, and said excitedly, “Accept, accept!”
Su Meng clutched her waist and walked over with a pale face. She looked at Xu Bai, who was sitting on the ground, and asked nervously, “Brother Bai, what’s wrong?”
Xu Bai then came back to his senses and looked at Su Meng.
Su Meng’s big eyes were filled with tears.
“You didn’t…”
Xu Bai looked at Su Meng’s pale face and subconsciously reached out his hands. He was about to ask if Su Meng was okay when he felt a sharp pain from his shoulders.
“Ahhh!”
Xu Bai could not help but cry out in pain. His entire body was curled up like a shrimp as he tried to endure the pain he felt after the adrenaline rush wore off.
He gritted his teeth and said, “F*ck! It hurts!”
It was truly painful.
Xu Bai suspected that someone with weaker willpower would have fainted on the spot.
Fortunately, reinforcements arrived very quickly.
“Mengmeng, Little Bai!”
The uniformed team leader who rushed in had a square-shaped face and a veteran’s hairstyle. He glanced at the two corpses on the floor, then ran over to Xu Bai and Su Meng, who had moved to the sofa.
When the team leader, who was known to be a very physical person, reached Xu Bai, he subconsciously tried to give Xu Bai a loving hug.
Xu Bai’s face turned pale.
“Don’t!”
“Team Leader, Master is injured and can’t be hugged!”
The team leader had the physique of a gorilla, so Xu Bai seriously believed that his two arms would be completely crippled if he was on the receiving end of one of these hugs in his current condition.
Fortunately, the team leader stopped in his tracks after hearing Xu Bai and Su Meng’s shouts. He looked at Xu Bai, who was frowning and sweating profusely. His expression darkened and he frowned, “Are you injured?”
Xu Bai forced a smile onto his face.
Su Meng wiped the cold sweat off Xu Bai’s forehead with a handkerchief. She looked at the team leader and said nervously, “Leader, Master can’t seem to move his arms…”
Before she finished speaking, the team leader’s expression changed. He turned around and shouted at the agent who was examining the two corpses in the living room, “Stop the examination. Where’s the ambulance? Get them in here! All of you, move it.”
When the police detectives at the door heard this, they rushed down to hurry the medical staff.
Ten minutes later.
Downstairs, Xu Bai sat in the ambulance and grimaced.
“Don’t move.”
“It hurts.”
“Endure it.”
In the ambulance, a nurse wearing a mask said this expressionlessly. Then, she looked at Xu Bai, who was gritting his teeth, and her tone softened.
“Don’t move. I’ll be gentler.”
Xu Bai did not say anything. He just nodded. Because of the pain, it was difficult for him to speak.
However, internally, he was full of excitement.
Even after the adrenaline had disappeared, Xu Bai could still feel his heart beating vigorously and excitedly.
He had finally found the main mission line.
Even though he was confused about the mission, he had finally found the main mission that had caused him to be stuck at Level 9 for almost ten years.
‘Wait a minute…’
‘I’ve found the main mission. Does this mean that I can level up?’
Xu Bai suddenly thought of this. Focusing his thoughts, he instantly opened his status panel.
[Ding! Game panel opened!]
