Starting from the recovery of Shanhaijing

Chapter 4 Reward Settlement
Sit cross-legged on the bed, with your back against the bulkhead.

Yan Jing looked at the information in front of her and took a sip of her drink.

Previously, he successfully killed the ghost-faced fish on the bottom of the sea, relying on the tiger dragon transformation brought by the bronze statue.

Although the effect has receded now, the explosive power is still fresh in his memory.

"Apostle of Embers should be referring to me, or referring to people like me. What does this torch mean?"

After confirming her abilities, Yan Jing couldn't help but start thinking about where the sudden change tonight came from.

Of course, this is doomed to be a fruitless question.

Fortunately, the storms experienced in these years made Yan Jing quickly adjust her mentality.

Since what happened tonight was not a dream, then Yan Jing is almost certain that similar dangerous situations will happen in the future.

Instead of racking your brains to figure out why, you might as well focus more on what to do next.

With that in mind, Yan Jing returned to the task briefing of the ghost-faced fish incident, raised her hand and placed it in front of her body, thinking about the spirit mask in her heart.

After a short delay, light lines flashed above the palm, and a mask with a strange appearance appeared in Yan Jing's hand.

The shape of the mask is similar to a combination of human and beast. The surface is covered with mysterious painted patterns, the eyes are hollowed out, the sides of the mouth are interlaced with fangs, and there are cloud-like horns on the edge.

Along with the mask comes information about it.

【Huan Ling Mask (Accessory)】

Quality: Rare
Special effects:

[Huangling] Enslave the target's soul and enchant the mask. The attributes obtained depend on the enslaved soul. There is a possibility of failure in enslavement, depending on the strength of the target's soul.

(0/3 of the current number of slaves)

[Thousand Faces] Wearing a mask can temporarily transform the appearance into that of an enslaved soul, and the duration depends on the mental state of the holder.

[Soul Control] Wear a mask to awaken the enslaved soul, and temporarily acquire one of its skills. The duration depends on the mental state of the bearer.

Rare quality equipment is really extraordinary!
Even though it was the first time for Yan Jing to come into contact with such items, she could still feel the strength of the Huan Ling mask.

As long as all three souls are collected, Yan Jing will be able to obtain three skills immediately, regardless of the special attributes after enchantment!
Putting away the mask, Yan Jing couldn't wait to use the previous task reward three, and directly started to draw random items of rare quality.

"The reward is in effect, and the item is being drawn."

【Shen Du · Wooden Dummy (Foreign Object)】

Quality: Rare
Special effects:

[Enlightenment] (Passive) When any melee skill of the holder breaks through the bottleneck, it has a certain chance to be triggered, causing the skill to mutate or strengthen.

(Skill proficiency at 19%, 39% and so on are the bottlenecks)
[Self-discipline] Choose a melee skill and engrave it into the wooden dummy. This skill is temporarily unavailable and will increase proficiency over time (it cannot be used to break through bottlenecks).

Current slot: empty
[Zhengwu] When practicing melee skills and melee specialization with wooden dummy, the efficiency is doubled!
Looking at this rare foreign object obtained by lottery, Yan Jing fell silent for a moment, and then took a breath of cold air.

On-hook upgrade proficiency plus a certain chance to obtain enhanced skills, plus an increase in the practice speed of specific skills.

Undoubtedly, for those who specialize in ancient martial arts, the effect of this auxiliary foreign object is simply exaggerated.

In fact, Yan Jing himself was very jealous.

After all, his legacy is also to enhance physical fitness, and he will definitely develop in the direction of melee combat in the future.

The problem is that Yan Jing doesn't have melee skills at all, let alone specific skills related to ancient martial arts. He has watched a lot of martial arts dramas and movies, but it is obvious that his skills are not up to the standard of skills.

Could it be that he had to go ashore and find a martial arts gym to learn boxing?
This idea is obviously unreliable, and it is definitely not a one-time effort to achieve a level that can be recognized as a skill.

Is there any shortcut?
Yan Jing immediately thought of the 230 salary point.

Nine out of ten things are currency. Since there is money, there should be places to spend it.

"The torch market has been opened, and the current authority is the lowest level, and the list of available purchases has been listed."

As if aware of Yan Jing's inner needs, the reminder sounded in his mind again.

The scene in front of him changed and turned into an unfolded scroll, which was filled with the names of various items from left to right.

Yan Jing looked up, the things sold in this market were simply dazzling.

From cold weapons such as knives, guns, swords and halberds to firearms, grenades and other firearms, everything is available.

It’s just that most of them are low-level items, and the highest quality comes with a special attribute [Excellent], and most of them are marked with [Ordinary Items] on the back, which belong to the category that can be obtained in this world as long as you have money.

After a cursory glance, Yan Jing quickly lost interest in them. His eyes moved up and down with the changes in the list, and when he turned to the page of foreign objects, his eyes suddenly lit up.

[Unarmed Combat Proficiency (Elementary)], 70 fire points

Immediately upon use, gains Beginner Unarmed Combat Proficiency.

[Cold weapon proficiency (primary)], 90 fire points

The effect is the same as above.

This kind of passive ability can allow people to form combat power in a short period of time. There are many similar scrolls, and the price is almost the same.

With the salary points Yan Jing earned in the novice event, he could only buy two specializations at most.

After roughly flipping through a few pages, apart from the primary scrolls of various specializations, Yan Jing found that there are other independent small columns for foreign objects.

For example, [Foreign Matter·Amulet], [Foreign Matter·Drug], [Foreign Matter·Essence].
There are all sorts of strange things in these columns, Yan Jing saw many things that might be useful in the future, but she didn't rush to start, but continued to scroll down.

There is a wooden dummy, so I have to find a melee skill first to improve my proficiency.

Turning directly to the skill page, Yan Jing couldn't help frowning when she saw the skill selection with only one page.

You must know that there are not only melee skills here, but all kinds of skills, and the former only accounts for a small part.

More importantly, the prices of most skills are quite high, often three-digit salary points.

"It seems that the skill scrolls in the Torch Bazaar are scarce goods. Is this strange because my authority is too low or is it that even the Torch Bazaar itself cannot make skill scrolls at will and have to buy them in other ways?"

While thinking, Yan Jing screened the melee skills that he might use, and finally locked on his target.

【Yan Wang Trifold Waves】

Quality: Normal

Attribute: Independent/Active
Special effect: After the skill is activated, the speed of the next three melee attacks will be greatly increased, the damage will increase, and it will explode completely at the last blow.

The damage value and incremental efficiency are determined according to the user's personal strength and hitting position.

Cooling time: determined according to the strength of muscles and bones.

This is Yan Jing's final choice after shopping around
Well, the fact is that other melee skills require more than 150 fire points, and Yan Jing also plans to buy an unarmed combat proficiency, and at the same time reserve some fire points to prepare for the events that may be experienced next.

In this way, only the price of Yama's Triassic meets his psychological expectation, which is 110 fire points.

Besides, Yan Jing doesn't think this skill is weak.

In his opinion, it is only one aspect that the Yan Wang Trifold Wave can be sold so cheaply. It is of ordinary quality, largely because it is not like other skills that can exert specific effects as long as it is used.

Its strength depends entirely on the strength of the user.

In other words, this skill probably has a very high demand for physical fitness, and Yan Jing, who has the legacy of the tiger dragon, now has nothing else but a strong body!
Purchase 【Yan Wang Trifold Wave】.

Although such skills do not have detailed numerical descriptions and levels, they do have proficiency.

The higher the proficiency, the more powerful the power and special effects that the skills can display.

Drop it directly into the slot on the dummy, and pull the list back in no time.

After deducting 110 salary points, there are 120 points left.

In order to ensure her own combat power, Yan Jing immediately bought [Unarmed Combat Proficiency (Elementary)].

If there is no Yan Wang Triassic, Yan Jing may choose to be proficient in firearms.

Since there are skills, unarmed combat proficiency is undoubtedly more cost-effective.

"Unarmed Combat Mastery has been purchased and is being received."

A reminder sounded in my mind.

next second.

Yan Jing fell straight on the bed.

The storm is finally over.

The sky was clear and blue again, and it was time for the fishing boats to return.

After living at sea for nearly a month, the crew members are eager to return to their hearts, and their work efficiency has been improved several levels.

After finishing her work, Yan Jing stood at the bow of the boat, enjoying the bright sunshine and refreshing sea breeze.

The sailors who came and went came to say hello one after another, and they all looked at him with some respect.

After a while, Zheng Sanshan walked over with two bottles of cold beer.

Drinking alcohol is actually not allowed on board, and this rule will only be relaxed on the return journey.

"Ah Jing, do you have any arrangements for going back this time?"

Knocking the bottle cap off the railing, Zheng Sanshan handed Yan Jing a bottle and said with a smile,

"Because of the storm, the ship must be repaired this time when we go back. I plan to give you a long vacation."

"Relax at home for a while, looking for a place to travel and relax. Xiaolian sent me a message a few days ago. She has been admitted to Shanqing University. I am going to send her there and play for a while before coming back."

"Hey, the key university is still in a big city like Shanqing. It will definitely be promising in the future. Later, I will go to the fish cabin to get some good things to bring back. Groupers, lobsters, pick a bag for myself."

"Haha~ My attack is very dark."

"Bullshit, your performance last night, even if you emptied the fish tank, it's fine!"

Thinking of what happened last night, the smile on Zheng Sanshan's face was a bit dull. He looked around and said in a low voice,

"As long as the incident of last night gets out, someone will definitely find it. Recently, the sea has become more and more uneasy. Dazui Wu and Lao He, you know these two people. They have encountered strange things when they went to sea. Although they are just I took a look at it from a distance, but after I came back, someone specifically questioned them."

"And this thing?"

Yan Jing's heart skipped a beat, and she asked,
"Then what should we do?"

"It was just a conversation between some of our old buddies when we were drinking. Damn it, this world is getting more and more evil. Before returning to Hong Kong, I plan to have a meeting. This time things are unlucky. When I meet a water ghost, everyone will talk about it." Hurry up, pretend it never happened."

Leaning against the railing of the ship, Zheng Sanshan swallowed half a bottle of beer in one gulp, his face full of vicissitudes was full of boredom, he paused, and then said,

"I will retire in a while. This boat will definitely have to find a new owner. If this news gets out, people will definitely lower the price. At that time, everyone's red envelopes will also have to be discounted. No one will be against the money."

Yan Jing listened, and heaved a sigh of relief.

It is a great thing that the captain is willing to help cover up, at least it will not be exposed for a short time.

Just thinking about what happened last night, Yan Jing couldn't help but look up at the sky, speechless for a moment.

The current world is just like what the third uncle said, not only will it become more evil, but it will gradually become chaotic.

More importantly, he couldn't stay out of it.
