I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

Chapter 2: Some Mysterious Golden Light

Zhang Chen's eyes lit up as he looked at the red bead on the ground. He didn't even bother to dwell on Zhang Chen's insults and quickly walked towards the bead, wanting to see what good stuff had fallen from the fox spirit.

But when Zhang Chen arrived in front of the bead, he was somewhat disappointed: "More experience points?"

The bead had '+5' written on it, and it wasn't the skill Zhang Chen wanted.

However, Zhang Chen quickly composed himself and comforted himself: "It's better to have something drop than nothing. Once I have skills, points will become important. Accumulating some points now isn't a bad idea."

Zhang Chen picked up the experience points, and then the experience points interface in front of him changed:

【Name: Zhang Chen】

【Skill: None】

【Points: 45】

Zhang Chen carried the roe deer back to his yard, hung the skinned deer directly on the wall, turned around and sat in the corner of the house, his eyes quietly watching the deer on the wall. He didn't have to wait long. The next moment, the deer hanging on the wall disappeared into thin air, leaving only a reddish-yellow bead in its place.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Chen was so angry that his teeth itched. He even heard a soft complaint from next door: 'Why isn't this roe deer skinned today? That poor hunter next door is getting lazier and lazier. I have to do it myself.'

Listening to the faint grumbling, Zhang Chen silently collected the experience points '+5', his eyebrows twitching with anger.

"It's too bullying! It's simply too bullying!" After collecting the experience points, Zhang Chen stood in front of the wall, looking at the gap he had re-sealed with mud, and his heart stirred slightly. After a moment of internal struggle, he took out a wire and carefully poked open the hole he had previously blocked.

To defeat the enemy, you must first understand them. I didn't discover anything when I spied on them before, so if I'm more careful now, they shouldn't be able to discover me.

Zhang Chen carefully put his eye to the hole, and the scene next door came into view. He saw that two oil lamps were lit next door. The poor scholar wasn't in the house. The white-clothed girl was preparing the roe deer with bloodied hands, muttering and cursing: "That damn hunter, he's getting lazier and lazier now. I'm getting tired of eating roe deer meat every day. Can't he change the flavor? And can't he process the roe deer before bringing it back?"

Before long, a fragrant clay pot rice was ready. The girl transformed back into a white fox and jumped onto the bed. At this moment, footsteps came from outside the door, and the poor scholar Zhang Chen walked into the house carrying a bucket of water. Looking at the table full of food, he couldn't help but smile slightly: "I don't know which passing immortal bestowed this upon me. I thank you here. It's just that the gods send me roe deer meat every day, and I'm tired of eating it. It would be even better if you could send a bowl of chicken tomorrow. Thank you, gods!"

After the scholar thanked in a seemingly sincere manner, he sat down and ate heartily, picking up the meat on the table and feeding it to the little fox.

"You damn well should be thanking me the most," Zhang Chen muttered next door, grinding his back teeth.

After dinner, the scholar cleaned up the table and sat down at the dilapidated desk. At this time, the little fox didn't know where it had gotten a page of gold leaf and jumped into the scholar's arms.

"Okay, it's time for our nightly reading... Huh, where did this gold leaf come from? To actually use gold leaf to create a carrier for writing, isn't that a bit too extravagant?" The scholar held the fox and discovered the gold leaf page the fox had brought. He took it in his hand and examined it for a moment, then couldn't help but be surprised:

"Book pages made of gold, that's extravagant enough! What kind of article needs to be engraved on book pages made of gold? Where did you get this, little fox?"

The scholar looked at the gold leaf book with great curiosity, took it in his hand and said, "Let me see what this gold book records. Huh, this seems to be a text from the ancient times. It just so happens that the teacher taught me about it a few days ago."

Zhang Chen, who was spying next door, looked at the golden book page and suddenly saw two clusters of golden 'skill points' fall from the golden book page, which made him stunned: "That golden book page is not simple."

After examining it for a moment, the scholar stroked the little fox's head and said, "It's actually a chapter of pretense and trickery, saying that worshiping the gods can ward off all evil. This is just fooling people. It's a piece of worthless garbage."

But the little fox didn't agree, whining and jumping around, looking quite anxious. The scholar, seeing this, said helplessly: "Okay, okay, since you want to listen, then I'll read it to you."

After the scholar finished speaking, he began to recite the words on the gold leaf. This was also his tacit understanding with the fox spirit. The fox spirit often brought some books from unknown dynasties, and the fox spirit couldn't read, so he specially recited them for the fox spirit to listen to.

"The Dao is omnipresent, even in the lands of barbarians, in distant and foreign regions, how can it not be followed? To enlighten the ignorant with those who are enlightened, only the sage can illuminate. Therefore, even in distant lands like India, one should be good at saving them and not abandon them..."

Accompanied by the sound of chanting, the void in front of Zhang Chen next door suddenly flickered, and the golden finger interface flickered for a while:

【Name: Zhang Chen】

【Skill: Western Ascension Scripture # Fragment (0/10)】

【Points: 50】

【Note: A fragment of a mysterious scripture. Adding points will bring mysterious changes.】

"Skill? I actually got a skill?"

Looking at the golden finger before him, Zhang Chen was overjoyed. He never expected that his peeping tonight would bring such an unexpected reward. With a thought, he directly added the ten points. In the next moment, the numbers in front of Zhang Chen changed again:

【Name: Zhang Chen】

【Skill: Somewhat Mysterious Golden Light (0/50)】

【Points: 140】

Then, Zhang Chen only felt a heat in his body, and a stream of Qi appeared in his dantian. It seemed as if a golden light was flowing before his eyes.

“This is?” Zhang Chen was stunned. He only felt that there was a trace of inexplicable golden aura gathering in his dantian. The aura was as thin as a hair, but it truly existed. With Zhang Chen's breathing, it continuously pulsed according to a certain rhythm.

Although the golden light was weak, it illuminated Zhang Chen's spiritual world. Suddenly, his entire spiritual world gained a feeling that could ward off all darkness and purify all evil.

“This is?” Zhang Chen felt the wisp of golden light in his dantian, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

He indeed felt a golden light pulsing with his breath in his dantian.

It pulsed, but then there was nothing else. He didn't feel anything else.

“What's the use of this skill?” Zhang Chen was a bit confused. He had the skill, but he didn't know what it was for.

“The 'Somewhat Mysterious Golden Light' can't be used, which only means its level is too low. When I level it up in the future, there will definitely be great changes.” Zhang Chen constantly encouraged himself in his heart.

“If I pick up more experience points, can this 'Somewhat Mysterious Golden Light' be upgraded? Will I have a way to deal with that damned fox spirit then?” Zhang Chen began to mutter to himself. Just feeling the bursts of rhythm in his abdomen that accompanied his breathing, Zhang Chen couldn't help but frown: “What is this Somewhat Mysterious Golden Light? Could it be a legendary superpower? Or some kind of divine ability?”

Zhang Chen couldn't figure it out for the time being.

“A bit of a pitfall!” Zhang Chen scratched his head and looked at the experience points behind the Somewhat Mysterious Golden Light. It actually required fifty points. Looking at the experience points dropped from the scriptures next door, he couldn't help but feel envious.

If he wanted to upgrade the Somewhat Mysterious Golden Light, he needed fifty experience points. If he added the two clusters in the next room, it should be enough.

Zhang Chen carefully plugged the hole in the wall, then leaned against the wall, countless thoughts flashing through his mind: “There are two clusters of golden light on the ground next door. I wonder if they dropped skills or points.”

Thinking of the two clusters of golden light next door, Zhang Chen's heart was on fire: “I have to find a chance to collect those two clusters of golden light. Will my skills be able to upgrade then?”

“I don't know if Zhang Chen and the fox spirit will continue to go to the school tomorrow. They have to go out to the school every day to see the teacher.” Zhang Chen said to himself.

However, Zhang Chen's troubles soon took a turn for the better. The next day, Zhang Chen was not in a hurry to go out. Instead, he waited for the fox spirit and the bookworm to leave the house before prying open the crack in the wall to peek through. The gold foil had disappeared, but the two clusters of golden experience points were still there.

“Should I go?” Zhang Chen's heart was a little hesitant. What if he bumped into the fox spirit? He wouldn't be able to explain himself. But looking at his golden finger panel, Zhang Chen was still determined, after all, every experience point was very precious to him.

Zhang Chen walked out of the courtyard and saw Zhang Chen holding the fox disappear behind the village, then quickly climbed over the wall and entered the home of the fox spirit.

The scholar's home was very simple, but it was well-organized and looked very orderly.

There was only a water tank, a bucket, a desk, a bed, and a bookshelf in the house.

Looking at the two clusters of experience points, Zhang Chen's eyes were straight. It actually said ' + 50 ' experience points on them.

“What exactly is that gold page? The dropped experience points are actually more than the fox spirit.” Without saying a word, Zhang Chen quickly collected the experience points. However, he did not leave at this time, but instead a greed arose in his heart: “If I steal that gold foil, will it continue to generate experience points?”

After thinking for a long time, reason finally prevailed over greed. Zhang Chen quickly withdrew and returned to his house to calm his excited mood, then a pair of eyes looked at the golden finger: “The fox spirit is not someone I can offend for the time being. As long as my skills are upgraded, that page of gold foil will be mine sooner or later.”

【Name: Zhang Chen】

【Skill: Somewhat Mysterious Golden Light (0/50)】

【Points: 140】

“The first upgrade was to upgrade the Western Ascension Scripture into the Somewhat Mysterious Golden Light. I wonder what the second upgrade will be.” Zhang Chen had a faint expectation in his heart. Facing the pressure brought by the fox spirit, he was really too afraid in his heart. It was simply restless and like a lump in his throat. He didn't even dare to sleep soundly, for fear that he would accidentally blurt out something he shouldn't say.

When A Chinese Ghost Story enters reality, he doesn't envy the scholar's beauties at all! This feeling is like everyone wants to pet a tiger, but when the tiger really appears in front of you, you just want to run!

Just like the first time he discovered the fox spirit, a fear rose in Zhang Chen's mind. All the beauties in A Chinese Ghost Story turned into one sentence at this time: 'Will it harm me?'

“There's a demon living next door to my house?”

“Will this demon eat people!”

“This is a demon!”
