CHAPTER 50: GOURMET SUPPLIER

Is Uncle angry?

Li Chunhua instantly quietened. Did she do it wrong? But she just followed her senior sister’s teachings, and it works every time the senior sister gets in trouble. Those elders became lenient in their punishments and even gave her spirit stones.

Then, whenever her senior sister received the spirit stones from those elders, she would praise them even more boisterously until her throat became parched and the elders and those senior brothers would laugh heartily and be in a good mood all day long.

Mr. Fang adjusted his mood and tried to reduce the tint on his cheeks before instructing her.

"Fix your sitting posture, back straight, with both palms on your thighs. Inhale and exhale repeatedly, and feel the energy within you. This energy is formless and colorful, but if you’re an ability user, you’ll be able to sense it.

For strength-based users, those energies are a shade of white. If you see those tiny speckles, then try to gather them and condense them around your skin like armor. Don’t be discouraged if you can’t do it on your first try."

This world had energy like her previous world had qi essences? And ability users could automatically sense it?

That’s very enviable because cultivators such as her have always treated this step as a stumbling block because once you don’t have any aptitude to sense the qi essence around you, you’re not eligible to be a cultivator, alchemist, or use dharma spells.

It was a harsh requirement.

Since she was not an inhabitant of this world and her status as an ability user was fabricated, Li Chunhua didn’t try to sense this so-called ’energy’ the Uncle elaborated at first and tried to use her qi.

Li Chunhua closed her eyes and concentrated, wrapping her body with qi first to try to see if it worked. Because the process was very similar to when cultivators used qi to envelop their bodies as an extra layer of protection when fighting, it was a breeze for Li Chunhua to comprehend Mr. Fang’s words.

After a few seconds, Li Chunhua heard the familiar system notification, sharing the good news of her acquiring a new skill.

[You are learning the S-level Skill-Energy Armor (Unspecialized) Proficiency: 1/100].

The energy of this world and the Qi essences must be functioning as one!

A smile bloomed on Li Chunhua’s lips.

For once, she was motivated.

[Energy Armor (A)

-The user’s body will be coated with energy armor that nullifies magic and physical attack by consuming a mana of 500 per second. If damage from magic and physical attacks exceeds 2000, an additional 500 mana will be consumed.

- The user can effectively increase the range of the skill and cast it into friendly units; additional mana is consumed.

- Additional effects as proficiency increases]

There is it! A defense skill!

This is wonderful!

Her barrier only had the function of increasing defenses and wouldn’t nullify attacks, which only means with the first method, she could still suffer some damage, but the Energy Armor will completely negate the damage that qualifies the criteria.

Although her body had undergone an anomaly and she retained her cultivation level, she wouldn’t bet on it always to withstand any attacks, especially when the game reach mid-stage, some even powerful monster would appear.

The life of a salted fish is so hard to accomplish.

Li Chunhua started using her qi and wrapped her body with it. She was too familiar with this process, and it wasn’t a hassle to fill out the progress bar.

[Proficiency +1...+1...+1...+1...]

Mr. Fang silently stood up, leaving the book on the floor, and went to get a mat. He laid it on the floor a meter from the lass since it would take a long time for her to do it.

Grappling First, one of his ex-students was the fastest to comprehend the skill, and it took him almost a day to do so. He might as well get a mat and a mattress first in case he fell asleep while monitoring the lass.

"Once you’re done, I’ll treat you to a meal in the public food market," he said before lifting his feet.

Public food market?

The proficiency points shot like a cannon ball, and in the blink of an eye, it reached 100.

[Proficiency 100/100]

Li Chunhua abruptly opened her eyes, and her body shone with luster a quarter of a second later.

(º﹃º)

[Congratulations for fully comprehending a new skill: Energy Armor evolves to Level 1 Energy Armor.]

"I’m done! I’m done! I’m done!" Li Chunhua raised her hand and immediately reported her progress three times with an eager voice.

Mr. Fang nearly slipped to the floor while looking at her body enveloped in a faint silver luster, signifying she had just comprehended the skill.

"..."

Not even five minutes had passed yet.

(⊙_⊙;)

"You..." Mr. Fang stuttered, speechless.

"I’m done, Uncle. So when are we going to the food market?" Li Chunhua stood up and asked. Her eyes were sparkling with anticipation.

Uncle, you should’ve said so at the beginning!

Mr. Fang just stared at her intensely, as if she had grown two heads.

Which monster den did that lad, Gong Panli, pull this lass from?

There’s no way a human could do that!

His worldview was slightly shattered.

--

Meanwhile, after leaving the farming task to the little loli as a sort of punishment and treating his head injury, Long Haoran wasted no time to hunt monsters to grind to Level 5 and choose a class, as the system had said, but there seems to be a problem going on because his status just suddenly stated he already had a class.

Under the shade of the tree, with the loot still scattered all over the grass, Long Haoran was dazedly looking at the screens and the information that didn’t make any sense.

[System Notification: The player’s had received inheritance from a past victor. The player is no longer eligible for the class selection.]

Gourmet Supplier?

When did he pick such a class?

And how can he defeat monsters with this?

Feed them to death?

(￣┬￣;)

Suddenly, the wound on his forehead ached, and blood trickled down from the corner of his lips.

There’s a tree, and he only lacks a rope, and it was a very beautiful day for a swing.
