Chapter 20 Poverty Is a Disease

    The basic price of a Bronze skill was 100 Wish Power points, and the basic price of a Silver skill was 1000 Wish Power points. The basic price of a Gold skill was 10000 Wish Power points. This was very logical.

    Tang Lin looked at his measly 1200 Wish Power points and knew that the abilities of Magneto were not destined for him. However, he could still console himself. After all, Magneto was a boss-level big shot. It made sense that his abilities were expensive.

    He continued looking on.

    [Dark Gold Skill: Super Large-Scale Telepathy Level 1]

    [Source of Skill: The plane of the X-Men, Charles Xavier (Professor X)]

    [Skill Effect: Communicates telepathically with all intelligent lifeforms, manipulates thoughts, imprisons souls, modifies memories, and even achieves immortality for souls.]

    [Remark: If you are only obsessed with hypnotic control after acquiring this skill, you are too unambitious. As long as you work a little harder, immortality is not difficult for you.]

    [Skill Exchange Price: 100000 Wish Power points. As it comes from a neutral species, there is no exchange discount. Actual price: 100000 Wish Power points.]

    They were all level-four mutants. Why was Professor X’s ability ten times more expensive than that of Magneto? Was this system’s criteria based on the power of the skill or by its growth?

    Because electromagnetic force was

    destruction, telepathy could attain

    immortality, so that was why it was even more expensive? Tang Lin really did not understand this benchmark.

    As for the price, apart from the “haha”, Tang Lin really didn’t know what else to say.

    This was also a skill that he couldn’t afford. Tang Lin only took a few glances and skipped it.

    [Gold Skill: Spatial Teleportation Level 1]

    [Source of Skill: The plane of the X-Men, En

    Sabah Nur (Apocalypse)]

    [Skill Effect: Activates the teleportation

    position and transfers matter within range to

    another location.]

    [Remark: Teleportation ability is not rare in

    the intermediate planes, but this

    teleportation ability can teleport many

    people. It’s considered good value for money.]

    [Skill Exchange Price: 10000 Wish Power points. As it comes from an enemy formation,

    the exchange price is increased by 50%. Actual price: 15000 Wish Power points.]

    [Gold Skill: Psychic Barrier Level 1]

    [Source of Skill: The plane of the X-Men, En

    Sabah Nur (Apocalypse)]

    [Skill Effect: Unleashes an invisible protective

    force field. It can isolate both physical and

    energy attacks, but it can’t isolate the

    invasion of a spiritual power.]

    [Remark: If you can develop this ability to the

    extreme, you will have an indestructible

    shield. However, the existence of the shield

    will continuously consume your strength. Be careful not to be drained.]

    [Skill Exchange Price: 10000 Wish Power

    points. As it comes from an enemy formation,

    the exchange price is increased by 50%. Actual price: 15000 Wish Power points.]

    [Gold Skill: Gathering Sand into a Pagoda

    Level 1]

    [Source of Skill: The plane of the X-Men, En

    Sabah Nur (Apocalypse)]

    [Skill Effect: Extracts sand and metal

    elements from the ground and condense them

    into different shapes, but not everything buried underground can be controlled.] [Remark: Brick-moving skill. From now on, you will be a minor expert in infrastructure. However, the upper limit of this skill is not as high as you think.]

    [Skill Exchange Price: 10000 Wish Power

    points. As it comes from an enemy formation,

    the exchange price is increased by 50%. Actual price: 15000 Wish Power points.]

    [Gold Skill: Super Self-Healing Level 1;]

    [Source of Skill: The plane of the X-Men, En Sabah Nur (Apocalypse)]

    [Skill Effect: Quickly heals bodily injuries and greatly extends lifespan.]

    [Remark: The person who obtains this ability

    will often become a pervert who loves self-harm. Please take note.]

    [Skill Exchange Price: 10000 Wish Power

    points. As it comes from an enemy formation,

    the exchange price is increased by 50%.

    Actual price: 15000 Wish Power points.] Self-healing ability was what Tang Lin wanted the most. Not only was his life guaranteed, but he could also live forever. It was simply a superpower of his dreams. However, as he didn’t have enough Wish

    Power points, he could only look on with

    regret.

    Poverty was a disease. When it acted up, it really made people despair. Tang Lin couldn’t afford Magneto’s and Apocalypse’s skills. In the end, he only had two superpowers that he could afford.

    [Silver Skill: Steel Wings Lv1] and [Silver Skill: Psionic Weapon Lv1]

    It was not clear why Ororo’s ability to control

    the weather wasn’t on the exchange list. Perhaps it was because she had been taken

    away.

    The steel wings option was a clear no. If Tang

    Lin grew a pair of wings, he wouldn’t be able to face anyone. The psionic weapon was quite cool, but it seemed to only be cool. What was the point of condensing a light sword? It’s not as if he was not a Jedi Knight.

    Coupled with the fact that this ability was too conspicuous and would increase Tang Lin’s chances of being exposed, this was not good value for money. Faced with these unsuitable skills, Tang Lin

    was reluctant to spend this hard earned Wish Power points. If he encountered a suitable skill the next time he transmigrated and didn’t have enough Wish Power points, his

    poverty disease would flare up again, causing his heart to ache.

    He had originally decided to give up, but Tang

    Lin pulled down and realized that there were other skills.

    [Bronze Skill: Firearm Mastery Level 1]

    [Source of Skill: The plane of the X-Men, Konrad Adenauer]

    [Skill Effect: Strictly trained soldiers have some understanding of most common firearms. They can guarantee the most basic

    marksmanship.]

    [Remark: Firearms are the common and basic weapons, but this skill can only be used on individual firearms. Apart from offering better value for money, it has no other advantages.]

    [Skill Exchange Price: 100 Wish Power points. As it comes from an enemy formation, the exchange price is increased by 50%. Actual price: 150 Wish Power points] [Bronze Skill: Full Driving Level 1]

    [Source of Skill: The plane of the X-Men, Konrad Adenauer]

    [Skill Effect: Able to drive most types of vehicles, ships, and planes proficiently.] [Remark: Apart from special machinery like steamrollers and spaceships, the other daily and military vehicles can be easily controlled.

    Not everyone can master so many driving skills at once.]

    [Skill Exchange Price: 100 Wish Power points. As it comes from an enemy formation, the exchange price is increased by 50%. Actual price: 150 Wish Power points] [Bronze Skill: Combat Mastery Level 1]

    [Source of Skill: The plane of the X-Men, Konrad Adenauer]

    [Skill Effect: Proficient in military unarmed and cold weapon combat skills.] [Remark: A combat technique produced by the

    military. Every move is designed to be fatal and crippling. It has to be used in the most efficient way to make the target lose their combat ability. Civilians, please do not imitate.]

    [Skill Exchange Price: 100 Wish Power points. As it comes from an enemy formation, the exchange price is increased by 50%. Actual price: 150 Wish Power points] Tang Lin could only guess that Konrad Adenauer was one of the soldiers on the two

    helicopters, but he didn’t know which one it was. From the description of these skills, Conrad Adenauer was a veteran soldier for

    sure.

    Unfortunately, even veteran soldiers are defenseless against the mutants. He could not afford to exchange the Gold

    skills, and the Silver skills were not suitable. However, the Bronze skills were worth

    considering.
