"Quality Rank: One-Star Ability. Prerequisite: Possess a complete physical body of an Upright Ape."
"Effect: When the Player equips this Skill, they will automatically master basic combat techniques, and their body will gain the physiological reflexes equivalent to experiencing a hundred combats and a thousand days of training. Advancement options exist."
"Note: 'Hands, elbows, knees, head, legs, shoulders—these are humanity's most primal, terrifying Weapons.'"
"Good Dream Technique"
"Quality Rank: One-Star Ability. Prerequisite: Both hands."
"Effect: After equipping, the Player can hypnotize any target possessing Wisdom who voluntarily accepts Hypnosis. The method of Hypnosis varies with location and time but must involve both hands, taking 30 to 300 seconds. Success plunges the target into deep Sleep."
"Note: 'I bloom amid slaughter, yet suffer from insomnia at night.' The Bald Assassin, resistant to most mind-affecting drugs, relied on his own hands he knew so well to quietly drift to Sleep during countless long nights."
After reading the descriptions of the two Skills, a message popped up on the interface: "Would you like to equip the item/Ability now?"
Upon confirmation, the screen switched to the Equipment Interface. The "Game Character" was displayed on the left and the "Equipment Slot" on the right.
The "Game Character" list was empty except for one entry: "Ren Naiser." Besides the name, Ren Suo also saw "Ren Naiser's" appearance—it was his own.
In the "Equipment Slot" were the "Ability Slot," "Props Slot," and "Reserve Slot."
If I'm not mistaken, after Ren Naiser equips an Ability, I'll most likely acquire the corresponding Ability myself...
Ren Suo recalled the voice he heard when he touched Mo Zhaolong. He knew the Mini-World Game Console was nearly fused with him. Therefore, if he equipped Abilities in the game console now, they would likely affect his own body.
However, Ren Suo found that he could only equip one Ability—because there was only one square in the Ability Slot.
Not just the Ability Slot, but the Props Slot and Reserve Slot also had only one square each, clearly allowing only a single item. Since both "Combat Basics" and "Good Dream Technique" were Abilities, they could only occupy the Ability Slot.
So, Ren Suo equipped "Combat Basics," placed "Good Dream Technique" into the Reserve Slot, and enthusiastically began experimenting.
If I'm right, I, who never fought before, am now a beginner in Combat Techniques who has trained for three years and been through over a hundred bouts!
Which adolescent plagued with delusions of grandeur hasn't wished they could smash gold and snap jade with a palm, or collapse mountains and sever rivers with a sword, wielding supreme martial power at will to reshape the world? Currently, the strongest individual combat forces in the Human World are soldiers and Fighters proficient in various combat skills. Disregarding Hot Weapons, the path for ordinary people aspiring to possess martial strength is to learn various Combat Techniques.
However, laziness and hardship were the obstacles preventing those with such delusions from acquiring martial power.
Ren Suo didn't know which country's style of Combat Technique this was, but it was certainly better than his own Bastard Punch.
Ren Suo stood up and paced around the living room, ready at any moment for Knowledge to be infused into his mind by some Invisible Presence X.
What would it feel like? Would my head hurt? Or would it feel amazing to gain a massive amount of Knowledge in an instant?...
After fifteen minutes of walking, Ren Suo realized nothing had happened.
He decided to test himself. He looked at the white wall beside him, raised his fist, and smashed it fiercely—
As Ren Suo attempted to Attack the wall, he found his waist sinking and his lower body gripping the ground tightly. His shoulders and waist operated in a way he didn't understand as immense Force burst from his body, his entire weight pressed onto his fist—
Ren Suo immediately cried out in pain, squatting down and clutching his fist, which had turned a deep purplish-red.
He looked at the white wall. The wall was very clean, as if it were saying, "Hmph, foolish humans."
Ren Suo now believed he had indeed acquired the 'Combat Basics' Ability, which only manifested automatically when he needed it. But the problem was, Ren Suo's current body wasn't that of a Fighter; he was an ordinary person who didn't exercise regularly!
'Combat Basics' was supposed to enhance his combat power, but Ren Suo's own Physical Condition was mediocre at best. After enhancement, he might be able to fight a few thugs. However, if he encountered someone with Weapons, he likely couldn't even block and would be overwhelmed instantly.
"Let's switch to a different Ability," Ren Suo shrugged and gently closed his eyes.
According to the system's guidance, he didn't need to activate the Mini-World Game Console; he could change the equipped Ability directly.
Sure enough, as his consciousness sank, he naturally sensed the Equipment Slot's presence.
The Props Slot was empty. The Ability Slot contained 'Combat Basics,' and the Reserve Slot had 'Good Dream Technique.' With a thought, 'Combat Basics' and 'Good Dream Technique' switched places, both entering a grayed-out Status.
After a 10-second cooldown, he equipped 'Good Dream Technique.'
According to the description, the 'Ability Slot' was for equipping intangible, Knowledge-type Abilities. The 'Props Slot' was for tangible, strengthening-type items. The 'Reserve Slot' was for temporarily unused Abilities or props; these could be swapped out by the Player as needed.
But how do I use 'Good Dream Technique'?
This move seemed to be Hypnosis, but Ren Suo had no Knowledge of Hypnosis in his mind. How can I verify this Skill's authenticity?
Ren Suo re-read the description of 'Good Dream Technique.' He noted the prerequisite was 'both hands,' and the effect description also mentioned using both hands. So, he looked at his own hands, deep in thought.
Using hands on a human body... other than stroking and... that, what else is there? For the moment, Ren Suo couldn't think of any other actions.
However, as he idly watched his hands, Ren Suo found the twitching of his fingers rather interesting. He attempted to make his fingers trace whimsical paths—flipping, circling, crossing, rotating...
DING-DONG. DING-DONG.
Lying on the floor, Ren Suo grunted and wiped drool from the corner of his mouth. He found himself on the couch, with someone ringing the doorbell.
It was another delivery: the games 'Heroic Unrivaled 8' and 'Evil Spirits Curse 2,' which he had ordered with the Hell 4PRO console.
However, although the Hell 4PRO console had been unboxed for three days, Ren Suo hadn't turned it on even once.
He looked out the window and realized it was the morning of the next day—he had actually fallen asleep on the couch last night while playing with his fingers!
Yet, Ren Suo felt refreshed and clear-headed. His mind was exceptionally alert, and he had a faint sense of Understanding. This must be the effect of 'Good Dream Technique,' he realized.
Ren Suo put the game discs and Hell 4PRO console aside. After all, it was something he had coveted for many years. He didn't want to return it, thinking he might find time to play in the future.
Then Ren Suo turned to his new favorite: the Mini-World Game Console.
"Minor World, endless fun!"
