The group had checked into rooms and were now each taking a rest.
Zheng Cheng, pretending to feel unwell, had deliberately booked a large bed room.
Under Chen Xiao’s ambiguous gaze, they separated into their own rooms.
After washing away the day’s fatigue, Zheng Cheng took today’s loot out of his inventory.
A Bloodthirsty Staff.
A Flame Lizard Beast Egg.
And the last skill book.
He picked up the Bloodthirsty Staff first.
“The biggest advantage of the Bloodthrusty Staff is the attached Bloodthirsty
Spell. ”
Zheng Cheng shook his head: “It’s a pity I’m neither a Beast Master nor a Summoner. It would have been fun having a horde of minions attacking the enemy while I fling the Bloodthirsty Spell around from behind.”
“I can’t possibly use the Bloodthirsty Spell on Chen Xiao! I wonder what effect it would have on Brother Ji if he were to be affected by the Bloodthirsty Spell…”
Thinking of a crazed Brother Ji, Zheng Cheng’s smile became somewhat strange.
“Alas, it’s not suitable for me. I can’t use the staff as a melee weapon, if only it had been a sword or something like that.”
“Hmm…”
Zheng Cheng suddenly stopped moving.
“The Bloodthirsty Spell… Bloodthirsty Spell…’
He remembered during the dungeon run, the two Fire Rats that were targeted by the Flame Ratman BOSS’ spell.
First, they went crazy due to the Bloodthirsty Spell and then he casted the Acute Gastroenteritis Instant Eruption Technique on them.
The two Fire Rats, affected by diarrhea and anal fissures, immediately lost their ability to move.
The chance of anal fissures bursting had directly increased to a hundred percent!
“The Bloodthirsty Spell can speed up the blood flow in the body, resulting in a power surge.”
“As for my Acute Gastroenteritis Instant Eruption Technique, it can cause the target to explosively get diarrhea in a very short time, with a chance of causing anal fissures.’
“Adding the two together… wouldn’t that mean that a target affected by the Acute Gastroenteritis Instant Eruption Technique would have a hundred percent chance of experiencing anal fissures!”
“Holy shit…”
The image was too beautiful, Zheng Cheng didn’t dare to imagine.
He excitedly put away the Bloodthirsty Staff: “Tomorrow, I’ll try it out in the dungeon. If it does work, wouldn’t that be a trump card for me!”
Next, he picked up the Flame Lizard Beast Egg and examined it closely.
Despite observing it and trying to sense something from the shell, he felt nothing at all.
“A dead egg, it’s of no use…”
Zheng Cheng shook his head: “Looks like, I can only go back and fry an egg.”
“Or, should I try the Random Dissection Technique?”
“What could possibly be dissected from an egg?”
As soon as he said that, he immediately took out the Ordinary Long Knife.
Poor Ordinary Long Knife, after three rounds in the dungeon today, its durability was near exhaustion.
With a backhand slash, it struck the beast egg.
A flash of light flickered and the beast egg cracked open. In Zheng Cheng’s hand, there appeared a red piece of meat.
The Ordinary Long Knife had shattered into pieces all over the floor.
After a day of strenuous fighting and having dissected the Flame Lizard Beast Egg, it finally broke.
[The skill is successfully executed!]
[You obtained the Food Ingredient: Flame Lizard Beast Egg Yolk.]
[Food Ingredient: Flame Lizard Beast Egg Yolk]
[Quality: Two-star]
[Effect: Consuming this permanently increases Spirit by 3 points, Flame Resistance +1%, Levitating Ability +1%, up to ten consumed.]
[Description: The Flame Lizard Beast Egg Yolk is the most essential part of the beast egg.]
“It really can be done! It actually enhances spirit, and fire resistance!”
Zheng Cheng exclaimed in surprise: “But this Levitating Ability… what kind of attribute is that?”
“Can you fly?”
Zheng Cheng, now on the sixth floor of the hotel, looked down at the bustling crowd below, eager to test it out.
“Forget about it, there are so many people below. I’ll test it some other time…”
He opened his mouth and sucked the egg yolk right in.
There was no fishy taste, instead, there was a slight warmth to it.
Seconds later, a surge of heat flowed throughout his whole body.
His Spirit attribute had once again increased by 3 points!
Reaching a total of 34 points!
“Phew…”
He took a deep breath, and then he looked at the random reward he had received after completing the dungeon.
A skill book!
[Skill Book: Sacrificial Fire]
[Effect: Consumes mental strength, allowing teammates to be enveloped by sacrificial fire, causing anyone that touches the sacrificial fire to have their spirit burned, leading to damage.]
[Usage Restriction: Mental Strength 15; limited to roles such as shamans, priests, and clerics.]
“Sacrificial Fire…the skill used by the Fire Rat Boss.”
Zheng Cheng recalled the pale blue flames that had burned on him when he was attacking a fire rat.
He had been hit by the Sacrificial Fire during the attack, and his mind felt as though it had been pierced by a needle.
Had it not been for his strong mental power, he would have fallen to the ground right then!
“I can just learn this Sacrificial Fire, I wonder what effect it will have…” Thinking so, he did not hesitate and chose to learn it immediately.
The Sacrificial Fire skill book in his hand turned into a beam of white light, pouring into Zheng Cheng’s forehead.
Instantly, an indistinct cyan skill rune appeared slowly in his mind, gradually taking shape.
By the side of the Sacrificial Fire skill rune were two skill trees, resembling two large trees intertwining.
At their roots, were two skill runes, sparkling with an inexplicable light.
Acute Gastroenteritis Instant Eruption Technique!
Random Dissection!
The Sacrificial Fire skill rune was slowly forming, and just at this moment, the two skill trees suddenly radiated a faint light.
The skill tree representing the Acute Gastroenteritis Instant Eruption Technique stretched out a branch, slowly winding around the Sacrificial Fire skill rune!
Accompanied by the movement of the skill tree, the structure of the Sacrificial Fire skill rune bizarrely transformed!
A robotic prompt also chimed in his mind.
[You have learned a new skill: Sacrificial Fire…Zzzz…Skill rune disorder…]
[System adjustment…successful adjustment!] [You have learned a new skill: Void Fire Burning Technique!]
“Holy shit… as expected, it mutated again!”
Zheng Cheng took in a sharp breath, Sacrificial Fire mutated into.. Void Fire Burning Technique?
What the hell sort of skill is this!?
He turned his attention to the explanation of the Void Fire Burning Technique.
[Void Fire Burning Technique (Int/LV1): Change Ability. Consumes personal mental strength to ignite Void Fire within the target’s body, thus spreading throughout the body, inflicting significant damage on the target. The greater the fluctuation of the target’s mental state or emotional changes (including anger, sadness, fear, etc.), the higher the quality of the ignited Void Fire, and therefore, the greater the damage.]
“The greater the target’s emotional fluctuation or emotional change, the more damage inflicted?”
“Anger, sadness, fear…”
Zheng Cheng blinked and hesitated, “Is this… an offensive skill?”
“Why do I feel it’s more like a taunt?”
“So, the angrier and more emotional the target, the stronger this Void Fire.”
“Looks like… when killing monsters, I need to find a way to make the BOSS angry?”
After learning this mutated skill, Zheng Cheng’s personal attributes underwent profound changes! [Name: Zheng Cheng] [Job: Priest] [Star Rating: Three Stars] [Level: LV4] [Soul Strength: 658/1000]

“I should go sleep now. Tomorrow, I will first buy a blank weapon, then go to the Fire Rat Den dungeon.”
“I can still eat 14 Fire Rat tails, I wonder if there are any other special ingredients….”
