Chapter 18

Swish, swish, swish, swish!

In the special skill experience area, He Ping's figure continuously darted around the simulated environment. Although the Flash skill could only be used once a day at his current level, in the experience area, he could use it freely. Thus, He Ping kept using the Flash skill, enjoying himself immensely.

"Really refreshing! If only there was a cheat that could lock the skill cooldown to zero, infinite flashing! Then I could just play to death anyone I don't like!" Actually, this system was already a cheat. If he added another cheat on top of it, it would truly be overpowered. Unsatisfied, He Ping played in the experience area for a while longer before stopping and began to experience other skills, starting with the first one he saw: Camouflage.

This was a good skill, especially for He Ping. For one hour after use, as long as he stood next to any environment, his body would blend in with the surroundings, like a chameleon. For example, if he stood next to a tree, he would become part of the tree, and the same applied to other places. However, the camouflage would fail as soon as he moved, reverting him to his original form, which was somewhat inconvenient.

Among the six special skills, Conceal and Space corresponded to Camouflage and Flash, which He Ping had already tested. There were four other skills: Strength, Speed, Reaction, and Time. The corresponding usable abilities for these four skills were Super Strength, Sprint, Perception, and Replay. Super Strength and Sprint were instant skills, similar to Flash, providing a significant boost in power and speed for the next attack and movement. Perception and Camouflage were both continuous skills; Camouflage hid oneself, while Perception enhanced the ability to detect others.

He Ping found these skills quite useful, especially in his current situation, being alone in a strange world. These skills could be life-saving in critical moments. However, the Replay ability of the Time skill left him a bit puzzled. Simply put, this ability could replay events that occurred in a specific area over the past hour, starting from the current time point, in the form of a holographic video. It could be fast-forwarded, rewound, and paused, but He Ping couldn't imagine what use this skill might have right now.

Thus, he allocated five skill points to the other five skills except Time, and he learned five usable abilities. On the skill table, these five skills were now at level one, but the next level's usable abilities were blank, indicating that no new abilities were available at the next level. This made He Ping a bit disappointed. Seeing no new things here, he clicked on the Extra Skills tab.

In the Extra Skills tab, there were two secondary tabs: Current World and All Worlds. However, no matter which secondary tab he clicked, the table that appeared was the same, similar to the previous special skills table. The names column listed "Long Weapon Proficiency," "Short Weapon Proficiency," "Assassination Weapon Proficiency," "Ranged Weapon Proficiency," and "Odd Weapon Proficiency" from top to bottom.

The next level's usable abilities column listed "Staff Proficiency," "Flail Proficiency," "Dagger Proficiency," "Crossbow Proficiency," and "Flexible Weapon Proficiency" from top to bottom.

"Truly worthy of the Weapon World! Even the extra skills are weapon proficiencies, but these skills aren't very useful to me. I don't plan to specialize in them, and if I want to learn them, I can just do so directly without using skill points, which are a precious resource of only 10 points." He Ping muttered to himself while testing the power of these skills. Surprisingly, he instantly understood how to use the corresponding weapons, and even after the test, some muscle memory remained.

"Alright, had enough fun, time to get to work. It's about time to settle accounts with Brian. With the help of these skills, the chances of finding Brian without anyone noticing have increased significantly!" Gurgling... He Ping's words were interrupted by the sound of his stomach. Come to think of it, he hadn't eaten anything since lunch in Zhao Zheng's tent. However, He Ping wasn't worried about filling his stomach.

He waved his hand, and an opaque vacuum-sealed bag appeared in his hand. Opening it, he revealed the contents: compressed biscuits! This item was also a military product, so it appeared in the sample library. When He Ping discovered this item and various canned goods a few hours ago, he was quite excited. The Portable Armory's judgment still had some flaws; items like gunpowder and batteries were considered additional energy sources and were not available yet, but items for filling one's stomach could already be produced and sold.

He Ping was excited not only because he didn't have to worry about being hungry but also because he saw the potential for his first business deal from these items. Selling things to Zhao Zheng was no problem, but the question was what to sell. Weapons? He could only produce cold weapons, which wouldn't even satisfy Zhao Zheng's appetite. Armor? Kevlar armor was good, but it wasn't very effective against cold weapons, especially against impact. So, what else?

Among the other items, there weren't many that Zhao Zheng would be interested in. While these items could be sold, if Zhao Zheng looked down on him, future business would be difficult. It would be best to offer something that this world lacked, something very useful to Zhao Zheng and didn't require much. Military portable food was the first thing He Ping thought of. However, for the well-fed He Ping, the most pressing task at the moment was to infiltrate the military camp!

At this time, the Qingyang territory and the Lance Province were already in the night. Ordinary people had long gone to sleep, and even the military camp was quiet, with only a few sentry posts and patrol teams maintaining a lackluster vigil. He Ping silently appeared at the edge of the military camp, slowly moving toward a section of the wall. The Camouflage and Perception skills were already activated, allowing him to sense every movement around him. As long as he stopped, he would blend in with the surroundings.

First patrol team, successfully avoided! Second patrol team, successfully avoided! First sentry post, not detected! Second sentry post, not detected! Climbing the wall, success, no one detected! Inside the military camp, successfully avoided three patrol teams, no one detected! Successfully arrived at the largest commander's tent, still no one detected!

[PS: I've changed the genre from Urban Supernatural to Sci-Fi Time Travel. However, rest assured, the outline and basic direction of the book have been determined, and there won't be major changes due to the genre shift. Readers who collected the book in the Urban category can rest easy, and new readers in the Sci-Fi category are also welcome to collect the book.]
