Chapter 30: Skill Upgrade?
About half an hour later, Zhang Can’er woke up. She felt her head was extremely dizzy and her body was very weak, as if she hadn’t eaten for days.
As soon as she sat up, someone beside her helped her up. She turned her head and saw that it was Wan Feng.
“Thank you.”
“How do you feel? Do you want to eat something?” After helping her sit up, Wan Feng was already holding the last two bottles of milk. This was the most nutritious thing they could find.
Zhang Can’er nodded and took the milk Wan Feng handed her. At this moment, Ru Xi’s voice sounded in her mind.
‘Congratulations, your skill has been upgraded. I guess you must be eager to ask, so I’ll tell you. Your abilities all have levels, and everyone’s initial level is different. Some of the more mediocre ones have a white initial level, and some with better aptitude have a green quality.
‘Then there are those with talent who have a blue quality. After that is the purple quality for those with excellent talent. These people are the cream of the crop. Their only drawback is that they upgrade slowly. In other aspects, whether it’s spirit or skills, they are much more powerful than ordinary people.
‘Oh right, there are two more levels after that, which are gold and red. Red is the highest quality. But I’ve only seen three people reach this level. Alright, I’m done. I’m going to sleep. The damn Spirit Field insisted I come out and say this. Ah~ I’m so sleepy.’
When Zhang Can’er heard Ru Xi’s voice, she clearly paused for a moment. After hearing her out, she opened her skill panel. Looking at the two purple-framed skill lists, she felt a bit excited. So skills could be upgraded.
And two new seed creation options had appeared on her creation list, requiring only weeds.
One was Invisibility Carrot Seeds, and the other was Wind and Rain Rice Seeds.
This time, there was an explanation on the creation list.
Invisibility Carrot Seeds: Holding the seed allows for fifteen seconds of invisibility. Eating the fruit allows for one minute of invisibility. (Increases with level)
Wind and Rain Rice Seeds: Holding the seed can summon wind and rain once. Eating the cooked rice can summon wind and rain for one minute. (Increases with level)
Zhang Can’er looked at the simple and easy-to-understand explanation, her heart filled with excitement. She wanted to make those seeds right now, but when she saw the words written in the upper left corner of the skill panel, she suppressed the thought.
It read: Ability user, please recuperate your body before making seeds!
Wan Feng looked at the dazed Zhang Can’er. She wanted to call out to her but was afraid of disturbing her. Just as she was hesitating, Zhang Can’er came back to her senses.
“Sister Feng, my skill has been upgraded. I just found out that skills can be upgraded,” Zhang Can’er said happily to Wan Feng, the excitement in her eyes almost overflowing.
Wan Feng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but she quickly accepted it and returned a smile. “Congratulations.”
Zhang Can’er was very happy, especially when she saw Wan Feng smiling at her. Usually, Wan Feng’s smiles were very reserved. Today, she saw Wan Feng’s full smile. It was beautiful, so beautiful that her mouth felt a bit dry.
Taking a big gulp of milk didn’t quench her thirst at all. Zhang Can’er threw herself at Wan Feng and nuzzled in her arms like a child.
It was as if this could alleviate the thirst in her heart a little.
Zhang Can’er straightened up and asked casually, “Where are Xiao Feng and the others?”
Wan Feng’s ear tips were red. She let out a hot breath. “They’re clearing the bushes. We need to clear that place out quickly. I’m afraid something will happen if we stay here for too long.”
Zhang Can’er nodded, put the two empty milk cartons into an empty bag, and then ate a lot of bread and meat snacks. Only then did her stomach feel like it had something in it.
She didn’t eat much. Zhang Can’er didn’t dare to eat too much. It was enough to fill her stomach a little.
“Aren’t you going to eat more? You don’t seem full,” Wan Feng said, taking out another bag of chicken drumsticks.
“No, the snacks from the small shop are not enough for the few of us. Not to mention those of us with skills, even those without skills probably haven’t eaten their fill.”
“These things won’t be left when we get to Starshine City. They will definitely be confiscated. There’s no need to save them.”
Wan Feng’s words made Zhang Can’er stunned for a moment, but she still shook her head. “There’s still a long way to go. We don’t know what will happen later. Saving them is a guarantee for the future.”
Hearing this, Wan Feng didn’t try to persuade her anymore and got out of the car with Zhang Can’er.
When they reached Xiao Feng and the others, they all ran over to ask about her well-being.
“Sister Can’er, are you okay? You must not force yourself if something is wrong.”
“Yeah, Sister Can’er. You must take good care of yourself. I won’t make you angry again.”
“If he makes you angry again, I’ll help you beat him up!”
Zhang Can’er smiled at them, a rare gentleness in her eyes. “I’m fine. It has nothing to do with Xiao Hou. My skill was upgraded, so I fainted. It was probably too much consumption.”
She wasn’t actually sure if it was because of the skill upgrade, but this could at least reassure them.
“Skill upgrade? Never mind. As long as Sister Can’er is okay.” Xiao Feng said with a grin.
Zhang Can’er smiled and patted her on the head, her eyes filled with the affection of an older sister. “Listen to me carefully. This will be beneficial for you all later.”
Hearing this, the group all nodded.
Afterward, Zhang Can’er told them what Ru Xi had said.
“So skills have so many levels? Then when will my green one be upgraded?” Xiao Feng said.
Zhang Can’er shook her head. “I don’t know about that. It feels like upgrading is very random.”
Hearing this, Xiao Feng was not discouraged. She smiled and hugged Xiao An. “Xiao An and I will definitely work hard and strive to upgrade to blue quality as soon as possible.”
“By the way, it seems we haven’t learned about each other’s skills, have we? Should we talk about it?” Xiao An said with a small blush.
Zhang Can’er had no objection and explained her skills in detail.
“Wow! Sister Can’er’s skill feels so overpowered. Having this one skill is like having countless skills. Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder Sister Can’er is so amazing. I’m getting jealous,” Xiao Feng said with a grin.
“What about yours?” Zhang Can’er asked with a smile. She gladly accepted what Xiao Feng said, as her skill was indeed very powerful.
“Mine is to create fireballs. It requires mental power to create, and each time I throw one, it consumes a bit of my stamina. Yesterday, I was also at my limit. I couldn’t have thrown any more,” Xiao Feng replied.
Xiao An thought for a moment and then said, “My fish-summoning skill consumes mental power. The more fish, the more my stamina will be consumed. But my mental power will also be consumed greatly. But I feel that Xiao Feng and I can last for a long time these days. We’re not as weak as before. I feel like we might be about to upgrade.”
Zhang Can’er nodded. After talking for a while longer, she went to clear the bushes with everyone.
At first, Xiao Feng and the others were unwilling, but under Zhang Can’er’s strong request, they still agreed.
It was not until around eight in the evening that the group finished work. Covered in sweat and broken leaves, everyone felt a bit uncomfortable. But there was nothing they could do. They could only use a bottle of water to clean themselves up a bit.
