Chapter 45 Chapter 45 [Everything you see is real...
Skill book! ?
Is this the skill she knows?
Ye Mian paused, tightened his grip on the cup slightly, then quietly closed the system interface and drank the corn juice in the cup bit by bit.
When everyone else had finished drinking and were ready to continue working, she and Lu Ning took the cups back.
After walking for a distance, Ye Mian reopened the system warehouse and looked at the hardcover book with gold edges inside. He saw that the cover wrapped the whole book tightly, and there were gorgeous and profound patterns printed on it.
It's like one of those old books that are just collected and then put away and never opened again.
And it seems that this book is indeed not meant to be read.
[Golden Skill Book: Allows you to learn a new optional skill or increase the initial skill level]
New skills? You can choose them yourself?
Ye Mian was stunned. Although she had just guessed it, this was still beyond her imagination.
"What's wrong?" Noticing that she stopped, Lu Ning also stopped.
"…We'll talk about it when we get back."
Fortunately, she didn't check when there were many people around, otherwise this subconscious reaction would be impossible to hide.
It's not that she is too cautious, but before the average loyalty of her new employees reaches above 80, she still has to be a little restrained regarding some of the good things given by the system.
Moreover, after Xue Kai's explanation, their understanding of the system is limited to the fact that this farm rooted here is magical, and from time to time some tasks are issued that require hard work to complete.
In his words, as a farmer, she should maintain a little mystery occasionally.
Otherwise, if they are too close, when there are more people around, private conversations will become difficult to control.
After returning to the small building, Ye Mian stopped Xue Kai who wanted to wash the cups, and motioned Lu Ning to sit down. Then he took out the skill book that looked a bit heavy but was actually very light from the system warehouse and placed it on the table.
"What is this?"
Without looking at Xue Kai who was asking the question, Ye Mian fixed his eyes firmly on the skill book and repeated its description.
The two people sitting at the dining table were stunned for a moment.
After a while, Xue Kai came back to his senses in surprise: "If I can choose by myself, wouldn't it be possible to have an extra combat skill!?"
Lu Ning was still a little stunned: "It should be."
Xue Kai couldn't help but have a hint of desire in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it: "Forget it. I wanted to go out and explore with you guys before, but now I have to take care of so many people and farm. I might even open a store in the future. There are too many things to do."
"Besides, I still don't really want to fight mutants."
When he finished speaking, Lu Ning returned to his usual calmness: "I don't need it either."
"Hmm?" Ye Mian hesitated between the two of them, and was more inclined to let Lu Ning use it. This way, if Lu Ning encountered any danger in the future, he would be able to protect himself better, and maybe he could even easily resolve some possible dangers.
Hearing her words, he couldn't help but look over and said, "Why? Don't you want to have an extra skill?"
Xue Kai also echoed: "Yes, Lu Ning, you are the best fighter among us. We all rely on you for our fighting power."
Meeting the two people's gazes, Lu Ning spread his hands helplessly: "I have to punch with one hand and hold a weapon with the other hand. I really don't have the extra energy to master other skills."
"Also, after the battle at the industrial park, it became clearer that if you want to further upgrade your skills, you must use them more."
"I want to perfect my current skills first."
She said this sincerely, not trying to shirk anything.
Xue Kai was convinced by her almost immediately, and then he turned around and looked at Ye Mian with her.
Although they didn't say anything, their meaning was very clear. They didn't need it, so of course it was most suitable for Ye Mian to use it himself.
It's not that they made the decision directly for Chen Jia and others, but after thinking about it, they couldn't think of any reason why others had to go out to fight after arriving at the farm. However, Ye Mian needed to complete the system task, and she had a portable warehouse, so she had to go out and collect any supplies she needed.
Ye Mian didn't say anything for a moment, but just reached out and touched the textured cover of the book, wondering whether he needed to learn new skills.
"Choose a combat skill. After all, our biggest enemy in the future may not be mutants."
But he is an evolver who can use his brain and be cunning.
Xue Kai did not say the latter part of this sentence. He believed that the three people present, including himself, understood this truth.
Seeing that Ye Mian seemed to be still a little hesitant, Xue Kai added fuel to the fire: "Besides, when there are more farm employees in the future, we will always need to come up with something to intimidate them, so that no one will be dissatisfied."
Lu Ning glanced at him coldly: "With me here, let's see who dares to disobey."
"Well, I just wanted to provoke the boss, why are you trying to sabotage me?"
“…”
Ye Mian looked at the two of them, a smile flashed in her eyes, and then she looked at the farm outside the door.
In fact, she has no particular desire to become stronger.
Since she first came to this world and became "Ye Mian", she has basically been pushed around by the system, wanting to complete tasks, upgrade the farm, recruit more employees to come back and help, and so on.
As for her own thoughts?
Maybe it is enough to just survive first, and then make sure you have enough food, warm clothes and good sleep.
After all, her original self must have been completely destroyed, she can't go back, and this body can't be returned to anyone. The best choice is to cherish this hard-earned new life.
I have never thought about life goals or whether I should become stronger.
Once you have combat skills, you will inevitably have to fight against mutants, and as a result, you will completely accept the changes in this world and integrate into it.
No longer a visitor from another planet.
"I am not the Ye Mian you see."
The two who were still waiting for her to make up her mind were stunned when they suddenly heard such words.
But soon, the two accepted this fact and showed expressions of no wonder and as expected.
Seeing that the two of them were not surprised at all, Ye Mian was a little surprised: "I'm serious, I'm not kidding."
Xue Kai chuckled: "We know. In fact, when I first met you for less than two days, Lu Ning and I discussed this matter quietly. I didn't expect that I guessed it right."
Lu Ning looked at her steadily: "It is you we know, and it is you who made us decide to follow. You are you, and it has nothing to do with which Ye Mian you are."
"Wow," Xue Kai rubbed his arms beside him, "Lu Ning, you are really good at talking. Teach me next time."
"puff."
Seeing Ye Mian smile, Lu Ning, who originally didn't want to pay attention to Xue Kai, coughed lightly and said, "Let's talk later."
Ye Mian slightly restrained her smile. She had originally planned to say a few more words so that the two of them could completely believe it, but now it seemed that there was no need for that.
As Lu Ning said, they already knew a brand new her, so from now on all they had to do was show her true self.
"Then wait until the next copy is available, and then you can decide who will use it."
After saying that, Ye Mian took the skill book and opened the exquisite cover.
The next second, the book in her hand turned into a golden light and penetrated directly into her body.
Then some words popped into my mind.
Please select skills from the following three categories:
attack
defense
Assistance
It turns out that this is self-selection.
She has absolutely no need for defensive skills, and as for auxiliary skills, she has no idea what they would be.
So Ye Mian chose the attack skill as he had just agreed.
[Congratulations on acquiring the skill [Fighting]! ]
[Your [Insight+] has been successfully upgraded to [Eye of Truth]]
[Everything you see is real. All darkness, hidden things, and disguises will be exposed in your eyes.]
ah?
After Ye Mian opened his eyes, he subconsciously looked at the two people sitting on each side.
[Lu Ning (Evolver), skill: [Absolute Strength+], she can possess enough power to crush everything, with no upper limit]
She is curious and concerned about you
[Xue Kai (Evolver), skill: [Solid Wall+], he will erect a wall to isolate the world outside and form his own territory]
[He trusts and relies on you immensely]
Seeing her looking over, Xue Kai couldn't wait to ask: "How is it? What skills did you choose?"
Although Lu Ning didn't say anything, his eyes were filled with curiosity.
"Fighting."
"ah……"
Just when the two were feeling a little regretful that this was a skill that required close combat and didn't seem to have any special power, they heard Ye Mian speak again.
"My insight has been upgraded once again."
Without pausing, Ye Mian told the two of them the effects of the [Eye of Truth], including her ability to see their hidden emotions.
"Didn't you say you have to choose one of the two?" Lu Ning was surprised and confused.
"Not only have you learned new skills, but you've also upgraded your original skills," Xue Kai's eyes lit up, and he was extremely envious. "Boss, you're so strong that the skill books are overly partial to you."
Ye Mian had never expected this situation. She even opened the farm information to confirm and found that her skills had indeed become [Eye of Truth] [Fighting], and her physical fitness had directly increased by 2, from the previous 4 to 6. Then she murmured.
"Maybe it's because I got a lot of good luck."
Hearing her words, the two of them turned their heads and looked outside the door at the same time. It seemed that they needed to get closer to their new colleagues!
Then, Lu Ning turned back and asked, "Want to practice?"
Ye Mian raised an eyebrow: "Come!"
Because the warehouse nearby was full of newly harvested crops, the two had no choice but to move to the grass next to the fish pond, and like last time, they each used different moves to engage in friendly competition.
Xue Kai didn't have time to do anything else and enthusiastically followed along to cheer on the team.
Perhaps because his physical condition had been strengthened again, Lu Ning, who had used too much strength at the beginning, was knocked down by Ye Mian before he could even react.
Later, she began to slowly increase her strength, until she had used nearly 60% to 70% of her strength, and finally she managed to push down Ye Mian, who was not just attacking but also using softness to overcome hardness.
Of course, they didn't use fists, but a wrestling-like grappling style.
Seeing Ye Mian lying on the grass panting, Lu Ning also sat aside: "You are much better, your formal skills are different."
Ye Mian smiled, raised his hand and clenched his fist: "Indeed."
She even felt that she was much stronger than when she was at her peak learning fighting, both in terms of strength and reaction speed.
Seeing the two of them lying down, Xue Kai clapped his hands and stood up: "Are you tired from fighting? Shall I prepare afternoon tea for the two ladies?"
Ye Mian glanced at the sunlight that was gradually turning dim, and was about to shake his head to say no, when he saw an unexpected text box pop up.
[Any employee's loyalty reaches 100 (1/1), experience +150, points +150! ]
