My Salvation Game Became true?!

Chapter 50: Chapter 50 The Fourth Destiny Draw

Fang You opened An Jianyou’s panel and saw that this girl’s skill “Ghost Control” had risen from Beginner Level 51.1% to Beginner Level 84.4%.

Fang You: “???”

Was there something wrong? Shouldn’t it have zoomed up to the Proficient Level with a whoosh?

He glanced at the hint, which suggested, probably, maybe… that blue-grade skills were harder to train, and progressing to the Proficient Level was much more difficult than with white or green skills.

But that didn’t seem right either. An Jianyou’s proficiency in Ghost Control had been rising rapidly, gaining about 10% per day. He hadn’t expected…

“I thought An Jianyou was highly talented, but did I still underestimate her?”

“If this were a green-grade skill, and one that matched her compatibility, wouldn’t she be able to raise a skill from Beginner to Proficient Level in just three days?”

This girl was too fierce!

With her talent, even without the help of a Skill Book, she would probably learn various fitting special skills on her own; it was just unfortunate that she had none to learn.

When an opportunity arose, he should teach An Jianyou some basic skills, like swordsmanship or techniques for using a blade—either would do.

It wasn’t that she needed to fight hand to hand with Mysterious Evil—she probably wouldn’t manage that, likely ending up trembling and then game over… After all, An Jianyou naturally had no combat experience and didn’t really need it.

But, basic skills could enhance one’s physique, and a strong physique not only meant running faster when in danger but could also make Miss An’s life energy more abundant. And, in his view, such real-world skills could be completely mastered with persistence and effort.

Still, she would need someone to teach her.

In the Angel Envoy’s “Training” option, why wasn’t there a self-learning option for basic skills? She could’ve definitely developed them on her own!

If there was such an option, he could assign An Jianyou another self-study task. Though arduous, this kind of training that didn’t require much brainpower, just moving your body, was a blessing.

At that moment,

An Jianyou had already emerged from the ‘skill training’ state, tears streaming down her face. These were tears of gratitude, Fang You understood.

He had intended only to give An Jianyou a one-time experience of diligence and effort, but it hadn’t yet reached the Proficient Level, which didn’t showcase his mentoring ability. That wouldn’t do.

Seeing An Jianyou’s extraordinary talent and that she was still in good shape, he decided to choose to train her once more.

With a great battle looming, it was best to increase An Jianyou’s level as early as possible, for tomorrow there would still be time to select a Xiao Hei Number Three.

Besides, the cost comes from what you harvest.

“An Jianyou’s efficiency today was extremely high, especially since I planned an optimal route for her to exterminate Mysterious Evil, greatly minimizing wasted time in transit.”

“In half a day, she eradicated seven Lesser Mysterious Evils, mainly because they were relatively clustered, mostly located in suburban areas. Three of them were quite strong, and although they couldn’t compare to the construction site Mysterious Evil, they weren’t far behind.”

But An Jianyou had switched to the new version of Xiao Hei Number One, and she was not weaker than these kinds of Mysterious Evils. Amplified by her power, she struggled just a bit before KO’ing the Mysterious Evils.

The three slightly stronger Mysterious Evils dropped three white training cards in total; two were used on Miss An, leaving one spare.

Thanks to Miss An’s hard work, Fang You finally started to lead a more comfortable life.

…

“I… have I returned?”

An Jianyou was half-lying down, her legs clad in black thermal tights slightly curled, her eyes vacant, taking a while to come back to reality.

Actually, compared to learning the skill earlier, these last two experiences were small fry—an unpleasant ordeal, but like the weariness one feels after running several kilometers.

Especially since she had just finished her shift at work.

This counted as unexpected overtime.

“However, my Ghost Control seems to have gotten stronger, the suppression power has increased, allowing me to control stronger Mysterious Evils, and the number I can control has gone from two to three.”

What a significant change!

Time to capture a Xiao Hei Number Three, and this time, she could choose a slightly stronger one.

An Jianyou could now appreciate her mentor’s good intentions; if left to exercise on her own, she indeed lacked the willpower, but it was different when her body moved on its own.

Although… it was still really exhausting!

After the war is over, it shouldn’t be this exhausting.

…

“Ah, I’m still missing a Skill Training Card, otherwise I really want to upgrade An Jianyou’s Ghost Control to Master level.”

Increasing Ghost Control isn’t just about controlling more Mysterious Evils; it also raises the limit on what can be controlled.

At first, the Xiaos Hei numbers one and two that An Jianyou controlled were quite ordinary, at about 0.3 and 0.4 fate points.

If they were any stronger, control would become unstable, not conducive for actual combat.

After her awakening, her spirit power grew stronger and she gained life energy, immediately raising the control limit to around 0.6 or 0.7 fate points.

Now with a level up, an even higher limit, plus the amplification from her awakened ability… Speaking of which, the amplifying effect of An Jianyou’s abilities was much stronger than described in the skills. Perhaps talent also played a role.

The only flaw was that after the amplification, the level of Mysterious Evil became too high, leading to increased pollution in the surroundings; clouds of black qi kept emerging from Xiao Hei number one, terrifying to behold. This issue couldn’t be resolved for the time being.

Now, An Jianyou rarely let the Xiaos Hei out, fearing they would affect the neighbors… During combat, she would quickly summon them and just as swiftly call them back.

All in all, things were moving in a good direction.

Fang You tapped An Jianyou’s panel and returned to the game’s main interface. Thanks to the joint efforts of An Jianyou, Black Blade, and himself, their resources were abundant.

‘Mysterious Crystals: 19’

‘Fate Points: 28.6’

That was enough for the expense of the fourth fate drawing.

Although he had intended to save enough fate points, around 30 before drawing, the upcoming war left no time to wait.

Fang You put down his phone, took a serious bath, and bathed for half an hour.

He then took out the newly purchased incense and candles and sincerely offered them, “Oh right, this time I asked the Investigative Bureau for some Buddha Beads and talismans to research, but I forgot to ask for some incense and candles!”

Incense and candles weren’t part of the standard items. He mainly thought the items provided by the Investigative Bureau had to be more legitimate than what he could buy on the street.

A card draw needed a sense of ritual, a sense of ritual made it not too… maybe.

Glancing at the odds for the fourth ten-consecutive fate drawing, Fang You took a deep breath. Come on! Let’s go, my divine ten-draw!

The vortex of fate appeared once again, flashing with countless figures.

There were people, items, as if they were speaking, or even fighting. Fang You still couldn’t make it out clearly, his eyes glued to the vortex and watching as a brilliant light burst from within.

‘Acquired: Double Benefit Card (White)’

‘Acquired: Skill Training Card (White)’

‘Acquired: Skill Training Card (Green)’

Wow, this is good! It’s what I need! It’s just that the previous items were a bit…

As his thoughts flew, the light grew brighter.

Blue light! Purple light! All shone before his eyes.
