Chapter 745: Fool Skill

A white light flashed and vanished.

Covered by the system-shielded attack effect.

He could hardly react. Tai Er looked in astonishment at the protective shield that appeared after he was attacked.

Before he could figure out what was going on, he instantly felt his thoughts dulling.

Fool!

Staring intently at Tai Er's expression, Lin An activated the Fool skill without changing his expression.

Sorry.

It's you who came to your own door.

Wondering how to test it, Lin An simply went crazy testing on Tai Er.

White lights flashed one after another, instantly drawing the attention of those around.

"What's going on!!"

Unable to see the Judgment skill's special effects, many Awakened Ones nearby curiously looked over.

"Is Lin An attacking Tai Er?"

"Has he gone crazy!!"

"Can't cause any damage outside the trial tower..."

Some gossip-loving Awakened Ones looked at Fiona in the team, couldn't help but chuckle and start discussing.

"I heard that this leader of the Soviet theater has a good relationship with Fiona."

"Is it because he's jealous of Lin An over Fiona?"

Seeing the frightened Fiona and Zhang Yong, everyone confirmed their guess.

"I guess maybe Lin An got too close to Fiona, and Tai Er simply showed he's already Rank Three, warning Lin An to get lost."

"Lin An, frustrated and flustered, kept activating his skill?"

Everyone talking at once.

The onlookers instantly imagined a melodramatic drama.

Especially Fiona, who looked like she wanted to stop Lin An but didn't know what to do.

This only made them more certain.

"I thought Lin An wasn't simple before."

"Turns out he'd do something like this..."

A rather gossip-prone Awakened One clicked his tongue twice, pointing at the continuously flashing white light.

"Even in the apocalypse, still fighting over a woman—I really don't know how they've survived this long..."

"Look at Leader Tai Er—he doesn't care about the attack at all."

Another person chuckled and patted the shoulder of the man who had been clicking his tongue in amazement:

"You just wouldn't understand."

"Fiona is famous for her kindness, strong strength, and powerful influence."

"If it were me, after discovering how high the trial difficulty is, I'd definitely not be able to resist clinging to her thigh."

"You guys haven't noticed?"

"Lin An seems to be a psychic type, and Fiona is also dual-type."

"Do you think he should try to get closer?"

"He Lin An didn't go up to Rank Three—doesn't that mean he didn't gather enough points?"

After the joking discussion, the crowd lost interest here and paid more attention to the Awakened Ones continuously entering the trial tower to prepare for promotion to Rank Three.

"I..."

His expression dazed.

Tai Er stood frozen in place, mouth slightly open.

Before him was Lin An continuously using his skill.

Twenty-three times...

Counting the number of skill activations silently, Lin An finally stopped.

Under system protection it couldn't cause damage, but the Fool's rule-level ability is a negative effect.

It seems it can break through the protection.

After all, there's no damage.

Twenty-three times... this degree of intelligence reduction should be enough, right?

Watching Tai Er start to drool like an idiot, Lin An suddenly felt a bit reluctant.

I wonder if I didn't turn him into an idiot, did I?

"Lin An!"

"Tai Er meant no harm!"

His expression urgent.

As the person closest, Fiona could clearly sense that Tai Er had a problem.

Her heart pounded with shock.

"What other abilities does Lin An have!!"

"What kind of weird skill is this, actually able to break through system protection?"

She grabbed Lin An's arm with a tense face, her voice trembling:

"I've known him for a long time; he's not that kind of bad person."

"Lord Lin An, I... I... have nothing to do with him."

"Please spare him."

"I don't know why Lin An is doing this."

"Fiona, subconsciously, also mistakenly thought that Lin An was perhaps really because of Taylor's attitude toward her..."

"Hurry to clear the relationship."

"She indeed has nothing to do with Taylor; they really are just classmates."

"She is well aware of how terrifying Lin An is."

"Hearing outsiders discuss, actually saying Lin An was clinging to her thigh, she felt a sudden panic."

"My goodness, I and Zhang Yong were just watching the whole time, not even qualified to participate in the battle."

"I'm not that petty."

"Lin An glanced at Fiona in surprise, without further explanation."

"As for the outside world's greatly reduced evaluation of me?"

"It doesn't matter."

"In a death match, or even in the next trial, these people will know how ridiculous their ideas are."

"It won't affect him for long; he'll be fine soon."

"After a casual word of comfort, Lin An then turned somewhat curious and spoke to Taylor:"

"Points, transfer them to me."

"His expression was dazed."

"Taylor let out a soft sound, foolishly staring at Lin An, his expression suddenly struggling."

"Points... are important..."

"Give you... no..."

"He frowned slightly."

"Lin An looked at Taylor's struggling expression, realizing that even if his intelligence were reduced to the lowest, Taylor's obsession would still be restrained."

"Change the approach."

"Lin An softened his tone:"

"One can for one point."

"Canned food, that's extremely precious food..."

"He produced a yellow peach can, waving it twice in front of him."

"The obstacle to the trade should be a bit smaller than directly demanding."

"Especially, food is indeed very precious."

"Tilting his head, Taylor drooled, unable to resist reaching for the can."

"Food... precious..."

"Points... more precious!"

"Lin An was speechless."

"Really a troublesome guy."

"I didn't expect that after using the skill so many times, the other party still retained his intelligence."

"This Taylor is a bit greedy."

"Not even satisfied with one can."

"In his contemplation, Lin An completely ignored everyone's reactions."

"Zhang Tie covered his bald head, sympathetically looking at the foolish Taylor, secretly sighing."

"Captain Lin is scheming again."

"Knowing what abilities Lin An has, he can imagine what these testers will face if the test succeeds."

"A few minutes later."

"Returning to his own battle zone, Taylor looked solemnly at the three cans in his hand and a self-heating hot pot."

"His brows furrowed tightly, his thoughts racing."

"When did I bring this stuff in?"

"I remember I don't like eating yellow peaches..."

"All the Awakened Ones in the Soviet War Zone were even more worried, looking at their leader."

"Taylor, who is usually calm and composed, now looks as if he has encountered a century-old problem."

"President, what... happened to you?"

"Taylor waved his hand, countless possibilities arising in his mind, which he went through one by one."

"He only remembers seeing Fiona and greeting her."

"After returning, he found he had several more cans in his hand."

"Moreover..."

"I seem to be quite happy!?"

"Seeing that he had lost 14 points, he felt a deep suspicion rise in his heart."

"Where are my points!?"

"The points I barely managed to keep!?"

"His brows were almost twisted into a rope."

"Considering himself thoughtful and extremely cautious, he just couldn't figure out what had happened."

Gazing at the towering, mysterious Trial Tower.

His heart leapt suddenly, and he muttered to himself:

"Could it be..."

He lowered his head to look at the can in his hand, treasuring it greatly.

"Could it be that the system exchanged points for these cans for me!?"

"These cans are not ordinary cans, but some kind of mysterious Props? Or perhaps a clue?"

"Because they are too important, the system erased my Memory!!"

Holding the cans, Tai Er found the only reasonable explanation, and his hands trembled slightly.

"These cans, I must keep them safe! Unlock the mystery within!"

"Yellow peach... what exactly does it represent..."

Unnoticed by anyone, Tai Er's expression gradually became frenzied.
