Chapter 30: Universal Rainfall

I can't say there are many; I can only say that an old player like me has one per person.

Shuigu Tang walked around the room looking for anything to eat, found none, then went back to the bed and plopped down, saying with a hint of disgust, "What, you still want to train on your own? I advise you to give up; by the time you master it, the daylilies will have gone cold."

Moreover, this Spell-type Skill is different from ordinary Skills; it cannot be upgraded by training alone, it requires Insight.

Do you understand Insight? If you didn't score at least 690 on the college entrance exam, don't daydream.

Chen Shicheng sneered inwardly; others rely on Insight, but I rely on Merit Points, I can handle whatever, you know nothing! "Tell me the price, I'll buy it."

You won't shed a tear until you see a coffin; when you cry yourself to suicide you'll know what 'hard' means.

Shuigu Tang pulled out a jade tablet and placed it before Chen Shicheng, "Special offer, 10 gold, don't say I'm cheating you. Though each old player gets one, this thing isn't that easy to obtain."

Even death wants money.

Chen Shicheng casually tossed over a gold ingot weighing ten taels, snatched the jade tablet from the smiling Shuigu Tang, and chose to learn immediately.

【Universal Rainfall】

【Introduction: An auxiliary Spell of the Yi Wood Attribute; when cultivated to an advanced realm, it can animate dead flesh and bones.】

A simple introduction, but not simple content.

Unlike the light, fleeting memories that arise with ordinary Skills, the moment a Spell-type Skill is learned, even though Chen Shicheng's Divine Attribute reaches 8.7, he can't help but feel a Stun.

Countless Skill explanations, hand seals, Yi Wood spiritual energy insights, methods of circulating Qi and focusing the mind rushed into his mind as if money were irrelevant, overwhelming him.

It took more than ten minutes before he could barely organize the Skill's content and gain a preliminary understanding of the Spell.

As Shuigu Tang said, cultivating this Spell-type Skill is extremely difficult; even though there's an entry‑level as soon as you learn it, the subsequent cultivation methods are for him as incomprehensible as a primary school student tackling calculus, utterly impossible to start.

Moreover, the gap between each level is like a sky trench; when first learned, the entry‑level Universal Rainfall can at most spur a bit of plant growth.

Not to mention limb regeneration; even making him a bit more comfortable would be a huge favor.

"So, you see how hard it is, right? But sorry, no refunds on sales!"

Seeing Chen Shicheng open his eyes, Shuigu Tang quickly stored the gold, still bearing bite marks, into the storage slot, saying cautiously.

"No refunds; consider it an enrichment of your Skill reserves."

Chen Shicheng massaged his temples, easing the brain's Stun, then asked seriously, "Since you could locate me by my appearance and name, if I give you the appearance and name of the player who specializes in killing, how long would it take you to find him?"

"Do you really want to meet him in reality?" Shuigu Tang asked, frowning.

"If I don't kill him, my thoughts won't be clear, and I'm not a fool who would just charge in; I'd report to the police first. No matter how powerful he is, he's still a carbon‑based lifeform, I don't believe he's not afraid of firearms."

"After a volley of bullets, I'll rush out and slash him dead; the police won't suffer casualties, so it's a win‑win, right?"

Although Chen Shicheng's request was simple for Shuigu Tang, she thought for a moment and still shook her head, politely refusing.

"These days, you should lay low; if you run into the national team folks and they treat you as a criminal, that would be funny." Hearing this, Chen Shicheng tilted his head, looked at Shuigu Tang with puzzlement, and instantly recalled the story she told yesterday about being very lucky.

When he first got into the game, he already knew that although there's no information online, the state's power couldn't be unaware of it.

Thus the state has a unit whose core is game power, used to suppress these players; that's normal.

However, when players in C City were slaughtered, these forces didn't show up; now they suddenly appear near Iron Refining Town, combined with that "very lucky" incident, giving Chen Shicheng reason to suspect there may be a treasure or relic emerging here; otherwise, why would a money‑loving Shuigu Tang abruptly abandon her brothel job and come here?

"Is there some bargain here that even an old player like you eyes greedily?"

Knowing that Shuigu Tang belongs to the type who won't act unless she sees a rabbit, Chen Shicheng, while asking, casually took out a silver coin or two and flicked it in his hand.

Whoosh!

Before Chen Shicheng could react, the silver was already in Shuigu Tang's hand; with his current eyesight, he didn't even see her movement clearly.

Sure enough, none of these old players are stingy; it's just unclear whether she used a Spell or sheer speed.

"Not bad, the youngster is teachable." Shuigu Tang tilted the silver's weight, saying satisfied, "Do you still remember the issue you mentioned about wild monsters disappearing?"

"Hmm, these past few days I've noticed the vanished wild monsters all migrating here; could it be related to what's about to happen here?" Chen Shicheng said, enlightened.

Bingo!

Shuigu Tang snapped her fingers, "I only just got word that something's happening inside Bu Xian Shan; according to other top players' speculation, it's very likely something good, most probably an ancient relic dungeon."

"So you should behave yourself lately; not only is the national team coming, but a batch of players who've gotten the news are also rushing here. The person you mentioned will probably lay low for a while, so you'd better not cause trouble, otherwise if someone happens to kill you, you won't have any ground to argue on."

She surveyed Chen Shicheng from head to toe, shook her head at his pitiful look, and said, "You've only been in the game a few days, at most level one; surviving under that murderous pervert is already lucky enough, so stop whining."

Chen Shicheng glanced at his panel; after another kill of Yu Wei, his Experience Points had reached Level 4 (78/100).

When his injuries heal, it will only take one day to reach Level 5, attaining the final tier of Body Refining Realm.

However, he neither explained nor corrected Shuigu Tang's mistaken perception of him, as the importance of a hidden card is self‑evident.

The woman before him had already obtained his real‑world phone number and could appear before him at any time in a completely new guise.

If she ever harbors ill intent, his level might catch her off guard, giving him a chance to escape.

"Alright, do you have anything else? I need to study the injury issue; you may leave." Chen Shicheng looked up at the open window, indicating Shuigu Tang could depart without disturbing him.

"Ugh, you jerk!"

Shuigu Tang happily stored a silver coin or two into the storage, jumped onto the window to leave, but before departing she kindly reminded, "Don't think about that Healing Skill; hurry and suicide to recover, don't miss the benefits of Bu Xian Shan, bye!"

Having said that, she pushed off her feet slightly, leapt onto the opposite roof, and floated away.
