Chapter 142 Spatial Items? (Please Subscribe)

Of course, these are just his guesses based on what he is seeing now. He will only know the truth when he enters the next major realm.

Chen Fan took a deep breath and focused his gaze back on the skill bar.

Continue to improve.

This time, 20 experience points were consumed, and the familiar feeling surged back.

【Grasshopper: Mastery (0%), Traits: Lightness of Foot Lv. 4, Swiftness of the Wind Lv. 2】

No new features were unlocked.

Chen Fan was mentally prepared.

"There's only one proficiency level left. Hopefully, I can unlock another trait."

After adding 30 experience points, I could fly over the grass and finally reached the perfect state.

【Grasshopper: Perfect (cannot be upgraded), Traits: Lightness of Foot Lv. 5, Swiftness Lv. 3, Grasshopper Lv. 1】

【Grasshopper: Active skill. After activation, it continuously consumes a certain amount of stamina, increases the base agility attribute by 50%, and reduces stamina consumption by 50% when walking on grass. The effect increases by an additional 50% for each level.】

Chen Fan's eyes lit up; this was the core characteristic of this martial art.

Increases agility by 50%! This is useful for both long and short distances.

As a trade-off, it will consume more of your strength.

However, if you're on grass, energy consumption is reduced by 50%! Doesn't that fit the current wilderness environment perfectly?

"Not bad, and the total experience points consumed were less than 70, leaving more than 80. That should be enough to max out Water Skimming."

Chen Fan's gaze fell on [Water Strike], and he added points.

To his surprise, this time it only took two points.

He initially thought that the martial art of walking on water was inferior to the martial art of flying on grass. However, after glancing at the basic footwork, he discovered that the latter had been upgraded from level nine to level eleven and had also unlocked a new feature.

[Basic Movement Techniques: lv11 (13%), Lightness 11, Ethereal 8, Opening and Closing 5, Swiftness 1]

[Swift Travel: Each level increases travel speed by 30%, but this effect cannot be used in combat.]

A characteristic of being on the road.

Like Swift as the Wind, it is ineffective when the user is in combat.

"good."

Chen Fan thought to himself.

Compared to walking swiftly, this is a passive skill that does not require expending energy.

Our attention returned to [Water Strike]. Similar to the previous Grass-Walking ability, it also unlocked only one feature.

That is, to be light-body.

"continue."

Chen Fan invested 4 experience points this time.

The familiar feeling returned once again.

[Water Skimming: Slightly Proficient (25%), Characteristic: Lightness Level 2]

No new features were unlocked either.

Chen Fan continued to add points.

To his disappointment, the characteristic unlocked upon reaching the advanced level was also the ability to move with incredible speed.

It's repeated.

Chen Fan was speechless and could only console himself.

These two martial arts techniques can be used together, although it consumes double the energy, but what if? They can come in handy in case of any emergency in the future.

"I estimate that at the Great Completion stage, no new features will be unlocked; the Perfected stage is more likely."

He thought to himself, a little worried, that the characteristics unlocked by this perfect realm wouldn't be the same, would they?

Probably not.

With his proficiency level reaching its peak, Chen Fan looked at the skill panel.

【Water Skimming: Perfect (cannot be upgraded), Traits: Lightness Level 5, Swiftness Level 3, Skimming Water Level 1】

【Dragonfly Skimming the Water: Active skill. After activation, it consumes a certain amount of energy, increases base agility by 50%, and reduces energy consumption by 50% when walking on water. The effect increases by an additional 50% for each level.】

"..."

Chen Fan felt speechless.

They look different, but they're actually the same.

The only difference is that one is suitable for grasslands and the other for water surfaces.

Of course, this doesn't mean it's impossible. Using both together can increase agility by 100%, which is enough to determine the outcome of a battle.

The cost is double the energy expenditure.

I glanced at my experience points; there were less than twenty or thirty left.

Chen Fan yawned. His agility attribute had increased by 50 points in one night. Oh, if you include the increase in basic movement technique, it's even more. Pretty good.

He stood up and walked upstairs to his bedroom.

He threw the old bedding into the basement and replaced it with a new set.

As he lay down in bed, about to go to sleep, his gaze fell on a small booklet on the bedside table.

"Is it the bandit leader's diary?"

He had carried this diary with him ever since he wiped out the bandits, thinking about when he could take a look at it.

I still haven't seen it.

"Why don't we take this opportunity to take a look?"

He muttered something to himself and opened his diary to browse through it.

After reading a few pages, I roughly understood the bandit's background.

His name is Wu Bing. Like most people, he wandered around in this apocalyptic world, and finally settled down outside Anshan City with his family two or three years ago.

They seemed to have settled down, but they were still living in dire straits. People were attacked by ferocious beasts at night from time to time, and security incidents occurred frequently in their area. Every time he went out hunting, he would ask his wife and daughter to lock the door, and no one else could open it, no matter who knocked.

He had had enough of this life and vowed that one day he would let his family live in Anshan City.

Chen Fan frowned slightly. So, this guy is a good man? Then how did he become a ruthless bandit leader?

As he continued reading, his eyes widened in shock, and he flipped through several pages in a row.

Chen Fan's eyes narrowed slowly.

No wonder that guy surnamed Guan wanted to destroy Chen Family Village; it turns out I ruined his plans.

In the diary, this guy was spotted by a guy named Guan Dexi and became a bandit who made a living by robbing and stealing, handing over the money he stole to Guan Dexi.

The latter promised that as long as they worked hard, they could obtain a spot in Anshan City in as little as one year.

Wu Bing was full of enthusiasm. He knew that being a robber was wrong, but this way of making money was too fast, and it also allowed him to vent his negative emotions.

However, he gradually discovered that Guan Dexi did not keep his promise. Every time he asked when he would be qualified, the latter would say, "Soon, soon."

And so, a year passed, then two. Many of his former companions died, but he survived. He lived with his family outside Anshan City, accumulating a considerable amount of wealth and improving his life. Gradually, he began to consider retiring.

However, he soon discovered that he could not back out, because Guan Dexi would not allow it. He subtly threatened him, saying that if he dared to quit, his family would lose their lives.

Left with no other choice, he could only continue to work for the other party. In the end, he even found someone to build a band of bandits to make a living by robbing people everywhere. Eventually, he followed Guan Dexi to Songjiabao.

The diary was filled with regret, pain, and curses.

Chen Fan shook his head at the sight.

This guy has finally become the person he hated. He should have thought of this when he agreed to do this.

Of course, Guan Dexi was no good person either; in fact, he was the mastermind behind this series of events, and countless people died at his hands.

Chen Fan flipped through a few more pages. The following content consisted of trivial matters, along with a barrage of insults directed at the other person.

He was getting bored and was about to close the diary when he suddenly came across a passage.

"I never expected this guy to have a spatial item that can store things. Damn it, it must have been given to him by his Awakened family member."

Chen Fan was startled.

Storage space for items?

Isn't this something from fantasy novels? Does such a thing actually exist in reality?

Upon closer reflection, what if there were awakened individuals with spatial abilities? It seems not impossible for them to use their abilities to create a spatial object.

Chen Fan immediately became interested. Just then, he reached the end of the diary and quickly flipped to the next page. He was a little worried, as the diary ended there.

Fortunately, it was a false alarm.

The recording continues.

"I discovered it by accident. That time I gave him money, about 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. He was in a good mood. He opened a cigarette box, which was clearly empty, but I saw him take one out and hand it to me. Then he took another one out and put it in his mouth before closing the cigarette box."

I stared wide-eyed in disbelief as he proudly boasted that it was a spatial item capable of storing things, and that only he knew how to use it; even if I got my hands on it, I wouldn't know how.

Seeing that I didn't believe him, he even demonstrated it several times. I watched as he put the money on the table into the cigarette case, which was clearly empty. He still handed it to me, telling me to try it and if I could figure it out, he would give it to me. I tried my best to imitate his actions, but it turned out to be just an ordinary cigarette case.

Damn it, that bastard's smug look still makes my teeth itch with hatred. He was deliberately showing off in front of me! I really wanted to snatch that amazing thing and ask him how to use it, but I didn't dare. Sigh, if only I had one of those things.

Chen Fan was utterly shocked after reading this account.

Judging from what the other party said, this matter is very likely true.

Guan Dexi probably does possess some kind of spatial item.

However, to use it, you need a specific method; otherwise, it's no different from an ordinary item.

Chen Fan continued reading.

The cigarette box appears a few more times in the following pages, but only briefly.

It ends abruptly on the last page.

Clearly, he was unable to continue recording that day.

Chen Fan took a deep breath and closed his diary.

Surprisingly, he actually made some gains.

Firstly, Guan Dexi probably wouldn't let others know about this, because he himself felt guilty.

Second, this guy has a peculiar cigarette case with storage space inside. If I hadn't known this beforehand, even if I had obtained it, I would have thrown it away as junk.

Of course, if I want to use it, I have to pry the method out of this guy.
