Being an otaku in the world of American comics

With a flash of light, Liang Yue appeared inside the room.

It was the same familiar bed, the baroque-style lily-of-the-valley chandelier overhead, the solid wood desk with slightly worn corners, the thick-backed steel cleaver at his feet, and the black backpack filled with various wilderness survival tools.

Looking at the full-length mirror that was at least a man's height, after a month of survival trials in another world, Liang Yue had undergone varying degrees of change, both physically and mentally.

"Finally back~"

Still wearing the black sportswear that had accompanied him for a whole month, Liang Yue seemed to have grown taller and become more robust and streamlined compared to a month ago.

So much so that the outfit that had fit him perfectly before he left now seemed a little small.

Looking at himself in the mirror with his slightly tanned skin, Liang Yue tugged at the corners of his mouth, reached out and flicked the slightly long hair in front of his forehead, then quickly took off the clothes.

Opening the closet next to him, he found a large pair of shorts and a t-shirt, and walked towards the bathroom.

"System, I stayed in the MC world for a whole month, how long has it been here?"

"Less than a second."

"That's not bad~"

"Ding~! The host has successfully completed the main quest of the novice world MC, achieving the thirty-day survival requirement. Does the host want to receive the quest reward now?"

Liang Yue, who was scrubbing himself vigorously with a bath towel, paused in his movements when he heard this.

"The reward for the main quest, I remember it should be to open the system store... Claim!"

"Ding~! The system store function is now activated, please check it yourself, host."

"Ding~! After completing the novice trial, the host will automatically receive a lottery privilege. The range of prizes is vast, and the prize level fluctuates up and down with the host's own strength as the median.

Each natural month, the host will automatically receive a lottery privilege. This month's lottery benefit has been issued. Does the host want to draw the lottery now?"

"Draw! Draw now!"

Faced with the good news that followed, Liang Yue was no longer in the mood to take a bath. He hastily rinsed off the foam on his body, wiped himself twice with a towel, and ran back to the bedroom.

At this time, with Liang Yue's order, a large black turntable suddenly appeared in the light curtain in front of him, filled with various items, and the center of the turntable was a slender red pointer.

It was a pity that this guy had shouted the order a little too early. By the time he excitedly climbed onto the bed, the turntable and pointer in front of him had already started to rotate in the opposite direction.

In the blink of an eye, it became impossible to tell what was what.

Seeing this, Liang Yue frowned subconsciously, and had no choice but to give up the idea of observing.

"Stop!"

At the moment his voice fell, the turntable on the light curtain immediately went from its original rapid rotation to a standstill, with only the central pointer still moving rapidly due to inertia.

As time passed, the speed of the pointer's rotation began to slow down, until finally, under Liang Yue's focused gaze, it came to a complete stop.

And the item in the area pointed to by this red pointer turned out to be a strange icon!

A bullet shot forward diagonally, with a golden trajectory behind it that was almost identical to the logo of a well-known brand, shaped like a "√".

"Ding~! Congratulations to the host for drawing the long-range offensive skill 'Ricochet' in this lottery benefit. This skill comes from a certain mod character in 'Torchlight 2'.

Does the host want to claim the reward?"

"So lucky!? It's actually a skill? Claim!"

After listening to the system's introduction of the prize, Liang Yue's eyes lit up immediately, and he replied without hesitation.

Then, the skill icon on the lottery turntable in front of him began to slowly enlarge, slowly flew out of the turntable, and finally turned into a stream of light.

With a whoosh, it drilled into his brain.

In an instant, a massive stream of information filled his mind in a very strong manner.

Liang Yue immediately softened, and lay on the bed like a caterpillar, holding his head, humming and groaning involuntarily.

About two or three minutes later, the abnormality in his brain gradually subsided.

"It's just a skill that can't be considered very powerful, but I didn't expect it to contain so much information, even the training methods are included!"

Liang Yue sat up with a wry smile, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and subconsciously rubbed his temples with his hands to relieve the previous symptoms.

The so-called "Ricochet" skill actually refers to a special technique that uses the principle of bullet reflection and refraction to perform extended attacks.

However, those skilled marksmen sometimes use this ricochet phenomenon to achieve a certain degree of attack, or even assassination.

For example, Deadshot in Suicide Squad, played by Will Smith... he is a master in this regard!

And the "Ricochet" skill that Liang Yue has drawn now is actually roughly using this technique, and extending, summarizing, and even magically transforming it on top of it~

...

《Ricochet》: Use long-range weapons to fire reflective bullets.

Current level: 1

...

Liang Yue had been exposed to the game "Torchlight 2" in his previous life. Although the skill in front of him had been improved by the system, some of the basic rules were still valid.

For example, in the skill information, the so-called first, second, and third stage rewards actually correspond to the 5th, 10th, and 15th levels of the skill level respectively.

Only when the skill level reaches the corresponding requirements can one be qualified to enjoy such rewards.

For Liang Yue, whose "Ricochet" skill is only level 1, it has almost nothing to do with him except as a small goal to look forward to.

"Bows, crossbows, and even shotguns can be used to ricochet, it's amazing, but... System, what's up with that mana cost?

I don't seem to know any magic now, do I?"

Staring at the line of small print in the skill information, Liang Yue couldn't help but feel a bad feeling in his heart.

"Please explore it yourself, host."

"As expected..."
