I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

Chapter 50: Late Night Rain (Fourth Update, Seeking Follow-up Reads)

Zhang Chen entered the house and lit the oil lamp, then began to wash up. After finishing, he picked up his brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, took out the book the young lady had sent today, and, focusing on a particular character, began to practice it in a crooked and clumsy manner.

Zhang Chen wasn't entirely without foundation. Although he hadn't practiced the writing of this world, he had at least completed nine years of compulsory education in his previous life, giving him a basic foundation in writing. Practicing the writing of this world wasn't starting from scratch.

Just as Zhang Chen was practicing writing, the fox spirit next door came again. She seemed to be inspecting her territory like a little dog. Although she didn't move any of Zhang Chen's belongings, she still looked over all the items in his house as usual.

When she saw the sable coat hanging on the wall, the fox girl couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise, muttering to herself, "How strange, when did this kid get such a good thing? It's simply unbelievable! Letting this rough man wear this is a waste of a good thing; it should be given to that scholar of mine."

A hint of desire flashed in the fox girl's eyes, and she wanted to reach out and take the sable coat, but then she sighed in disappointment and lowered her hand: "This kid is always peeking over the wall, if I steal the sable coat and he sees it, wouldn't he fight the scholar to the death? If he reports it to the authorities, the entanglement would be unpleasant."

Golden light flowed in Zhang Chen's eyes as he pretended not to see the fox spirit wandering around, and continued to lower his head and practice writing. Who knew that at this moment, the fox spirit would abandon the sable coat and come to Zhang Chen's desk. When she saw Zhang Chen practicing writing with a brush, a look of curiosity actually appeared in her eyes. She leaned her head closer to look at Zhang Chen's writing, and then, the next moment, unrestrained laughter echoed throughout Zhang Chen's house.

The laughter wasn't the crisp sound of a young girl, but the 'ge ge ge' of a demonic woman. The fox spirit laughed so hard that she had to support herself on the table with both hands, her laughter breathless, and the entire house was filled with that demonic laughter.

The fox spirit, believing that no one could hear her, laughed very wantonly at this time, her voice full of ridicule: "This is also writing? I, the fox girl Nan Nan, could roll around on the ground twice, and the resulting swirls would be better looking than this writing!"

Hearing this, Zhang Chen's fingers gripping the brush handle turned white. Listening to the fox spirit's unrestrained ridicule, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, constantly comforting himself in his heart: "I can't hear it! I can't hear it! I can't hear anything at all!"

The fox girl Nan Nan, at this time, sized up the writing with her eyes, and then looked at Zhang Chen, looking him up and down, left and right, back and forth. After a long while, she smacked her lips and said: "Sure enough, the person is as ugly as the writing!"

After saying these words, the fox girl Nan Nan had already floated away, leaving only Zhang Chen standing in the house, holding the brush with a bitter and resentful expression, piercing the white paper in front of him. This fox girl Nan Nan was too much, pointing at someone's nose and calling them ugly in person. Could there be anything more excessive in the world than this?

However, Zhang Chen didn't want to provoke this fox spirit now, and could only secretly say: "Don't worry! Don't worry! My Light of the True God is only a few hundred points away from leveling up. I must endure, I must not be reckless!"

Zhang Chen's eyes looked at his golden finger panel:

【Name: Zhang Chen】

【1 Skill (Second Tier): Light of the True God (0/5000)】

【2 Skill (Unranked): Dragon Qi (0/2000)】

【3 Skill (Unranked): Blood Control (0/100000)】

【Points: 4690】

"Three hundred and ten points left. If you say it's a lot? It really is a lot. According to the current progress, I don't know how long it will take to dig it up. But if you say it's a little? I used to be able to dig up that much in a day. Let's just bear with it, when my Light of the True God breaks into the third tier, there should be a qualitative change." Zhang Chen said to himself, then continued to pick up his pen and write, but it seemed like he was hallucinating, the fox girl Nan Nan's ridicule made Zhang Chen feel restless. Then Zhang Chen simply stopped writing, a sullen look appearing on his face as he whispered: "Forget it, I'm feeling restless today and it's not suitable for practicing writing. When I get a skill like photographic memory in the future, wouldn't recognizing characters be a piece of cake?"

Zhang Chen lay on the bed, thinking about the sweet girl's affairs, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth: "Today can be said to be a windfall. Actually, whether it's a windfall or not, I don't think it matters. The key is that it can vent the bad breath in my heart."

Zhang Chen didn't practice writing today and went to bed early. In the middle of the night, suddenly a muffled thunder sounded in the sky, and the sound of drizzling rain came, constantly hitting the thatched roof, waking Zhang Chen up.

"It's raining?" Zhang Chen opened his eyes in the darkness, listening to the sound of raindrops falling on the roof, slowly sat up and lit the oil lamp, muttering: "How strange! How strange! Why is it raining?"

According to the situation during the day, it shouldn't be raining at all.

"It shouldn't be raining, but it's raining anyway." Zhang Chen sat up, slowly pushed open the door. At this time, a gust of cold air came with the smell of mud, and a drizzling rain was actually falling in the sky. The rain fell from the air and hit Zhang Chen's face, the coldness making him lose some of his sleepiness.

Golden light flickered in Zhang Chen's eyes, wanting to open his Dharma Eyes to observe the heavens and the earth, but at this time, the air was filled with a great fog, even if Zhang Chen opened his Dharma Eyes, it would be difficult to penetrate the fog, let alone see the state of the Dragon Qi outside the sky.

"This rain is very abnormal." Zhang Chen allowed the rain to wet his clothes, enjoying the rare rain. He knew that this might be the last rain for the next few months, or even years. The Dragon Qi was swallowing the water flow of this land like a whale, and the living beings of this world were afraid that they would suffer.

"I only hope that I can dig open that curtain as soon as possible, and then take the fortune inside, and then leave as soon as possible." Zhang Chen said to himself.

Just as Zhang Chen was thinking in his heart, suddenly a white-clothed phantom walked out of the neighboring house. The white-clothed girl looked at the Dragon Qi in the sky with her eyes, a trace of contemplation appearing in her eyes, her gaze full of compassion, not knowing what she was thinking. However, Zhang Chen didn't dare to look at the fox spirit, for fear that the fox spirit would discover something, and then he would be miserable.

Zhang Chen didn't look at the fox spirit, suddenly the girl turned her head to look at Zhang Chen. Seeing Zhang Chen looking at the rain in the sky, she couldn't help but curl her lips: "You're simply a madman, not sleeping in the middle of the night, but actually running over to look at the rain, you're really sick!"

The fox spirit was very proud and mocked Zhang Chen with a barrage of curses. Seemingly feeling that it wasn't enough, she rolled up a ball of mud and directly flung it through the air, smearing it on Zhang Chen's face.

Zhang Chen did see the mud flying over, but the mud was too fast and he didn't dodge it. Moreover, he didn't want to dodge, he wanted to show weakness in front of the fox spirit as much as possible, and then give the fox spirit a fatal blow at a critical moment.
