Chereads / Timeless Awakening / Chapter 6 - Skill Acquisition.

Chapter 6 - Skill Acquisition.

AUTHOR'S POV: LIN XIN.

"What stupid name for a mission? Give me something better." Lin Xin said.

"*Foolish host. This is important now. I was meant to help you pick out a skill, but I'll let you do this on your own since you've annoyed me. Smirk*"

"Blah blah..." He said, checking the system out.

"Lin Xin, you bastard!!!" Someone shouted, breaking the door to his room.

"Arghhh!!! Who the hell is that?!" He asked, jumping from the floor.

"You...!!" the man called, walking towards Lin and grabbing the collar of his clothes.

"Who the hell are you?" He asked, trying to free himself from the guy's grip.

"Now you act like you don't know me?"

"Yu Hao, older brother of your fiancé Yu Luoluo. Age: 23."

*So why the hell's he attacking me?*

"What's this? Brother Hao?" Lin asked as the man let go of him.

*Brother? When did Lin Xin become so respectful?*

"Looks like you made progress without even trying."

*Must be cause I spoke to him without a care in the world. Hmph! I got this.*

"Ha... you just walked in and didn't let me explain anything. Are you that much of a fool?" He asked.

"You just raised a death flag, man."

*Hmm?*

"How dare you?!! Bastard!!" He shouted before punching me.

"Wow!!" He shouted as he collided with the wall.

*Luckily, it's not made with block. His hand is so strong.*

"I'll kill you." He said, dragging Lin up and throwing him out of his room.

"Ouch!!!" Lin shouted, trying to stand up.

"Master Yu Hao got back. Lin Xin is dead meat."

*I thought I did perfectly* he thought, rubbing his cheek.

"Lin Xin, I heard that you went to the brothel again. I thought I warned you to avoid that place. Looks like you want to die." Yu Hao said, walking towards Lin Xin.

"Brother, please don't. He'll die." A very beautiful girl called running towards them.

*W-wow... she's so pretty... I mean, system, help me out here. Please.*

"*It looks like he can solve it even without me butting in. But since he refused my offer in the beginning, I'll just have to take him up on that. Smirk, smirk*"

"Well, since you begged. 1000 points."

*Huh?! But I've got nothing on me!!*

"Worry not, your balance would be -1000. Deal or no deal?"

*If you insist.*

"NOTICE: YOU'VE ACQUIRED THE SKILL, SMOOTH TALKER."

"Hey, brother Hao. Looks like you've gotten the wrong idea about something." Lin Xin said, standing and dusting his butt.

"Huh?!"

*Brother Hao? Why did he call him that?* Luoluo thought.

"I didn't visit the brothel today. And I don't plan on going there again." He said.

"You lie! I got it from a reliable source."

"Then... your source is now unreliable..." He said, smirking.

"Huh?! What do you mean?"

"Like I said, I've been home since. I didn't leave."

"Th-that's true, Master Yu. I got some food for him this afternoon." The maid who he saw before said.

"Oh... then you can leave." He said, referring to the maid.

*Won't he apologize for the kick? Man, this guy is so proud.*

"That was a mistake on my part. Your room would be in order soon." Yu Hao said before walking out.

"Are you alright, Lin Xin?" She asked with so much care.

*Ah... she's so nice. I want to marry her.* he thought, smiling while nodding approvingly.

"Thank goodness I was so scared." She said.

*Last time, he pushed me away. Why is he acting weird?* she thought.

*I think this Lin Xin is quite stupid. This girl is so beautiful. Why would he chase after other girls?*

"NOTICE: THE MISSION; TALK YOUR WAY OUT OF THIS HAS BEEN COMPLETED. REWARD: 2 FREE SPIN AND 1000 POINTS."

"And there goes your skill"

"1000 POINT REPAYMENT IN PROGRESS "

"1000 POINT REPAYMENT,  SUCCESSFUL. BALANCE 0 POINT."

*You could have waited a little.*

"He-he."

"Why are you laughing?"

*Well, I'll just check out my 2 spins. Maybe I'll be lucky.*

He walked back into the room he was thrown out of and sat on the ground.

"Let's see..." He said, scrolling through the screen.

"First spin, oh kami!!" He said, praying to be lucky.

"NOTICE: THE HOST HAS GOTTEN THE ITEM; ELIXIR FOR REPLENISHING SPIRITUAL ENERGY(×5)"

"An elixir? Not bad... I guess." He said, tapping the spin again.

"*This host is quite lucky. I wonder how my brother is doing over there.*"

"NOTICE: THE HOST HAS GOTTEN A LEVEL-ONE SOUL DAGGER. CONTAINS POISON AND CAN KILL A MARTIAL ARTIST WITH JUST A STAB. LEVEL INCREASES THE MORE IT IS USED. AT LEVEL ONE CAN ONLY KILL CULTIVATORS AT THE LOWER INITIATION STAGE BUT TAKES UP TWO TIMES OR MORE FOR THOSE AT THE LATE STAGE."

"Hmm? Quite alright. Inventory." He said, putting them in the inventory.

"*Q-Quite lucky, my ass. He's too lucky! NOTHING WILL FAZE ME ANYMORE*"

"Ha... it's already late... I'll just rest for the night." He said, smiling while lying lazily on the ground.

"I'm afraid you don't have the time to laze around."

"Hmm?"

"Looks like you'll be able to test your dagger this night."

"What do you mean?"

"You'll see, very soon."

It was already late, at that time the others were already sleeping.

"Why the hell did you keep me awake?" Lin Xin asked, yawning.

"Shh... don't make a noise, you might wake Yu Hao." Someone said outside his door.

*Huh? Who's that?*

"Your test subjects"

"NOTICE: MISSION; KILL THE ASSASSINS. REWARD: 500 POINTS."
