I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 698, New Package

Translator: Silavin

Su Bai tidied his clothes and got out of bed, following his previous habit of checking in with the System.

Su Bai’s black pupils dilated upon hearing this, his drowsiness instantly evaporating as complete alertness washed over him.

He paused for quite a while, then asked. [Mid Grade Assistance? What exactly are Iron Arms?]

It had been some time since he opened a Mid Grade package, so this came as rather a pleasant surprise.

The cold System voice responded.

[I see, so another month has passed.] Su Bai nodded thoughtfully.

This was the guaranteed Mid Grade Assistance Package for checking in one month.

If not for the System’s reminder, he would have forgotten that a month had already passed. [Time sure moves quickly.]

[System, what is the main function of the Iron Arms? Is it literally what it sounds like?] Su Bai enquired.

The System voice rang out once more.

Su Bai’s thick black eyebrows raised slightly as he said with satisfaction. “So it’s a Skill, and a useful one at that.”

He had countless times wondered what the next Mid Grade Assistance Package would contain, never imagining it would be something related to enhancing himself.

[A Skill that directly strengthens my personal capabilities, great! System, how many times per day can this Skill be used? How long does it last? Will there be any side effects?] Su Bai asked three consecutive questions in his mind.

He absolutely had to understand all aspects of the Skill, such as duration, side effects, and usage frequency.

He could not be ignorant about it. If he truly encountered danger later and got injured due to not knowing the specific circumstances, that would be unfortunate.

The System articulated word by word, its voice remaining extremely cold and mechanical.

[No usage limit, great. Though the cool down is rather long. Apart from that, there’s nothing particularly problematic about it.] Su Bai nodded with satisfaction.

The cool down was indeed a significant issue. After each use, he had to wait half an hour before using it again. This meant that if he encountered a situation where he could only engage in swift decisive battles. If things dragged on too long, it would be disadvantageous for him.

“Iron Arms!” Su Bai called out softly. He wanted to test the power of this Skill. After his words fell, his two muscular arms took on a grey metallic lustre.

However, this golden lustre was fleeting, like a film coating applied to his arms.

“Doesn’t feel like much has changed, just that my arms have become more solid.” Su Bai murmured to himself.

He reached out to knock on his bicep, only to discover it was surprisingly hard, just like iron blocks.

“This sensation is really similar to touching iron.” Su Bai nodded with satisfaction.

He stood up, preparing to find something to experiment with. After all, there were still ten minutes remaining. He wanted to test what it would feel like to punch a stone.

*Step step step…*

He stepped away from the Yong’an Building, found a very large stone downstairs, and threw a punch directly at it.

*Crack crack crack…*

The stone originally had only slight hairline cracks, but following a series of sounds, the stone completely crumbled into powder.

“Hard against hard, raw power still takes precedence.” Su Bai shook the debris from his arms.

He picked up another stone, this time a pebble whose hardness went without saying.

*Crack!* Another sound rang out as the pebble was forcibly crushed to powder, happening in the blink of an eye.

[This Skill is very useful.] Su Bai brushed the sand from his hands.

Yu Ying followed him out, originally wanting to ask what was wrong with the Shaman, but the scene she had just witnessed left her dumbstruck.

After quite a while she recovered her composure, asking in shock. “Shaman, was what you just used a Shaman Technique?”

Yu Ying did not know how to explain what she had just witnessed. She could only connect it to a new Shaman Technique.

How had she never seen the Shaman display such formidable ability before? She had originally thought the Shaman’s greatest strength was his mind.

Although she could see him training with the Crocodile Blade and exercising his body daily, she had never seen Su Bai demonstrate his true capabilities.

That scene just now had initially frightened her somewhat. After all, even if Warriors attempted it, they could not completely crush a pebble into powder.

But after reflection, the Shaman was the Shaman after all, perhaps that scene was achieved through a special Shaman Technique that only he knew of?

“Did that frighten you? What I used just now was indeed a Shaman Technique.” Su Bai said gently.

He had forgotten to explain to Yu Ying first since he was rushing. That scene just now was indeed incredible.

Yu Ying was naturally quite timid, plus he had never displayed such strength before, so naturally she would feel somewhat afraid.

“I see, I thought as much. For the Shaman to achieve such a feat, you must have used a Shaman Technique.” Yu Ying swished her pink fox tail.

However, Yu Ying was also greatly impressed. Learning Shaman Techniques was no easy matter. She had never seen the Shaman use this type of Shaman Technique before.

“Did that scene frighten you?” Su Bai asked again, continuing to dust off his clothes.

When crushing stones and punching stones earlier, quite a bit of dust had settled on his clothing.

“No, no, I was just curious why the Shaman came straight outside.” Yu Ying shook her head repeatedly.

Yu Ying dared not admit she had been frightened just now. The Shaman always seems so gentle.

“I just came out to experiment with this new Shaman Technique, didn’t expect it to be a complete success.” Su Bai said softly.

“Shaman, you’ve not only created many new Shaman Bone Tablets, but you also find time to study new Shaman Techniques.” Yu Ying kept blinking her pink pupils, continuing to praise. “This is something others simply cannot achieve. You’re amazing.”

Although Yu Ying had not previously been a Shaman Priestess for the Old Shaman, she had heard plenty about Shamans and knew that learning Shaman Technique and creating Shaman Bone Tablets were no easy tasks.

“Ha ha ha…” Su Bai laughed heartily, saying. “This is the only way I can properly protect you and the Tribe.”

He certainly would not say that all this was the System’s doing. If other Tribes’ Shamans knew of this, they might die of anger.

What others spent most of their lives painstakingly learning, for him it only took a few minutes to master.

“Yes.” Yu Ying’s face reddened slightly.
