World of Superpowers: Kill monsters to explode skills

60: Synthetic skillsShi Yan smiled strangely as he watched the Black Fur Man’s retreating figure.

This time, he netted two thousand magical coins, which would definitely meet the sales target.

And there were other special gains.

Shi Yan looked at where the Black Fur Man’s arm had been severed earlier, and a black rhomboid crystal appeared there.

Shi Yan walked over and touched the crystal; a warm current flowed into his body.

Abilities: Head Deformation, Blood紋 Control +1, Full Body Panel Enhancement, Shadow Transformation, Moon Power, Dan Pill Production, Shadow Gas, Physical Enhancement, Blood Curse, Laser Eye, Hair Extension and Contraction (Synthesizable), Flexibility, Underwater Breathing, Bomb Generation, Vine Power +1, Mental Impact, Quick Dash, Lava Body, Cold Wind, Sharp Black Hair (Synthesizable)

The newly acquired skills had the word ”Synthesizable” after them, and Shi Yan lightly tapped on it.

Hair Extension and Contraction and Sharp Black Hair slowly disappeared, transforming into a new skill.

Abilities: Head Deformation, Blood紋 Control +1, Full Body Panel Enhancement, Shadow Transformation, Moon Power, Dan Pill Production, Shadow Gas, Physical Enhancement, Blood Curse, Laser Eye, Fine Iron Hair Extension and Contraction, Flexibility, Underwater Breathing, Bomb Generation, Vine Power +1, Mental Impact, Quick Dash, Lava Body, Cold Wind

A new skill replaced two skills, appearing in the position of Hair Extension and Contraction.

Shi Yan looked at the new skill, and a piece of information immediately entered his mind.

Fine Iron Hair Extension and Contraction: Can freely control the extension and contraction of hair; the extended hair is as hard as fine iron.

Shi Yan raised his right arm and used the newly acquired skill; strands of black hair, visible to the naked eye, extended from his right arm.

These black hairs gleamed with a metallic luster, and each strand stood straight like a steel needle, with extremely sharp tips.

Shi Yan lightly flicked the black hairs with his left hand; the hairs swayed back and forth, emitting crisp clinking sounds as they moved.

”Useful, but also useless.”

After experimenting, Shi Yan only felt that this skill was very much a ”chicken rib” (useless but not entirely discardable). He retracted the skill, and the hair, which was like steel needles, immediately retracted into his skin and disappeared.

He then sat back down in his seat, quietly waiting for the next customer.

...

”Damn human! How dare you trick me like this? I will report you to the Flame Guards and make sure you can’t continue your business! I’ll make you die!”

After the Black Fur Man had walked far away, he looked down at his severed arm, his black-haired face filled with rage, and his dark eyes flashing with hatred.

He now hated Shi Yan to the core. After one trip to the supermarket, he not only lost an arm but also two thousand magical coins.

He knew that two thousand magical coins would take him a very long time to earn.

The Flame Guards were an organization similar to the Security Department in reality, responsible for all matters, big and small, within their street, and held various law enforcement powers over all residents on that street.

The Black Fur Man walked and thought, as if he had already seen Shi Yan crying hysterically, kneeling before him with a face full of pleas, begging for his forgiveness.

As he thought of the joyful parts, he couldn’t help but let out malicious laughter.

Suddenly, with a loud ”Bang!” a pillar of fire shot into the sky, and the Black Fur Man’s head exploded like a watermelon, scattering various black and white substances in all directions.

The Black Fur Man’s headless body slowly fell.

”Damn it!”

”Who’s so immoral! My newly bought clothes!”

”My makeup, ahhh!”

Several innocent passersby nearby were splattered with black blood and white pulp.

Some of their faces showed anger, others surprise, but not a single person cared about the Black Fur Man’s life or death.

They only cared that their clothes were dirty or that they were startled by the sudden loud noise.

...

A faint smile appeared on Shi Yan’s calm face.

When he gripped the Black Fur Man’s head, he had already used the skill [Bomb Generation] to plant multiple bombs.

After sensing that the bombs were far away from him, he detonated them.

He had never intended to let this Black Fur Man go from the beginning, but he didn’t want him to die in the supermarket, so he used this method.

As for the skill [Dan Pill Production], the Black Fur Man was not qualified to consume the Dan Pill.

Not long after, a strange creature, two meters tall, wearing a tall cylindrical hat and a beige trench coat, walked in.

Its face was pitch black, like a mass of black mist, and two blood-red dots of light could be seen in the eye area.

Only its head was exposed; the rest of its body was covered by the thick trench coat, and its hands wore white gloves.

Shi Yan looked at this new customer, his eyes flashing as he used the skill [Information Detection].

[Ghost Mist Lv20]

[Constitution: 0]

[Soul: 2139]

Looking at the detection results, Shi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

This was the first time he had encountered a creature with no Constitution attribute.

The reason for zero Constitution was likely because this creature had no physical body, essentially being a mass of mist.

Since this creature had no body, it should specialize in soul-level skills.

Shi Yan couldn’t say he could defeat it, as his main combat power was still on the physical level.

Fortunately, this creature named Ghost Mist seemed to have no significant hostility towards Shi Yan, unlike the previous Black Fur Man who was constantly nitpicking.

Ghost Mist looked around the shelves, seemingly finding something, and the red light in its eyes grew brighter.

It walked to the edge of the third row of shelves and picked up over a dozen bags of a product called ”Three Smoke Offering” at once.

Because its name, appearance, and method of consumption were very peculiar, Shi Yan had even specifically opened a bag to look.

Inside the bag was only an oval sphere composed of various unknown insects; the specific method of use was to light it and inhale.

Because it would form red, yellow, and blue smoke after being lit, it was called Three Smoke Offering.

”Boss, I’ll take these.”

Ghost Mist carried the dozen or so bags of Three Smoke Offering to Shi Yan and placed them on the counter.

”Total of ten thousand magical coins.”

Shi Yan casually counted them and quoted the price.

Actually, one bag of Three Smoke Offering only cost one hundred magical coins, but if he didn’t raise the price, how could he justify his hard work?

He had personally placed each item on the shelves, so he felt it was reasonable to charge several times the magical coins.

Ghost Mist didn’t hesitate; a mass of black mist dragged a stack of magical coins onto the counter.

Shi Yan counted them and nodded at Ghost Mist.

Ghost Mist picked up all the Three Smoke Offering and walked out of the supermarket.

Shi Yan watched Ghost Mist’s retreating figure thoughtfully.

Although this Ghost Mist was not high-level, it somewhat countered him, so he ultimately didn’t make a move against it.
