From the time travel, I became extraordinary

Chapter 9 Secret Technique - Possession
The meal was simple, with no meat, just a stir-fried eggplant and a pickled cucumber.

After Jiang Yao dropped out of school, the burden on the family was slightly reduced.

But mother Yuan Xiuhua was obviously more worried.

She went out early and came back late every day, and was reluctant to eat and wear. She wanted to build a house and help Jiang Yao find a wife after a few years.

Unfortunately, with her monthly income of two to three hundred yuan as a vegetable vendor, it is still a long way to go for her to achieve either of these two goals.

"I didn't ask you these past two days, do you have any money to spend?"

Jiang Yaosheng had just sat down at the table in the kitchen after finishing his bowl of rice when Yuan Xiuhua followed him and sat down opposite him.

She took out five dollars and put it on the table in front of Jiang Yao, and continued: "Mom doesn't have time to take care of you. You are old enough, you should be sensible."

"If you want to go out and play, it's up to you. Just know what you can do and what you can't do."

"The soldier in your brother Jianguo's family is about the same age as you. He hangs out on the street and brings a girl home every now and then, and it's rarely the same girl twice. You must not learn from him."

"With our family's financial situation, it's your blessing that a girl likes you."

"As long as you can see the difference, you should talk to them seriously, be nice to them, and don't be afraid to spend money."

……

As they were talking, before they had said a few words, Yuan Xiuhua's topic actually turned to this aspect.

"Mom, I just turned eighteen a few months ago..."

Jiang Yao, who was eating, almost choked by his mother's words.

He wanted to add that he was still a child, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not appropriate, so he did not say it out loud.

To be honest, Jiang Yao could still understand Yuan Xiuhua's behavior.

After all, when she went out, Jiang Yao was still sleeping, and when she came back, Jiang Yao had already gone out and disappeared.

On weekdays, the mother and son have almost no chance to spend time together.

Jiang Yao came back early tonight, so she had to take this opportunity to have a good talk with Jiang Yao.

Jiang Yao could understand her thoughts, but for some reason, he felt uncomfortable listening to Yuan Xiuhua saying these to him.

After all, what now controls his body is the soul of an old man.

In his previous life, he lived to be in his forties, which means he was roughly the same age as Yuan Xiuhua in front of him.

Because of his previous life, although he and Yuan Xiuhua had a genuine mother-son relationship, there was always a little gap between them.

"So what if you just turned 18? If you can't get a marriage certificate, can't you just have a wedding banquet first?"

"That brother who works in the fourth group next door and hauls manure, his kid is one year younger than you. I don't know where he got this girl from, but he also set up the wine without getting a marriage certificate, right?"

"If you don't do this now while you are still young, it will be hard for you to find a wife in a few years."

After rolling her eyes at Jiang Yao, Yuan Xiuhua continued.

If Jiang Yao was still studying, she would definitely not tell him this.

But now, Jiang Yao has dropped out of school for two or three years, so his marriage naturally has to be given top priority.

After all, in the mindset of Yuan Xiuhua's generation, once you get married, you will naturally become sensible and know that you have to work hard to earn money to support the family.

As for building a house, even if you have a new house, it doesn't necessarily mean you can find a wife.

Now that I have a wife, building a house or not is no longer important.

Yuan Xiuhua naturally knew which one was more important between the two.

"Mom, I'm full. I sweated a lot during the day. I'm going to take a shower first." Jiang Yao lowered his head and just kept eating regardless of Yuan Xiuhua's lecture.

After eating two bowls of rice and feeling somewhat full, he stood up, cleaned up the dishes, then picked up a large bucket of water and walked towards the toilet.

"This child..." Looking helpless, Yuan Xiuhua smiled bitterly.

Although he is her son, Jiang Yao is already so old. It is naturally inconvenient for Yuan Xiuhua to follow him when he takes a bath.

A few minutes later, Jiang Yao, who had finished taking a shower, returned to the main room.

"Mom, it's already past ten o'clock, I'm going to bed first!"

After greeting Yuan Xiuhua who was watching TV, he quickly went into his room and closed the door.

"The child is grown up, it's hard to teach him now!"

Yuan Xiuhua, who had originally planned to wait for Jiang Yao to finish taking a shower before having a good chat with him, let out a long sigh.

She was in a bad mood. After turning off the TV and lights, she finally went back to her room.

Listening to the noise outside, Jiang Yao, who was already lying on the bed, finally breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that his mother had returned to her room to sleep.

To be honest, he was a little worried that Yuan Xiuhua would follow him into his room and give him a long lecture.

After turning off the lights in the room, Jiang Yao finally focused his attention on his own light curtain panel.

Name: Jiang Yao
Skills: None

Disaster: None
Reward: Secret Technique - Possession (If the target's mental strength is stronger than yours within the casting range, the casting will fail; otherwise, the casting will succeed)
(Note: This secret technique cannot be used on dead objects. Failure to cast the spell will cause backlash and there is a certain chance of turning the target into an idiot. If the spell is successful, the target's body can be forcibly controlled within a certain time frame...)
Rewards redeemed (yes/no?)

Compared with the bare panel before, there is now a lot more content on it.

These contents are basically various introductions to the rewards Jiang Yao obtained after surviving this disaster.

Things like possession by ghosts are often heard in folk anecdotes.

However, Jiang Yao was a living being, and he never thought that one day he would be able to master this ability.

Perhaps, the reason why he was able to obtain this secret technique as a reward was related to the fact that this disaster of his was a coincidence.

"After a spell fails and backlash occurs, there is a certain chance that you will become an idiot?"

"So, after I learn this secret technique, I can only target fools?"

Jiang Yao read the introduction about the secret technique of possessing the body on the panel very carefully.

But after reading it, he seemed a little disappointed and was stunned for a long time.

After all, mental power is something that cannot be seen or touched.

As for Jiang Yao himself, his mental strength is probably just like that of an ordinary person.

If he just pulls someone out to stand in front of him, how can he be sure that the other person's mental strength is weaker than his?
In this case, even if he learned this secret technique, it would be of little use to him.

"It's good to have many skills. It's a free reward anyway. I don't care if it's useful or not. It's better to learn it."

"Besides, I now feel that this secret technique is of little use, mainly because my own mental strength is too weak."

"If my mental strength can be improved someday, then this secret technique can be used in many more places!"

……

Thinking of this, Jiang Yao took a deep breath and silently said to himself, "I'll collect the reward now." So he chose yes.
