Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 377 I miss you
Excited heart, shaking hands!

What kind of super skill will this skill selection pack give me? Will it be an SSS-level skill?

Overjoyed, I opened the item!
"Shua~~"

A golden light flashed before my eyes, and more than a dozen skill icons instantly appeared for me to choose from.

[Cooking Basics] (Level C): Gain basic cooking skills.

[Basic Wilderness Survival] (Level B): Acquire some survival skills such as fishing, fire-making by friction, and making straw sandals.

[Basic Makeup] (Level C): A deceptive technique to make oneself more beautiful/effeminate.

[Musical Instrument Basics] (Level B): Proficient in various musical instruments.

【Skills for chatting with the opposite sex】(Level C): A very common life skill.

[Detailed Explanation of 72 Sexual Techniques in the Bedroom] (Level C): One type...

and many more!

Stop!
Isn't this getting more and more outrageous?!
Looking at all these skills in front of me, I felt a mix of emotions, and the only way to express my feelings was with emojis like flipping the table and kicking the pot!

There's no such thing as an SSS-level skill!
These are all useless life skills!

I knew it! There's no such thing as a free lunch.
The next second, I fell into deep thought.

Which one to choose?
Let's forget about cooking basics; my cooking skills have already won over Xiaoying long ago, so there's no need to elaborate.

Wilderness survival and makeup are useless.

Chatting skills with the opposite sex? I'm already at the maximum level!

Ultimately, their attention fell on musical instruments, which they were somewhat interested in, since they couldn't even play the guitar well before, always playing off-key and being teased by Milo and Lu Xiaobei.

But once you learn this skill...

Wuhu! Ding Han, a world-class piano master!
Furthermore, the extra mental energy gained from upgrading the instrument's base is also crucial.

Of course, I'm also a little interested in that detailed explanation of the room... I'm sure it will be very useful in the future, but unfortunately I can only choose one, so there's nothing I can do but choose musical instruments.

Next, choose the basics of musical instruments!

"Shua~~"

The skill selection pack transformed into a turquoise glow that seeped into the skill panel, turning into a guitar-shaped icon.

Become!

Directly inject a large amount of skill experience to level up!

Reach the highest level of Mastery in one go!

In addition, you will gain two skill points upon reaching level 68.

So both skill points were used to learn the skills needed to repair power armor and mechs.

One is the basic knowledge of control systems and neural interfaces, and the other is the basic knowledge of protection and emergency systems. The former aims to strengthen knowledge about neural link adaptation, brain-computer synchronization, response circuit optimization, sensor array calibration, etc., while the latter aims to strengthen knowledge about energy shield generators, self-destruction and sealing mechanisms, pressure sealing tests, etc.

All of them have been upgraded to the maximum level of authority!
In an instant, three passive knowledge skills flooded into his mind, making him instantly more talented and knowledgeable!
The feeling of being a badass is so intoxicating...

Each of the three skills, which were upgraded from Basic Level 0 to Authority Level 10, contributed 36 points of Spirit, for a total of 108 points.

My mental energy instantly jumped to 1175 points...

This attribute is enough to make countless psionic players heartbroken and weep!
"call……"

I took a deep breath, but I couldn't stop feeling happy yet, because there was another reward waiting for me. That's right, it was the brown treasure chest that the dragon had dropped!

Open the storage space, take out the treasure chest, and open it directly!

Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the item: [Dragon Armor] (Quality: Chaos Grade, S9, Brown)!

Come again?

This is the second brown-tier item I've acquired on this trip!
That's going too far! How are the other players supposed to play?!
With a look of joy... no, with a look of indignation, I took out the Divine Dragon Armor and released its attributes.

【Divine Dragon Armor】(Quality: Chaos Grade, S9, Brown)

Rank: Seventh

Defense: 1750
Strength: +80
Physical strength: +78
Spirit: +76
Blessing: Damage reduction +5%
Specialty: Attack damage +24%
Blessing: Divine Power-III, increases attack power by 1500 points.
Blessing: Divine Armor-III, increases defense by 1500 points.
Blessing: Resilience, increases your maximum health by 15000 points.

Blessing: Dragon's Strike, Passive. When the user is attacked by melee, there is a 20% chance to trigger a Dragon's Strike attack that deals 300% damage.

Biography: The Divine Dragon Armor, a treasure from the Warp, is not only indestructible but also said to conceal a chilling, mysterious power.

Strength required: 1200
Required Agility: 500
……

Its attributes remain dominant!
Compared to the S8 Golden Doomsday Armor I'm currently wearing, the Divine Dragon Armor has improved all its attributes by a level. Its only drawback is that it lacks a Burst Skill, missing out on a high-return healing Burst Skill called Well of Life.

But the Divine Dragon Armor has another awesome passive ability – Divine Dragon's Blow!
This thing seems a bit overpowered. When attacked in melee, there is a 20% chance to launch a counterattack, and the counterattack efficiency is a whopping 300% damage.

After completing the seventh job advancement and equipping the Divine Dragon Armor and Divine Dragon Barrier, you can simply throw me into a monster horde and I'll be able to farm monsters on my own without any further action!
Unfortunately, Star Abyss does not support auto-play...

Otherwise, I could just throw my character into the alien race and let him level up on his own, while I go home and cuddle with Xiao Ying to sleep. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Take a deep breath.

Calm down, don't overthink it!
The Divine Dragon Armor is still a Tier 7 equipment and cannot be equipped at present.

There's no other way but to put it in storage space for now.

……

"drop!"

At this moment, a voice request came from the facilitator, Zhou Jihuan.

"Ding Han, remember the sample of the dragon vine! Remember it!"

"Okay, stop talking and wait for me at the black market."

"Okay bro!"

He chuckled awkwardly and withdrew, showing great tact.

So I continued my work, wielding my sword to cut off several sections of dragon vine roots, and placed them all into the bottles and jars in my permanent storage space.

After cutting open a section of the tree root, they discovered that the bulge inside was actually a complete root nodule!

The root nodule had its eyes closed and was no longer breathing. I put it directly into a bottle and tossed it into the storage space.

"Shua~~"

The bottle was thrown in to confirm it was truly dead, because living things cannot be thrown into the interdimensional storage space.

Afterwards, I cut off some branches of the dragon vine and collected as many samples as possible. After storing them, I said goodbye to Sanbeitong, left the basin, and returned to Huaining City.

……

It was around 3 p.m. in the afternoon.

Arrive at the player black market.

The moment he stepped out of the teleportation array, he didn't rush to trade or hand over the samples. Instead, he plopped down on a stone stool next to the teleportation array, took out his phone, and sent a message to Lin Qingying.

"Xiaoying, I'm back in Huaining City, but I've been cutting down trees for a few days and I'm all sweaty. I need to go home and take a shower first. Are you working overtime today? If not, I'll come over and have dinner with you."

She replied instantly: "No meetings, come early!"

"okay!"

Just as he put his phone in his pocket, a figure approached from a distance—it was Gun Draws Like a Dragon.

"Alliance Leader Dragon!"

I stood up, greeted them, and lowered my voice, asking, "How's your strategy of acquiring low-level treasure chests going?"

"Ugh... why bring up something you shouldn't be talking about?"

Upon hearing this, his expression immediately soured. He pointed to a spot not far away and said, "I had two of my underlings set up a buying and selling stall over there, but it's not working well. Very few people come to sell treasure chests. Hey, I posted an announcement on the dark web, but it didn't work either, and I even got ridiculed..."

"Really?"

I listened intently, and sure enough, some players passing by the trading stalls were whispering among themselves:

"Holy crap, you think you can buy a purple treasure chest for this dirt cheap price? Dream on!"

"Yeah, they say the treasure chests will be given to lower-level players after they're bought up, but who knows? You can't judge a book by its cover. What if they take these cheaply bought chests and use them to level up?"

……

Gun Chu Rulong and I hid behind the wall, and he rubbed his nose dejectedly: "Did you hear that? This is probably what happens when you mean well but end up doing something wrong... Damn it, I have a lot of bitterness to complain about."

"Pitiful……"

I grinned and laughed: "Alright, I'll support you."

As he spoke, he strode forward and asked the two young men who were buying treasure chests, "What's the price for purple and blue treasure chests?"

"It's Ding Han..."

One of them quickly stood up: "A purple treasure chest costs 100, and a blue treasure chest costs 50!"

"Okay, I happen to have quite a few here!"

I immediately opened my interdimensional storage space and dumped out the low-level treasure chests that I had stored for a long time. A huge pile of them fell out with a whoosh, piling up like a mountain!
Immediately, it attracted a large number of players who exclaimed that it was awesome and that they had stirred up a monster's den.

After selling everything without hesitation, the net income was tens of thousands.

Of course, this is definitely a loss.

"Ding Han, thank you..."

The young man was a little excited: "Don't worry, we will definitely deliver these treasure chests to those who need them, and try our best to minimize the deaths of low-level brothers. Thank you so much, Ding Han!"

"Small idea!"

I waved my hand and said, "We players above level 60 definitely won't be judged by the invasion of the dream realm. Low-level treasure chests won't give us much experience anyway. Instead of taking those few bits of experience for ourselves, we might as well use them to extend the lives of lower-level players. After all, it's a life, and saving lives is more important than anything else!"

The two little brothers nodded excitedly.

Many players watching nodded in agreement, and two of them stepped forward to sell their low-level treasure chests.

……

"Ding Han..."

Rounding the wall, Qiang Churulong said gratefully, "Thank you so much, this leadership was quite effective..."

"Quickly have a writer prepare a special report of at least 1000 words to quickly guide public opinion. You know more about this than I do, Alliance Leader Long!"

"Hahahaha, you son of a bitch..."

Gunshots flew like dragons, and he laughed heartily, a tacit understanding unspoken.

Head to the center of the Black Market, find Old Ma, and clear out all the unnecessary items.

The trip involved cutting down many trees, but also yielded a large harvest. Selling all the miscellaneous items brought in over 800 million, which directly paid off more than half of the debt owed to Lao Ma. As for the money with Ruolin...

No rush. If she still has the nerve to ask for this money after I give her the Glory Barrier, I'll have my say!

Afterwards, they went to the tea room and handed a large number of specimens to the guide, who was so grateful that he almost kowtowed.

After returning home, I took two showers to make sure I didn't smell of the Chaos Creatures on myself before changing into dry clothes and heading to Yuening.

……

Lin Qingying's office on the top floor.

After waiting a few minutes, Shen Man's voice came from outside: "President Lin, are you sure the meeting at six o'clock is canceled?"

"Okay, I won't open it! You can go ahead and get busy."

"Yes, Mr. Lin."

The next second, Lin Qingying pushed open the door and entered, followed by Xiao Ai.

"You're even skipping meetings just for a date?" I asked with a laugh.

"Ah."

Lin Qingying stepped forward, looked up at me, then lowered her head, her voice very soft.

"Because I miss you..."
