Learn one small skill every day

Learn a small skill every day. Author: October 30th

Summary:

Every day at midnight, Bai Miao can draw a skill once.

The skills are completely random and flashy.

So he mastered a series of tricks such as somersaults, biting a lighter with his mouth, eating instant noodles through his nostrils, and drinking water through his eyes.

I originally thought these were skills that were more for show than practical use.

Until one day, Bai Miao received an email from the future.

What? My skills can be incredibly effective in death dungeons? And I can even learn local ruthless techniques in dungeons?

"Learning has no end; I just know a little more than you all..."

"You're talking about time stopping? That's actually technology; we should believe in science."

Chapter 1: A Lottery System? Future Emails?

[Congratulations on acquiring the skill: Eating instant noodles through your nostrils]

[My skill in eating instant noodles through my nostrils has reached LV3!]

"Fuck you!"

Bai Miao looked at the pale blue prompt characters that appeared in front of him and couldn't help but curse.

Three years! Do you know how I spent these three years?

Bai Miao wanted to question this system that existed but was ultimately useless.

Bai Miao is a transmigrator who traveled to this parallel world three years ago and obtained a system that allows him to draw a skill once a day.

At first, Bai Miao was overjoyed. Wouldn't this make him an all-rounder in no time?

Singing, dancing, rapping, and basketball don't require two and a half years of practice; you can master them with just a little exposure!

However, reality gave Bai Miao a harsh slap in the face.

The skills drawn each day are completely random, and the majority of them are acrobatic or gimmicky.

In addition, there is the possibility of drawing duplicate skills, so Bai Miao has only drawn a handful of useful skills in the past three years!

Every day, Bai Miao would draw a bunch of useless skills, and it was quite torturous for him to just watch as skills like biting a lighter with his mouth, walking upside down on his hands, and eating instant noodles with his nose were stacked up to level three or four.

Bai Miao believed that if he couldn't find a job in the future, he could join any circus and become a world-class clown within a month. All the pranksters on Kuaishou and Shake Hands would have to take a backseat. Bai Miao alone could pull off amazing tricks that all of them combined couldn't.

But... what's the use?!

With such a system full of infinite possibilities, how could Bai Miao be willing to do something silly for others to see?

Before transmigrating, Bai Miao was already a man in his thirties, and he knew the importance of youth!

You should never let having a system cause you to neglect your life plans; instead, you should make good use of the skills you have acquired to help yourself grow better.

However, Bai Miao really has no other way to go besides studying hard right now.

After all, aside from some skills that are useful for creating fun or under extremely special conditions, the only useful skills Bai Miao drew were "Mathematics LV2 and Linguistics LV2".

These two skills allowed him to excel in the three main subjects of Chinese, mathematics, and English with ease during his high school studies.

Bai Miao tested his LV2 skill level. He could finish the entire college entrance examination in mathematics within an hour and get a perfect score. For English, he directly used the TOEFL test paper. Excluding subjective questions such as speaking and writing, he also made no mistakes on the objective multiple-choice questions. He could get a score of over 440 in Chinese, mathematics and English combined.

"Sigh... I've wasted another chance. Let's get up..."

Bai Miao rolled over in bed. His daily routine was quite regular. He would get up at 6:30 every morning, draw his skill opportunities for the day, go out to exercise and have breakfast, and arrive at the classroom before 7:30 to start studying.

Bai Miao initially planned to draw all the skills at midnight every day before going to sleep, but he later discovered that he would most likely have trouble sleeping after drawing all the skills.

Too bad.

Of course, after so many years of experience, Bai Miao's mentality has become excellent. He only occasionally reaches the advanced level of armor penetration because he doesn't have the skill.

After returning to his apartment from his run, Bai Miao became wary.

The room's layout has been altered!

[Spot the Difference LV1: You can keenly detect subtle changes in things over time and space]

"There's something new under the coffee table..."

Bai Miao carefully picked up his phone, placed his finger on the alarm button, stepped back outside, and shouted loudly inside, "I see you! If you don't come out, I'm calling the police! What did you put under my coffee table?!"

Someone must have broken into my apartment!

Bai Miao swallowed hard, wondering why someone would come into his house.

Even though they were already desperately poor, thieves still came to rob them.

Could it be that the skill of catching a blade barehanded that I learned before will come in handy today?

After a long time, Bai Miao still didn't hear any movement from inside the room. So he squatted down and used the reflection from his phone to check if anyone was hiding in the blind spots in the corridor and near the door.

Hide and Seek LV1: Within a certain space, no one can hide from your eyes.

Bai Miao had confidence in his skills. Although the system's completely random skill selection was a bit of a rip-off, the effects of the skills he drew were definitely top-notch.

"Nobody here? Who came in, left something, and then left? Are they crazy?"

Bai Miao took out a package from under the coffee table and began to unpack it with some curiosity.

There shouldn't be any bombs or anything like that in here, right?

Bai Miao felt that he had never offended anyone to this extent.

The package wasn't very big, just a square box about 50 centimeters in diameter, filled with a lot of foam.

In the center of the foam was a jet-black chain, about half a meter long.

"chain?"

The moment Bai Miao saw the chains, he suddenly felt a little dizzy.

The chains were unnaturally black, with not a single ray of light reflecting back from their surface, making them appear as if they existed independently of this space.

Furthermore, the chain was broken, and Bai Miao could see that a section of it was irregularly shaped.

It felt a little cold to the touch.

"Hiss, this thing doesn't conduct heat either?"

I held it in my hand for a long time, but the chain showed no signs of getting warm.

"Huh? There's another letter?"

The envelope lay quietly at the bottom of the box. It was black overall, but there were some gold patterns on the surface, which made it look very elegant.

Bai Miao opened the envelope, thinking that the answer he was looking for should be inside.

[Bai Miao, by the time you read this letter, I may already be dead. Please read to the end carefully, as it will determine your fate...]

【首先你最好奇的应该就是谁给你寄的东西，在回答这个问题前，我想要确认一下你收到包裹的日期是否为2029年3月2日？如果不是的话请将这张纸翻到背面，背面的内容是你在2029年3月3日及之后收到包裹。】

When Bai Miao saw this, he realized that today was indeed March 2nd, 2029, but he still subconsciously flipped the paper over.

The content on the back is similar to that on the front, but the Chinese characters are presented as a complete mirror image, making them quite difficult to read.

So Bai Miao turned the letter over and continued reading.

[I assume you've already confirmed the date, so the mystery is solved: the person who sent you this package is actually you in the future.]

To be precise, it's about you a year from now.

[You will be attacked and killed on March 2, 2030. Before your hiding place is discovered, you will pass this letter and the Zero Hour Lock to your past self.]

[If you don't want to die suddenly a year from now, remember every single word that follows!]

Chapter Two: Future Opportunities

Is this some kind of reality prank show?

Bai Miao paused for a moment, then looked up and around the room.

It's possible someone installed a hidden camera in their home to see how they would react.

[I know you might not believe it and think it's some kind of real-life prank show, and I know you're wondering why I haven't directly posted some crucial evidence to prove that I am you in the future.]

The following content in the letter made Bai Miao smile slightly.

They're quite professional; they seem to have a real grasp of psychology.

[You need to understand one thing: what you possess is hidden at a higher level than the Zero Hour Lock. I cannot write this down as decisive evidence and pass it on to your past self.]

I don't have much time left, so what follows might seem confusing right now, but just remember this: Only you can change your future!

Is this referring to my lottery system?

Bai Miao almost believed it for a moment, but then he thought, isn't this a typical deception?

[Before midnight tonight, the exact time is unclear, you'd better go up to the rooftop early and wait. A large, blood-red door will appear there. Once you see it, don't hesitate, go straight in!]

Behind this door lies a single-player dungeon called "Abyss Street." I don't know how to clear it, but after clearing it, you'll obtain an Aleph-level item called "Abyss Howl." Don't ask what it does; you'll know once you get it. It's an extremely rare and powerful item. In my timeline, whoever obtains this item will be the strongest for a very long time to come!

[The person who cleared "Abyss Street" was a complete newbie. I have a lot of confidence in you, and in myself, that you will successfully clear it!]

The world is undergoing a dramatic transformation, and you must be among the first to catch it. If you miss out now, you won't even get the soup later!

The Zero-Time Lock is damaged. After you repair it, you'll have a chance to receive help from my future self at a crucial moment. Bring the Zero-Time Lock with you when you enter!

Beware of a woman named Zhao Ling! If you have the chance, kill her! She's a damn hypocrite!

I've listed the key factors that will most significantly impact your future development. Of course, there are many other important matters in the future, but you might not encounter them again after changing your current situation. The butterfly effect is unpredictable; just remember these points for now and fix these temporary locks as soon as possible. I'll still help you when you're confused!

[Finally, please destroy this message after reading!]

Bai Miao stared silently at the contents of the letter, his worldview reeling.

Fortunately, Bai Miao himself was a time traveler, and he also possessed a strange system.

Otherwise, he would definitely treat the contents of this letter as a prank.
