Water Margin: Gao Yanei is actually a Gal Genius

Gao Jin was surprised. How could Lin Chong's favorability rating suddenly reach 70 points?

But this wasn't the time to ponder it. He quickly stepped forward to help Lin Chong up, saying, "Brother, get up quickly! I'm so embarrassed."

After helping the weak Lin Chong to a seat, Gao Jin thumped his chest loudly and said, "We're brothers, from now on we'll share both hardship and happiness!"

Lin Chong said, "Thank you, brother!"

Lu Zhishen came over with a wine jar and filled it for Lin Chong, then turned back and picked up his wine bowl, saying, "Drink, drink! The words are all in the wine!"

Lin Chong smiled with relief and picked up the wine bowl. "I'll have to trouble you in the future, brother."

Gao Jin also raised his wine bowl, "We're brothers, no need to trouble yourself..."

"System, I want to extract abilities!"

The abilities that can be extracted and copied are: "Endurance Beyond Compare", "Master-Level Proficiency in General Staff Techniques", "Master-Level Proficiency in Lin Family Spear Techniques", "Basic Knowledge of Military Formations", and "Pitch-Pot and Chess".

[Congratulations, host, on obtaining the 'Master-level Mastery of the Lin Family Spear Technique'. As the saying goes, 'Horses trample the linked formations, banners and leopards terrify the sorcerers. Once, by the vermilion wall, they idly played the game of pitch-pot; now, they cleave the azure sky in fury, cutting down ships. A hundred battles leave deep scars, the spear's handle grows cold; the Six-Flower Formation scatters, the enemy chieftain cries out. The rain of Jiangnan shatters the battle robe, yet I still remember my husband on that snowy night.']

[Master-level Mastery of the Lin Family Spear Technique: You have developed your own understanding of spear techniques.]

Gao Jin was surprised, as Lu Zhishen's abilities did not seem to have the prefix "master-level" before.

Immediately afterward, Gao Jin's mind went blank, and he found himself in a dreamlike arena. As far as the eye could see, there were humanoid black figures wielding spears, and countless sounds accompanied their movements.

"When holding a gun, maintain a proper stance, with the tip pointing directly at the opponent's center line..."

"The leading hand acts like a tube, controlling the direction and sliding of the gun..."

"The rear hand is like a lock, unleashing power and force..."

"The eight techniques of spear fighting are: thrust, block, seize, parry, point, flick, pierce, and chop. Thrusting is..."

"The six harmonies of spear technique, the inner three harmonies are the harmony of mind and intention, the harmony of intention and qi, and the harmony of qi and strength..."

The three external harmonies are: hands and feet harmonizing, elbows and knees harmonizing, shoulders and hips harmonizing...

"The feet drive the hips, the hips drive the waist, the waist drives the shoulders, the shoulders drive the elbows, the elbows drive the hands, and finally the power reaches the tip of the spear..."

Therefore, the spear is not wielded with the arm, but with the full power of the whole body...

"A stance as imposing as a mountain, as still as a deep pool, is stable; an attack as swift as a shooting star piercing the sun, is precise; power as devastating as thunder, is ruthless; and changes in technique as fluid as shifting clouds and mist, are ever-changing."

Its shape....

As Gao Jin was pondering the words, he saw those human figures rushing towards him like streaks of light.

Before Gao Jin could react, numerous shadowy figures merged into his body, and he, in his early twenties, suddenly possessed nearly thirty years of gun-handling experience and skills.

Faced with such a miraculous event, Gao Jin stood there dumbfounded.

"...Brother? Why is Brother suddenly not talking?" Lu Zhishen waved his large palm in front of Gao Jin's eyes.

Gao Jin composed himself and said with some surprise and uncertainty, "It seemed as if an immortal was performing magic and teaching me spear techniques... I was so lost in thought that I froze."

Thinking back to his sudden change in physique, which everyone around him ignored as if he had always been that strong, Gao Jin made up the excuse of a celestial being imparting magic to see the two brothers' reaction.

He couldn't very well tell the two of them that he had a system. Gao Jin was uneducated and naive, but he wasn't entirely without guile.

"Oh? Such a strange thing? When I sparred with you, my brother, you never used your spear skills..." Lu Zhishen's eyes were filled with eagerness, but after scanning the cell, he said dejectedly, "...It's a real pity that we can't really unleash our full potential here."

"I also have some insights into marksmanship... If you don't mind, brother, perhaps we can verify some of my knowledge," Lin Chong said.

Gao Jin laughed and said, "Once this matter is settled, I'll show you two brothers what I can do." After saying that, he secretly glanced at Lin Chong. Lu Zhishen's martial arts skills didn't even have the prefix "master level".

His brother is really humble.

Seeing that neither of his brothers remembered him as a skilled marksman, Gao Jin began to have some reservations. He changed the subject, bringing up the events of the other day, "Brother Zhishen, what exactly is the situation with Li Yan?"

"Hey, brother, don't even mention it. That fellow used to be a hunter from the vicinity of Daming Prefecture, but he secretly engaged in highway robbery, committing more than a dozen murders, which alarmed the authorities."

"Last month, the prefect of Daming Prefecture sent troops to search the mountains and arrest bandits, but Li Yan was so frightened that he came to Tokyo to avoid trouble."

Gao Jin put down his wine bowl and asked疑惑地问道, "Li Yan has the skills to fight tigers, bears, and wild boars, why is he hiding from the limelight?"

"Brother, you don't know this, but Li Yan's bandits said that the tiger, bear, and pig were all corpses that Li Yan picked up by the mountainside. He doesn't have that kind of ability."

"That day, I noticed that Li Yan's physique and appearance were unusual, and I thought he was a good man. I never expected him to use such despicable methods as drugging."

It turns out that Gao Jin didn't know much about the heroes in the Water Margin in his previous life, and after coming here, he befriended figures like Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong. Naturally, he felt that famous heroes should be like Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong, either bold and generous or humble and polite.

"Brother, don't underestimate these martial arts techniques. You can easily fall into a trap if you're not careful. I've been tricked by them before, and I only survived because someone helped me."

Gao Jin said irritably, "You were drugged last time, and you've been drugged again this time! If I hadn't come to see you before I was fully healed, you would be dead! Why don't you learn your lesson!"

Lu Zhishen patted his bald head, held up his wine bowl, and said to Gao Jin, "Isn't it because you and Sister Chen are here... I'll forget about this when I'm having a good time drinking. Don't be angry, brother. I'll offer you a bowl."

When Lin Chong heard Lu Zhishen mention Chen Liqing, his expression stiffened for a moment. Then he picked up his wine bowl and said, "Speaking of Sister Chen... Now that I have escaped, I will definitely go to the Chen family mansion to apologize and not make things difficult for my brother."

Lin Chong clearly believed that Chen Liqing did not come to visit him in the prison because of his feud with Chen Xizhen.

Gao Jin touched his nose, raised his wine bowl, and said awkwardly, "Miss Chen is a respectable woman. How can she associate with us men every day and tarnish her reputation? Come on, brothers, let's drink."

Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong looked at each other in bewilderment. In this era, the separation between men and women was indeed of paramount importance.

However, Gao Jin's brother had previously injured his buttocks and couldn't move, so that woman often ran to his courtyard. They would see her every time they went out for a drink.

Why bring up reputation now? The two brothers were a little confused, but it was really not appropriate to ask, so they could only keep them company and drink.

After finishing the bowl, Gao Jin quickly changed the subject: "Brother, why did Li Yan drug you?"

What could Lu Zhishen possibly have that would be worth the robbers' attention? Could it be that Li Yan is some kind of fortune teller who knew Gao Jin was going to Lu Zhishen's house?

"Didn't I visit Li Yan before, and then accompany him hunting in the mountains? He managed to get some information out of me, and learned that I have some money, so he came to drug me."

Gao Jin thought it made sense; what man doesn't have some savings? So he teased, "Brother, how much money do you have left? If it's too much, why don't you give it to me to keep safe?"

"There's still a little over two hundred taels of gold left, brother, if you..."

"puff!"
