Chapter 3 The Land of Flowing Shadows
The black text appeared before my eyes, with a slow, flowing quality.
"no."
Lin Ye silently recited it in his heart.
The black text disappeared, and his gaze fell on the back of his hand. The monument appeared, and the third unlock condition showed "Completed".
After thinking for a moment, he put down the diary in his hand.
The wording "Completed" remains unchanged.
He then picked up another brown book with words on the cover and flipped through it. This brown book had less than ten pages.
All of them are handwritten, and they are those strange symbols and characters.
In addition, there are hand-drawn plant and animal patterns, which are very realistic and clear.
He nodded to himself. There was a computer in the room; perhaps he could find relevant information through the patterns on it.
Moreover, he vaguely recognized some of these patterns; it seemed like he had seen them somewhere in the original owner's memories.
Unlock achievement.
He silently recited it in his heart.
The next moment, the surrounding scene seemed to freeze.
Black mist emanated from the ouroboros mark on the back of his hand and spread upwards along his arm.
A cool sensation spread from my arm throughout my body, which felt very comfortable.
Before long, the cool air gradually disappeared, and Lin Ye couldn't help but exhale.
On the back of my hand, the black ouroboros mark glowed faintly.
The surrounding scenery changed, and he was startled. He reached out and grabbed the diary on the desk.
But before they could even touch it, a dizzying sensation swept through the room, and everything around them had returned to the room they were in at the beginning.
"Ono?"
A slightly tired voice reached his ears, and Lin Ye came back to his senses, looking at his 'mother' Jiang Weilan sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Although he is over forty, he looks much younger, only in his early thirties.
However, her eyes were a little red and she looked somewhat forlorn.
He was holding a cell phone, seemingly about to make a call.
"mom."
He responded, feeling inexplicably nervous.
In his previous life, he was an orphan who had never experienced family affection, and for a moment he was somewhat flustered.
Jiang Weilan smiled, assuming her son was worried about tuition fees.
"Don't worry, we still have some savings."
Lin Ye's eyes lit up. "Mom, how about we apply for a student loan?"
My mother was just an ordinary bank employee. Although the benefits were good, her take-home pay wasn't much.
Supporting his sister and him, his savings from his early years were almost gone.
He now has a monument in hand, and although he hasn't unlocked any money-related achievements yet, he can start making some plans.
"What are you saying!"
Jiang Weilan glared at him.
"There are too many scams in this industry. Even if you graduate and get a job at a big company, you won't be able to pay it off in three to five years."
"Moreover, there's this 'kill line' thing online, which sounds terrifying."
"You don't need to worry about tuition fees; your family has the money."
"It's getting late, go get some rest. Tomorrow's summer vacation, have some fun and relax."
She spoke with a smile, and some of the fatigue on her face disappeared.
Lin Ye was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Mm."
After the door closed, Jiang Weilan smiled with relief, looked at her phone screen, and took a deep breath.
Contact Person - Brother
Back in his room, Lin Ye's breathing became a little rapid. He quickly sat down at his desk and drew the curtains.
He put down the brown book in his hand and looked at the ouroboros pattern on the back of his hand.
Silently recite "monument" in your heart, and a weathered ancient monument appears.
In the lower half of the monument, the previously triggered achievements have disappeared.
In the upper half, an extra line of information has appeared in the blank "Abilities" column.
[Ability - Yin-dominant constitution (1/10)]
Potential Point: 1
A stream of information flooded his mind, and he immediately understood.
(1/10) represents the number of times, not experience points. As long as you undergo the Yin-dominant constitution baptism nine more times, this constitution will be upgraded.
Apart from that, his four-dimensional attributes remained unchanged, and the "Yin-dominant physique" did not seem to enhance his physical fitness.
However, the number after the potential point has become 1, and a smaller ouroboros symbol has appeared after the four-dimensional attributes and "Yin-dominant physique".
This means he can use this 1 potential point to increase one of the four attributes, or to increase the number of times he has the "Yin-dominant Physique" by 1.
After a moment's thought, his gaze fell on the four-dimensional attributes, and he decided to add some strength.
After all, strength is the lowest among his four attributes.
And relatively speaking, the risk is also the lowest.
"Monument, add points to Strength attribute."
As he silently recited a phrase, a faint black light emanated from the surface of the black monument in front of him.
A wisp of black energy spread upwards from its bottom and disappeared into the strength attribute column.
At the same time, a familiar, chilling aura spread from the Ouroboros mark into his body.
Strangely, I didn't feel uncomfortable at all; instead, I felt a sense of openness and clarity, as if all the pores of my body were open.
"Crack, pop."
"Click, click..."
The bones made a faint knocking sound, accompanied by a slight vibration, and a tingling sensation spread throughout the body, with a feeling of fullness surging from the depths of the bone marrow.
About five seconds later, the chilling aura disappeared, and Lin Ye's gaze fell on the monument.
【Strength: 0.59】
"One potential point increased Strength attribute by 0.1."
The other three-dimensional attributes should also see the same increase.
Clench your fist so tightly that your nails dig into your palm.
I squeezed my forearm with my other hand and moved my elbow around; the feeling of my muscles tightening felt great.
"It's gotten thicker and harder."
"His strength has increased considerably, but I don't know the specific improvement figures."
He stood up and tried to throw a punch using his boxing stance from his previous life. His fist sliced through the air, delivering a powerful impact.
After playing for a while, he stood on the scale in the room. The pointer pointed to 72kg, and his height was displayed as 181cm.
"I've grown 1 centimeter in height, and my weight before my afternoon nap was around 70 kilograms."
"So, the strength attribute roughly corresponds to muscle strength, bone density, and neural recruitment ability."
It's normal to gain a little weight.
Looking at the ouroboros mark on the back of my hand, it looked like a faded black tattoo.
He thought of the monster in the church, wondering if there were any other achievements that could be triggered from that monster.
If possible, is it possible to gain other abilities?
I pulled out a chair, sat down, and turned on the computer. After a buzzing sound, the screen lit up, and the desktop displayed a picture of a grassland landscape.
He opened the Super Bar forum, recalled the monster, and entered some of its characteristics into the search bar.
A dozen minutes later, I had browsed through hundreds of related posts.
He frowned; he hadn't found any useful information.
After a moment of silence, he typed "Yinyu" into the search bar.
A few minutes later, no information about the Yin Domain was found.
However, I found a somewhat related term – the Land of Flowing Yin.
Clicking on the post reveals no information other than a title and a webpage link.
Opening the link opened a webpage, and the light emanating from the entire computer screen suddenly dimmed.
Lin Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the screen.
"The flowing shadows are a history of pollution."
"Anyone who enters will not enter only once."
Remember! You are not chasing after the spirits, but rather the spirits are chasing you!
