how did I fall asleep?”
Time passed unnoticed until Zhang Xiaoman slowly opened his eyes.
He looked around, slightly confused, and then suddenly sat upright.
“What’s going on?
Why is it dark already?
I remember I just got up this morning…”
With this thought, Xiaoman checked the time, which left him completely baffled.
“Midnight!
It’s midnight!?
Where did all my time go!?”
His gaze swept around and suddenly fixed on the coffee table beside him, where the Enlightenment Kaleidoscope he had obtained the day before was placed.
He grabbed the gadget and, looking at the last displayed time of 6.66 seconds, he had an epiphany.
“Could it be you, the little demon, who stole my time?”
He poked around on the screen with his finger and accidentally activated it again, only to hear that pleasant system voice inside say, “For your health, please do not use this again within a short period of time.
There should be a 48-hour interval between each use.”
Zhang Xiaoman was stunned for a moment before narrowing his eyes, “So it was you all along!
No wonder you asked if the environment was safe earlier, you were planning on making me sleep!”
Zhang Xiaoman was shocked to find that he had just set a new record for the longest sleeping time in his house.
Including the previous night’s sleep, he had slept for a total of 24 hours yesterday!
This perfectly broke Zhang Xiaohua’s record of 15 hours.
He shook his head helplessly.
Although he felt the gadget was somewhat tricky, he still carefully put it away to prevent his cat and dog from treating it as a toy and spoiling it.
After all, it was said to be something the Star Alliance used to train newcomers’ spiritual power.
Thinking of spiritual power, Xiaoman opened his attribute panel with some anticipation, but after seeing it was still just the additional 3 points from the cape, he closed it again, quite disappointed.
“Maybe it’s because I only used it once and the effects aren’t apparent yet.
I’ll try again after a few more uses…”
While pondering, he stood up and walked to the kitchen.
He hadn’t eaten all day, and his stomach was now growling.
After looking around a bit and not finding anything particular he wanted to eat, Zhang Xiaoman simply picked up his phone and ordered some barbecue delivery.
Now that he had money to spare, he certainly planned to enjoy himself.
He peeked into his mother’s room; she should have already been asleep by this time.
However, Jin Bao, upon realizing he had woken up, dashed over impatiently, barking crazily:
“Let’s go out!
Let’s go out!
I need to pee!
I can’t hold it any longer!”
Zhang Xiaoman calmly patted its head and then hurried to the bathroom to relieve himself, leaving Jin Bao scampering about outside the door.
“Let’s go out!
Let’s go out!
Or I’ll pee on the sofa!”
Zhang Xiaoman glared, “Wow, the little guy is threatening me now?
You’ve got quite some nerve!”
Jin Bao span around in circles, desperately barking to go outside.
Concerned the dog might disturb others, Xiaoman was ready to open the door to take him out for a walk and to pick up the delivery when he suddenly noticed a golden light rising from Jin Bao’s body and a majestic presence followed.
“Holy shit!
What’s going on!?”
Zhang Xiaoman was stunned for only a moment before he realized what had happened — this silly dog had actually triggered a skill by holding its pee!
Jin Bao’s entire body radiated dazzling golden light, with mysterious runes occasionally projecting around him, and the magnanimous aura of the Heavenly Dao spreading out, making him seem like a…
heavenly dog descending to earth.
“Help!
Help!
Help!”
But Jin Bao got scared by the light emitting from its own body and began running wildly in the living room, trying to shake off the peculiar phenomenon, filling the Zhang Family home with golden light.
Zhang Xiaoman was astounded by the scene, never imagining that the dog could actually activate a skill, and such a fancy one at that, without knowing exactly how it had triggered it.
After a few more seconds, the glow on Jin Bao faded, and it returned to its normal appearance.
“Alright, let’s go.
You really know how to make a fuss…” Zhang Xiaoman said helplessly.
He went out to walk the dog and pick up the delivery, his mind full of thoughts.
He pondered how he could help Jin Bao master this newfound ability completely.
“Since holding in pee can bring out a Skill, there must be some reason behind it that compels Jin Bao to feel the need to use a Skill.”
After he finished speaking, he cast a not-so-kind glance toward Jin Bao, who was playing on the grass, having already schemed in his heart.
“Dog Jin Bao, it looks like you’re going to suffer these next few days…”
…
In the following four days, Zhang Xiaoman began his inhumane special Skill training for Jin Bao the dog.
Using the common reward training method and his own innovation of the holding in pee training method, he finally succeeded in fostering Jin Bao the dog’s habit of using his Skill.
Although Zhang Xiaoman never did figure out on what premise the creature decided to use his Skill, as long as it could be used, that was good enough.
Now he only needed the command “sofa,” and Jin Bao would more or less be able to use the “Following the Way of Heaven” Skill.
While training Jin Bao, Zhang Xiaoman also made sure to keep up with his own exercises.
After the 48-hour waiting interval had passed, he once again used the Enlightenment Kaleidoscope.
This time, he took off his cloak and emptied his energy bar before using it, so his performance dropped by a large margin from the last time, clocking in at only 3.79 seconds.
He even slept for a whole 17 hours during his subsequent recovery sleep.
If he hadn’t explained in advance, his mom might have suspected that he was sick.
The only regret was that his spiritual power on the attribute panel still hadn’t increased.
During this time, Li Xiang also sent him three pieces of intelligence:
One was from an abandoned factory where there were always creepy laughs.
Another was from an alley in the old city district where scary ghostly figures were said to be seen in the middle of the night.
The last was under a dilapidated bridge where the nearby residents said that a thick fog had spread in recent days, and occasionally, terrifying screams could be heard.
Zhang Xiaoman gave him an encouraging smile but had yet to find the time to investigate; he planned to start visiting these places one by one the next day.
What frustrated him the most was that the items he got from the lottery these past few days were all gray, leading him to doubt whether he had fallen back into the ranks of the unlucky ones.
[Wild Flowers by the Roadside]
– Don’t pick the wild flowers by the roadside.
[Strawberry Picked Clean Except For One Seed]
– The person who picked it must be going crazy.
[Green Gang Sword]
– Too bad it’s just a tabletop game card.
[A Cloud]
– “I am a free and easy cloud, if anyone wants to imprison me, I’ll die just to show them!”
Zhang Xiaoman was speechless with such outcomes.
Especially the last cloud, which made his room damp, only to end with no trace of it left, truly “heroic like fire.”
Looking at the remaining three gray items beside him, Zhang Xiaoman suppressed the urge to simply throw them away and chose to keep them instead.
Not for anything else, he just wanted to see if the System would select gray-level items when randomly performing an Upgrade.
After all, following several Upgrades, Zhang Xiaoman understood that these selected items would undoubtedly become increasingly more powerful.
Based on the principle that anything can be subject to Enlightenment, he still held a certain degree of fantasy for these gray items.
