章節 61: Chapter 61: Preparation
After washing the dishes, Li Huan took a shower to relax his tired body. After a whole day of running around, he was drenched in sweat and would have felt uncomfortable if he hadn't washed up.
After his shower, Li Huan changed into a fresh set of clothes and put on a sweater. He headed to the living room, where only Tom remained. Tom was sitting on the couch with a remote control, a bag of chips, and a can of cola, watching TV.
"Tom doesn't seem tired at all…" Li Huan remarked, looking at Tom who appeared very energetic despite the events of the day.
[What's so surprising? Cats are nocturnal creatures; night is when their activities start—though for Tom, it seems any time is fine.]
"True, it's Tom after all."
Li Huan looked at Tom and then returned to his own room.
What? You're wondering why he isn't going to try out Dream Leap with Kiana and the others?
The reason is simple— they just went to sleep, and he doesn't know if they're actually asleep yet. If he went now, he might end up being beaten up by the girls. It's better to wait a bit.
Besides, he could also collect his reward for completing the main storyline mission.
Back in his room, Li Huan closed the door and turned on the light. He was startled when he entered his room.
The room was luxuriously decorated, spacious, and well-equipped with bookshelves, vases, a TV, a computer, and even a large double bed. It was clear that Tom had given special attention to this room.
This made Li Huan feel warm inside; Tom was truly a loyal companion.
He approached the desk and opened the system's task bar. The mainline task of escaping Thousand Feathers Academy had a line drawn through it, indicating completion, and the completion button appeared.
After pressing the button, Li Huan saw the rewards for the task.
[1000 Joy Points, 1 Summoning Token]
"Summoning Token, huh…" Li Huan looked at it with mixed feelings.
If the system hadn't previously discussed the summoning series with him, he might have eagerly used it. But now, he was hesitant to use it.
"What should I do with this… Should I recycle it?"
[You could, but my suggestion is not to.] The system responded seriously. [Although it might turn out to be useless, it could be quite effective in critical moments.]
"Really? Then I'll go with your suggestion."
Li Huan, though skeptical, put the token away.
"Anyway, let me check out the route you suggested earlier."
Li Huan said as he opened the shop.
He had accumulated about 300 Joy Points before, and now he had a total of 1300. With this amount, he could exchange for some excellent skills and items, but he had specific goals in mind.
He went straight to the skills section, selected the high-quality option, and browsed the shop's contents.
Soon, he found what he was looking for—three skills.
[Skill Name: Battle Healing]
[Level: High Quality]
[Requirements: Use blunt weapons]
[Skill Effect: Delivers a powerful blow to a target with a blunt weapon, randomly healing one of the target's injuries. Cooldown: 20 minutes.
[Skill Notes: Injuries can be treated with strikes. What? You ask where this healing method comes from? Ura!]
[PS: This cannot be used on oneself, after all, not everyone is Blackjack]
This skill was powerful for healing purposes. The only issue was that it couldn't be used on oneself. It cost 500 points, which was quite expensive but very worthwhile.
Removing the versatile Tom from the equation, one would notice that none of the four could heal others. Considering Tom might not always be around, this skill would be useful in case of sudden injuries.
Though blunt weapon strikes might cause other injuries, combining it with the Dream Hammer's weak attack would mitigate this flaw.
Now, for the second skill:
[Skill Name: Cardboard Box Camouflage ]
[Level: High Quality]
[Requirements: A cardboard box]
[Skill Effect: When hiding inside a cardboard box, significantly conceals your presence from detection]
[Skill Notes: A traditional infiltration method from the legendary spy family, the Snake clan. If you hide in a cardboard box, enemies will perceive you as invisible]
[PS: Don't get yourself caught, as being discovered will alert all enemies to your presence]
This skill cost 400 points and only required a cardboard box for effective infiltration. It was great for home use, traveling, or discreet actions.
However, as the description mentioned, if discovered, it would cause a chain reaction, alerting all enemies to Li Huan's presence. Despite this, it remained highly practical.
Finally, the last skill:
[Skill Name: Come Over Here!]
[Level: High Quality]
[Requirements: An extremely arrogant gesture]
[Skill Effect: Designates a target, causing them to become 100% enraged. Cooldown: 10 minutes]
[Skill Notes: Come~ Over~ Here~!]
A decent tank must have a taunt skill. This skill was a permanent control ability that drew enemy attention to Li Huan. It cost 300 points, totaling 1200 points with the previous skills, leaving him with 100 points.
Though it was painful to spend, Li Huan swapped it out without hesitation.
The choice to swap skills was to enhance himself. Just like when you start working and living alone, don't worry about saving money; ensure your basic needs are met first.
With these skills learned, Li Huan's path as a support character was becoming clearer.
"Well… this is good."
[By the way, are you not considering abnormal status resistances?] The system asked with concern.
"Let's put that aside for now. Considering mental abnormalities, it should be quite difficult with you around, and for physical ones, they require breaking defenses first."
Li Huan patted his sweater and said, "As for defense, I'm not worried at all."
[As you wish…]
While chatting, Li Huan retrieved the skills from his inventory. This time, there were three books:
"From Beginner to Helping Others Rest in Peace—On the Revolutionary Role of Blunt Weapon Strikes in Medical Science"
"Snake Family's Secret Cardboard Box Infiltration Technique" (with a price tag of fifty cents per book)
"How to Quickly Get a Beating" (Cover shows someone using their finger to gesture seductively)
"Quite some cliché titles…" Li Huan commented, "I hope I don't have to eat them this time."
[You only need to read the books; the same author won't use the same trick twice.]
"Well then, let's see…"
Fortunately, the content of the three books was brief, and Li Huan finished reading them in about half an hour.
After finishing each book, it turned to dust, and the skills appeared in his skill bar.
Feeling the new knowledge in his mind, Li Huan couldn't help but smile. He had become stronger and was gradually moving towards a path of being a support tank with control abilities.
"Now, the next thing to do is to prepare to enter their dreams. First—."
Li Huan said as he lay down on his bed.
"Let's sleep first."
Not knowing if they were asleep yet, he planned to sleep for an hour or two before sneaking into their rooms. Setting the alarm for two hours later, Li Huan settled into bed and fell asleep.
