After the NPC soldiers left, Li Xiaonian hurriedly hid away, for fear that Kuiluo would catch up again.
He found a remote corner.
Opening the package, Li Xiaonian adroitly put the [Energy Gold Crystal] into the [Shadow] in the sealed state.
As soon as he approached, the gold crystal weighing 150 grams was immediately engulfed by [Shadow].
Ding…
System: “You’ve replenished energy for the space battleship (Shadow) for the first time and are rewarded with a Gift Package for the Captain.”
Li Xiaonian rubbed his hands, a little nervous.
In his previous life, when he replenished energy for the Shadow for the first time, he only gave it a crystal stone, which was the cheapest energy, and the reward was a silver-level pistol and some life potions.
In this life, he fed the space battleship a gold crystal worth up to 30,000 yuan from the beginning, and perhaps the rewards he would get would be better.
Was 30,000 yuan much? For him in his previous life, 30,000 yuan was a negligible amount, but now he was as poor as a church mouse and 30,000 yuan was enough to make his family happy for a few months.
He clicked the package open.
Ding…
System: “You get a colorful skill book [Proficient in junior fighting skills].”
“Huh? What? Just a skill book? A junior skill book?” Li Xiaonian frowned.
The price of a junior skill book was not expensive, generally only costing tens or hundreds of yuan, but he had just spent a full 30,000 yuan on the energy.
He clicked open the detailed introduction of the skill book.
[Proficient in Junior Fighting Skills]
Level: Colorful;
Attributes:
1. Health Point +200;
2. Acquiring this skill adds 10 years of fighting experience. (Reminder: After learning this skill book, the user will be instilled with 10 years of fighting memory, and side effects such as dizziness, brain swelling, nausea, etc. may occur. This phenomenon is within the normal range. Please don’t worry too much.)
…
When Li Xiaonian saw the introduction of skill attributes, his eyes widened, and his breathing became rapid. “Wow… how is it possible! Instilling 10 years of fighting memory? That’s way over the top!”
Li Xiaonian was stunned for quite a while. Suddenly, he smiled and murmured, “It turns out that in addition to ordinary, rare, legendary, and god levels, there is still a ‘colorful’ level for skill books.”
In his previous life, he was just a nouveau riche. Although his personal strength was strong, he could not reach the core area of the game. From some gossips, he vaguely knew that “Star Wind” was not just an ordinary virtual online game, but he didn’t figure out what was special about it.
Now, seeing the attributes of the skill book, he finally knew the core secrets of “Star Wind”.
“It’s no wonder that some large companies invest in “Star Wind” at all costs. It turned out that they want to get colorful skill books.”
He took out the skill book from the package
and clicked to use it.
Ding…
System: “Once you open the colorful skill book, 10 years of fighting memory will be instilled in you, 3…2…1.”
Suddenly, Li Xiaonian felt his head swell rapidly, and inexpressible nausea spread rapidly on his body. At the same time, a cold sweat broke out on his body.
The whole process took about ten seconds.
However, in these ten seconds, he seemed to have passed ten years.
In these ten years, he was like a robot without emotion, using different weapons to fight different enemies. He experienced death again and again.
From the initial difficulties to the proficient use of fighting skills, in the end, he could easily fight back and kill the enemies.
“Puff…”
After the memory was instilled, Li Xiaonian took a long breath and clenched his fists excitedly.
The experience he gained from ten years of sleepless fighting made his confidence sky high and he was even a little bloated. Looking in the direction of the ring, he smiled. “Xiaolang? Humph, you’re absolutely no match for me.”
He opened the personal attributes bar.

[Special Title]: Captain of the Shadow (Space Battleship).

Equipment slot: None;

Balance: 900 gold coins;
…
Seeing the HP attribute, Li Xiaonian smiled. “Nice, my HP has increased by 200 points. Even if I die 200 times in the novice base, it won’t affect me much.”
In the middle and later stages of the game, the player’s attributes would be infinitely weakened. Most capable players would have a set of mecha. Of course, wearing mecha should meet attribute requirements. If the health point was too low, the mecha couldn’t be controlled.
Everything was ready.
Li Xiaonian was about to go to the ring when he heard:
Ding…
System: You’ve got a new message.
He opened it and it was a message from Tianyu.
“Bro, are you really an elite of the Red Legion?”
Li Xiaonian was silent for a moment and replied, “I know you have a way. I’ll transfer 900 gold coins to you, so remember to bet on my win. Of course, if you want to bet yourself, you must give me 50% of the profit.”
Tianyu was his brother. It was impossible for him to swallow up the entire casino’s bet with 900 gold coins. In that case, he didn’t mind breaking the information to Tianyu.
Immediately, Li Xiaonian transferred all 900 gold coins to Tianyu without any agreement. Of course, he could bet on his own, but if he acted too confidently, it would affect the odds offered on his win.
Tianyu was stunned at Li Xiaonian’s series of actions.
“Bro, aren’t you afraid that I will take your money!!!”
Li Xiaonian was slightly taken aback.
In his impression, this shameless guy would really do something like that. In order to protect his money, Li Xiaonian sent a message, fiercely threatening, “Meng Yu, male, 21 years old, the second young master of Tianhua Group, living in No. 06 Villa of Tianhe Villa District. If you dare to take my money, I’ll bury explosives in your house tomorrow.”
Tianyu was dumbfounded and instantly freaked out. “F*ck, I knew it. You know me, right? Now tell me which bastard you are.”
“Don’t ask questions you shouldn’t ask. I won’t tell you even if you ask. Come on, use your connections to make a bet on my win. Remember, keep low-key. If I don’t make enough money, I’ll kill you.”
…
In the ring area.
The news about the match between Li Xiaonian and Xiaolang went viral, attracting a lot of attention.
Even the vice-president of the Wolf Walk Guild had heard the news.
Lang Burang looked at Xiaolang beside him and asked, “I’ve heard about the match between you and June. Are you confident to win?”
Xiaolang nodded. “Vice-President, you know I used to serve in the Special Forces. That brat June doesn’t look like a reserve elite of the Red Legion at all although he somewhat has the temperament of a soldier. ”
Lang Burang smiled. “I’ve never been a soldier, so I don’t know much about the soldier thing. Since you are confident to win, I have nothing to worry about. Anyway, he claimed to be a member of the Red Legion, so save him some face.”
Lang Burang was clear that although the Red Legion was known as the strongest legion, not every one of its members was an expert in combat, and some of its members were talents in other fields.
It was unwise to start a feud with the Red Legion for a trivial matter.
Time passed bit by bit.
Seeing that the agreed time was approaching but Li Xiaonian still hadn’t shown up, the enthusiastic onlookers couldn’t help but complain.
“Um… why hasn’t June appeared yet? Did he run away?”
“I don’t know, but it’s impossible for him to run away. You know, this is one of the base camps of our guild. Where can he go?”
“Haha, June said that he could beat 10 Xiaolang put together alone. Isn’t this bragging? I guess he was so scared after figuring out what he would face, so he hid away.”
“Oh, no! I’ve bet on this match. Although the odds offered are very low, the smallest amount of money is still money.”
…
On the other side.
Tianyu used his weak connections to let others place bets.
Then he sent the details of the bet to Li Xiaonian.
1. If the match ended within 6 minutes and Xiaolang won, the odds are 1:0.4; (equivalent to betting one dollar and earning four dimes.)
2. 6~10 minutes, Xiaolang won, 1:0.4;
3. No time limit, June won, 1:1;
4. Within 6 minutes, June won, 1:2.5;
…
There were only four betting options. Li Xiaonian took a look and couldn’t help but complain, “Sure enough, the capitalists are all shrewd. The highest odds are only 1:2.5.”
Without considering, Li Xiaonian sent a message to Tianyu. “All bet on the fourth option.”
Tianyu’s heart trembled when he saw Li Xiaonian’s message. “My dear friend, you’re a war doctor, and the opponent is a giant. He has a professional restraint on you. No matter how confident you are, it’s almost impossible for you to win the game within six minutes, let alone the fact that Xiaolang was once a Special Forces soldier.”
“Just do what I said.”
Tianyu sighed helplessly. “Fine, you are awesome, you are amazing. Don’t blame me if you lose.”
…
After making sure that all 900 gold coins were successfully bet, Li Xiaonian went straight to the ring.
