Chapter 3: Cheat Codes!
Chapter 3: Cheat Codes!
In early autumn, the lake water was cool to the touch.
As the eel went into the water, the surrounding sounds muffled.
Chu Lingjun looked through the eels eyes and tried to look around in the water. Even though the lake water was quite clear, his near-sighted eyes were not able to fully revel in the scenery.
It was like a romantic movie. There were only mosaics. Even if Chu Lingjun tried his best to widen his eyes or narrow them, he still couldn't see anything clearly.
He was very annoyed.
Chu Lingjun controlled the electric eel to activate the Electric Field skill.
Another image appeared in his mind. With its body as the center, electric currents spread out in all directions, causing a ripple of waves.
Suddenly, silhouettes emitting golden light appeared in the seawater. Beneath the seaweed that grew at the bottom of the lake, there was a tilapia that was 10-centimeters-long and a 20-centimeter-long carp behind him.
This ability worked like a sonar radar. Chu Lingjun, who was experiencing it first hand, felt that it was extremely wonderful.
However, the range of the Electric Field was limited.
Chu Lingjun estimated that it was about a sphere with a radius of 10 meters with the electric eel's body as the center.
This distance was still enough for the electric eel to roam around and identify beings.
As he used the Electric Field ability, Chu Lingjun found that the proficiency of the Electric Field skill on the attribute panel of the electric eel clone had increased by one point; it went from 13 points to 14 points. This made Chu Lingjun more motivated to move around. With this attribute panel, he will be able to raise all his attributes to 100 points as soon as possible!
After excitedly controlling the electric eel to swim in the lake for a while, Chu Lingjun found a hole in the ground for the electric eel to hide in, and then happily pushed Chu Yue home.
There were many tourists by the lake. The electric eel was busy eating electric fish, and the lake water was dyed red, which caught many tourists' attention.
Moreover, for the super near-sighted electric eel, the night was its home ground!
Under the golden hour, Chu Lingjun pushed Chu Yue home.
Chu Yue was happily basking in the golden light of the setting sun. She pointed at the setting sun and giggled.
He returned home around sic in the evening.
His mother, Fang Shuping, stood at the door with a worried expression. She stretched her neck out and kept looking out the corridor.
She heaved a sigh of relief when she finally saw Chu Lingjun and Chu Yue return.
Due to Chu Yue's special circumstances, Chu Lingjun's house was assigned to the first floor.
"Mom! There was… A lot of… light! Outside!"
"Yeah, there's a lot of light outside!" Fang Shuping smiled happily.
"Lingjun, wash your hands. It's time to eat."
"Okay."
Fang Shuping wanted to push her daughter's wheelchair, but Chu Lingjun didn't seem to notice and naturally pushed Chu Yue into the toilet.
Chu Lingjun washed his hands first, then picked up Chu Yue's towel to wet it. He wiped Chu Yue's face, neck, and palms.
"Ahhhh. Cold. Cold. Haha!"
Chu Yue had just cried out in surprise when she burst into laughter again after being teased by Chu Lingjun, revealing her two little canine teeth.
His mother stood in the passageway and looked at him in a daze. Her eyes watered and her face turned red.
Chu Lingjun hadn't taken the initiative to wipe his sister's face for a long time.
"Ah!"
The happy hour did not last long. It was Chu Lingjun's turn to scream and walk out of the toilet with a flustered expression.
"What's wrong?"
"Ugh, it stinks. Chu Yue must have done a number two." Chu Lingjun said awkwardly.
"Hahaha!" This time, it was his mother's turn to laugh.
She went into the room and took out an adult's diapers. She then went into the bathroom to change Chu Yue's diapers.
After a while, Chu Lingjun helped set the table.
A fragrant aroma wafted up from the dining table.
The three of them sat around the dining table.
Due to the special nature of his father, Chu Xingguo, being in the army, he did not have a fixed rest time. He was on a rotational shift basis with his other comrades.
If there was an emergency, they would have to terminate their leave immediately and return to the army unconditionally.
After Fang Shuping fed Chu Yue, she picked up a small plate of lean meat from her plate and placed half of it into Chu Lingjun's bowl. She said softly, "Your school starts tomorrow. You need to eat more meat to nourish your body. If you're lucky, you might even become an esper."
"Okay, thanks."
Chu Lingjun replied with a smile, but his hand picked up half of the lean meat on the bowl and put it into Chu Yue's bowl.
Fang Shuping was both angry and amused. She could only smack her son's head in amusement.
After dinner, he helped his mother wash the dishes. Chu Lingjun told his mother that he had to study and returned to his room.
The family room allocated by the military was not big. It was 68 square meters with two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom.
Although the house was small, the advantage was that there was no rent, no management fee, and no parking fee.
As long as they paid a little for the utility fees, they were allowed to stay. Moreover, in this world where mutated beasts frequently attacked cities, the safety of the military's residential area was guaranteed.
Chu Lingjun had his own room, while his parents and Chu Yue shared a room.
Chu Yue couldn't take care of herself, so she had to stay in the same room as her mother.
After returning to his room, Chu Lingjun practiced Cannon Fist.
The technique was quite awe-inspiring. It was taught to him by his father, Chu Xingguo. It was meant to be fierce and powerful.
However, Chu Xingguo only taught Chu Lingjun the cultivation technique to lay a foundation for him for future growth. He had not taught him the moves yet.
This world was different from Chu Lingjun's previous world. In this world, due to the spiritual energy, ancient martial arts techniques could mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth during cultivation to strengthen the body. Therefore, everyone practiced martial arts.
The country had conducted a lot of research and experiments to prove that the best time to cultivate was the first year of high school at the age of 16. Any later and it would affect one's development, causing physical deformities and various diseases.
Therefore, before the age of 16, one would usually only lay the foundation and improve their vitality.
However, it was a pity that the original Chu Lingjun had a weak and inferior personality, so his compatibility with the Cannon Fist technique was very low. The progress of the technique was extremely slow, and he gave up after trying a few times.
Even if he had just recovered from a serious illness, he would not be able to increase his vitality in such a short time.
A book title suddenly appeared in Chu Lingjun's mind, "The Relationship Between Children's Experiences and Mental Illness."
Chu Lingjun quite liked this fist technique. It was strong and fierce. After practicing it, his entire body was filled with warmth.
Every time he practiced, his body would feel a little more sturdy, which made him enjoy it very much.
Chu Lingjun's body was covered in a layer of sweat after performing a complete fist technique. The blood essence in his body seemed to have increased a little after a few days of cultivation.
However, when Chu Lingjun opened his attribute panel, he realized that his vitality was still at 6 points.
Chu Lingjun shook his head. It was really hard to raise his vitality.
Chu Lingjun took a break and took a shower. After taking a shower, he lay on the bed and closed his eyes. Then, he turned all his attention to his electric eel.
In the town center park…
The electric eel, which had been resting quietly, shook its body and swam out of the cave at the bottom of the lake.
It was dark out, but under the electric eel's Electric Field skill, Chu Lingjun could see everything within a radius of 10 meters clearly.
Chu Lingjun looked around for a while and ordered the electric eel to swim left. Further front, there was a 10-centimeter long tilapia.
As soon as he got close, he released his skill!
The blue electric arcs were released from the electric eel's body, and the water around it started boiling, emitting a large amount of white smoke bubbles!
The tilapia, which was originally taking a nap, stiffened and trembled for two seconds before its body floated upward.
It died!
Chu Lingjun controlled the electric eel to swim up and swallow the tilapia.
The electric eel had no teeth in its mouth, so it could only swallow things whole.
This was also the reason why Chu Lingjun chose this tiny tilapia. Even if the other fish were electrocuted to death, his clone would not be able to eat it.
In the future, all the fish in the lake would become nutrients for his eel's evolution. He did not want to waste his time killing them now.
"The discharge distance is about 10 meters for now..."
Chu Lingjun thought back to the process just now and quickly came to a conclusion.
After the electric eel was contracted into a clone, its body seemed to have mutated.
For example, after the tilapia was swallowed by the electric eel, it stayed in the electric eel's stomach for less than a moment before it was quickly digested and turned into energy.
The electric eel's body was warm, as if it had taken some tonic.
[Your Soul Clone has finished eating, one experience point gained.]
[Experience: 4/100]
[Skills: Electricity Discharge skill proficiency +1. Discharges (15/100)]
Chu Lingjun's eyes lit up with joy. He carefully felt the electric eel clone and made sure that it had completely digested the food in its stomach. Then, he commanded the electric eel to hunt again.
A moment later, the electric eel hunted a palm-sized Brazilian turtle and swallowed it.
Half an hour later, he caught a yellow catfish and swallowed it.
45 minutes later, he hunted a small carp and swallowed it.
An hour later…
In the face of the electric eel's powerful and unreasonable damage, these small animals had no choice and became food.
After hunting for two hours, the eel's experience points rose to 20 points. After eating more than a dozen small animals, the electric eel's stomach was finally full!
It lay lazily at the bottom of the lake, motionless, indicating that its belly could not hold on to any more meals any longer.
Chu Lingjun shook his head with a smile and let the electric eel return to the cave in front of it while keeping the Electric Field skill on.
During the hunting process, Chu Lingjun discovered that due to the unreasonable addition of the animals being freed today, the lake was full of animals lurking in the shadows. There were snakeheads, sturgeons, beaked catfish, and other ferocious fish.
Due to the recovery of the world's spiritual energy, although these fish had not completely mutated, they were still affected by the power. Some of them even grew larger than they were supposed to!
Chu Lingjun didn't want his clones to be attacked by these beasts while it was resting!
The electric eel's body was smooth and did not have scales to protect it. Once it was bitten by these ferocious fish, it would die without a doubt.
At the same time, he could also increase his proficiency by constantly releasing the Electric Field skill. It was killing two birds with one stone!
"Hmm?"
After disconnecting with the eel, he suddenly realized that something was wrong with his body.
He felt warm inside his body, as if there was a surge of vitality circulating inside his body.
Chu Lingjun walked in front of the mirror. His originally weak and pale face had an additional trace of livelihood!
[Name: Chu Lingjun]
[Vitality: 7]
[Spirit: 25]
[Talent: Soul Clone (Electric Eel)]
…
[Name: Electric Eel]
[Vitality: 6]
[Spirit: 25]
[Level: Ungraded]
[Experience: 20/100]
[Talent: Lightning Control]
[Skills: Electric Discharge (31/100), Electric Field (32/100)]
He opened his attribute panel and saw that his vitality had increased from 6 points to 7 points!
Chu Lingjun immediately understood that this was the energy that his clone had fed back to his body after consuming a large amount of food!
Chu Lingjun was surprised and delighted!
He had practiced the Cannon Fist for so many days without adding a single point, but the electric eel had increased it after eating!
Was this cheating? It felt so good!
Of course, this was also because he had lost a large amount of vitality due to his injuries a while ago. Now that he had regained his strength, he could quickly be on his way to recovery!
It was already a large leap for him to gain one point so quickly.
