Chapter 11

Nested Doll! Green Skill Book? No! It’s Red!

“A random skill book?”

Mo Xiao looked at the things in his backpack and said in surprise.

As everyone knew, skill books were the rarest things in this world.

Even a white skill book could be sold for 500 to 600,000 dragon coins.

After all, the drop rate for these things was really low.

Although random skill books were slightly cheaper, even so, a green random skill book could fetch a price of over a million.

Although a place like the school might not lack this bit of money, it was indeed a generous reward for a level five newcomer.

“Yes, the school knows you are a solo player, and the source of skills is a big problem, so they discussed and decided to give you this.”

Li Xun smiled and patted Mo Xiao on the shoulder. “Don’t let the school down, okay?”

“Yeah, thanks, teacher.”

Mo Xiao nodded calmly. Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Li Xun.

Before he could ask, Li Xun directly said, “The next issue is about forming teams. Everyone has to form teams, it’s a mandatory requirement of the school!”

Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao instantly understood why Li Xun stopped him.

Since enrolling, he had always been a lone wolf. Even when the school belle Jiang He took the initiative to approach him, she couldn’t get close to him.

Clearly, this requirement of the school would be something he would reject, and he might even try to run away secretly.

“Can’t I not form a team?” Mo Xiao looked at Li Xun with some helplessness.

Li Xun, with an expressionless face, said, “You brat, don’t even think about running away. Forming a team this time is a task arranged by the school, all for your safety. Don’t make things difficult for me!”

“For me... I’m safer alone.”

Mo Xiao muttered to himself, but under Li Xun’s intimidating presence, he ultimately didn’t say anything.

“Alright, stop wasting time. Just pick someone to team up with. With your current abilities, I bet everyone would be fighting to be on your team,” Li Xun continued.

“Or how about Jiang He? You two seem to get along well,” Li Xun suggested.

As soon as Li Xun said that, Jiang He’s beautiful eyes instantly lit up with anticipation.

Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao looked at Jiang He, whose eyes were sparkling nearby, and felt conflicted in his heart.

Just then, Su Wei’s voice suddenly echoed in the classroom, “Mo Xiao! How about teaming up with my people?”

His words stunned the whole class.

“Aren’t you an idiot? Everyone knows you and Mo Xiao have the worst relationship. You want him to team up with you?” someone exclaimed.

Su Wei glanced at the others with disdain and said directly, “Listen carefully, it’s not me teaming up with him, it’s my people teaming up with him!

“I have two bodyguards. I can have them follow you.”

“Don’t you dislike having others around? They have received professional training. As long as you say the word, they won’t even look at you or speak, unless you encounter danger. Otherwise, they won’t bother you. How about it?”

Hearing this, Mo Xiao felt a tinge of excitement because Su Wei’s proposal was indeed a good option.

“Why are you helping me?” Mo Xiao asked with a frown.

Su Wei’s lips curved into a slight smile and he replied, “I’m not helping you, I’m just making a deal with you. I’m interested in that bow you have.

“I’ll give you my bodyguards, and when you want to change equipment, you give me that bow. How about it?”

Although the Bow of Stars was an orange weapon, it was still a low-level weapon.

Mo Xiao knew that he couldn’t use this weapon forever.

Furthermore, with his talent for scavenging, it wouldn’t be difficult to acquire better equipment.

Exchanging a low-level orange-grade weapon for tranquility was indeed a good deal.

After contemplating for a moment, Mo Xiao nodded slightly, “Alright, deal.”

“Okay, I’ll inform them right away.” Su Wei’s eyes flickered with excitement as he sent out the message upon Mo Xiao’s agreement.

“The fish has taken the bait. It’s up to you now!”

Although Li Xun was somewhat surprised why Mo Xiao agreed to Su Wei’s suggestion, he didn’t say much. After all, it counted as forming a team, and with two high-level bodyguards protecting Mo Xiao,

it was undoubtedly safer.

As for Jiang He, she had an uncle who was a deputy city lord. Safety matters would naturally be taken care of by others, and the school didn’t need to worry about her.

After the final class meeting, everyone left the classroom.

For them, leveling up was the most important thing at the moment.

Just as Mo Xiao was about to leave, Jiang He walked up to him with a touch of resentment.

“I thought I could team up with you like this. Su Wei is really despicable!”

Mo Xiao’s mouth twitched upon hearing her words, but he didn’t say anything, “...”

Seeing Mo Xiao’s silence, Jiang He smiled helplessly, “Well, I was just joking. Work hard in leveling up!”

“Yeah... you too.”

Jiang He smiled in satisfaction, bid farewell to Mo Xiao, and left the school with light steps.

After confirming that everyone had left, Mo Xiao took out the random skill book in the classroom.

“Phew, finally everyone’s gone. Let me see what this thing can give me.”

Mo Xiao extended his hand eagerly and rubbed the random skill book.

[You rubbed the random skill book (green), and it upgraded to a random skill book (blue).]

“Oh, let’s continue the nesting.”

[You opened the random skill book (blue) and obtained the skill book “Dragon Fire Art”!]

“A blue-tier fire-based skill! That’s amazing!”

Seeing this, Mo Xiao was overjoyed.

Now that he possessed the power of the Fire God, all he had to do was upgrade the Dragon Fire Art twice, and then, with the power of the Fire God, he could level it up!

In theory, he had a chance to obtain a red-tier skill through this nesting process!

Mo Xiao took a deep breath and rubbed the skill book in front of him once again.

[You rubbed the skill book Dragon Fire Art! Dragon Fire Art upgraded to Dragon Breath!]

[You rubbed Dragon Breath! Dragon Breath upgraded to Dragon Dance!]

Looking at the skill book in his hand that was filled with golden light, Mo Xiao couldn’t help but gulp.

Even though he had the power of the Fire God and the power of the Thousand Catties, he had never possessed a golden-tier skill before!

And it was a fire-based skill, which sounded incredibly powerful!

“Learn!”

Mo Xiao held the skill book and silently recited.

Instantly, the skill book in his hand turned into a stream of light and fused into his body.

Soon, a system prompt resounded in his mind.

[Congratulations, you have learned the skill Dragon Dance!]

[A newly learned fire-based skill detected. The power of the Fire God has been triggered! Your Dragon Dance has been upgraded!] n0VelusB.c0m

As the system prompt sounded, Mo Xiao widened his eyes in astonishment.

“Holy...!”
