Panel

[Target: Wang Ru]

[Skill: Psychiatric Nursing (Proficient)]

[Size: 4M (Status: Not downloadable)]

(Description: Contains core professional knowledge including patient observation, medication management, and crisis identification.)

[Target: Li Dalin]

[Skill: Safety Restraint Technique (Skilled)]

[Download Traffic: 3M (Status: Downloadable)]

(Description: Can quickly and effectively control violent or self-harming patients without causing injury; includes various joint locks, physical suppression, and collaborative restraint techniques.)

Seeing this, Hu Long understood what was happening after a moment's thought.

He knew Wang Ru; she was the nurse who had just given him his medication, and her name was written on the badge pinned to her chest.

As for Li Dalin, who followed, that must be the name of the male orderly.

The skills were even easier to understand; they were clearly the abilities possessed by these two individuals.

Watching the text fade, Hu Long felt a stir in his heart as he considered the reason for its appearance.

Does it only appear through physical contact?

The anomalous text before his eyes had only manifested when those two touched him. As they walked away, the text in his field of vision began to dim.

But what did this mean? Could it be that he was capable of downloading their skills?

The moment this thought crossed Hu Long's mind, a silvery-white light screen suddenly materialized before his eyes.

[User: Hu Long]

[Skill: Network Offense and Defense (Master)]

[Network Speed: 8M/S]

[Traffic: 0M]

[Source Value: 3 wisps]

Although the characters on the panel were not ones he recognized, he could understand them with eerie ease. Simultaneously, a stream of simple information flooded into his mind.

Combined with the information he had seen earlier, it was easy for Hu Long to grasp his current situation and the function of this panel.

His guess had been correct: in short, he could obtain Source Value, convert it into traffic, and then use it to download skills from others.

He also gained a basic understanding of how these skills were graded.

On the panel, these skills were divided into five levels, representing the depth of each person's mastery.

From lowest to highest, they were: Novice, Skilled, Proficient, Master, and Perfection.

First, Novice: This belongs to the beginner stage, grasping only the surface. It is a first glimpse into a skill, mastering the most basic theories and methods, yet clumsy and awkward, capable only of rote imitation. It means one understands it, but is far from truly knowing how to use it.

Second, Skilled: The foundation is solid, and one has entered the fold. One can use the skill with relative proficiency and handle general situations. It means one can use it, but is not yet refined.

Third, Proficient: The core essence has been fully grasped. One can use it freely and with ease; those who reach this realm are already rare. Mastery is refined, and one can draw inferences from one instance to others; this is the key watershed for becoming an expert.

Fourth, Master: One's technique has reached a state of pure perfection, possessing one's own understanding and style, approaching the limits of that skill system. This belongs to the realm of experts, unattainable by ordinary people.

Fifth, Perfection: This represents reaching the pinnacle, returning to simplicity, flawless and reaching the theoretical end of that path. There is no room for further progress; it is seamless. To master a skill to this extent is one in ten thousand.

As for the only skill on the panel, Network Offense and Defense, which was rated as Master, that was the skill possessed by his original self.

Due to the circumstances of the original body's family.

He had been exposed to a wide range of courses from a young age, displaying an astonishing talent, particularly in the field of information security.

Following systematic study and training, he secured the provincial championship during his teenage years and went on to win third place in a national information security competition.

If not for the appearance of that eerie figure, he might have gone even further.

Beyond that.

Currently, on the panel, there are only 3 wisps of Source Value. According to the information provided by the panel, after synchronous conversion, this would only yield 3MB of data.

This is the reason why the skill of the nurse, Wang Ru, could not be downloaded just now, while the male orderly named Li Dalin could be.

Ultimately, it is because the former's skill level is higher, requiring 4MB, and the data was insufficient after the Source Value conversion.

As for the origin of this panel, it might be a byproduct of his transmigration, or perhaps a gift from some deity.

Hu Long does not particularly care about this.

Because to him, this is merely a futile act of internal friction; even knowing the truth would be of no use.

He only needs to know that the existence of this panel is useful to him.

After a simple attempt.

This Silver Download Panel can appear before his eyes with a mere thought.

"Fine, since you are silver, I shall call you Tai Su!"

This thing had no name, so for the sake of better control, Hu Long casually gave it one.

Tai Su, by definition, is one of the "Five Tais" recorded in ancient texts.

It is inherently silver-white in color, symbolizing the root of all things and the foundation from which everything evolves.

In some respects, it is quite fitting.

After he spoke the name, the panel vibrated slightly.

Subsequently, Hu Long discovered that as long as he called out "Tai Su," he could directly summon the retrieval panel.

"Can it be controlled by my own will? Interesting!"

Hu Long felt as if he had received a fun toy.

After playing with it repeatedly a dozen or so times.

He finally put it away.

Although he was curious about what it felt like to download a skill.

Hu Long did not immediately choose to download any.

Because as his contact with those two people had been broken, he could no longer perform a download.

Downloads can only be done while he is in physical contact with the target.

Furthermore, the two skills he had just learned about were of no use to him.

Even if he downloaded them, they would not change his current situation.

Coupled with the fact that the method for obtaining Source Value is currently unclear and his supply is limited.

He naturally needs to be cautious when using the panel to download skills.

However, thinking about these things now is useless.

What he needs to do most right now is to rest and recuperate this body.

Then, he must leave this psychiatric hospital, find a way to obtain Source Value, and use the power of this panel to resolve the hidden dangers within this body.

Only in this way can he continue to live.

The appearance of this download panel has caused the gloom that had been hanging over Hu Long due to that eerie figure to dissipate somewhat.

Since he could transmigrate here, and such a strange green-clad woman exists, this world is definitely not simple.

At the very least, it is not the normal technological world from the original owner's memories.

Resolving the hidden dangers in his body should not be a major problem.

Just as he was pondering this.

He felt a headache and a wave of dizziness, as if the surrounding walls were swaying.

Noticing this.

Hu Long closed his eyes once more.

Preparing to rest for a while.

This body has almost reached its critical limit; it is as if it has been drained dry and is extremely weak.

If he does not rest well, at this rate, even if he isn't killed by that ghostly thing.

He fears that it won't be long before he simply drops dead.

This is a situation that Hu Long naturally does not wish to see.

However.

Swish!

The next second.

His eyes, which had been closed, snapped open once more, a flicker of shock and bewilderment surfacing within his pitch-black pupils.

It was as if he had seen something beyond his comprehension.
