"Introduction to Fighting"

"Rank: One-Star Ability. Prerequisite: Possess the complete physical body of a Bipedal Ape."

"Effect: After equipping it, the player will automatically master ordinary fighting techniques, and their body will gain the physiological reflexes produced by experiencing one hundred fights and one thousand days of training. Advanced options are available."

"Note: 'Hands, elbows, knees, head, legs, shoulders—these are humanity's most primitive terrifying weapons.'"

"Good Dream Art"

"Rank: One-Star Ability. Prerequisite: Two hands."

"Effect: After equipping it, the player can hypnotize any intelligent target willing to accept hypnosis. The method of hypnosis will vary depending on the location and time, but both hands must be used. It takes anywhere from 30 to 300 seconds, and upon success, the target will fall into a deep sleep."

"Note: 'I bloom amid slaughter, but I suffer from insomnia at night as well.' The Bald Killer, who was resistant to most mind-altering drugs, had to rely on these hands of his, which he knew inside and out, to fall peacefully asleep through countless long nights."

After reading the descriptions of the two skills, a message popped up on the interface: "Equip item/ability now?"

After he confirmed, the screen switched to the Equipment Interface. The left side displayed "Game Character," while the right side displayed "Equipment Panel."

The "Game Character" list was empty, with only one entry: "Ren Nesser." Besides the name, Ren Suo also saw Ren Nesser's appearance—it was himself.

The "Equipment Panel" was divided into the "Ability Slot," "Item Slot," and "Backup Slot."

If I guessed right, once Ren Nesser equips an ability, I might gain the corresponding ability myself...

Ren Suo recalled the voice he had heard when he touched Mo Zhaolong. How could he not realize that the Little World Game Console had practically possessed him? If he equipped abilities in the console now, they would very likely be reflected onto him.

However, Ren Suo discovered that he could only equip one ability—because the Ability Slot only had one box.

Not only the Ability Slot, but the Item Slot and Backup Slot also had only one box each. Clearly, each could only hold one thing. And since "Introduction to Fighting" and "Good Dream Art" were both abilities, they could only occupy the Ability Slot.

So Ren Suo equipped "Introduction to Fighting," placed "Good Dream Art" in the Backup Slot, and eagerly began experimenting.

If I'm right, then someone like me who never fought before should now be a beginner fighter with three years of training and over a hundred fights under his belt!

What chuunibyo boy had never dreamed of shattering gold and jade with a palm strike, cleaving mountains and rivers with a single sword, wielding supreme force to reshape the world as he pleased? The strongest individual combatants in the world were naturally soldiers and fighters proficient in all kinds of combat skills. Setting aside firearms, the way for ordinary people to gain martial prowess was to learn various fighting arts.

Yet laziness and hardship were the barriers that kept chuunibyo boys from obtaining that power.

Ren Suo had no idea what country or style this fighting art came from, but it had to be better than the Wild Fists he knew.

Ren Suo stood up and paced around the living room, ready at any moment for some invisible entity to force knowledge into his mind.

What would it feel like? Would my head hurt? Or would suddenly gaining a huge amount of knowledge feel amazing?...

After pacing for fifteen minutes, Ren Suo found that absolutely nothing had happened.

"..." Ren Suo decided to test himself. He looked at the white wall beside him, raised his fist, and slammed it forward—

He felt something!

When Ren Suo tried to attack the wall, his waist sank, his stance rooted itself firmly to the ground, and his shoulders and waist moved in a way he did not understand. His flesh erupted with tremendous force as his entire body weight bore down on his fist—

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck—"

Ren Suo immediately cried out in pain, squatting down to rub his fist, which had turned red and purple.

He looked at the white wall. It was perfectly clean, as though it were saying, "Hmph, foolish human."

Ren Suo now believed that he had truly gained the ability "Introduction to Fighting." It was just that the ability only emerged automatically when he needed it. But the problem was—Ren Suo's body was not that of a fighter. He was just an ordinary person who rarely exercised!

"Introduction to Fighting" strengthened his personal combat power, but Ren Suo's physical fitness was average to begin with. Even after the enhancement, he could at most beat up a few punks. If the other side had weapons, he would probably be unable to block them at all and get taken out in one go.

"Let's switch abilities." Ren Suo shrugged and gently closed his eyes.

According to the system's instructions, he no longer needed to activate the Little World Game Console to directly change his equipped ability.

Sure enough, when his consciousness sank inward, he naturally sensed the existence of the Equipment Panel.

The Item Slot was empty. "Introduction to Fighting" was in the Ability Slot, while "Good Dream Art" was in the Backup Slot. With a thought, "Introduction to Fighting" and "Good Dream Art" swapped places, and both simultaneously turned gray.

After a ten-second cooldown, "Good Dream Art" was equipped.

According to the description, the "Ability Slot" equipped intangible knowledge-based abilities, the "Item Slot" equipped tangible enhancement-type items, and the "Backup Slot" stored temporarily unused abilities or items. When the player needed them, they could directly change their equipment.

"But how do I use Good Dream Art?"

This move looked like a Hypnosis Technique, but Ren Suo had absolutely no knowledge of hypnosis in his mind. How was he supposed to test whether the skill was real?

Ren Suo went back and checked the description of "Good Dream Art." He discovered that its prerequisite was two hands, and the effect description also mentioned that both hands had to be used. So he stared at his hands and fell into thought.

"How... do I use this?"

Using both hands on a human body, aside from touching and that sort of thing, Ren Suo could not think of any other method.

However, as he idly stared at his hands, Ren Suo found the twitching of his fingers rather interesting. He tried to make his fingers trace strange paths—flipping, circling, crossing, rotating...

Ding-dong~ Ding-dong~

Ren Suo, lying on the floor, groaned dully and wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth. He found himself lying on the sofa, while someone outside was ringing the doorbell.

"Coming, coming..."

It was another delivery. This time, it was the games "Warriors of the Fallen 8" and "Evil Curse 2," which he had ordered together when he bought the Hell 4 PRO game console.

However, although he had unboxed the Hell 4 PRO game console three days ago, Ren Suo had not turned it on even once.

He looked out the window and discovered that it was already the next morning—he had actually played with his fingers until he fell asleep on the sofa last night!

Yet Ren Suo only felt refreshed and clear-headed. A faint realization surfaced in his heart: this was probably the effect of "Good Dream Art."

He had slept incredibly well.

Ren Suo set the game discs and the Hell 4 PRO console aside. It had been the love of his life for so many years, and he did not want to return it. He thought that perhaps he would have time to play it someday.

Then Ren Suo played with his new love, the Little World Game Console.

"Little World, endless fun!"
