Chapter 178: Ten-Pull and Mythic-Grade Skill
Stroking his chin in self-admiration for a moment, Song Qi finally snapped out of it.
He then clicked open the system interface.
"Let me see... I've accumulated 10 draw opportunities."
"Time to roll then."
When it came to gacha pulls, you had to roll once you had enough saved up. Hoarding them for too long tended to trigger the pity detectors, skewing your luck so badly you would question your life choices.
"System, initiate the draw!"
[Ding! Preparing your prizes...]
In the sea of consciousness, the familiar large lottery wheel appeared once more.
This time, Song Qi was not as impatient as before.
"Let's start with 9 draws."
Click, click, click...
The wheel began to spin slowly, then gradually came to a halt.
[Congratulations! You have obtained Triple EXP Card x3!]
[Congratulations! You have obtained Class Item Designation Voucher x3!]
[Congratulations! You have obtained a technological weapon, the 107mm rocket artillery shell!]
[Congratulations! You have obtained...]
...
[Congratulations! Your next draw will trigger the pity mechanism, removing all items below Legendary quality.]
"?"
"Did something weird just appear?"
Song Qi took out the rocket shell.
There was no launch tube, just a bare rocket shell.
Upon seeing this distinctive shape, Song Qi immediately recognized it.
"No wonder there's no launcher, it's just a 'double-kick firecracker'."
The 107mm rocket shell was different from ordinary rockets. It came with a scale-aiming device attached to the warhead. You could just find any spot, aim it, and fire it using a few ordinary batteries and two ordinary wires or leads.
If you had a launcher, you could use it.
If you didn't have a launcher, a single battery would do the trick.
And if you didn't even have a battery, you could just take a hammer, knock off the tail cap of the rocket, and ignite the fuse with an open flame to launch it.
Its effective range was a full kilometer, which wasn't short either.
It was characterized by being rugged, durable, and ready for use at a moment's notice.
Truly a guerrilla warfare artifact!
In his previous life, in the world Song Qi came from, there was a particular arms dealer who was exceptionally fond of selling this stuff.
"Just in case, I always wanted to fire one in my past life, and now I can finally fulfill that wish."
He weighed it in his hand, and with a touch of excitement, snapped off the tail cap.
Then, he plucked a feather from the corpse of the Golden Crow and used it to ignite the fuse.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...
Whoosh!
Bang!
The rocket flew out instantly, blasting a small crater into the distant ground.
"The first rocket artillery shell of autumn!"
"Though the power is a bit weak."
"It's probably about equivalent to a great fireball cast by a level 40 mage."
"No wonder the humans in this world still grasp quite a bit of weapon technology, yet don't pay much attention to it."
Having satisfied his playful urge, Song Qi clicked open the draw interface once again.
"This one is guaranteed by the pity system..."
Snap!
A [Class Item Designation Voucher] was crushed to pieces.
Song Qi clasped his hands together and prayed silently in his heart.
"Bless me, heavens, give me something good!"
"Draw!"
Click!
With a tap of his finger, the wheel began to spin again.
"Skip!"
[Ding!]
An orange-gold light flew out.
[Congratulations! You have obtained the Mythic-grade skill... Possession!]
"Mythic-grade skill?"
"Possession?"
"What does this skill do? Its quality is actually Mythic?"
Song Qi was slightly bewildered and clicked on the details...
[Skill: Possession]
[Quality: Mythic]
[Applicable Class: Summoner]
[Effect: The user can transform into a spiritual entity, possessing their own summoned beast. They use the summoned beast as armor and are immune to all damage until the summoned beast dies.
The possessed summoned beast gains a 100% increase to all attributes! Furthermore, when its vitality drops below 30%, its status is instantly restored to 100%.
When the summoned beast suffers a fatal attack, it will likewise enter the spiritual state and be randomly teleported to any world or location.]
"What the hell?"
After reading the skill description, Song Qi instantly understood why this skill was of Mythic quality!
"A 100% increase to all attributes—this bonus isn't huge for me, but it's still pretty good."
"That's not the main point, though. The main point is the first effect!"
"A Summoner can turn into a spiritual state immune to all damage and possess a summoned beast. As long as the summoned beast doesn't die, I won't get hurt?"
Song Qi's heart skipped a beat, the joy on his face undeniable.
"The Summoner's biggest flaw has always been the extreme vulnerability of their main body, and this skill directly compensates for it?"
Originally, he had been agonizing over the fact that now that he had finally summoned Brother Monkey, once he encountered beings of the same tier in the future and went to war, judging by the shockwaves of those previous battles, the moment the opponent harbored any malicious thoughts, his own life would be in danger.
But if he didn't challenge peak-tier powerhouses and instead constantly bullied the weak, wouldn't Brother Monkey's strength go to waste?
However...
Now that he had this skill, he no longer had to struggle with that dilemma.
He could just turn into a spiritual entity and possess Brother Monkey directly.
"The other two effects are also fantastic."
"When health drops below 30%, all stats are instantly restored to full."
"Moreover, upon suffering fatal damage, both the summoned beast and the caster enter the spiritual state together and are teleported away."
"This is equivalent to getting two extra lives!"
Song Qi exclaimed with emotion.
Without any hesitation, he clicked to use it.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations! You have successfully learned the Mythic-grade skill... Possession!]
After learning it successfully, Song Qi glanced at Brother Monkey and instantly possessed him.
In an instant, his perspective shifted.
His line of sight was now several dozen centimeters above Brother Monkey's head.
Looking down, he could not see his physical body, but he could perceive it vaguely.
Instead of directly burrowing into Brother Monkey's body, he existed in a dimensional space within him that did not belong to the original world.
Wukong, who had been gazing into the distance, was slightly startled.
"What is this little brat up to again?"
"Just testing out a newly learned skill."
As he spoke, Song Qi tested out the skill experimentally.
He discovered that while skills like [Heavenly Rush] and [Directional Transition] could not be used, [Song of Life] could still be cast.
After confirming the skill's effects, Song Qi jumped out again.
"Oh? And there's no cooldown?"
"As expected of a Mythic-grade skill!"
Only then did he notice that the skill description did not indicate any cooldown or duration.
In other words, he could use it anytime, anywhere.
"However... although the quality and effects are sufficient, it hasn't integrated with the origin yet, nor has it been regularized."
"The effects are a bit lacking in certainty."
"But the origin points on hand right now are completely used up, making regularization impossible."
Song Qi pondered for a moment and looked into the distance.
"On the Third Continent, besides those regularized monsters in the Divine Kingdom, there should be other regularized monsters as well."
Song Qi didn't dwell on whether those other regularized monsters had killed humans, or whether what he was doing was justified.
Although monsters and demons were also in a hostile state, they were not friendly toward humans.
If one day the demons were driven out, and monsters and humans ended up in the same world, conflict would inevitably erupt.
How could one allow someone else to snore peacefully beside their couch?
This was a life-and-death struggle between two races.
It was not the time or place for him to play the philanthropist.
"The only thing I need to watch out for is that entity capable of protecting the entire Third Continent."
"I wonder how the current Brother Monkey compares to that existence."
