Chapter 153: Skills

The skills panel was just like a skill game panel.

But the subsequent panel was completely black and filled with fog, clearly telling them that the Live Stream Horror Survival Game would not allow them to cheat.

Or rather...

They would have to wait until they gained the acknowledgement to unlock the subsequent skills or they would have to try figuring it out themselves about the next paths. The Live Stream Horror Survival Game would not give them any shortcut.

The explanation from the live broadcast was quite comprehensive, but it didn’t exactly cover everything.

After all, they could only tell information to the players based on what the players themselves have known and only expand on the topic slightly.

Otherwise, they would only force-feed the players with too much information.

There were three tabs on the skills panel with the first two greyed out, meaning that they couldn’t be clicked.

Huo Yingsu knew that they should be the mutation and the evolution path.

Since her beginning was different from them because of the world she came from, she directly clicked the third panel.

There were three circles.

Hmm... two were greyed out.

The first one was the Pure Yang, the second was the Yin and Yang, and the third one was Pure Yin. Naturally, the only one that Huo Yingsu could click was the last one.

First because she’s a woman. ℴℴ𝘮

Secondly, Rabbit Zodiac is of Yin element.

To be exact, it was Yin and wood element.

Added with Huo Yingsu’s birth year, she also has metal element.

But how to use them was still unknown because the early awakening would only grant them access to the first one.

I mean, first element.

Huo Yingsu remembered from the novel that for those of elemental path, the Live Stream Horror Survival Game would let them pick which element they wanted to use first. And whether they wanted to awaken the other elements in the future is up to them.

If they just wanted to solely focus on one element alone, it was also possible.

The Live Stream Horror Survival Game would not stop them.

’Hmm, the skill tree will be quite interesting in that situation.’

While some skills required some other skills to be selected first before they could pick it, but there were also some independent ones.

And not all of them were the type where they could only choose one and had to abandon the other one. Only some of them were like that and Huo Yingsu knew that he just had to read the description carefully.

It was like a game.

... in a way, the Live Stream Horror Survival Game is indeed a game.

But this is a game where their lives were used as a bet and there was no resurrection option.

*sigh*

"Let’s pick the skills first..." Huo Yingsu muttered and then clicked the pure yin’s circle. She saw it lit up and then the fog on the second row to the right disappeared, showing three different circles.

The first one was Yin energy utilization and the second one was ghost contract while the last one was meditation technique and there was a text beside it that said (independent and automatically learned)

[Yin energy utilization: the use of the Yin energy by the player themselves. The Yin energy can be gathered through meditation technique and this skills granted access for the players to utilize and use the Yin energy in their lives.

Warning: excessive use of the Yin energy can deplete your own life force and bring you closer to the death]

[Ghost contract: Communicate with ghosts and form a contract with them. To train the ghosts and increase their level, feed them with the Yin energy.

Note: All of the Yin energy had to come from the player themselves and the ghost will be under their full control. But if they mistreated the ghosts, it’s not impossible for the ghosts to turn into vengeful ghosts and kill the player instead.

Limit: 1 ghost]

[Meditation: The technique to increase either the Yin or Yang energy. It has been automatically learned and will advance with every blessing the players receive from the zodiac stars.

Level: 1]

Huo Yingsu silent glanced at the Pure Yin’s explanation and then she was silent.

[Pure Yin: the purest form of the Yin energy has started to manifest in your body. It’s the sign that you have become closer to the world after the death and can see things that normal people wouldn’t be able to see.

Level: 1

Effects: The ability to see the ghosts and Yin energy]

"Yin energy and ghosts..."

Huo Yingsu glanced at the original Huo Yingsu in front of her and suddenly understood why she could see it now.

Even though she hadn’t lit up the Pure Yin’s skills, but the effect of the blessings basically allowed her to gain the effect in advance. And no matter which path she took, she would be able to see the ghosts.

The first part would allow her to use the Yin energy, perhaps somewhat similar to how Han Yichen and Ye Lin used the Yang energy.

Well...

Ye Lin could also use the Yin energy.

She remembered that Ye Lin seemed to try using it on the ancient coins before they come back before.

’Is this the path I want?’

Huo Yingsu thought to herself about it.

To be honest, Huo Yingsu knew very well that her fighting skills were almost nonexistent. In the first Live Stream Horror Survival Game’s world, she did deal with some mutated insects and so on, but only the weakest of the weakest.

Because if Huo Yingsu had to deal with the stronger mutated insects, she knew very well that it was absolutely impossible.

She had no ability to do it.

If she trained hard, it was not impossible for her to do it...

But...

Huo Yingsu looked at the original Huo Yingsu in front of her and knew that if she picked the first path, she would never be able to communicate with the original Huo Yingsu in her entire life.

Perhaps, she could only watch the original Huo Yingsu hover around her for the rest of her life.

Huo Yingsu sighed as she clicked the skill that she chose.
