the only savior

Chapter 24

Zhang Xiaoman looked around and found that there was no camera in this area, and he was relieved just now.

The hero stood beside the car, patted the door, and said to him, "Xiaoman, how did you get here? Why don't I take you home."

Zhang Xiaoman shook his head.

"No, I have other ways to go back. You have to go to work tomorrow, so go home early to rest."

Brother Hero didn't ask any more questions. He started the car, stuck his head out of the window again, and said solemnly:
"Xiaoman, thank you so much for today. If it weren't for you, brother, my 200 kilograms would have been accounted for here..."

Zhang Xiaoman didn't wait for him to finish, and interrupted: "It's alright, alright, who are we two, who are you and who are you? Go away, my wife and children are still waiting at home."

The hero pursed his lips, nodded, and left.

it is more than words.

Zhang Xiaoman saw him walking away, so he didn't stay here too much. He immediately found a battery car and sat in the back seat, reaching into his pocket and rubbing the hearthstone.

At home, in the bedroom.

Zhang Xiaoman's figure suddenly appeared on the bed in a sitting position. Seeing the familiar environment around him, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Looking at the time, it's almost eleven o'clock, my mother is probably going to be asleep by now, and he himself is too sleepy.

What happened this evening can be said to be extremely exciting. Whether it was the battle between two corpses or the decision to fool the hero, it was a bold attempt for him.

He was just trying his best to save people, but he didn't expect that not only would he successfully defeat the monster, but he also made a temporary decision to fool the hero into joining the team, and even had a direction for some of his future plans.

Zhang Xiaoman didn't know whether the decision he made temporarily was good or bad, but now that the world is changing, he felt that he had to do something, not the so-called righteousness, but to protect the people around him.

Taking out the water gun in his pocket, Zhang Xiaoman checked the magazine.

Tonight, he used a total of 8 holy water bombs, and gave two more to the hero, so he still has a total of 10 left.

Zhang Xiaoman thought about it, and simply put all the bullets into one gun. After today's actual combat, he found that using two guns at the same time was not easy for him. Hand shoots.

If he only uses one gun in the future, his free hand can be used for many other things, such as providing lighting in a dark environment, or using Hearthstone in a crisis situation.

These are all deficiencies that have been summed up through actual combat.

Over the course of one night, Zhang Xiaoman reduced his consumption and finally gained a total of 3 points.

This gave him a new understanding of the situation of earning points. The reason why he could gain so much on the island in the center of the lake yesterday was mainly due to a lot of luck.

"I still have 20 points left, should I use it to buy holy water?"

Zhang Xiaoman looked at the system page and thought.

"The speed of obtaining points is much slower than I thought at the beginning. According to the normal speed, it takes ten days to purchase a bottle of holy water after ten draws..."

"But it's a bit of a loss to upgrade items randomly. I currently have too few types of props. And I still have a bottle of God's Grace Dew on me. If the system selects it when upgrading, then I will lose a lot. now..."

He did the analysis silently.

In the end, he reached out and pointed to the holy water icon in the mall, and spent 10 points to buy a bottle of holy water.

In any case, he must leave a spare magazine on his body, which can improve his own safety and reduce the chance of accidents.

As for the remaining 10 points, he intends to keep them for later use.

After finishing today's harvest, Zhang Xiaoman only felt sleepy, probably because he had consumed a lot of energy just fighting the monsters.

He took a shower in a hurry, and he didn't care that he could start a new day's lottery right away, so he fell on the bed and fell asleep.

……

The next day.

Zhang Xiaoman once again proved how lazy humans can be.

From eleven o'clock the night before until noon the next day, his sleep time had already caught up with Zhang Jinbao and Zhang Xiaohua.

I got up and went to the living room, where my mother had already prepared the food and was sitting on the sofa stroking the cat.

"Mom? Isn't it Wednesday? Don't you go to work? Did you quit your job too?" Zhang Xiaoman asked in surprise.

Mom threw Xiaohua aside, got up and walked to the dining table in the latter's resentful eyes: "It's the 15th today, and our school has summer vacation."

Zhang Xiaoman was stunned when he heard the words, with envious light in his eyes.

"Hey, why didn't I choose a teacher's major at that time?"

He was beyond remorse.

Mom still doesn't know what happened last night, and Zhang Xiaoman didn't plan to tell her. After all, the matter has passed, and he is not in any serious trouble. Saying it will only cause people to worry.

In fact, after Zhang Xiaoman learned that absorbing monster corpses can get points, his thoughts of setting up a stall have long since disappeared, and all he thought about was how to fight monsters and upgrade.

But still according to the old saying - come here, he currently has the raw materials and carts.

Anyway, I can't find anything else to do for a while, so I just go out and sell sushi for a while, and I can earn some pocket money anyway, which can be regarded as fulfilling my long-cherished dream of "entrepreneurship".

However, he still has one very important thing to do before he goes to the stall.

Open the system page and click on the lottery!
"Congratulations, you have obtained the white skill - Spiritual Draining."

A small white ball fell in front of Zhang Xiaoman, exuding a warm glow.

"This is... a skill ball? I actually got a skill?"

Zhang Xiaoman stared at the ball of light on the ground. It was the first time he had drawn a skill-based reward from the system.

"I thought this system could only draw objects, but I didn't expect it to be able to draw skills."

He reached out and poked at the ball of light, but there was no response.

"How do I use this thing?"

Zhang Xiaoman simply grabbed the ball on the ground, put it in front of him and looked closely.

【Draining Spirit Art】

- Can draw energy from the environment.

This is the attribute panel of the light ball, and the introduction is still the taste of the system, which is confusing.

Zhang Xiaoman squeezed it lightly with his hand, but there was no touch, but the small ball of light seemed to have a solid body, and it would change a little bit with the pressure of his fingers, like a spherical sponge.

"Well, how can I absorb this thing? Is it difficult to eat it?"

Zhang Xiaoman was puzzled.

But even though he said that, Zhang Xiaoman still didn't dare to mess around with these mysterious things, let alone swallow them directly in his stomach.

After half an hour...

After trying many other methods, Zhang Xiaoman looked at the gadget in his hand in a very depressed manner, his teeth rattling.

"Why doesn't the oil and salt get in?"

Zhang Xiaoman looked at the round shape of the little ball of light, as if he saw a smiling face on it, mocking him that he couldn't do anything about it.

"Don't force me, look again, believe it or not, I will eat you!"
