Chapter 10: Skill Card Pieces

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

There was a tall man in black armor, standing in the doorway. He looked like he was about two meters tall. He was also bald like the owner of the hotel. His face was littered with stubble, and there was a long scar that stretched from the left side of his forehead all the way across the middle of his left eye to his chin. There was no white in his left eye too. It was a scar from a cut and his left eye was blinded. The scar and eye added ferocity to his face.

With his height and his face, he gave the people around him a chill down their spines.

When the tall man entered the restaurant, he stared at everyone. The people put their heads down immediately to avoid his gaze. Even Lin Huang avoided making eye contact with him. Lin Huang then patted Lin Xin’s back to get her to finish her food a little faster.

Surprisingly, after getting himself a meal from the buffet, the man walked towards Lin Huang and Lin Xin. He then sat down alone at the table behind them. The seat that he sat on was directly across from Lin Huang.This content belongs to novelhulk.com, if the content is missing please go to novelhulk.com website to read the full content

Lin Huang looked up and they accidentally locked eyes. But, neither of them looked away. Instead, they were checking each other out.

Lin Huang then thought the man was very strange to have chosen him. Among the 10 people in the restaurant, Lin Xin excluded, he was sure that he was the weakest and the poorest one. There was no reason for the man to even notice him.

“Perhaps I’m the new face here that he has never seen before,” Lin Huang concluded.

Just when they both stood up after they finished their dinner, the man behind Lin Xin put down his cutlery and walked towards them.

Lin Huang pretended he did not see him and pulled Lin Xin along while they quickly walked out of the restaurant.

When they arrived on the third floor, the man was there too. When they turned right, the man followed.

“Why are you following us?” Lin Huang frowned and turned around to question the man while Lin Xin was at his back.

“It’s the way to my room,” the man said and glared at Lin Huang. He then walked passed them and continued on to the end of the corridor. He then stopped in front of Room 301 and went in.

Lin Huang was embarrassed. He went back to their room together with Lin Xin.

“Brother, that uncle looked so scary,” Lin Xin said after the door was closed.

“When I saw him running towards us just now, I thought he was a bad guy.”

“Don’t worry. In broad daylight, even if he was a bad guy, we don’t have to be scared. Besides, there are so many hunters in this hotel, what is there to be afraid of?” he said, hoping to calm her down. Lin Huang recalled the owner had told him that the guest in Room 301 was a strange man who did sword training in the garden in the middle of the night.

“He’s really strange!” Lin Huang thought to himself.

When Lin Huang was on the fifth set of training, he heard a notification jingle and a semitransparent box appeared in front of him.

“Congratulations, you have gained a Skill Card ‘The Great Sword Scripture’ piece x1”

Lin Huang was excited when he saw the notification. It motivated him to practice even more.

“I’m not sure how many pieces I have to collect to combine them into a Skill Card. But, I don’t care, I will practice a few hundred times tonight. I’m sure by then I will have a complete Skill Card!”

However, nothing was rewarded after he practiced three more times.

“Maybe I’ll be rewarded once every five practice sets?”

He then practiced another two times, but still, there was nothing.

“What’s happening?” Lin Huang thought it was strange. “Could this have nothing to do with the amount of practice? Then what could it be?” he wondered.

With the doubt in mind, Lin Huang proceeded to practice until it was his eighth time. Suddenly, the notification box popped up again.

“Congratulations, you have gained a Skill Card ‘The Great Sword Scripture’ pieces x1”

“I got another one. Could this be random?” Lin Huang could not help but ask Xiao Hei, “Xiao Hei, do the skill pieces come randomly?”

“No, only when the effect of the skill exceeds 80% of the skill itself, that would be considered an effective practice set. For effective practice sets, you would be awarded skill pieces each time. Repetition would not get you more skill pieces unless the effect is 100%. Then you would get the skill pieces with proper repetition.

The reply given by Xiao Hei was a great help to Lin Huang.

“That’s it! That means the times when I did not get the skill pieces were due to my performance being less than the basic standard of 80% and I achieved the standard on the fifth practice. However, I did not get anything later on as I repeated the same standard for the next five times,” he concluded.

Now that he understood, Lin Huang became serious about his practices. He practiced all he could while recalling what he saw the man do in the garden. He wanted to get as many skill pieces as he could until he achieved the 100% skill effectiveness.

He practiced over and over again.

When dawn broke the next morning, Lin Huang had practiced for more than 100 times.

He then went back to his room, exhausted.

However, his chances of achieving the pieces were only at 20% and he only managed to get 21 pieces by the end of the day.
