Chapter 271 Reading Fang Heng rubbed his fists, thinking to himself that the people of the Federation were really stupid. That guy was quite strong. When he got back, he would report to Chen Yu, deduct his salary and have him write a check! The gymnasium was a distance away from Mo Yunxiao’s villa, so Fang Heng conveniently called a taxi. Half an hour later. Fang Heng reached the villa. “Mr Mo is in the study now. He said to bring you there if you came.” The assistant led Fang Heng to the backyard of the villa where there was a small independent building. He pushed the door open and entered. The smell of paper books entered his nose. Bookshelves were placed in front of the four walls of the room, and they were filled with thick books. Mo Yunxiao was climbing a high ladder, taking out a book from the upper shelf. “Fang Heng, you came at the right time. This time, I went to visit an old friend who has studied occultism for many years. I took the time to chat with her about you.” “You’re lucky. We found something.” “Come, help me hold it.” Mo Yunxiao said and threw the book in his hand to Fang Heng. Fang Heng reached out to take it. He felt that the book was wrapped by a gentle strength and fell steadily into his palm. In the next moment, Fang Heng was shocked. A voice quickly flashed in his mind, and then a line of small words quickly appeared in the lower right corner of his retina. (Hint: You have come into contact with an unknown book.] (Hint: You do not possess any related skills and can not appraise this book.) [Hint: Your basic perception is greater than 20. You can feel that this book contains weak energy.) “How is it? Did you receive the game hint?” Fang Heng was stunned. He looked at Mo Yunxiao, whose back was facing him. “What’s going on?” “This book is something that was brought out of the game. A player who has activated Tier 1 materialization can receive the game hint.” Mo Yunxiao explained casually and continued to search the bookshelf. It was brought out of the game! Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat and he lowered his head to open the book to look. The book was densely packed with a type of text and symbols. Fang Heng could understand most of the words, but when they were combined, he was completely unable to understand the meaning. Especially those twisted words. Just looking at them gave Fang Heng a huge headache. Another row of words floated across Fang Heng’s retina. (Hint: Your will attribute has passed the test. You have not suffered any backlash from reading.] (Hint: You do not possess any related skills. You have not passed the test. You can not obtain any useful information from reading.) Mo Yunxiao took a book and walked down the ladder. “If you want to unlock the mystical ritual runes on the back of your hand, it’s best to start from occultism.” Mo Yunxiao smiled gently. “To tell you the truth, I’ve also been learning recently.” “There are still some discoveries. Madam Liv and I agree that the mark on the back of your hand doesn’t have any negative effects such as traps, backlashes or restrictions.” “That’s great.” After confirming that the mark on the back of his hand didn’t have any negative effects, Fang Heng heaved a sigh of relief. His mood had also relaxed quite a bit. At least now he could confirm that he was safe. “Yes, it’s a positive contract. As for the effect of the modified mark, since the mark on the back of your hand isn’t clear and complete yet, Madam Liv isn’t able to get any more information.” “However, there’s one thing. From the runes on the back of your hand, you can see the shape of a hexagram.” “In occultism, the hexagram runes correspond to the strength of a seal.” Mo Yunxiao gestured for Fang Heng to sit on the other side of the low table. “Madam Liv wants to meet you in person, but due to some special reasons, it’s not convenient for her recently.” “So she entrusted me to ask if you’re interested in learning occultism. If you’re interested, she’s willing to be your guide and guide you to learn occultism.” “If there’s a chance in the future, she’s willing to recommend you to join the occultism seminar.” Fang Heng asked, “Who’s Madam Liv?” Mo Yunxiao thought for a moment and said, “To be exact, she’s a veteran player who studies occultism.” “What about the occultism seminar?” “It’s a loose organization. Most of its members study occultism, and most of them are high-level players who are proficient in occultism. When they encounter an event or a difficult problem related to occultism, everyone will gather together to discuss and learn.” Fang Heng hummed in acknowledgement and began to ponder. Occultism seemed to be something that was used in high-level games. It did not seem to be of much use at the moment. “There’s no rush. You can think about it carefully and give me an answer later.” Mo Yunxiao began to brew tea. “Also, Fang Heng, the Tier 1 ritual that you activated is very special. The Tier 2 materialization unlock method for ordinary people is no longer suitable for you.” “Because the mark on the back of your hand has been modified, you have to think of a way to complete the next stage of the mark and complete the Tier 2 materialization ritual to unlock it.” “When the time comes, the mark on your arm will be further improved and we will be able to get more effective information from it.” Mo Yunxiao placed the brewed tea in front of Fang Heng. “Of course, it doesn’t matter if you’re stuck at Tier 1 materialization or not. Anyway, we’ve confirmed that the mark won’t have any negative effects on you, and you can’t use the occult runes in your current game, right?” Hearing this, Fang Heng frowned. Can’t use it? That wasn’t quite right. His runes could increase the strength of all attributes in the Zombie Apocalypse game by 10%! If he could find a way to upgrade it to Tier 2 materialization, theoretically, he could get a higher level of improvement. Learn! He had to learn! And this was related to the secret of the mark on the back of his hand. Fang Heng quickly made a decision. He raised his head and said, “Mr Mo, I want to try learning it.” “Of course. It seems that you are still interested in occultism.” “Madam Liv had already expected this.” “It’s a pity that she hasn’t been able to leave recently, so she entrusted me to guide you through elementary occultism. After you complete the elementary guidance, I will bring you to see Madam Liv.” Mo Yunxiao handed over the book in his hand. “This is the introduction guide to occultism. It confirms that your basic attribute of will is higher than 12 points and that you can only use it if your intelligence level is higher than 6 points.” “Remember, the will attribute is the key. If you don’t meet the requirements, forcefully reading will result in mental contamination. You absolutely can not force yourself.” “In the game, the will and intelligence attributes are relatively difficult to obtain. You can only rely on yourself to slowly think of a way.” “In addition, reading books will also consume your mental strength at the same time. You must pay special attention to not force yourself to read when your mental strength is exhausted, so as not to affect your will attribute.” “Okay, I’ll remember it.” Fang Heng nodded and carefully took the book. A row of hints appeared in his retina. (Hint: You have come into contact with an unknown book.] (Hint: Your will has passed the test, your intelligence level has passed the test.] (Hint: You have obtained a book-occultism guide (current reading progress: 0%).] (Hint: You can read the book, and there is a chance that you will have mastered the skill.)
