27: Secret Manual - Supernatural Powers

"How do I buy these sword and saber techniques?"

Tang Ping had already simulated repeatedly in his mind how he would haggle later.

"Two yuan a book, five yuan for three books." The slovenly Middle-aged Man at the stall was picking his toes, staring at an old button phone, then scribbling on a blank notebook. Seeing someone approach, he said casually.

Tang Ping nodded, about to bargain, when he suddenly froze!

Wait, how much was it again?

He stared suspiciously at the slovenly man: "These aren't fakes, are they?"

The slovenly man immediately sat up straight and loudly declared: "You can question my character, but you absolutely cannot question these martial arts secret manuals of mine! I tell you, no ordinary King's secret manual or Queen's divine ability can make it onto my stall!"

Tang Ping grew even more suspicious and prepared to leave.

"Hey, hey, hey! Kid, I see you have an extraordinary bone structure, so I'll give you a discount, one yuan a book, buy one get one free!" The slovenly man quickly said: "Don't be in such a hurry to leave, you can look first, you can inspect the goods first!"

Hearing that he could look, Tang Ping immediately stopped. Thinking it wouldn't take much effort, he squatted down to take a look. As soon as he opened it, Tang Ping's scalp tingled!

"This thing? It costs one yuan?"

He stared intently at the secret manual, his hands trembling. Damn it, this was real! Absolutely real! The language was simple, every word a gem, and there were even illustrations, as well as instructions on how to combine Talents with extraordinary weapons!

What Tang Ping was currently looking at was a sword technique for the Ice Talent.

His Talent perfectly matched it. He even secretly tried to circulate his Talent according to the instructions inside.

It really worked! A cold sword qi almost burst forth from his hand!

Therefore, he could better appreciate how good this sword technique was. As long as he practiced according to it, he could definitely double his combat power in a short time!

"Boss, I'll take all of these!"

"Oh, oh, you want to buy them, hahahaha, I knew you were a connoisseur, how many books... Wait! How many did you just say you wanted?" The slovenly man suddenly trembled all over!

"All of them!" Tang Ping waved his hand grandly.

"Hahahaha! Good, good!"

Soon after, Tang Ping left.

The slovenly man happily counted the money in his hand. Next to him, a man selling dry food looked enviously.

"Old Zhang, you tricked another one. You sold over thirty yuan this time, enough for a month's rent!" The dry food seller said enviously.

"Nonsense, how can what I do be considered tricking people! I ask you, are my goods fake? Is there anything wrong with my secret manuals?" The slovenly man was displeased.

The dry food boss sheepishly retracted his head, muttering: "The goods aren't fake, but you can find a bunch of them by just going to an internet cafe for three yuan. That kid clearly isn't very smart."

At this moment, Tang Ping didn't know that the secret manuals he bought for a hefty thirty-eight yuan could be found for just three yuan of internet cafe fees!

But at this moment, Tang Ping was already thinking that these secret manuals, combining Talents with weapons, even if he only sold each one to a single person, might be able to exchange for a huge amount of resources!

"Perhaps I can use these secret manuals to exchange for a large number of attribute stones, or even experience stones, in the trading zone!"

Tang Ping's eyes burned with fervor. With these resources, he could definitely get a head start on others in the early stages of the doomsday!

Far ahead!

He hugged a pile of books, like treasures, and ran towards his rented room!

By the time he reached the rented room, the countdown was almost over.

Tang Ping grabbed a flatbread, swallowed it whole, and then, relying on his memory, constantly flipped through the books.

Suddenly, his vision went black!

"Damn it, I only finished one book!"

In his last conscious moments, Tang Ping thought that next time, he must get a box of spirit attribute stones to improve his spiritual attribute, and then memorize everything.

His vision returned to light, and Tang Ping was back in the Shelter.

He immediately, without stopping, found paper and pen. Fortunately, his Shelter had everything, and he quickly found them.

Then, he began to write down the characters he had memorized.

Tang Ping could feel that these secret manuals were all true stunt, comprehended through countless battles!

Although he didn't know why they were one yuan, buy one get one free!

But as long as the goods were real, that was fine!

What Tang Ping didn't know was that in the two hours he was gone, the slovenly man had restocked his stall with another pile.

Soon, Tang Ping copied down the book "Blazing Saber Technique." The total word count wasn't much, only over two thousand words, but every single sentence felt like an enlightenment!

Every sentence seemed to be filled with the survival laws of the doomsday!

Tang Ping's eyes gleamed. This stuff was valuable, he just didn't know how many good things it could get him through trade.

"These two thousand words, I don't know if the compiler did it on purpose, but there are exactly five sections, and each section has an upper and lower part, which is infuriating."

Perhaps the original owner who sold this item knew it was a one-time deal, which is why he did it this way, so he could sell it multiple times.

Tang Ping directly took a photo of the upper part of the first section and posted it in the trading zone!

【S-rank secret manual opened from a doomsday treasure chest! With it, killing Infected is like slicing vegetables! Even ordinary people can run rampant in the doomsday!

Interested parties, private message me! This secret manual has a system-customized dissemination restriction; exceeding the limit prevents learning!】

Tang Ping finished editing the product description and waited for others to trade. As for the system restrictions, that was all nonsense he made up!

Good things don't need too much embellishment. Soon, someone replied... In a certain dojo, a young man in a Taoist robe was looking at a photo in the trading zone.

He tried to follow what was on the photo.

The wind on the mountaintop gradually quieted, and the surrounding insects and birds suddenly fell silent.

The young man in the Taoist robe closed his eyes, gradually entering a state of immersion. The longsword in his hand slowly danced, and flames, like a long snake, coiled around the sword.

Suddenly! The young man in the Taoist robe opened his eyes!

The longsword flicked out, and the flaming long snake suddenly shot forth!

A large tree, as thick as a bowl, in front of him was struck!

The flaming long snake directly pierced through the tree!

Leaving behind a charred hole!

"This thing, it's actually real!" The young man in the Taoist robe's eyes were bright!

What he had just performed was the secret technique recorded in that half-page secret manual, with its crooked, worm-like handwriting.

This secret technique was called 'One-Word Long Snake'!

"I must buy it! No matter the cost!" The young man in the Taoist robe's eyes showed determination. This was no longer just a simple secret manual; it was a path!

A path to the heavens!

"Master, come and look at this thing!" Mo Xuanji was impatient, wanting to discuss it with his master first.

If his own comprehension was that of a prodigy, then his master was a prodigy among prodigies!

Mo Xuanji's eyes held reverence.

"What's the matter? So flustered."

In the small courtyard, there was an old man with a long beard and long hair, actually sitting on a cloud of mist.

Mo Xuanji's eyes were filled with awe. This was his master, his Talent an SS-rank, Lord of the Mists!

And now, his master had actually comprehended a divine ability only found in myths and legends: Riding the Clouds and Mists! Of course, for now, he could only sit on it; his master hadn't truly comprehended to the extent of being able to fly on the clouds.

"Master, look at this thing." Mo Xuanji sent the picture to his master.

At first, the old man paid no attention, but when his gaze fell upon that page, he suddenly trembled all over!

"This is!" The old man opened his eyes.

Suddenly, the clouds beneath him shifted, rising from the ground!

"Hahahahaha!"

"Good, good! Good!"

"Disciple, this person has shown great kindness to me. Although the subsequent secret manuals will not be of much use to us, you should still use this item to trade with him."

"Master! This!" Mo Xuanji looked at the jade in his hand in astonishment!
