125: Chapter 125 Just worried about having nowhere to test my new skills

Lin Fan's eyes lit up instantly.

A God-tier passive skill!

Just hearing the name, I knew it would be very punchable!

He snatched the book and flipped it open impatiently.

[Ding! God-tier skill book detected!]

[Learning...]

[Congratulations to the host! Learned the God-tier passive skill: Mask of the God of Taunt (LV1)!]

[Skill Effect: Your face has a natural Taunt effect on all living beings. When you activate this skill, all hostile targets within a kilometer radius will be forced to lock onto you as their primary target, and their attack power will increase by 50% while their IQ decreases by 50%!]

[Side Effect: Your face will become extremely punchable; even a passing dog will want to come up and take a bite out of you.]

"Holy crap!"

Lin Fan couldn't help but curse.

This skill... is amazing!

Increased attack power, lowered IQ?

This is a God-tier skill born for grinding monsters!

From now on, I never have to worry about monsters not attacking me!

As long as I show my face, I'll be the center of attention!

"Thank you, senior!"

Lin Fan excitedly grabbed the skeleton's hand bone and shook it vigorously.

"Senior, your great kindness will never be forgotten by this junior!"

"From now on, as long as I have a day where I'm getting beaten up, I will never forget your teachings!"

The skeleton pulled its hand back and shook it off in disgust.

"Alright, take your things and get lost."

"This seat is going back to sleep."

"I get annoyed just looking at you."

After saying this, the light on the skeleton dimmed rapidly, turning it back into a normal pile of white bones, motionless.

Even if it meant playing dead, it didn't want to face this pervert again.

"Brother Fan!"

At this moment, Xia Wanqiu and Murong Yan finally dared to approach.

The two women looked at Lin Fan as if they were looking at an alien.

"Are... are you okay?"

Xia Wanqiu reached out and poked Lin Fan's pectoral muscles. They were hard and still warm.

"I'm fine, I feel great."

Lin Fan chuckled and put the comic book into his system space.

"Let's go! Let's see what other treasures are behind that door!"

The skeleton had just said there were treasures behind the door. If even this skill book was such a top-tier item, the things behind the door must be even more valuable!

The three of them walked through the rubble-strewn ground and entered the stone door.

Behind the door was a small secret chamber. There were no gold or silver treasures as imagined. There was only an ancient stone platform.

On the stone platform sat a bead emitting an eerie red light.

Inside the bead, it seemed as if some terrifying creature was sealed, and one could faintly hear bursts of violent roars.

"This is..." Murong Yan's expression changed.

"A level 6 peak beast core?! And it's a 'Heart of Rage' with a variant attribute!"

Lin Fan's eyes instantly turned into the shape of gold coins.

Level 6 peak! If he ate this... even if he didn't level up, just that immense energy alone could take his Defense to the next level!

"I'm rich!" Lin Fan was just about to reach out and grab it.

Rumble! The entire mine tunnel suddenly began to shake violently. Large chunks of debris fell from the ceiling.

"Oh no! The ruins are collapsing!" Murong Yan shouted.

"That skeleton must have exhausted all the energy supporting the ruins just now! Run! Otherwise, we'll all be buried here!"

Without a word, Lin Fan grabbed the beast core and stuffed it into his pocket. Then, he tucked Xia Wanqiu under one arm and Murong Yan under the other.

"Hold on tight! The veteran driver is taking off!"

Whoosh! He turned into a blur and sprinted towards the exit.

Behind him, the ruins began to collapse crazily. Huge boulders fell like rain. But when they hit Lin Fan's back, besides making "clang-clang" sounds, they only added a pitiful amount of Defense value to him.

"Brother Fan! Slow down! I'm going to throw up!" Xia Wanqiu was tucked under his arm, being shaken up until she was dizzy.

"Can't slow down! Any slower and we'll turn into meat buns!"

Lin Fan laughed wildly, weaving left and right through the collapsing tunnel. The thrill of repeatedly jumping on the edge of life and death made his adrenaline soar.

Finally, a ray of light appeared ahead. It was the exit! "Charge!"

Lin Fan leaped violently, rushing out of the mine with the two girls. Boom!!! The moment they rushed out, the mine tunnel behind them completely collapsed, turning into a pile of ruins.

"Phew... We survived..." Xia Wanqiu collapsed onto the ground, gasping for air, her little face pale.

Murong Yan was also tidying her messy hair, still feeling lingering fear.

However, Lin Fan suddenly frowned. He looked ahead.

Outside the originally empty mine pit, there were now people standing everywhere. There were at least twenty or thirty of them. They were all wearing uniform outfits with a ferocious wolf head embroidered on their chests.

The leader was none other than the Crew-cut Man whose hand had been crippled by Lin Fan's "scam" earlier.

Beside him stood a burly, flesh-faced middle-aged man. His aura was powerful; he was clearly a level 4 peak Grandmaster expert!

"Second Uncle! That's him!" The Crew-cut Man pointed at Lin Fan, who had just crawled out of the cave, his eyes full of resentment.

"This is the brat who crippled my hand and stole our equipment! You must take revenge for me!"

The middle-aged man looked at Lin Fan coldly, a cruel smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Brat. You dare to touch someone from my Hungry Wolf Gang. I think you're tired of living!"

Lin Fan looked at this large group of people. Not only was he not panicked, but instead, he slowly revealed that iconic, extremely punchable smile.

He silently opened his system panel and clicked on the newly learned God-tier passive — [Mask of the God of Taunt].

"So many people? Perfect. I just learned a new skill, and I was worrying about having nowhere to test it."

"Everyone..." Lin Fan took a deep breath and raised his middle finger at the group. "You... are all trash!"

"What did you say?!" The members of the Hungry Wolf Gang were stunned.

They had thought this brat might beg for mercy, run away, or even use his school's background to pressure them. But they never expected that this brat would actually dare to point at their noses and call them trash!

And that was while being surrounded!

Especially the leading middle-aged man, the Deputy Leader of the Hungry Wolf Gang, Grandmaster Wang Hu. He was a dignified level 4 peak Grandmaster, a person of status in the Jiangcheng underground world. To be despised by a freshman in college?

"You're courting death!" Grandmaster Wang Hu's face sank instantly, killing intent boiling in his eyes.

"Originally, as long as you handed over the items and broke both your arms, you could have left. Now it seems you want to stay here as fertilizer!"

However, the moment his words fell, Lin Fan activated [Mask of the God of Taunt].

Hum—! An invisible ripple spread instantly from Lin Fan as the center.

In the eyes of Grandmaster Wang Hu and the other Hungry Wolf Gang members, Lin Fan's face suddenly changed. It became... extremely punchable!

That slightly upturned corner of his mouth seemed to be mocking their incompetence. That disdainful gaze seemed to be looking at a group of ants.

Even Lin Fan's messy hairstyle, every single strand of hair seemed to be saying to them: "Grandson, come hit your grandpa!"

An inexplicable rage instantly rose from the bottom of their hearts. Reason? What was that?

Now there was only one thought in their minds: Tear him apart! Stomp this punchable face under their feet and grind it into the dirt!

"Ahhhhh! I can't take it anymore! Why is this brat's face so disgusting?! I'm going to kill him! I'm going to chop him into meat paste!"
