93: One-click upgrade of SSS! Permanent stealing!

"Temporary Steal? A skill related to theft?"

"As an S-Rank Skill, adding the word 'temporary' makes it feel a bit cheap..."

Chen Ming couldn't help but complain.

Click [View Skill Description]

[S-Level Temporary Steal: This skill allows you to temporarily steal the opponent's skill. After the skill is stolen, it is retained for 24 hours! Note: A single target can only be stolen once! After the skill retention time ends, the opponent will regain ownership of the skill!]

"Steal skills! This skill can let me plunder other people's skills?" Chen Ming's eyes lit up.

However, the setting that the skill can only be retained for 24 hours after being stolen made him a bit unhappy.

Fortunately, He had unlimited fishing attempts.

Chen Ming set a small goal for himself: no matter what, He had to find a way to fish for two more S-Level Temporary Steal skills and synthesize them into SS-grade!

Of course, it would be even better if He could synthesize an SSS-level one.

Maybe then, He could permanently retain other people's skills.

In that case, Chen Ming wouldn't have to worry anymore about others, after obtaining powerful skills, not targeting the Zombie monsters but himself instead.

Having made up his mind, it was time to fish!

Incidentally, He also claimed a few quest rewards, gaining an Epic pet, killing a high-level monster: Scarlet Knight...

The previous enhanced fishing attempts hadn't been used up yet, and now, He had gained a full thirty more!

'S-Level Temporary Steal! S-Level Temporary Steal! S-Level Temporary Steal...'

When Chen Ming pressed [Start Fishing], He kept repeating this phrase in his mind.

He hoped the boost from the Luck skill would once again make his wishes come true.

[Fishing in progress...]

[Fishing successful! Critical hit successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Lifespan +1000!]

He skipped it directly without much thought and started the next fishing attempt.

[Fishing in progress...]

[Fishing successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Warship +1!]

"Warship?"

Despite being mentally prepared to ignore everything except the Temporary Steal skill, upon seeing these two words, Chen Ming still couldn't help but pause.

With the S-Class Skill Max-Level Driving in hand, whether it ran on the ground, swam in the sea, flew in the sky, or even beyond the universe, Chen Ming could operate it skillfully.

"Even warships have appeared, so in the future, won't there be a chance to fish for aircraft carriers?"

Thinking about it carefully, it wasn't impossible, after all, He had even fished up nuclear weapons.

He closed the prompt and cast the rod again!

[Fishing in progress...]

[Fishing successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Fully Equipped Aircraft Carrier +1!]

"..." Chen Ming was stunned, wishing intensely that this opportunity for his wishes to come true could have been used on something related to the Temporary Steal skill.

[Fishing in progress...]

[Fishing successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining S-Class Skill: Link Damage!]

The moment He saw 'S-Rank', Chen Ming truly thought He was about to get his wish.

Who would have thought it was a different S-Class Skill.

He checked the skill details.

[S-Class Skill Link Damage: When facing a group of enemies, this skill will randomly link multiple target objects. When you attack one enemy, all other linked enemies will receive the same damage! Minimum linked quantity 10, maximum linked quantity 100!]

After reading the skill description, Chen Ming wasn't that disappointed.

Continue!

[Fishing in progress...]

In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed.

With over thirty attempts, He didn't even catch a glimpse of the Temporary Steal skill.

What was even more outrageous was that Chen Ming subsequently fished up an aircraft carrier again and even triggered a critical hit effect, increasing the number of aircraft carriers by 10.

That's right, there are currently over twenty aircraft carriers in service globally, and Chen Ming's personal holdings are close to half of the total.

Furthermore, these aircraft carriers are fully equipped.

Fully equipped means that all kinds of weapons on the aircraft carrier, such as armed helicopters, fighter jets, various firepower equipment... are all included, not one missing.

It's like fishing for an aircraft carrier and getting a large number of high-tech equipment as a bonus.

To put it more bluntly, if Chen Ming intended to create a country, then the moment He successfully founded it, with the weapons and equipment He currently possesses, his military strength compared to nearly two hundred countries would immediately rank him in the top three, becoming a member of the major power and strong nation club.

"Over thirty fishing attempts, all for nothing? My luck, tsk."

It was a good thing Chen Ming was the only one in the villa, otherwise, if someone else heard these words.

Especially those 'empty-handed' fishermen who had waited so hard until midnight for their fishing attempts to refresh, only to come away with nothing, they would definitely shed tears of blood.

They would tell him to stop humblebragging! It was infuriating to listen to.

The key was, they couldn't beat him.

"Whew..." He took a deep breath and adjusted his mood.

Chen Ming was ready to gamble a few more times.

If He still couldn't gamble it out, He would go out and kill a couple of Zombies to vent his anger!

[Fishing in progress...]

[Fishing successful! Critical hit successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining SSS-grade Skill One-Click Upgrade Card +10!]

"SSS-grade Skill One-Click Upgrade Card? An item used to upgrade SSS-grade Skills? It's already SSS-level, can it still go higher?"

He checked the description.

[SSS-grade Skill One-Click Upgrade Card: This item can upgrade any skill below SSS-level to SSS-level with one click!]

Upon seeing this sentence, Chen Ming immediately stood up from the sofa.

His scalp tingled!

That's right, his scalp tingled!

This was equivalent to gaining ten SSS-grade Skills, and He could choose which skill to upgrade to SSS-level.

How could He not be excited? How could He not be thrilled?

Luck responded to Chen Ming's expectations in another, more direct and brutal way, exceeding them.

It was a pity they didn't have physical forms, otherwise Chen Ming would definitely kiss them fiercely a couple of times to express his love and gratitude.

"Hoo... ha... Hoo... ha..."

He took deep breaths to calm himself down.

After forcing himself to calm down, Chen Ming selected an upgrade card.

A large list of upgradeable skills popped up.

"It seems sometimes, having too many skills is also a problem," Chen Ming sighed.

There was no other way, He could only slowly scroll down, searching for S-Level Temporary Steal.

The skills were arranged from highest to lowest.

But unfortunately, Chen Ming had more high-level skills than low-level ones.

He had to scroll almost to the bottom before finding S-Level Temporary Steal.

He selected it.

[Do you want to upgrade S-Level Temporary Steal?]

Yes!

Without hesitation.

[Upgrading in progress...]

[Upgrade successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining SSS-grade Skill: Permanent Steal!]

"Indeed, after upgrading to SSS, the restriction is gone." This was exactly what Chen Ming had thought.

[SSS-grade Skill Permanent Steal: This skill allows you to permanently steal the opponent's skill. After the skill is stolen, it is permanently retained! Note: A single target can only be stolen once! After the skill is stolen, the opponent will permanently lose ownership of the skill!]

"Good! Excellent! Now, the billions of people worldwide are all forced to become puppets fishing for skills for me!"

Not only did Chen Ming's scalp tingle, but his entire body felt as if a faint electric current surged through his limbs and meridians.

It felt wonderful!

He got up and walked towards the door.

He couldn't wait to try out this god-tier skill!
