#186 - Hair manipulation...

As Liang Yue's words fell, the familiar roulette wheel, black background and red needle, appeared in front of him again.

As this lottery was tagged with the keyword "Ability" by him, the prizes appearing in each prize area were actually balls of light of various colors.

Colorful and dazzling~

Some were round like ping-pong balls, some had fillings inside, looking like the glass marbles he played with when he was a kid.

Some had uneven surfaces, either pitted or radiant, showing different shapes.

Looking at the dense glowing spheres on the roulette, Liang Yue immediately felt a lot more relieved, obviously, in the field of keyword abilities, the lottery items given by the system were quite substantial.

If he guessed correctly, each small sphere was an ability, although he couldn't judge what most of them were.

But in fact, with abilities, he would almost make a profit no matter which one he chose!

Thinking of this, Liang Yue's heart suddenly warmed up, and he couldn't wait to order the system.

"Start!"

… …

"Stop~!"

… …

"Ding~! Congratulations to the host, in this lottery welfare, you have won the ability 'Hair Manipulation'. Please explore the specific functions yourself. In addition, abilities have certain requirements and limitations on the user's body.

At this stage, the host can only possess one ability."

As soon as the system's voice fell, the roulette wheel disappeared, and only a hairy egg emitting a gray halo remained in front of him.

Then it turned into a stream of light and shot towards Liang Yue.

With a whoosh~

So this guy immediately headbutted, his forehead heavily hitting the solid wood desk in front of him, and he fainted.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already dawn!

And Liang Yue was already lying on a bed without realizing it.

Around him, Senior Sister, Saya Takagi, and Alwen were leaning close, whispering to each other.

"Liang Yue, you're awake? How do you feel? Why did you suddenly faint before?"

Seeing this guy wake up, Alwen sent her greetings immediately, with a concerned look on her face, her voice soft and nice.

Saeko Busujima next to her seemed much calmer, with a tranquil look, as if she was full of confidence in someone.

Hearing her words, Saya Takagi, with her pink twintails, even curled her lips at this time, muttering in a low voice.

I told you, he was drawing a lottery last night… …

"Ah, I did get a benefit last night, from the system, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly. My brain couldn't react a bit when I received it.

Moreover, my body seems to have undergone a deep transformation."

As he spoke, Liang Yue pretended to be awakened, sat up from the bed, stretched his arms and shook his legs, seemingly experiencing the changes.

"What kind of ability did you get? If it can make you faint, it should be very strong, right?"

Saya Takagi sat on the bed at this time, asking curiously, and the faces of the two girls next to her were also filled with anticipation.

Seeing this, a flash of embarrassment flashed in Liang Yue's eyes.

Unconsciously, he spread his hands towards them, and then somewhat helplessly told the three girls about the gray hairy egg last night, and the 'Hair Manipulation'.

… …

《Hair Manipulation》

Ability Level: 1 / 10

Current Level: 1

An instinctive manipulation method from the genetic level. In principle, the stronger the mental power, the more powerful the ability can be.

Skill Effect: Limited control over the length, curvature, and extension of hair.

Hair Characteristics: Infinite (As long as there is energy, it can be regenerated indefinitely.)

Ability Proficiency: 0 / 1000

… …

After a night of digestion, Liang Yue had actually completely received this transformation and introduction information about the ability.

Moreover, as this guy gradually regained consciousness, he was slowly recalling the relevant content in his mind.

As an ability, the capabilities included in "Hair Manipulation" are actually much richer than what is written on the panel.

Moreover, the potential of this ability itself is actually not bad~

But even so, it still couldn't hide the disappointment in Liang Yue's heart for this lottery.

"This is freaking… …"

"Even if I can't draw abilities with heaven-defying characteristics like time, space, or causality, then give me an ability like metal, wood, water, fire, or speed. Is that too much to ask?"

"Hair Manipulation… … I can't believe you can come up with that!"

"Is it because my hair grows long after each experience and it's inconvenient? You are so considerate!"

"… … Sigh~! If I remember correctly, the system seemed to have said last night that, with my current physical fitness, I can only possess one ability for the time being… …"

… …

In reality~

"Huh? Hair Manipulation? Is this ability very powerful? Just this, it can make you faint?"

The little pink-haired girl next to him looked a bit puzzled after hearing Liang Yue's explanation, and her eyes were filled with doubts.

In order to respond to her doubts, although someone was not very satisfied in his heart, in order to maintain his old face, he could only brace himself and raise his hands to the girl.

Then, he silently activated the not-so-skilled ability in his body.

Suddenly, the inconspicuous hairs on the back of Liang Yue's hands began to become dense, black, and long, standing up straight!

About five seconds later, these black hairs grew to the limit he could currently control, about ten centimeters long.

Then, Liang Yue stretched out his pair of black-haired hands and made a kneading gesture towards Saya Takagi.

As his fingers and the back of his hands swayed, the black and shiny hair above also began to ripple and dance… …

"Ew~ How disgusting! Is that all?"

Seeing this, Saya Takagi immediately hid behind, covering her small mouth and frowning.

"For now, after all, I haven't started practicing yet. It will definitely become longer and thicker in the future, and even turning hair into steel is not a dream!"

As he spoke, Liang Yue silently activated his ability again, shrinking the black hair that was originally swaying in the wind back, and then looked at Saya Takagi opposite him.

"Come here, let me touch your head~"

"What do you want to do by touching my head?"

"I'll give you a magic trick~"

"Hmm? What magic trick?"

"This ability of mine can not only make hair longer and shorter, but also make it bald directly, come here and let me pluck your hair~ Hehe!"

"Wow! How annoying!"

… …

"By the way, what time is it now~"

After coming out of the room, Liang Yue looked at the sun that had already risen a small piece from the distant mountains, and subconsciously muttered, then summoned the system clock.

Speaking of which~ After the previous permission upgrade, Liang Yue also clearly felt that the services provided to him by the system had become much more advanced.

Even the most basic clock in front of him has changed from one to three… …

Among them, one clock is labeled with the real-time, one shows the base world, and there is also a countdown clock that can be used to measure the time limit for trials in the heavens and worlds.

"Let me see~ It's a little after seven now, the real world is a little after six, it's still early~"

With this in mind, Liang Yue led the three girls next to him to the wooden table where they had been eating and drinking before.

The mess from last night had been cleaned up, and now the table was re-arranged with a pile of fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as fried eggs, bread, and milk.

According to Senior Sister, this was prepared by Saeko and the others before they left.

And now, Teacher Shizuka, Saeko, and Yuriko Takagi, three, had already taken Rachel to a mountain outside the village early in the morning, said to be helping the little female eagle to feed those chicks… …

"Bang~!"

With a flick of his sleeve, a jar the size of a basketball, with an earthy yellow color and a pair of mud ears on its mouth and neck, was thrown on the table in front of him by someone.

Feeling Alwen and the others' gazes, Liang Yue picked up the milk at hand, took a sip unhurriedly, and then explained to them.

"This is another reward I got from my experience in Middle-earth, a weapon jar. You can randomly open a weapon with it, um~ it is said to be a warrior-level one."

"Is the weapon that appears completely random?"

Senior Sister asked at this time, her crystal eyes shining brightly.

"Yes, and the scope of weapon selection includes the heavens and worlds!"

Liang Yue scratched the lid of the jar with his finger and nodded.

"Have you used this kind of jar before?"

Saya Takagi hugged her arms at this time, lying on the table looking at him.

"I have, but that was a low-level product, it could only open the most entry-level weapons."

As he spoke, Liang Yue's mind moved, and he quickly found the wooden hand crossbow from a storage box in the warehouse and placed it on the table in front of him.

"This crossbow looks like the workmanship is very poor~"

As an expert in the archer profession, Alwen glanced at it and saw the situation of this hand crossbow almost.

"Actually, it's not just the workmanship that's bad, the range is only less than twenty meters, the power is small, and the trajectory is scattered, but this is a weapon from the game world.

It can fire arrows infinitely. When I was an ordinary person, I relied on it to survive in this base world~ Hehe!"

"Infinite, arrows! ?"
