Lin Yu's attention wasn't solely focused on ["Brushwork Blooms"].
He also noticed another physique-related talent—
["Delicate Frame"]!
At the current intimacy level,
only the skill name was displayed, with no description available.
But judging by the name alone,
the gist was easy to grasp.
It probably meant the socially anxious little artist was fragile, soft, and prone to...
What the hell would happen if he ended up with ["Delicate Frame"]?
Would he collapse at a girl's touch, left utterly at her mercy?
Yikes!
Using a Ghost Hand Talisman on little Fufu might be a bit risky, no?
If he tried learning painting now...
He'd probably have to study till his grandma's age in his past life to gain any skill!
The more he thought, the messier it got.
Fortune favors the bold—after all, he hadn't seen the little artist collapse and spread-eagle at a touch.
So what if he was a bit delicate? Maybe there'd be a chance to patch things up with medicine later.
Having used the ["Forbidden Expedition Talisman"] before,
activating the ["Ghost Hand Talisman"] this time felt much smoother.
After preparing the incantation in his mind,
an additional option appeared to confirm the target before he crushed it.
Flickers of crimson light faded in his mind as the system prompt followed—
[Ding!]
[Ghost Hand Talisman activated...]
[Target: Joyous Sect Talisman Master!]
[Congratulations, host! You’ve acquired the attribute skill: "Kaleidoscopic Vision"!]
["Kaleidoscopic Vision": A myriad of hues flood the discerning eye, piercing the colors of the heavens. No longer bound by mortal sight, the world blooms in radiant splendor.]
Lin Yu: "???"
What the—?
He’d meant to test the Ghost Hand Talisman’s accuracy,
but instead verified another ability—
Even without seeing the attribute skill, the talisman could randomly copy it!
["Kaleidoscopic Vision"] was completely unexpected.
After gaining the skill,
Lin Yu quickly grasped its effects.
Everything around him now seemed sharper in color contrast.
So this was... hyper-chromatic vision!
So this was how vibrant the little artist’s world was?
Beyond the visual upgrade,
a flood of professional color terminology also poured into Lin Yu’s mind.
Scarlet, mahogany, tangerine, grapefruit, peach, berry...
Hey!
Honestly,
without this ability,
Lin Yu’s world would’ve categorized those shades as:
Super red, very red, red, kinda red, reddish-yellow, reddish-black...
At least picking lipstick would be a breeze now.
But right now,
what the hell was the point of just distinguishing colors?
On to the second Ghost Hand Talisman—
Lin Yu steadied his breathing, inhaling deeply.
Time for some gacha luck!
[Ding!]
[Ghost Hand Talisman activated...]
[Target: Joyous Sect Talisman Master!]
[Congratulations, host! You’ve acquired the attribute skill: "Brushwork Blooms"!]
["Brushwork Blooms": Talismans channel the heavenly dao, a single stroke unveils eternity. Within paper lies cosmos and suns; ink holds the truth of the divine.]
Lin Yu: "!!!"
Finally!
Two talismans weren’t wasted after all.
Disaster averted—no weird skills this time.
"Brushwork Blooms" was now his!
A vast reservoir of painting techniques and experience flooded Lin Yu’s mind.
This was way more thrilling than watching a soccer goal.
A goal?
Hell, he was almost in the goal!
While the two girls chatted in hushed tones, Lin Yu swiftly moved to the next step before forgetting—
[Ding!]
["Dreamwalk Technique" activated!]
[Tonight, the host will appear in the Joyous Sect Talisman Master’s dream (dream type randomized)!]
Another bold step toward becoming Ysera.
With "Brushwork Blooms" and "Ysera," could the little artist escape tomorrow?
The soul-cultivation hurdle had to be cleared first!
The innocent little artist had no idea
her dreams tonight were already booked by Lin Yu.
...
Twenty minutes later,
Mo Shangying and Ye Mengfu left Lin Yu’s bedroom.
The trio had discussed the upcoming soccer match—the final at dawn two days later.
After being called "Master" for days by Shangying,
Lin Yu couldn’t let it go to waste.
He skipped predicting the third-place match (he genuinely didn’t remember the outcome)
and went straight to the final, giving Shangying and Ye Mengfu the correct result.
Having witnessed the miraculous 7-1 prediction,
Mo Shangying didn’t doubt Lin Yu’s words for a second.
She planned to place her bet at peak odds tomorrow, with Lin Yu joining in.
Beyond the match, two days later marked another important occasion—Thursday!
(Disclaimer: It’s Thursday here because the plot says so. Don’t @ me.)
If Messi couldn’t score, the sect’s star striker would take over.
The tank would crush the cocky little Pampas whiners...
And for that,
some celebratory prep was essential.

All four items were instantly cleared out.
The [Available Spirit Stones] counter plummeted by 5000.
Earning spirit stones had seemed easy before,
but spending them felt like watching water slip through his fingers.
Time to grind more stones—especially with his dao companions,
since their "easter egg" rewards doubled the usual payout.
After the shopping spree,
Lin Yu opened his inventory to inspect the items.
["Immortal-Binding Rope" (chamber-only, dao companions only)]
[Description: Once a Kunlun relic for subduing serpents, now a crimson drape for teasing phoenixes. Soft as love, hard as steel—resistance melts into bliss.]

["Joyous Bell" (chamber-only, dao companions only)]

Lin Yu: "Yikes!"
The system’s really good at writing racy poetry.
Vivid, straightforward—no deep analysis needed.
At least it hadn’t crossed into "felony" territory.
Restricted to chambers and dao companions,
it set a moral baseline for this scoundrel.
How oddly principled.

Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives.

To raise public awareness about crime prevention, nations including China, the United States, Russia, and the United Kingdom jointly launched a reality show—The Thief Game. All stolen items obtained by participants would be converted into cash by the show’s producers. In an instant, every applicant went wild with excitement. While everyone’s attention was fixated on gold shops and jewelry stores, Chen Feng, holding the Kaito Kid character card, smirked and said, "Jewelry? I think the crown jewels of the British monarchy would be perfect."
