Chapter 4 The Iridescent King Serpent
This world should be a completely unfamiliar other world to Lin Manman, but it also bears many traces of the world she once lived in. For example, the area where she was born and raised is called Jinling District, and most of the people living there are Chinese.
Since the first secret realm was created in this world two hundred years ago, the energy around the portals to these realms has become disordered and uninhabitable. Humanity's territory has been shrinking, and the emergence of professionals among humans has exacerbated this situation.
This world also has oceans and land, but it is much, much larger than Lin Manman's original world. The ocean divides the land into five major plates, which are named according to their directions: east, south, west, north, and the central continent.
Huaxia is located on the Eastern Continent, and it boasts sixteen large main urban areas like Jinling District. Whether in terms of geographical area or the number of professionals, Huaxia is undoubtedly number one.
One of the distinctive features of Jinling District is the antique pavilions and towers that can be seen everywhere on the streets. Although various light screens float in the air, they do not detract from the beauty of the buildings at all. On the contrary, they highlight the solemnity and ethereal atmosphere amidst the colorful neon lights.
Although professionals in this world possess overwhelming combat power, it doesn't mean that technology is lagging behind. On the contrary, because professionals bring back many otherworldly materials with unique abilities from various secret realms, the technological level of this world is advancing by leaps and bounds.
Some of the most powerful technological weapons are so powerful that even highly skilled professionals cannot withstand them.
Lin Manman walked on a wide main road. Various land vehicles and people riding spirit beasts went their separate ways, while flying spirit beasts and flying machines echoed each other. The products of technological civilization and the creatures with their fantastical colors collided to create a bizarre and unique scene.
Although I've lived here for fifteen years and am no longer at the age where I was shocked for days like a country bumpkin the first time I went out, I still feel a sense of wonder every time I go out, as if I'm living in a cyberpunk fantasy novel.
Lin Manman walked into the tallest building on this main road.
"Hello, I'm here to pick up something." I handed my receipt to the teller in the lobby.
The young female teller looked up at Lin Manman. "Minors are not allowed to conduct business."
"I'm handling this on behalf of my relatives." Lin Manman skillfully turned on her smart bracelet, which projected the family relationship certificate and the authorization letter.
"Please wait a moment." The teller deftly connected to the communication device, received the document, and quickly began processing it.
"Please follow our security guard to safe number 6018 in section C. This is your password; please keep it safe."
A tall, middle-aged man walked up behind Lin Manman. The man nodded to Lin Manman and gestured for her to follow.
The other person's aura was steady, and their steps were rhythmic and powerful, clearly indicating they were a professional. Out of curiosity, Lin Manman activated the system and used its built-in detection function to glance at the other person's attribute panel.
Liu An
Cardinality attribute:
Qi and blood: 5460
Spirit: 1560
Soul: 2900
Class: Berserker (First Class)
Talent: Blood Burn: Burns blood energy to increase all attack effects by 50% for 1 hour, with a cooldown of 48 hours.
Lin Manman was shocked. This wasn't just a level 5 elite professional warrior; he had also awakened a talent. Jinling Bank was really generous; this was just security in Zone C. What about the more valuable Zones B, A, and even S?
The man in front seemed to sense something and glanced back at Lin Manman. Lin Manman quickly composed herself and became as quiet as a chicken.
The other person was not only four levels higher than me, but also an elite professional. Even glancing at them would make me seem disrespectful.
In reality, professionals are divided into four major categories based on their professional characteristics: warriors, elemental mages, beast tamers, and priests. However, each major category contains many different professions, which are further divided into three levels—ordinary, elite, and leader—based on individual aptitude.
Warriors are divided into ordinary warriors, berserkers who can use berserk combat skills, shield warriors who can use shield-type combat skills, and spear warriors who are known for their agility, etc.
Lin's father is a level 6 shield warrior, but unfortunately he didn't awaken his talent, otherwise he could have joined a level B expedition team.
"We've arrived." The man nodded to Lin Manman and walked to the side, standing with his hands at his sides.
Lin Manman secretly breathed a sigh of relief, took out the PIN given to her by the teller, and scanned it in the identification area. After a crisp "click" sounded, the heavy cabinet door slowly opened, and a blast of cool air wafted out.
To prevent the soul energy of this spirit pet egg from being lost, Lin's mother specially rented a high-end life cryopreservation box to preserve the spirit pet egg.
She took out her backpack and carefully stuffed the box, which was barely bigger than her head, inside. As she did so, she thought about how she hadn't chosen a profession or awakened any talents before.
Therefore, even with a system, it's impossible to check the breed and quality of this egg. I wonder if there will be any surprises waiting for her this time.
The dog crept home cautiously, not daring to delay for even a moment, and immediately took out the box and opened it.
Inside the box, there was a tiny, white egg, no bigger than her two fists, lying quietly inside.
I couldn't wait to bring up the system interface, and sure enough, the system had already displayed the detailed information about the spirit beast egg.

Upon seeing the panel, Lin Manman's eyes went black and then brightened. Of all things, it had to be a snake! She was afraid of snakes! But this was a snake with innate talent and mythical bloodline. Although the bloodline content was extremely low, there was still a chance, wasn't there?
Lin Manman gritted her teeth and paced back and forth. Just thinking about having to fight alongside a snake day and night made her hair stand on end.
However, this snake's mimicry skills combined with its abnormal spatial teleportation talent make it practically a born assassin. As long as it gets within ten meters of its target, it can launch an attack silently. Even if its attack power is insufficient, its unpredictable attacks can wear down the opponent to death.
[Special Note: The life force of the Rainbow King Serpent Egg is dissipating; its grade will drop to low-grade silver in 20 minutes.]
Lin Manman took a deep breath; she didn't have many choices to begin with.
If you were to sell the Rainbow King Serpent egg and buy a new spirit pet, not only would it be difficult to sell the egg at a mid-level silver grade, but even if you did sell it, it would be very difficult to find another spirit pet with such innate talent.
contract!
It's just a snake, right? You won't be afraid after seeing it a lot! If she missed out on such qualities and talents, she would really cry for three to five years.
