#222 - Chapter 222 The Grand Draw is Over
“Lottery!”
An octagonal stone appeared in Qi Jing's palm, with a chicken painted on it.
The Chicken Talisman!
Qi Jing recognized the stone at a glance.
Chicken Talisman: Allows the holder to fly; can consume stamina to control objects floating.
I can fly infinitely now! Hahahaha!
Although the speed isn't as fast as the Winged Serpent's wings, it's small and doesn't require spreading such large wings, so I can fly indoors too.
“Lottery!”
Martial Art - Crane Control, Dragon Capture: Manipulate objects in mid-air with Source Energy (Inner Force).
emmmmm
Isn't this just the Chicken Talisman without the talisman?
Looks like it can't make me fly yet.
Not bad, I guess.
“Lottery!”
Mental Strength Potion (Small): Slightly increases mental strength.
Glug, glug, glug (drank it down in one gulp).
Smack, smack (licked his lips).
Tastes like chlorophyll.
“Lottery!”
Levitation Stone Slab: 1m × 1m × 1m; ignores gravity; requires great force to move its spatial position.
“Lottery!”
Crystal Necklace: Glows at night.
“It's over, my luck has run out.”
Qi Jing plopped down on the Levitation Stone Slab he had just drawn.
It floated in mid-air, as if a part of it was hidden below, always touching the ground.
No matter how Qi Jing shifted his body on it, it wouldn't budge an inch.
“Levitation Stone, some castles in the skies of other worlds use these stones as their foundation.”
Yu Ding recognized the stone and pointed downwards, continuing, “My little house uses this kind of Levitation Stone as its foundation.”
“So, you're not constantly using telekinesis to hold it up.”
“I need to sleep too, and I can't use my powers while sleeping. If I were really holding up this little house all the time, I'd have to lower it before going to sleep every time. That's too tiring.”
Si Kong Yao Yao asked, “There are actually castles in the sky in other worlds? Are there people living in them?”
“No one lives there.
So far, we've only discovered two such castles, and no living beings survived in either of them. They're two dead cities.
But some of their equipment is still running, without dust or debris.
So, we dismantled one of them to study their technology.
And the other Sky City, as a scenic spot, or rather a base, has had its operation restored and is inhabited by some researchers and ‘lonely people’.
Yu Ding was the main force in the demolition, and he moved some of the foundation stones to Earth to build this aerial cabin.
“However, both of these Sky Cities are reconnaissance stations. We speculate that there is a Sky Kingdom somewhere in the other world, composed of tens of thousands of Sky Cities.
Because the functional buildings of those two Sky Cities are incomplete, they can only perform basic exploration and defense, and are not sufficient to support the complete survival of living beings.
If you see a Sky City in the future, be sure to stay away from them immediately, and don't get close, or you might be blasted into smithereens.”
They had tested the power of those defensive devices, which was extremely impressive, but due to the difference in energy, they couldn't be replicated.
“Alright, I'll send you down. Have a good class tomorrow.”
Yu Ding didn't continue talking about the Sky City, after all, it was only discovered in recent years, and not much time had been spent on research, and the researchers were also in short supply.
They still only had a superficial understanding of it, not enough to write in textbooks, so there was no need to tell them too much yet.
Yan Cheng suggested, “Why don't you use the Chicken Talisman to send us down?”
Qi Jing immediately refused:
“No, no, it's definitely not skillful to use the talisman for the first time, what if I drop you?”
“Try it, I'll take responsibility, you won't die. If something happens, just treat it as bungee jumping.”
Yu Ding also wanted to see how effective the things drawn from him were.
“Then I'll give it a try.” Qi Jing agreed.
Anyway, there's a top-level ability user to back me up, so I can be a little bolder.
“Who wants to come?”
Yan Cheng said, “Me!”
Wu Tianxin also raised her hand, “Me too!”
Si Kong Yao Yao bounced, “Me too!”
Qi Jing counted and said, “Three, that's okay.”
Tan Zuoyin grabbed Qi Jing, “I'll try it too.”
“Okay, then come on.”
Qi Jing held the Chicken Talisman in one hand, and pulled Tan Zuoyin with the other, then focused his mind to activate it.
Instantly, he and Tan Zuoyin floated up from the ground.
After flying up a few meters, feeling not bad, Qi Jing lifted Yan Cheng into the air as well, and then let him circle around him twice.
“Dizzy, dizzy, stop spinning.”
After successfully testing his ability, Qi Jing lifted the remaining two people up as well.
“Our location is now on the school's playground, just go straight down.”
Yu Ding had moved the cabin here while they were singing. The lottery was actually taking place in the sky above the school all along.
“Okay!”
Bungee jumping! I haven't tried that yet!
Qi Jing directly took them slowly down from the sky.
“Cool!” This was Yan Cheng's first time flying in the sky.
After a few seconds, Qi Jing felt pretty good, so he started experimenting with Yan Cheng.
First, he released the levitation force on him, letting him fall freely for a short distance, and then caught him again.
“Ah ~ ~ ~ ~”
Yan Cheng almost thought he was going to die, although Yu Ding was there to back him up, he was still very scared!
“Damn it!”
Yan Cheng had just stopped his free fall and was catching his breath when he started falling again.
“Qi Jing, you jerk!”
This time, he fell all the way to the edge of Qi Jing's control range before stopping.
Fortunately, this levitation force was acting on the whole body, otherwise he would have been strangled to death.
But this sudden feeling of overweight was still very uncomfortable!
Yan Cheng felt like he had shrunk a bit.
Qi Jing asked him, “How was it! Was it fun!”
“Fun! It was so much fun I almost died!” Yan Cheng shouted at Qi Jing.
“I want to try too!” Wu Tianxin wanted to try this no-rope bungee jumping after seeing that Yan Cheng was fine.
Si Kong Yao Yao also said, “Me too!”
“One at a time.”
Qi Jing didn't dare to let two people try it together, he almost failed to catch Yan Cheng just now.
“So cool ~ ~”
Wu Tianxin and Si Kong Yao Yao both liked this thrilling feeling.
“Exciting!”
Qi Jing also wanted to try it.
Without waiting for Tan Zuoyin to agree, he suddenly released the levitation force on both of them, and fell straight down.
“Ah ~ ~ ~”
Tan Zuoyin hugged Qi Jing tightly, like a koala bear sticking to his whole body.
However, Qi Jing didn't have time to feel it. He was putting all his energy into maintaining Yan Cheng and the others' levitation and his own descent.
After an unknown amount of time, they finally landed on the ground with Qi Jing's ups and downs.
Qi Jing felt like he was Song Jiang driving for the first time, his legs were a little shaky.
Fortunately, nothing happened.
He verified the maximum range of the Chicken Talisman and Crane Control, Dragon Capture, which were over 100 meters and around 10 meters respectively.
However, martial arts can be enhanced through practice, while the power of the talisman is fixed.
Who knows which one will be better in the future.
