327 The special Yan Liuyuan (1/2)

In the past, when Ren Xiaosu was learning the duplicated skills, they would be categorized into five levels—beginner, intermediate, advanced, master, and perfect.

The Basic Skill Duplication Scroll could only learn a skill up to the advanced level. Even though Yang Xiaojin's firearms proficiency was perfect, Ren Xiaosu only managed to learn it to the advanced level. It also did not allow the user to learn any superpowers.

If he wanted to continue learning, he had to use the Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll after his firearms proficiency reached the advanced level.

Meanwhile, the Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll would allow the user to randomly copy the target's master-level skill or superpower. If he had duplicated Yang Xiaojin's Perfect Firearms Proficiency and did not have the corresponding Advanced Firearms Proficiency, then this Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll would have been useless.

Thus, the Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll was not without its risks. However, the palace had now given him an easier choice. When paired with a Basic Skill Duplication Scroll, the Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll enabled him to learn anything in one shot.

Now that Ren Xiaosu had obtained the Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll through his quest, he definitely had to learn some superpowers with it. So it was better to use it on someone who had superpowers.

But after thinking for a long time, he realized there was no one around him he could learn any powers from.

No, he could learn from Yan Liuyuan!

Although a selfish person like him had no use for a power such as making wishes, if he gained the ability to manipulate curses instead, that was something he could really play around with. Moreover, it didn't seem like Yan Liuyuan had any other master-level skills. That way, the palace would automatically decide to learn his superpower!

Thinking of this, Ren Xiaosu ran back home excitedly. He did not even go over to Lu Yuan's place.

Both An Yuqian and Zhou Yingxue were left dumbstruck.

When Ren Xiaosu returned home, he called Yan Liuyuan into the house. He immediately said to the palace, ”Use the Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll.”

However, something Ren Xiaosu didn't expect happened. The palace answered, ”Unable to use the Skill Duplication Scroll on the target.”

This time, Ren Xiaosu was stunned. He never expected this outcome.

This had never happened before when he used the Skill Duplication Scroll on anyone else. Moreover, based on the palace's answer, he couldn't even use the Basic Skill Duplication Scroll on Yan Liuyuan either.

Ren Xiaosu scrutinized Yan Liuyuan. Why was Yan Liuyuan an exception to the palace? After all, the palace was a power that could even reset nanomachines.

Yan Liuyuan was not a refugee, or rather, Ren Xiaosu was not sure if Yan Liuyuan was a refugee in the past. That was because… he picked Yan Liuyuan up in the wilderness.

That winter, he had found Yan Liuyuan unconscious out in the wilderness. Initially, Ren Xiaosu wanted to leave Yan Liuyuan there and not do anything about it. But in the end, he started feeling uneasy after leaving him there for some time before going back to bring Yan Liuyuan to the town. Back then, he asked many people while carrying Yan Liuyuan on his back if they knew whose child it was. In the end, no one was able to answer him.

After Yan Liuyuan woke up, he could not remember anything and only addressed Ren Xiaosu as his brother. But it was at that moment that Ren Xiaosu was touched, because he had never felt anything like having a family before.

However, Ren Xiaosu was a ruthless guy. If he could not even support himself at that time, how was he going to support others? He had thought of chasing Yan Liuyuan away when he regained consciousness.

But Yan Liuyuan kept staying outside his shack the entire day while in tears. At that time, Ren Xiaosu hardened his heart again and asked him, ”Can't you go to someone else's house and cry? I can't support you!”

Yan Liuyuan replied in confusion, ”But you're my brother.”

Ren Xiaosu's heart softened for the first time ever. ”If you want to survive in this wilderness, you have to at least have one skill, right? Tell me, what can you help me with?”

In truth, Ren Xiaosu was trying to find an excuse to keep him. If the child in front of him could help him out a little, even if it was just doing some simple chores for him, he would grit his teeth and keep Yan Liuyuan with him.
