Chapter 143: Exclusive Skill!

With just a snap of his fingers, Amamiya flicked the coin into the air. It spun briefly before landing flat on the table, front side up.

A notification from the game appeared in front of him.

[You used the mysterious silver coin] 

[You successfully landed heads, your fortune has improved] 

[For the next 10 minutes, all probability-related actions will receive a positive boost]

"It landed on heads right away?! You're so lucky!" Chika sighed in disappointment. "I thought we agreed to be unlucky together."

"I never agreed to that," Amamiya replied firmly. "Don't twist my words. The luck boost only lasts for ten minutes, so..." He paused for effect.

Naturally, it was time to open the blind box while luck was on his side!

In the next moment, a daily blind box appeared in his hands. Without any hesitation, he opened it, and a golden light burst forth, accompanied by colorful fireworks lighting up the air.

The three girls' eyes widened in shock.

"Wait, is that... golden light?"

"A Golden Legend!"

"The luck bonus really worked?!"

The blind box quickly faded away, leaving behind only a small, palm-sized black card. Amamiya made it's attributes public, allowing the others to see:

[Item: Dark Chef's Certificate] 

[Description: Equipping this item grants you the professional title of 'Dark Chef'. You can identify the weaknesses of dark creatures, harvest edible ingredients from them, and any dark cuisine you create will receive special bonuses.] 

[This item is bound to the user and cannot be transferred.] 

[Note: The top ten restaurants in the world may all be in the UK, but they serve French cuisine! It's time to pick up the dark kitchen utensils and redeem British food's reputation!]

"..."

After reading the item's description, everyone fell silent.

Sure, it was a golden legend, but something about it felt... off.

"British cuisine..." Chika crossed her arms, her gaze distant as if recalling some long-buried memory. She muttered, "I remember, back in junior high, my family took a trip to England. That night, my dad suggested we try some traditional British dishes... Fish and chips were fine, but later came stargazy pie and eel..."

"No, no!" Chika clutched her head, visibly trembling. "Something horrible is resurfacing from the depths of my mind."

"Well, it's still a golden item," Umi pointed out with a cough. "You never know when it might come in handy. Like, um… during an assassination, perhaps?"

That's enough! Who would use 'dark cuisine' for an assassination? Might as well just hit them with a brick!

"Oh, by the way," Umi quickly changed the subject, raising her phone. "Amamiya-kun, can you help me draw a card in the game?"

"Sure."

Amamiya took her phone, drawing ten times in a row. The screen flashed with golden light as two SSRs appeared at once, demonstrating just what it meant to be lucky.

"I want a card pull, too!" Chika's eyes lit up as she handed over her phone. "Please, Amamiya-kun!"

Once again, Amamiya pulled ten times, and the results were even more incredible than before.

"Wow! That's amazing!"

Chika covered her mouth in disbelief.

"Two SSR Ultra Instinct Goku and Two SSR Gear Sixth Luffy!? WOW!!"

Even Amamiya himself was taken aback. A "double yolk" card pull was impressive, but this was truly something else.

"…"

Using the fortune boost for card pulls in a game felt like such a waste. Wouldn't it have been better to buy a lottery ticket instead?

Unfortunately, the boost period was too short, and there wasn't enough time to buy lottery tickets.

Amamiya turned his gaze toward Kaguya.

"I don't need it," Kaguya quickly shook her head, blinking. Although she had switched to a smartphone, she hadn't gotten into mobile games, so there was no need for her to ask someone to draw for her.

Amamiya thought for a moment before taking out the Mermaid's Tears. With his fortune temporarily heightened, it was the perfect moment to enhance his skills.

He currently had three skills: one of them involved capturing the outlaw Don, which required cooperation with another person—so strengthening it solo wouldn't be meaningful. The second skill was a passive ability called 'Become Stronger by Lying Down', which was useless in this game. That left only one option.

Without much hesitation, Amamiya muttered to himself, "I'll enhance 'Dark Magic'."

Once he made the decision, the Mermaid's Tears melted in his hands, turning into a bright stream of moonlight that flowed into his forehead.

[Enhancing... Fate is rippling...] 

[Special enhancement triggered...] 

[Enhancement successful!]

Amamiya glanced at the results. On his character panel, the icon representing 'Dark Magic' had vanished, replaced by a golden skill icon.

[Exclusive Skill: Touch of Fate] 

[Description 1: Take it! You can seize aspects of fate from a target through physical contact, including attributes, health points, and basic skills. The stolen power will slowly dissipate over time.]

[Description 2: What's mine is yours! You can share the power of fate with others through physical contact. If they use the borrowed power, it will quickly deplete.]

[Note: Skills are ranked by priority. If the target's skill rank exceeds that of 'Touch of Fate,' their abilities cannot be stolen.]

[Final Note: Allow me to show you the true meaning of copy and paste!]

"..."

After reading the last note, Amamiya was at a loss for words.

There might be a lot of detail in the description, but upon reflection, it really was just 'copy and paste'. Simple and straightforward.

"Amamiya-kun, how did the enhancement turn out?" Umi asked eagerly.

"Not bad," Amamiya replied, sipping his tea as he displayed the upgraded skill.

"Whoa!" Umi's eyes lit up. "It became a golden skill! I've never seen that happen before."

"Copy and paste?" Chika crossed her arms. "That's quite the visual."

Kaguya was the first to grasp the implications, her eyes widening slightly. "Does this mean you can share the 'Evil Spirit Repel' aura?"

At her words, the other two immediately caught on.

"Ahh! That's right! The 'Evil Spirit Repel' aura!"

"That should work, shouldn't it?" they asked excitedly.

Amamiya considered for a moment. "Let's give it a try."

"Hurry and try it out!"

The three girls were practically buzzing with anticipation.

Who cared about pulling many SSR characters when they could have an aura that repelled evil spirits?

Amamiya, deep in thought, muttered, "So, for physical contact... do I need to hold your heads down like the ghost captain?"

"No one said you had to hold down our heads," Umi quipped. "Just hold hands, right?"

"Amamiya-kun, hold my hand," Umi and Chika said in unison, both stretching out their hands.

The two girls glanced at each other, neither willing to back down. Instead, they proposed a more practical solution.

"How about we all hold hands together?"

Kaguya: "..."
