After sulking for a while, the thick-skinned James Bolton quickly became playful again, muttering with a hint of amusement:

　　“Since I’m already a master-level physician, I might as well diagnose myself.”

　　As he spoke, he really did imitate a game, placing the index and middle fingers of his right hand on the pulse of his left wrist. Then, James Bolton once again fell into a state of dumbfounded shock.

　　Because, inexplicably, new information appeared in James Bolton’s mind out of nowhere.

　　Diagnosis: mild concussion, minor soft tissue contusion of the skull, mild internal organ congestion, congestion location...;

　　Cause: severe shock and impact causing vascular rupture...;

　　Treatment: Ninghun Anshen Powder for calming the mind, Shumai Tongxue Decoction for internal use, Jiucao Zhuanggu Gel for external application, acupuncture...

　　Next, the formulas and preparation methods for Ninghun Anshen Powder, Shumai Tongxue Decoction, and Jiucao Zhuanggu Gel, as well as the acupuncture points, depth, and needling techniques, all appeared in James Bolton’s mind.

　　Although James Bolton studied Western medicine, after all, Chinese and Western medicine are in the same field, so he had heard of some traditional Chinese methods.

　　Precisely because of this, this string of information that appeared in his mind shocked James Bolton greatly, because both the diagnosis and the treatment methods were truly reliable. At this point, even James Bolton, who considered himself the staunchest materialist proletarian warrior, couldn’t help but doubt.

　　“Could it be that I’m really in a game? Or being gamified?”

　　Eager to confirm his suspicions, James Bolton hesitantly whispered, “Inventory!”

　　Sure enough, a pitch-black space appeared in James Bolton’s mind. In that indeterminate space, a glimmer of golden light flickered faintly, and upon closer inspection, it was a square box adorned with gorgeous golden patterns.

　　When James Bolton focused his attention on the box, a line of text appeared faintly beside it—

　　Novice Gift Box: A mysterious gift that every new player receives. It could be just a copper coin, or it could be a thousand-year-old miraculous herb, a peerless weapon, or a supreme martial arts manual. No one knows what’s inside until it’s opened.

　　(This item is for personal use only, cannot be dropped, cannot be traded)

Chapter 002 Novice Gift Box

　　In “Wulin Three Kingdoms,” the novice gift box has a hidden attribute: the items inside can ignore their own requirements—once opened, you can directly equip or learn them!

　　For example, if the novice gift box contains a Xuan Iron Heavy Sword that requires 90 strength, even a newcomer with only 1 strength can wield it effortlessly after opening the box, not only fully unleashing the sword’s power, but also with no side effects.

　　Or, if the novice gift box contains the “Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms,” which requires 80 strength, 70 constitution, 80 root bone, and 20 comprehension, even a top-tier crippled newbie with only 1 in each stat can easily master this “Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms,” and use it just as well as those with high root bone, high strength, and high comprehension.

　　Focusing his mind on the golden novice gift box in his mind, James Bolton’s lips began to tremble.

　　Because before his car accident, he had used GM privileges to modify this novice gift box.

　　And the item James Bolton put in the modified novice gift box was neither the Heaven-Reliant Sword nor the Dragon-Slaying Saber, nor was it a thousand-year snow lotus or ten-thousand-year lingzhi, but a martial arts manual—the legendary eunuch-exclusive martial art—“Sunflower Manual”!

　　In “Wulin Three Kingdoms,” the “Sunflower Manual,” which in the original “Smiling Proud Wanderer” included internal energy, lightness skill, and techniques, now only retained the lightness skill—“Sunflower Movement Technique”—but this “Sunflower Movement Technique” was one of the top six lightness skills in the entire game!

　　These six top-tier lightness skills belonged to the Jin, Gu, and Huang kingdoms, two for each.

　　They are: Gu Kingdom—‘Fragrant Commander’ Charles Lawson’s “Fragrant Movement Technique,” ‘Four-Eyebrowed’ Luke Ford’s “Phoenix Dance of Nine Heavens”;

　　Huang Kingdom—‘Evil King’ Stephen Stone’s “Phantom Demon Movement Technique,” ‘Androgynous’ Lily Reed’s “Heavenly Charm Yin Condensation”;

　　Jin Kingdom—David Dean’s “Lingbo Microsteps” and Edward Osborne’s “Sunflower Movement Technique”!

　　Compared to these six, even famous lightness skills like Daoist Musang’s “Divine Movement of a Hundred Changes” and the Blue Winged Bat King William Wade’s “Bat Ghost Steps” are a notch below.

　　Of course, although these six lightness skills are all top-tier and equally effective, each has its own focus. All six grant +5 agility per level and increase agility effects by 50% when used, but their special effects differ.

　　Edward Osborne’s “Sunflower Movement Technique” increases attack speed by 30% per level.

　　It’s the best lightness skill to pair with martial arts that require high attack speed, such as “Overturning Rain Sword,” “Little Li Flying Dagger,” and “Evil-Resisting Sword Technique.”

　　‘Four-Eyebrowed’ Luke Ford’s “Phoenix Dance of Nine Heavens” increases jump height by 30% per level.

　　It complements martial arts that require high jumps, such as ‘Lord of White Cloud City’ George York’s “Heavenly Flying Immortal” sword technique and the “Soaring Dragon in the Sky” move from “Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.”

　　It’s also the most suitable lightness skill for special terrains, such as slopes and high platforms.
