I really can't control myself.

Chapter 4168 Success
Linton was just complaining about the lack of a notification sound, but he didn't expect that one could be made on the spot.

To test whether his idea was correct, Linton pointed directly in the direction to the side and said, "The wind rises!"

"Ding, skill successfully used."

The next moment, a strong wind suddenly appeared, blowing away a significant portion of the large amount of smoke and dust that had been spreading around. Indeed, Linton found the surrounding air too polluted; while it was slightly better where he was, the improvement was limited, with the same amount of dust still spreading everywhere.

Now, when the wind picks up, the surrounding visibility becomes clearer.

Even better news was that his guess seemed to be correct; using his verbal skills had actually generated a notification. There couldn't be better news. Linton even felt that his hundreds of millions of points had become more worthwhile.

"Explosion!" Linton pointed casually to a large rock in the distance, then spoke again. Yes, just a random attempt.

With a loud "bang," the stone that Linton was pointing at exploded instantly, completely without warning. Of course, Linton still heard that familiar notification sound.

"Ding, skill successfully used."

"Good, good, good..." Linton nodded in satisfaction. Although the power of the explosion was nothing to brag about, it really only blew up that rock and didn't blow up anything else, didn't that just prove that his skill was highly accurate? Linton only wanted to blow up the rock, not the whole thing, so this was a perfect achievement.

"It's glowing!" Linton tried again.

"Ding, skill successfully used."

"Let me fly!"

"Ding, skill usage failed."

"Why?" He was having a great time testing it when suddenly it failed. This unexpected turn of events brought Linton to the brink of disaster.

No, why? Although Linton himself knew that he seemed to have a very poor compatibility with flying-type abilities, as if he were under some kind of Groudon curse, he could accept that he couldn't fly with 10000 points of Flying Technique, but even hundreds of millions of points of Law Power wouldn't allow him to fly?
And this skill can actually fail to be used? Linton thought it wouldn't fail.

Thinking of this, Linton looked at the system assistant, Xiao Hei, again. Had the system's sudden success notification just now been a notification that the verbal attack on Xiao Hei had been successfully delivered, or a notification that he had successfully created the notification sound himself?

After all, there was no notification sound when I verbally attacked the system.

After thinking for a moment, Linton decided to give it another try, regardless of whether it was right or wrong. So he pointed at the system, Xiao Hei, and said, "Give me double the pain."

"Ding, skill successfully used."

"Okay." Linton was certain that his skill had worked. Since doubling had succeeded, it must have succeeded before, right? Otherwise, why would zero keep doubling and still be zero? It's like doing math problems here.

The system assistant on this side was still looking at Linton, wondering what he was doing. It seemed like he was... testing something.
Indeed, he had noticed something amiss. Linton was clearly testing something. Was he testing his newly acquired abilities? He recalled the investigator Zhang Tuo, whom he had previously possessed. According to Zhang Tuo, it was quite simple for investigators to acquire new abilities; there was a built-in shop where they could directly buy skills, similar to the system shop he had created.

So, what skills did Linton buy to temporarily counter me? Are they being tested now?

But what kind of skill is this? He only saw Linton suddenly release a wind-like magic skill, and then suddenly make a rock in the distance explode. Could such a skill be used against him?

Seeing Linton pointing at him again, he remained somewhat wary. But after a while, he still couldn't react, and he was completely confused about the situation.

"Since that's the case, then... why don't you slap yourself first, and make it a loud slap?" Linton suddenly said to the system Xiao Hei.

"???" System Xiao Hei was clearly dumbfounded. What did you mean by suddenly saying that? Do you think he's crazy? If you say he'll slap himself, does he really think he'll actually slap himself?
However, just as System Xiao Hei was thinking this, it suddenly discovered that its right hand had actually lifted up on its own.

System Xiao Hei panicked, because this was clearly not under his control. He tried to stop his right hand from moving, but it was no use. Linton had already heard the notification tone again.

"Ding, skill successfully used."

With a dull thud, just as Linton had said, the slap was really loud, so loud that Matsumoto Yoshiji, who was filming nearby, felt a phantom pain on his face, even though his head had become a camera.

Even more outrageous, the system, Little Black, slapped itself in the face, sending itself flying into the air, spinning three times before crashing back to the ground. Linton watched in amazement, thinking it was truly the king of self-slapping.

"Ugh... what... what's going on?" Although the blows were quite severe, the damage to System Black was rather limited. After all, even if he exploded, he could regenerate quickly, let alone suffer damage like a slap.

But now he was completely dumbfounded. Not only because Linton had inexplicably gained control of his body, but more importantly, as he lay on the ground, he suddenly felt a sensation he had never experienced before.

This feeling made him involuntarily frown and his lips twitch. Yes, if he wasn't mistaken, this feeling was what most people would call…pain.

"Does it hurt?" Linton stepped forward and asked, looking at the system on the ground. His question was half sarcastic, and half genuinely curious about whether his words had truly come to pass.

The system, Xiao Hei, didn't answer. It touched the spot where it had hit itself, feeling a strange sensation.

"Oh, you can feel it?" Linton, watching the other person touch their face, already knew the answer he wanted. It was obvious they could feel it; otherwise, why would they be touching their face?
The system, Xiao Hei, was so shocked that he even forgot to use his regeneration ability, because his face, which had been slapped, was rapidly swelling up, a situation that should not have occurred for someone with such rapid regeneration abilities.

"What...what did you do to me?" After a long while, the shocked system Xiao Hei finally came to its senses and asked Lin Dun.

"What did you do? Does it matter?" Linton said, shrugging. "Anyway, it's already done, and now you should understand what you're facing. Feel the pain, understand the pain. Ready to carry rice?"
