Reincarnated As a Fox With System novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196 - 196: Upgrade!

.....

Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy kept wandering around the palace and search for the key, but both of them met with countless traps along their way.

BAAAAAAANGGG~!!!

The floor below Tang Li Xue's feet vanished, and Tang Li Xue's body plunged down into the dark hole, but she did not panic at all.

She canceled her [Ethereal form] and used her [Energy Manipulation] to create a long rope with a grappling hook in an instant.

She swiftly threw it above on one side of the wall, and the grappling hook end stuck on it.

Tang Li Xue climbed back up using the long rope and jumped out of the dark hole.

'Sigh... this [Energy Manipulation] is really convenient! I should train more often on using this [Energy Manipulation], so I can raise my proficiency in using it faster.' Tang Li Xue sighed in relief and activated her [Ethereal form] again.

Tang Li Xue could avoid most of the traps with her [Ethereal form] such as landmines or hidden arrows, but this kind of trap hole that disappeared randomly still kept giving her a huge headache.

Meanwhile, Tang Li Xue's copy managed to meet with Hei Yinghao in the imperial kitchen.

"Silly Fox, what are you doing in the dining room? Searching for food?" Tang Li Xue's copy rolled her eyes to Hei Yinghao.

"Xue! Uh... no, actually, I wanted to search the gatekeeper room first to find the key, but I got lost and ended up here." Hei Yinghao blushed and tried to explain.

Tang Li Xue's copy thought that Hei Yinghao's plan made sense. Rather than searching blindly like this, it was better if they have a clear destination.

Tang Li Xue's copy peeked at the map made by her [Mapping] skill in her mind and saw only some places on the map that were already uncovered.

Imperial Kitchen, Imperial Study, Royal Dining Room, Hall of Ancestry Worship, Palace of Tranquility...

In short, they did not even know where the gate to the outside, so how could they find where the gatekeeper room.

"What a headache! Let's try to upgrade this [Mapping] skill first then... It's already at the Mastered level for quite a long time. I hope it will become more useful!" Tang Li Xue murmured while rubbing her forehead.

[Mapping skill already reached the Mastered level. Do you want to upgrade it to Mapping Sense with cost 10 Skill Points?]

"Ten Skill Points?! That's pretty expensive! Aren't it usually only need 3 skill points to upgrade any skills?" Tang Li Xue complained.

'Should I use 10 Skill Points to upgrade it or not? And... here I even already spent 79 Skill Points yesterday!' Tang Li Xue thought for a few moments before gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

'YES!'

[Mapping ability upgraded to Mapping Sense ability!]

Tang Li Xue widened her topaz blue eyes in shock and delight after she understood the [Mapping Sense]'s true ability.

This [Mapping Sense] ability did not have any different from the previous [Mapping] skill, but it allowed Tang Li Xue to place a single tracker onto whatever she wanted!

For example, if Tang Li Xue placed her tracker onto Hei Yinghao right now and made him wandering to the place where she never visited before, then the blank place in Tang Li Xue's map inside her mind will be uncovered too!

Then what if Tang Li Xue placed her tracker onto Instructor Mei Lan before the game started?

This [Mapping Sense] was surely a cheating ability to play hide and seek!

She could even stalk anyone easily with this [Mapping Sense]!

Tang Li Xue sucked a deep breath and kept blinking her eyes in astonishment as she thought: 'It's really worth it! No, this skill should worth more than 10 Skill Points!'

Tang Li Xue immediately urged her perfect copy to test this [Mapping Sense] by putting the tracker onto Hei Yinghao's body.

It seems she needs to make physical contact to put the tracker onto the target, so Tang Li Xue's copy grabbed Hei Yinghao's arm and put her tracker onto him.

Hei Yinghao immediately blushed as his face turned red like a prawn because Tang Li Xue's copy was suddenly holding his arm.

'So I can only put the tracker on the place where I touch? Since I only touched Silly Fox's sleeve, I can only put the tracker on his clothes? Doesn't it mean the tracker will be useless if he changed his clothes later?' Tang Li Xue thought for a while and told her perfect copy to touch Hei Yinghao's palm.

Hei Yinghao blushed even deeper when Tang Li Xue's copy holding his palm, but he did not refuse it and even grasped the copy's palm tighter.

Tang Li Xue's hand was so soft and smooth, the warmness of her slender fingers transferred to Hei Yinghao's palm, made his heart beating so hard that he felt suffocating, but his mind was completely filled with the euphoric feeling.

Tang Li Xue's copy pulled her hand away from Hei Yinghao's grasp. Actually, she only needs to brush her target's skin a bit to put her tracker, but she did not know about it before, that was why she held Hei Yinghao's palm tightly.
