NFBE Chapter 47: Acquire Personal Skill - 'Snorkeling Specialization'
Chapter 47: Acquire Personal Skill - 'Snorkeling Specialization'
He Fan woke up in the evening.
The rain outside looks much lighter now.
Since entering the mountains, He Fan's cell phone has had no signal.
Suddenly, a WeChat message and more than a dozen missed calls popped up.
It's likely that Captain Zhang and his team didn't get much rest in the afternoon, as they managed to restore the signal.
Unlocking the phone, the first thing that pops up is those dozen or so missed calls from Wang Jingfang.
He Fan called home to let them know he was safe and sound, telling them to rest assured that he was with his military personnel and that they could not worry.
He then opened WeChat and sent a message to Zhao Bo: "Where can I buy a civilian helicopter?"
Zhao Bo is currently at home scrolling through Douyin (TikTok).
Upon seeing the ID of the "Luxury Meal Box" message me, I almost instantly switched to WeChat.
The top guy in Lucheng: "Sister Fan, what do you need a helicopter for? Hangzi's family does this kind of business, I'll have him add you."
Luxury boxed lunch: "I'm doing disaster relief."
Zhao Bo: ......
He had originally intended to tease Sister Fan about her fun, but this reason left him speechless.
All I could do was silently reply, "Sister Fan, please be careful."
In the blink of an eye, He Fan received a friend request for verification.
Fu Hang: "Sister Fan, I'm also in our Lucheng Bangge group. I've finally added you on WeChat."
He Fan got straight to the point: "I want to buy a civilian helicopter that can be used for rescue operations in the rain."
Fu Hang: "Sister Fan, how many seats do you want? What's your approximate budget?"
Luxury boxed lunch: "I don't have much of a budget, but I need it in stock and delivered to Qingzhuoshan in Ling City as quickly as possible."
Fu Hang: "Sister Fan, if you want to use it for disaster relief, the only suitable one in stock is an R44, priced at 500 million."
He Fan sent his location to Fu Hang: "Please be sure to deliver it here as soon as possible. This area is severely affected by the disaster. Also, please provide me with enough aviation gasoline and send me the payment account number."
Fu Hang could see that He Fan was anxious, so he didn't dare to delay any longer and got up to arrange the matter.
The system said, "Host, why don't you try your luck with the lottery?"
He Fan scoffed, "It's so expensive, I won't smoke it."
System: "Host, just draw one, and I guarantee you won't lose out or be fooled."
He Fan asked in confusion, "You've been acting all mysterious these past few days, I wonder what you've been up to. And today you insist I participate in the lottery again?"
System: "Hurry up and draw! One shot and you'll be satisfied."
He Fan said helplessly, "Draw, draw, draw. Use system points to draw. You can deduct the points yourself."
System: "Ding~ 1 system points have been deducted. Start the lottery now."
System: "Ding~ Congratulations to the host for acquiring the personal skill: Snorkeling Mastery."
"Huh???" He Fan feigned confusion.
System: "Host, you're incredibly lucky! You got the skill you need most right now on your very first draw."
He Fan: ......
Well, this is a skill that the rich guy spent two days researching for himself.
She was still touched, but this drama queen's acting was terrible.
He Fan, oblivious to the romance, asked, "Tell me, what's going on? How did you get this, and what does this snorkeling specialization mean?"
System: "What? How did you get it? You just got lucky and drew it yourself."
System: "Snorkeling Mastery! As the name suggests, it is the highest level of skill combining snorkeling and diving."
Seeing that He Fan still didn't speak, the system continued to show off: "No matter how fast the current is, it's a piece of cake for you to swim ashore."
"The host can hold their breath for up to 15 minutes while diving. You should know that the world record for humans in your dimension is only 12 minutes."
He Fan was secretly surprised: "But I don't feel any changes in my body."
System: "Um... Is it possible that you haven't confirmed the skill deployment yet?"
He Fan rolled his eyes in anger.
If the system had a physical form, she would definitely give it a good whack.
He said irritably, "Then let me confirm it!"
The system continued in a slightly smug tone, "Okay, host, would you like to activate your personal skill now?"
He Fan took a deep breath and resignedly replied, "Yes."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Fan felt a lightness in his body, and returned to normal in just a second.
System: "Beep beep beep, skill deployment successful, permanently valid."
He Fan: "Open the panel for me, big spender."
System: "Okay."

He Fan found it quite novel that his personal skills no longer displayed 'none'.
"Big shot, are you sure this skill is really as amazing as you say? I'm not done living yet."
System: "Host, please rest assured that everything produced by the system is of the highest quality. In your current world, nothing has yet appeared that can break the rules of our system."
Having received a positive response from the wealthy man, He Fan was eager to try his luck.
This skill is incredibly tempting for someone born by the sea who can't swim.
But the floodwaters were too dirty for her to have any interest in taking a swim.
I don't know what the situation is like outside.
He Fan tidied his hair, put on his shoes, and walked out of the tent.
The sky was still terribly overcast, and a light drizzle was falling.
Ji Anran and Wu You were lighting a fire near He Fan's tent, talking about something.
Seeing He Fan come out of the tent, Wu You quickly waved.
"Sister Fan, you're awake! Come here and warm yourself by the fire."
The temperature difference between day and night is always large in the mountains, and because it rains constantly, it feels damp and cold at night.
He Fan strode over: "Where are Captain Zhang and the others?"
Ji Anran explained, "Team Leader Zhang led his team to rescue people."
“There’s a small inn on the back of the mountain, and many tourists are trapped on the top floor. Now that the rain has lessened, they’re using kayaks and rescue ropes to try and move them over here first.”
He Fan nodded without saying much, picked up a bag of bread next to Wu You and started eating.
He asked, his words slightly slurred, "Did Brother Du and the others go back?"
"Yes, they've been gone for over an hour. It's easier to drive an empty car, and they've safely gotten on the highway."
While munching on his bread, He Fan said, "Okay, don't forget to transfer the remaining payment to them."
Ji Anran replied, "Understood, Sister Fan."
Before He Fan could even swallow the bread, the anxious voices of the rescue team members came from the base tent.
"Commander Ding, the drone has detected a small landslide on the back mountain, and Team Leader Zhang's signal has been lost!!"
"What!?"
......
