The clash between Jack’s leg and Patty’s head created a light so bright that it blinded everyone who witnessed it. Thankfully though, it only lasted for a millisecond before it died down and everyone regained their bearings. The lackeys expected to see at least a head flying on the other side, but that didn't happen.
Jack still had his leg high up in the air with his shin making contact with Patty’s head. But they didn't expect to see Patty’s head still rigidly on his shoulders, like it didn’t even move a single bit. This one finally woke them up to reality and forced them to realize that Patty was much stronger than they thought.
“That..that’s impossible.”
“How could…but…how…”
Patty brushing off Jack’s drop shot could be explained by the wind or the misuse of skill, but to be unaffected by a head-on collision with Jack’s kick could only be explained by the immense difference in strength between them. Jack knew about Patty’s seemingly invincible body, but he at least thought that his new technique would have given him a cut or something. But he didn’t even make a dent, literally.
But the three of them were not the only ones surprised. Patty himself was astonished to see what the system told him.
[SSS+class Gluttonous Adephagia skill activated]
[Sensing Teqx Power by direct contact…]
[Initializing…]
[D-class Drop Shot Teqx identified]
[You have gained 50 Yi Power for discovering a new Power Teqx]
Patty was surprised to see that when he made contact with Jack, he seemed to have automatically activated the new power that the system gave him–well, the power that he blackmailed from the system.
He didn’t have the time to figure out what kind of power it was, but he knew that it was good solely because it was rated at a SSS+ class skill. He didn’t even have any comparison to see how powerful this skill was. Even the most famous skills that were available to the public was at the most SS-class, which was already the top of the top. Those kinds of skills only exist in this world by one hand, and all of them were hoarded by the Supreme Being’s clans.
It was even rumored that those SS-class skills, even at their base form, were enough to cause global catastrophes if they weren’t controlled properly. It could uproot entire countries from the very world itself, it could create tsunamis that could reach the moon, and it could break physics by allowing someone to surpass the speed of light itself. Those were just rumors, of course, because those that have it do not want to publicly give out details about it for fear that it could be used against them.
Those that had S-class skills were already considered to be the very elite, the movers and shakers of the world. Then, those who have SS-skills were the ones who controlled those movers and shakers. Then, what about this SSS+skill? What miracle could it do?
From the name itself, he could guess that it had something to do with consuming stuff. From what he could remember, according to ancient Greek mythology, Adephagia was the goddess and personification of gluttony itself. As for how Patty knew this, rest assured he didn’t study about it. He simply just played enough video games and watched enough television to pick up a few facts about mythology.
[DNA information about D-class Drop Shot Teqx available to sell in the System Store]
[Will you sell this information for 3000 Credits?]
[Y/N]
Of course, Patty picked yes. Thankfully, he didn’t have to use his fingers to touch and the system simply read his mind and automatically picked the yes option.
[You have received 3000 Credits]
[You have received an additional 75 Credits due to your Interdimensional Merchant minion’s skill]
This was easy money, which could prove useful later. To think that he was having so much trouble trying to get enough Credits to buy the D-class Voice Box Teqx. If he had this skill much earlier, he could have just gone to Chain University and touched every student there and just watched as the Credits rolled into this inventory. If he had, maybe he could have given the Voice Box Teqx to Grammo and prevented all of this from happening. But regret was an eager beaver’s thing, not a lazy thing, so Patty didn’t think about it any further.
But as it turned out, that was not the only thing he received because of this skill. It turned out that this SSS+class skill was not just rated like that for nothing. The next words of the system showed him just why this skill was so powerful.
[Teqx successfully copied!]
[D-class Power Teqx added to skill repertoire]
[You are now able to use this power at any time]
He could use this D-class skill at any time? Just like that? Without anything else he needed to do?
This fact shocked him to his very core so much that he didn’t believe it at first. How absurd was it that all he needed to do was touch someone and then he could just copy their skill just like that? If anyone ever heard that Patty had this kind of cheat, then they would spread it all over the world and have everyone clamoring to try and steal this away from him, even if it wasn’t possible.
But that wasn’t the only thing that made Patty’s mind break from surprise. There was one sentence that the system showed him that really bothered him.
[D-class Power Teqx added to skill repertoire]
This seemed to imply that he could copy all kinds of Teqx and add them to his skill inventory or something. This meant that he could potentially be able to use any Teqx that was known to man. And the system didn’t mention any limit. Usually, if it had a cost or restrictions, it would have told him beforehand.
This was a world breaking skill. After all, if there was no limit to this skill, then it was very much possible for Patty to copy all SS-class skills and be the most powerful person on the entire planet. Of course, this could be incredibly dangerous too since those elite groups of people don’t like having someone intrude on their space–and they especially don’t like it when someone steals their stuff.
Even if Patty doesn’t technically ‘steal’ Teqx, he only copied them, those elites wouldn’t want their own powers to be devalued. They want to be the only one who has them and have a monopoly on it.
So, Patty decided to keep this fact for himself. If he showed Griff and his lackeys that he was able to copy their Teqx and use it against them, then they could definitely spread it around. It wouldn’t take long until some powerful beings tried to hunt him down to get his powers. And that was not even his only power! The System itself was a game-breaking cheat that shouldn’t exist.
“TSK! How are you so freaking tough?!” Jack winced as he held his broken leg. He must have broken his Tibia bone from that collision.
“HA…HAH….HA..” Grammo couldn’t help but feel pleased to know that his friend was almost indestructible. He had been incredibly lucky to have chanced upon Patty and have him help him.
Ryan and Buck were furious with Grammo for laughing. Now that they knew how powerful Patty was, they couldn’t help but feel the fear creeping behind them. They felt like fools who were bamboozled and misled by Patty, letting them think that he was a weak and pathetic man. They knew that Patty was no easy prey, so they decided to take out their anger on Grammo, who was still tied down and defenseless.
“Shut up, you idiot! Didn’t we tell you to keep your mouth shut?! Why are you so stubborn?! If we tell you to stop singing, then stop singing. If we tell you to shut your mouth, then you shut your mouth!” Buck roared.
“You pigheaded swine! Don’t make me kill you.” Ryan threatened.
They both felt really weak because of what Patty showed them. Even they couldn’t take on Jack’s attack head on. They would have died. So, they berated and bullied Grammo to establish that they were still in the upper hand. Seeing Grammo cower in fear made them feel like they were strong again.

Your dignity 10 Yi PowerThe system showed the mission again, reminding Patty to deal with the bullies once and for all. Even the system had enough of hearing them bully the weak like Grammo.
Patty then pushed his head back and then headbutted Jack, who was still disoriented from the previous clash. He could do nothing as Patty’s forehead clashed with his own.
[Physique]
[Head: 40/100]
And even without Patty asking for it, the system manipulated his body stats so that all of his extra Yi Power was poured into his Head.
[Physique]
[Head: 100/100]
Patty’s lazy smile was the last thing that Jack saw as his world turned to black the moment he was headbutted with the force of 100 humans.
With Jack down for the count, Patty looked at them and said;
“You say Grammo’s stubborn, well, you haven’t met me. People say I’m a little…hardheaded.”
The clash between Jack’s leg and Patty’s head created a light so bright that it blinded everyone who witnessed it. Thankfully though, it only lasted for a millisecond before it died down and everyone regained their bearings.
