I Studied Abroad in the Modern Times - Chapter 104Book 2: : Add Money

In the world of dynasties and martial arts, Lin Yan awakened the memories of his past life and struggled to survive with his half-sister.

Fortunately, he awakened cheats. As long as the ability proficiency reached 100%, he could sublimate the skill to the extreme and give rise to strange special effects.

Swallowing – [Transforming Poison]: Invulnerable to all kinds of poisons, swallowing poisons can be transformed into qi and blood to feed oneself.

Five Birds Hand – [Spring Return]: consume qi and blood to recover from injuries

Dragon Fist – [Cloud from Dragon]: Ride the wind to swim the dragon, and speed instantly doubled.

Mountain Breaking Fist – [Wind from Tiger]: White Tiger breaks the army, and instantly doubles the instant damage.

Attack – [Ape God Strike]: The whole body force converges in one point.

Defense – [No Phase]: Distribute the attack received evenly to all parts of the body

…

A secret realm wrapped in poisonous miasma, where no one could enter without being killed by touching it?

I had [Swallowing – Transforming Poison]. I could enter and leave the secret realm at will.

The secret medicine must be used to counteract the injury?

I had [Five Birds Hand – Spring Return], and I could practice at will without fear.

Every special effect was a cheat.

The world was in turmoil with demons, the people were like ghosts, the ancient world was revived, and the world would be in chaos.

Only with the idea of invincibility, I should open up a path of prosperity, overlooking the nature of the rivers and mountains.

Deep below the earth's surface, a mystifying subterranean seascape lurks, an archipelago bathed in inky blackness where suspense and horror hold court. Here lie strange islands and even stranger monsters, far beyond the realms of human imagination. In this domain, mankind is far from dominant; instead, madness and death rule supreme.

Pleading for mercy from the unknown creatures of the deep only leads to a slow, tortured existence. The trapped survivors gradually distort, losing what made them human, both physically and mentally, to the gloom as they remain trapped in this eternal obscurity. Their only hope? A perilous expedition into uncharted sea territories.

Fueled by determination, Charles embark on this daunting voyage aboard his steamship, aiming to reclaim humanity's past glory. Together with his crew, they sought a way out of this hidden sea world, a path back to the sunlit world above, where humans once stood tall.

=========================================

I read a few comments from Chinese readers that compared this novel with Lord of Mysteries because of similar elements: Lovecraftian, western fantasy, first industrial revolution, and steampunk. However, I have yet to finish reading Lord of Mysteries to do any actual comparison, but I do think those who have enjoyed that novel would enjoy this as well. Also, the author of LotM, Cuttlefish That Loves Diving, also did a shout-out for this novel, so I guess he approves of it too?
