Chapter 104 - 104 Worthy of the Name
104 Worthy of the Name
Ning Shi quickly returned to his residence.
The delivery man was in a black and red uniform, holding a package in his hand, waiting at the entrance of the courtyard.
“I’m sorry to have kept you waiting, Xiao Li!”
“It’s okay, Mr. Ning. Please open the package for verification, then use this machine to verify your fingerprints and iris, and sign for the goods.”
Ning Shi took the package. It was a black iron box that was one foot tall. He removed the seal and opened the password lock. There were five A-level crystals inside.
After putting away the crystals, Ning Shi cooperated with Xiao Li to verify his identity and complete the signing process.
“Thank you for your cooperation. See you next time!”
After Xiao Li finished speaking, his figure disappeared on the spot.
This scene was very familiar, Ning Shi had seen it at Mo Yu’s place.
It was obvious that the deliveryman was a space-type awakener.
Ning Shi walked into the room, locked the door, and prepared to improve his power.
[ Do you want to use an A-level spiritual crystal to upgrade your strength to Level 6? Yes, no.]
Ning Shi clicked yes, and the number of A-level crystals increased from 6 to 5.
A stream of energy gradually fused into his body. As the energy gushed into his body, the muscle fibers and structure of his body were changing.
Last time, when he rose from Level 3 to Level 4, the density of Ning Shi’s bones and bones had been enhanced. This time, when he rose to Level 6, it was his internal organs and flesh that had been enhanced.
Ning Shi could feel that the strength-type special ability to strengthen the body was different from adding points in the game.
The strength of the game came from the ability of the origin treasure, which was a comprehensive enhancement of the whole body.
The strengthening of abilities was gradual and focused.
The first to third tiers of strength-type abilities were the adaptation period, and the increase in strength was slow and even.
After Tier 4, strength abilities would gradually change the body, bones, flesh, organs, and so on.
It allowed the body to adapt to a stronger power.
Such an experience could only be felt when one was truly cultivating.
Only with such an experience could he teach his students in a targeted manner.
[ Do you want to consume another A-level spiritual crystal to increase your strength to Level 7? Yes, no.]
“I can also absorb A-level crystals, but I have to wait for 24 hours.”
[ The host’s body has gradually adapted to the energy of the crystals. You can absorb more crystals at once. If your body can’t bear it, the system will give you a prompt. Please absorb it without worry. ]
Ning Shi always felt that the system was encouraging him to absorb spiritual crystals, just like an agent recommending customers to buy a house.
“The game system probably charged me a toll when it helped me absorb the crystals?”
Ning Shi stopped his reverie and clicked yes again.
This time, the energy of the spiritual crystal directly rushed to his brain, and Ning Shi felt that his brain seemed to become heavier.
“I won’t become a fat-headed fish, will I?”
In his wild thoughts, Ning Shi’s strength-type awakener level had reached Level 7!
The increase in strength this time was very fierce, at least 50%.
Ning Shi couldn’t believe it. He had a large physical base. When he cultivated his strength-type special ability, his physical quality increased, but compared to the original base, the increase was very small.
Did he really think that the strengthening of his body would be so obvious when he advanced from the sixth to the seventh step?
Ning Shi took a look at his body’s data.
[ Physique: 44 (55) ]
[ Spiritual power: 30 (45) ]
[ Appearance: 8 (handsome) ]
[ Family Background: 6 (a slightly rich family. Family background changes according to the generations of the protagonist, unrelated to the protagonist himself) ]
[ Bloodline: Thunder-armored Tyrannosaurus bloodline (Level 6/ Potential 10 stars) ]
[ Class: Bloodline warrior Level 16 (11.77 million/20.48 million) ]
[ Skills: Cloud Shadow Steps Level 5, Bajiquan Level 5, basic swordsmanship Level 10 ]
[ Talents: Learning (gold), divine power (blue), undying (blue), lightning field (gold), draconic might (gold), draconic body (gold), Blade Armor (blue), tyrant body (gold). ]
Not only did his Physique increase by 1 point, but his violence (purple) talent had also grown to divine power (blue), and his tyrant body had also been upgraded from blue to gold.
[ Divine power (blue): Increase strength by 500%. ]
[ Tyrant body (gold): passive talent. Immune to normal attacks and 100% resistance to negative status effects. Note: Damage that tyrant bodies are immune to will still be reflected by the Blade Armor. ]
All along, Ning Shi had never expected his strength system ability to make his strength advance by leaps and bounds. He didn’t expect that it would be so powerful at Tier 7.
He was also a little confused. Was a Tier 7 strength-type awakener that powerful?
The game system gave a prompt.
[ After Tier 7, the strength-based ability’s strengthening effect on physical fitness will increase proportionally. The proportion is determined by the individual’s talent. ]
[ The user’s strength-type talent has a compatibility of 90. It’s considered a top-tier talent. The increase to Tier 7 physical fitness is about 50%. ]
[ The talent is upgraded because after the host’s strength system ability reaches Level 7, the host will obtain two special traits. ]
[ Attribute 1: Boundless strength. Strength increased by 150%. It has been incorporated into the violence talent and has been upgraded to divine power (blue). ]
[ Special trait 2: Body of steel. The body is as hard as steel and immune to some physical damage. It has been incorporated into the super physique talent. ]
Ning Shi instantly understood how overbearing strength-type awakeners were.
This was a special ability. It was not purely step-by-step cultivation, which unreasonably increased physical fitness in proportion.
That was why Ning Shi’s improvement was so great.
After understanding this principle, Ning Shi instantly understood that strength-type awakeners must have a good foundation.
The stronger the foundation before Tier 6, the better the physique, and the greater the number.
After reaching Tier 7, his strength would increase even more.
From now on, Ning Shi felt that he was truly the number one person of the strength type.
He had his own insights and insights on the cultivation of strength-type awakeners.
[ Do you want to continue consuming 3 A-level spiritual crystals to increase your strength to Level 8? Yes, no.]
Ning Shi was overjoyed that he could still absorb it. He continued to improve!
[ When your strength system is upgraded to Tier 8, your physical fitness will increase by 60%. For the convenience of calculation, it will be converted to about one physique point.
[ Obtained physical characteristics: rapid recovery, able to recover stamina and injuries at a breakneck speed. It has been integrated into the talent undying (blue), and the undying talent has been slightly improved. ]
His strength ability had advanced to Tier 8, and Ning Shi’s physique had increased to 45 points!
He didn’t expect that his physical growth, which had almost stagnated in the game, would start to surge in reality through his strength-type abilities.
Unfortunately, there was only one A-level spiritual crystal left, and Ning Shi could no longer continue to upgrade his power.
Three A-level crystals were required to upgrade from Tier 7 to Tier 8.
According to this ascending pattern, it would take at least nine A-level spiritual crystals to upgrade from Tier 8 to Tier 9.
After that, he would need at least an S-level spiritual crystal to advance to the overlord realm.
The version update of the game system also required S-level crystals.
Ning Shi instantly felt that his merit points and resources were insufficient.
The officials had yet to confirm the reward for contributing the original extreme body forging method, so he didn’t know how much it would be.
A-level and S-level spiritual crystals were strategic resources of the government. The government didn’t sell them, and they had to exchange for them with merit points.
Ning Shi planned to use low-level spiritual crystals like E-level spiritual crystals to level up his special ability first.
Low-level spiritual crystals could be bought with money, and they could also speed up the cultivation of special abilities.
Due to the international trade of the awakening potion, the supply of crystals in the country was abundant. The price of E-level crystals was not expensive, 5000 per piece.
If it was bought by a student or a soldier’s family, there would be state subsidies.
Compared to the price of 100,000 for one pill overseas, it was considered cheap.
Ning Shi had more than 2 million in his card now, and he planned to use it all to buy spiritual crystals.
It just so happened that the school’s research lab needed to buy a large number of crystals to produce strength potions, and the channel was readily available.
“As long as there are sufficient resources, the speed of superpower cultivation is much faster than leveling up in games.” Ning Shi thought, “Next, I have to find a way to earn some merit points to exchange for high-level spiritual crystals and earn some wealth to buy low-level spiritual crystals.
“I have shares in the university’s research lab. However, it has just been established and I need to invest some money. I won’t be able to see any profits in the short term. Why don’t I go to the Investigation Department and take on some missions? I can get a bonus and earn some merit points.”
Ning Shi was thinking about how to make money when his phone started to vibrate.
It was a call from Yang Yunzhi.
“Dazhi, how have you been recently? Do you want to treat me to a meal again?”
“Ning Shi, there’s a problem with our company. We need you to come out and solve it.”
Ning Shi looked at the time. It was almost 11 o’clock. He couldn’t help but ask, “Are you in a hurry? If not, I’ll come to you tomorrow morning.”
Today was the start of the National Awakening competition. In order to train the actual combat skills of his three disciples, Ning Shi asked them to sign up.
The first match of the three was scheduled for the afternoon. In order to encourage them, Ning Shi had promised to treat them to lunch at noon and watch their game in the afternoon.
However, if Yang Yunzhi was in a hurry, he would have no choice but to break his promise to his disciple for the sake of his brother.
“There’s no rush. You can go ahead with your work. I’ll pick you up at your school at 9 am tomorrow. We’ll talk about the details when we meet tomorrow.”
“Alright, see you tomorrow!”
