Chapter 28 A Complete Transformation
Chapter 28 A Complete Transformation
This New Year's gift package should consist of long-term nutritional supplements, and the fact that this body has already begun postnatal development.
Putting everything else aside, in the past six months, Zhou Ye has grown significantly taller, more than half a head taller than before. He has almost reached the average height of an average person.
My weight has also increased significantly. It must have been several tens of kilograms!
Especially since he started out as skin and bones, he began to develop fat and muscle, and now he has eight-pack abs? He's at least the kind of strong, average person.
So the increase in basic stats is normal. And as I enter puberty, I'll probably gain a few more points... right?
That evening, Zhou Ye cooked a large feast. It was to celebrate his birthday and to welcome the belated New Year. He even opened a bottle of wine, intending to have a few drinks.
The winemaking process wasn't entirely successful. Three jars had spoiled, leaving only five intact jars. However, these flaws don't detract from the overall quality; nothing is ever perfect.
And so, enjoying fine wine and admiring the snowy scenery, Zhou Ye spent a very pleasant evening.
However, after waking up the next day, he continued to grind like crazy. Because there were only a few days left, he was almost able to max out even his basic slashing skill.
A few days later. Basic Slash skill maxed out. Max level reward: Strength +1, Agility +1, 3 free attribute points.
想了想,周野又给体质+1,0→+1;又给魅力+1,-1→0
In this way, the minimum requirements for practicing those three third-rate martial arts techniques are met.
[Zhou Ye (Ordinary Person): 15]
Root bone: -3
Comprehension: +4
[Basic Data]
Life: (100/100)
Strength: +2
Agility: +7
Constitution: +1
Essence: +5
Charisma: 0
[Technique]
Basic Poison Skill (Mortal): Perfect (1000/1000) (+)
[Martial Arts]
Basic Cleave (Underachievable): Perfect (1000/1000)
Basic Archery (Underachievement): Minor Success (0/200)
Basic Thrust (Underdog): Mastery (3/100)
Basic Throw (Unskilled): Perfect (102/1000)
Basic movement technique (unorthodox): Minor achievement (127/200)
Basic Shield Bash (Underdog): Mastery (6/100)
Basic Hammering (Underachiever): Mastery (1/100)
Basic boxing (low-level): Proficient (0/100)
Basic Throw (Underachiever): Proficient (1/100)
Free attribute points: 3
Based on these basic statistics, aside from his charm, he's just an average person—neither handsome nor ugly, just a very ordinary appearance. But this suits Zhou Ye perfectly; he wants to blend into a crowd, appearing unremarkable, thus maintaining a low profile.
The other stats are almost all positive. Especially the +7 Agility and +5 Spirit, which far exceed the average person's level. It can be said that they have a particularly outstanding talent in a certain area.
In addition, there's the max-level basic slash. As expected, it also has a max-level bonus, and even adds a whopping 5 points.
However, the previous reward for reaching the maximum level of the cultivation technique was 5 points of comprehension and 5 points of other attributes, for a total of 10 points.
The reward for reaching the maximum level of a martial arts skill this time is equivalent to 5 free attribute points, which is less than half the reward for a cultivation technique.
Well, a reward is already pretty good. After all, I got 5 points, which means I've already undergone a complete transformation.
Another point is that after reaching the maximum level, the basic slash skill no longer has a "+" suffix. It seems that the basic slash skill cannot be upgraded. Reaching this maximum level is practically the pinnacle of skill development.
……
From that day on, Zhou Ye began to practice the Ten Forms of Military Swordsmanship (hereinafter referred to as the Ten Forms of Swordsmanship).
Sure enough, the panel displayed: Military Sword Techniques Ten Forms (Third-rate): Not yet a beginner (0/10)
To be honest, regardless of whether it's a third-rate martial art or not, it's still far more refined than something utterly mediocre. The only drawback is that it's very difficult to cultivate, with only a mere 2 experience points gained each day?
However, Zhou Ye had plenty of time. Five days later, it became—Ten Forms of Military Swordsmanship (Third-rate): Beginner (0/50)
Sure enough, once you reach the third-rate martial arts skill level, you will receive an entry reward of 1 free attribute point.
Furthermore, Zhou Ye discovered that once he mastered the ten basic sword techniques, he would be able to incorporate the fundamental slashing techniques into them.
So Zhou Ye chose to merge them. This resulted in a significant amount of experience points. Ultimately, it became—Ten Forms of Military Swordsmanship (Third-rate): Beginner (39/50)
Finding the experiment quite successful, Zhou Ye pressed on, successfully triggering both the Savage Bull Tempering Technique and the Cloud Ladder. Furthermore, within the following ten days, he obtained the following: Savage Bull Tempering Technique (Third-rate): Beginner (0/50); Cloud Ladder (Third-rate): Beginner (0/50).
Unsurprisingly, learning these two third-rate martial arts techniques also granted 2 free attribute points.
However, after much hesitation, Zhou Ye did not choose to integrate the basic movement techniques into the Cloud Ladder.
Because their basic movement techniques are quite comprehensive. They are capable of endurance running, sprinting, maneuvering in tight spaces, and leaping high into the air...
As its name suggests, the Cloud Ladder is more suited for high-altitude ascents and descents. However, it is slightly weaker in other aspects.
Therefore, Zhou Ye planned to lay a solid foundation and hone his basic skills. Once his basic movement techniques were at their maximum level, he would then choose to integrate them into the Cloud Ladder technique.
In any case, they already have a whopping 6 free attribute points, which is quite a generous amount.
Now we need to consider the next stage of our training plan.
It's very simple; the main focus is on basic throwing and basic movement techniques. The goal is to max out both of these skills in one go.
The minor courses are basic archery, basic shield bashing, and ten sword techniques.
Master basic archery skills as quickly as possible. Maintain your consistent fighting style, prioritizing ranged attacks.
The basic shield bash has also been mastered to a high level. And the ten forms of swordsmanship have been achieved to a minor level.
Although these two martial arts techniques don't offer much experience, the current consideration isn't training efficiency. It's all about practicality. These two techniques are for close combat, creating a last line of defense. In the event of a sudden, face-to-face attack, at least you can protect yourself.
And so, spring slowly approached, and the season of renewal arrived...
In the past few days, we've accumulated over 4000 jin (2,000 kg) of salt at home. Mainly because we have nothing to do and are extremely bored.
Therefore, when Zhou Ye discovered that many bamboo shoots had already sprouted in the bamboo forest, he enthusiastically began to dig for bamboo shoots.
I carried several bags of bamboo shoots home. Unfortunately, the bamboo rats had already eaten them all, leaving only their skins. In the end, I peeled a few bamboo shoots, thawed some frozen fresh meat, and cut a piece of salted pork rib, then put everything together to make soup…
Looking at the house overflowing with all sorts of things, not only is the storage room full, but the kitchen and even my bedroom are completely filled. I need to cash in on all of this as soon as possible.
Otherwise, when spring arrives and the snow melts, many things will be lost and wasted.
Since that's the case, I'll go down the mountain again once the snow melts... shall I?
