Chapter 224
C224 – Continue to Level Up
As the system’s alert chimed, Jiang Hao’s mind was once again flooded with a wealth of knowledge. Yet, with his mental attributes soaring, his capacity to assimilate this information was rapidly strengthening. In no time at all, Jiang Hao had fully absorbed the influx of knowledge.
Upon awakening, Jiang Hao was ecstatic. “A Third Grade God Chef can create food with special spirit materials that permanently enhance attributes! And even food made with regular ingredients can boost attributes for an entire day!” Jiang Hao had been fretting over how to improve his strength autonomously, and it was as if the universe had answered his silent plea, providing a pillow as he ‘slept’.
The revelation that a third-level God Chef skill could craft food with such lasting effects was astounding. But what exactly were these special spirit materials? Sensing Jiang Hao’s puzzlement, the system promptly clarified, “Host, special spirit materials are medicinal herbs infused with spirit energy! Even ordinary ginseng is just barely considered a special spirit material.”
Jiang Hao tensed at the explanation. If ordinary ginseng barely made the cut, what then qualified as a true spirit material? “Ding! Host, only ginseng that is a century old truly counts as a spirit material!” The system’s blunt revelation was like a punch to the gut. Jiang Hao’s face fell. Century-old ginseng was a rarity, not easily found or bought, no matter the wealth one possessed. Where was he supposed to find such a thing?
Feeling utterly dejected, Jiang Hao decided to set aside his God Chef aspirations for the moment. His attention shifted between the Beat-Dog-Stick Arts, Lee’s Flying Knife, and the Great Five Elemental Yin Yang Needle Technique. “Considering the experience needed to level up within the same tier, Lee’s Flying Knife seems to be of a superior grade,” he mused. “I’ll upgrade Lee’s Flying Knife first!” His limited skill points were the source of his dilemma—if only he had more.
”System, upgrade Lee’s Flying Knife!” he commanded.
“Affirmative, host,” the system responded.
“Ding… Lee’s Flying Knife upgrade successful!” Lee’s Flying Knife was now Level 3 (0/1000), with the motto ‘Lee’s Flying Knife, Unfettered!’
The system alert chimed promptly.
Following that, Jiang Hao felt a fresh wave of energy flood into him, which was promptly devoured by the tyrannical chaos energy within his body!
His internal Qi grew stronger as well!
At this point, Jiang Hao’s actual combat power had once again doubled!
If he wished, no one could come near him!
Jiang Hao curbed his urge to test out his new abilities and surveyed his other skills, along with the remaining 100 skill points.
After some deliberation, he opted to reserve the 100 attribute points for future needs.
In certain situations, he might require additional skills to turn the tide!
Gazing at his attribute panel, which had undergone a significant transformation, Jiang Hao couldn’t help but feel elated.
Then, in the underground warehouse, he began to acclimate to his newly amplified strength.
Yet, he noted that while he had defense and long-range attacks, he lacked in close-quarters combat.
That’s when Jiang Hao suddenly recalled the martial arts technique the Old Master had bestowed upon him!
He quickly retrieved the technique from the System Space.
“System, is there a way for me to master this boxing manual?”
Jiang Hao held the manual, looking at it with eager anticipation, and inquired of the System.
The idea of learning the manual on his own was out of the question!
Indeed, learning was out of the question. He would never manage it in this lifetime. Training in martial arts was too exhausting; he’d rather just coast along with the system, content to be a laid-back bystander who could cheer with a ‘666’!
“Ding… Unnamed Boxing Technique discovered. Would you like to learn it?”
The system’s prompt filled Jiang Hao with excitement.
“Yes!”
With the sound of the system’s alert, the boxing manual in Jiang Hao’s hands vanished.
