[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the novice task! Checking task completion rate…]
The next second.
Facing off against a snake, hunting wild rabbits, snatching food from a bear’s mouth…
Bi Fang stood in the rapidly changing light, watching scenes flash by like frames in an out-of-control movie projector.
Emptiness, loneliness, fear, joy—all these emotions piled up in seconds, then erupted like a volcano.
An unprecedented mixture of sorrow and joy spread throughout him; he stood there dumbfounded, as if he could hear the whole world shouting in his ears.
Not until the images finished playing did the system’s electronic voice ring out again.
In an instant, Bi Fang’s mind cleared. He looked up at the sun and silently smiled.
The fatigue of the journey suddenly dissipated by a large extent, as if he had crossed the ocean and finally sighted land.
[Ding! Check complete.]
[Main missions one and two complete, side mission Snatching Food from a Bear’s Mouth complete, total time 4d, reward bonus 40%]
Seeing the final reward bonus, Bi Fang knew his efforts were not in vain, and that there indeed were rewards for completing missions ahead of schedule!
To get better rewards, he must give it his all!
Adding onto the previous novice task reward promotions, his gains this time were sure to be extraordinarily rich!
[Detected novice task with reward promotions, your final rewards are: Skill Upgrade Coupon*i, Skill Can*2, Enhancement Points*6, Wilderness
Points* 1200]
[Ding! Novice task complete, system permanently activated. Shopping and skill tree functions unlocked.]
Shop?
Skill tree?
A series of system notification sounds left Bi Fang momentarily confused, and he quickly opened the system panel and scrolled down.
[Sole Binder: Bi Fang]
[Age: 24]
[Height: 183.1cm]
[Weight: 67KG]
[Strength: 8]
[Physique: 8]
[Agility: 8]
[Spirit: 9]
[Status: Fatigued]
[Enhancement Points: 6]
[Wilderness Points: 1200]
The original skill bar had disappeared, replaced by a glowing blue tree. The once isolated skills were now branches on this tree, with the thickest one being the Purple Advanced Yoga.
Bi Fang touched the tree with his mind, and information about it flooded into his brain. He closed his eyes to digest the information for a moment before he roughly understood the function of the skill tree.
In simple terms, it meant a tighter connection between skills, allowing for more integrated utilization.
Take the Wilderness Survival Skill, for instance; it already includes knowledge like First Aid and Swimming, but the coverage definitely isn’t as extensive as that of the individual First Aid or Swimming skills.
On the flip side, the individual skills lack the specificity of the Wilderness Survivalist Skill. For example, suturing a wound in First Aid—what use is that in the wild with no thread to suture with? So the specificity falls short.
The function of the skill tree is to allow these skills to interlink, influence each other, enhance applicability, and even promote mutual growth like a tree.
Further down, there’s a simple ten-tiered counter and a lucky draw wheel, which must be the so-called shop, mainly for purchasing and lottery drawing.
Bi Fang quickly scanned the shop, where each shelf had an item: Progenitor Bird Charge Clothes, Mammoth Mountain Boots, Calisthenics (Green) Level 3…
There were skills and equipment, with purchases using Wilderness Points and refresh every 5 days.
There was also lottery drawing, a single draw for 50, ten draws for 480, but whether there’s a guaranteed drop for ten draws wasn’t apparent at the moment.
However, this ten draws for 480…
Bi Fang’s eyes twitched at the corner. He had this uncanny feeling that something was amiss, a sense of deja vu from being fleeced by game vendors!
He shook his head, banishing the absurd thought from his mind and turned his attention back to the system rewards.
Enhancement Points, used to improve one’s four-dimensional attributes, are the most tangible and realistic rewards. Six points could nearly lift Bi Fang’s physical condition to a significantly higher level.
Of course, this improvement isn’t endless. The further one goes, the lower the cost-effectiveness. Otherwise, if one became a superhuman, what wilderness survival would that be?
If it were so, Bi Fang could have knocked that Black Bear out cold with a single punch.
But even so, the fact that enhancement points are a good thing can’t be denied!
Bi Fang looked at his “feeble” stats and didn’t rush to allocate points. After all, he was still standing outside—who knew what surprises might arise after adding points?
Similarly, the remaining rewards could wait to be checked once he was back home.
With that in mind, Bi Fang, standing at the crossroads, gazed at the unfamiliar small town and eventually abandoned the idea of a day job as a dish washer. He decided to seek help from the police first.
When in trouble, go to the police—everyone agrees that’s the best call.
In the hotel room, after taking a good bath, Bi Fang poured himself a glass of water and reopened the system panel.
Although he had found a police officer, the train tickets to Xicheng City were sold out, so he had to make do with staying in the hotel for one night and depart the next day.
Instead of adding points first, Bi Fang decided to advance his Wilderness Survival skill, as that was his profession, and it needed to be prioritized for upgrading.
The coupon turned it into golden powder.
In an instant, more comprehensive outdoor wilderness knowledge and more tracking, hunting experience, and trap-making techniques popped into his mind.
Such a bargain!
After a while, once he had digested the information, Bi Fang praised inwardly. The difference between blue and purple skills was simply too great. He felt that if he had possessed the purple Wilderness Survival Skill before going to Qinling, he wouldn’t have been as ragged.
Bi Fang, feeling mentally enriched, looked at the six enhancement points with great anticipation.
Six points—a considerable sum—but definitely not to be used carelessly. They needed to be allocated with purpose. So, which one should he choose?
The four basic attributes—strength, physique, agility, spirit—might seem simple, yet each had a wide-ranging impact.
Strength wasn’t just about arm strength or bench presses but a combination of muscle density and mitochondrial energy provision.
Physique covered stamina, constitution, and physical robustness, with potential life-extending benefits if increased significantly.
Agility included limb explosiveness and dynamic vision.
Spirit involved coordination, sixth sense, and nerve reflexes.
The four basic attributes complemented and overlapped each other, and none could be overlooked.
After much thought, Bi Fang added 3 points to physique, 2 to spirit, and 1 to agility.
Physique strengthened his survival capabilities, making him less prone to sickness or weakness. Spirit and agility could play a critical role during dangerous moments. As for strength, it wasn’t that it wasn’t important, but rather it didn’t offer a good return on investment.
How could his strength ever match that of a bear?
Against the beasts of nature, being a warrior or a tank was impractical. It would be better to be an assassin, agile and hunting on the move.
Moreover, strength, compared to the other attributes, was easier to train. Using enhancement points on it just wasn’t cost-effective.
After allocating the points, Bi Fang didn’t experience the bone-cracking and power-surge often written in novels. Instead, he soon felt his eyelids grow heavy, and his body warmed up. He turned off the light and fell straight into sleep.
This sleep lasted straight through to the next morning!
When Bi Fang opened his eyes again, the world seemed new!
Each breath carried an exhilarating sensation!
The blisters on his palms, the soreness in his shoulder blades—all disappeared. Even his skin seemed to have become somewhat smoother.
Well done, System!
Bi Fang swung his arms and felt much lighter throughout his body. The effects were immediate and remarkable!
Especially the fact that he could improve without any exercise was downright addictive. There’s nothing more worry-free and satisfying than getting stronger overnight!
Bi Fang, feeling refreshed in both body and mind, turned his attention to the remaining two skill cans.
The previous three cans had revealed quite a few treasures. What surprises would these two bring?
Thinking this, Bi Fang could hardly wait.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host on obtaining a green skill—Field Army Level 5, and a blue skill—Pilates Level 3!]
Pilates?
After seeing Field Army, Bi Fang was just about to rejoice when he saw Pilates and was momentarily taken aback.
This felt oddly familiar…
He knew Pilates was a full-body conditioning exercise.
It primarily focused on strengthening the body’s deep muscle groups to maintain and improve one’s posture during normal activities, emphasizing control over the body and breath cultivation.
But the problem was, it seemed somewhat similar to yoga…
Bi Fang felt a headache coming on. He didn’t believe the skills drawn from the system were random. What exactly was this system trying to shape him into?
A Qigong Master?
