Finally, he made it through. He looked at the system time and saw that only half an hour had passed, but Chen Mo felt like several days and nights had passed.

"Is this the legendary cleansing of the meridians and marrow?"

Suddenly, I smelled a foul odor coming from my body. I took a quick look and saw a thick layer of black grease on my body surface.

Also, my stomach is rumbling and I need to go to the toilet.

After going to the toilet, I took a shower in the water tank in the yard and felt refreshed.

"Luckily, I needed to collect drinking water this morning, so I went to the river and fetched two buckets of water to fill the water tank. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to take a shower."

In this state, he didn't dare go out to bathe in the river.

"Also, although my body has been digitized, my essence hasn't changed. I'm still the same mortal body. What's going on?"

Through this practice of adding points and cleansing the meridians and marrow, Chen Mo realized that his body was still the body of the original "Chen Mo".

However, it was digitized by the system, and it could also recover injuries and vitality in a safe state, with no vital parts or disabilities on the body?!

What is going on?

When asked about this, the system refused to give any explanation, saying that Chen Mo did not have enough authority.

So Chen Mo could only analyze based on the little information he had.

"Attributes are divided into six dimensions, and into two categories: body and soul. In other words, the two are separate!"

The system must have separated the two with supreme power and strengthened the body, giving it powerful self-healing abilities?!

That's not right. If it has such strong self-healing ability, why does it work in a safe state but not in combat?

"There's still too little information. Moreover, without cultivation, without possessing extraordinary powers, and without being a Transcendent, it's impossible to understand the mysteries. You can only grope in the dark and speculate wildly."

Chen Mo gave up on further exploring this issue. He just wanted to know how to use it. Just like mobile phones and computers, if you use them, do you also need to know their principles and how they are manufactured?

I glanced at the upper left corner and saw that the experience value had become 35.

Looking at the taskbar, another task appeared.

"First time upgrading skills."

"Background: Skills are essential to a person's strength. Familiarity with the system's skill-leveling techniques can comprehensively enhance the host's strength. In a time of demonic invasions and increasingly dangerous otherworldly situations, their importance is self-evident.

Name: First skill upgrade.

Content: Upgrade tasks and each skill level.

Reward: 10 experience points."

"Y/N accept?"

"accept."

"First, combat and gathering, the two most core and commonly used things in the game. Then, refining, adding attribute points, and now it's skill upgrades. It's indeed a guide mission."

Especially the first three words in the task name clearly explain the characteristics of these tasks.

"The introductory mission is the simplest one. Besides helping you get familiar with the game and its controls, it's essentially a disguised gift package for new players."

Click on the skill bar and see the five skills inside.

The first two system skills cannot be upgraded.

The last three are acquired skills, which can be upgraded if you haven’t reached the Grandmaster level.

Each of the three skills has a green arrow next to it. After the arrow is a question mark. Clicking on the question mark will explain how much experience points are required to level up.

"Iron Will, a two-star skill. To upgrade from apprentice to professional level, 20 experience points are required."

"Military Combat (Zu Xing), one-star skill. Expert to Grandmaster upgrade. Requires 8 experience points."

"[Shooting] (Universal), a one-star skill. Upgrading from Expert to Grandmaster requires 8 experience points."

Chen Mo's habitual analysis

"The experience points consumed are very regular. Different stars and different levels consume different experience points when upgrading. Even for the same star level and the same level of skills, the experience points consumed are the same."

After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Mo was the first to rule out "Iron Will". His willpower had already reached 10 points, which was the highest and did not need to be improved any further.

The career of a special forces soldier made Chen Mo more aware of the importance of the wooden barrel theory.

“Those who live long are often not those who excel in any one area, but those who have average abilities but no weaknesses.”

Of course, this is a single-player battle, which is suitable for the current "single-player game" mode.

If you are working as a team, each person needs to have their own strengths and weaknesses, and you can use the power of the team to make up for your own shortcomings.

In fact, the team is also suitable for the barrel theory. You just need to think of the entire team as a barrel, and each team member as a piece of wood.

The second thing I ruled out was "shooting." The reason? Because I didn't have a bow, darts, or firearms... Upgrading wouldn't have a direct impact on my strength.

"The only thing left is 'military combat techniques'."

This is a comprehensive skill that integrates all the fighting techniques Chen Mo learned during his military career.

Chen Mo clicked the green arrow at the back.

"Upgrading skills - Military Combat (Zuxing), from Expert to Grandmaster, consumes 8 experience points."

In an instant, Chen Mo felt that the world had stopped, and then he began to practice military boxing over and over again, as if he was possessed. He was focused, without eating or drinking, with unlimited physical strength and never resting. He practiced military boxing over and over again with vigorous energy, and gradually integrated various fighting techniques learned from the army into military boxing.

As if assisted by God, he mastered the techniques and integrated them into one. Countless training sessions formed a deep body memory. Every move, every action, every movement and every stillness was done at will, which was wonderful.
