Chapter 234 Chapter 234 Socially anxious father 11
Zhuozhuo ran against the wind, jumping up and down, and accidentally got a breath of cold wind, starting to cough.
Zhong Qing thought calmly, "Look, what game could be this realistic?" He knelt down, hugged her, patted her back, gave her a few sips of hot water, and put a protective shield on her. After applying it, Zhong Qing looked at his hand, and a strange thought occurred to him.
If this world is real, are these magical skills real too?
The skill books in "Datong" are like the legendary martial arts secrets, which record in detail how to absorb elemental power, practice, spells, body movements, etc., which can be said to teach you step by step from zero basis to the ceiling of martial arts. The same is true for other skills in refining equipment, medicine, talismans, etc.
At the beginning, many players followed suit and practiced in real life, but there was no effect, and gradually the popularity of the skill book declined.
But what if it’s not that the skill book has no effect, but that there is no elemental power in reality and the raw materials for various refining equipment and medicines do not meet the requirements, so the players have not achieved any results?
Zhong Qing wanted to try and see if he could actually learn the skills by practicing them with the skill book instead of just being crammed by the game system.
Acting on his thought, Zhong Qing finished his daily routine incognito. He persuaded Zhuozhuo to return home, offering her fruit and snacks, releasing a silver python to play with her, and asking her to give him some privacy. After calming Zhuozhuo down, Zhong Qing dug out a book on basic magic skills, "Water Condensation," and began meditating on the water element according to the instructions.
A moment later, Zhong Qing noticed a strange image in his mind. All around him was pitch black, with only colorful dots of light floating around. He tried to capture them, but found that black and white dots were impossible to capture. While he could absorb yellow, red, blue, green, and gold dots, he could absorb only blue dots, which were most readily attracted to him.
With many years of experience in reading online novels and combining it with the settings in "Datong", Zhong Qing felt that these five colored light spots should be the elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, while black and white correspond to the elements of darkness and light, and he himself should be of the water element.
Zhong Qing ignored the other colors and focused on absorbing the blue light, stopping only when his dantian was completely full. He opened his eyes and saw Zhuozhuo sprawled out on the carpet, surrounded by a pile of fruit peels, bones, and a half-empty glass of soda. The Silver Python, on the other hand, lay slumped against the ground, seemingly exhausted.
After carrying Zhuozhuo to bed, Zhong Qing fed the Silver Python some high-level monster meat and put it away to rest. He picked up some food to replenish his energy and began to try the Water Condensation Technique as instructed in the skill book. Whether it was Zhong Qing's innate talent or the Water Condensation Technique's ridiculous simplicity, he succeeded in one try, consuming one-fifth of the water element in his dantian.
Zhong Qing unleashed the Water Condensation Technique five times in a row, emptying his Dantian. He discovered that the skills he had learned had no cooldown and no mana consumption. Furthermore, the more proficient he became, the greater the effect and the less mana consumed. Wasn't this like being able to do the work of two people in a fight? Encouraged, Zhong Qing sought out the Water Arrow Technique and began a new round of practice.
Zhuozhuo woke up and found that she had wet the bed. She pouted and was about to cry. 9972 said: "Baby, you can change clothes with one click now. Do you want to try it? Look at the character panel..."
Zhuozhuo remembered that when she was herding cattle, she had changed her clothes under the guidance of 9972 and Zhong Qing. She stopped crying and put on the Dunhuang-style chest-length dress.
[The sheets are in the warehouse and the cabinet. If it's hard for you to change them yourself, I'll buy you one in the game store and you can change them with just one click.]
"Okay."
After cleaning up the traces of bedwetting, Zhuozhuo climbed out of bed and walked out. Seeing Zhong Qing still sitting in meditation in the living room, she subconsciously wanted to pounce on him, but she stopped when she remembered Zhong Qing's instructions. She walked around him and sat down on the ground.
"Tongtong, what is Dad doing?"
[Baby, Zhong Qing is practicing, so don't call him. But he's almost waking up.]
"What is cultivation?"
Zhuozhuo stared at Zhong Qing curiously. As she watched, she vaguely felt something drilling into Zhong Qing's body. She was shocked and tried hard to see what it was, but even after staring so hard that her eyes were sore, she still couldn't see it. Zhuozhuo rubbed her eyes and suddenly "saw" points of light of various colors floating around! She subconsciously opened her eyes, but she could see nothing again.
Zhuozhuo quickly closed her eyes again and saw the dense dots of light again. This time, she observed patiently and found that it was Zhong Qing who was actively grabbing the small dots of light into his body. She said curiously, "Dad, are you hungry?"
Zhong Qing was absorbed in meditation when a soft, sweet child's voice suddenly exploded in his mind. He felt a buzzing in his brain, and his entire being went blank for three seconds. After recovering, Zhong Qing, untrained, cast a protective shield over his soul. He opened his eyes and looked at Zhuozhuo. Seeing her appearance was different from before she fell asleep, he realized, perhaps with a father's intuition, that she had wet the bed.
Without being able to point it out, Zhong Qing rubbed Zhuozhuo's furry little head and asked with a smile: "How long have you been awake?"
"I don't know. Zhuozhuo is awake and here, looking at Daddy." Zhuozhuo said, his eyes still glued to Zhong Qing. "Dad, you've eaten so much light, why aren't you glowing?"
Zhong Qing raised an eyebrow, "Zhuozhuo, just now, you closed your eyes, saw the colorful dots of light, and then asked me if I was hungry?"
"Yes."
Zhong Qing was surprised, feeling that Zhuozhuo's talent must be superior to his. He explained the training plan to Zhuozhuo in detail and even took out the five basic magic skill books, wanting Zhuozhuo to try it. After looking through the skill books, Zhong Qing realized that the introductory meditation was the same. He put the skill books away and encouraged him, "Zhuozhuo, close your eyes again and see which color of light is easiest to catch."
Zhong Qing suddenly remembered that when he was doing a side quest before, it mentioned that "there is a spirit-testing stone in the City Lord's Mansion of Wangyue City". This spirit-testing stone should be a prop that can identify what elements a person is friendly to.
However, there was only one in the City Lord's Mansion. Isn't this a bit too low of a penetration rate? This also meant that in this magical world, the threshold for practicing magic was very high. If he ever got the formula for refining the Spirit Test Stone, he would definitely refine 108,000 of them, so that everyone in the magical world could have one.
Zhong Qing, slightly confused, paid close attention to Zhuozhuo's condition and noticed her eyelids twitching, almost unable to close their eyes. Zhong Qing guided Zhuozhuo's thinking, trying to calm her mind. "Zhuozhuo, think about how you saw those light spots just now. What colors are they? Are they the same size?"
Zhuozhuo followed Zhong Qing's words and began to recall. Finally, she sat firmly. Almost as soon as her thoughts shifted, she found countless colorful light spots appearing around her. When she touched them, the light spots "whoosh" drilled into her body. Zhuozhuo tried to look inside her body, trying to figure out where the light spots went. She saw the meridians, bones, spiritual platform, and dantian.
Of course Zhuozhuo didn’t know what these things were called, she just felt that her body was so lively and there were so many roads!
Watching the dots of light enter from all parts of the body, following winding paths of varying sizes to reach the stomach, is exactly what a three-year-old child finds most fascinating. Zhuozhuo caught all the dots of light, watched them run, and cheered them on until she felt her stomach was full and could no longer hold any more.
"dad!"
Zhuozhuo felt refreshed and energetic, and couldn't wait to share the light spot race with Zhong Qing. He talked a lot, and the main idea was "Meditation is really fun, I want to try it again next time."
Zhong Qing asked for more details, confirming that Zhuozhuo could absorb the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, as well as the elements of light and darkness. Her absorption speed was several times faster than his, and her dantian capacity was also several times higher. What a genius! He took out a skill book and wanted Zhuozhuo to practice, but Zhuozhuo was so full of energy that she felt like she could fly. She waved her little hand and said, "Dad, let's go play a dungeon!"
Zhong Qing: "Aren't you hungry?"
"I'm so full, I can eat more!"
Zhong Qing laughed. Considering that Zhuozhuo had eaten too many snacks at noon, he bought her a bowl of pumpkin porridge. After finishing the porridge, the two set out to the dungeon they had chosen. Before they had gone far, they were stopped by someone and asked if they were "Love Seed" and "Zhuozhuo".
Zhong Qing was caught off guard and faced the man face to face. He was so nervous that he couldn't speak for a moment. Zhuozhuo said calmly, "Yes, uncle, you are looking for us. What's going on?"
The other party was unconvinced, "Did you really bring out the hidden passion in Andrew?"
"Yes, yes." Zhuozhu nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice.
The other party: "Liar! A love-sick person like Zhuozhuo runs away when he sees anyone. How could he be as eager to admit it as you? He didn't even dare to reveal the name of the game. Are you trying to get traffic? You can't fool me!"
Zhuozhuo was filled with questions as he watched the other man walk towards another father and daughter. After seeing their appearance clearly, Zhuozhuo was shocked and pulled Zhong Qing's hand to let him see, "Dad, he looks like you, and she looks like Zhuozhuo!"
"I saw it." Zhong Qing was also shocked. He browsed the forum and said solemnly, "Zhuozhuo, there are many people imitating us."
During the cattle-herding mission in the morning, a player quickly took a screenshot, revealing the appearance of "Qingzhong" and "Zhuozhuo". Since the holographic device allows players to pinch their faces when logging into the game for the first time, many people followed suit and pinched their faces to look like them.
Zhong Qing skipped the face-shaping process that morning because Zhuo Zhuo urged him to do so, and logged in with his real appearance. He is now worried that the players' enthusiasm for hidden objects will affect the three-dimensional world.
There has to be something to divert the players' attention.
Zhong Qing squeezed Zhuozhuo's little hand and had an idea.
In order to avoid being exposed, Zhong Qing did not even post anonymously on the forum, but instead created two small loudspeakers in the world.
Lover: Andrew copy hidden triggering conditions: affinity is full.
Lover: Use holographic equipment to log in and practice according to the skill book.
