Chapter 1 Self-degradation
"After the extra-dimensional storm several decades ago, a large number of extra-dimensional realms appeared all over the world. Gods, immortals, ghosts, monsters, angels, demons, elves and many other legendary extra-dimensional creatures were discovered. Humans acquired their abilities by hunting extra-dimensional creatures..." Yu Qiubai, whose hair was already gray, kept looking at the corner of the last row of the classroom while giving a lecture.
The other students were listening attentively to the lecture, but the boy in the corner was sleeping soundly on the table with his textbook in front of him. Occasionally, a light snoring sound could be heard.
Yu Qiubai shook his head imperceptibly, sighing inwardly, "What good is talent? If he can't withstand even the slightest setback, how can he possibly achieve anything great? While that failure was certainly a significant blow, he truly doesn't deserve the old principal's praise for never recovering from this setback."
Yu Qiubai recalled what the old principal had said to him before he retired. Then he looked at the boy who was sleeping soundly on the table with saliva hanging from the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh again.
"Qiu Bai, I have seen many geniuses in my life. To sum up, there are two types of geniuses." The old principal's eyes were bright at that time.
"Which two?" Yu Qiubai asked curiously at the time.
"One kind of genius is called Zhou Wen, and the other kind is other geniuses."
Yu Qiubai was deeply impressed by the old principal's words at that time. However, the student who was praised so highly by the old principal has now degenerated into a decadent person who has no ambition, only sleeps in class every day, and plays games on his mobile phone after class.
Yu Qiubai also tried to inspire Zhou Wen's ambition and cheer him up, but after several conversations, Zhou Wen remained the same. He slept in class, played games after class, and no longer practiced hard. It seemed that he had completely lost his enterprising spirit.
"Ring ring!"
As the bell rang, Yu Qiubai saw Zhou Wen, who had been sleeping on the table. He suddenly sat up straight with energy, grabbed his phone, and rushed out of the classroom without looking back. He couldn't help but feel more disappointed and sighed to himself, "Old Principal, I've tried my best, but Zhou Wen is a hopeless case."
Zhou Wen jogged all the way and quickly left the teaching building and came to a secluded corner in the school.
Zhou Wen knew that the teachers and other students in the school looked at him strangely, but he didn't take it to heart at all.
Others just thought that Zhou Wen couldn't bear the blow of failure, so he gave up on himself and fell into depravity. However, Zhou Wen himself knew very well that he had never taken that failure to heart. The reason why he was so "self-degrading" was something that others could not understand and he could not explain.
After unlocking his phone screen, Zhou Wen skillfully clicked on a game program called "Ant Nest". Soon, the screen of his phone turned into the dark interior of an ant nest. In the winding passages, there were many black ants crawling around.
After looking around and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Zhou Wen pricked his finger with a needle and dripped a drop of blood onto the screen of his mobile phone.
The next second, a strange scene appeared. Zhou Wen's drop of blood actually penetrated the mobile phone screen and condensed into a bloody little man in the game screen of the ant nest. There was also information next to the bloody little man.
Zhou Wen: 16 years old.
Life level: mortal.
Strength: 9.
Speed:5.
Physical fitness: 8.
Vitality: 4.
The Secret of Vitality: "Bitter Zen".
Energy skills: None.
Vitality pet: None.
Since the dimensional storm, various extra-dimensional life forms have appeared, which can be roughly divided into four levels: mortal, legendary, epic, and mythical. The human life level is the lowest level of mortal. By practicing the Yuan Qi Jue, one can enhance one's physical fitness and evolve one's life level.
However, simply practicing the Yuan Qi Jue to polish oneself will result in a very slow evolution. Hunting alien creatures and plundering their dimensional crystals for one's own use can speed up evolution.
However, the places where creatures from other dimensions live are extremely dangerous. Except for some areas that have been explored by humans, entering other areas is almost a life-or-death experience. Not everyone is willing to risk their lives.
Moreover, the Earth Federation has clear regulations that minors are not allowed to enter other-dimensional areas.
The "Bitter Zen" that Zhou Wen practiced is a kind of Qi technique. It relies purely on hard work to cultivate Qi without relying on any external force.
In the Federation, there are many geniuses who can cultivate vital energy at the age of sixteen, but like Zhou Wen, there are not many people in the entire Earth Federation who can cultivate vital energy without relying on any external force and only practice "Bitter Zen" to polish their own bodies. In a small city like Guide Prefecture, he is the only one in history.
At that time, all the teachers and classmates in Guide High School believed that Zhou Wen would achieve great things in the future. But who knew that not long after that, a transfer student came to Guidefu High School and challenged Zhou Wen. She defeated Zhou Wen with just one move, and that student was a girl.
It was after that that Zhou Wen stopped practicing diligently and became "self-degrading". Others thought that Zhou Wen was mentally fragile and could not withstand setbacks and blows, but only Zhou Wen himself knew that his change had nothing to do with that failure, but was entirely due to the mysterious mobile phone in his hand.
Zhou Wen looked down at his phone, constantly controlling the blood-colored figure in the phone to kill the black ants in the ant nest.
“Kill the mortal creatures, the mighty ants… Kill the mortal creatures, the mighty ants… Kill the mortal creatures, the mighty ants…”
Every time Zhou Wen killed an ant, a prompt would pop up on the screen, with rows of prompts flashing quickly.
"bite!"
I don’t know how many powerful ants I killed, but suddenly I heard a clear sound, and then a somewhat special line of prompts popped up on the screen: Kill the mortal powerful ants and find the vitality crystal.
Zhou Wen looked intently and saw that after a powerful ant was killed, a crystal clear crystal like a diamond exploded. On the top of the crystal was the number 5.
Zhou Wen was delighted and quickly controlled the bloody man to pick up the vitality crystal. When the vitality crystal touched the bloody man's fingers, it immediately turned into a strange breath and penetrated into the bloody man's body.
Almost at the same time, Zhou Wen also felt a force coming from the mobile phone into his body, like an electric shock or thunder, which quickly replenished the vitality in his body.
The vitality column on the bloody man's information also changed the vitality value from 4 points to 5 points.
After an extra-dimensional creature is killed, there is a certain chance that it will drop various crystals. The most common ones are strength, speed, physique and vitality.
Using power crystals can enhance human strength, using speed crystals can enhance speed, and other crystals have similar effects.
However, in reality, crystals do not display numbers, and humans cannot see their own attribute values. After using power crystals, they only know that their strength has increased, but they don't know how much it has increased.
The mysterious mobile phone in Zhou Wen's hand not only allows him to obtain dimensional crystals in the game that others need to risk their lives in the other dimension, but also allows him to clearly see the values of himself, other-dimensional creatures, and dimensional crystals.
