At the end of October, even in Lianjiang, which is located in the southern part of Xuan Country and has only summer, summer, summer and winter, it finally became cool due to the continuous cold air and drizzle.

Ren Suo stood on the balcony, looking at the students in the distance who were going to the teaching building for class. They were all wearing jackets and windbreakers, while he was still wearing beach pants and short sleeves. He thought that this was the first benefit of being a third-level monk: keeping warm.

For a third-turn monk, his physical fitness and adaptability are further enhanced. Although he still needs air conditioning to maintain life in the summer, he no longer needs external items such as long underwear to keep warm in the winter. He will not catch a cold even if he runs naked in a pair of underwear.

Ren Suo's mind moved, and he stretched out his hand to the balcony. The drizzle fell on Ren Suo's hand, and naturally melted and flowed down. However, when Ren Suo withdrew his hand, there was no trace of water on it.

After being promoted to the third level, in addition to the significant increase in the amount of cyclone spiritual energy, as Dong Chengling and Bai Ji said, the spell "Gauze Clothes" that Ren Suo was proficient in has now become his "permanent memory spell".

Ren Suo had already gone through arduous training (rolling in the hills behind the academy for a long time) and finally mastered the "gauze robe", but this mastery was only equivalent to a proficiency of 60%~80%. He needed a little time to activate the spell meridians, and then cover his entire body with the gauze robe according to the physical reactions trained by practice makes perfect.

And now, the proficiency of "Gauze Clothes" is almost 100%, which is equivalent to Ren Suo equipping this ability through the game console without any extra thoughts. "Gauze Clothes" has become his innate ability. As long as he thinks about it, his body will be covered with gauze clothes.

He could feel that when he cast "Gauze Clothes", the two-ring cyclone was really the first to be driven, which meant that Bai Ji and his colleagues' theory was correct and the two-ring cyclone had already memorized the spell "Gauze Clothes".

After being promoted to a third-turn monk, Ren Suo's cyclone suddenly changed into an inner cyclone - a two-ring cyclone - a three-ring cyclone - an outer cyclone. The three-ring cyclone was newly appeared, with the least amount of spiritual energy. The inner cyclone expanded another circle, with the largest amount of spiritual energy. The two-ring cyclone was between the three-ring and the inner cyclone.

However, the inner cyclone is like a constantly flowing lake, the outer cyclone is a wasteland in the suburbs, the third-ring cyclone is a newly planned municipal land, and only the second-ring cyclone has built a house called "Sha Yi" that can be put into use directly.

Even Ren Suo could feel the mystery of the cyclone at this time. It was like playing "SimCity". He liked it very much.

Now he can naturally engrave the spells into the cyclone through practice. If his control over the cyclone is strengthened in the future, will he be able to really engrave the necessary spell meridians into the cyclone as he wishes, just like playing SimCity?

The Industrial Party used all their infrastructure spells, put their hands together and clapped them on the ground, and it became a strong city; the Artillery Party used all their destruction spells, and with a wave of their hands, fireballs washed the ground and turned into humanoid weapons...

At this moment, Ren Suo suddenly understood Dong Chengling's mood. He really wanted to know how magnificent and interesting the scenery on the next level was.

As for the rest, there was no change. He had already spent all his spirit stones in order to buy "Xuan Jun Secret Records Chapter 2" and several third-turn spells. Now he had no money to buy new third-turn spells. He could only wait until next month's salary was paid before he could consider shopping. He also didn't know whether there would be discounts on the intranet on Double 11.

Oh, and there is one very crucial change.

Ren Suo turned his head and saw his clone coming out to collect the clothes. He sighed slightly. He had become stronger, and the duration of his clone had also become shorter.

And the time saved is quite a lot, a full ten minutes. The schedule instantly became tight. The socks that should have been thrown into the washing machine separately to be washed now have to be washed by hand by my clone due to lack of time.

Ren Suozhen was worried that he would rub it too hard and tear it.

Thinking like this, Ren Suo suddenly had an idea. He turned on the Small World game console, clicked on the "Equipment Interface" and quietly changed himself into the "Listening Headphones", then put on the 1000xm3 at home. He naturally wouldn't wear headphones stupidly if he had nothing to do.

After a brief mental activity, the "listening headphones" sounded the system's explanation:

"When casting 'Struggle Warrior (Remnant)', you can set the minimum existence time of the clone through psychological activities.

When the minimum existence time is greater than the existence time of the clone, the clone's strength will decrease, thereby extending its existence time.

When the minimum existence time is less than the existence time of the clone, the clone's strength will not change, but its existence time will be reduced. "

"Oh huh." Ren Suo cheered softly.

Now the clone can exist for about an hour and ten minutes. When Ren Suo summons a clone, he hopes that the clone will exist for two hours. Then the strength of the summoned clone will be reduced to the second level or even lower, but the existence time can be extended to two hours.

Simply put, it means exchanging strength for time.

The ability "Struggle Warrior (Incomplete)" itself does not have this function. Its complete version can control the strength of the clones by increasing or decreasing the number of clones.

However, the incomplete version can only summon one clone, so the game console naturally defaults to the player summoning the strongest clone (that is, one with the complete strength of the original body). After all, in battle, a slight difference may overturn the entire situation, so the clone must be as strong as possible.

How could it have imagined that someone summoned a clone not for fighting, but even wanted to use the clone's strength to exchange for duration...

But players have such a request, and there is a tool called "listening headphones", so the game console has to reluctantly provide a solution.

"Why do you need strength to do housework?" Ren Suo instantly planned the future plan for summoning clones: "When doing housework at home, just let the clone become an ordinary person. Why do you need to be so strong? Do you want to sweep the floor and break the broom? Do you want to buy oranges at the campus supermarket and get a 20% discount?"

Ren Suo had already made up his mind: when he was going to the combat training ground or the school hospital for duty, he would dress up his clone beautifully and go into battle in full condition;

Normally, if he didn't need to go out, he would let his clone wear a dirt-resistant koala onesie (even Ren Suo couldn't stand a person who looked exactly like him running around naked at home), and it would be enough for him to have enough physical strength to support the cleaning. He would extend the duration of the clone as much as possible and squeeze out the last bit of his working time.

It is like this both in the living room and in the kitchen.

Having solved the pressing issue, Ren Suo heaved a sigh of relief and began to inform everyone of his promotion.

The first call was Dong Chengling, but Dong Chengling didn't answer the phone, so Ren Suo had to send her a message first saying that Dong Chengling was very busy. Since she didn't answer the phone, it meant that she had something to do. Ren Suo, who was sensible, naturally wouldn't disturb her.

Then it was Qiao Muyi. Ren Suo directly posted a message to her on WeChat Moments and @ her, "I woke up and my head was spinning. I'm totally confused."

However, five people immediately commented on this circle of friends:

Xiao Qiao (Qiao Muyi): Who isn’t?

Rippling Rain (by Yu Kuang): Who isn’t?

Your great king (You Jian): I am not. Come on, Master. Stay strong!

Director Li (mom): Did you turn over three times while sleeping? Look at my circle of friends three days ago. You should drink more hot water and eat less fried food.

I wish to win the heart of one person·Mathematics teacher of Baiyun No. 4 Middle School (father): I have read it.

Ren Suo: “…”

After being promoted to the third level, it seems... there is nothing to be happy about.

But the notification was still necessary, so Ren Suo called his sister and said, "I've been promoted to the third rank!"

"Really? Then let's celebrate today!" Ren Xingmei replied happily.

Just when Ren Suo finally felt a little relieved, Ren Xingmei said again: "By the way, brother, I got first place in the monthly exam, and my training progress is second only to the class monitor who started training a few months earlier. I have completely mastered the "clothes". Teacher Bai thinks that I learn very quickly and plans to let me try to learn the second-level spells... Brother, am I awesome?"

Ren Suo curled his lips and said, "Great, great. Let's celebrate together."

He then remembered that Ren Xingmei's bond ability was "One Day, One Thousand Miles". This ability was purely passive and had no effect at the beginning. But as long as Ren Xingmei started practicing, she would absorb knowledge like a sponge, and as time went by, this ability would help her more and more...

In the foreseeable future, Ren Suo has already predicted that he will be surpassed by his sister in all aspects...

"Hmm? Did Brother Ren get promoted to the third rank?"

"What? He's already been promoted before I've even been promoted to the second rank!?"

"Congratulations."

There was a chaotic discussion going on over there from Ren Xingmei's side, and then Ren Suo heard a loud voice: "Ren Xingmei, come up and solve this first-order linear homogeneous equation."

"Yes!" Ren Xingmei agreed without fear, and then immediately whispered: "Brother, I'm hanging up now. See you at noon."

Yes, it’s class time now.

Ren Suo edited the message and sent it to the group, and soon received replies from everyone:

Li Dan: "Congratulations, I'm almost there too."

Bai Ji: "Congratulations, but it may take some time to adapt to the third level. However, through sparring and fighting, perhaps you can get better accustomed to the third level cyclone."

Others also congratulated him, and some people who hadn't been in contact for tens of thousands of years even chatted with him privately to build relationships. Although Ren Suo knew many third-turn cultivators, in fact, most of the people in the Countermeasures Bureau system were first-turn cultivators and second-turn cultivators. Most of the people he met at the civil servant training camp were still at the first-turn cultivation level.

Many people did not expect that Ren Suo, who had almost the worst aptitude in the beginning, is now doing the best. Not only does he live a carefree life every day in Tianlian Academy, but his cultivation has even caught up with the first echelon.

Everyone came to ask Ren Suo about the secret of cultivation, and Ren Suo even posted a message on WeChat Moments: "There is no shortcut to cultivation. When you sleep, I cultivate, and when you are in a daze, I also cultivate. That is why I can barely keep up with the pace of geniuses. I only hope to reach new heights and look into the future.

Only those who make full use of their time are qualified to touch their ideals. "

Then he @ed everyone who had private messaged him.

And then... no one liked it.

Ren Suo estimated that he might have harvested a lot of negative emotions again, but this way, no one bothered him anymore.

But Zhao Huo suddenly said: "Congratulations, I want to give you a gift."

Ren Suo didn't expect that Zhao Huo, who looked like a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually understood the ways of the world and knew to give gifts!

He replied happily: "No need to spend so much money, I think a seafood buffet will be enough.

Haven’t eaten it for days, miss it.”

After spending hundreds of dollars per person on several seafood buffets at Zhao Huo's expense, Ren Suo became a little addicted to it.

At this moment, Ren Suo suddenly received a message from Dong Chengling: "Congratulations. Lunch party cancelled."

Why?

It seems that Dong Chengling is very busy today and even lunch has been cancelled.

Ren Suo estimated the time, looked at the rainy campus, and ordered in the mind link: "Put away your clothes and switch to your true self state. Go to the cafeteria to pack me a spicy crab meal. If there is no meal, switch to the shredded chicken meal."

After folding the clothes and putting them in the closet, the clone changed into a neat set of clothes, went to the bathroom to comb his hair, put on hairspray, put on a polite smile on his face, picked up an umbrella and went out.

Ren Suo, who had some free time, thought about it and opened the content storage library.

During these days, Ren Suo was very popular among the students because he crushed Zhao Huo, Ren Suo often went to the school hospital for consultation, and Ren Suo always treated any student with a kind, gentle and decent self.

When the clone goes to the school hospital to see patients, many students, both male and female, will ask the clone to examine their bodies because of his fame. However, the clone will also have a female nurse to monitor them, so there is no need to worry even if the students fall asleep during the examination.

Therefore, Ren Suo has also obtained a lot of one-star keys these days, but he has never opened the small world game console before and didn't care about it. Now that he remembered it, he randomly found two one-star keys, combined them into a two-star key, and opened the two-star treasure chest rewarded by "High Energy Ahead".

There are many useful items and abilities in "High Energy Ahead". The best one is naturally the explorer's "High Energy Midas Touch". Everything he touches will display extraordinary characteristics, directly transforming ordinary objects into artifacts, which can be described as a sparrow turning into a phoenix from a branch.

However, the rewards that popped out of the treasure chests were always weird and completely random, so Ren Suo didn't have much expectations.

But this time a very wonderful reward was revealed:

"Reinforcement Frame"

"Rank: 2-star disposable item, prerequisite: another item is required."

"Effect: The reinforcement frame can be combined with other items to enhance the effects of the items (it may enhance the original effects, reduce negative effects, derive new effects, etc.)"

"Note: Explorers have no idea of ​​the importance of wearing condoms."

"This reward... is pretty good." Ren Suo thought.

Because the item bar only has two slots, no matter how many items you get, only two can be effective at the same time. Therefore, some items will sit on the bench for a long time (such as the unlimited fried chicken meal). This "enhancement frame" can enhance the effect of a certain item, which is more practical than rewarding a useless item.

As for which item to strengthen, Ren Suo did not hesitate much and of course chose the "Hat of Seeking the Way and Correction".

When playing "Hand of Fate" before, Ren Suo realized the benefits of "high comprehension", but he couldn't constantly consume negative emotions to drive the "decree" to strengthen "rapid progress", so permanently increasing comprehension was the best.

As for the enhancement of items such as "Listening Headphones" and "Wizard's Feather of Immortality from Standing Still", there are many ways to enhance them, and Ren Suo is not sure about the effects of them after enhancement, but the "Hat of Seeking the Way and Correction" should increase understanding, right?

And in terms of frequency of use, Ren Suo himself equips the "Hat of Seeking Truth and Correction" almost all the time, so strengthening this one has the highest cost-effectiveness.

Soon, a brand new prop came out:

"Ornament of Seeking the Way"

"Rank: Three-star item, prerequisite: special equipment on the head (hat, hairpin, glasses, mask, hood, etc.)"

"Effect: After the player equips this, they will gain a 15% comprehension bonus, and all language purpose effects such as 'Enhanced Confession', 'Enhanced Apology', 'Enhanced Comfort', 'Enhanced Praise', and 'Enhanced Humor'."

"Note: After the seeker's memories are stained with the power of other hats, the hat's original ability is slightly reduced, but it also gains other powerful memory powers. After being strengthened, it can even be removed from the hat."

Compared to the original "Hat of Seeking the Way", the "Ornament of Seeking the Way" increased the comprehension by 5%, which was equivalent to strengthening the effect by half. Ren Suo was quite satisfied.

Now he no longer needs to wear a hat at home. It looks more normal for him to wear plain glasses than a hat!

Although no one talks about it, Zhao Huo recommended a hair growth water to Ren Suo some time ago. In fact, Ren Suo ordered his clone to beat Zhao Huo up that day, and there was still some old grudge against him.

I'm not bald!

Thinking of this, Ren Suo went to the closet to find a hooded jacket and put it on. He found that the "Seeking the Way Ornament" could also take effect. In winter, he relied on the hooded jacket to trigger this equipment.

…

In the evening, when Ren Suo went to Dong Chengling's house, he happened to meet Bai Ji, Gu Yueyan, Ren Xingmei, Lin Xianyu and others.

They congratulated each other first, and then Lin Xianyu excitedly suggested: "Why don't we go out and have fun this weekend to celebrate? The movie 'The Return of the Great Sage' is out now, and it's all over the Moments. Let's go watch it together?"

I don’t know if it was a coincidence or an official arrangement, but in October, an animated film "The Monkey King: Hero is Back" suddenly hit major theaters and the box office was extremely hot.

Many people on the Internet believe that the "Havoc in Heaven" in Journey to the West may be a record of the Monkey King going to heaven to eliminate the source of his previous arrogance and chaos in the fairy palace. Therefore, animated films related to "Havoc in Heaven" have become popular again.

Although the intranet has not confirmed this statement, many researchers believe that "Journey to the West" may be a record of some past behaviors of the Immortal Palace and is worthy of reference.

However, Ren Suo did not immediately agree to Lin Xianyu's proposal: "Let's talk about it later."

It will be November after today, and it’s time for Ren Suo to start playing new games.

God knows whether this game will be live broadcasted. If it is, Ren Suo will definitely not have time to go out and play.

Ren Suo glanced at Gu Yueyan, who was staring at Ren Suo, and immediately looked away. Ren Suo smiled and said, "I've reached the third level."

"knew."

"I really got promoted to the third rank."

"I know!" Gu Yueyan said angrily, "I will catch up with you soon, very soon!"

"Negative emotions from Gu Yueyan, +1"

Ren Suo blinked his eyes. Eh? Didn't she look very angry? Why only a little?

It’s hard to understand the thoughts of young girls…

Ren Suo turned his head to look at Bai Ji, who smiled and said, "You have already caught up with me, but I am also about to reach the next level. You must catch up and stand next to me."

"Of course." Ren Suo thought that boys would understand better.

When we arrived at Dong Chengling's house, it was Xiaojiu who opened the door.

As soon as Xiao Jiu saw Ren Suo, he immediately ran to her room, dragged out a big sword, held it up in both hands and held it in front of Ren Suo, and said crisply: "Father, please accept my gift!"

Ren Suo looked at the Frostmourne in front of him and fell silent.

After a moment, he asked, "Who taught you to do this?"

Xiao Jiu tilted his head and said, "Zhao Huo taught me. He said that doing this would make big brother very happy... He gave me this sword and asked me to give it to big brother in this way."

You said I was happy... I was actually a little happy, but the meaning was not good.

Ren Suo, a veteran player, slowly took over the Frostmourne and suddenly remembered

Didn't he give this sword to Zhao Huo after he cleared "High Energy Ahead"?!

Ren Suo remembered this grudge.
