Chapter 12 I don't know, it's not me
Watching the ball of light enter his hand and show no sign of coming out, Lin Zhusheng opened his eyes, turned his head to look at the kitten next to him, and asked in a low voice: "What is this?"
It seemed real, yet unreal, and it was everywhere in the mountains. It was so bright but it didn't cause any noise, as if no one else noticed.
He dares to reach out and take things he doesn’t recognize, and only asks what they are after taking them. The kitten was silent for a moment, then said, "This should be spiritual energy."
Aura is usually invisible, but can be seen briefly by certain people at certain times.
It was not itself that was upgraded, and it could not see the light, but it could search the information database through the narration, and after finding it, it reminded: "The first step in formal cultivation is to draw Qi into the body and shape the spiritual veins."
When the Qi is drawn into the body, that is the time when you can see the spiritual energy. This person should be experiencing this stage now.
The focus of this stage is on the spiritual vein, and its main purpose is to shape the spiritual vein. The root bones determine how far a cultivator can go on the path of cultivation, and the spiritual veins determine how much spiritual power the body can carry. Once they are formed, they cannot be easily changed.
The width of a cultivator's spiritual veins is limited, and it mainly depends on talent. On top of talent, one also needs to consider the place where the energy is drawn into the body.
If there is not enough spiritual energy around when drawing qi into the body, no matter how high your talent is, the width of the expansion of the spiritual vein will be very limited. It would be almost impossible to remedy the situation later.
“…”
Lin Zhusheng listened to the analysis for a long time, and finally summarized it in plain language: "It means that the upper limit of my mana bar is determined now. The more spiritual energy, the better."
It was an ordinary sleepless night, but it somehow turned into a moment of important decision-making. I was caught off guard.
That's what I mean. The kitten nodded, and then asked with some concern: "Is there a lot of spiritual energy here?"
According to the information in the database, the amount of spiritual energy seen when drawing energy into the body is related to one's own ability. If one's ability is insufficient, one may not be able to see a few clusters of spiritual energy even if one is in an environment with so much spiritual energy that it can be liquefied, and even if one sees it, he or she may not be able to absorb it.
Is it a lot?
Lin Zhusheng looked up from the window, looking at the bright light that covered the whole mountain and field and formed a galaxy, and said hesitantly, "It's a lot."
This was also the first time he did this, and he had no reference, so he could only make a judgment based on his feeling, and he felt that it should be a lot.
The tone was so hesitant that even Kitty became uncertain. She looked up at him twice more. Between suspecting that he was lying about military intelligence and asking further questions, she let out a sigh and said, "That's good."
Being able to see it is a success. The game selects players with a certain degree of randomness. It has prepared for the worst-case scenario that the player is a hopeless loser. As long as it can be seen, there is still hope.
I don't ask for great wealth and honor, I just want to have some ability to save my life.
Lin, the player who was still likely to be saved, looked down and saw more balls of light merging into his body. He felt that the scene was a bit strange but also seemed too slow.
It was really slow. The ball of light floated slowly and he waited quietly. The process was very similar to a sloth picking leaves to eat. He was the leaf quietly waiting to be picked.
By the time it was picked, he would have almost fallen from the tree.
The small ball of light melted into my body, and it had no real feeling, just like dripping a drop of water on your lips when you are thirsty. Even if you wait like this until dawn, there may not be any results.
"The guy who is always late" has replaced his name and become the name his fellow students call him in their minds. This cannot go on any longer. He must get up early tomorrow no matter what.
He stood up from the bed, walked forward to the window, reached out his hand closer to the ball of light in the air, raised his eyelashes, and moved his fingers slightly.
He wanted all these floating balls of light to come over.
Then the light balls came over. It was like a still galaxy that began to move, apparently slowly, but incredibly fast up close, leaving behind bright afterimages as it rushed from all directions.
“Huahua——”
Suddenly, a wind blew up, swaying the bamboo forest and suddenly poured in through the window.
It was unclear what had happened, but the kitten's fur was all over the place, and it held on to the bricks on the table that had been turned over by someone to prevent itself from being blown away.
A cat's head raised up, looking at the person standing next to it, only to see flying sleeves blocking its view, with overly long hair entangled in them, sliding past like water, emitting a faint light in the darkness.
The wind changed direction, and the lifted hem of his clothes fell down. He saw the bamboo forest surging outside the window, and the faint light flowing slowly in the sky, which was reflected in his clear pupils but was extremely bright and shining.
A gust of wind blew from who knows where, and even brought peach blossom petals that were only found on another mountain into the bamboo leaves, and then carried them away into the distance.
This was my first time guiding a novice, and I wasn't very experienced in the business. I couldn't tell whether this situation was normal or not. The only thing I could do was to hold on to the book tightly to prevent myself from being blown away.
The ball of light turned into a stream of light and fell into the palm of his hand, flowing like water without stopping. The ball of light in the distance that could be seen by the naked eye quickly decreased. Lin Zhusheng could feel that something was extra in his body, but he didn't know what it was. He just watched the light on his body continue.
He felt that it was definitely past bedtime.
“Woo——”
The wind gradually died down, and the moment the last ball of light fell on my hand, a flash of light appeared, and the world seemed to stop.
The wind is still, the trees are still, and the sound of insects chirping appears tentatively. The hem of the clothes that was blown up fell down, and the room returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.
——It’s not like nothing has changed.
The kitten that was blown to the corner along with the brick opened its lifeless eyes, its fur was blown into a mess, and every strand of hair had its own thoughts.
[Current level: LV2 (1000/2000)]
Lin Zhusheng saw the kitten squatting in the corner. Rather than checking his own situation, he was more keen on laughing. He pointed with his finger and wanted to laugh, but when the message prompt box popped up, his smile froze instantly and the corners of his mouth drooped.
Now it's the kitten's turn to laugh.
Good news, experience has increased.
Bad news, the experience cap has also increased.
After looking at the zero after the number in disbelief, Lin Zhusheng thought quickly and calmly pointed out, "There is a bug. There is an extra zero after the number. Please fix it as soon as possible."
The kitten replied while trying to smooth its fur: "The system is running normally. Congratulations. This is the result of your hard work."
After reaching LV2, experience is divided into two parts: one is the amount of spiritual power stored at the current stage, and the other is the actual degree of use of spiritual power.
Spiritual energy is forged into spiritual veins. The wider the spiritual veins, the more spiritual power can be stored. The more spiritual power there is, the more practical experience is needed to learn how to use it. The extra spiritual energy just now is stored in the spiritual vein and converted into 1,000 experience points. Correspondingly, 1,000 practical experience points are also required to be able to use it skillfully. There is no problem with the data.
“…”
If I remember correctly, before going to bed, it only took 200 experience points to upgrade from level 2 to level 3. From 200 to 2000, Lin Zhusheng's anger increased tenfold. He calmly made his request, saying simply, "I want to go back to the previous level."
Unfortunately, although we are experiencing life in the form of a game, this is a real world after all. Time is irreversible and no rollback service is provided.
There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart. Lin Zhusheng took two steps back, lay down on the bed, wrapped himself in the quilt, closed his eyes, and tried to fall asleep to escape reality.
“…”
Oh, I forgot, I couldn’t sleep after eating Lingxu Su tonight.
Failing to fall asleep, he sat up in bed with half-open eyes, resigned himself to his fate, and turned over the bricks beside the bed.
The kitten jumped over, still remembering what happened before, and said loudly: "You really can't sleep!"
It turned out that I woke it up on purpose!
A vengeful cat. Lin Zhusheng lay on the bed and turned a page of the book, and at the same time pulled the cat's fur in the opposite direction, causing it to stand up again.
The lights were on all night, and because he didn't sleep at all, the king of lateness was rarely late that morning. After entering the classroom, he sat down in his seat and collapsed on the table.
Song Ming, a good classmate who was also not late, was sitting next to him. He still looked very good. When asked about his dark circles under his eyes, which not only did not disappear, but also showed signs of getting worse.
"Well," Lin Zhusheng said with a dry laugh as he struggled to stand up from the table, "a little proof of my hard work."
I didn't expect him to be the kind of person who would stay up late to study. The others who were talking about other topics in front of him turned their heads to look at him in surprise.
“…”
Lin Zhusheng could only continue to smile.
The others also smiled, turned their heads back and continued with the previous topic.
They were talking about the mysterious disappearance of spiritual energy last night. It was said that an elder who was in charge was asking if anyone knew the inside story and seemed to be very concerned.
Song Ming had heard people talking about what happened that night since he entered the academy. He vaguely understood something and turned to look at the person next to him and asked, "It is said that the place with the most noise last night seems to be not far from you. Did anything happen?"
One of the fellow disciples in front of him clenched his fist and said angrily that he had stayed up late to meditate last night, and no wonder he didn't feel any improvement, it turned out that he had no spiritual energy at all.
Others echoed, saying that if they found out who did it, they would do this and that and then that and show no mercy.
“…Ah, yeah.”
Lin Zhusheng retracted his eavesdropping ears, slightly shifted his gaze, and replied vaguely: "Not sure."
He pointed at himself and said seriously: "After all, I am the kind of person who is very dedicated to learning."
