Chapter 213 Digging and Digging, the Story of the Hoe and the Corner
Jiang Chen arrived at Hong Shen's courtyard and respectfully bowed to Hong Jishi.
“The students have met the teachers,” he said.
Then he turned to Li Xueru and Lin Zhenzi again and made the same gesture: "Greetings, Senior Li and Senior Lin."
Hong Jishi scrutinized Jiang Chen: "Not bad. In just two days, you've gone from level 28 to level 30. Your speed is no worse than mine back in the day."
Lin Zhenzi chuckled, showing a disdainful expression.
Li Xueru said in a calm tone, "Back then, it took you 18 days to go from level 28 to level 30."
Hong Jishi's expression immediately fell: "Old Li, you're really not being fair."
“It’s even more disrespectful to brag in front of students.” Li Xueru’s tone remained calm and uncompromising.
Hong Jishi waved his hand: "Forget it, forget it, I won't stoop to your level."
"You should meditate now and restore your energy and spirit to their peak state," he continued.
Jiang Chen obeyed Hong Jishi's order, walked to the side, and quickly fell into a meditative state.
Although he had just left the instance, he had calmed down.
In less than a minute, Jiang Chen had entered a deep meditative state, and his energy was rapidly recovering.
Hong Jishi gave Li Xueru a look.
A phantom of the Divine Dragon Tower appeared in Li Xueru's palm, and then a beam of light shot out from the top of the Divine Dragon Tower, enveloping Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen's face relaxed, and he completely relaxed as well. His mental energy recovered even faster than it had in the military training grounds within the alien battlefield fortress.
In less than an hour, Jiang Chen had recovered to his peak condition, with his energy and spirit in perfect condition, even exceeding his best state.
Hong Jishi nodded with great satisfaction: "Not bad, you're in good spirits and can use the skill scroll now."
When you are in peak physical and mental condition, the probability of awakening a skill increases.
Jiang Chen nodded, then took out the prepared skill scroll.
At that moment, he suddenly noticed that Hong Jishi had also taken out a bunch of skill scrolls.
Hong Jishi asked, puzzled, "Why did you prepare skill scrolls?"
Jiang Chen scratched his head: "I leveled up and need to learn new skills, so I went to the exchange and bought some."
Lin Zhenzi burst out laughing: "You're a really incompetent teacher, Jiang Chen. Why don't you become my student? I'm a much better teacher than this guy."
Hong Jishi said irritably, "Get lost. You're trying to poach my employees? No way."
Lin Zhenzi was incredibly shameless: "As long as you wield the hoe well, no corner is too hard to dig down. Jiang Chen, you should consider this. I'm Cai'er's grandfather. If you become my student..."
"Stop, stop! Using your own granddaughter as a bargaining chip? You've really lost all sense of shame!"
Hong Jishi jumped up and shouted fiercely at Lin Zhenzi.
Then he turned to Jiang Chen and said, "Don't worry, if he dares to object to your relationship with Cai'er, I'll come to your door and snatch Cai'er back for you to be your wife."
Lin Zhenzi said angrily, "You dare to try and steal it, I'll set your yard on fire."
Jiang Chen was speechless. These two guys have been friends for so many years, have they become so casual with each other?
Li Xueru coughed lightly: "Alright, alright, we're all getting on in years, aren't we ashamed?"
The two snorted, staring at each other with wide eyes, neither afraid of the other.
Li Xueru asked, "How many skill scrolls have you prepared?"
Jiang Chen honestly replied, "200 sheets."
Li Xueru shook his head: "Not quite enough."
200 photos aren't enough?
Jiang Chen naturally believed what Li Xueru said: "Then I'll go buy some more."
"No need, I've already prepared everything."
As Hong Jishi spoke, he waved his hand, and a large number of skill scrolls flew over, piling up into a small mountain.
"Here are 1000 beginner skill scrolls. Use them for now, and we'll talk about it if we need more." 1000 scrolls plus his own 200 scrolls, that's 1200 scrolls. Surely that's not enough?
Jiang Chen was a little confused. He thought he had used 16 cards when he was level 20.
Are there really that many skills to learn?
Hong Jishi explained, “Don’t think it’s a lot. It’s not easy to learn all the skills. To put it bluntly, out of 10000 professionals, 9999 of them fail to learn all the basic skills before level 40.”
"Others can learn skills with skill books or acquire and master skills on their own based on information. Your profession is new. There are no skill books or information. You can only rely on skill scrolls."
"Moreover, skill scrolls have limitations; the more times a scroll is used, the lower the chance of awakening."
"How many skills did you awaken using skill scrolls when you were at level 10 and 20?"
Jiang Chen calculated: "5." Hong Jishi breathed a sigh of relief: "A little too many, but still acceptable."
After all, Jiang Chen is different from others; he needs to use skill scrolls to awaken all his skills.
The characteristic of skill scrolls is that the more times they are used, the lower the chance of awakening.
Furthermore, as you acquire more and more skills, there is a certain chance that you will awaken the skills you have already mastered.
For others, they first use skill books, materials, and mentors to master most professional skills.
Then throw down a few hundred more beginner skill scrolls.
Even if you can't learn everything, you should at least be able to learn 80% or 90%.
Furthermore, the number of skills required for most professions has been tallied, allowing people to know which skills they haven't yet mastered.
But Jiang Chen was completely clueless.
No one knows how many skills he will have at level 30. Hong Jishi also can't guarantee whether 1200 basic skill scrolls will be enough.
Fortunately, there was still the Flash Beginner Skill Scroll as a backup.
“Just use them in groups of ten, be generous. If it’s not enough, the teacher will take care of it,” Hong Jishi assured him, patting his chest.
Jiang Chen hummed in agreement and began using the skill scroll.
His spiritual energy was released, simultaneously activating 10 basic skill scrolls.
The skill scroll burst forth with a brilliant light that enveloped him.
A moment later, the light disappeared, and nothing happened.
This was expected and is quite normal.
Continue using it.
Skill scrolls were used in batches.
Five batches were used in succession, but no trace of any skill was observed.
Jiang Chen paused for a moment and looked at Hong Jishi. Hong Jishi was drinking tea and seemed completely oblivious.
I took a deep breath and continued.
Ten more and ten more.
Skill scrolls were continuously activated, transforming into starlight fragments.
Finally, after the 10th batch of skill scrolls was activated, a change occurred.
Ten thousand points of silver light appeared before Jiang Chen's eyes.
Jiang Chen saw one weapon after another.
Knife, sword, staff, club, gauntlets, bow and arrow...
Every weapon was glowing, dazzlingly bright.
The light lasted for two minutes before disappearing.
"Gained skill: Physical Resistance"
"Physical Resistance (Level 1): Passive skill, increases the physical attack resistance of self and summoned creatures by 10%"
It's another passive skill, similar to elemental resistance. After the buff, your physical resistance increases by 400%, which is enough to reduce damage by 4 times.
It's a very good skill, excellent for saving your life.
Jiang Chen was slightly pleased when he noticed that Hong Jishi was looking at him.
"What skill?" Hong Ki-seok asked calmly.
It seems like they've seen it all before.
Jiang Chen said, "It's a passive skill, physical resistance, which can reduce the physical damage I and my summoned creatures take."
Hong Jishi hummed in agreement: "A defensive passive skill, very good."
"You can continue. Next, we'll have groups of 20."
Jiang Chen nodded and began activating 20 beginner skill scrolls at a time.
Another new skill has been mastered, further increasing the difficulty of skill awakening. The exact increase depends on luck.
Anyway, the probability will definitely drop significantly.
This is experience accumulated over many years.
Jiang Chen felt that he had awakened a total of 5 skills at levels 10 and 20 using so few skill scrolls.
You could say they got incredibly lucky.
This is the normal situation now.
Batch after batch of basic skill scrolls were consumed, 200... 300...
When they reached 400 cards, Hong Ki-seok casually said, "Let's use 50 cards each time."
Jiang Chen nodded, his mental strength increased, and he began using 50 cards at a time.
Activating skill scrolls also requires mental energy, and Jiang Chen's mental energy is gradually decreasing.
At this moment, Li Xueru emitted another beam of light, and Jiang Chen's spiritual power began to slowly recover.
A set of 50 sheets worked.
When two cards are used consecutively, and a total of 600 cards are used, the skill's brilliance reappears.
Jiang Chen saw a sky full of red light, just like the scene when he awakened the Slow Curse.
"Curse-type skills".
Jiang Chen was overjoyed; curse-type skills were incredibly useful.
Hong Jishi, Li Xueru, and Lin Zhenzi also saw a different scene at this moment.
In their eyes, Jiang Chen was enveloped in a red light.
The aura emanating from the red light even made them feel threatened.
The others were all slightly surprised.
