100 million walk alone

Chapter 8 Upgrading: Starting from Hot Pot

Jincheng is full of fireworks, and red buildings sell restaurants everywhere.

Sit and watch the floating clouds and jade barriers, and watch the flowing water swing the golden sand.

Jincheng described in the poem is also called Rongcheng, the capital of Xichuan, and the first city in Shushan.

This metropolis with a population of more than 2000 million is extremely prosperous, full of beauties and delicious food.

Food in this era has a new definition, usually referring to those foods that are rich in energy after absorbing aura.

Pei Yin, who hadn't eaten or drank for seven days, relied on the spirit fruit to keep alive.

He was already starving. The first thing he did when he was discharged from the hospital was to have a hard meal.

He took a taxi and came to Lingyiguo.

This hot pot restaurant keeps up with the times, and the food in it is extraordinary.

Every night, Lingyiguo's eight branches in the city are bound to be overcrowded.

Some ingredients in this store are supplied by special channels. It is difficult for ordinary people to buy the same ingredients, so they have to come to the store to consume.

Customers who come to Lingyi Pot are not only monks who absorb spiritual energy, but also ordinary people who pursue their dreams.

Experts on TV have long said that mortals who eat spirit fruit for a long time can hope to awaken their spirit root.

Needless to say, there will be several Ouhuangs in Lingyiguo every year, and they will wake up after eating.

The fat man often comes to eat the spirit pot, looking forward to the possession of Ou Qi, every time it is mysterious.

Now that he has overcome the difficulties, he can finally experience what it means to improve one's skills by eating hot pot.

There were relatively few customers at noon, and the fat man didn't need to queue up to get a number, so he found a seat by the window.

He borrowed a charger, charged his phone, and checked his friend's message first.

Among them, Bai Lan sent the most honest message: "The blood monster has a bonus of [-]. The mouse monster is of a bad nature, so I won a bonus of [-] for you. The money has been paid, take care of your health, and I will call you when there is a task."

Pei Yin opened the online banking and saw that there was an extra 15.

The bonuses issued by the Public Security Bureau are all tax-free.

Fatty's small treasury has 28.

At present, no department has come to investigate the source of his property.

The fat man put his heart back in his stomach, and scanned the QR code to order food.

He ordered a portion of spiritual meat fat beef, a portion of spiritual beef tripe, a portion of spiritual duck blood, a portion of spiritual goose sausage, a portion of spiritual pig pork belly, a portion of spiritual rice, and a portion of psychic mouse fish.

When he was done, he sent a group message to a few of his friends in a coquettish way: "My friends, I have awakened. I will retreat for a while, and wait for me to come out gorgeously."

Soon Bai Lan sent an excited voice: "You boy has awakened, has the old injury healed?"

Pei Yin is even more awesome: "Seriously reborn, it's like a new body, no injuries at all."

Bai Lan replied in seconds: "Great, take me to fly in the future."

The fat man became humble: "I'm only a one-star spirit root, so it's better for you to take me with you."

Bai Lan replied: "Don't be humble. When you were a mortal, you were already too strong to have any friends. Now that you have spiritual roots, you will make big things happen sooner or later."

Pei Yin said happily: "Brother Shanfeng, you are worthy of being my bole, I just can't refuse a man with such vision like you."

Bai Lan sent a angry emoji holding a kitchen knife: "Say it again!"

The fat man was full of desire to survive: "My hand slipped, I made a typo, I can't refuse such a discerning beauty like you."

Bai Lan finally let him go, and chatted a few more words, expressing encouragement and expectation.

Soon another friend with the note [Old Zhao] sent a message: "Wait for you to leave the customs, let me see your terrifying strength."

Pei Yin replied: "Old Zhao, I often can't keep up with your train of thought, how do you see that I have terrifying strength?"

Old Zhao typed and replied: "I have known you for so many years, and I have often pondered a question. It is already so unreasonable for you to have no spiritual roots. When you have spiritual roots, how high will the upper limit be?"

What Lao Zhao expressed was similar to that of Bai Lan.

Every monk has a secret. Friends didn't ask Pei Yin what kind of spiritual root he was, or what exercises he passed on, and they sent blessings and encouragement in their own way.

Pei Yin felt warm in his heart. There are still a few people in the world who care about him who is lonely and helpless.

At this time, Bai Lan sent another message: "By the way, after you awakened, have you lost weight?"

The fat man coaxed coaxingly: "I took a test when I was discharged from the hospital, and I lost eight catties, and my weight is exactly 100 kilograms."

Bai Lan sent a contemptuous expression: "You two-hundred-jin fat man, what are you talking about?"

The fat man was even more embarrassing: "The doctor said that my hypothyroidism has been cured. As long as I keep exercising and lose the fat in the past six years, I can return to my peak."

Bai Lan replied: "Come on, when you lose weight successfully, I'll buy you a drink."

The fat man didn't keep up with the other party's train of thought: "What does drinking have to do with losing weight?"

Brother Shanfeng likes to tell the truth: "Of course it has something to do. Every time I see your wretched fat face and that greasy double chin, it affects my interest in drinking."

"..."

The fat man couldn't continue talking, and his desire to lose weight was unprecedentedly strong.

Cultivators have one more way to lose weight than ordinary people, tempering themselves with mana, can strengthen the body, delay aging, and maintain a good figure.

Simply put, improving your skills can also lose weight.

Fatty is currently on the first level of the Appearance Realm, the lowest level of the pyramid in the practice world.

The energy of the enlightened spirit fruit, as well as the energy of that drop of clear water, was drained during the process of transforming the body, and it did not allow him to increase his skill dramatically.

He needs to use this meal to verify how much skill can be improved by eating hot pot.

Soon the waiter brought the food to the table, and the fat man started the experiment.

He scalded a piece of fat beef and carefully understood the mystery.

When he was a mortal in the past, he only felt that spirit meat was different from ordinary meat, but he couldn't tell what the difference was.

Now as a monk, he can clearly feel a wave of spiritual energy flowing in his body.

At this time, the exercises showed their effect.

Mortals consume less than one-thousandth of the energy absorbed by eating spiritual fruits.

Most of the energy will be excreted with the body and wasted in vain.

Only a few European emperors absorbed spiritual energy to produce genetic mutations, thus awakening their spiritual roots.

Cultivators are amazing, even if it is a one-star technique, the energy absorbed is more than ten times higher than that of ordinary people.

The function of exercises is not only to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, but also to refine the energy of spirit fruit.

In this day and age, even middle school students know that the concentration of absorbed energy is linked to the state of the practice.A one-star skill at the entry level can absorb 1% of energy; at the small level, it can absorb 3%; at the level of great success, it can absorb 6%; at the level of perfection, it can absorb 10%.

If it is a two-star skill, 5% will be absorbed by beginners, 10% will be absorbed by minor successes, 15% will be absorbed by major successes, and 20% will be absorbed by perfection.

By analogy, 30% of the three-star exercises are absorbed successfully, and 40% are absorbed after the four-star exercises are completed.

The legendary Nine-Star Divine Art can absorb 90% of energy after it is completed.

The four elements of comprehension: law, spouse, wealth, and land.

Dharma is the general term for exercises and spells, and it is not without reason that it ranks first.

The grade of the skill determines the speed of absorption and also determines the speed of cultivation.

There has long been a public opinion in the realm of comprehension, and the realm of skills is the benchmark for measuring geniuses and mediocrities.

The same nine-year cultivation education, the same level of exercises, and the same teacher, some people have achieved great success in the exercises, while others have barely started, which determines different destinies.

At present, the first-level "Clear Water Divine Art", in terms of energy absorption, is similar to the one-star exercises. Fatty absorbs 10% of food energy.

Compared with the previous absorption of less than one-thousandth, he has made great progress.

When the fat man was eating, the Clear Water Divine Art was also running automatically, transforming the energy of the food into aura. Through a mysterious transformation method, the aura was compressed and purified, and a cyclone was condensed.

The cyclone wrapped around the spiritual root and rotated at a high speed, forming two spiritual lines of mana.

The two mana lines represent the second level of the spirit.

There is also a price for upgrading, and the price he paid for it was... eight thousand and five for this meal.

There is a generally accepted saying in the world that low-level monks want to upgrade quickly, mainly relying on food.

Xiuzhen Star has a 5000-year cultivation civilization. After 500 years of exhaustion of spiritual energy, spiritual energy has recovered, and a large number of plants and animals have mutated, containing abundant energy.

The spirit fruit of this era is no less effective than the panacea of ​​ancient times.

But to buy spiritual fruit, you need financial resources to support it.

The [-] hot pot meal in front of me is not considered the most high-end, it is already equivalent to a month's salary of an ordinary person.

Even a monk with an annual salary of one million is daunted by the kind of high-end food that starts at tens of thousands.

The fat man has embarked on a different path. With the blessing of the 2.0 system, if he kills one more monster, he can get another [-] million, and he can eat and drink without any problems.

Hunting monsters get bonuses, bonuses increase skills, kryptonite improves the realm of skills, forming a perfect cycle.
