Chapter 93 Learning Through Play, Talent Upgrade

Jiang He specializes in spiritual cultivation, and the resources he uses during breakthroughs are all spiritual resources.

Therefore, when he broke through to level D, his mental strength underwent a qualitative change first.

The details and scope of their mental perception were enhanced, and they also gained the ability to telekinesis.

With a thought, the shirt on the table flew out of thin air, automatically unfolded and put on him, then buttoned it up.

Fun!

Of course, this is the basic ability after the qualitative change of attributes. Just like humans are born with the ability to run and punch, it is certainly useful, but it can never compare with extraordinary abilities.

Zhong Honglian stood quietly, waiting for Jiang He to finish playing before speaking: "You consumed six sets of resources, totaling four million eight hundred thousand, or three hundred D-level incantations."

This is still the price after the discount.

Based on market prices, the resource value of Jiang He's breakthrough this time has reached 15 million!

In the modern world, where superhumans are everywhere, many low-level superhumans might not earn this much money in their entire lives.

Jiang He only used it to break through to D-level.

He couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

In the modern classification of superhumans, Class D still falls into the category of low-level superhumans, with relatively abundant resources and lower prices.

If he wants to use this method to break through to C-level, or even B-level... the price will be even higher, possibly reaching astronomical figures.

The cost of forcibly breaking through is enough to buy extraordinary items, or even directly purchase resources to enhance attributes.

Even if Jiang He could afford it, he would never choose this method again.

Next time, I'll just focus on improving my attributes.

……

Jiang He chose to pay with a spell and received two spirit storage items and a small bottle of C-grade spirit blood.

One of the spirit storage items is for breakthrough fees. Once he has stored three hundred incantations, he can submit it directly to the resource warehouse.

The other storage device was lent to him for selling incantations.

After finishing these tasks, Zhong Honglian hurriedly left, seemingly busy with something.

It was 18:37 PM, and night had fallen.

Jiang He didn't delay and left the school with his belongings, returning home.

After arriving home, he ordered two takeout meals to fill his stomach before starting his work drawing the incantation.

With the breakthrough cost plus tomorrow's goods, a total of six hundred incantations were needed, and Jiang He spent nearly five hours drawing them.

By the time the spirit storage container was filled, it was already midnight.

Jiang He was quite exhausted from drawing so many incantations. He yawned and walked out of the bedroom, intending to go to the bathroom to relieve himself. As he passed the living room, he glanced at it casually and froze on the spot.

A middle-aged man with messy hair was sitting on the living room floor, holding a game controller, head held high, engrossed in playing a video game.

Noticing the gaze directed at him, he turned around, smiled, and said, "Finished? Want to play a round?"

"..."

In a daze, Jiang He seemed to see his father laughing and joking with him.

He was a middle school student who had just finished a lot of homework and was extremely sleepy...

It wasn't until a moment later that he realized that the person sitting in the living room wasn't Jiang's father, but Old Jiang.

His middle-aged appearance was quite similar to that of Jiang's former father, which led him to have the illusion.

"If only it really were Dad..."

Jiang He rubbed his eyes, and Old Jiang's smile was still in his mind's eye. He sighed, went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and then went into the study to light incense for his parents.

He then returned to the living room, sat down next to Lao Jiang, and looked up at the television.

On the TV screen, a fighting game called "Superpower 2025" was playing.

The game is a superhuman fighting tournament with many superhumans participating. Players can control A-level superhumans to fight, or they can play the PVE mode and challenge thirteen S-level superhumans... This is obviously just a game. A-level superhumans are all big shots. How could they possibly fight to the death in front of everyone just for the so-called fighting championship?

Not to mention the hilarious setup of an A-rank challenging an S-rank.

However, in terms of gameplay, this game recreates many extraordinary abilities.

Jiang He even saw characters like Zhong Honglian (Blazing Red Lotus) and Chi Zhenshan (Power to Suppress Mountains and Rivers) among the available characters...

At this moment, Lao Jiang clicked on a random character and said with a smile, "Want to give it a try?"

Jiang He manually selected Zhong Honglian: "Come!"

Thirty minutes later.

Jiang He suffered his 30th consecutive loss and collapsed helplessly to the ground.

I'm sorry, teacher, I've embarrassed you!

How come Lao Jiang is so good at games?

Jiang He had just paid special attention; Old Jiang hadn't used any extraordinary hand speed, but simply pressed a button, easily breaking all of his combos, seizing the right moment to counterattack, and winning effortlessly...

Is this what Jiang Zemin is going to do in the future?!
Staying home and playing games during the apocalypse?
"That's experience," Lao Jiang said with a smile.

"This game is well made. You can tell that the producer put a lot of effort into polishing it and brought out many of the extraordinary features."

"Didn't you want to learn how to fight from me?"

"Fighting against Metal Knight can increase your combat experience, but it's still a bit one-sided."

"After all, no matter how many times you challenge it, it's still just 'Flame Words' versus 'Metal Knight,' with maybe some attribute changes... Just by memorizing the patterns, you can increase your 'combat power' with more attempts."

Your "knowledge base" will increase slowly.

"In fact, in real extraordinary battles, quickly identifying the opponent's abilities and figuring out how to counter them is also a very important 'skill'..."

Old Jiang patiently recounted the story.

Jiang He listened intently and sat up to look at the television.

So there's something to know about playing video games?
"Of course, a game is still a game. No matter how realistic the supernatural features are, there will still be a gap between them and reality."

"If you blindly copy others, this difference could be a matter of life and death in actual combat."

"unless……"

"You'll have an experienced superhuman who knows a wide range of professions and abilities to play games with you."

"That way, he can also teach you about extraordinary knowledge, allowing you to grow while you travel..."

"..."

Jiang He understood, and he looked at Old Jiang suspiciously.

"You're trying to trick me into playing games with you?"

"What do you mean by lying?" Old Jiang said with a broad smile, "This is teaching!"

"Alright, alright, this is teaching."

Since Lao Jiang said so, it's clear that Jiang He can learn something from it.

Moreover, this fun and engaging teaching method may be more effective than lengthy lectures.

Jiang He agreed with Lao Jiang's words and decided to set aside some time each day to play video games with him.

However, before continuing the game, Jiang He had one more thing to do—

Talent upgrade!

He got up, washed his face, and took out a jade bottle from his pocket.

This is the second S-level resource reward from the training camp: Azure Dragon Essence.

He uncorked the bottle, gently poured out the liquid, and a drop of white dew slid down and settled in his palm.
