My stats are higher than yours!!

"?"

"What's wrong with his body? How did a guy who hasn't even become a psychic suppress the Laughter Factor? Didn't that thing drive him crazy? It didn't even show up outwards? If I hadn't been looking closely, I probably wouldn't have noticed this at all!"

The school doctor stared at him in disbelief, his gaze not so much as that of someone looking at a human, but more like that of someone looking at a humanoid creature.

Then, he took out all sorts of things and examined them carefully dozens of times. After finally confirming that there was no problem, he lay back in the chair and sighed, "Is this human? Is this even human?"

"Why is the activity of the laughter factor in his body so low? Why is he so quiet? Why hasn't he gone mad? No one is suppressing him, and no equipment is affecting his state. How is he maintaining consciousness?"

"No, that's a lethal dose of Laughing Factor! How is he still alive? How is his Laughing Factor activity so stable?"

The school doctor covered his face in disbelief, staring at the ceiling, and muttered to himself, "Could it be that there really are people in this world who are born with a genetic predisposition to laughter? Someone who can directly withstand laughter without being affected in their mental state? Is this even possible?"

Chapter Twenty-Four: Buying Medicine for the Sake of Value!

"So, this kid has a lethal dose of Laughter Factor in his body? Was the previous damage repaired by Laughter Factor?" Old Bi asked tentatively.

"Yes, the amount of Laughter Factor is huge. For a child like him who hasn't become a psionicist yet, it's a lethal dose. Let alone stuffing it directly into his body, even if you put it on him with equipment as a carrier, he wouldn't be able to handle it."

The school doctor became increasingly confused, unable to understand what was going on. In the end, he could only conclude that Bai Shuodong's constitution might be innately compatible with the Laughter Factor, which was why he was able to carry it.

He couldn't think of any other reason.

...

"Well..."

Bai Shuodong slowly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed. He moved around a bit and found that his body was not sore as he had imagined. Instead, he felt more relaxed than ever before and was in excellent condition.

"woke up?"

Suddenly, a clear, cold voice rang out beside him. The speaker was a man in a white coat who looked like the school doctor from the infirmary.

This guy usually only provides a halo for the infirmary and training camp. The medical expenses he treats are extremely high, and ordinary people can't afford them at all. You even have to ask the teacher to contact him to find him, otherwise you might not be able to find him even if you go to the infirmary.

Therefore, Bai Shuodong had never met him before; he had never actually met the school doctor at the infirmary.

"Your physical condition is good, and your overall recovery speed is very good. There are no problems at the moment."

"Ah."

"However, you have something very dangerous on you right now, the Laughter Factor. Where did this come from? How did you absorb it into your body? You've never even been to the Spirit Realm, so you shouldn't have had the chance to come into contact with something like this, right?"

The school doctor stared at him intently, his gaze serious and grave, and said, "Don't try to deny or hide it. Spirit Realm skills are the embodiment of one's own abilities. You have now received the ability boost from the Laughter Factor, so your Spirit Realm panel must have the passive effect of the Laughter Factor's skills. You must know about the Laughter Factor."

"Let me make this clear beforehand: I'm not asking you this to extract information from you. What's crucial to you is just a low-level useless ability to me. I'm not a first or second-tier piece of trash, so you can speak freely and boldly."

"...good."

Bai Shuodong's lips twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but curse inwardly: 'What do you mean I'm not a first or second-tier piece of trash?' Most of the teachers in the school are first or second-tier, so his words were tantamount to directly cursing the vast majority of teachers in the entire school.

He continued, "Before, when I went to the logistics department to pick up some things, an old man said that I had a hard life and then gave me a silver-grade ornament called the Laughing Mask."

"I put it on, and I could feel something inside the mask. That power was very special; it made me very strong. Later, the mask shattered, and that power merged into my body, giving me a passive laugh factor."

"..."

The school doctor paused briefly, rested his chin on his hand, stared at Bai Shuodong, and said, "You're definitely not lying. I can confirm that you're right. It seems that your constitution is relatively special, which actively attracted the laughing factor inside the mask. Once the laughing factor was lost, the laughing mask shattered on its own."

"That old man is really going too far lately. How could he let a student wear something like the Laughing Mask? That could cause trouble. Doesn't he have any sense of propriety at all?"

"You wait, I'm going to beat him up."

As soon as he finished speaking, the school doctor disappeared, seemingly using some kind of spatial ability, and without any forward sway, his speed was frightening.

Is this the school doctor?

Bai Shuodong sighed inwardly, then opened his spirit interface panel to check his own stats. He found that his long weapon prowess had successfully reached level 2, and his base strength attribute had also quietly increased by 0.1, which was the result of natural training.

The Spirit Interface panel is a data-driven representation of one's abilities in reality. As the body becomes stronger through training, the panel will change accordingly.

While honing skills is important, stats are the foundation of everything. Only with high stats can combat skills be brought to their full potential. Without sufficient stats, even the strongest combat skills will be ineffective, just like when I fought the head instructor.

Previously, I was able to defeat Xia Yanxin not because of my skills or my ability to unleash extremely high values ​​at any moment, which allowed me to instantly kill her, and that's why I had this opportunity.

Otherwise, I have no chance of winning, and no one else has a chance of winning either; that's the value.

How to quickly improve numerical values?

Taking drugs!

Take a lot of drugs!

What does "steady and steady" mean? "Steady and steady" refers to applying the medicine steadily and consistently.

Bai Shuodong opened his phone and browsed the school's online shopping platform. Various kinds of medicines came into view, including the Rongcui series of medicines that had been recommended by the head of the teaching department.

The Rongcui series of potions are indeed good. They are relatively affordable, have a short cooldown time, provide stable attribute boosts, and can specifically boost the most needed attributes without boosting irrelevant attributes.

For potions, inexplicably increasing attributes that are not expected is a side effect. For example, a warrior needs strength, but he does not need extra mental attributes. If the potion increases mental attributes along with it, then it is considered to increase ineffective attributes.

The conditions for participating in the Spirit Realm Trials are that one's basic four-dimensional attributes reach 20, and one's basic attributes cannot exceed 20 before passing the Spirit Realm Trials and officially becoming a psychic.

In other words...

One point more in spirit attribute equals one point less in strength attribute. For warriors, the difference between spirit and strength is enormous, so controlling attributes is essential. Therefore, one must be careful when taking drugs.

Currently, my four-dimensional base attribute is 17.9, which is 2.1 points away from reaching 20. It will take about 19 to 20 uses of Rongcui series potions.

Each time I need to rest for three days, and theoretically, it will take me almost two months to reach the limit value before entering the spirit world.

However, in reality, if Rongcui medicine is used repeatedly for three consecutive days, its efficacy will actually decrease, the body will develop drug resistance, and a large amount of drug toxicity will accumulate.

To achieve stable improvement, you either need to undergo physical therapy to remove drug toxins, or extend the treatment time by waiting a few more days after using it twice before using it again. This will prevent the accumulation of too much drug resistance and toxins. The downside is that the treatment time will be significantly longer.

Let's spend more money on stronger medicine!

Titan ProX988

Price: 1.6

Effects: Increases Strength attribute by 0.8-1 points and Constitution attribute by 0.4-0.5 points.

Side effects: Within three days, the muscles will experience unbearable tearing pain, which will gradually subside after a week. There are no other negative effects.

Store manager's note: This medicine can be used on animals when diluted with water.

Sixteen thousand points can increase attributes by 1.2 to 1.5? And this increase is rapid in a short period of time?

That's great!

This thing is even cheaper than Rongcui!

Rongcui costs 2,000 yuan per stitch, with a cost of 0.1 to 0.2, but in most cases it is 0.1, averaging around 0.106. If it weren't for the fact that the smallest number in the spirit world is 0.1, it wouldn't be marked as 0.1 to 0.2.

Such a good thing?

I bought it right away!

Chapter Twenty-Five: Xia Yanxin, Never Gossiping

Bai Shuodong opened the shop and found that the medicine was produced by Giant Pharmaceuticals, a brand-name company known for its low price, high attribute enhancement, and lack of serious side effects.

In addition, the prices of different series of medicines used in different professions also vary.

Titan 1.6w for Warriors

Hydra 2.8w for tanks

The 4.6w revitalizing agent used in legal counseling

How delightful!

Are warrior-grade medicines really that cheap?

Could it be that they're too expensive and can't be sold?

As Bai Shuodong laughed, he suddenly recalled his previous financial situation.

Her smile froze.

Then, he thought about the economic situation of the other warriors around him, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

It seems I really can't afford it!

The warrior class receives the lowest subsidies and has the most intense competition. In the neighboring support class, completing the Spirit Realm Trial in the senior year is considered a success, while in the warrior class, failing to complete the Spirit Realm Trial in the first year is basically a waste. That's the difference.

The root cause of this gap is very simple: the warrior class has the lowest difficulty in passing the Spirit Realm Trial and is the easiest to get a high score, thus obtaining a higher-ranking job. The minimum guaranteed income is much higher than other classes, so the subsidies are naturally worse.

The support class is primarily focused on mental attributes and cannot learn magic (if they could, they would have already gone to the magic class). Passing the Spirit Realm Trial basically depends entirely on their intelligence. If they cannot find a breakthrough, they may not even be able to pass the Spirit Realm Trial. Of course, they receive more subsidies, otherwise no one would come.

French system subsidies are more...

That's simply because there are too few people!

The French system provides the least total subsidy, but because of its high requirements and small number of participants, the subsidy per person is the highest.

Tanks have a higher margin for error, but their average grade is lower because their output is not as high as warriors; ranged classes have higher output, but their margin for error is not high, and their average grade is also lower; assassins are relatively balanced, but they cannot play a reckless style of play, and they require more strategy and tactics than warriors, so their average grade is also lower.

so...

Aside from the Mage class, which requires massive spending, the Warrior class is the strongest, with the highest average class level and the largest number of players. Therefore, the final per capita subsidy is naturally less.

As the saying goes, those who are capable often have a secure future.

Those who are good at fighting, like the Warriors, can just make more money on their own; there's no need to give them subsidies. As for those who haven't officially become psionicists and don't have the ability to earn money independently... well, they should just be strong on their own! Anyway, there are many Warriors, so losing a small portion won't have a big impact.

Those who are this poor generally do not meet the requirements for other departments, because the Warrior department has the lowest application requirements. Basically, as long as you meet the minimum standards and are willing to endure hardship, you can get in.

Therefore, those who haven't become psionicists by the first year of high school are practically useless.

A solid and strong early game

This is the Warrior class.

...

Three days later

Inside the classroom, Xia Yanxin looked at the empty seat next to her, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Why is this guy on leave again?

Could it be that she's carrying me with her legs crossed again?

How despicable!

The thought that someone is using me as a shield to compete against each other, and that there's a high probability they can significantly improve their strength, makes me feel incredibly uncomfortable.

This feeling is really strange. I never feel this way when I see others improve their strength, but he is different. He is special and different from everyone else.

Could it be that...

Is this guy dangerous?

Does this guy pose a threat to my position?

Yes! That's it!

It must be because his strength has improved too quickly, and he may pose a threat to me in the future, so I feel anxious. I can only feel at ease when I confirm that his strength is not as good as mine, or that his growth rate is not as good as mine.

Xia Yanxin!

Are you really that kind of person?

Are you actually afraid of challengers?

No, that's the mindset of a weakling. I must abandon that idea. I must concentrate all my spirit and energy on myself and be truly self-reliant. That's what a true strongman does.

Suddenly, she heard a hushed whisper beside her.

whispering sound!

I have no interest in listening to the arguments of the weak!

People who love listening to gossip are so lame!

Instead, we should seriously consider how to unleash our full power when wielding two greatswords, and defeat all powerful enemies with an absolutely overwhelming and supreme posture!

Yes!

Xia Yanxin uses a greatsword, but she doesn't use a single greatsword. She usually only uses one because her opponents are too weak, so there's no need for her to bring out a second one. When fighting others, she holds back more than 90% of her strength.

Even so, very few people can stand up to her. Only the academy's teachers and instructors who have faced her directly know just how strong this monster really is.
