Online Game: Me, with Unparalleled Comprehension

Wu Feng thanked him and turned to leave the counter.

Contribution... He glanced at the mountain of wolf meat and wild boar chunks in his backpack, all dropped while leveling up on the road, numbering in the thousands.

At a rate of ten parts for one point, handing in all of them would earn several hundred contribution points.

But he doesn't intend to hand it over all at once.

Firstly, it attracts attention; secondly, the contribution is too slow to be earned. If one wants to rise to the rank of centurion by handing over meat, it will probably take forever.

"Let's go see how much contribution points are needed to exchange martial arts skills first." After making this decision, he headed towards the armory exchange area he had seen earlier.

The armory exchange office is located in another courtyard to the west of the mission hall. There are guards at the entrance, but the checks are not strict; they only look at the waist tag.

Wu Feng showed his wooden waist tag, and the guards let him pass.

The courtyard was much quieter than the mission hall, with only a few people coming and going.

The front is a three-story stone building with a plaque that reads "Arsenal" hanging above the door.

The lobby on the first floor was spacious, with rows of tall wooden shelves standing against the wall, but the shelves were empty and there were no secret manuals on display.

In the center of the hall stood several huge white jade screens, their surfaces shimmering with light and displaying lines of clear text—a list of items that could be exchanged.

Wu Feng approached and examined the list closely. It was categorized into: martial arts manuals, weapons and armor, elixirs, and miscellaneous items.

He first clicked on the martial arts manuals section.

The light screen swirled, revealing a dense array of items:

Shaolin Long Fist (Third-rate Fist Technique) - Contribution Points: 120

【Five Tigers Severing the Gate Saber (Third-rate Saber Technique) - Contribution Points: 150】

【Qingcheng Swordplay (Third-rate Swordplay) - Contribution Points: 180】

[Breathing Technique (Third-rate Internal Skill) - Contribution Points: 200]

[Iron Shirt (Third-rate Martial Arts) - Contribution Points: 220]

【Wind Chasing Step (Third-rate Lightness Skill) - Contribution Points: 250】

【Vajra Palm (Second-rate Palm Technique) - Contribution Points: 1500】

【Like a Shadow Leg (Second-rate Leg Technique) - Contribution Points: 1800】

【Pinching Flower Finger (Second-rate Finger Technique) - Contribution Points: 2000】

【Arhat Fist (Second-rate Fist Technique) - Contribution Points: 1200】

【Tiger-Taming Fist (Second-rate Fist Technique) - Contribution Points: 1300】

【Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada (Second-rate Lightness Skill) - Contribution Points: 2200】

[Minor Formless Skill (Fragment - First-Class Internal Skill) - Contribution Points: 100000 (Requires Commander or higher privileges)]

【White Rainbow Palm Force (Fragment - First-Class Palm Technique) - Contribution Points: 80000 (Requires Commander or higher authority)】

【Cold Sleeves Sweeping Acupoints (First-Class Technique) - Contribution Points: 60000 (Requires Centurion or higher privileges)】

【Soul-Searching Technique via Voice Transmission (Special) - Contribution Points: 50000 (Requires Centurion or higher privileges)】

……

There are over a hundred different kinds! From the lowest level of third-rate fist and foot techniques to second-rate martial arts from various schools, and even first-rate martial arts marked as "incomplete"!

Although the contribution points required for those top-tier martial arts are astronomical and all have job authority requirements, at least the price is clearly stated there.

For most players, it's also a dream and a goal to strive for.

Wu Feng's gaze swept over them, and he felt a chill run down his spine.

The armory of this tavern was indeed as diverse and abundant as rumored.

The martial arts of various schools, such as Shaolin, Qingcheng, and the Five Tigers, are all included. Although most of them are only of low to medium level, the system is relatively complete.

Those first-rate fragments are inextricably linked to Li Qiushui.

Xiao Wuxiang Gong, Baihong Palm Force, Hanxiu Fuxue, and Chuanyin Souhun... these are all her signature martial arts skills.

Although it is a fragment, its value is immeasurable.

What caught his attention even more was a few lines of small print at the bottom of the list: "Contribution points can be obtained by completing tasks, submitting supplies, and earning rewards for meritorious service. Reaching the rank of 'Centurion' unlocks the exchange privileges for all second-rate and lower-level martial arts in the armory; reaching the rank of 'Chief' unlocks the exchange privileges for all martial arts (including fragments). Special item exchanges may require additional conditions."

"A centurion... can be exchanged for any second-rate or lower." Wu Feng narrowed his eyes. This threshold wasn't particularly high, nor was it particularly low.

For ordinary players, accumulating enough contribution points to advance to centurion is by no means easy.

But for him, there might be a shortcut.

He then browsed the list of weapons and elixirs. The weapons ranged from ordinary iron swords to standard blue-quality weapons, while the elixirs were mostly common types for healing, restoring energy, and detoxification. The contribution point requirements weren't too high, but compared to martial arts manuals, they were much less attractive.

After reviewing all the lists, Wu Feng had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Third-rate martial arts skills cost 100 to 300 contribution points, second-rate martial arts skills cost 1,000 to 3,000 contribution points, and first-rate incomplete skills cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of contribution points.

Contributions are mainly earned through tasks and contributions.

Promotion is the key to unlocking advanced exchange privileges.

"Looks like I need to find a way to become a centurion as soon as possible." He left the armory and began to make plans.

Simply relying on handing over meat to complete small tasks is too slow; we must find a way that contributes more and is more efficient.

Perhaps... we could look into some special missions or use some unconventional methods.

He returned to the mission hall, walked to the counter, took out one hundred neatly arranged and cleaned wolf meat pieces from his backpack, and piled them on the counter.

"Turn in the quest and collect supplies."

The clerk summoned two servants to count the items. After confirming that everything was correct, he picked up the black stone tablet and touched it against Wu Feng's wooden waist token once more.

The waist token flickered with a faint light, and Wu Feng vaguely felt a weak energy flowing into the stone token. At the same time, it seemed that a faint connection had been established between himself and the waist token.

"One hundred servings of wolf meat, ten contribution points. Recorded." The clerk said matter-of-factly, marking a line in the register.

Wu Feng took the waist token and tried to sense it.

Sure enough, there seemed to be a very faint stream of information inside the waist tag, showing "Contribution: 10".

This waist tag turned out to be a simple storage device used to display contributions.

"Excuse me, once I have enough contribution points, where do I go to get promoted?" Wu Feng put away his waist token and asked again.

The clerk pointed to a corridor behind the mission hall: "Walk to the end of that corridor, turn right, and there's an assessment office. If your contributions meet the requirements, go there for verification, and you can be promoted."

"Thank you." Wu Feng nodded, asked no more questions, and turned to leave the mission hall.

Ten points of contribution are a drop in the ocean; a more efficient approach is needed.

Walking through the bustling headquarters of Yipintang, he seemed to be strolling around casually, but his sharp eyes swept over the passages, guard posts, and signs everywhere.

At the entrances of some courtyards that lead deeper into the area and are much more heavily guarded, there are signs that read "No Trespassing" or "Important Area".

It is estimated that the place is the residence of high-ranking officials, a confidential location, or a secret vault containing valuable materials.

Wu Feng wisely refrained from approaching, instead strolling slowly through the permitted public areas, secretly memorizing the road layout and the patterns of pedestrian movement.

Now that you've successfully infiltrated and figured out the ropes, it's time to patiently cultivate the business.

The waters of the Western Xia capital were deeper and more murky than he had imagined.

But murky waters are good for catching fish.

He pulled his straw hat down, his figure disappearing into the endless stream of people on the street.

When we left the headquarters of Yipintang, the sun had just passed noon.

Wu Feng did not return to the inn, but went straight out of the city gate of Xingqing Prefecture.

Outside the city stretched an endless wasteland, with sparse camel thorns and reeds swaying in the wind, and low hills rising and falling in the distance.

He determined the direction and headed towards a more desolate, sparsely populated valley to the northeast.

We need to find a secluded place.

Practicing martial arts in the city is restrictive, and although there are players and NPCs outside the city, you can always avoid being seen if you find a secluded spot. More importantly, the meat, fur, and miscellaneous materials dropped by monsters are needed to complete the "Gathering Supplies" quest. It's killing two birds with one stone.
