Online Game: Me, with Unparalleled Comprehension

Wu Changfeng glanced at the task list and saw that he had collected ten bandit tokens, but he didn't stop.

His gaze fell on the few copper coins left behind after the bandit's body disappeared. He bent down to pick them up, feeling the weight of the coins in his palm.

On the first day of a server launch, the exchange rate between in-game currency and real-world currency is usually the most outrageous, especially for a virtual reality blockbuster like "Jianghu Dream" with its overwhelming advertising and massive player base, where the price of in-game currency can absolutely skyrocket.

Going back to the village to turn in the quest now will only get you some experience and possibly a piece of equipment.

But compared to the immediate reward, hoarding copper coins while gold prices are at their highest and reselling them to studios or wealthy players eager to gain an advantage is the real way to make your first pot of gold.

Moreover, learning martial arts costs money, buying weapons costs money, and you can't do anything without money in the future.

You can learn basic staff techniques from Wang Hu, and there are even more options on Li the blacksmith's weapon rack.

You can get attribute points by practicing, but you have to save up every penny here and now to get the starting capital.

A mission? No rush.

Following the typical pattern of online games, as you progress through this bandit-clearing quest chain, you'll either encounter bandit leaders or venture deeper into Black Wind Ravine, where the monsters' levels and attributes will definitely increase.

With his current attributes, relying on his perfected basic swordsmanship and rapidly increasing fist and palm skills, he might be able to fight, but his efficiency would inevitably decrease, and he might even have to take drugs, which would be a losing proposition.

Why not just stay on the outskirts and treat these level 3-4 scouts as a mine for experience and money, and dig them out thoroughly?

Mastering fist and palm techniques to perfection, obtaining all attribute bonuses, and having a stronger foundation before tackling the mission is the most reliable and steady approach.

With his mind clear, Wu Changfeng no longer hesitated and his eyes locked onto a knife-wielding bandit that had just spawned not far away.

He slipped and stepped forward to meet them.

When the bandit saw someone charging at him alone, he grinned maliciously and swung his knife to slash.

Wu Changfeng neither dodged nor evaded; his right fist flew out like a cannonball, a simple straight punch that struck his opponent's chest with tremendous force despite being launched later.

-46!

The bandit froze, his sinister smile turning into pain.

Wu Changfeng didn't give him a chance to catch his breath. He followed up with his left palm, pushing and shoving, with two muffled thuds.

-41! -39!

The bandit's health bar was depleted, and he turned into a white light, leaving behind seven copper coins and a small piece of dry rations.

[Basic boxing proficiency +126.]

[Basic palm technique proficiency +126.]

The system notification followed him closely. Wu Changfeng didn't even glance at it, picked up the copper coins and dry rations, stuffed them into his pack, and turned to pounce on another target.

Is it boring? It really is. It's just the same old routine of luring monsters, punching, striking, and picking up items.

But the surge in proficiency after each attack, and the tangible feeling of the heat and attribute boost that would flood my body every now and then when my proficiency was full, washed away all the boredom.

He was like a tireless beast, roaming among the rocks and bushes on the outskirts of Black Wind Pass.

[Basic Palm Techniques (Perfect 10150/10000)]

They reached the summit almost simultaneously.

Wu Changfeng took a deep breath, suppressing his anticipation. "An upgrade!"

First came the fist technique. A scorching torrent exploded from his dantian, surging along his meridians to his fists, the knuckles making a faint cracking sound, as if they were being reforged.

In my mind, countless fist shadows came one after another, straight, swing, hook... The simplest moves were broken down and combined, giving rise to countless subtle possibilities of force exertion, change of direction, and connection, and finally all streams converged into a kind of imprinted bodily instinct.

[System Notification: Congratulations! Your "Basic Boxing Techniques" has broken through to the highest level—Great Perfection!]

[Basic Fist Techniques (Great Perfection). Arm Strength +18, Agility +8, Damage increased by 12% when using fist-type martial arts, and resistance to blows slightly improved.]

Before the heat had subsided, breakthroughs in palm techniques followed one after another.

A cool yet heavy aura swirled around my arms, especially around the edges of my palms, where the skin seemed to have become slightly tougher.

Pushing, slapping, cutting, flicking... all kinds of palm techniques flow like mercury, naturally blending together. Wherever the mind moves, the palm arrives first.

[System Notification: Congratulations! Your Basic Palm Technique has broken through to the highest level—Great Perfection!]

[Basic Palm Technique (Great Perfection). Arm Strength +20, Constitution +5. When using palm-type martial arts, damage is increased by 10%. Has a slight penetrating effect on the enemy's protective aura (if present).]

Two massive heat currents intertwined and subsided within the body.

Wu Changfeng stood still, silently experiencing the earth-shaking changes.

His arms were brimming with explosive power, and his body coordination, flexibility, and even the stability of his lower body were all significantly improved.

If his previous mastery of swordsmanship gave him "a sharp weapon in hand," then his current mastery of fists and palms has completely transformed him into a "human weapon," with every part of his body capable of being used as a weapon.

He opened the character panel and looked at the attribute bar.

【臂力：15（基础）+15（剑法）+18（拳法）+20（掌法）= 67】

[Agility: 15 (Basic) + 5 (Sword Technique) + 8 (Fist Technique) = 27]

[Physical constitution: 15 (basic) + 5 (palm technique) = 19]

The mere mastery of three basic external martial arts skills granted him a total of 71 extra attribute points! And that doesn't even include the percentage bonuses.

Reaching level 5 only brings a paltry increase in basic attributes. The difference in value is obvious.

Wu Changfeng clenched his fist, the air squeezing between his fingers making a soft sound.

He now had a feeling that he could easily tear these bandits apart with his bare hands, even without weapons.

Just as he was about to continue searching for targets and convert the new attributes gained after perfecting his fist and palm techniques into a more efficient money-making speed, he kicked a hard object.

Looking down, he saw a weapon left behind by the thief with the stick after he disappeared, besides the copper coins—a long, narrow single-edged sword with some rust, but the blade had a faint glint of cold light.

[Obtained: Scalpel (White). Attack +5-8. Durability 22/35.]

I was lucky; I got a knife, and its attack power is slightly higher than that of an iron sword.
