The Ming Dynasty's henchmen, working from nine to five

Chapter 100 An Unexpected Surprise

"Upgrading the 'Demon-Subduing and Prison-Suppressing Heart Sutra' from LV15 to LV30 actually consumed 600 skill points!"

"This technique has 100 more points than the second-grade divine skill 'Catching the Azure Dragon,' meaning it's far more complex than it appears on the surface."

Previously, when Zhang Xian gave him the Subduing Demons and Suppressing Prison Heart Sutra at the Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters, he only said that this technique could calm the mind, eliminate distracting thoughts, and increase the success rate of breaking through to the third level of the realm and condensing divine consciousness.

But Shen Lang's physical sensations at this moment were completely different.

Once that seed has fully condensed his spiritual power, he might be able to cultivate divine sense without needing to break through to the third rank!

Such an exaggerated technique is simply astonishing!

"I remember that when this technique was first included, there was no prompt similar to 'Catching the Azure Dragon'."

"Catching the Azure Dragon is an advanced workplace skill. Successfully acquiring it unlocks a milestone reward."

"And this 'Subduing Demons and Suppressing Prison Heart Sutra'"

'

Shen Lang glanced at the skill point consumption details, and his gaze suddenly sharpened.

"145 skill points... Upgrading the 'Subduing Demons and Suppressing Prisons Sutra' from LV1 to LV15 only cost 145 skill points?!"

Shen Lang was taken aback and continued flipping through the pages.

"Catching the Azure Dragon" costs 300 skill points from LV1 to LV15, and 500 skill points from LV15 to LV30. The skill point consumption for this technique is not a problem." He silently calculated in his mind.

Having been in this world for three years, he has learned over a hundred martial arts techniques, dozens of which are at level ten or higher. With a quick estimate, he had a good idea of ​​the number.

"Since 'capturing the Azure Dragon' is not a problem, then the problem lies with this 'Subduing Demons and Suppressing Prisons Heart Sutra'."

「LV1到LV15消耗145点，LV15到LV30却消耗600点..

'

A glint of light flashed in Shen Lang's eyes, and he had a vague guess in his heart that this cultivation technique was incomplete!

The reason why the last 15 levels consumed so much energy is because the system helped him complete the incomplete cultivation technique!

Thinking of this, Shen Lang suddenly became somewhat unsettled.

He originally thought that after the incomplete cultivation technique was collected, the level he could reach would depend entirely on the completeness of the technique.

Unexpectedly, this system was so powerful that it could create something from nothing. This greatly shocked Shen Lang, and at the same time, his heart was suddenly filled with excitement!

You should know that there is a fragmented "ultimate skill" waiting for him in the Zhenwu Pavilion of the Embroidered Uniform Guard!

Originally, I only wanted to learn one or two levels to experience the power of ultimate skills and supernatural abilities, but now I have the opportunity to see the whole picture!

If his guess is true, then it means that he has unlocked an incredible new way to play!

"Incomplete high-grade cultivation techniques are much easier to obtain than complete ones."

If this path can be successfully followed, then he will never have to worry about cultivation techniques again!

Shen Lang's breathing suddenly became more rapid, and his eyes were filled with anticipation!

The only drawback of this plan is that it consumes too many skill points, but every little bit counts, and overall the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

After all, skill points are earned every day, but high-level techniques are rare and hard to come by.

"My main task going forward is to work hard on projects and accumulate skill points!"

Looking at the remaining skill points displayed in the last column of the virtual panel: "296", Shen Lang secretly set a new stage goal.

In the next month, I'll earn at least 1000 points!

"The Jing'an Prince's Mansion is truly my lucky place; everything I need comes to me."

"I just don't know if this part-time job will trigger any workplace tasks recognized by the system?"

If nothing unexpected happens, Princess Jing'an's "customer satisfaction" should be able to be maxed out. If workplace tasks are triggered, along with sign-in rewards, the skill points gained will be considerable.

"Once I've completed the promotion procedures at the Embroidered Uniform Guard, I'll immediately begin to try it out."

Shen Lang had previously promised Princess Jing'an that once things settled down, he would avenge her and settle scores with those who had bullied her.

Now that he has been promoted, this matter can be officially put on the agenda!

According to normal classification standards, these things should be categorized as part-time job duties, since he is relieving the employer's worries.

But his system is a bit erratic, and it's unclear how it will be defined; we can only try it and see.

Shen Lang snapped out of his thoughts, his expression turning slightly regretful.

Today, he planned to upgrade all four of his main skills: "Catching the Azure Dragon," "Subduing Demons and Suppressing Prisons," "Arresting and Solving Cases," and "Torture and Interrogation."

However, due to unforeseen circumstances and changes in plans, it became impossible to continue.

While the skills "torture to extract confessions" and "apprehend and solve cases" have incredibly powerful effects, they do not contribute much to his martial arts level.

The most urgent task now is to improve one's martial arts level as soon as possible; everything else can be put aside for now.

The reason for this is that he has an extremely clear understanding of his current situation.

Emperor Jiajing's imperial edict both saved his life and promoted him, and on the surface everything seemed perfect.

But in reality, there are undercurrents and dangers lurking everywhere.

Yan Dang, Qingliu, Zhenguo Gong...

He had offended almost all the key figures in the court, the powerful ministers and nobles whose names were known.

Given their style, once they get the chance, they'll definitely get rid of him as quickly as possible.

Although the Embroidered Uniform Guard seems to be on his side at present, they are, after all, an external force, and he cannot place all his hopes on them.

Therefore, improving our strength is of utmost urgency!

"Less than 300 skill points left, can't make any more moves."

The "Sinking Jade Skill" that he is currently practicing is just a standard skill of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and its grade is too low, only slightly better than martial arts from the Jianghu.

Simply switching to a similar, entry-level cultivation technique would allow for a qualitative leap. Tomorrow he had to return to the government office to report, and after receiving his orders...

After contributing and exchanging your skills at the Zhenwu Pavilion, you can get another huge boost!

Shen Lang glanced one last time at the two glaring "v15" signs after "torture and forced confession" and "arrest and case handling," and resisted the urge to add points, then closed the virtual panel.

The thrill of leveling up by adding skill points is so intense that it's easy to get hooked, but skill points are scarce these days, so we have to be careful with our spending and prioritize more cost-effective options.

After tidying up the courtyard, Shen Lang went out to the market and bought ten catties of flatbread and ten catties of braised meat.

After the initial excitement of breaking through to a higher realm subsided, a strong sense of hunger surged through him, and he felt as if every cell in his body was roaring.

After quickly finishing the dinner I bought, I started to feel tired and sleepiness crept over me uncontrollably.

The elephant training center has acquired a new elephant for the royal celebration in two weeks. Qin Erniu is working overtime to prepare for it and will be staying there for the next few days, so there's no need to leave the door open for him.

Shen Lang yawned, locked the door, and went back to his room to rest.

"Tell the garrison commander tomorrow to transfer Erniu to my place as soon as possible. I don't know what strange things Jin Chuan is up to, so it's best to stay away from him to be on the safe side."

A commander of the Imperial Guard can oversee six smaller banners. Shen Lang's contribution this time is considerable, earning him a place on the list.

Gu Qin Erniu should be fine.

When he gets promoted, he'll send Erniu back to Lin'an and bring Qin Dasao's whole family over.

To not return home in wealth and honor is like wearing fine clothes at night—truly a waste!
