I have an attribute panel

"Nephew Chu, with your basic internal strength, you have indeed met the standard for cultivating Qi Gong. However, your understanding of reading and writing is lacking. Please go to the study to improve your reading and writing skills!" In the main hall of the Golden Bull Martial Arts School, Zhu Yu stood with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face, saying to Chu Ming.

"As expected, the standard for learning Qi Gong is actually the maximum level of basic internal strength. The difficulty has increased by too much!" Chu Ming thought to himself upon hearing this.

Every ten levels of his basic internal strength, he would come to Zhu Yu to ask to learn a qigong technique. Zhu Yu's wording went from "severely inadequate" to "insufficient" to "lacking" to "negligible" to "not even a fraction" until now, when Chu Ming had reached the maximum level, he finally met the learning standard.

However, Chu Ming has only reached the basic level of internal strength; he still lacks in reading and writing.

Chu Ming felt there was nothing wrong with this setting. After all, even if an illiterate person were given a copy of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, he would definitely not be able to understand it, let alone cultivate it.

According to the game's settings, one can only learn to read and write up to level 30 here. Chu Ming thought that level 30 in reading and writing should be the standard for Qi Gong.

In this game, the initial levels of basic skills require very little proficiency; you can quickly reach level 30.

He went straight to the study and began his reading. It is worth mentioning that in the game, Madam Zhu's letter was hidden in the bookshelf. After the game became a reality, Chu Ming tried to find it, but to no avail.

In the game, players simply need to click to search, but in reality, there are several rows of actual bookshelves.

Chu Ming started flipping through the book. With each page he turned, a line of text popped up in the system panel: "Reading and literacy experience +1". It was so much easier than jumping into the pond.

However, Chu Ming's physical strength was depleted very quickly. If he hadn't already maxed out his basic internal energy cultivation, he probably would have had to meditate to recover his strength after finishing a book.

In the game, flipping through books consumes health points; in reality, it still consumes stamina.

Chu Ming was speechless at this setting.

It has to be said that his wisest choice was to focus on mastering basic internal skills first, which would save him a lot of recovery time when he was learning other skills later.

At the same time, Chu Ming also discovered that his physical strength recovery speed had increased significantly, which should be due to the cleansing and purification effects.

The suffering we endured has finally paid off.

Chu Ming originally thought his school life would end soon, but when he reached level 30 in reading and writing and excitedly went to Zhu Yu to learn Qigong, he received this reply: "Nephew Chu, your reading and writing skills are still lacking. If you want to learn Qigong, please continue to improve your reading and writing level."

At that moment, a bad premonition suddenly welled up in Chu Ming's heart. This damn game, after being brought to reality, actually changed its settings.

Five days later, Chu Ming finally reached level 100 in reading and writing. Eighteen days had passed, leaving Chu Ming with only twelve days left.

Reading and literacy maxed out (+10 Spirit activation max level effect, calming the mind)

In an instant, Chu Ming felt his mind become incredibly clear, with countless flashes of inspiration in his mind. Although his thinking had become more and more active and his memory had become better as his mental attributes improved, the increase was far less significant than it was this time.

Chu Ming felt that if he were to return to reality now, he would definitely be a model of a top student. If he had this kind of brainpower when he was in high school, he would definitely have been the top scorer in the college entrance examination that year.

Chu Ming used to think that the feats of those great men who could learn eight languages ​​on their own were simply superhuman. But now, he felt that he could do the same.

Reading really can increase intelligence!

In the study, Chu Ming looked at everything and felt that the world was so clear that he could even see the dust floating in the air and predict the trajectory of the dust particles.

This ability made Chu Ming feel a little excited, and he wished he could level up his reading and writing skills by another hundred levels.

Reaching level 100 in basic internal skills only made Chu Ming feel stronger, but reaching level 100 in reading and writing made him feel like he used to be nothing more than a monkey!

"Nephew Chu, you have already met the requirements for the First Qi Gong. I will now pass on the First Qi Gong to you." In the hall, Zhu Yu stood with his hands behind his back, speaking calmly.

"Zhu Yu is going to teach you a Qi Gong technique. Do you want to learn it?" A message appeared on the system panel.

"Study!" Chu Ming conveyed this thought.

The next instant, Chu Ming felt a sudden heat in his dantian, followed by a warm current that started from his dantian, circulated along his eight extraordinary meridians, and returned to his dantian after completing one cycle.

At the same time, many things suddenly appeared in Chu Ming's mind, namely the cultivation method of Qi Gong.

This is internal strength.

Chu Ming was overjoyed to have finally mastered the Qi Gong technique he had always dreamed of!

Chu Ming opened the system panel.

"Activate energy attribute, internal force."

"Due to the influence of max-level basic internal skill, the level of Qi Gong increases by 10."

"One Qi Gong level 10 + 1 Internal Force"

"Internal energy cultivation! I've finally mastered internal energy cultivation!"

Feeling the powerful internal energy circulating within his body, Chu Ming finally smiled.

Why did he work so hard day and night, exhausting his liver and kidneys? It was all for the sake of gaining internal energy!

He has finally succeeded!

With 530 potential points remaining, Chu Ming didn't waste them. He directly consulted Zhu Yu and used them on his Qi Gong, bringing it to level eleven.

Chu Ming then went directly to the water room, approached the water room manager, triggered a dialogue, and used the system's inventory function to take advantage of the manager's unpreparedness and kill him with a single blow.

Before mastering the One Qi Gong, Chu Ming wasn't entirely confident in dealing with the water room manager, but now that he had mastered the One Qi Gong and gained a year's worth of internal energy, Chu Ming channeled his internal energy and killed him with a single strike.

This was the first time Chu Ming had ever killed someone, but he didn't feel much emotion. Perhaps it was the effect of calming his mind, perhaps it was because this was just a low-intelligence NPC, perhaps he had already made up his mind in the previous eighteen days, or perhaps it was because he didn't want to die. So after swinging this knife, he was very calm.

It was as calm and simple as eating and drinking.

System Log:

"Killing cuts off karma, seeking death clarifies the mind, Willpower +1."

Ignoring the anomalies on the system panel, Chu Ming immediately began his quest to farm points.

It's worth mentioning here that in the game's setting, because it's a text-based game, players only need to click to get water. However, in reality, a bucket appears next to the pool, and when Chu Ming puts the bucket into the backpack that was attached to the water room manager's corpse, the bucket instantly respawns.

Seeing that the bug was still there, Chu Ming finally relaxed. From now on, all he had to do was grind!

While grinding for points in a game might be a bit tedious, in real life, the feeling of clearly seeing yourself getting stronger little by little is incredibly fun.

The idea that you can become stronger by grinding hard might only exist in this game-like instance.
