Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

Chapter 535: Chapter 199: Flying Petals and Leaves, Transcendent Methods_3

[Ability Points: 693]

[Transcendent Skills: Heaven and Earth Natural Technique Second Layer +6, Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Step +5]

Due to the New Year festivities, having many family members at home, living in the village, and also being under surveillance, Zhang Beixing hadn’t had much time for his martial arts training. As a result, over all these days, he had only managed to accumulate five hundred Ability Points.

It might have seemed like a lot.

In reality, this was only because Zhang Beixing had been hoarding them and hadn’t spent many on upgrades.

If Zhang Beixing were to start enhancing his skills, those over six hundred Ability Points would be spent in no time.

His Heaven and Earth Natural Technique alone, which was already at the Second Layer and required twenty attribute points per increment, would not even be maxed out if he threw all six hundred Ability Points at it. Not to mention his Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Step, which cost ten Ability Points per upgrade, and his Three-Dimensional Attributes, which required three Ability Points per improvement.

Added together, it amounted to quite a hefty sum.

Money’s still tight!

Zhang Beixing lamented.

But his actions didn’t pause for a second.

He clicked furiously, adding points to his Mental Attribute.

Zhang Beixing’s Ability Points visibly and rapidly dwindled.

Correspondingly, his Mental Attribute kept increasing.

180...

185...

190...

195...

Zhang Beixing only stopped when his Mental Attribute reached 200 and his Ability Points balance had plummeted to 633.

Firstly, adding twenty points at once was already the limit of what he could currently handle. Any more, and it would be too much to bear; he wouldn’t be able to sleep for three days.

Secondly, the System also prevented him from adding more.

More than a month after reaching the Transcendent realm, Zhang Beixing had finally maxed out his Mental Attribute!

Seeing the ’+’ sign next to his Mental Attribute on the panel dim from its usual bright state, Zhang Beixing understood that to upgrade further, he would also need to raise his Power and Constitution attributes.

So, it’s gone from requiring an increase of ten points for each stage to fifty points for the next stage, huh? Not too shabby!

This much larger attribute gap would give him ample time to grind for Ability Points.

Every time Zhang Beixing upgraded and advanced to the next stage, the System would adjust the difficulty and rewards of his tasks based on his situation, causing the Ability Points earned from completing tasks to decrease.

Previously, all attributes advanced to the next stage every ten points. This was quite hectic, leaving Zhang Beixing little time to farm Ability Points.

Now that the upgrade cycle was longer, Zhang Beixing could farm more.

This change was quite good.

Zhang Beixing was just about to say, This is the most humane the System has ever been, but then a thought struck him.

Damn it, something’s not right!

It was undeniable that the more he improved, the more Ability Points he would need. However, the System’s task rewards had been capped at a maximum of ten Ability Points so far.

Even now, by completing ’S+’ grade recommended tasks at the Unbreakable Extraordinary Divine Sight stage, his progress was still this slow.

What about later then? Won’t it be even slower?

If it were still like that, with the System changing things every ten points, I would have exploded long ago!

But now that it changes every fifty points, I have to praise this System for finally acting human for once. Though, truth be told, the difference isn’t that significant...

Crap, I’m being conditioned to accept this grind as a ’blessing’!

Damn System, so this is where you were waiting for me, huh? You really deserve to die!

Realizing he was the frog in gradually warming water, Zhang Beixing began to curse at the System relentlessly.

In response, the System remained completely unfazed, as if Zhang Beixing’s curses were nothing more than a gentle breeze on a mountainside.

Furious, Zhang Beixing stormed off to eat.

He decided to channel his grief and indignation into his appetite; today, he would eat enough for three pigs!

Zhang Beixing sat in the dining hall, wolfing down his food.

Watching him demolish, in a mere ten minutes, an amount of food an ordinary person would take two days to eat, Zheng Jituo, sitting opposite him, couldn’t help but be astonished, even though he and the others already knew about Zhang Beixing’s massive appetite.

”Damn... Lao Zhang, the stray dogs in your area must like you a lot, right?”

Looking at the plate, which was as clean as if it had been licked spotless, Zheng Jituo gulped and stared at Zhang Beixing.

Hearing this, Zhang Beixing, who was feigning picking his teeth with a toothpick while actually using his Postnatal Five Qi to clear out food debris, raised an eyebrow at Zheng Jituo. ”They’re alright. Why do you ask?”

”It’s nothing. I was just thinking, seeing how much you eat, the amount you crap out in one go must be enough to...”

Zheng Jituo said with great enthusiasm, completely oblivious that as he spoke, Jin Linyu, who was sitting beside him eating curry rice, had his expression turn utterly foul. He looked at his curry rice, then at Zheng Jituo.

”Zheng Jituo, you motherfucker!”

With this furious roar, Jin Linyu immediately swung his palm in a wide arc, aiming a slap at Zheng Jituo.

Dong Guoning also glanced at the stir-fried fatty intestines in his bowl, fell silent for a moment, then chose to join the fray.

Zhang Beixing’s mouth twitched. Nice one. Then he walked over and gave Zheng Jituo a couple of kicks.

This disgusting bastard. How dare you bring this up while everyone’s eating? Die!

Zheng Jituo yelled, ”Help! Murder!!!”

After a ’friendly exchange’ with Zheng Jituo, although Zhang Beixing had vented some frustration, his appetite had completely vanished.
