NOVEL NEXT Chapter 2: System Functions
Xiao Ling went back in the evening. She had to make some preparations for going out hunting the day after tomorrow, so she did not stay for dinner.
Xiao Yu also had time to think about his future plans.
After a whole afternoon of chatting, he learned enough about the wilderness and understood a lot about the dangers of monsters. He knew more about the wilderness in his previous life and predecessor through texts. Although his father Xiao Dingguo also often went in and out of the wilderness, he rarely mentioned specific details to his family.
Since I was brought into this world by the Soul Stone, I must live well regardless of whether there is a special reason or not.
The Earth will experience many deadly crises in the future. Although it has been able to survive each time in the novel, now that I, the butterfly, have arrived, I wonder if the flapping of my wings will cause some changes. In order to prevent that from happening, I must become stronger quickly.
According to the data from his previous tests at the Xiao Family Martial Arts School, his strength was only 780 kilograms and his speed was only 22 meters per second.
His physical fitness is quite different from that of Luo Feng today, not to mention Luo Feng after he possessed the plug-in.
Fortunately, I also have a plug-in - the wish fulfillment system.
I thought to myself: "System, are all the previous functions still there?"
[The system is not fully functional, please explore all functions by yourself! ]
"The system opens the personal panel."
...
no response.
"Perhaps the system's functions were seriously missing when the soul traveled through time, so let's try the core functions of the original version when we first obtained this system."
Xiao Yu recalled the initial situation of the wish fulfillment system.
"Set the first wish to achieve the physical fitness of the first apprentice level."
The first-level apprentice of Devouring Stars is also the junior warrior level among warriors, with a punching force of 900KG and a speed of 25m/s.
[Setting successful! ]
[Host: Xiao Yu]
[Host's first wish: to become a first-level apprentice. ]
[Wish fulfillment status: 0/100 wish points. ]
"Set the second wish to awaken spiritual talent."
[unknown mistake!]
[Unable to complete the second wish setting! ]
"Alright! This function is really incomplete! I can't even set a second wish. Fortunately, I can still set the first wish."
"System, open the portable space."
...
After trying all the basic functions, I found that only the first wish can be set, and other functions such as the mall and lottery cannot be used.
"System, eat the apple in my hand." Xiao Yu picked up a two-pound Red Fuji apple from the fruit plate on the coffee table and said silently in his heart.
...
He was stunned for a long time without any reaction.
He remembered that even when it was first obtained, the wish-fulfilling system could devour everything to gain wish points. He also speculated that the wish-fulfilling system should actually be called the equivalent exchange system.
Wish points are actually similar to energy points. Even law-related items and abilities can be exchanged for wish points.
Now that he cannot devour the apple, it means that the energy contained in the apple is not what he needs to fulfill this wish.
Then try experimenting with other things one by one.
For example, the sofa under your butt, the battery pack in the new energy vehicle, the delicious monster meat in the refrigerator...
After testing one by one, it was found that only monster meat could be swallowed.
He had previously taken out a two-kilogram piece of monster meat and obtained 0.2 wish points.
Since the monster meat at home is all of the same variety, it is currently impossible to figure out the exchange ratio between monster meat and wish points. Currently, ten kilograms of monster meat can be exchanged for 1 wish point.
In this case, it means that I just need to go out and buy a thousand kilograms of monster meat to fulfill the conditions for fulfilling my wish.
"Xiao Yu, come and have dinner!" Xu Jingyi brought a plate of stir-fried pork with green peppers from the kitchen and placed it in a corner of the square table in the dining room. The square table was two meters long and wide, and was already filled with various dishes.
"Mom, you cooked so many dishes! It's so delicious!"
Xiao Yu came to the kitchen and looked at the sumptuous dishes. His appetite was immediately aroused. He picked up the rice and started eating.
"Xiaoyu, eat so fast! Don't choke."
"The food my mother cooked is delicious!" Xiao Yu praised while eating.
"If it's delicious, eat more!"
"Just now when I was cooking, your dad sent me a message saying that he would be back tomorrow afternoon. He was very happy to hear that you were awake!"
"Great!"
In Xiao Yu's memory, Xiao Dingguo has always been a strict father. Although there is not much communication between the two, his deep love for him is revealed in those few words and actions.
The next morning, Xiao Yu made an excuse and went out.
He was driving the Mercedes-Benz S500 SUV, which he rarely drove. It was a gift from his father on his eighteenth birthday.
Use your phone's navigation to find the nearest market that sells monster meat.
The shop selling monster meat is located at the main entrance of the vegetable market. It has an excellent location and elegant decoration. Although there are not many customers coming in and out, each of them is well-dressed.
As soon as he entered, Xiao Yu saw rows of glass refrigerators with plates of monster meat neatly arranged.
Some are cut into pieces, while others are cut into rolls, neatly arranged in exquisite transparent plastic boxes.
"Welcome to Bi's store. How can I help you?" A young female waitress in uniform saw Xiao Yu enter the store and looked at the various monster meats, then walked in and started her service work.
"I want to buy some monster meat."
"Sir, we have various monster meats from G-grade to C-grade. The price of each type of monster meat is different. Which one would you like to buy?"
Xiao Yu only knew that some monster meat was edible before, but he was not clear about its specific effects and prices. However, he also understood that the higher the level of the monster meat, the higher the price.
"Can you give me a brief introduction?"
"Okay sir, as for G-level monster meat, it has the most varieties and the cheapest price. Generally, the price of one pound is between 1 and 100. The price of F-level monster meat is between 200 and 200. The price of E-level monster meat is between 400 and 500. The price of D-level monster meat is between 1000 and 1000. The price of C-level monster meat is between 2000 and 2000."
"As for higher-level monster meat, our store doesn't have any at the moment!"
In the Devouring Star, B-level monsters are primary lord-level monsters, which are equivalent to primary war gods of humans. It is normal for ordinary stores selling monster meat to be out of stock.
Xiao Yu thought about it. Previously, due to the limited stock of monster meat at home, he was unable to test the absorption effect of the system. Now he could buy some of each kind and experiment.
"Every level should bring 10 kilograms!"
The young waitress frowned. She had never met such a customer before, but she didn't think much about it. With this order, her performance target for the week was achieved ahead of schedule.
"Sir, there are many types of monster meat at each level, such as G-level iron-haired wild boar, shadow cat, etc...."
"Then go with the lowest price at each level."
He didn't intend to eat the monster meat, so he didn't care about the taste.
"Okay sir, let me do the math. 10 kilograms of G-grade shadow cat meat costs 2000 Chinese coins, 10 kilograms of F-grade shadow cat meat costs 4000 Chinese coins, 10 kilograms of E-grade iron-haired wild boar costs 1 Chinese coins, 3 kilograms of D-grade iron-haired wild boar costs 10 Chinese coins, and 5 kilograms of C-grade iron-haired wild boar costs 96000 Chinese coins, totaling Chinese coins."
Before Xiao Yu went out, he took a memory card with him, which contained all his savings. It was the New Year's money and gifts he had received from his uncles and elders during the Chinese New Year and other festivals over the years, totaling about one and a half million yuan.
After paying, Xiao Yu entered the car carrying five bags, and placed 50 kilograms of monster meat on the passenger seat.
"System, absorb the monster meat separately."
[Absorb 10 kg of G-level shadow cat meat, gain 1 wish point. ]
[Absorb 10 kg of F-level shadow cat meat and gain 2 wish points. ]
[Absorb 10 kg of E-grade iron-haired wild boar meat and gain 4 wish points.]
[Absorb 10 kg of D-grade iron-haired wild boar meat and gain 6 wish points.]
[Absorb 10 kg of C-grade iron-haired wild boar meat and gain 8 wish points. ]
After this absorption, he gained a total of 21.2 wish points.
Based on the wish points obtained from absorbing these five levels of monster meat, as well as the money spent, it is obvious that absorbing F-level shadow cat meat is the most cost-effective.
According to the current price of this store, I still need to buy 16 kilograms of F-level shadow cat meat, which is about .
It's a lot less than what I had budgeted before.
In order to prevent others from noticing anything strange, Xiao Yu drove to another wholesale monster meat shop called Wanjia Meat Shop to buy it.
Under the strange gazes of the crowd, one thousand kilograms of F-level shadow cat meat was placed in the off-road vehicle.
The reason why I bought so much is that although the price at the wholesale store is cheap, the minimum selling weight is one thousand kilograms.
This ton of F-grade shadow cat meat cost him 36 Chinese yuan.
Absorbed all the shadow cat meat and gained a full 200 wish points.
[Congratulations! The conditions for your wish to come true have been met! You can make your wish come true at any time. ]
Xiao Yu, sitting in the car, was overjoyed. The first step to integrating into this world had been achieved.
"The system begins to realize the first wish."
[Wish fulfillment is in progress...]
Xiao Yu felt a warm current enveloping his whole body. His muscles became tighter and his mind became clearer.
Many punching techniques that I didn't understand before are now clear to me.
[Congratulations to the host for reaching the first-level apprentice standard! ]
Xiao Yu clenched his fist and felt that he could kill a cow with one punch. Of course, it was an ordinary cow before the apocalypse!
Driving towards the Xiao family martial arts gym, he couldn't wait to test his current strength. - Xiao Yu walked to the 'punch strength tester' placed in the corner and adjusted his breathing rhythm to make himself in the best condition.
In his previous life, he would adjust his state in this way before every sparring match, and the effect was quite good.
With each breath, his whole body relaxed. Suddenly, his eyes focused and he stood up like a lion. His spine was gathering strength like a full bow and he exerted force with his feet. Xiao Yu's right fist hit the punching force testing machine suddenly like a cannonball.
Make a huge noise! The boxing target shook violently.
A line of numbers appeared on the punch tester - '925KG'
"Xiao Yu, that's great! It's only been a short time, but you've already reached the assessment standards for quasi-warriors." Xiao Guoxuan said in admiration.
Xiao Guoxuan is Xiao Yu's third uncle and a junior warrior.
Five years ago, when the team went out hunting, they were besieged by a group of beasts led by a high-level beast. They won the battle at the cost of the lives of two team members. Xiao Guoxuan also lost his right hand as a result. Although he later installed a mechanical prosthesis which did not affect his life, he was ultimately unable to exert his full strength.
He also lost his desire to compete and returned to his family to be in charge of the operation of the martial arts school.
Last year, after my uncle became the God of War, I planned to buy him the Water of Life, but he refused.
"Uncle San, this is nothing. Sister Ling is already a warrior! Please turn on the speed tester."
"Exhale, inhale." Xiao Yu adjusted his breathing and stood on the runway. The runway was sixty meters long in total. The speed measurement area was near the runway interruption speed tester.
Xiao Yu exerted force suddenly.
With the experience from his previous life, he accelerated to the maximum speed in the blink of an eye. His feet were as fast as the wind and his whole body flew towards the finish line like an arrow.
In about a second, he rushed through the speed tester area, then quickly slowed down and stopped.
"Uncle San, how is it?" Xiao Yu took a deep breath and walked towards Xiao Guoxuan who was standing next to the speed tester.
"25.8m/s, a big improvement from last time! I can now take part in the quasi-martial arts examination at the Extreme Martial Arts School."
This data was exactly what Xiao Yu expected. The system is the system.
There are three tests for prospective warriors, namely strength (punch power), speed, and nerve reaction. In terms of nerve reaction, Xiao Yu has never worried because of his rich experience in his previous life.
Strength (punching power), the passing line for the assessment of prospective warriors is - 900 kilograms!
In terms of speed, the passing line for the prospective warrior assessment is 25 meters per second! That is, meters in four seconds.
Now the strength and speed have reached the acceptable level. - "Xiao Yu, now that your data has reached the assessment standard for a quasi-warrior, are you going to take the test now, or wait until after the college entrance examination?"
Third uncle Xiao Guoxuan asked with a smile on his face.
"Today is already June 2nd, and the college entrance examination is less than a week away. I still want to take the college entrance examination first and then take the test."
China's college entrance examination is held on June 7, 8, and 9.
Xiao Yu also wanted to fulfill a dream of his previous life. After twelve years of hard study, there must be a result.
In fact, most of the Xiao family members will choose to be warriors, unless they have very poor talents. Otherwise, they can become warriors even if they spend money.
After a day of training, Xiao Yu returned to Class 105 of Yian District No. High School to continue his final high school study career.
"Xiao Yu, I heard that you fainted from exhaustion during training. Are you okay now?"
A fat man next to him, dressed in expensive clothes, patted Xiao Yu's shoulder with his fat hand and showed concern.
This person is his good friend Yuan Minghua in high school.
"I just fell accidentally, it's no big deal!"
Xiao Yu's return was still hotly discussed by his classmates. They once thought that this rich young man might miss the college entrance examination. - The first high school in Yi'an District.
According to the examination venue arrangement, candidates from No. 1 Middle School, No. 3 Middle School, and No. 5 Middle School will take the college entrance examination at No. 1 High School.
Outside the school gate, there was a dense crowd of college entrance examination candidates and their parents, and outside the gate of the No. 1 High School, there stood a row of policemen armed with real guns.
"Xiaofeng, you have to relax during the exam. Even if our son can't get into the first military academy, he can get into the second one. Relax!" Luo Hongguo looked at his son and said with a smile.
"Yeah." Luo Feng smiled and nodded.
Xiao Yu stood next to the car parked outside the school gate, looking at the groups of people in front of him. During this time, he also saw Luo Feng who was talking to his family.
"Beep-beep--" With the loud sound of car horns, a latest model Mercedes-Benz S600, all black and full of aristocratic temperament, was seen slowly driving towards the gate of the No. High School under the protection of police motorcycles. The candidates and parents around immediately moved aside.
Three people got off the car and walked towards the school gate, chatting and laughing with each other.
"The bald guy on the left is Director Zhang of the Yi'an District Police Department."
"The one on the right is Director Liu from the Education Bureau, right?"
"The one in the middle must be the warrior in charge of overall security at the examination room."
The people around were talking about it.
At the same time, Luo Feng looked at the person in the middle, his heart filled with admiration for warriors.
