Chapter 13: Taking Money!
It seems that with the improvement of mental strength, I have become more and more proficient in controlling this basic conception.
Any progress is a good thing.
Even if the progress is minimal.
Jiang Chen calmed himself down and continued his visualization.
Your Spirit level has increased from 1.011 to 1.012.
Your Spirit level has increased from 1.012 to 1.013.
……
Your Spirit level has increased from 1.029 to 1.03.
After repeating it twenty times, Jiang Chen's mental strength improved by 0.02 levels.
He looked at the personal attributes on the panel.
[Body Level: 0.8 (Unranked)]
[Spiritual Level: 1.03 (Tier 1)]
[Cultivation Techniques: Basic Cultivation Method, Basic Visualization Method, Thunderous Blade Technique (0.01%)]
[Skill Level: First-tier swordsmanship (0.14%), basic movement techniques (86.1%)]
[Talent: Diligence can compensate for lack of talent]
Looking at the changes on the panel, Jiang Chen felt extremely pleased.
The feeling of becoming stronger through hard work is just so exhilarating.
"It's getting late, time for bed."
He looked at the clock, which showed it was already past midnight, then turned off the light and lay down.
I'll keep trying tomorrow.
The next day, at four in the morning.
The sky outside was already beginning to lighten. Jiang Chen opened his eyes and felt refreshed.
Apart from yesterday's unexpected event, he would get up at this time every morning.
Without hesitation, Jiang Chen threw off the covers, turned over, stood up, and walked towards the bathroom.
After a quick wash, he slung his backpack over his shoulder and headed to the living room.
On the living room table, Zhang Lan, the mother, had already placed today's allowance on a teacup.
Jiang Chen glanced at it, but as usual, he didn't take it.
He didn't take it before because he wanted to save his mother some money, but now he already has money in his account.
He gently closed the door and walked out of the building down the stairs.
Immediately afterwards, he went to Qin Shou's house.
As expected, this guy couldn't get up.
He didn't rudely call out to the other person, but instead left alone.
After leaving the residential area, he got into a running position, adjusted his breathing, and ran towards the school.
This is something he does every day.
During the run, Jiang Chen also incorporated the movement training techniques from the "Thunderous Blade Technique".
Along the way, sanitation workers had already started cleaning the streets with their tools, and breakfast shops were already open, with steaming white vapor rising into the air, bringing a hint of fragrance.
Jiang Chen got up very early, but some people got up even earlier.
no way.
In this world, there will always be people who work harder than you, whether they do it willingly or out of necessity.
Whenever Jiang Chen saw these scenes, he secretly vowed that he would make sure his family lived a good life in the future.
Around five o'clock, he had already arrived at the school gate.
Your basic movement technique has increased from 86.1% to 92%.
When Jiang Chen stopped, a line of text appeared on the panel.
"Can running really improve your agility this quickly?"
Jiang Chen looked pleasantly surprised.
It seems that the influence of diligence on talent is multifaceted.
At this rate, I'm afraid that if I keep running for another two days, my movement technique will be at the next level.
He was in high spirits and then went to the school cafeteria.
The auntie here is preparing breakfast, and his portion has already been prepared separately.
"Thank you, Aunt Zhou."
Jiang Chen went to the window, swiped his meal card, and politely thanked the busy figure inside.
"Good child, eat it while it's hot," came the kind voice from inside, from Aunt Zhou.
Jiang Chen's hard work was evident to all the cooks.
They all felt sorry for the child.
After a quick breakfast, Jiang Chen went to the martial arts classroom to practice the basic training methods.
At this moment, the sun had just risen, and the morning light shone on the floor, leaving a dim, yellowish glow.
Jiang Chen began cultivating skillfully.
Your physical level has increased from 0.8 to 0.81.
Your physical level has increased from 0.81 to 0.82.
……
Your physical level has increased from 0.98 to 0.99.
After practicing twenty times, Jiang Chen's physical level had reached 0.99.
We're just one step away from a breakthrough.
But just when he thought that one more round of training would lead to a breakthrough.
As a result, level 0.99 seemed to be stuck, not moving at all.
"Huh? What's going on?" Jiang Chen had never encountered this situation before.
Undeterred, he continued practicing nine more times, making a total of ten.
As a result, the 0.99 level remained unchanged.
He was dumbfounded.
"Does this mean that the final hurdle to reaching the next level requires even more rounds of practice?"
ding ding-
Just as Jiang Chen was wondering, a hurried voice rang out.
Morning self-study is over, class is about to start.
Jiang Chen could only suppress his confusion for the time being, pack his things, and head towards the classroom.
The college entrance examination tests not only martial arts skills but also theoretical knowledge.
Therefore, Jiang Chen and his classmates have to attend theory classes in the morning.
As soon as he entered the corridor, he noticed a group of people gathered at the door of Class 3's classroom, and it was noisy inside.
When they arrived at the door, they heard someone shouting loudly inside.
"Who gave you the guts to not pay? Give it to me right now, or you'll regret it."
"I won't give it to you. Our Class 3 now has a genius whose swordsmanship has reached the top ten in the grade. What can you do to me?"
Judging from these words, it seems to be the voice of squad leader Wang Lang.
"Haha, what a joke! I'd like to see which guy it is." The man laughed loudly, his words filled with disdain.
"It's his brother, Jiang Chen," Wang Lang announced loudly.
In front of the classroom.
A group of people surrounded squad leader Wang Lang, each of them looking fierce and menacing.
Qin Shou, who was still in a daze, never expected that the other party would turn the tables on him.
He immediately stood up angrily and said, "Wang Lang, what do you mean?"
boom--
He had barely finished speaking when he was suddenly kicked hard, sending tables and chairs flying everywhere. He crashed heavily into the blackboard, letting out a wail.
wow——
Everyone retreated, not daring to provoke the short-haired boy who had kicked them.
This person was among the top 100 in the grade, while his older brother, the man sitting there leisurely with his legs crossed, acting as if it were none of his business, was a notorious bully in Jinling No. 3 Middle School.
In fact, his ability ranks among the top ten in the grade.
That's why no one dares to provoke them.
"So your brother's swordsmanship has reached the advanced level?"
"You think you've gotten away with not paying once your swordsmanship has reached a certain level? Bah!"
The man with the buzz cut glared at him fiercely, spitting on the ground with utter disdain.
They wanted to make an example of him to intimidate others, and this chubby boy was the best choice.
Qin Shou, who had taken a hard kick, clutched his stomach and bit his lip tightly. Suddenly, he looked up and caught sight of Jiang Chen at the classroom door.
He suddenly stood up and blocked the classroom doorway.
"Brother Chen, run! They're coming for you!"
As soon as he shouted, the others immediately realized that the person at the door was the guy they were talking about, the one whose swordsmanship was said to be among the top ten in the grade.
