Night was almost falling on Mora's mother planet. Fang Jueyu and Natu needed to deal with their slave matters separately, so they temporarily parted ways, agreeing to et at the spaceship port the next day to head to Planet Ghana together.
A fourth-level civilization hotel was genuinely intelligent. For just a few hundred thousand Mora coins, Fang Jueyu and his Snowfall Clan slaves stayed in the highest-end hotel.
Although the hotel had all kinds of robots to take care of their daily lives, since these little female slaves were already bought, they couldn't be wasted and had to be put to use.
After enjoying a massage service from two maids, Fang Jueyu lay comfortably on his bed, savoring the day's journey through the fourth-level civilization. If he were to write a novel now, it would surely be a bestseller on Earth.
As for Er Gouzi, it was lying on the bed on its back, enjoying the high-grade pet food Fang Jueyu bought, blissfully watching so unknown TV program.
"Hey, Little Yi, why were you so enthusiastic about getting to agree to join the stone gambling? You seed quite confident about it."
Fang Jueyu suddenly rembered sothing, "According to the system flow in online novels, they always get an intelligent system and then beco stone-gambling experts. You must have this function, right?"
"Sorry to disappoint you," Little Yi admitted freely. "I don't have that kind of function. Even the top civilizations that created didn't find a way to discern Cosmic Crystal ore before their demise, so you'd better let go of that idea!"
"Damn, then what use are you!" Fang Jueyu was instantly disheartened. "I thought you could do it! Then why make agree to go gamble stones with Natu? Even if I were rich, I wouldn't buy so useless broken stones!"
"I can't, but you can!" Little Yi said mysteriously. "Do you know how your first ancestor gathered an initial capital for business?"
"Didn't you already say? He found a planet, developed technology, then laid low and developed..."
"Co on, think about it. When your first ancestor started, he was just a First-level Divine Ability User. At most, he conquered a second-level civilization. The annual output of a first-level civilization is rely comparable to a small Cosmic Crystal. How could such a vast industry grow in just a few thousand years through conventional developnt?"
"That's true." Which civilization on Earth didn't develop over such a long ti? If you could beco a cosmic-level tycoon just by developing technology, the universe would be full of tycoons.
"Wait, are you saying my ancestors played this, too?" Fang Jueyu asked.
"Heh heh, they more than just played; they left behind a legend!" Little Yi said. "I can't help with detection, but one of the top civilizations that created researched a very magical secret technique! Or, to put it in Earth terms, a Pupil Skill!"
"Sounds powerful. Is it Sharingan? Or Rinnegan? It wouldn't be White Eye, right?"
"Host, could you drop that chūnibyō crap?" Little Yi scorned. "This secret technique was just invented back then, existing only in my database. No one nad it, so your ancestor was the first in the world to learn it."
"Why do I have a bad feeling about this..." Fang Jueyu's sixth sense seed never to be wrong.
"But your ancestor never nad this secret technique, and it was your dad who nad it while learning it."
"What's it called?"
"Uh... Cataract..."
"What? Is he crazy!" If Natu weren't next to him, Fang Jueyu would have started cursing, "Couldn't he choose a normal na? Why na it sothing so ridiculous?"
"I can't help it either..." Little Yi was a bit ashad. Having Fang Huai as a host was the darkest ti in its career as a system. Fang Huai was a naming genius, and this was far from the only na he gave.
"Forget it, he's still my old man. I won't stoop to his level." Fang Jueyu tried to calm himself down. "How do you learn this thing? Does it take long?"
"Actually, similar secret techniques in the universe aren't few," Little Yi beca serious again. "To mine Cosmic Crystals more efficiently, many powerhouses spent centuries or even millennia researching, creating techniques like 'Cataract.'"
Fang Jueyu frowned at the jarring na, "How effective is it?"
"They each have their rits," Little Yi replied. "These secret techniques are divided into several grades too. First-level Pupil Skill has perhaps only a five percent success rate, and even the highest recognized Fifth-level Pupil Skill might have just a thirty to forty percent success rate."
"But of course, depending on the practitioner's strength and experience, top stone-gambling experts can have up to a fifty percent success rate, which is considerably high. If you learn this technique, you could easily make a fortune."
"This stuff isn't easy to learn, right?" If everyone could learn it, those stone-gambling venues would go bankrupt.
"Of course. Even First-level Pupil Skill is considered an exclusive secret. There might not be a hundred such techniques in the entire universe, all mastered by certain dojos."
"Dojos?"
"Oh, they're like your Earth's Ancient Martial Sects, but not everyone can join these dojos teaching Pupil Skills. Talent, family background, wealth, all are necessary. A Martial Artist learning a Pupil Skill holds a very high status."
"Of course, that'd be a money-making tree."
"Moreover, the function of these Pupil Skills isn't limited to stone-gambling. They can even see the energy flow in opponents during Martial Artist battles, finding weaknesses or predicting attacks for preemptive strikes!"
"Hmm... it's like the 'White Eye' in your ani!"
"From what you're saying, learning it would be quite useful."
"Wait, what level of Pupil Skill is this 'Cataract'? Is it Fifth-level? I'm telling you, if it's too low-level, I won't learn it, it has to match my status!"
"Relax, I'm an intelligent system created by a top-level civilization. If you had to judge by level, calling it god-level wouldn't be excessive!"
"That strong?" Little Yi's tone indeed sounded intimidating. "What's the success rate?"
"This Pupil Skill is still being perfected, but even now, it can give you over a ninety percent success rate!"
"That high? Then after I learn it, wouldn't I easily outclass those Pupil Skill experts?" Suddenly, Fang Jueyu realized an issue, "This thing isn't easy to learn, is it?"
"Nonsense, nothing in the world can be learned overnight," Little Yi said. "But 'Cataract' is special. Its training thod is quite different, the process exceptionally painful, but the progress is very swift. Within two days, you'll be at the beginner's level."
"What's beginner level?"
"Emmm... about a thirty to forty percent success rate."
"Aweso! Then what are we waiting for, let's get learning, I'll recoup all the money I spent on slaves this ti!" Fang Jueyu stood up, "I'm not just so rich kid who only spends money!"
