Training progress bar?
wow
Not bad
A visible progress bar increase is the most motivating — this is effective positive reinforcent.
Noland leans on the wall to stand up, puts the bed board back in place, and lies down again.
While resting, he thinks about his future plans in his mind, gradually clarifying his schedule for the days ahead.
Firstly, he should maintain a certain stockpile of energy points and soul strength.
Energy points need to be at their maximum capacity, so he needs to co up with a way to spend them without affecting their auto recovery.
Having energy points equal to the maximum value minus 1 and 200 soul strength should be enough to face ergencies.
Secondly, the top priority is to increase his “Spirit” to raise the energy points limit.
Finally, he should use his spare ti to practice the “Soul Casting Technique.” Noland wants to see what specific attribute rewards he will get when the training progress bar is full.
Before having the ability to protect himself, everything should be focused on enhancing his strength.
He wants to be a top student, a magic master, and a muscle king!
Yes!
It’s decided then!
After lying down to recover so energy, Noland reluctantly sits up and starts tidying up the room.
10 minutes later, he heads to the shared shower room, carrying a security uniform he found in the wardrobe.
After taking a shower, he puts on clean clothes, a face towel, and sunglasses, completely covering his face and neck before heading to the first-floor grand hall.
While the Iron Thorn Shield Security Firm mainly serves the Golden Comrce Guild, they also take on other jobs, so there’s a female receptionist at the hall.
After chatting with her for a bit, Noland learns where alchemy books can be purchased.
“After leaving the door, turn left and walk straight ahead. Enter the alley at the third corner on the right, and you’ll find a bookstore. The bookstore owner has a cooperation agreent with us and will give you a discount.”
The receptionist blinks curiously at Noland, who’s hiding his face, her eyes full of curiosity.
Her colleague beside her has the sa expression…
Noland waves his thanks and leaves, while the whispers of the two won can be heard behind, discussing how good-looking he must be…
Noland’s mouth twitches, and he sighs in silence.
It seems that the effect of the “Charm” attribute is not only related to “appearance” but also “temperant,” as described by the System.
Although he’s covering his face, his walking posture, speaking tone, habits, and body contour are unchanged, also revealing his temperant…
Forget it; let “Charm” do its thing.
In front of the bookstore called “Ti Grinds People,” Noland pushes open the glass door and enters the bookstore, accompanied by the sound of ringing bells.
Bookshelves fill the left and right sides, while a counter stands at the front.
An old, bald man wearing glasses lazes in a reclining chair, holding a colorful album in his hands.
Seeing a custor enter the store, he puts down his book without embarrassnt, clears his throat, takes out a plain-looking book from the counter, and greets:
“Oh, welco, please feel free to look around.”
The old man adjusts his glasses and scans the custor through his thick lenses:
“Are you the new ard security personnel from Iron Thorn Shield? Why are you wearing a face towel? You scared ; I thought my shabby store was getting robbed.”
Noland finds the old man amusing and casually remarks:
“I’m too handso, and I’m afraid of being kidnapped by won, so I can’t be without the face towel.’
The old man disdainfully responds:
“Tsk, young man with your smooth talk… What kind of book do you want to buy? Pleasurable readings? They’re on your left-hand side on the bottom shelf, just have a look.”
“I ca to check out the books for the independent alchemist exam.” Noland’s eyes dart around as he releases Deconstruction.
“Mark has them; you can ask him for it. It’s not worth buying here. You guys who wield knives and guns can’t focus anyway; it’ll be a waste.”
“You don’t want to do business, huh? A rare custor cos, and you don’t even suggest they buy sothing.” Noland touches the bookshelf, his fingertips turning gray, and he seems to understand sothing.
Looking at the old man, he throws out Deconstruction and his eyes tremble
sngnt1Y.
Not waiting for the old man’s reply, he speaks with his usual tone:
“Mark went to ‘Money and Good Dreams’ to et won, completely forgetting what he promised about lending books. How about you let have a look first, and if I can focus, I’ll pay for the books.”
“Oh, alright, poor little Mark is going to have his wallet squeezed out by won again.” The old man shakes his head, puts down his book, grabs the armrests of the chair, and stands up shakily:
He rummages in the counter, takes out a hardcover alchemy book from the drawer, and puts it on the table.
“Here you go, have a look. ‘A Brief History of Alchemy in the Golden
Federation,’ ‘Basic Alchemy Theory,’ ‘Basic Alchemy Array Theory,’ ‘Sage’s Particle Basic Encyclopedia,’ ‘Common Types of Sage’s Manuscripts’…”
The old man recites the nas of the books..
