45: Chapter 45 Cultivating Skills 45: Chapter 45 Cultivating Skills Editor: Henyee Translations Zhou Bi Suan Jing: One of the Ten Computational Canons.
Intelligence 1
It was a book that could increase intelligence!
Ye Weiming was originally saving money to go to a private school to read books to make up for the one missing intelligence point he needed for cultivating the “Hunyuan Gong”.
Today was indeed a good day; not only did he find the important mission dog, Ah Huang, he even saved a whopping 100 gold with Ah Huang’s help!
It really corroborated the saying: life is like a drama, all dependent on acting skills!
Speaking of which, the God Arrest House had strict regulations, they couldn’t oppress commoners with force or official positions.
Otherwise, dealing with the “Dog Karma” who was trying to charge high prices wouldn’t require such acting.
In his excitent, Ye Weiming subconsciously flipped open the book.
Ding!
Are you sure you want to use “Zhou Bi Suan Jing”?
When the system’s prompt sounded in his ears, Ye Weiming suddenly rembered what Ah Zhong had told him before.
“Big brother, using a Skill Book directly like you do is very wasteful.
If you could be patient and read every word and sentence carefully, not only will you learn the thod to cook beggar’s chicken, you could also gain so bonus cooking proficiency.”
Perhaps he should try Ah Zhong’s thod?
Hastily opting for ‘no’, Ye Weiming imdiately closed the book and, together with Ah Huang, left the abandoned house.
Previously, taking care of Ah Huang’s matters had disturbed his lunchti.
Now, his stomach was protesting again, and he had to get sothing to eat.
He didn’t dare to eat the grilled wolf at that Ah Zhong had made to increase arm strength before.
However, in a large city like Luoyang, as long as you had money, there would be no problem buying sothing to eat.
He hadn’t walked far when he found a stand selling at buns by the roadside.
at Buns: Buns made with fresh pork.
Satiety 20%, Physique 1 for an hour.
Though it was also food that could increase attributes, the craftsmanship clearly wasn’t on the sa level as Ah Zhong’s.
Each at bun was sold for 10 copper.
One batch of 10 was a single silver piece, quite a bargain.
Ye Weiming imdiately bought two batches, ate one himself, and casually tossed one to Ah Huang.
Suddenly, he saw the kindly aunt selling the buns looking at him unpleasantly.
Right, eating their buns while standing at their stall and feeding them to a dog was indeed quite impolite.
What would the other custors who would like to buy buns think?
With an awkward smile, Ye Weiming imdiately fled the area with Ah Huang.
Only after reaching a quiet corner nearby did he begin to eat the buns, feed Ah Huang, and take out the “Zhou Bi Suan Jing” to start reading it again, word by word, sentence by sentence.
Speaking of which, Ye Weiming was sowhat curious, what would a mathematics book written in Classical Chinese look like?
However, as it turned out, such a textbook-like thing didn’t have much readability.
After Ye Weiming finished the first page, his curiosity was satisfied, and he lost interest in the following content.
Considering Ah Zhong’s previous hint, still with the ntality of giving it a try, he patiently turned to the second page….
There wasn’t much content in the book, but Ye Weiming read it very slowly.
With the attitude of killing ti, he finished the entire book word by word, taking a total of more than 40 minutes.
Ding!
You gained a lot after studying ‘Zhou Bi Suan Jing’ carefully.
You understood the cultivation skill “Deductive Reasoning”.
Intelligence 1!
With a sudden system prompt, ‘Zhou Bi Suan Jing’ in Ye Weiming’s hand imdiately turned into a beam of white light and disappeared.
Hmm?
Additional gains!?
Wasn’t it just supposed to increase a bit of proficiency?
What was this sudden cultivation skill?
After playing the ga for so long, Ye Weiming had already gained a certain understanding of it.
He also had a vague concept of cultivation skills.
Unlike abilities within the martial arts category like Inner Strength, Moves, ntal thods, or the economically beneficial survival skills, cultivation skills occupied a more special place.
Such skills seem useless generally, but when it reaches a certain level, it drastically increases the favorability of certain NPCs and also enhances the amplification effect on certain specific martial arts skills.
For instance, the commonly seen Buddhist Law, Taoist Law, Literary Grace, all belong to cultivation skills.
Talking about this Deductive Reasoning skill, it was Ye Weiming’s first ti to see it, and he wasn’t sure about its specific effects.
Opening the skill panel.
Deductive Reasoning
(Inference and deduction ability.)
Level: 1
Proficiency: 0/1000
All martial tech skill-based Attacks 5%, Defense 5%, Accuracy 5%
Has a supporting effect on special skills
…
This skill seed quite good, but what were the special skills ntioned in the introduction?
Ye Weiming guessed that it most likely referred to special skills related to deductions such as traps or Five Elents Nurology.
However, he still held a glimr of hope and began browsing through his skill list.
The introduction of his Inner Strength skill didn’t have any changes, the two Swordsmanship skills remained the sa, Qinggong was also unchanged, ntal thods…
wait!
Daizong Ruhuo (Unique Skill)
The ultimate ntal thod of Mount Tai Sect, relies on powerful computing skill to anticipate the enemy’s attacks and defeat them in one move!
Level: 2
Proficiency: 1211/2000
Attack Damage 20%, Accuracy 20%, Critical Damage 20%.
You can activate its active effect during battle to deduce enemy’s weaknesses and strike to defeat the enemy!
(Affected by “Deduction” skill, the difficulty of calculation when activating the ntal thod decreases by 5%.).
How does this decrease in calculation difficulty work?
Does it decrease the digits in the equations or does the number of mathematics problems decrease?
It seed difficult to tell, because from his previous tests, Ye Weiming found out that when the active effect of “Daizong Ruhuo” was activated, the math problems given by the system, whether in terms of difficulty or number, were not fixed.
The situation while dealing with Xie Xun and the West Lake Water Bandits was entirely different.
Which ant that even if he wanted to test what this 5% of computation difficulty was right now, he couldn’t make a comparison.
Regardless, attribute bonuses to all martial tech skills provided by the Deductive Reasoning skill were pretty good, and Ye Weiming was pretty satisfied.
Now that he had gathered the necessary 30 Intelligence points, the gap to “Hunyuan Gong” was just 5 Aptitude points and the level of “Tuna thod”.
Everything was progressing in a positive direction.
Indeed, the effects of thoroughly studying and directly consuming the sa Secret Book were entirely different….
Hold on!
If from a single “Zhou Bi Suan Jing”, he could gain a skill as practical as “Deductive Reasoning”, then what about the other Secret Books he had consud before – Beggar’s Chicken, Dancing Dragon Leading the Phoenix, various Secret thod Books, Daizong Ruhuo, and “Xiyuan Jilu”!
Oh my god!
Just what opportunities had he missed out on!
For so reason, Ye Weiming felt an unprecedented heartache, and just as he was feeling pained, a man who brought him even more heartache appeared before him!
A man in a coarse cloth robe, square-faced, radiating an earthy aura from every part of his body, appeared before Ye Weiming.
It was none other than a once hated NPC by Ye Weiming –- Soy Milk Xiao Bai!
At the mont, Soy Milk Xiao Bai was carrying a load on a pole over his shoulders, rushing towards the south of the city through the lively crowd.
It seed like he hadn’t noticed Ye Weiming, who was looking at him with ill intent.
