Chapter 2: Additional Rewards
[Congratulations to the host for adding the first friend!]
[Current Friendship Level: One Star]
[Acquired Attribute: Fourth-grade Root Bone.]
[Do you want to fuse immediately?]
The system’s voice rang out.
“No.” Meng Changqing thought to himself, his eyes becoming very bright.
Indeed, he obtained the attribute he wanted most.
“Junior Brother Meng, is there something bothering you?”
Xia Han thought for a moment and asked.
A favor deserved a favor.
After all, he owed the other party a favor before.
“Nothing. Senior Brother Xia doesn’t need to worry.”
Returning to his senses, Meng Changqing smiled and said.
Then he raised his eyebrows slightly.
Because he noticed that Xia Han’s aura seemed somewhat unstable.
He looked as if he had been injured.
“Senior Brother Xia, are you injured?” Meng Changqing’s eyes flickered.
“Junior Brother Meng has sharp eyes. I recently went out on a mission and ran into some tough opponents. I accidentally got poisoned.”
Xia Han clenched his fists, his voice filled with resentment, “But the poison has been neutralized. I just need to rest well.”
“I see,” Meng Changqing suddenly understood, then took out a bottle of pill from his sleeve, “This is the Revitalizing Pill, it has the effect of strengthening the foundation and nurturing vitality. I believe it will greatly help Senior Brother Xia.”
Upon hearing this, Xia Han’s breathing immediately became heavy.
The Revitalizing Pill.
This was a graded pill!
Just like the Blood Qi Pill before!
For him, it’s quite precious.
“I can’t accept it, I can’t accept it. I haven’t repaid Junior Brother Meng’s favor yet, how can I accept this?” Xia Han averted his gaze and gritted his teeth.
However, Meng Changqing took a step forward.
He directly handed the pill bottle to Xia Han.
“Why would Senior Brother Xia say such words? Aren’t we friends?”
Meng Changqing smiled faintly.
Looking at Meng Changqing’s smile,
Xia Han looked at the pill bottle in his hand again, a touch of emotion appearing on his face.
Finally, he regained his composure.
He bowed to Meng Changqing and said earnestly,
“Thank you for valuing me, Junior Brother Meng. If you have any needs in the future, I will definitely do my best!” Xia Han said seriously.
Ding!
[The favorability rating has increased to two stars!]
[Acquired Attribute: “Bronze Armor Art” (Fourth Level)]
[Triggered additional reward: Three Human-level Martial Arts Proficiency Cards!]
[Do you want to fuse immediately?]
The system prompted.
A hint of surprise flashed in Meng Changqing’s eyes.
It seemed that he officially mastered one of the methods to use the system.
‘Help’ friends and increase favorability!
And this was also the reason why he chose to give out the Revitalizing Pill.
Although he had the support of the Chamber of Commerce behind him, but the Revitalizing Pill, a grade-level pill, was also quite precious.
“The system is really amazing.” Meng Changqing thought to himself.
He thought he might get some other useless attributes, but unexpectedly, he got the second most important attribute on Xia Han’s body!
The Fourth Level of “Bronze Armor Art”!
Body refining techniques were very difficult to cultivate, requiring great willpower to temper the physical body.
It’s not something an ordinary person could easily endure.
But now, he obtained it so easily.
For this, he only paid with a bottle of Revitalizing Pill!
It’s simply too profitable!
In addition, an additional reward was triggered.
Three Human-level Martial Arts Proficiency Cards!
But he didn’t know what this thing was.
“Senior Brother Xia, you’re being too serious. Between friends, there’s no need to say these things.”
Meng Changqing smiled and said, “I have some things to do, so I’ll leave first.”
After obtaining two attributes and a reward, he had to hurry back to integrate and study them.
He wanted to completely assimilate them into his own strength!
“Alright, Junior Brother Meng, take care.” Xia Han nodded.
Watching Meng Changqing’s figure gradually recede into the distance,
Xia Han couldn’t help but sigh.
At the same time, he clenched the bottle in his hand.
My luck is truly extraordinary to encounter such a benefactor.
I must repay their kindness in the future!
—
Returning to his residence, Meng Changqing sat cross-legged on the bed.
At the same time, he summoned the interface.
【Host: Meng Changqing】
【Race: Human】
【Cultivation: Eighth level of Vein Tempering Realm】
【Root Bone: Fifth Grade】
【Comprehension: Average】
【Martial Arts, Techniques: “Nine Shadow Sword Art” (Partial Mastery)】
【..】
【Current Friend: Xia Han】
【Unfused Attributes: Fourth-grade Root Bone, “Bronze Armor Art”】
【Unused Rewards: Three Human-level Martial Arts Proficiency Cards】
“What a great harvest.”
Looking at the attributes and rewards, a smile appeared on Meng Changqing’s handsome face.
Looking at his own attribute panel, he realized that he wasn’t much different from Xia Han, mainly in terms of root bone.
As for cultivation, he was only eighteen years old.
“System, fuse the root bone.”
Meng Changqing thought to himself.
Ding!
[Fusion initiated!]
At the moment the words fell, Meng Changqing felt a tremor in his body, a cool sensation emerging in his heart, spreading throughout his body.
This was the fusion of a fourth-grade root bone!
Root bone represented one’s aptitude for cultivation.
For example, in the Vein Tempering Realm, one needed to open up the body’s major veins.
With a good root bone, the major veins were easier to open, not as tough as iron.
So, some geniuses could easily break through in just a few months or even days!
After a moment, Meng Changqing slowly opened his eyes.
At the same time, he took out a pill and threw it into his mouth.
The absorption speed of the medicinal power was almost ten times faster than before!
“The difference in root bone is truly like the difference between heaven and earth.”
Meng Changqing couldn’t help but sigh.
If he had had a fourth-grade root bone earlier, he might have already entered the Profound Aperture Realm by now.
The cultivation speed of a fourth-grade root bone was already so fast.
What about third-grade, second-grade, first-grade, or even the legendary perfect root bone?
How terrifying would that be?
Meng Changqing took a deep breath.
Ambition filled his eyes.
In the past, he dared not even think about it, but now, as long as he made good use of the system and made more ‘friends’, reaching the pinnacle of martial arts wouldn’t be just a dream!
“Next, I’ll fuse the martial arts attributes!”
Retracting his thoughts, Meng Changqing thought to himself.
In terms of attack, he had the “Nine Shadow Sword Art”, which was also a high-level human-level martial art.
So, the arrival of the “Bronze Armor Art” was very good. It was just in time to make up for his lack of defense!
Crack, crack, crack!
His body began to shake.
Meng Changqing clearly saw the surface of his skin bursting with blue veins, his blood and qi undergoing tempering, and his skin gradually turning bronze.
A powerful aura emanated!
Although “Bronze Armor Art” focused on defense, it was still a body refining technique, which, to a certain extent, could increase one’s strength!
Meng Changqing drew the long sword beside him and chopped it onto his arm.
Clang!
For a moment, sparks flickered!
It was evident how solid his defense was!
“Not bad!”
Meng Changqing’s eyes brightened.
Indeed, it was one of the best body refining techniques among the outer disciples.
At this moment, facing opponents of the same level, even if he stood still and let them attack, they probably couldn’t break his defense.
As far as he knew, Xia Han had been practicing this technique for five or six years.
During this time, he had expended a lot of energy and resources.
And he had only spent a bottle of Revitalizing Pill.
His mind stirred slightly.
The bronze color of his skin gradually receded, returning to its normal fair complexion.
Then he began to study the so-called additional reward.
[Three Human-level Martial Arts Proficiency Cards]
What is this?
If you don’t understand, ask.
Meng Changqing didn’t ponder it on his own.
[By using this card, you can increase the proficiency of martial arts.]
