The King of Black Fog

"Master Huang's Value Game Observations" records that abilities can be upgraded not only through leveling up but can also be enhanced by doing anything.

The most cost-effective among these is learning new ideas, that is, the Visualization Map, followed by reading books.

"Why is traveling so low? Don't they understand the principle of reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of roads? This damn game!" Li Qianxia flipped through the book, very dissatisfied.

"Ask yourself, did you really go to travel thousands of miles, or did you just go to have fun?" Li Changzhou experimented with the various transformations after gaining 'abilities'.

Most of his skills were not attack skills, so there was hardly any increase in power.

'Black Death God's Descent' is a summon, and the Black Death God's strength has nothing to do with his ability level—except for its drool.

The only change—

Lightning struck his spine, potential surged, and his strength coiled together like steel.

The terrifying power startled Li Changzhou himself, forcing him to change his target and throw a punch into the sky!

Boom!

The visible wave of qi layered one upon another.

Leaves and broken branches fell like rain.

Above Li Changzhou's head, the dense canopy disappeared, and a column of light shone down directly.

Originally, Master Huang had flipped the doors of Ming'en Hall from a hundred meters away, but compared to the power of this punch, it was just child's play.

From where Li Changzhou stood to the tip of the tree was only a hundred or two hundred meters, but after his second physical enhancement, the hardness of the giant tree increased greatly, with even the slightly thick branches being as hard as rock on the inside.

He glanced at his Identity Card, two points of 'Ability' were missing. With such a full-force punch, he could deliver four such strikes.

He carefully felt the changes in his body, remembered the sensation of losing two points, and strived to always be clear about how much strength he had left during future battles.

After experimenting with the 'Thunder Map' combat skill, he sat down cross-legged again to try practice skills.

Lightning struck his spine once more, causing potential to surge.

This time, it did not twist into a single force but dispersed into a mist-like rain, nourishing his body.

A distinct feeling of becoming stronger arose, and his ability seemed to have recovered a little, but these were all subtle changes invisible on the panel.

Yang Qinglan was also getting familiar with her own abilities.

'Thorns' was no longer confined to the land and could be thrown like arrows.

'Call the Wind and Rain' had a larger range and greater power.

Her nature-based skills were all strengthened under the power of 'ability,' but the learning conditions were too stringent, particularly the requirements for 'Intelligence' and especially 'Charm'.

In addition, with 'abilities,' the power of the skills in "Bible·Knight" also improved to various extents.

Li Qianxia flipped through the booklet for a while and then joined in, starting her training.

While she was training, she suddenly attacked Li Changzhou, who casually knocked her down. Gu She Fairy took the opportunity to ambush, and the battle of one man and two women erupted once again.

For the following week, they all adapted to their 'abilities.'

On the second day, Yang Qinglan learned the 'Thunder Book' from memory, and on the fourth day, under Li Changzhou's electric shock teaching, Li Qianxia also learned it.

Life went on uneventfully, except it's worth mentioning that Yang Qinglan skipped school on Friday to go to Italy and got called out for it.

Fridays, especially Friday afternoons, were prime time for skipping classes.

After the hard work of a week's classes, the students' minds became lively, thinking that tomorrow is Saturday, yet they would skip classes on Friday afternoon to go to the study room, or directly go home, or to nearby cities for a trip, or stay in the dorm to play games, or go to the sports field to play ball.

"This is my first time skipping class," Yang Qinglan declared thoughtfully at lunch in the cafeteria that day.

"Skipping class isn't the key point; the key is that you got caught," Li Changzhou said, full of sympathy, his eyes almost brimming with tears.

"Does this count as Lanlan's first time for my brother?" Li Qianxia asked.

"I guess so," Yang Qinglan nodded indifferently.

"..." Li Changzhou, "Can you two be a bit more serious!"

He had held back thirteen thousand eight hundred dirty jokes, worried that Yang Qinglan wouldn't like them, so he never spoke them.

Seemingly reading his mind, Yang Qinglan said, "This is an experiment, trying things in life that I've never experienced before, to see if it will enhance my ability."

"And the result?"

"Think carefully with that ball on your neck, if one experience could increase ability, Xuanzang wouldn't have gone through a life-and-death ordeal just to obtain the True Scripture."

What ball? This is a head! A top-tier head with an Intelligence of 7 and Charm of 9!

"One time isn't enough, do it a few more times with my brother!" Li Qianxia suggested.

Yang Qinglan gave her a look.

"Well, actually I'm also experimenting," Li Qianxia said, looking down as she ate her fried rice.

From that day on, everyone was experimenting, trying all sorts of tricks, like Li Qianxia insisting on not spending money for a week.

According to her, her previous record was only one and a half days, and on the second night, her brother refused to pay, and no amount of acting cutesy or calling for 'onii-chan' worked, even though it used to be very effective.

"It was effective," Yang Qinglan said, nodding as if it didn't matter to her.

"That's because I saw... she was willing to go that far... so I just... you know."'

This was true, not just an excuse, Li Changzhou assured.

The week passed with both lively fun and silent training.

On Saturday morning, the three of them arrived at the subway station closest to Yanhe Road—Huaihai Road.

After entering the subway station, passing through security, and taking out the subway ticket given in the game—also a coin-like object.

They swiped the card to enter, and the world changed.

The already cramped subway station suddenly grew taller, its boundaries expanded, the dome disappeared, revealing a clear blue sky.

A colossal subway train, no, a luxurious high-speed train, was parked on the track.

The platform was bright and clean, and there were various general stores.
