Chapter 5 Working Like Crazy
Zhou Ye was pleasantly surprised to find that this time it only took 15 minutes to gain one experience point, which increased the efficiency by about four times.
After pondering for a while, Zhou Ye roughly guessed the reason—martial arts training cannot be done haphazardly; it's not efficient to just hack and slash randomly. If the right weapon, or rather, the right training equipment, is chosen, the training effect can be greatly improved.
If that's the case, then the correct cultivation methods, better cultivation manuals (i.e., secret manuals), as well as guidance from teachers and the experience summarized by predecessors, can also improve efficiency.
After all, one's abilities are limited; we can't just blindly try to describe an elephant. We definitely need to learn more.
Since that's the case, we can't stay in the wilderness forever, fantasizing about becoming the Sword God of Shili Slope and returning like the Dragon King when we come out of the mountains.
Therefore, when the time is right, one should "return to the human world" and join a martial arts school or sect to learn.
No need for further discussion, let's just grind! Grind like crazy! As long as we don't die from it, we'll grind to the death!
Zhou Ye immediately became energetic and began to chop away with all his might...
However, in many cases, there are gains and losses; the world is still very much about balance.
After gaining another 3 experience points, I felt my body had reached its limit. The interface seemed to be issuing a warning: if this continued, my body would be overdrawn, which might damage my foundation.
Zhou Ye wasn't too disappointed; this situation was quite reasonable. You can't keep grinding away indefinitely; regardless of the type of cultivation, a balance between work and rest is ultimately necessary.
Therefore, the daily limit for grinding is two hours. However, it's still possible to do things normally at other times, just without needing to push oneself to the limit, resulting in slightly lower efficiency.
So far, I have 6 points in basic chopping, and I only need 4 more points to get started.
Using the waist knife will grant 8 experience points per day. Therefore, you'll be more than capable of starting the course tomorrow.
With plenty of time left today, Zhou Ye immediately threw himself into building his little home...
the next day.
Knives flashed across the grass as a figure leaped up and down.
Finally, the training session ended, and a joyful smile appeared on Zhou Ye's face. Basic Chopping (Unskilled): Beginner (0/50)
What's even more exciting is that my free attribute points have gone from 0 to 1. I never expected this upgrade to give me 1 free attribute point!
After a moment's consideration, Zhou Ye added 1 point to his physique.
In fact, constitution and health are related, but health is more related to injuries and endurance, while constitution is more related to stamina and endurance.
To be honest, Zhou Ye had a vague feeling that his weaknesses in various aspects were actually affecting his agility. Although his movement speed was relatively fast, he simply couldn't maintain it for long. In this situation, endurance was more important than having an extra point of agility.
However, after adding points to his physique, Zhou Ye was stunned by the sudden changes in his body. He quickly opened his data panel:
[Zhou Ye (Ordinary Person): 14]
Root bone: -3
Comprehension: +3
[Basic Data]
Life: (80/80)
Strength: -3
Agility: +3
Constitution: -2
Essence: +4
Charisma: -2
[Technique]
[Martial Arts]
Basic Chopping (Very Basic): Beginner (0/50)
Free attribute points: 0
Unexpectedly, after adding points to my Constitution, it seems like I've been fully revived? Not only has my Constitution been completely restored, but my health has also been fully restored.
In other words, it's like starting all over again; I can cultivate for another two hours today. Is it like being given an extra chance to cultivate?
Thinking of this, Zhou Ye felt a pang of heartache that almost suffocated him. If he had known it would be like this, he should have cultivated for the full two hours, and then added some points to his physique. That way, he wouldn't have wasted an hour.
No, no! Zhou Ye suddenly realized that the most reasonable solution was to reserve a few free attribute points. That way, he could add points on the spot if something went wrong, which would be like a full-health resurrection!
Oh well, there's no going back. I guess I'll just learn from this experience.
However, at this moment, Zhou Ye had another sudden inspiration, and he suddenly came up with a crazy idea.
The waist knife was replaced with a wood-chopping knife. This time, it wasn't about chopping trees, but rather, like the previous waist knife training, it was about slashing through the air...
An hour later, Zhou Ye's expression was strange. His attempt to outmaneuver had failed miserably, and he had only gained 1 experience point. It seemed that whether or not he chopped down other things was irrelevant, as long as he was cultivating.
As for this waste, let's just consider it a necessary trial and error! Blame it on the panel being too rudimentary, forcing us to figure it out ourselves? That's the panel's fault, I'm definitely not at fault.
I switched back to the waist knife. In the next hour, I successfully gained 4 experience points, bringing my total to 5.
If that's the case, it would take six days to successfully level up at 8 AM every day.
Zhou Ye finally finished his training for the day and went to the place where the weeds were piled up. These weeds, once dried, would have many uses. At the very least, they could be laid under the bed, making sleeping more comfortable.
After watching it, Zhou Ye returned to his small home.
Currently, four wooden stakes have been erected at the four corners of the small community to serve as markers.
However, Zhou Ye went to the back. There were also many neatly cleared wooden stakes there. He planned to build a back gate for an outer fence...
Several hours later, a row of wooden stakes had been erected at the back gate. The tops of the stakes had been sharpened to prevent anyone from climbing them. The stakes were spaced about the size of a fist apart, so they wouldn't obstruct the view from either side.
After all, Zhou Ye was only one person, which was enough to hold off the wild beasts. If several enemies came, he simply wouldn't be able to hold them off.
Since we can't protect it, our little community needs this back door.
To the naked eye, these wooden stakes look no different from the others. However, several of the middle stakes have been deliberately cut off and secured with two wooden stakes at the top and bottom.
By simply loosening the wooden stakes, the stakes can be pushed aside, creating a gap in the middle, allowing a person to easily climb over to the outside.
After testing the wooden stakes, Zhou Ye smiled and nodded, quite satisfied with the gap.
Zhou Ye was very happy to have successfully completed the task.
That evening, while having dinner, Zhou Ye noticed that there weren't many pancakes left. There were only two white pancakes and five black pancakes remaining.
Then we'll have to go back to the old camp. Four days have passed; even if rescuers came, they should have left by now, right?
After deciding to set off, Zhou Ye went to bed early and quickly fell asleep...
