I don't know if it was due to the addition of secret seasonings, but Xia Chen felt that his cooking skills had improved for today's lunch.
Although the food is a bit spicy, it is spicy enough.
Even Pipa, who doesn't like spicy food the most, complained while sticking out his tongue while putting the food into his mouth vigorously.
Of course, pleasure comes at a price. Throughout the afternoon, Pipa almost stayed in the bathroom in her room without coming out.
As expected, there should be a few unlucky fish that are going to be scolding in the Cauldron Lake today.
Can this thing really be pulled out by humans?
The elves have nothing to do because of their strong physiques. After all, spicy food is a kind of pain, and this kind of pain can be resisted.
If you dig deeper, Xia Chen can be considered half an elf, so that's more or less the case.
My stomach is fine, just a little uncomfortable.
After feeling uncomfortable for a while, as the energy in the seasoning was absorbed by the body, Xia Chen felt as if his body was being transformed and upgraded from the inside out.
It’s hard to say how much the energy intensity in the body will be improved, but it will definitely make the body younger and more energetic.
Therefore, Luton and the Mastiff Godfather did not fall asleep this time like last time, and the spicy secret sauce had a remarkable healing effect on their injuries.
At least judging from the feedback given by Gu Lerton, its strength has recovered from the king level to a level that is infinitely close to the championship level.
On the way back, Xia Chen informed Jiang Qian in Anza City that he had discovered the spicy secret plant.
It happened that her research on the salty secret plant had come to an end, so she sent part of the team to Daguo City to start the research here.
The two also took advantage of this and discussed the feasibility of establishing a company branch in Padiya.
After all, salty and spicy flavors are only two of the five types of secret plants, and more research needs to be done here in the future.
Discussing the commercial development of secret seasonings, the [Mililong] blew its whistle in the afterglow of the setting sun and sailed towards Caoguo City.
…………
Because there were not many stops on the return journey, Xia Chen and the others arrived at Daguo City at nightfall as they moved forward at full speed.
The two-day and one-night journey was not considered tiring, but the small incidents that occurred during it also made Xia Chen and the elves quite tired.
After a comfortable sleep, Xia Chen welcomed the next day's sun with a full spirit.
The one who was more energetic than Xia Chen was Pipa. He hurriedly left the Cauldron City just after breakfast and embarked on a journey to find the next secret plant.
Xia Chen decided to rest for a few days at Daguo Lake - Mingyi was still trying to conquer Shenbo Gym, and now he was training alone when he returned to Xunzha City, which was no different from that in Daguo City.
For the elves, Menas' sudden breakthrough to the gym level was a great stimulus to them, especially Senbu.
Although she didn't say it, Xia Chen, who knew her very well, could tell it from her eyes and daily activities.
So, under the leadership of Xianbu, the competitive elves began a new round of involution.
They are studying in visible areas such as training time, and they are also studying in areas that only they can see, such as the development of their respective systems.
Take Sai Fuhao, for example. With the help of Xia Chen's channels, his system commodity reselling business has grown like a snowball.
Xia Chen can only come into contact with high-quality customers. In addition to being very sincere in offering prices, he also never asks for remittances.
And because the quality of the products provided by the system mall is top-notch, customer satisfaction ratings are rave reviews.
As word of mouth spread, more trainers who were not short of money but lacked high-quality resources naturally came to the door.
Sai Fuhao never refuses anything, and its "purchasing channel" is so high-quality that it can be called a bug. As long as you pay enough, it can buy out legendary elf resources.
However, no one has such a crazy idea at present, and Saifuhao has not disclosed this.
After all, that thing is a strategic resource that can easily cause a stir. It cannot be sold at will. It is fine for personal use. If it is sold, it will easily cause some unnecessary trouble.
In short, with the huge inflow and outflow of funds, Saifuhao’s powerful system has been pushed to the sixth level!
The points required to upgrade the system from level 6 to level 7 are as high as 100 billion. Saifuhao may not be able to do it in a short time...
But even so, these two system level upgrades have also brought huge improvements to Sai Fuhao's strength.
…………
Once the points are rich, Saifuhao will spend lavishly on attribute points.
Among the original six abilities, only the most important special attack and speed would cost millions of points to increase to eight points, while the other abilities would only cost hundreds of thousands to increase to six points.
And now...except for attacks that are not very necessary, every other ability will cost more than 200 million points, which will be directly added to twelve points!
Coupled with the magic version of the forced exercise device that is still acting on the body, in a short period of time, Saifuhao's strength has been squeezed into the same level as Senbusa Naido, close to the gym level through krypton gold.
It can be said that when the points required to add points reach tens of millions, this is a very cost-effective way to improve.
But is it cost-effectiveness that the rich pursue?
Sai Fuhao doesn't even look at this thing, otherwise how could he be worthy of his name!
And even if it spent more than 2 billion points on adding points, there are still more than 10 billion points that can be used.
How much can 10 billion points buy?
If it is ordinary resources, you can buy hundreds of top-quality quasi-god eggs, thousands of top-quality mysterious water drops and other top-level resources of various attributes.
And if it is a legendary resource...their price, the lowest one is priced at 2 billion points, and there are so many zeros behind the price that Sai Fuhao is a little scared.
The price difference is at least ten times greater.
This shows how precious the legendary resources are.
Of course, it was a bit expensive, but at this price, people would definitely grab it, so Saifuhao chose to buy it without hesitation.
After careful selection, it set its sights on two legendary resources. One was a piece of core metal from the legendary steel elf Regis Chiru, and the other was a strand of the ghost-based legendary elf Ling Youma. mane.
These two are the legendary resources that Sai Fuhao believes are most suitable for him at this stage within the purchasable range.
Of course, there is nothing better.
For example, the resources related to Giratina and a legendary elf that it had never heard of, the Eye of Lunayara, were all things the system thought were suitable for it and recommended to it.
However, because the price was too high, Saifuhao could not afford to buy one and had no choice but to give up.
Since then, it has understood one thing, even if it is the same legendary level elves, there are differences between them...
After exchanging these two props, Sai Fuhao suddenly turned into Sai beggar, and his tens of billions of points deposits were only left with a few hundred million in an instant.
However, if it is exchanged for ordinary resources, the purchasing power of hundreds of millions is quite powerful.
It just so happened that I had never given gifts to my friends since I joined the team, so Saifuhao purchased corresponding top-level resources for them based on their characteristics, as well as some black technology props with magically modified systems.
Adding another piece of firewood to the blazing flame called "involution competition."
…………
Sai Fuhao's improvement in strength is just the tip of the iceberg in this involution competition. At the same time, Zoroark and Gardevoir are also working hard to practice in their respective worlds.
Simulated world - Washui area - pure white frozen soil.
Although months have passed in the real world, only a few days have passed in the simulated world.
After several days of trekking, Gardevoir finally explored the entire Tianguan Mountain and prepared to set off for the pure white frozen soil where the ghost Zoroark lived.
Gardevoir has gained a lot from more than a dozen simulations, not just the striving stones or other resource props awarded by the system after the simulation.
In this green world, she also gained a lot.
For example, Gardevoir once encountered a forest king, the axe-wielding mantis, which was glowing with golden light. After defeating it, she received a series of precious rewards including the [Pseudo-Jade Insect Slate] and the duration of the simulation.
As for such elves, she has encountered two more in the past few months. One is Miss Kuo'er in the form of Washing Cui, and the other is the naughty Lei Dan in the form of Washing Cui.
Similarly, after defeating them, Gardevoir obtained [Fake Emerald Slate] and [Fake Thunder Stone Slate] with the same attributes as these two elves.
However, because none of the partners have these two attributes, the two slates, like the previous [Pseudo-Jade Insect Slate], are quietly lying in the system backpack eating dust.
The reward for defeating them is not just two stone slabs, but equally important is the time of each simulation.
To this day, through three methods: defeating special elves like the Forest King Ax Mantis, improving levels, and simulation settlement rewards, Gardevoir has increased the length of each simulation from the initial six hours to the current fourteen hours. Hours.
It’s basically equivalent to a day’s activity under normal circumstances.
The gradual increase in simulation time also made Gardevoir's simulation process much faster.
Therefore, in this simulation on May 15th, Gardevoir went out of the mountain with an energy level of 54, ended his exploration of Tianguan Mountain, and came to a vast expanse of pure white frozen soil.
The weather in the pure white frozen soil is very extreme, and it is covered with snow all year round.
But for Gardevoir, who has reached the gym level in the simulated world, this temperature is nothing.
After dealing with the elves who came to attack him without opening his eyes, Gardevoir headed north, towards the Zoroark habitat where Isi revealed himself.
She had no psychological burden on defeating these elves. Although the scene in front of her, what she saw, heard and felt was no different from reality, Gardevoir knew that this was also a game world.
The only difference from the previous incredible maze in the simulated world is the improvement in "game quality".
This kind of behavior that is considered harmful to elves in the real world is no different from killing monsters and upgrading in the game.
So, six or seven hours later, before the simulation ended, Gardevoir leveled up again.
At the same time, she also gradually discovered the changes in the surrounding environment. Vaguely, she keenly noticed through her mental power that there were several faint eyes in the night observing her alertly.
Unfortunately, the simulation time happened to end, and the vision darkened, and Gardevoir returned to the familiar settlement interface.
…………
[This simulation is over, the system evaluation is b+, please choose your simulation reward. 】
[Option 1: Energy level +0.5 (I can remind you that +0.5 is not the limit.)]
[Option 2: Struggle Rock x10 (an advanced prop of the Struggle Stone, which can greatly improve a certain basic ability after use.)]
[Option 3: Swift Move Cheats Fragment (1/3): (Aha, you got a three-in-one combo! If you forgot, let me remind you again, the use of Swift Moves is: +30% move release speed, -20% move power or effect)]
The simulation rewards were released, and Gardevoir observed them carefully.
Energy level... ugh, nothing new, wait, +0.5?
Yes, the system has some new ideas in terms of breaking through the lower limit.
The first reward that will remain unchanged for thousands of years is lost through daily passes, and Gardevoir continues to look down.
Ten Struggle Rocks, this is a new thing, and the effect should be better than the Struggle Rocks that I am almost tired of using.
If the third reward is average, you can consider it.
So, let me look at reward three...
With a thought, the third special reward came into view, and it was the [Quick Move Secrets] that she had been waiting for for a long time!
Gardevoir's eyes lit up.
Since defeating the Forest King four months ago and obtaining the first secret book fragment, it has only appeared once in the ten subsequent simulations.
And that time happened to be the simulated reward for defeating Miss Kuer, the queen of Sandao.
Gardevoir thought that the last fragment would appear as a reward in the settlement of his last simulated defeat of the Cave King's Naughty Thunderbolt, but it didn't.
At that time, she felt regretful for a while, so she could only settle for the next best thing and choose the reward of two more hours of simulation time.
Who would have thought that the last fragment of the scroll would appear this time.
Could it be because he left Tianguan Mountain, came to the pure white frozen soil, and completed a "small dungeon"?
Gardevoir didn't know, but this didn't stop her from choosing the last secret scroll of swift moves without hesitation.
[Choose wisely, you now have a triple! Should it be synthesized and used immediately? ]
There was nothing to think about, so Gardevoir immediately replied: "Yes, use it now."
As soon as he finished speaking, a massive amount of knowledge and information poured into Gardevoir's mind like a tide.
Even with Gardevoir's powerful mental power, it took him several seconds to absorb it.
Exiting the simulator, she deduced this brand-new move-using system from beginning to end in her mind, and then slowly opened her eyes.
…………
"Sanai...(So that's it...)"
Gardevoir whispered softly, and she gradually understood everything.
"What turns out to be that?"
In the room, Xia Chen, who happened to have finished his meditation training at the same time, asked doubtfully.
Gardevoir raised the corners of his mouth and smiled softly, "Sanai~ (It's nothing, you will know later~)"
She felt very comfortable at the moment, and she didn't know whether it was because she had obtained the long-awaited [Swift Move] secret book, or because she could see Xia Chen as soon as she woke up.
Nearly a month has passed. I, my friends, and Xia Chen live in this house adjacent to Daguo Lake, repeating the daily routine of eating, sleeping, training, and intra-team competition.
When the weather is nice, they will occasionally go boating on the lake, or just bask in the sun in the yard to relieve fatigue between training sessions.
After experiencing a series of events, Gardevoir liked such a leisurely life.
The same is true for Xia Chen.
Pipa, who has been traveling around in search of secret plants, has not yet found the third treasure master spirit in the vast continent of Padia.
If he hadn't reported to Xia Chen that he was safe from time to time, Xia Chen would have been worried that something had happened to him.
Mingyi also visited Shenbo Gym half a month ago and came to Daguo City to join Xia Chen.
However, at that time, Xianbu and the others' involution happened to be at the most feverish stage. Xia Chen could not bear to disturb their hard training, so he temporarily canceled his plan to continue traveling in Padia and stayed at the Cauldron Lake instead.
Mingyi was also a person who couldn't take time off. After staying here for more than ten days, he went to Shuangmo Mountain next to Daguo Lake.
Undoubtedly, the goal of her trip was to pass the Frostmoist Mountain Gym guarded by Gurusha.
I just left the day before yesterday. If I come back again, I may not know what time it is.
Xia Chen was not idle either. Apart from dealing with some secret plant matters with Jiang Qian, who was also in Daguo City, the rest of his energy was focused on his own training with the elves.
Stimulated by Menas's rapid advancement in strength, the elves grew rapidly in just one month.
It was like going back to the time when I just came back from the Carlos area a year ago.
Especially SAIFHO, as its business grows bigger and bigger, its strength grows faster and faster.
By now, it has almost reached gym level strength.
Compare it to the time when it was first conquered in early March, it was just a weak and weak fortune-seeking spirit that even the senior level didn't know existed.
Two and a half years... No, in two and a half months, Saifuhao has fully proved one thing.
Charging money can really make you stronger.
…………
Xia Chen awarded the Best Improvement Award to Sai Fuhao, who had a krypton gold system. The progress of other elves was not small at all, but it was not as outstanding as Sai Fuhao.
For example, the talented Nian Nian Bao, although she has not yet been able to evolve into Nian Mei'er, with the training of many top resources and the help of her partners, she is perfectly demonstrating her amazing talents.
The purity of energy, the proficiency of moves, the actual combat experience... Nian Nian Bao's performance in many aspects amazes Gu Lerton, who has lived for more than two hundred years.
Of course, what Gu Leton marveled at was not Nianniabao's present, but her extremely high understanding and bottomless potential.
In its words, "I see in her the possibility of becoming a legend!"
Xia Chen translated it as, "My son Niannian Bao actually has the talent of a mythical beast!"
In short, the current Niannibao is like a seed with unlimited potential, continuously absorbing the nutrients, sunlight and moisture it needs from the surrounding environment.
When the time comes, it will be the moment when she breaks through the soil in one fell swoop and becomes a towering tree that can cover the sky with just the palm of her hand.
