Chapter 14 Bone Tempering Speed
Chapter 14 Bone Tempering Speed
Looking further ahead, well, the kill points are 147, and then nothing changes.
and many more!
Why did my kill points become 147?
Lu Hao looked at the kill points on the panel with a puzzled expression. At first, he thought he had missed a zero, but when he looked again, it was still 147, without any change.
This isn't right. I didn't use any kill points, so how did it become 147?
After thinking about it carefully, Lu Hao realized that the change in killing points was his advancement to a martial artist.
Does this mean that the kill points gained will decrease after advancing to the next level, shrinking from 1475 kill points to 147 kill points?
Does that mean that the killing points for slaughtering a pig are now only 0.2?
Lu Hao felt that he had guessed correctly. After all, if the killing points did not decrease, it would be impossible to reach the high-grade grandmaster level by simply killing pigs.
It seems my plan to become the Sword God of Shili Slope has fallen through before it even began.
Lu Hao thought for a moment. He was still a quasi-martial artist before, so killing the pigs earned him kill points.
Now that he has broken through to become a first-grade martial artist, does that mean he needs to kill opponents of the same grade to gain killing points?
Do farmed animals with top-tier qualities exist?
The animals in the underground caves might be born with the strength of first or second rank, but there are no such farmed animals on Earth.
If I want to gain kill points, I can only target humans and kill those wanted martial artists.
Lu Hao walked into the washroom, washing up while pondering what to do next.
I tried using kill points to restore health and spirit, but there was no change; one kill point still restores 10 units of health or 5 units of spirit.
It seems that only the acquisition method has changed.
I have now broken through to the first rank after three bone temperings. The average first-rank martial artist has between 180 and 250 kilocalories of qi and blood. A martial artist who completes the breakthrough after one bone tempering will reach the peak of the first rank with about 250 kilocalories of qi and blood.
My current Qi and Blood level is 241, which is almost the same as theirs. Those criminal martial artists are usually social martial artists, and there are very few martial arts university students.
This has led to these social martial artists practicing techniques they've figured out, with very few having complete basic combat methods.
Although their bones have been tempered and their defense has increased significantly, they can still forge a good weapon themselves, in addition to their high health and the ability to recover health at any time.
That's a good idea.
Lu Hao made up his mind to check how many kill points the slaughtering had dropped to tomorrow. If it was really 0.2, he would start practicing his combat skills diligently. Once he had mastered his combat skills, he would prepare to start taking on missions to increase his kill points.
But now there's a problem: if I want to take on the mission, I can't avoid my mother, but if she finds out, she definitely won't agree.
I can only take it one step at a time. First, I'll improve my basic combat skills to a minor level, and then I'll try to persuade my mother.
After washing up, because I had consumed too much energy, I didn't do any standing meditation today and just rested.
……
The next day,
After breakfast, Lu Hao went to the training room to practice basic combat techniques and stance training. However, because he had just broken through and his qi and blood had increased significantly, Lu Hao was now somewhat unskilled.
Previously, a single strike could barely split the bluestone into three or four pieces, indicating a significant improvement in the control of Qi and Blood. However, today, with another strike, the bluestone shattered again, indicating an imbalance in the control of Qi and Blood.
With no other option, Lu Hao had to start practicing from the most basic leg techniques, fist techniques, and simple slashing again, to familiarize himself with the surge of qi and blood.
However, with the memories from before, the improvement in the control of Qi and blood is no longer as slow as before.
In the afternoon, Lu Hao arrived at the slaughterhouse.
As soon as he slaughtered a pig, Lu Hao's face darkened. His panel stopped displaying anything, let alone increasing his kill points. It seemed that only martial artists of the same rank could increase his kill points from now on.
Fortunately, I had saved up a batch of kill points beforehand, which, even if reduced, were enough to restore my health two or three times.
But since I'm already here, I'll finish today's work and then resign.
In the evening, after finishing his slaughtering duties for the day, Lu Hao told his boss that he was about to start school and would no longer be able to work there, so he was resigning.
The boss didn't say anything more. After paying Lu Hao's wages, Lu Hao left.
Walking down the street, I weighed the five thousand yuan in my hand. It wasn't even enough to apply to Wuhan University of Science and Technology. Applying to Wuhan University of Science and Technology through the college entrance examination costs twenty thousand yuan.
Ordinary people would struggle to even scrape together 20,000, let alone the various elixirs needed for martial arts training, which are simply unimaginable.
After the meal, Lu Hao's blood and energy had fully recovered, so he began to temper his bones. There were a total of 62 lower limb bones in the first grade, and once the tempering was completed, he could break through to the second grade.
Lu Hao began to consume his qi and blood to temper his toe bone. As the qi and blood flowed in, the toe bone began to become translucent, and at the same time, black impurities were expelled.
Half an hour later, Lu Hao felt that his energy and blood were almost depleted, so he stopped.
[Qi and Blood: 27/241]
Lu Hao roughly estimated the degree of tempering of this toe bone, and it would take a little more time to complete the tempering process.
Lu Hao's vital energy was depleted, and he needed a day to recover. In other words, the speed of tempering a bone would be about two days, but less than three days.
Lu Hao used his kill points to restore his health and continued to refine the bone. He wanted to see exactly how many kill points were consumed in refining a single bone.
Half an hour later, the toe bone was tempered and Lu Hao felt an increase in his blood and qi.
Lu Hao opened the panel
[Qi and Blood: 23/242]
Kill Points: 117
Tempering a bone increases one's Qi and Blood by one unit.
It cost 30 kill points, equivalent to 300 calories of health. Adding the health consumed during the initial tempering, it takes about 500 calories of health, or 50 kill points, to temper one bone.
Without using kill points, it would take about two days to refine one piece. 62 pieces would take 124 days, and that's a conservative estimate; the actual time would be much longer.
In other words, without using kill points, it would take about four months to reach the peak of the first rank through self-tempering. It's March now, so it will probably be around July before we reach the peak of the first rank.
This is far too slow. It seems I need to start taking on missions and acquiring kill points sooner.
If those who have undergone bone tempering once or twice heard these words, they would definitely curse and say that he is not human. If he thinks this is too slow, then his tempering speed is even slower.
Lu Hao is now very envious of Fang Ping's wealth value system. With wealth value, one can directly temper bones. If he had Fang Ping's wealth value system, Lu Hao is confident that he can break through to the second rank within a month.
For now, I can only focus on practicing combat techniques. Once I've mastered them to a minor level, I'll tell my mother about my plans to do missions.
This stupid interface is forcing me to kill people, to kill martial artists.
Cheating is fun, but the price is high.
