Chapter 43: The first step to hardcore: doing academic research in prison

"This is the enlightenment!" Feng Xue suddenly realized, but then he found that among the optional skills that popped up, there were no options for [Architecture] and [War Architecture]. Not only that, he also lost the skills he mastered, such as [Exchange Rate Calculation], [Prison Law], [Civil Engineering], etc. Instead, there were more skills that he had not mastered, such as [Lock Picking], [Master Hands], [Fraud], etc.

"It seems that we can only choose from the skills that the inmates in the prison have. But that's right, we have to learn it only if others know it."

Feng Xue muttered to himself, there was nothing to hesitate about, his top priority now was practical combat ability, and there happened to be a part about assassination in the skill list, so he could just max it out.

As for deducting san value...

As a former card player, Feng Xue is very open-minded about this. As long as the health points, san points and other values ​​are not reduced to zero, they should be used when necessary!

However, unlike what Feng Xue had imagined, this time the skill upgrade was not like using professional tools or unlocking coupons to directly gain a lot of knowledge, but...

"Hey! What are you daydreaming about? Let's start!"

Standing in the not-so-spacious cell, Feng Xue was a little confused and at a loss for a moment, but the urging voice in his ear brought him back to his senses.

Looking at the middle-aged man who was about forty years old, Feng Xue roughly understood that this should be the so-called cellmate, but he still didn't quite understand what he should do.

"Didn't you say you wanted to learn a few tricks? Come on! The lights will be turned off soon!"

The man urged with a slightly dissatisfied look, and Feng Xue finally reacted and wanted to swing his fist immediately, but at this moment, he suddenly found that the previous dream supplement of "what you think is what you get" had completely lost its effect at this moment. He clearly knew in his mind how to punch, but when he swung it, it was completely different!
"I see, this is real combat training..."

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Feng Xue felt a sharp pain and was thrown to the ground. The middle-aged man looked down at him with contempt and said in a disdainful tone:
"I heard that you killed more than a dozen people by yourself, and I thought you were a great figure, but it turns out that this is all you can do? Young people nowadays are getting more and more outrageous!"

"Oh! I won't die! How can I master this skill?" Feng Xue immediately got up from the ground. He did not attack blindly, but compared the knowledge in his mind while making tentative attacks.

In the state of enlightenment in Longchang, he not only lost the full utilization of the skills of Dream Correction, but even the collections lost their function. Whether it was the damage reduction of the Bloody Recording or the attack enhancement of the Fire Axe, they seemed to be non-existent at this time. However, Feng Xue, who knew that the opportunity was rare, did not care about these at all and launched attacks again and again.

Although the result each time was that he was thrown heavily to the ground, the pain was not enough to affect his enthusiasm.

You won’t die anyway, so practice! Practice until you die!
Although the lights are about to be turned off, the actual training time is much longer than the few hours before lights out.

During the attacks again and again, Feng Xue could not feel the passage of time at all, but time was indeed passing slowly.

From the free activities in the evening, to the sleeping time after lights out, to the work and study during the day, time goes on and on, but Feng Xue has long forgotten the fact that he is still in the pigeon node.

It was like he was really serving his sentence in a well-organized prison. In addition to the most basic workload every day, he constantly attacked his cellmates from all angles, and frantically learned how to kill the enemy from the battles with them. In the small prison cell, the two of them really simulated a variety of combat environments, and with the cooperation of other inmates, they even had room to apply techniques such as shrinking bones, camouflage, and voice changing.

In such a battle, Feng Xue had long forgotten the passage of time. He only knew that every time he attacked, he was more in line with the assassination techniques in his mind, the assassination fist of the Lou family, the breath-concealing technique of the Rainbow Cherry Killer, the joint skills of the Star Ring Fighter... All kinds of moves became more and more proficient in use, and the time of stalemate with this middle-aged man became longer and longer.

Originally he would be knocked down at the first encounter, but now he can hold out for a few breaths, from the initial head-on fight to sudden attacks in various postures.

Then, at a certain moment, all this came to an abrupt end.

The node in the prison froze in an instant, and Feng Xue's already somewhat possessed mind suddenly left his body. When the picture collapsed into a small square, Feng Xue's consciousness returned to the node selection interface.

Feng Xue stared blankly at the [Longchang Enlightenment] that had turned gray, and was a little dazed for a moment. After being silent for a long time, he finally regained his sanity. He raised his head to take a look at the san value in the center of the interface, but it was only 47 points left. In his skill column, the rating of assassination had soared to "expert".

"I remember that before I entered the Dragon Field Enlightenment Node, I should have had more than 80 san points. In other words, to upgrade my skills to the expert level, I need to consume thirty... well, maybe forty san points? Is this a one-time consumption, or is it consumed over time? Or is it consumed in stages according to the upgrade level? I don't know how much it will take to upgrade to the Grandmaster level? Sixty? Or more?"

Feng Xue calculated the consumption of san value, and then shook his head, because he had discovered that the enlightenment in Longchang was not an all-round and unlimited improvement of skills.

The learning process should be limited by the strength of the inmates and the prison environment. For example, Feng Xue's various unarmed abilities have improved qualitatively, but skills such as firearms and fighting are still stuck in the category of theoretical knowledge.

This is probably because there is a lack of shooting ranges or other places in the prison where he can come into contact with and train with firearms.

"Well, it could also be that the inmates aren't good at these things."

Feng Xue muttered a few words quietly, but he clearly realized the value of the node [Enlightenment in Longchang].

Even though he is very powerful within the golden finger, this is largely because he is in the state of dream correction. As long as he understands the relevant knowledge, he can apply it, not to mention the additional enhancements from various collections.

But after returning to reality, I'm afraid it's no different from the first actual experience of a young boy who has watched countless movies.

However, the node [Enlightenment in Longchang] will avoid the dream correction and collection effects, and the experience gained from training can be applied in reality.

This is much more practical than the skills obtained from skill unlocking coupons!
"But Longchang Enlightenment seems to have come about as a result of the previous incarnation's 'jail time'. In other words, if I want to enter more Longchang Enlightenment nodes, I have to go to jail more times?"
