Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 20 Buying the Secret Manual

After watching the video, Yang Wu began to browse the various functions of Extreme Home.

The Ultimate Home has many functions, divided into many sections. There are sections for receiving and posting tasks, sections for chatting and making friends, and sections related to cultivation.

However, Yang Wu's most important focus is the "online shopping mall" section.

The online marketplace is all-encompassing, offering everything from various guiding techniques, movement skills manuals, marksmanship manuals, firearms, melee weapons, gene serums, and more—nothing is off-limits, and nothing is impossible.

"What I need most right now is to find a secret manual that can improve my physical strength!"

Despite the dazzling array of goods, Yang Wu never forgot his purpose.

"Blazing Spear Technique!"

Yang Wu entered this name into the cheat manual category.

The Blazing Spear Technique was a manual that Yang Wu had purchased in a simulator. It contained techniques for generating power and spear techniques. Yang Wu mastered the spear techniques, but he did not learn the techniques for generating power.

After Yang Wu searched, the full introduction to the Blazing Spear Technique immediately appeared on the screen.

"Blazing Spear Technique", Category: Spear Technique. Rating: A-level. Price: 5 million Huaxia Coins (full price), 2.5 million Huaxia Coins (half price, requirement: two-star contribution points).

Yang Wu looked at the detailed description of the manual and immediately lost interest in it.

Firstly, the level of the manual is too low, with limited potential; secondly, the Flaming Spear Technique only includes spear techniques and power generation skills, but does not include the accompanying movement techniques and guiding skills, which need to be purchased separately.

"If I'm going to learn, I'll learn the best!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

Although Yang Wu knew that his talent wasn't particularly outstanding, he was confident in the simulator. He believed that as long as he purchased the manual, he would eventually be able to master it.

Having made up his mind, Yang Wu directly entered attack-related cheat codes into the search bar.

Immediately, photos of the actual manuals, their names, prices, and various descriptions appeared on the screen.

At the top of the list is a set of marksmanship techniques, the ultimate marksmanship technique "World Destruction" created by the world's strongest man, "Hong".

"Apocalypse", Category: Gunplay. Rating: Ultimate. Price: 1000 billion Chinese Yuan (full price), 500 billion Chinese Yuan (half price, requirement: four-star contribution points).

"Ninefold Thunder Blade", Category: Blade Technique. Rating: Ultimate. Price: 1000 billion Huaxia Coins (full price), 500 billion Huaxia Coins (half price. Requirement: Four-star contribution points).

……

"Phantom Blade Technique", Category: Blade Technique.

……

There are a wide variety of secret manuals, each with an exorbitant price tag. The top-tier manuals, in particular, can bankrupt even the wealthiest person.

"Luo Feng learned Thor's Nine-Fold Thunder Blade! As for me, of course I'll learn Hong's World-Destroying Spear Technique!"

Yang Wu, who was familiar with the original work, knew that the manuals could be purchased separately, so he wasn't worried about not being able to afford them.

With a light swipe of his finger, Yang Wu opened the detailed introduction to the spear technique manual "World Destruction".

"World Destruction" is the world's number one attack method created by the world's strongest person, "Hong," and it includes accompanying movement techniques and guidance techniques.

The complete six-level "World Destruction" costs 1000 billion Chinese Yuan, or 500 billion Chinese Yuan at half price (requirement: four-star contribution points).

The first five levels of "World Destruction" cost 400 billion Chinese Yuan, with a half-price offer of 200 billion Chinese Yuan (requirement: four-star contribution points).

……

The first level of "World Destruction" costs 2 million Chinese Yuan, or 1 million Chinese Yuan at half price (requirement: one-star contribution points).

At the very bottom of the webpage, there is a prominent red reminder.

"The 'World Destruction' is the ultimate spear technique, extremely difficult to master and even harder to learn. Most martial artists worldwide who purchase this technique haven't even reached the first level. Please consider carefully before choosing this technique!"

After seeing the price, Yang Wu realized that with his funds, he could only afford the first level of the manual.

"However, the first level is enough for now! Once I have the first level, even if my simulator self finishes cultivating it, I'll probably just buy the second level instead of cultivating other secret techniques."

With a swipe of his finger, Yang Wu chose to purchase the first level of "World Destruction".

After passing fingerprint verification, all the special funds awarded by Yang Wu's Extreme Martial Arts Academy for purchasing the manual were cleared, and the first level of the manual was successfully purchased.

"drop!"

"Payment successful!"

"The first level of the 'World Destruction' manual will be delivered to Mr. Yang Wu's home within 24 hours!" The screen displayed a series of notifications.

Next, Yang Wu browsed through some of the necessary equipment for heading to the wilderness area, including weapons and combat clothing.

However, Yang Wu had already used his privilege of ignoring contribution points to buy skill manuals, so he no longer had that discount when buying weapons and equipment.

"I'll ask someone to help me buy it tomorrow!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

Besides the secret manuals, some weapons and equipment, as well as special medicines such as gene serums, can be purchased with the help of people who have made high contributions.

……

The next morning, right after breakfast, Yang Wu's sister and brother-in-law prepared to leave.

"Sister!" Yang Wu called out to them, "Why don't you and your brother-in-law move in here?"

Yang Yun, Yang's older sister, and Lu Hongfei, her brother-in-law, met when they were in college. Although Lu Hongfei has a good job now, it is impossible for him to live in a detached villa, let alone a detached villa specifically built for martial artists.

Yang Yun and Yang Wu had a very good relationship. Every time she went home, she would bring Yang Wu some expensive monster meat or something else.

Hearing Yang Wu's words, Yang Yun was somewhat moved. She naturally knew that her brother was not just being polite, so she turned to look at Lu Hongfei beside her.

Lu Hongfei was naturally unwilling. Although living in a detached villa was indeed very comfortable, it was not his home after all. Staying there for a few days occasionally was fine, but he was absolutely unwilling to live there long-term.

Yang Yun and Lu Hongfei understood each other perfectly; seeing the expression on his face, she immediately understood his thoughts.

"Second brother, we're perfectly fine living at home. Why would we move here? Besides, your brother-in-law and I don't work here, so it's really inconvenient!"

"Just quit your job, sis! What kind of jobs do you and your husband like? I'll find you one near Mingyue Residential Area!"

Yang Wu confidently declared that he now possessed the strength of a warrior general, and finding good jobs for Yang Yun and her companion would be a piece of cake.

"No need to trouble yourself!" Yang Yun shook her head and refused, "Your brother-in-law and I really like our current jobs!"

Seeing that Yang Yun was determined to leave, Yang Wu didn't say much, and could only smile and say, "Alright then! But, sister, you and brother-in-law must come and visit Mom and Dad often!"

From now on, Yang Wu will be frequently venturing into the wilderness, while his younger brother Yang Fan will still be in school. Yang Wu is worried that his parents will be lonely.

"Of course!" Yang Yun smiled.
