Chapter 16 The Hall of Fame, give me some points!

The temple continues to refresh its notifications at breakneck speed, frantically listing the priorities and steps for assessing and rebuilding the temple.

Countless plans were proposed and then rejected in the next instant, only to be refreshed again. The computational workload of the hall was enormous, beyond Li Xia's comprehension.

Even so, it still failed to find that faint, perhaps one-time, opportunity.

Li Xia figured that the results from the hall wouldn't be available in a short time, so he simply found a comfortable brick, blew off the dust, and sat down.

I need to sort this out and process what exactly happened.

First of all, there is not just one hall, but six, each with a different name.

The temple I reside in is called the Temple of Transcendence. The others are the Mountain of Light, the Land of Bliss, the Kingdom of Gods, the Sea of ​​Demons, and the Superstring Space.

Thirty-two standard time units ago, the other five halls besieged Transcendence, leading to its destruction, and the crucial '???' was stolen.

The Hall of Transcendence also died, but not completely. From a certain perspective, it's not wrong for Transcendence to call itself the Supreme Hall. It takes the combined efforts of five halls to break through, which shows how powerful it is.

Logically, the Hall of Transcendence should have fallen into slumber, as it had lost the ability to recruit new apostles.

But fate is so strange; it came on its own!

The special item 'Proof of a Reserve Apostle' was created based on the fundamental rules of the Hall. It is itself the hall's mark, so the Hall awakened and did its best to pull itself back.

Li Xia stroked his chin, lost in thought. So what the hell is this 'certificate of a reserve apostle'?

I don't remember ever having that.

Forget about that for now. Since there's no one left in the hall, I've become the one with the highest authority in the hall according to the order of seniority.

The first generation was a rank, while the prince was a meritorious rank; in short, the yellow robe was put on very suddenly.

But how should I put it, he's a commander without an army.

No, no, let's look at it from a positive perspective. The palace is all mine now, so all the resources will belong to me.

Li Xia looked around at the devastated ruins and thought, "What resources are left?"

Out of sheer boredom, he began to examine the usefulness of his two positions.

Upon closer inspection, I was truly surprised.

First of all, all facilities inside the hall are completely free to use! No fees are required!

Secondly, the temple offered them 90% of the appraised value for their items.

The benefits from these two items alone are enormous, and perhaps those agents don't care about this expense.

But Li Xia cares! The importance of the early-stage economy goes without saying.

There are other living benefits, such as free housing provided by the temple.

It looks very ordinary, but this residence is so big that you can choose a 'world'!

It's outrageous!

The others are even more complicated. As Li Xia looked around, he discovered a clue: if the Apostle class were the staff of the Hall...

Elite Apostles are the company's middle management, while Actors are the company's senior management.

So the first generation of executives are the company's partners, and the relationship between the hall and the first generation of executives seems to be equal.

So how powerful are the real agents?

Just as Li Xia was deep in thought, there was finally a new commotion from the palace.

The reconstruction plan is now complete!

[The plan is being broken down, with a total of 12874861234987 sub-items. Similar items are being merged, and sub-items are being optimized.]

[The plan involves restructuring a total of 38457723 sub-items, including 214563 world bubbles, 2783 dangerous zones in the Void Origin World, 452 Despair Zones, 84 Death Zones, and 3 Untouchable Zones.]

[Your Excellency, the First Generation Traveler, please conquer these worlds and plunder the resources needed by the Palace!]

Li Xia's lips twitched twice. "I'm going to trample it flat? Really?"

[Certain error. The Actor's strength is determined to be that of a low-level Tier 1 Apostle, with a death probability exceeding 100%.]

Li Xia:

Thank you for remembering that I was a lowly apostle.

[Task modified; improving the agent's strength will now be a task of equal priority.]

[Search available resources and perform emergency repairs]

Li Xia noticed that a large area of ​​building debris suddenly floated up from the ruins in the distance, and under the influence of an invisible force, it instantly dispersed into countless parts.

Some of the parts began to glow with a milky white light, and as if they had come to life, they gathered in the same direction and pieced themselves together.

Finally, it formed a semi-circular, igloo-like structure and landed on the ground.

[Your Excellency, the Agent, you can enhance your attributes and improve your skills here.]

Thank goodness, at least there's still a way to strengthen myself!

Li Xia stepped into the strange-looking snow house. Although there was no light source inside, it was surprisingly bright.

His personal panel reappeared in front of him.

Name: Li Xia

[Number: 1]

[Level: First Generation]

[Rank of Merit: Prince]

[Physical Strength Assessment: 1 (First-order carbon-based organism)]

Strength: 4 (Increasing this attribute will increase Strength)

[Agility: 5 (Increasing this attribute improves attack speed and reaction speed)]

Intelligence: 6 (Increasing this attribute improves spell model construction and complex fuzzy logic capabilities)

[Spirit: 5 (Increasing this attribute raises the maximum Spirit Power and reduces the cost of casting abilities)]

[Physique: 5 (Increasing this attribute improves healing ability, cardiopulmonary function, and other endurance-related aspects)]

[Luck: 0 (Increasing/decreasing this attribute can increase the probability of low-probability events occurring and make the results tend to have a positive/negative impact)]

[Note: Earth, 22% oxygen environment, standard gravity, average attribute value for a typical adult male is 5]

[Skill: Sun Breathing (Beginner Level 0%)]

[Equipment: None]

Personal storage space: 100 cubic meters — ? ? (depending on the extent of the hall's restoration)

[Talent Ability: A Blessing in Disaster (Fate-Level)]

Current attribute points: 6

A '+' sign appears next to each of the basic attributes on the panel; you can add points directly by selecting it.

Li Xia pondered for a moment, about to reach out and add some more, but suddenly stopped, hesitated for a moment, and then asked:

"If we train in the real world, can we improve our basic attributes?"

【Can】

Just as I expected! A hint of excitement flashed in Li Xia's eyes. It was difficult to improve from 5 to 10, but it was not difficult to improve from 5 to 6 or 7.

If you hold back your skill points and train in real life, you can then hold back your skill points before returning to the Hall of Fame and traversing the world.

Doesn't this mean I got several attribute points for free?

And that's not all. Li Xia's breathing became rapid as he recalled the scene of learning Sun Breathing.

Since skills can be acquired through learning, can some basic abilities also be learned in real life and thus become skills?

For example, shooting techniques, combat techniques, and so on.

The hall quickly gave an affirmative answer!

I'm a fucking genius!

Therefore, the only thing I need to improve right now is Sun Breathing!

Thinking of this, Li Xia decisively pointed to the plus sign after the Breath of the Sun.

Hall of Fame, give me some points!

Although very few people see this, I earnestly request that you not keep them; they are very easy to kill. Thank you.

Chapter 17 Terrifying Skill Enhancement

The semi-circular hut roared, and the originally soft light became incredibly dazzling. Li Xia closed his eyes and shielded his face with his hands, but even so, he still felt a white light in front of him.

As the light gradually faded, Li Xia sniffed in confusion. Before he knew it, a moist air, carrying the scent of earth and grass, lingered around his nose.

Slowly opening my eyes, I found the world before me to be completely different.

The small wooden house of Tanjuro's family was right in front of him, the sunlight was just right, casting a dappled pattern of light and shadow on the ground through the branches and leaves.

A gentle breeze swept across the grass, creating waves of green.

"You're my student?"

Li Xia suddenly turned around and saw Kamado Tanjuro standing behind him, but he was almost a completely different person compared to before.

His once thin cheeks became full again, and his hunched body straightened up.

This is Tanjuro after the debuff has been removed!

Li Xia tried to exchange a few words with Tanjuro, but found that he had not been endowed with much wisdom and could only give simple answers.

Hmm. Maybe it's because the Hall of Despicables wants to save resources.

Since we can't reminisce, let's focus on our studies.

Wait, study? Li Xia was startled. No, why should I study?

Isn't skill upgrade just a simple click that instantly levels you up? Or do you have to learn it yourself?

An ominous premonition rose in Li Xia's heart, and soon that premonition came true.

The reason for saving resources and setting only simple and intelligent settings is to avoid distractions.

As soon as he lost focus, Tanjuro immediately stood up:

"Oh? It seems you've already achieved some success. Let's give it a try then."

He drew his wooden sword to fight, but after being brutally beaten, he still shook his head.

The key point is that the time involved is extremely long, and it's impossible to judge how much time has passed by sunrise and sunset.

This kind of painful feeling, like being in prison, can drive a person crazy.

"Breathe, pay attention to the connection and flow between breaths!"

"Feel with your heart, feel every movement!"

If possible, Li Xia would never choose this method to improve his skills again, absolutely not!

[The First Crown has been detected to be carrying too much load per unit time, exceeding the mental limit. Related learning and memories will be temporarily blurred.]

Is that all? Li Xia twisted his neck uncomfortably, feeling extremely tired.

This feeling of being completely drained is like pulling an all-nighter followed by a week of intensive calculus classes.
