Sitting on the chair, with the soft light of the bedside lamp beside him, Cheng Lin stroked the stack of papers in his hand, feeling very sad.
If when he first started practicing, he would still have a headache because there were no powers to learn, then who would have thought that after just over two months, he could already pick and choose from a pile of powers.
This feels great.
In the transaction between Tris and the elves, they exchanged part of their power research results. The elves provided some methods of casting magic, and Tris provided the field map of the superpower.
Of course, not all are provided, it can even be said to be very few, but one or two of each type are provided.
After all, what everyone needs is just an opportunity to break into the opponent's power system.
Although Cheng Lin wanted to get more field maps, he couldn't do it too openly.
Plus he doesn't need much.
Although a fully compatible physique can theoretically learn everything, people's energy is limited.
Blindly coveting "more" may lead to not being "fine" enough.
After excluding the abilities of level 3 and below, what he has in his hands are the abilities of level 4 and 5 that he currently possesses.
As for those of level six and above, I don’t know whether they are humans or have studied them.
Still hiding it and not providing it.
Take out the fifth-grade abilities first, and only the fourth-grade abilities will remain.
There are eight copies in total.
These days, Cheng Lin has carefully studied these powers several times, but he has never practiced them.
Mainly because it was too short for me to enter the fourth level.
I want to settle down my realm first.
"My current cultivation level is level 4, level 1. According to Tris's level of cultivation, the current spiritual energy reserve in my body should be 50... This is quite a lot. If it is a level 3 superpower, I can easily release ten
A few, without any pressure, not to mention the lower grades... The more powerful the power, the more spiritual energy it consumes, and correspondingly, the greater the power..."
"My most powerful method at present is the He Sword... After being smelted, the power of the He Sword has been greatly improved. Just by pouring spiritual energy into it, you can release sword energy comparable to fifth-grade combat skills...
…But the consumption is also terrifying. Based on my experience in the battle with the black leader, I can only activate it three times at most before I will be drained..."
"The consumption of fourth-level powers shouldn't be so terrible, but it's a lot to think about, so this further limits the types of powers I can learn."
Sitting on the chair, holding the paper in his hand, Cheng Lin looked thoughtful.
These days, he also has a clearer understanding of the fourth level.
The biggest difference between it and the third level is probably the requirements for cultivation...the first level is 50 accuracy, and the second level is 100 accuracy. When the fourth level peaks, it will need a reserve close to 500 accuracy.
in other words.
Under the premise that the absorption efficiency is constant, there are only two ways for him to move up the ranks.
Or it can be filled with time. For example, it used to take a week to advance to a higher rank, but now it takes a month.
The second way is to use resource heap.
It's like he upgraded from level 1 to level 3 by using a lot of "white roses".
Converted into cash, it's tens of millions.
If you still want to copy this route, try to use resources to do it. I'm afraid even a few hundred million won't be enough for Cheng Lin.
And he obviously doesn't have hundreds of millions...
"Now that I have consumed all the white roses, I have planted all the spiritual plants I brought back from Floating Continent, and they cannot be eaten for a while...
The only remaining resources are spiritual ores.
Well, I did embezzle hundreds of ores from the transaction between the two clans, but a considerable part of them still had to be reserved for the refining furnace.
He Jian is my biggest trump card, and judging from this time, if you want to smelt He Jian, you must consume a lot of ore to supply the consumption of the refining furnace...
I must leave a large part as a reserve to ensure that once I find the third He Sword, I will have enough power to smelt it successfully."
"After all, there is very little left for me to practice myself... I am so poor."
After doing a simple calculation, Cheng Lin suddenly felt so pitiful.
I originally thought I had made a lot of money this time, but after excluding all kinds of consumption, I found that there was only a little left...
"What should I do? With the current situation, when can I upgrade to the peak of the fourth level? How many months? Half a year? One year?" Cheng Lin suddenly felt desperate.
At this moment, he suddenly understood deeply the true meaning of what Huang Yin said, "The fourth grade is different from the third grade".
This prodigal's ability is simply incomparable.
Looking at it this way, how much will it cost after upgrading to the fifth or sixth grade?
Cheng Lin had heard a saying before that if a Xia family wanted to train a college student, it would cost at least one million.
Now it seems that if the country wants to cultivate a fourth-grade person, it will cost tens of millions. What about fifth-grade people? Several hundred million?
Sixth grade? Seventh grade?
With dozens of bureaus and hundreds of thousands of practitioners across the country, how much financial pressure does the country need to bear?
Cheng Lin shuddered just thinking about it.
Of course, compared to the size of the country, the pressure may not be great at the moment, but what about later?
As time goes by, there will definitely be more and more high-level practitioners in the future, and the consumption will also become greater and greater.
"No wonder the country opened up trading so quickly and established a mission hall. This is because it is trying to make money."
Sighing, Cheng Lin couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"By the way, when I go back and announce my promotion to the fourth level, the academy will also have a material subsidy... I don't know how much it will be. I hope I won't be too stingy."
Shaking his head, Cheng Lin put this troublesome matter behind him and began to face the choice of supernatural powers.
In fact, he has already made his selection in the past two days.
Fourth-grade superpowers are more complex than before, so they are more difficult to master.
Cheng Lin is currently only planning to learn two types.
The first one is still the "perception system" ability obtained from Zhu Sha in the future.
Speaking of which, this set of abilities is considered his most commonly used. One is to activate concealment, which can be used frequently. Unlike other trump cards, which can only be hidden and tucked away.
Secondly, it is very practical.
For example, he still uses the first-grade superpower "Hazy Eyes" to this day.
In addition, the construction of fourth-grade superpowers is complicated, and it is very difficult to learn a completely unfamiliar one. Since this set of superpowers comes from one person, it is closely related to each other, and the difficulty of learning is greatly reduced. It is a well-deserved choice.
…
Extract the selected fourth-grade chart.
Cheng Lin put the rest aside and looked at them by the light.
The name of this power is very strange: synesthesia
As for the specific effect, he still didn't know it. After remembering its structure in his mind, Cheng Lin closed his eyes and began to try to construct a "synaesthetic" field.
After about ten minutes, he finally built it successfully.
"boom!"
At the moment when "synesthesia" was formed, there was a roar in Cheng Lin's mind, and then, an extremely familiar scene appeared:
The mental power condensed into an invisible tentacle, spreading outside the body, and the scene seen by the tentacle emerged in his mind.
"Is this a tentacle?"
Cheng Lin was stunned.
This ability... is clearly the third-grade supernatural power "tentacles".
But...how is that possible?
Although "Synesthesia" is indeed a superpower that evolved from "tentacles", it is not exactly the same, right?
"Is it because the distance has increased?"
Cheng Lin guessed.
Tentatively, he controlled his spiritual tentacles to circle around in the spiritual world, circling along the boundary and testing the distance.
Because he was promoted to the fourth level, he found that the extended length had indeed increased, but that was it, there was nothing special about it.
This made him frown.
"It shouldn't be. It doesn't make sense to only have such a slight increase, right? The effect has not been improved, but the consumption has increased several times? There is no reason for this. Could it be that there is something wrong with this field map?"
Cheng Lin was confused and had no clue. He thought hard here while his spiritual tentacles continued to extend. However, the area of the spiritual world was limited after all. After a few turns, his spiritual tentacles extended to the sky above the medicine field.
In the medicine field.
The black magpie is pitifully catching bugs in the field by the "moonlight". It's so pitiful that it has been pampered in the zoo since birth. How can it catch bugs?
Fortunately, the medicinal field is not large, and the spiritual plants have a certain ability to protect themselves. After a lot of effort, the medicinal field was finally cleaned up.
After finishing its work, it immediately fluttered its wings and flew back, wanting to go to Cheng Lin to claim credit.
However, as soon as it jumped up, it hit the "spiritual tentacles".
The next moment, the bird's feathers all over its body were "exploded", and its small blue eyes were wide open.
"twitter?!"
At the same time, Cheng Lin, who was frowning and thinking hard, suddenly received a wave of emotion.
Yes.
mood.
The emotion was a bit vague and chaotic, but it could generally be described as "surprise" or "confusion."
If it had to be translated into human language, it would probably be equivalent to: "Holy shit, what the hell is this?"
Cheng Lin was startled and opened his eyes.
At this moment, he clearly felt that he had a secret connection with Wu Que.
sense?
Could it be that this is the so-called synesthesia?
The spiritual tentacles I extend not only function as "eyes", but they can also serve as channels for transmitting information?
Cheng Lin's eyes lit up, he pursed his lips, and tentatively conveyed a thought in his heart: "Can you hear me?"
The next moment, he saw the black magpie flying over the medicine field looking towards him suddenly.
At the same time, he also received a burst of "frightened" emotions.
"Follow my orders and land."
Passing this idea on, Cheng Lin saw Wu Que glance at him first and then land on the ground obediently.
"Take off and fly towards the big tree!"
"Come back and sprint in the opposite direction!"
"360-degree rotation in the air!"
"Dive!"
"Pull up!"
Cheng Lin began to give orders continuously through his mental tentacles.
Wu Que, who had no idea what was going on, could only be forced to follow his orders.
After some tossing, Cheng Lin finally laughed.
He smiled happily and was very excited.
At this moment, he finally understood the meaning of "synaesthesia"!
