194: Portable system
Constantly defeat the strong!
This was the most frequent phrase Grete used when teaching Zhang Youren.
"Old Grandpa, can this really make me stronger?"
Zhang Youren asked from the bottom of his heart, feeling that there was no logic to it.
Defeating the strong wouldn't increase any attributes, nor was there experience like leveling up by killing monsters in a game.
It seemed to be just a way of proving that one's strength had reached a certain level.
Zhang Youren did indeed improve rapidly with Grete's help, but that was because of Grete's Cultivation Technique.
Although it was completely different from the methods taught in school, it was a way to become stronger that was traceable, logical, and reasonable.
But what could one gain by defeating the strong?
A pleasant mood?
Or showing off?
To be honest, Zhang Youren didn't like to show off; he was a practical person.
"Youren, your vision is too narrow, but that's not your fault. After all, you were born in a High Martial Civilization."
"To put it unpleasantly, calling you a frog at the bottom of a well would be an overestimation."
"Let me just tell you the conclusion."
"Everyone has Luck, and at first, it's fixed, but this Luck isn't eternal. It can increase or decrease."
"And the way to increase Luck is to constantly defeat the strong!"
"As long as you win, a part of that invisible Luck on him will transfer to you."
"This is why some people are ruined after losing too much and can never recover; it's because their Luck has almost been completely divided."
"And some people, after being chased by their enemies and jumping off a cliff, can discover a Treasure Trove; this is because their Luck is strong, and there is always a way out."
"The strong remain strong; that's the principle!"
"My goal is to train you into a strong person who can travel the Universe alone, and even join me in killing enemies in the future."
"You might not believe it, but if your Luck isn't enough, you will surely perish on your path to becoming strong!"
"So I need you to constantly defeat strong enemies and eventually become the number one strong person on Blue Star!"
"Both for your High Martial Civilization and for my own resurrection!"
"Our interests are mutual."
The number one strong person on Blue Star!
Although it wasn't the first time Zhang Youren had heard the Old Grandpa say this, he was still deeply moved.
"Can I really do it?"
"I haven't even thought about being the number one strong person in a High Martial Civilization..."
"Believe in yourself, and believe in me. Becoming the number one strong person on Blue Star is your first step."
"Although it's indeed very difficult, I believe you can do it!"
Zhang Youren felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this. Although this Old Grandpa was strict, he always encouraged him.
He knew his talent was ordinary, only at the level of the Eight Famous Schools. This Old Grandpa must have been a super expert before!
His vision was definitely very high; even when taking disciples, he must have been very picky.
Although he was down and out now, he had never said a harsh word to him. Zhang Youren could feel his overall quality.
To sum it up in a simple phrase: "Good person."
Just as the literal meaning implies, a good person.
However, speaking of a frog at the bottom of a well, Zhang Youren suddenly thought of a question he had never asked before:
"Old Grandpa, you've been to so many planets. What level is Blue Star in the Universe?"
After a moment of thought, Grete's voice echoed in his mind:
"The Universe is vast, and I can't describe to you very specifically and accurately what level Blue Star is among the countless life planets in the Universe."
"I can only tell you that it must be at a lower-middle level."
"As for whether it's a bit lower or a bit higher within that lower-middle, I can't say."
"Is that so? That's a bit better than I thought."
"I thought Blue Star was just a low-level planet."
Zhang Youren wasn't overly pessimistic; it was just that if a planet was strong enough, it would first have a Unique ruler.
Then it would begin to colonize surrounding planets, and Blue Star clearly hadn't reached that point.
"Not to the extent of being low-level. I once passed by those low-level planets, and there were also humans there who looked similar to those in your High Martial Civilization."
"But their bodies were very weak; running a hundred meters actually took them more than ten seconds!"
"Fortunately, I didn't land on such a planet back then, otherwise, there would be no hope of resurrection in this life!"
Zhang Youren walked, occasionally raising his left hand, which, from the perspective of the screen, looked like he was acting cautiously.
Although this action seemed a bit unusual, everyone in the competition seemed to accept it, and no one thought anything was wrong.
Following the Old Grandpa's prompt, Zhang Youren, who was heading to the next item location, suddenly stopped.
As if receiving a signal, he sharply turned his head to look aside and said in a deep voice:
"Who!"
The next second, a slightly handsome man wearing a Black Dragon Martial Arts University uniform, holding a long sword, and with long hair, walked out from behind a large sand dune.
"Impressive. As expected of an 'expert whose Mental Energy talent meets the index standard'."
Wang Dadi looked at Zhang Youren with a slight smile, appearing to be up to no good.
Suddenly.
"Host, this student's 'Mental Energy talent' did indeed meet the index standard just now, but now it doesn't."
Doesn't meet it anymore?
What the hell?
An expert whose Mental Energy talent meets the index standard?
My Mental Energy is only level 13; what kind of expert am I!
Zhang Youren looked at the long-haired man who stood motionless, his expression constantly changing, and gripped the short sword in his hand.
He was in a state of readiness for battle.
Every student from a different academy was worth 1 point. The fact that the opponent was acting alone meant he should be a Grade A student.
After all, only Grade A students had the ability to earn points individually, while Grade B students needed to stick together to surround and kill Grade A students.
Perfect!
The Old Grandpa just said to fight against the strong. Although I am number 12, I am not afraid of a Grade A student!
"Oh, never mind. You look quite handsome, so I just followed you for a bit. Bye bye!"
Wang Dadi said and retreated directly, leaving Zhang Youren utterly bewildered in the wind.
"It's hard to imagine that such a situation could occur where the person involved doesn't even know what happened!"
Zhang Youren looked at the rapidly departing long-haired man and muttered to himself.
Wang Dadi left without looking back. After receiving confirmation from the Talent System, he no longer had the desire to make a move.
He would only act against opponents whose talent was deemed high enough by the System!
As long as he defeated or killed an opponent, he could copy 10% of their corresponding talent and paste it onto his own corresponding talent!
For example, the System previously judged that the Qilin Martial Arts University student's Mental Energy talent met the criteria.
As long as he defeated him, Wang Dadi could copy 10% of the opponent's Mental Energy talent onto his own Mental Energy talent!
This could not be used repeatedly on the same person.
In other words, he could only copy from the same person once, and only copy the talent with the highest index from the opponent.
Unfortunately, the System later said it wasn't the case. This was the first time such a misjudgment had occurred.
Although he didn't know the reason, Wang Dadi wouldn't fight a meaningless battle.
Moreover, fighting experts also met Wang Dadi's need to show off!
Especially since it was being live-streamed, he had to remain silent and act like an expert!
Wang Dadi didn't care about rankings or points at all. What he wanted to do was find high-talent individuals and defeat them!
Copy and paste their talents to strengthen himself!
After Wang Dadi had gone far, Grete's voice once again echoed in Zhang Youren's mind.
"I never thought that on a planet of Blue Star's level, I would encounter someone bound to a personal System!"
