By the window, Jiang Ruochan, bathed in sunlight, quietly read a book, strands of black hair falling beside her ear, partially obscuring her face, revealing a stunningly beautiful profile.
However, after hearing Zong Zheng Nanmo's exclamation, Jiang Ruochan spoke again.
"Don't pay too much attention to that data. The Combat Power Ranking is mainly for motivation, allowing the Reserve Force to see their strength change daily."
"Fifty percent of the foundation is realm, thirty percent is ability talent, followed by the mission objectives completed and the enhancement resources exchanged and used."
"Therefore, the combat power is very inflated. Two people at the same Third Order rank, one with 10,000 combat power might not be able to beat one with 8,000."
"...No wonder, I was wondering how the gap between Second Order and Third Order was so big," Zong Zheng Nanmo realized.
While the two were talking, Jiang Hou opened the exchange page at the top of the Combat Power Ranking.
Six types of extraordinary resources were listed, each with a description.
"Energy Crystal, Low-Order, 25 in stock, greatly increases the energy concentration and limit in an Awakened's body after use, requires 20 points to exchange."
"Demon Power Crystal, Low-Order, 3 in stock, contains rich demon power, can accelerate the demonization progress of an Awakened, requires 30 points to exchange."
"Inheritance Fragment, 1 in stock, Water Attribute, exclusive to God Inheritance, contains a partial, incomplete inheritance, requires 300 points to exchange."
"Di Sha Power, Out of Stock!"
"Soul Imprint Crystal, 2 in stock, no requirements, a special item with no usage limit, can improve blood and purify spiritual will after refining, requires 40 points to exchange."
"Supreme Yang Golden Sand, Out of Stock!"
Five of the six extraordinary resources corresponded to an awakening system, only the Soul Imprint Crystal was the most special.
Not only did it have no power system requirements, but it also had no usage limit, meaning a person could exchange and use it countless times, constantly enhancing their blood and purifying their spirit.
Of course, the premise was having enough points.
Moreover, extraordinary resources were in high demand. Two of the six were out of stock, and the others had very little stock... No, wait...
Just now, the Soul Imprint Crystal, which had been showing two in stock, also became out of stock.
At this time, Zong Zheng Nanmo also opened the exchange page, and after seeing the introduction of the Energy Crystal, he was eager to try: "President, how do you get those points? By completing tasks?"
Jiang Hou's strength was increasing significantly every day, and today it was already on par with him. If he continued to stand still, he might not even see his tail in a couple of days.
Brothers should become stronger together, preferably with him always being stronger than Jiang Hou.
Who told this guy to have a beautiful and capable childhood sweetheart.
Jiang Ruochan didn't even look up, and said lightly: "That's right, you can get points by completing tasks and exchanging them for resources. That's why many Awakened want to join Sky Punishment."
"Currently, only the Sky Punishment department, which stably controls five large passages, can steadily excavate resources, with top experts sitting in the depths of the Ruins."
"However, after decades, there are too many rifts. Some domestic extraordinary forces also control one or two small passages."
"These passages are unstable and require a fixed time to enter the Ruins, plus the forces are weak, so they get even fewer resources."
"As for taking on tasks, don't think about it for now."
"Although your realm seems to be at the late stage of First Order, you have no practical experience and are not familiar with your abilities. Taking on tasks is just asking for death. You can't even beat a Pollution Monster in the early stage of First Order."
"President, am I as weak as you say?" Zong Zheng Nanmo was a little unconvinced.
The black-haired girl nodded without any politeness, "Very weak."
The struck Zong Zheng Nanmo turned his head, looking at Jiang Hou with resentful eyes, making goosebumps rise all over him, and said unceremoniously.
"What does your weakness have to do with me, scram."
"Damn... can't even comfort a brother." Zong Zheng Nanmo gave him the middle finger.
Adhering to the principle of saying less and making fewer mistakes, Jiang Hou rarely spoke during today's club 'activities,' mostly listening to Zong Zheng Nanmo curiously asking questions.
Compared to Zong Zheng Nanmo, Jiang Hou wasn't interested in those tasks.
He could become stronger by entering the Ruins and hunting ferocious beasts, so there was no need to run errands for the authorities. This club was just a place for him to access transcendent information.
5:30 PM
When leaving, Jiang Ruochan pulled the two of them into a small group called Wind Chime Squad, and sent them two 'teaching' videos.
One was teaching Zong Zheng Nanmo how to master and train his own abilities, so he could reach the standard level as soon as possible.
The other video for Jiang Hou was an ancient boxing technique, which, after learning, could maximize his physical strength and improve his strength to a certain extent.
At six o'clock, Jiang Hou returned home. As soon as he entered the door, Qin Siyu, who was setting the table, asked strangely.
"Jiang Hou, why did you suddenly think of joining a club?"
When school was over today, Jiang Hou had sent Qin Siyu a message saying that he had joined a club and would be back later.
"Didn't you always tell me not to stay at home all day and to exercise more? So I found a club and prepared to practice boxing to exercise."
As he spoke, Jiang Hou threw his backpack on the sofa.
"Practice boxing, are you sure?" The ponytail girl was a little suspicious.
Jiang Hou had 'perked up' before, but he always slacked off after a few days, and after buying boxing gloves, he only bothered to exercise for two days before becoming too lazy to move.
"Don't believe me? I'll show you my eight-pack abs in a few days."
"More bragging." Qin Siyu obviously didn't believe him, after all, it was too fake to develop abs in a few days. Then, she happily shared with Jiang Hou about filming videos today.
At the same time, Jiang Hou learned from Qin Siyu that her classmate's name was Shen Gong Feirou.
After dinner, Qin Siyu took a shower early, put on that pink pajamas, sat on the sofa, and held the remote control, ready to find something to watch on TV.
Jiang Hou sat next to her, put on his headphones, and clicked on the video that Jiang Ruochan had sent him.
In the video, an old man wearing black practice clothes appeared, looking serious, exuding the aura of a grandmaster, and slowly introduced in a low voice.
"The ancient boxing technique I teach is called True Martial Seven Kill Fist. The boxing technique is vigorous and overbearing, with large and open movements, and has a history of more than three hundred years."
"However, the core of ancient boxing is to temper the body, condense strength, and fight the enemy. You can't cultivate the legendary inner energy or walk on walls."
"Those things are all fabricated by folk novels and do not exist at all."
"Of course, although the True Martial Seven Kill Fist cannot cultivate inner energy, as long as you master the moves, it is no problem to beat two or three ordinary people."
"If you further integrate the power of the whole body, and every move can gather the strength of the waist and legs in the fist, it is still no problem to beat ten or so ordinary people."
"For example, I am fifty-seven years old, but three years ago, when I was walking, I encountered a group of hooligans bullying a couple, and I was angry and took action, winning a complete victory against nine people."
Speaking of this, the old man's face was filled with pride and confidence, as expected of a master of a school of boxing, still able to fight nine at the age of fifty.
But at this moment, the old man in the video showed a pained expression: "It's just that I won that time, but I paid more than 100,000 in medical expenses..."
Cough cough!! The sudden turn almost made Jiang Hou choke on his saliva.
"What's wrong with you... Eh! Jiang Hou, are you really going to practice boxing?" Qin Siyu turned her head and saw the video Jiang Hou had opened on his phone, somewhat surprised.
As she spoke, the girl leaned over, her chin resting on Jiang Hou's shoulder.
Because they were so close, their faces were almost touching, and Jiang Hou could smell the faint scent of jasmine and the warm breath coming from her hair.
Of course, this wasn't body fragrance.
High school girls of this age don't have the habit of using cosmetics, and the fragrance on their bodies usually comes from laundry detergent, shower gel, or shampoo.
Three updates are done, brothers, remember to vote for support.
