Microscopic Level Technique! [Please Send Flowers, Bookmark, and Rate!]

"Enough, enough! That's enough, that's enough!"

"System, I give this new feature of yours a thumbs-up, hahaha!"

Su Xiaobai could not help laughing out loud.

It did not matter if the Shadow died!

As long as it could automatically respawn!

Though that would make monster-hunting less efficient, it was still better than doing it himself!

Just imagine it—once he unlocked Automated Monster Hunting, Su Xiaobai would obtain Fierce Beast Loot every day... and every bit of it was worth money!

He could casually sell it for several thousand or tens of thousands of Spirit Coins. After accumulating it for a while, Su Xiaobai would have money to keep upgrading the Training Space, Skill Practice Space, and Automated Monster Hunting!

Higher levels meant Su Xiaobai would become stronger.

It also meant the Shadow would become stronger.

Automated Monster Hunting would become more efficient, and the Fierce Beast Loot it obtained would be more valuable!

That would make his leveling speed even faster...

This was a perfect leveling cycle!

"By the way, System, does upgrading Automated Monster Hunting also increase the time flow within the space?"

Su Xiaobai asked curiously.

"No, Host. Level 2 Automated Monster Hunting costs 1.2 million Spirit Coins. It can release two Shadows simultaneously to hunt Fierce Beasts in two different areas!"

"Level 3 Automated Monster Hunting costs 3.6 million Spirit Coins. It can release three Shadows simultaneously to hunt Fierce Beasts in three different areas!"

Wow!

This upgrade was simply terrifying!!

Su Xiaobai had thought upgrading would merely speed up monster hunting. He had never expected it to directly create another Shadow, allowing them to harvest Fierce Beasts in two separate places... In other words, after Automated Monster Hunting was upgraded, Su Xiaobai could receive twice the Loot and earn twice the money!

And as the Automated Monster Hunting feature continued to level up, he would be able to release even more Shadows and obtain even more Loot!

The only downside was probably the increasing Spirit Coin cost of upgrading it.

One-Click Cultivation and One-Click Skill Practice both doubled with each upgrade.

But Automated Monster Hunting had plainly become a threefold increase!

"Still, it makes sense... How could such an awesome cheat-like artifact be cheap?"

"So what if upgrades cost more? Once my strength soars, would I still be short of this little money?"

Su Xiaobai was overjoyed.

Once he had strength, these Spirit Coins would be nothing at all!

"I still have 200,000 left. Now that I have this One-Click Training Space, it's time for me to learn some new techniques and improve my strength!"

"With 200,000, I should be able to learn several Microscopic Level Techniques, right?"

Beginner Level techniques, like the Basic Body Tempering Method, belonged to the entry level... But aside from the publicly available Basic Body Tempering Method, other Beginner Level techniques were exceedingly rare!

Above Beginner Level techniques were Microscopic Level techniques!

Beginner Level techniques were already hard enough to come by.

One could only imagine how rare Microscopic Level techniques were!

Either one had to be from a family like Zhang Hengxing's, spending vast sums to purchase them for collection and specifically allowing one's clansmen to cultivate them.

Or one had to achieve outstanding results at school and be recognized as an elite genius before receiving an opportunity to study such Microscopic Level techniques... But it was only an opportunity, not the gift of an entire technique manual!

Otherwise, one had to go to the Martial Arts Pavilion in the Warrior Hall and pay a steep price in exchange for study time... Microscopic Level techniques started at a minimum of 100,000 Spirit Coins!

That was why Warriors burned through money.

How could ordinary people possibly sustain such terrifying expenses?

But Su Xiaobai had 200,000, as well as the Automated Training Space... He did not need to master much. He only needed to memorize the contents!

With 200,000, he could at least memorize several Microscopic Level techniques, right?

With that, the Martial Arts Pavilion in the Warrior Hall had become his greatest treasure trove!

"Microscopic Level techniques, here I come!"

In the Core Area, within Zhang Family Manor.

At that moment, Zhang Hengxing stood respectfully before several middle-aged men, recounting everything that had happened during the day.

One of the middle-aged men had sword-like brows and bright eyes. He was Zhang Hengxing's father, Zhang Henglong, the current head of the Zhang Family—and a genuine Advanced Martial Master!

An Advanced Martial Master was only one step away from becoming a Martial General.

Once he broke through the shackles of Martial General, the Zhang Family could rise another step and become a renowned major family in Base No. 18!

"Hengxing, are you sure you didn't make a mistake? You actually spent 100,000 to hire a classmate as a Guest Elder of the family?"

Another middle-aged man could not help saying, "This is simply absurd!"

This middle-aged man was Zhang Hengxing's second uncle, Zhang Hengde.

He was also a Martial Master, though one rank lower than Zhang Henglong—only Intermediate.

Standing beside him were all the Zhang Family's Martial Masters, ranging from Low Grade to Intermediate... They were the backbone of the entire Zhang Family!

"Second Uncle, his Cultivation Aptitude is truly very high. I personally witnessed him rise from a Junior Quasi-Warrior to a Senior Quasi-Warrior in a single month. I believe his Cultivation Aptitude has already reached High Grade!"

Zhang Hengxing hurriedly said, "For such a talent to become a Guest Elder of our family would be a tremendous blessing for the Zhang Family!"

"Whether his Cultivation Aptitude is high or not is beside the point. Having a brat the same age as you serve as a Guest Elder of the Zhang Family—if word of this gets out, how will our Zhang Family maintain its footing?"

Zhang Hengbo rebuked him.

The other Zhang Family Martial Masters silently nodded as well.

The Zhang Family's Guest Elders were, at the very least, Martial Masters!

The stronger the Guest Elders, the stronger the family appeared, and outsiders would not dare invade recklessly.

Yet Zhang Hengxing had invited a little brat who was still a Quasi-Warrior to become a Guest Elder of the Zhang Family. If that was not absurd, what was?

"Second Brother."

Family Head Zhang Henglong raised a hand, his sharp gaze fixed directly on Zhang Hengxing. "Hengxing, if the classmate you invited truly possesses High Grade Cultivation Aptitude, then I will grant your request. Even if it is Intermediate, I will acknowledge him as a Guest Elder of the Zhang Family. But if his Cultivation Aptitude is Low Grade or below... Hengxing, I need not say more, do I?"

Among the tens of thousands of Warriors in all of Base No. 18, those with High Grade Cultivation Aptitude were few and far between. Who would not be delighted to recruit such a promising talent?

Even Intermediate Aptitude belonged to the elite tier. Becoming a Martial Master would only be a matter of time, and with good fortune, one might even reach Martial General!

As for Low Grade... that would certainly be useless.

"Father, rest assured. Su Xiaobai will visit in a few days. When that time comes, he will definitely make you all see him in a new light!"

Zhang Hengxing said with absolute certainty.

He believed that the person he had chosen could not possibly be wrong!

The next day, Warrior Hall, third floor of the Martial Arts Pavilion.

"Netherworld Step, a Microscopic Level Body Tempering Technique. It can strengthen agility and movement techniques... 15,000 Spirit Coins per hour."

"Demon Slaying Saber, a Microscopic Level Weapon Technique. A single layer of saber intent can Amplify attack power by 50%... 30,000 Spirit Coins per hour."

"Purple Lightning Art, a Beginner Level Attribute Technique. It can strike lightning from thin air... 100,000 Spirit Coins per hour!"

"Damn! What ordinary person could possibly afford these prices?"
