All-Powerful King! Instantly Maxed Out

Ding Ling spent his entire life savings on an expensive gaming helmet. Afraid it might get damaged, he guarded it carefully all the way home, even while riding his electric scooter back to his rented apartment.

Only then did he let out a slight sigh of relief.

This was his third year in this Blue Star world. In his previous life, he had been an ordinary person. After coming to this world, which was almost identical to Earth in his previous life, he could still only be an ordinary person.

The pressure of competition was simply too great.

Ding Ling could not even afford the betrothal gifts for marriage.

Not to mention a house, a car, the three pieces of gold jewelry, the bride's departure fee, the banquet expenses, and so on.

So even after getting a girlfriend, he soon broke up with her. To this day, he was still single.

Just when Ding Ling thought his life would continue like this, a turning point appeared.

One month ago.

A groundbreaking game called Myth had appeared out of nowhere.

The game had spread across the hundreds of countries, large and small, on Blue Star at almost the speed of light!

Especially after the closed-beta players had tried it for half a month and published all kinds of impressions, the game's popularity exploded even further.

That was because the beta players discovered that as long as a person became stronger in the game, they would actually become stronger in the real world as well!

Although there were some prerequisites, once those conditions were met, the speed at which one grew stronger would exceed all imagination!

After some beta players shared comparison videos showing their strength, agility, jumping height, and other changes before and after playing...

They completely ignited the flames in the hearts of countless people.

Batch after batch of people rushed to buy gaming helmets and enter this game world, embarking on a journey of self-improvement.

Although quite a few people failed to improve themselves,

with the player base growing larger and larger, more and more people began bringing extraordinary strength out of the game!

When one frail player after another suddenly transformed into a muscular hunk,

many men were the first to lose their composure.

Which man did not have a beast dwelling in his heart? Which man did not yearn to be as agile as a dragon and become a hero?

As men poured into the game like a tidal wave,

many elderly people who longed for healthier and stronger bodies followed close behind.

Then women entered as well.

Although many people had different reasons for entering, there was no denying that this game was now known to practically everyone.

Walking down the streets, one could see advertisements for the Myth game everywhere and hear groups of people discussing its content and gameplay.

Busy with work, Ding Ling also wanted to enter the game. He had even planned to save up a little more money and buy a gaming helmet.

But two days ago, a library suddenly awakened in his mind!

Apart from endless bookshelves, there was not even a single book inside the library.

There was no explanation either.

Even so, Ding Ling was extremely excited and delighted!

He racked his brains and pondered over it for half a day, but could not figure it out.

It was only after he absentmindedly flipped through a copy of Basic Psychology at home that he accidentally discovered the library's secret.

This library can also be used in the real world!

I just don't know whether it can be used in the game.

Ding Ling hugged the helmet, his heart pounding rapidly.

It was like a penniless pauper suddenly receiving ten billion yuan, or a beggar suddenly becoming an emperor. That excitement, that dreamlike feeling, was incredibly real.

After all, Ding Ling had already planned to lie flat and live an ordinary life.

How could he remain calm after a legendary "cheat" suddenly fell into his lap?

He gently closed his eyes, and then he clearly saw a library.

The first five bookshelves at the very front of the library each held several hundred books stacked together.

They included:

"Ponzi Psychology," "High School Physics," "Advanced Mathematics," "Electromagnetism," "Architecture"...

After discovering that Basic Psychology had instantly reached the maximum level and that he had mastered it skillfully, Ding Ling was both shocked and delighted. He hurried to the library and frantically "flipped through" hundreds, even thousands, of books.

More accurately, he only flipped through them. Looking meant merely sweeping his eyes over them.

But without exception,

every single one instantly reached the maximum level!

It was no exaggeration to say

that Ding Ling was now a:

A master who had mastered dozens of foreign languages!

A doctorate in mathematics

A psychology master

God of Cooking

A master sculptor

A top chess player, calligrapher, top pianist, top painter, and professional race car driver

Besides that,

Ding Ling spent even more time searching for books on fitness, as well as various martial arts manuals.

Unfortunately,

the martial arts manuals in the real world were all just fancy routines.

Although Ding Ling had instantly reached the maximum level,

everything he had learned consisted only of forms.

Ding Ling could now say that when it came to the routines of Tai Chi, Xing Yi, Luohan Fist, Long Fist, Wing Chun, and countless other boxing, palm, and movement techniques, he said he was second, and no one dared claim to be first.

That was because he had maxed out all those routine-based martial arts! Who could compare with him?

A fitness master

A fake Tai Chi master

A fake Wing Chun master

A fake Xing Yi master!

More than a hundred different boxing, palm, and movement techniques.

All of them were fake-level.

Of course, the library cheat did not list them like that. Ding Ling had organized and categorized them in his own mind for convenience.

"I estimate there should be genuine Tai Chi masters, Xing Yi masters, and Wing Chun masters in the real world. What a pity, what a pity... I can't get in touch with them."

Ding Ling sighed.

If he could learn so many martial arts in the real world, he would definitely learn them first and worry about everything else later.

But today, he had deliberately taken leave and visited every library in the city.

He had also looked up quite a bit of information online.

Unfortunately, he had not found the martial arts he wanted.

Instead, he found all kinds of miscellaneous books, which gave Ding Ling several more titles:

A breaststroke master

A butterfly-stroke master

A running master

Some libraries did have these relatively obscure books that taught people how to swim, high jump, run, and so on.

Ding Ling instantly reached the maximum level.

It truly happened in an instant. He had completely mastered breaststroke, butterfly stroke, and the others.

One had to know that although he had not exactly been a complete landlubber before, he had not been far from it either. He had absolutely never had anything to do with being a swimming master.

But now he had an extremely clear feeling that even if he fell into the Yangtze or Yellow River, he could easily swim breaststroke or butterfly stroke in them.

Of course, he did not actually try.

That was because he had already tried out all kinds of routine martial arts yesterday.

The result was that he could perform the routine martial arts he had never known or understood before with astonishing elegance, surpassing many of the stars in the movies.

Besides that,

many foreign languages that he had previously been unable to understand were now instantly clear to him!
