New Achievement! Exploiting a System Bug?

"I don't recommend you do that," Chen Zilu said.

Jiang Ye asked in confusion, "Why?"

"Could it be that Starry Sky energy has side effects, like taking performance-enhancing drugs?"

"No."

Chen Zilu shook her head and explained, "You have Primitive innate talent, so your efficiency in absorbing Star energy is very low."

"The reason Starry Sky energy is called that is because it comes from the starry sky. Humans first discovered this substance on Mars hundreds of years ago."

"Therefore, the price of Star energy is far higher than Martial Arts ingredients, and the expenditure is much greater than the harvest. It's not worth it," Chen Zilu said.

Jiang Ye was slightly stunned.

Primitive innate talent, with very low absorption efficiency?

He suddenly remembered a question that had been bothering him.

The difference between physique and innate talent.

The Blue Star Federation valued Martial Arts innate talent so highly; there must be a reason.

Jiang Ye couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, is the grading of innate talent related to Star energy?"

"That's right."

Chen Zilu nodded indeed and said, "Starry Sky energy is very important to Starry Sky Martial Artists. After stepping onto the path of Starry Sky Martial Arts, only by continuously absorbing this energy can life's transformation be driven."

"And the higher the innate talent, the higher the efficiency of absorbing Star energy."

Jiang Ye understood.

Hundreds of years ago, Blue Star civilization connected with the starry sky.

Now, humanity's footprints have spread throughout the entire solar system.

It is said that the current cultivation system, 'Starry Sky Martial Arts,' was discovered during the exploration of the solar system.

Now it seems that all of this is related to Starry Sky energy.

The reason Primitive innate talent is called 'low-grade innate talent' is also due to its extremely low absorption efficiency.

"So, when it comes to Starry Sky Refinement, won't the time I spend be longer than others?"

Jiang Ye frowned slightly.

In this way, the difficulty for him to break through to the first level was even greater than he had initially imagined!

At this moment, a light chuckle came from his watch: "Don't worry about Starry Sky Refinement; I have my own way to help you speed it up then."

"Your goal now is to reach the perfection of the cultivation method as soon as possible."

Jiang Ye's expression brightened upon hearing this, and he said repeatedly, "Thank you, Teacher."

"Mm, any other questions?"

"No."

"Be careful. People have been going missing in the city recently," Chen Zilu said.

Jiang Ye was slightly stunned: "Is it Shadow Calamity?"

Chen Zilu shook her head: "Not necessarily. It could also be human factors. In any case, be careful during this period."

Jiang Ye nodded: "Okay, you too."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ye sat in place, lost in thought.

Whether it was the potential danger or the difficulty of Starry Sky Refinement, it only strengthened his resolve.

Become stronger!

Break through to the perfection of the Star Martial Cultivation Method as soon as possible and enter the Key Class.

Jiang Ye's gaze became even more determined.

But just then, his eyes suddenly widened slightly.

"This is…"

In front of him, several system messages suddenly popped up!

[Warning! Warning! Your hearing has reached this System's upper limit!]

[You have achieved a new accomplishment: Clearly perceiving sounds from ten kilometers away and engaging in a conversation with someone ten kilometers away!]

[Title unlocked: Wind-Following Ear]

[Reward: Hearing increased by 200%, clearer the farther away it is!]

--

Jiang Ye was utterly stunned.

No way!

He just made a phone call, and he broke the System's upper limit?

Also unlocked the 'Wind-Following Ear' achievement??

"Indeed, in a low-martial world, there's no such thing as a telephone."

"So, in the System's judgment, me calling someone became transmitting sound over a thousand miles?"

Jiang Ye looked utterly astonished.

This rule was easy to understand, but it was a rule he had never conceived of.

Suddenly.

A peculiar expression appeared on Jiang Ye's face.

This counts as exploiting a loophole, right?

If this could unlock an achievement, then many paths he hadn't considered might also unlock new achievements!

Just as Jiang Ye was marveling inwardly.

He suddenly felt a twitching sensation in both his ears.

Immediately after, the structures within his ears seemed to undergo a subtle change.

"Buzz!"

In an instant, an incredibly noisy sound flooded his ears.

For a moment, Jiang Ye felt his mind was about to explode, filled with countless discordant sounds.

Fortunately, he soon adapted and began to try controlling his hearing.

Extracting useful information from the cacophony.

Faintly, he heard conversations from two hundred meters away.

"Mom, Mom, look, flowers~"

"Did you finish your homework yet!?"

"Wuwuwu"

"..."

Jiang Ye closed his eyes slightly, then turned in another direction.

From three hundred meters away, a faint voice drifted over.

"This guy got drunk after only a few bottles? How pathetic."

"So, you're saying you're brave?"

"Right now, I can hear sounds from three hundred meters away."

Jiang Ye opened his eyes, a hint of contemplation flashing within them.

If before, he could at most hear sounds within a hundred meters.

This meant that this reward had directly tripled his hearing range.

"However, achievements like this probably aren't one-offs, right?"

Jiang Ye pondered slightly, "If there aren't higher-level similar achievements, it would be better to unlock this achievement later."

He realized that achievements gained by exploiting loopholes weren't necessarily better unlocked as early as possible.

The stronger one's power, the greater the benefit gained.

Still, since it was unlocked, there was nothing to regret.

"In three more weeks, it'll be the trial."

"I can try more to see if I can unlock similar achievements to improve my strength."

Jiang Ye mused inwardly.

Soon, he came up with an idea.

Not long after, Jiang Ye left his home.

He stood by the roadside and flagged down a taxi.

"Driver, are you going on the highway?"

"That'll cost extra."

"Not going far, just around Ancheng, is a hundred enough?"

"Get in."

Jiang Ye got into the taxi and let out a slow breath.

He was taking a risk by coming out this time.

After all, Chen Zilu had said the city wasn't safe recently.

But to verify the idea in his heart, Jiang Ye decided to come out. It was noon now, so the safety factor was bound to be higher.

"Driver, once we're on the highway, drive at maximum speed for a while," Jiang Ye said.

This world.

The standards for highways are different from his previous life, with a maximum speed of 200 km/h.

However, this taxi probably wouldn't reach that speed, estimating around 150 km/h.

Even so, it should far exceed the standards of a low-martial-arts world!

That's right.

Jiang Ye wanted to see if this could unlock a new achievement.

"I'll test it out. If it actually works, I'll buy a plane ticket to try it again when I have money."

The passenger planes in this world are basically all supersonic.

They are also very expensive.

Even a short inter-provincial flight would cost over ten thousand yuan for a round trip.

Besides passenger planes, there are also hovercars to choose from.

However, their speed is generally within 500 km/h, and the starting price is one thousand yuan.

"Without money, you can't do anything," Jiang Ye sighed inwardly.

A single penny can stump a hero!

Whether it's the cost of living, transportation, or Martial Arts resources, all require substantial wealth to support.

The path of a strong individual may be lonely, but it can never be impoverished.

It is precisely for this reason that passing the upcoming trial, entering the Key Class, and getting into the Twenty-Five School Alliance have become goals Jiang Ye must achieve.

"We're on the highway now."

At this moment, Jiang Ye's eyes lit up slightly as he looked out the window.

After passing through the highway toll station, the car's speed gradually increased.

100 km/h

120 km/h

130 km/h
