A Monster of Talent, a Monster of Mechanics, and a Monster of Stats-All Three in One! New System Feature!
That morning, in the culture classroom at Notting Academy.
The teacher lectured at the front while Qin Qi began reviewing his earlier system rewards below.
First were his credits and achievement points. Qin Qi now had 28 achievement points.
He was 72 points short of the 100 needed to summon a teacher.
As for credits, he had reached 1,500, though he'd spent quite a bit on Epiphany and extending the Study Space.
Otherwise, he could've broken 2,000!
"Man, I earn it fast, but I spend it just as fast."
Looking at his credit balance, Qin Qi sighed. Fifteen hundred credits seemed like a lot.
But open Epiphany a few more times and they'd be gone in a flash.
After checking his credits and achievement points, Qin Qi turned to the main event: the talent reward for reaching 100 percent approval, and the new system feature.
[The host currently has all rewarded talents stacked. Claim them now?]
"Will claiming them cause a big commotion?"
Qin Qi asked silently.
[Claiming them will not cause any commotion.]
"Then I'll claim them right away."
Qin Qi spoke in his mind.
[Issuing rewards... Rewards issued!]
As soon as the system finished its announcement, Qin Qi suddenly felt that his body was different.
But after moving around a little, he didn't feel any direct increase in strength or speed.
"Doesn't it directly stack physical attributes and strength?"
Puzzled, Qin Qi explored the matter for a long time. At last, he figured out what the stacked talent rewards really did!
"It doesn't increase my stats! It raises my limits!"
Qin Qi's heartbeat quickened slightly. An increase in stats seemed like a fast improvement, but compared to raising the limit, it left far less room for growth.
To use a game as an example, at level one, a person's strength limit was 10, and no amount of stacked stats could push it past that.
But Qin Qi's limit was stacked. At level one, a person's strength limit was 10, while his became 20!
It was the same at level two. Other people might have 20, while Qin Qi had 40!
And because Qin Qi had triggered 100 percent approval for the first time, the reward had been upgraded to stack all his talents.
Put simply, Qin Qi now had twice everyone else's physical toughness, twice the Soul Power capacity at the same level, and even twice the talent!
"Strongest Learning System!"
"My talent might not be that great at first, but as I get more teachers..."
"With my talents constantly being drawn and stacked, I'm bound to become a peerless genius in the end!"
Qin Qi immediately thought of this. As he gained more teachers, his talents would keep increasing!
Sooner or later, he'd become a monster of talent, a monster of stats, and a monster of mechanics—one who surpassed everyone else!
The thought excited Qin Qi. He rested his head on the desk and tried to calm himself down.
"Let's... pretend I didn't see that."
The teacher saw Qin Qi lying on his desk as if he'd fallen asleep. She thought it over, then pretended not to notice.
She continued teaching as usual.
There was nothing she could do. The boy was a genius, after all. Geniuses really were something else!
"System, show me the new feature."
Qin Qi spoke in his mind.
[Beep! The Proficiency System has been activated. Open the Proficiency Panel?]
"Yes."
Qin Qi answered silently.
[Talent: Transparent World (Development: Beginner)] [Abilities: Qi Poison (Beginner), Poison Barrier (Beginner), Tang Sect (Proficient), Five Treasures Body Protection Method (Beginner)]
"Okay, okay, it's so bare-bones!"
Looking at his Proficiency Panel, Qin Qi couldn't help complaining to himself.
It really was just a skill proficiency panel. It didn't even have a name on it.
"System, the Proficiency Panel... is this that feature that lets me level up skills by adding points?"
"Do I spend credits or achievement points?"
Qin Qi asked silently. His favorite phrase was Deep Blue, add points! Simple and effective!
[This panel can only display the host's skill proficiency. It has no other special effects.]
"..."
"Why do I need you to tell me my skill proficiency? What the hell is the point of you?"
Qin Qi spoke in his mind.
[Learning is endless. The hardest part of learning is not being able to see the results and progress.] [If people can clearly see their results and progress, their desire and motivation to learn will increase.] [This panel can display your learning results in detail. When you make progress, it will show you.] [It will also show you when you make a mistake. Its whole purpose is to provide timely feedback on your results!]
"Hmm?"
After hearing that, Qin Qi thought it made a lot of sense. If he could clearly see his progress, his desire to learn really would increase.
He focused his attention on Qi Poison, and the Proficiency Panel changed.
[Qi Poison (Beginner): Training Progress: 25%]
"Twenty-five percent... Once I reach 100 percent, I can upgrade Qi Poison to the next level."
"System, where does this percentage come from? You didn't just make it up, did you?"
Qin Qi thought of programmers from his previous world. When they wrote percentage programs, they often had nothing to base them on; the numbers were just randomly generated.
[This data is calculated from the host's various attributes, with an accuracy of 99.99%!] [Any remaining margin of error will also be corrected at any time.]
"Oh... right!"
Qin Qi suddenly thought of something. He activated the Five Treasures Body Protection Method and checked its training progress.
[Five Treasures Body Protection Method (Beginner): Training Progress: 15%]
"Just as I thought! The Five Treasures Body Protection Method and Qi Poison are fundamentally the same!"
"Only when the two sides have similar proficiency can my body remain in a safe state!"
"And now the training progress differs by a whole ten percent, so my Five Treasures Body Protection Method can't restrain the poison."
"A data-based panel is great! I won't have to rely on experience anymore. I can just look at the data!"
Qin Qi immediately saw the advantages of the data-based panel, and he felt that the Proficiency Panel had plenty of potential.
He could develop even more ways to use it!
"Just as you'd expect from a learning system. Every feature is designed to help me learn."
Qin Qi sighed to himself.
After the second-period Martial Soul class that morning, Qin Qi was about to go to the cafeteria for lunch, but the teacher called him over just as he reached the door.
"Qin Qi, come with me to the office. I have something to talk to you about."
Teacher Zhao called out to Qin Qi.
"Sure. Xiao Wu, Wang Sheng, you two go eat first."
Qin Qi called out to Xiao Wu and the others, then followed the teacher to the office.
In the office, Teacher Zhao looked at Qin Qi and sighed, a trace of worry in her eyes.
"Huh? She starts with a sigh? What's going on?"
Qin Qi stared at Teacher Zhao, who had started sighing without saying a word. He was stunned. It seemed like something serious had happened.
