Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhou Ji felt that his eyes were playing tricks on him. He didn’t expect to see the Milky Way again one day!
“Daddy? What’s wrong? Why are you in a daze again?”
Xiao Rui’s voice came again. She had just moved a small stool and was sitting in front of the spiritual screen, waiting for Zhou Ji to change the channel.
“Wait a moment, Xiao Rui. It will be over soon.” As she spoke, Zhou Ji had already changed the channel to another segment. The opening song of Little Fairy had just ended.
When she heard that the channel had been adjusted, Xiao Rui immediately stopped talking and started to “listen” silently.
On the other hand, Zhou Ji also came back to his senses. He looked at the spell that he had just written in his hand, closed it and held it properly. He adjusted the back of his chair to a comfortable angle and slowly closed his eyes.
A few seconds after the darkness descended, a display screen appeared in front of his eyes. There were two rows of numbers in the upper left corner. They were “Wu Xin: 2398″and “Dao Miao 8”.
Just like the display on the computer resource manager, there were many book-like icons on the left, followed by names. From top to bottom, they were all the cultivation techniques that Zhou Ji had memorized. One of the “books” was opened. Its name was a little bigger, and the name was “Soaring Spell”.
The upper middle part of the box showed the basic effects and cultivation methods:
[Soaring Spell (determining)]
[Gathering spiritual essence in the feet and jumping higher…]
The lower part of the box had two lines of light green words. Zhou Ji called it an additional effect:
[Jumping height increased by 30%]
[Spiritual essence consumption decreased by 5%]
After a dozen breaths, the name of the spell in the upper part of the box changed, changing to “Second Soaring Spell”
And in the bottom half of the display box, there was a third line of white words:
[You can jump in the air again, this time the height will be reduced by 80%]
Under this line of white words, there was an illusory white plus sign.
At the same time, in the left vertical box, there was an icon of a book. The name was “Second stage Soaring Spell”, just below the original Soaring Spell.
With a pleasant sound, Zhou Ji could only see that the “Dao Miao” in the upper left corner had increased by 5, becoming 13.
Finally, he had gathered enough Dao Miao points.
Zhou Ji’s heart moved slightly. The display showed that he had already changed the cultivation method to another one.
[Wind Control Technique]
[Control the wind. Gather the wind to form a needle to attack the enemy. Sharpness increased by 100%]
[Cultivation method]
[(Green) sharpness increased by 100%]
[(Green) additional 100% increase in flying speed]
Under the two additional effects of green, the solid white plus sign flickered.
Zhou Ji focused his attention on the plus sign. The third menu on the right column opened, showing a row of words that described the effect. Finally, he found an effect inside, and his thoughts landed on it.
Soon, the additional effect of the wind manipulation technique had an additional white term:
[Consumption reduced by 1%]
Zhou Ji’s thoughts moved again, and an additional effect was added to the white entry:
[Slightly increased toughness.]
At the same time, the top left corner of the magic dot instantly decreased by 10, leaving only a very bare 3 there.
The expression of the entire spell on the panel had changed, and the basic effect had been greatly improved, he could now control the wind, condense the wind blade to attack the enemy, and its sharpness had increased by 200% as well as its flying speed had increased by 200%.
Zhou Ji’s thoughts did not stop. After another round of refining and strengthening, he finally changed this wind control spell. Even the name had changed to “Hundred Blade Wind Control Spell”:
[Controlling the wind, condensing the wind blade to attack the enemy. Wind blade sharpness increased by 200%, flying speed increased by 200%]
[(Blue) sharpness increased by 200%]
[(Blue) flying speed increased by 200%]
[(Blue) consumption decreased by 30%, toughness increased]
At this time, Zhou Ji’s gaze fell on the upper part of the display box; on the content of the training method, the expression changed.
After memorizing the updated formula in his mind, he slowly opened his eyes and exited the previous state.
Zhou Ji called this thing the cultivation method editor.
Its two main data points, one called Enlightenment Point, were obtained through memorizing cultivation method spells. The other was called Dao Miao Dian, obtained through “self-created” spells and was accepted by the cultivation method editor.
Why was self-created with quotation marks? The main reason was that in this world and in the judgement of the cultivation method modifier, improving a cultivation method was also considered self-created.
In the cultivation method editor, Zhou Ji could refine the entries by consuming comprehension points to strengthen the quality. He could increase or change the entries for the cultivation method by consuming comprehension points.
The increase or change of the first and second entries of the cultivation method and spell required 1 or 2 comprehension points. And the increase or change of the third and fourth entries required 10 or 20 comprehension points, and so on.
In addition, it was unknown whether it was due to talent or the effect of the cultivation method editor, but for spells that required a long time to fully exert their power, Zhou Ji only needed to use the cultivation method modifier once, it was convenient, efficient, and fast.
Of course, Zhou Ji would not specifically learn other cultivation methods and spells. Even if he got what he liked, he would also strengthen it through the cultivation method editor.
The only thing that made Zhou Ji uneasy was that the cultivation method that was modified through the cultivation method editor could not be written and sold.
When Zhou Ji could not understand the specific principle that changing or refining the entries would cause the cultivation content to change, he could only use it passively and could not write it out on his own initiative, if he forcefully wrote it, he would only have the feeling that the words had reached the tip of the pen and were suddenly forgotten…
In this life, Zhou Ji was in a Welfare Institute when he opened his eyes. He had no parents, so he had nothing to do. Only this cultivation method editor, which was not equipped with a manual and was inflexible and would not communicate with him, accompanied him. All the operating modes of the cultivation method editor were gradually groped out by him.
With the cultivation method editor, Zhou Ji had begun to carry and memorize spell books when he was still a minor. At that time, the owner of the magic shop had a deep impression of Zhou Ji.
That was because among all the customers, only this kid was able to break apart several sets of cultivation methods in one hour of cultivation using a single crystal. He was able to memorize four to five cultivation methods in one hour!
Of course, he did not know that Zhou Ji had cheated. He had only thought that this kid had secretly copied the cultivation method and sold it.
After searching his body several times without finding anything, the owner finally recognized the fact that Zhou Ji was a genius. He also opened a backdoor for him and agreed that he could exchange spells in one hour a few times.
This was caused by Zhou Ji deliberately slowing down in order to avoid being thought of as a monster who was hung up to be burned to death.
After he had mastered the first few spells, Zhou Ji began to secretly learn from the cultivation method editor.
By modifying the cultivation method through the cultivation method editor and carefully comparing the differences before and after modification to extracting the subtle differences and studying them in memory. Finally, he tried to use the knowledge he had already understood to write the cultivation method by himself.
Naturally, the cultivation method written from memory at this time could not be compared to the complete version produced by the cultivation method editor.
However, this emasculated version might also be recognized by the cultivation method editor, obtaining one point of excellence. The modified cultivation method could also be sold to the owner of the magic shop at a cheap price of a few crystals.
The entire process was called “Picking System Wool” by Zhou Ji. After all, this thing could not speak, and it did not even have a novice guide, so it could not say anything even if it was picking its wool.
After a while, the young Zhou Ji finally had his own savings, and in adulthood, he bought the magic shop..
