Chapter 4: System Wonderful Uses

  Having mastered the primary water force, Wu Yuer was relatively better at mixing with others by the water's edge. Just like now, he could already skillfully use his water force to catch fish. He spread out his spiritual power to scan the water and determined the location of a fairly large fish. Then, Wu Yuer carefully controlled the surrounding water to change it, forming a layer of ice that wrapped around the fish inside. Finally, he manipulated the water ball to bring it to his side.

  Hehe, Wu Yeru discovered that if he really couldn't make it, it wasn't so easy to starve to death after all. At least fishing was a pretty good option.

  Then, following this method, I got two more, which was enough to eat. After slightly processing the fish, I gathered some dry wood around and found two stones to rub against each other to produce sparks. Finally, after ten minutes, I managed to get a flame going.

  After the fish was cooked, Wu Ye Yu started his first meal in this strange world. As Grandpa Mao said, "One must work hard to have a good life", and food made by oneself is generally more delicious. Moreover, Wu Ye Yu had lived for some time and was skilled at cooking. The simple roasted fish, although without any seasonings, was cooked to perfection, with a crispy outside and tender inside, exceptionally fresh and delicious. This might also be related to the quality of the fish itself.

  Wu Yeru hummed a little tune in his mouth, eating with relish, while opening his own attribute panel to take a look.

  Host: Wu Yeyu (in good condition)

  Strength: 45 (standard for ordinary adults is 100)

  Physical strength: 35 (same as above)

  Root bone: 93 (100 is full value)

  Energy points: 10,000 points

  Skills: Simple Breathing Technique: Its power is limited to strengthening the body and has no great effect.

  Basic Killing Fist: Basic Outer Gate Fist Technique, power is limited.

  Xuanxu True Classic Building Foundation Chapter (Intermediate Heart Method): A good internal skill heart method, when practiced to a deep level, also has extraordinary power. The internal energy it cultivates is upright and harmonious, and when applied, the virtual and real respond to each other. It's a good choice for building a foundation.

  Simple properties and introduction, there is nothing else on the panel.

  "Not good enough!" Wu Yeru said, holding his homemade toothpick and brushing his teeth. He didn't know whether he was sighing at the system or himself. Then, he silently called out to the system again, and a search interface appeared in front of him, somewhat similar to Baidu's style. However, since Wu Yeru had never used a computer before, he naturally hadn't seen anything like it, and for a moment, he didn't know how to use it.

  After fumbling for a while, after silently reciting the two words "gong fa" in his heart, the result was that a large number of secret skills appeared on the screen in front of him. What's familiar to the ear is the Hunyuan Opening Heaven Technique, the 99th Mysterious Merit, the 89th Mysterious Merit, the Black Water Mysterious Merit, the Extreme Flame Mysterious Merit, and the Huncheng Treasure Mirror. However, if you want to learn it, you need energy points. Looking at the string of zeros behind it, Wu Ye Yu suddenly became uncalm.

  "No way, it's too advanced. I might not even have enough energy points to buy the skill even if I absorbed everything on the entire continent. Who dug this pit?!" Wu Ye Yu felt a wave of frustration in his heart and continued to look further back. As a result, he spent almost half an hour but couldn't pick out anything, and his eyes were also blurry. Alas...

  In the end, Wu Ye Yu had no choice but to seek help from the system. What's the worst that could happen? He'd just waste some energy points. In the future, he would have plenty of time to make it up!

  "System, help me search for skills or techniques suitable for me at this stage." Wu Yeru muttered to himself with endless resentment.

  "Ding! This inquiry will consume 100 host energy points. Does the host confirm usage?"

  "Alright!" Meow, I acknowledge it, old man.

  The screen in front of me flashed and a few things appeared.

  Scouting Technique: Always observe the surroundings, able to observe the attributes of people within three realms below oneself, or high-quality treasures that are three energy levels above oneself. Required Energy Points: 5000

  Basic Footwork: Allows the host to master their own legs, increasing step agility and passively increasing the host's agility and speed. The effect increases with the host's practice level, up to a maximum of 3 levels. Required Energy Points: 3000

  Basic Fist Technique: Allows the host to master their own fists, increasing punching speed and power, passively increasing the host's physical strength and control level. The effect increases with the host's practice level, up to a maximum of 3 levels. Required Energy Points: 3000

  Basic Sword Techniques...

  Foundation...

  …

  Looking at the large stack of basic skills on the screen, Wu Ye Yu knew that his current most suitable foundation was almost there, and each secret book had a significant effect, which could provide great help for his own strength improvement. However, he didn't have enough points! Was this system intentionally messing with him...

  After a long time, Wu Yeyu finally reluctantly selected three secret books after repeated consideration.

  Scouting skills, no explanation, equivalent to the foundation of the foundation, killing and arson prevention ambush, learn early and rest assured early.

  Basic footwork is essential for running and can also improve one's agility and speed. It's indeed the most crucial thing!

  Mastering basic muscles, this is the cheapest 1500 points, but for the current stage of myself, it is also the most needed thing.

  It's gone... This is a small 10,000 points, although I don't know if the energy points are more or less, but it's really used up like this, and I'm really not reconciled to it!

  Thinking so in her heart, she decided to give it a try anyway. After all, the system could absorb anything, so she placed her hand on a large tree beside her and silently chanted "absorb" to the system!

  Then, the big tree in front of me withered and turned yellow at a speed visible to the naked eye. The originally green branches and leaves almost instantly turned into a pile of powder. The trunk was also charred beyond recognition. 5 seconds later, the entire tree had turned to dust, slowly drifting away in the air. Even a small bird that was originally perched on the tree did not notice anything unusual and fell straight down from the tree.

  The scene before him made Wu Ye Yu's whole body covered in cold sweat. Is this going to defy the heavens?! Even the legendary Bone-Softening Palm probably doesn't have such power, right? With this thing, what's the point of practicing martial arts or swordplay? What can stop it when you just slap your paw and everything disappears? Is there anything more fierce than this move?!

  Wu Ye Yu opened the interface to see how many energy points this decades-old tree could exchange for, but after taking a glance, he directly shut it without saying another word. Damn 400.01, why can't you be more stingy? Why not just round down that 0.01 and omit it? I'm still the first person to discover that there's such a thing as decimal points in this system!

  Although Wu Ye Yu was grumbling, he had actually been mentally prepared for this. If the energy points came too easily, they wouldn't be energy points at all - you might as well just call them cabbage. So he didn't take it to heart and shook his head, trying hard not to think about it anymore. Then, Wu Ye Yu extended his magical claws towards other places, such as solid boulders, the mud on the ground, the flowing creek water, and even the fish in the water were taken out for experimentation.

  It turned out that the entire stone could be absorbed, but basically no energy points were obtained. Of course, if there were gems or minerals inside, it would be a different story, but so far, none had been tried. The flowing water was the same, although the water around his palm was constantly decreasing, after absorbing for ten minutes, Wu Ye Yu saw that the number of energy points hadn't changed at all and abruptly lost interest in continuing. The mud on the ground gave Wu Ye Yu a moderate surprise, after being absorbed by the system, a pit about one meter square would appear on the ground, although there was still no energy, but this might be useful later, at least for digging traps or something, it was very practical and silent, heh heh! It's not bad for ambushing people.

  But that fish was not going to work, holding the struggling big fish firmly in his hand, Wu Ye Yu found that the system couldn't absorb it, but after smashing it to death, it could. Not giving up, he controlled the stream again and caught a rabbit that was drinking water, the result of the experiment was really disappointing, this broken toy of a system didn't leave any loopholes for itself, living things couldn't be absorbed, you're kidding me, right? A big tree can be absorbed, but a rabbit can't, is an animal's life not a life, and a plant's life not a life? Aren't you discriminating against life?! Be careful or I'll report you to the Transmigrator Space-Time Management Bureau! Damn it!

  However, Wu Ye didn't idle around and after conducting multiple experiments, he suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented. Upon opening the attribute panel, he found that his spiritual power had dropped to 10 points. Ah, so this thing consumes spiritual power.

  Sat down on one side, meditated and cultivated for half an hour, feeling not so dizzy anymore. Checked the attributes, spirit had recovered to 23 points. Looked at the sky, immediately got up and headed home, didn't want to spend another night in the forest, too much moisture. Although I have elementary water power to control water elements, it's not a habit that can be formed overnight to control moisture while sleeping, it takes time.

  He casually exchanged the three skills he had learned, and saw that the three secret books directly turned into flowing light and flew into his mind. Immediately afterwards, various usage and cultivation techniques for these three skills appeared in his mind.

  Scouting skill, this thing is a skill, with three levels in total. Each level will have different functions, but the content displayed by scouting will only become more detailed and cannot scout active individuals higher than three stages above oneself. A small map appears in the upper left corner of one's field of vision, which is a reduced version of the map but very detailed, can be enlarged to view, and can observe life forms on the map, judging whether the other party has hostility towards oneself. Hostile individuals are displayed in red, friendly individuals are displayed in green, and neutral ones are displayed in white. This skill increases its observation range as one's strength grows, making it very practical. At the same time, it can also be used through visual inspection to check an individual's attributes and type.

  The basic step method is about how to use your legs to walk, divided into several stages, each with different postures and states, such as lifting the hips and arching the waist, walking on tiptoes, walking on heels, etc. This requires slow practice by oneself, it's not something that can be accomplished overnight, if you want to master it, you need to constantly explore and hone your skills, when you can walk naturally while incorporating these steps without looking awkward, then you can consider yourself as having achieved mastery.

  Foundational muscle control, this is a set of very strange movements, with various postures ranging from simple to complex, totaling 108 forms, progressing gradually. As one practices, the requirements for controlling the body become extremely high. Things like using your butt to press against the back of your head are just minor matters. Later on, it's directly a matter of playing with one's life. Especially for Wu Ye Yu now, don't even think about how difficult it is. Just a single downward split can torment his small body to death. Looking at Wu Ye Yu's face turning green, he walks back and forth in a strange posture, shaking his head and sighing that the road ahead is long and arduous.
