In reality, humans don't suddenly "level up" and then experience a rapid increase in strength.
However, people who train in fencing for many years will definitely have a high level of fencing skills and a healthy and strong physique.
Mingyan said that the GM has given him 100,000,000 experience points, which directly raised his "movement technique" to level 20.
Then he sat in meditation and went into seclusion to break through the bottleneck. With just a little experience, he opened up the acupoints required by "that movement technique" and broke through successfully.
A flash of golden light appeared on Mingyan's body, and he leveled up.
That movement technique went from being "unorthodox" to "low-class," and incidentally provided Mingyan with an "Agility 8" bonus.
Mingyan got up and jumped, and it seemed he was about 0.1 meters taller than before.
Xia Cheng, watching intently from the side, asked, "You leveled up?"
He said frankly, "Yes, I can beat you up now."
Xia Cheng laughed: "Come on, let's have a match."
There was plenty of open space around them. The two men stood up, pulled out their weapons, and said with a smile, "Don't say I'm bullying you."
Xia Cheng took out his sword, jokingly revealing a wicked expression, and said, "Come on, handsome boy, come play with me. I promise I won't hurt you."
Mingyan revealed a kind smile.
The two have the same base attributes, but Xia Cheng is still at level 1, while Ming Yan is at level 2.
Moreover, Mingyan's agility attribute is 8 points higher than Xia Cheng's, so he won't engage in any fencing with Xia Cheng; he'll definitely just kite him!
Xia Cheng: "..."
Mingyan: "Come on, come on, chase me!"
Mingyan laughed uncontrollably, fighting and running at the same time, taking advantage of the fact that his zither had a much longer attack range than his longsword, and kited Xia Cheng for hundreds of meters.
Xia Cheng was furious. He held his long sword, but he couldn't outrun Ming Yan, who was faster than a rabbit. He couldn't even touch a corner of Ming Yan's clothes.
Finally, in despair, he gave up trying, threw down his sword, and collapsed to the ground in a spread-eagle position, refusing to continue.
Mingyan walked back, squatted down with a smile, poked Xia Cheng's dimple, and said, "There are still two systems that haven't been tested."
Xia Cheng opened his eyes and said, "Hmm?"
He explicitly stated, "There's also light-footed skill and cooking."
Upon hearing the word "cooking," Xia Cheng's ears perked up: "You have 'cooking' skills? Can you make me some dumplings?"
He said clearly, "We don't have dumplings. Right now, the only thing we can make is mooncakes. Would you like to try some?"
Xia Cheng sat up abruptly: "Anything you made, I have to try it!"
Like the previous systems, this cooking system is now extremely rudimentary.
Right next to the house in the beginner village, there was a pixel-perfect stove, and next to it was a box filled with ingredients for making mooncakes.
Mingyan walked over and used his "cooking" skills, entering cooking mode and starting to knead dough.
While waiting, Xia Cheng casually flipped through his life skills panel and discovered a lot of content that was still in the planning stages.
The game's life skills seem to be something you can learn as many of as you want, and there's a bottleneck every twenty levels, which also provides players with experience to level up.
This means that casual players can reach high levels without learning martial arts, simply by using skills like cooking, growing vegetables, and tailoring.
Xia Cheng clicked into the "Cooking" subcategory and took a look.
I originally thought it would be like martial arts or something, with only one or two simple tests using food to demonstrate its effects.
But to my utter surprise, a really, really long list popped up!
How long will it grow?
The progress bar next to it has almost turned into a tiny dot! There must be tens of thousands of items!
Xia Cheng: "...Boss Ming! Your alpha version seems to have a bug, come and take a look."
Chapter 92 The Great Foodie Nation
Mingyan is still practicing his skills and making mooncakes.
The initial food is quite easy to make; it only takes about 30 seconds of kneading to produce the final product, requiring only a few simple steps.
He had just finished rubbing when he heard Xia Cheng's voice.
"...Boss Ming! Your alpha version seems to have a bug, please come and take a look."
Ming said: "Oh!"
That's true, Xia Cheng doesn't understand what an alpha version is either.
Actually, it's perfectly normal to encounter bugs during gameplay testing... The game itself isn't even 30% complete yet, how could there be no bugs?
In reality, the development team doesn't care about bugs at all right now. The sole purpose of all testing is very simple:
Will the game be more fun if we do it this way?
So, Mingyan, actually in a joking mood, ran over and asked, "What bug is it, Xia, the little tester?"
Xia Cheng pulled up the long list and said, "This list is way too long! Did we accidentally put the data in the wrong place?"
