"It's a pity, it would have been even better if I had been born in Yangzhou City of Jiangnan Base City!"
Shen Ping sighed lightly in his heart. This was a minor flaw, but being a Martial Artist right after Transmigration was already very good. Otherwise, if he were an ordinary person, there would basically be no hope.
Not long after, Wang Can also came out of the High Tower World.
He was so excited he almost jumped, "Old Shen, your mouth is blessed! My luck is good, I chose to be born as an alien, and I was Planetary Level as soon as I arrived! This is great, I don't have to go to the New Recruit Camp!!"
Seeing this, Shen Ping was also happy for Wang Can, "Amazing, amazing! Planetary Level right after Transmigration, Breakthrough to Astral Rank, and entering Universe Rank are just around the corner!"
Wang Can raised his head, "That's a must! By the way, what about you? What kind of birth did you choose?"
Shen Ping didn't hide it and said directly, "I chose to be born on Earth, and I'm currently a Martial Artist."
"What?"
"Born on Earth?!"
Wang Can looked disappointed, "Old Shen, didn't I tell you that you should at least choose a Human Race reproduction birthplace in the Universe? That way, you'd have a chance to be Planetary Level right after Transmigration like me. But you, you chose to be born on Earth!"
"It's okay, the New Recruit Camp has a three-month training period, which is three years in the High Tower World. I still have a chance to Breakthrough to Planetary Level!"
Shen Ping smiled, "I'm going home first. What about you?"
As soon as he asked, he slapped his head, "I almost forgot, you're Planetary Level right after Transmigration. After you register outside, you'll definitely be transferred to a special training camp!"
Wang Can chuckled, "Don't worry, once I grow up, I'll definitely look out for you!"
Shen Ping sighed, "In just one day, our situations are different. I still have to honestly report to the New Recruit Camp, while you're going to become a pillar of the nation!"
Wang Can was grinning from ear to ear, "Keep it up, if you work hard, you still might Breakthrough to Planetary Level!"
"You, you're getting carried away now!"
Shen Ping glared at Wang Can, "Enough talk, let's go register."
At this time,
the heavy gate of the High Tower World had opened.
To the left of the entrance was a special instrument.
"That's the Soul detection device. It can detect the strength of our Transmigration bodies in the High Tower World. It's said that no one has figured out how this instrument works even now..."
Wang Can said.
Shen Ping looked at the instrument shimmering with a strange purple light, feeling immense shock in his heart.
The Soul was the foundation of a person, and also the most mysterious part.
This place could actually detect the Soul.
It seemed this world also held many secrets.
Beep.
When it was Wang Can's turn, he stood in front of the instrument. As the purple light scanned him, the strength of his Transmigration body in the High Tower World was displayed.
Planetary Level.
The machine's sound rang out, and many students waiting for their turn showed envy.
The guarding officer also gave Wang Can a few extra glances, "Good, go register over there. A specialized person will be in charge shortly."
Wang Can was excited, "Old Shen, I'm going over there first, okay?"
Shen Ping nodded, "After I register, I'll go straight home."
"Alright."
When it was Shen Ping's turn, the instrument displayed Martial Artist.
It was a very ordinary strength, because most Transmigrators chose the Human Race star fields in the Universe, and over eighty percent had Martial Artist strength right after Transmigration, and reaching the God of War level was quite common.
After registering, Shen Ping left the High Tower World and took a bus back to his residential complex.
His parents were not home.
He went to his bedroom, lay on the bed, and couldn't wait to enter the High Tower World again!
...
Nearly an hour had passed in reality.
But it was still night inside the High Tower World.
The brilliant Milky Way hung high in the starry sky.
Shen Ping opened his eyes, looked at the stars through the loft window, and his mind was filled with thoughts.
So what if he was only a Martial Artist right after Transmigration!
This was Earth!
Earth, transformed by the mighty Zuo Shanke!
Not to mention the formidable future powerhouse, Luo Feng, who would stand at the peak.
Whoosh.
Shen Ping took a deep breath, suppressing the surging thoughts in his heart.
"You took a deep breath, and your Comprehension Ability increased by 1 point."
However, at this moment.
A voice suddenly rang out in his mind.
Shen Ping straightened up in astonishment.
"Who?!"
There was no response.
But Shen Ping was filled with doubt; he was certain that he hadn't imagined it just now.
Thinking of his previous action.
He took another deep breath.
"You took a deep breath, and your Comprehension Ability increased by 1 point!"
This time.
Shen Ping heard it clearly, and his eyes widened.
Because a virtual box had appeared in his vision.
[Comprehension Ability Points: 2]
[Exchange Count: 0 (Insufficient Comprehension Ability Points)]
"Could this, this be my Golden Finger?!"
Shen Ping couldn't help but rub his eyes vigorously.
This extremely simple attribute display box was still there.
"It really is a Golden Finger!!"
Shen Ping was completely excited!
A Golden Finger.
This was a must-have for Transmigration!
He had almost forgotten about it due to everything that happened yesterday, but he hadn't expected to activate his Golden Finger in the Devouring World.
Exhale.
Inhale.
"You took a deep breath, and your Comprehension Ability increased by 1 point."
Deep breathing can increase Comprehension Ability?
Very good, very powerful!
Comprehension Ability might seem ethereal, but Shen Ping knew that Comprehension Ability was the key on the path to becoming a strong individual.
Without Comprehension Ability, even with talent, there would always be a limit.
Why was Earth special?
It was because of the modifications made by the powerful Zuo Shanke; everyone born on Earth had far superior Soul Comprehension Ability compared to other places.
Continue.
Shen Ping took another deep breath.
He wanted to Cultivate his Comprehension Ability to an unparalleled level.
However.
After more than ten consecutive deep breaths, there was no further reaction in his mind, and the Comprehension Ability points in the virtual box no longer increased.
"No way, is that all?"
Shen Ping was dumbfounded; he had wanted to become the strongest 'grinding emperor,' but after only three times, his Golden Finger became weak!
"This thing wouldn't have a usage limit, would it…?"
Thinking this, he exited the Devouring World and took a deep breath in reality, but there was no reaction, and even the virtual box display disappeared.
"It seems I'll have to try again tomorrow."
Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, Shen Ping couldn't sleep at this point, so he simply turned over and repeatedly sorted through the memories that had descended upon his body, mainly organizing memories of genetic original force, basic saber techniques, and movement techniques.
After organizing, he began to familiarize himself with these actions, especially the Cultivation of genetic original force and guidance techniques.
A night passed.
In the early morning, he took another deep breath.
Finally, there was a sound in his mind.
And after three consecutive times, his Comprehension Ability stopped increasing.
"So, this Golden Finger can only increase Comprehension Ability with three deep breaths a day… That's not bad; having a Golden Finger is better than not having one!"
Shen Ping was still very open-minded; although his Golden Finger wasn't very powerful, at least he had one.
Moreover, with his Golden Finger, his chances of Breakthrough to Planetary Level within three years were even greater!
…
Morning.
The attic windows were covered with a layer of frost.
Huazhong Base City was located in the north, and early March was still relatively cold.
"Sister Bai, Sister Ying, Brother Wang, Brother Li… Good morning!"
After getting up and quickly washing, Shen Ping went out and saw that the other members of the Black Ice Squad had already gathered, so he quickly went over to greet them.
Bai Feng glanced at Shen Ping and frowned when she saw that he wasn't even wearing his combat uniform.
Chen Ying reminded him, "Xiao Shen, hurry up and change into your combat uniform. Remember, as long as you're outside the Base City, under no circumstances should you casually take off your combat uniform!"
Shen Ping's heart tightened, and he quickly said, "Got it, I'll go put it on now."
Not long after.
Shen Ping, wearing a D-level combat uniform, came to his teammates.
"Let's go, we'll eat breakfast on the way."
Bai Feng said, then walked out of the attic room.
The others followed.
Stepping out of the military supply base, Shen Ping became nervous.
After all, it was his first time in the Wilderness Area, not to mention that his mentality was still that of an ordinary person. The thought of fighting monsters made his palms sweat, even in early spring.
"Kid, relax. Your strength is now close to Senior Warrior, and you've trained hard at the martial arts hall for a year. As long as you don't encounter a Warlord-level, you'll generally be fine with your strength. What's more, your Sister Ying is also watching over you; she's a Warlord-level."
The tall and burly Wang Zhan said with a smile.
And Li Zi said, "Old Wang, don't pick on Shen Ping. Everyone gets nervous their first time in the Wilderness Area. I remember you, you were trembling when you walked the first time."
Chen Ying immediately covered her mouth and laughed.
Bai Feng also smiled, clearly recalling when their squad was first formed.
Wang Zhan glared, "Li, don't talk nonsense."
The team talked as they hurried along the highway for about an hour, and then dilapidated tall buildings appeared in their sight.
"Ahead is County 0385, which is our destination this time. This county is not too far from the military zone, and the strongest monsters inside are only Intermediate Warlords, and their numbers are extremely small. Our strength is enough to handle them!"
Bai Feng said.
The Black Ice Squad was an elite Warlord-level team, with all members at the Warlord-level. If Shen Ping's potential hadn't been high, he wouldn't have been recruited. Their visit to County 0385 this time was also due to the presence of Shen Ping, the newcomer.
Normally, the Black Ice Squad's hunting grounds were cities with at least Advanced Warlord-level monsters.
"We'll start from the edge. Shen Ping, when we encounter Soldier-level monsters, you're responsible for killing them!"
Bai Feng's expression was calm.
And Chen Ying, Wang Zhan, and Li Zi said nothing.
They recruited Shen Ping mainly because they valued his potential. If he wasn't good in actual combat, they might have to consider replacing him later, as the team couldn't afford to waste time because of a newcomer.
Shen Ping nodded heavily, his hand involuntarily tightening on his battle saber.
As they approached the edge of the county, the number of monsters on both sides of the overgrown road gradually increased, and their roars became more frequent.
