San Tian Liang Jue
Chapter 242 Change (Part 1)
Feng Bujue slammed the door shut, quickly tidied up the house, then went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and took out a pile of ingredients.
His eyes changed, and he put on an apron, rolled up his sleeves, and washed his hands in one smooth motion. Two seconds later, he said with excitement in a chuunibyou (middle-schooler syndrome) tone, "Heh heh heh... those pesky guys are finally gone. It's been a while since my dark cuisine time..."
He looked at the table full of ingredients and moved like lightning.
"Season the seaweed with wine and soy sauce... adding it to raw rice can bring out the umami... the ratio of rice to fish is one cup of rice to one slice of marinated salmon... shred the burdock and mix it with maitake mushrooms torn by hand..." He muttered while cooking, and although his movements looked very rough, each step was precise, showing meticulousness in his roughness.
"Hmm... that should do it for the rice." He put the finished product into the rice cooker, pressed the cook button, and then turned his attention to the side, "The leftover fried tofu and rapeseed from yesterday can be used to make light-flavored braised dishes, plus the pre-prepared vinegar-pickled white radish and raw scallops... is this it!" He fiercely turned on the gas stove, put on a wok, poured a lot of salad oil into the wok, and after the oil temperature rose, made a dish of salt-fried scrambled eggs. "Then just drizzle a little oil to sauté the braising ingredients..." He added the ingredients while talking to himself, "Wine! Dipping sauce! Water! Mirin!"
This person, like a madman, spent nearly an hour at the stove cooking, and finally made himself six dishes and a soup, including various vegetables, meat, fish, protein, etc... the combination was quite balanced.
"Hmph... completely satisfied." He sighed contentedly after finishing. Then he sat down at the large table in the kitchen, poured himself a glass of drink, and pretended to pick up a cloth and tuck it into his collar, acting like he was eating Western food, but he was still holding chopsticks and a spoon.
At this time, Asas directly jumped onto the table, slowly climbed to Feng Bujue's dishes, completely ignored his master, and lowered his head to eat the plate with fish.
"A freeloading kitty, you must be shocked by your master's superb skills, oh hahaha!" Feng Bujue laughed in his two-hundred-and-fifty (idiot) tone.
Asas heard this, looked up at Feng Bujue, with an expression that seemed to say: Stupid earthling.
A few seconds later, Feng Bujue sighed, tore off the cloth from his collar, returned to his normal expression, and said to the ceiling, "Ah... loneliness..."
...
More than a week had passed since the end of the Cang Ling Swords Tournament scenario.
Recently, the number of names on Feng Bujue's friend list had gradually increased, such as Atobe-shao (Young Master Atobe), several of Long Ge's friends, Xiao Tan and Si Yu's friends they met while gaming, etc. In short, the total was more than twenty people.
Feng Bujue and Si Yu had almost the same attitude towards socializing, they were the type who really didn't want to expand their social circle and liked to actively distance themselves from others. It was difficult to become their friend, and those who were considered friends by them were like being on a pirate ship...
Although the number of friends had increased, the members of Hell's Frontline were still only four, not even enough to form a six-person team. The system's guild Buff had been changed twice, but the effect was still quite average, after all, they were in the bottom tier of both guild rankings.
However, leaving aside the guild's strength, Feng Bujue's personal strength was now among the top fifty players in the game.
After this period of time, Feng Bujue's stats were as follows:
Title: 【Unpredictable Maniac】, Experience: 187500270000, Skill Points: 11300, Game Coins: 1020000.

Space 310: Jigsaw Card - Monkey, Jigsaw Card - Sunglasses, Jigsaw Card - Strawberry.

First, let's talk about the changes in experience...
After players reach level 20, the upper limit of experience points required for leveling up undergoes the same qualitative change as at level 10, with an extra zero added. Feng Bujue, relying on the advantage of getting extra rewards every time, was basically leveling up at a rate of one level per day. Of course, in terms of level, he still couldn't compare with those professional players in large guilds who were responsible for rushing levels. Their online time was definitely longer than his, and their dungeon runs were more planned, and they also had experience cards to help. Currently, the player ranked first in the server is already level 32. Don't underestimate the difference of these five levels, after level 30, the experience points are seven digits...
But level doesn't represent strength. Feng Bujue, who is in the advanced stage of the game, has characteristics that can be seen from the specialization levels – no weaknesses.
For example, suppose there is a sport, such as tennis, that can divide a player's strength into more than a dozen abilities, such as speed, reaction, endurance, serve, backhand, prediction, and so on... Each item is calculated on a ten-point scale.
Then, top players usually have three or more abilities that are ten points, and the rest are generally above eight points, with only one or two shortcomings that are six or seven points.
The strength of ordinary players is often that each ability is around seven points, with only one or two reaching nine points, and several around five points.
Measuring Feng Bujue with this standard, he is like a person whose abilities are all at the eight-point level. In theory, this type of athlete is extremely rare.
People whose abilities are all above six points can only be called mediocre. But to get all abilities to reach above eight points may be more difficult than becoming a top player.
This is "comprehensive", or rather, all-around.
In baseball, it's like a guy who is proficient in hitting, running, fielding, throwing, and pitching. This type of person has not yet appeared in the world, because usually being able to do two of these five things well is enough to become a baseball star.
And in Thriller Paradise, Feng Bujue is the only player in the entire server who can achieve simultaneous progress in all specializations.
Next, let's talk about the changes in game coins and items...
Feng Bujue earned a lot of game coins from leveling up to level 27, but one million of them had been turned into five inventory slots. This couldn't be helped, the ten-slot newbie inventory was really not enough, now he was using an upgraded "standard inventory".
After Cang Ling, Feng Bujue's ***-500 had been used up a bit more in other scenarios, and he had brought Proyán Bina's Vacuum Cleaner at level 20. In these days, he had also gained some equipment, averaging at least one item per day, but those were not very suitable for himself, so he either gave them to his teammates or auctioned them off. Therefore, from the data, Feng Bujue had only gained one more jigsaw card these days.
Finally, let's talk about skills, I believe you have all seen it, the first permanent active skill that Feng Bujue learned has evolved after he used it many times...
