In the fourth week of October, Xu Ran continued to strike iron in the blacksmith shop every afternoon, and the intensity of his work in the blacksmith shop this week was still to forge seven blanks each time; Although he works hard every day, he can already do such a high-intensity job; You can also feel your strength and physical strength slowly growing.

On Monday to Tuesday nights, he was herding sheep in the pasture. On Wednesday night this week, when he logged into the dream game, his profile changed again: Psychic Power 11 (it was 10); Strength: 14; Stamina: 14; HP: 110. This means that Xu Ran has the conditions to learn the spirit thorn. Xu Ran didn't go to herd sheep anymore, and went directly to the Spiritual Mechanics Hall. The owner of the Spiritual Mechanics Hall told Xu Ran that he only taught the 'Spiritual Thorn' here and provided a practice room for practicing the 'Spiritual Thorn', and the cost of transmission was 5 gold coins, and the cost of practicing in the practice room was 2 silver coins per hour. Xu Ran directly paid the money and asked for the gong. The power transmission device here is the same as that of the martial arts hall, and the whole transmission process takes about 1 minute; When the spiritual power is condensed to a certain concentration, the spiritual power is used as a 'spiritual thorn' to release it to the target's brain; The methods and essentials of this series of processes have been deeply engraved in Xu Ran's mind.

When Xu Ran asked the boss of the school to use the spiritual thorn training ground, the boss introduced to Xu Ran the general knowledge of the 'spiritual thorn': when the mental power is higher than or equal to 11, the conditions for using the 'spiritual thorn' are met; when the mental power value is equal to 11, the effective distance of the 'spiritual thorn' is 3.5 meters; and the effective distance of the 'spiritual thorn' increases by 0.5 meters for each level of mental power value. Each time the 'Spirit Thorn' is released, the Spirit Power is reduced by one level, and the effective distance of the 'Spirit Thorn' does not change with the decrease in the use of the Spirit Thorn.

The boss explained to Xu Ran that the 'Spiritual Thorn' practice room is to provide an environment for beginners to adapt to learning, and the equipment inside can monitor the user's mental power changes, and when the user's mental power value is reduced to the condition of not having the spiritual thorn and issuing the spiritual thorn, it will remind the user and terminate the practice. The area of this practice room is about the same as the area of the practice room in the martial arts hall, and it is also a square room of about 25 square meters; After the waiter led Xu Ran to the practice room, he explained to Xu Ran how to use the relevant functions. On the wall near the doorway, there is also a touchscreen terminal controller; The user can click on the difficulty of the training scene above. The waiter said, "At the beginning, you should choose the target object and be in a static state to practice, and after you can send out the spirit thorn, then consider choosing whether the target object is active, or you can directly confront the practitioner, and so on, to practice sending out the spirit thorn."

System billing is based on the time spent practicing by the user and the device. The minimum spend is two copper coins. After the waiter left, Xu Ran clicked on the touch screen and selected the practice scene; The target is selected to be in a stationary state, and the target is to be human; At the beginning of the click, the light in the room changed, and a still and expressionless man in ancient costume appeared, surrounded by a wilderness; Xu Ran came to stand opposite him and began to gather spiritual power according to the exercises he had transmitted. The method of using the spirit thorn was already engraved in Xu Ran's mind; But if you really want to operate, Xu Ran feels very difficult, which may be related to his body, which has not issued a spiritual thorn, and also needs to be run-in. Xu Ran stood in the wilderness, concentrating, trying to guide his spiritual power to a specific position in his mind; I could feel that the spiritual power there was gathering, but as the concentration of spiritual power in that place increased, Xu Ran felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to condense the spiritual power into it; Due to the concentration of condensed spiritual power, it cannot meet the requirements, and it cannot meet the conditions for sending out spiritual thorns. Xu Ran felt and condensed his mental power for about 5 minutes, and the concentration of his spiritual power not only could not be increased, but was gradually weakening; Xu Ran turned off the practice scene, let himself relax and rest, and the spiritual power condensed in his mind slowly dissipated in his mind.

After a few minutes, Xu Ran opened the practice scene and began to condense his spiritual power again; It was still that feeling, after the spiritual power was condensed for a few minutes, the concentration could not be increased, and Xu Ran had to rest again. After repeating this a few times, the system informed Xu Ran that the mental power value had dropped to 10, and it was not suitable to continue practicing the spiritual thorn; Xu Ran quit the game after checking out. This is the first time I practiced the Spirit Thorn, costing 1.2 credits. On Thursday night, Xu Ran was still practicing in the Spirit Thorn Cultivation Room, spending 1.6 silver coins, and still couldn't send out Spirit Thorns, but he felt that when he condensed his spiritual power, it was longer than yesterday, and he felt that the concentration of condensed spiritual power was also greater than yesterday. On Friday night, when Xu Ran practiced for the first time, after condensing his spiritual power for more than ten minutes, he felt that the part where his spiritual power was condensed had a feeling of being about to squirt; Xu Ran followed the exercises, aiming at the brain of the target person in his mind and releasing the spirit thorn, he could feel the spurt of the spirit thorn, and his head had a feeling of relaxation and comfort; The system prompts that the Spirit Thorn has been successfully launched. Spend 4 copper coins on Friday.

On the nights of Saturday and Sunday, Xu Ran continued to practice and stabbed the target when it was stationary; These two times, Xu Ran consumed 2 copper coins, and the ** divine thorn was successful. As of Sunday (that is, October 25), Xu Ran's personal game currency has accumulated: 10 gold coins, 9 silver coins and 4 copper coins. ...... the week of "The Past Follows the Wind", I have learned the primary boxing technique, and I plan to go to the pasture to herd sheep next week.
