Chapter 6: Aspirants
When Ji Xinghuo returned home, he no longer paid attention to the outside world.
On the road from the Inhuman Service Center to his home, his star power value increased to 5, and his body was further strengthened.
Although it can't be seen from the outside, the body shape has not changed much, but in the body, whether it is strength, endurance, or physical fitness, it is obviously stronger.
Ji Xinghuo kept in mind the precautions during the evolutionary period, so he rested for a while.
"It's still early......"
He glanced at the clock, it was only past three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was not interesting to be idle like this, "You can't exercise too much, but doing some light training has no effect." ”
So I turned on my phone and bought some training supplies.
Ten minutes later.
Ji Xinghuo received a reminder and saw a silver-white drone flying quickly from the sky towards the building where his apartment was located, landing at the preset receiving location, gently putting down a courier box on the balcony outside the apartment, and then taking off and leaving.
He went to the balcony and brought in the delivery box and opened it, and inside was the things he had just ordered.
It took a few minutes to unpack a set of dozens of coins of various sizes, a dozen tennis balls and iron balls, a set of rubber bottles, an electronic keyboard with hundreds of keys, a long-obsolete input keyboard, a few bundles of rope, and a few odd-shaped tools.
There are all kinds of them, like the performance props of an acrobatic troupe.
These are all things that will be used in the training of the "Thousand Dexterous Hands".
Ji Xinghuo picked up a coin and put it on the back of his finger, his fingers moved rapidly, and the coin suddenly rolled between his fingers.
After a few seconds, the beating coin stalled.
"Still not proficient ......"
Ji Xinghuo practiced for a while, and quickly mastered the technique of tumbling a coin.
The coin dances like a wave between your fingers, so fast that it looks dazzling, but it just doesn't fall.
Then another coin was added.
According to the training method, each hand can roll up to three coins of different weights at the same time, without colliding with each other.
Even if Ji Xinghuo has the assistance of Vientiane Star Pupil, it is not easy to do it.
He didn't want to do it overnight, he changed an item after half an hour of training, picked up the tennis balls and threw them into the air one after another, and after reaching ten tennis balls, he stabilized for a while, and added rubber tossing bottles to them, and suddenly he was a little in a hurry.
From afternoon to late at night, Ji Xinghuo trained several events back and forth.
Flipping coins, tossing balls, playing the piano at high speed, typing, rope art, disassembling and assembling puzzle locks, all mastered.
He felt like he was making rapid progress.
Before going to bed, Ji Xinghuo opened the information interface and took a look, and his star power had increased to 28.
The progress of Thousand Dexterous Hands is still 1/47.
"It's really hard to level up." Ji Xinghuo couldn't help but sigh, but he was not discouraged in the slightest, and soon fell asleep.
Wake up the next day.
Ji Xinghuo found that his body was a little stronger than last night, but the amplitude was not as good as yesterday, and the strengthening speed had obviously slowed down.
The star power value reached 41, and the growth also slowed down.
"My initial evolution should be over today." Ji Xinghuo got up to wash, eat, and then started today's ability training.
Casting an ability also costs star power.
Different abilities consume different amounts of star power, and Thousand Dexterous Hands is the resident passive ability, which belongs to the least expensive category.
Ji Xinghuo had been training for seven or eight hours yesterday, and he had been using a thousand dexterous hands, but the consumption of star power was not much, not even a third.
Moreover, the star power consumed in ability training, even if it is restored, has little effect on the increase of star power.
Star power should be combined with physical exercise, and the growth is the fastest.
Therefore, ability training and star power cultivation are usually carried out separately, which creates a contradiction in time allocation, making it difficult for Inhumans to take care of each other, and they must make trade-offs.
Either focus on star power cultivation or focus on ability training.
Ji Xinghuo didn't have this trouble for the time being, he practiced thousands of dexterous hands wholeheartedly, but he was willing to train boringly, immersed in it and forgot the passage of time.
Every few minutes, he opens the interface and takes a look.
The day passed quickly.
After dinner, Ji Xinghuo started training again, until after nine o'clock in the evening, he finally stopped.
In the interface of Vientiane Star Pupil, the information of Thousand Dexterous Hands has been updated!
[Ability: Thousand Dexterous Hands (Level 2/47)]
"Finally ......"
Ji Xinghuo exhaled and calculated silently, "I have been training for twenty hours since yesterday, and the progress of the Thousand Dexterous Hands has only increased by 1 point. ”
"Assuming that the difficulty of the subsequent growth remains the same, it will take 940 hours to move up to Level 2."
"If I put my all my heart into it, in addition to sleeping and eating, I have 16 hours a day, 8 hours to cultivate star power, and 8 hours to train abilities, it will take 120 days to raise the Thousand Dexterous Hands to Level 2."
After this calculation, Ji Xinghuo's eyes lit up.
"It's too fast!"
The higher the level of the ability, the harder it is to level up.
Thousand Dexterous Hands is a remarkable ability, and it can be upgraded to level 2 in four months, which is definitely very fast.
You must know that most of the rangers' thousand dexterous hands have stayed at the first level for the rest of their lives.
Generally, only rangers who are promoted to intermediate Inhumans, or even high-level Inhumans, will be promoted to Level 2 by Thousand Dexterous Hands, and their average time is about three years!
Four months compared to three years, the difference in efficiency is nine times.
Ji Xinghuo himself was shocked.
Ji Xinghuo has always had a very clear understanding of himself, and his talent and will are better than most people, more than 99% of his peers.
However, even if it is squeezed into the top 0.1%, it can still only be regarded as first-class, not the top handful of geniuses.
Because this 0.1% of people is also a huge number.
And now, Ji Xinghuo seems to see a road to heaven emerging in front of him, all the way to the end of life evolution!
It all stems from the Vientiane Star Pupil.
In the past two days, Ji Xinghuo's feelings have been particularly clear.
The function of Vientiane Star Pupil is not only "seeing" with the eyes, it penetrates into the control of self-consciousness over the body, perceives changes in the outside world, and transforms itself from the inside out!
It's obvious.
When I practiced Qiandexterity, my hands were extremely precise and stable, and the force was meticulous, so the progress was particularly fast, and almost the whole process was effective training.
This is by no means the effect of the normal Thousand Dexterous Hands, but the Vientiane Star Pupil is at work.
Not to mention, Vientiane Star Pupil can also see the progress of the upgrade, so that he can get positive feedback in training and always maintain high enthusiasm and focus.
"It's a pity......"
Ji Xinghuo looked regretful.
The Vientiane Star Pupil is incomplete, and it is the core that is missing, and the effect displayed may be less than one-ten-thousandth of its full power!
"If the Vientiane Star Pupil is complete, I don't dare to think about it."
Ji Xinghuo shook his head, his gaze stayed on the [Star Power] value of the interface, which had risen to 53 a few hours ago, and then it hadn't changed.
"The first evolution is over."
"Sure enough, as I expected, this evolution period will take about 24 hours."
However, Ji Xinghuo was a little confused.
"Is the star power of the junior Inhuman only 53?"
The strength of star power has always been very vague and subjective, and there is no measure of how much star power each level of Inhumans has, whether it is the ADC or the research departments of various countries.
The value of star power displayed by the Vientiane Star Pupil has no unit, like a dimensionless.
Ji Xinghuo was quite helpless, so he could only put this problem aside.
He felt the surging strength in his body, and as the evolution was completed, his physical state stabilized, and there was no longer the uncertainty of changing moments.
"I wonder what level of strength I've reached right now?"
Ji Xinghuo immediately began to warm up.
The physical fitness of the junior Inhuman is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and even the warm-up is very fast, and the body enters the state in less than two minutes.
The training room in the apartment has a full set of fitness equipment.
Ji Xinghuo lay on the inclined bench and did a few bench presses, and for each set, he increased the weight of the barbell, breaking through from 130 kg to 200 kg all the way, and there was still room for power.
In the end, his bench press weight reached 220 kg, and he pushed ten times in one go, just right!
"Bench press increased by 90 kg!"
Ji Xinghuo is very satisfied.
This weight was quite impressive at the beginning of the 21st century, when there were no aliens, and the most talented Hercules did the bench press without equipment, with a record of 355 kilograms, and only one push.
He rested for a while and did squats and deadlifts again.
The weights are 278 kg and 303 kg, plus the bench press weight, for a total of 801 kg!
In less than two days, the strength performance increased by nearly 300 kilograms, but the body shape and weight did not change, completely violating the laws of human physiology.
That's how powerful Inhuman is!
"A thousand dexterous hands don't add much to strength."
Ji Xingyan looked at his well-proportioned figure in the mirror, and thought, "If it is a 'giant general' Inhuman, it is not surprising that if you fuse the first core ability 'Giant', the three strength scores should be able to easily break through 1,000 kilograms and reach 1,200 kilograms." ”
He suppressed the messy thoughts, "The evolution is complete, and now I can cultivate star power." ”
"Look at the speed at which star power is growing."
The first step in star power cultivation is consumption, which should be carried out together with physical training, and the efficiency is the highest.
After doing a few sets of actions before, the star power has been consumed a lot.
The interface shows that it is currently 45.
Ji Xinghuo jumped on the treadmill and ran 10,000 meters in only 19 minutes, which was a full 10 minutes higher than before.
He runs for half an hour and the aerobic workout is over.
Then I switched to anaerobic exercises, barbells, dumbbells, bench presses, squats and deadlifts, all in rotation according to my maximum weight, one set after another.
The star power decreased little by little, and after twenty minutes of strength training, the star power bottomed out.
Ji Xinghuo's physical strength also happened to be exhausted.
"Whew...... Whew......"
He sat down, panting and sweating, his clothes soaked as if he had been fished out of the water.
"I'm tired!"
Ji Xinghuo didn't even want to move a finger.
But he still opened the interface of the Vientiane Star Pupil, stared closely at the line of [Star Power], and noted down the current time point.
Soon, as his physical strength recovered, his star power began to rise.
When the star power returned to 53, it was already one o'clock in the morning.
"140 minutes."
Ji Xinghuo calculated the time, "It will take 140 minutes for my star power to fully recover, which is a little longer than expected." ”
"I've fully recovered my strength."
"But you can't exercise again immediately, otherwise you will be overtired, which will cause damage to the muscles and bones of the body, and you should rest for at least four hours."
"In other words, even if I don't have to train abilities, I can only train up to three times a day."
Ji Xinghuo's thoughts were active, "However, during the rest period of these three exercises, it can train a thousand dexterous hands, and it does not consume much star power, and its impact on star power recovery is very low." ”
He quickly gave himself a workout plan.
Xingli cultivates three times a day, and the exercise process plus rest time takes five hours at a time.
In the last two hours of each break, train Thousand Dexterous Hands, three times a day, for a total of six hours of ability practice.
Meals and toilets should also be arranged during breaks as much as possible.
Just do it.
At half past six the next morning, Ji Xinghuo got up, and at seven o'clock on time, he started the day's cultivation as planned.
At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, he completed his first workout cycle of the day.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the second one was completed.
Take an hour to eat and rest.
It continued at six o'clock in the evening, and completed the whole day's cultivation plan at eleven o'clock in the middle of the night.
Then I lay down in bed and relaxed, watched the news for a while, walked around the Internet a few times, and went to bed on time at twelve o'clock.
Ji Xinghuo was immersed in boring training, tirelessly, staying at home, as if he had forgotten the passage of time.
Three days later.
[Ability: Thousand Dexterous Hands (3/47)]
The progress of Thousand Dexterous Hands has increased a bit.
Ji Xinghuo is very happy about this.
Because this increase only lasted a little more than nineteen hours of training, it means that the upgrade of the Thousand Dexterous Hands will not increase the difficulty, but will take less time as he trains more and more proficiently.
A week later.
[Ability: Thousand Dexterous Hands (4/47)]
[Star Power: 54]
"Finally ......"
Ji Xinghuo let out a sigh of relief.
For seven days, more than twenty times the star power was exhausted, the whole body was exhausted, the physical exhaustion began to affect his mental state, his brain was a little numb, and the star power finally increased a little.
Star power has changed from 53 to 54, but there is not much change.
If it weren't for the Vientiane Star Pupil interface displaying information, it would be difficult to detect the enhancement of star power.
Ji Xinghuo calculated, if he increased his star power a little bit a week on average, he would be able to double his star power for a whole year of cultivation.
"I don't know what the upper limit of the star power of the junior Inhumans is?"
"How much star power will be needed for the next evolution?"
Ji Xinghuo didn't have much of a clue.
He sat down at his desk, and a light and shadow were projected from the desk, forming a clear display in front of him and opening the search engine.
It has been nearly two centuries since the Earth entered the astral era.
The Internet is full of information on Inhuman cultivation star power, all kinds of teaching, analysis, ability research, career template exploration, videos and papers in various forms of data and data are huge, vast and vast, and every day is increasing in the scale of the sky.
Ji Xinghuo only searches for content related to junior Inhumans.
A few hours later.
After consulting a lot of materials and videos, he had a rough idea.
Generally speaking, there is not much difference in strength between junior Inhumans.
It's the same junior Inhuman, the same career template, and the same abilities, the junior Inhuman who has just been promoted and the junior Inhuman who is about to evolve again, if the combat experience of the two is similar to the martial arts realm, there will be no crushing gap when they fight.
The biggest advantage of the latter is still that the star power is stronger and the physical fitness is more durable.
The star power will not differ by a maximum of two times.
If you take into account the difference in class templates, some classes will have stronger star power, such as "Martial Artist", "Flame Maniac", and "Halo Fighter", and their star power will be much more than other classes.
But the Ranger is not among them, and the Ranger's star power is at an average level.
"Twice the star power!"
"As long as I cultivate for one year, my star power can be doubled, and I can almost evolve again and become an intermediate-level alien!"
"With such a fast promotion speed, it's not much slower than any genius."
Ji Xinghuo's eyes were full of anticipation.
He suddenly remembered Zhao Manying, who had been the hottest in recent times, and it took more than a year for this "Sword Immortal" to be promoted from a junior alien to an intermediate level.
You can, and so can I!
Ji Xinghuo is full of confidence in this.
However, instead of immediately continuing to devote himself to cultivation, he changed into clean clothes and walked out of the house where he hadn't been out for a week.
