Chapter 285 - Practice

Chapter 285 Practice

At night, they ate and drank to their heart’s content.

Fang Heng invited the players from Hao Zhou’s team to stay in a luxurious single room in the shelter for a day.

After a day’s rest, Hao Zhou and the others would officially form a team and enter the advanced game world.

Fang Heng did not have any plans to enter the advanced game world for a short period.

He still had more important things to deal with.

When he was delivering the goods, Fang Heng had been offline for more than ten hours, so he wasn’t sleepy at all.

He would try out the skill book that he obtained!

Fang Heng brought more than ten zombie clones to the basement of the shelter.

In the game, the player had to read a few specific books to learn about them.

It was very troublesome.

Fang Heng had tried to let the zombie clones do it for him before.

Unfortunately, zombies couldn’t read.

But now, it was different.

The skill-efficient reading could also be activated by consuming vitality.

So…

Could it also work on zombies?

Zombies didn’t have vitality.

Unlimited reading!

Fang Heng pondered for a moment and prepared to try it out.

He took out a few miscellaneous books from the warehouse and then controlled the zombie clone to walk up to him and use the efficient reading skill to forcefully read the books.

The zombie clone held a book and quickly flipped through the pages. A long reading progress bar appeared above its head.

At the same time, a hint appeared in Fang Heng’s vision.

(Hint: Your zombie clone has entered the efficient reading state. By reading the book “How To Become A Top Actor”, you have gained 1 experience point for the efficient reading skill.)

“Ha! It works!”

Fang Heng slapped his thigh excitedly and immediately called a group of zombies over to the basement.

The zombie clones lined up in front of Fang Heng and took out some miscellaneous books from the storage box that were meant for the players to do pleasure reading.

Rows of game hints floated across Fang Heng’s vision.

(Hint: Your zombie clone has entered the efficient reading state. You have finished reading the book “996! Let’s All Roll It Up!” You have gained 6 experience points for the efficient reading skill.]

(Hint: Your zombie clone…)

(Hint: Your skill has been upgraded to Level 17, the current upper limit. Please upgrade your character’s level.]

In just half an hour, the zombie clones had maxed out the efficient reading skill!

It was done!

Seeing the game hints, Fang Heng threw the “2020 Hengtong Movie Theatre Guard’s Diary” he was reading into the bonfire.

He immediately opened the character’s attribute to check.

The effect of the A+ level skill was remarkable!

The efficient reading skill provided him with 11.8 basic intelligence points!

The current character’s total score was 19.5 basic intelligence points!

Compared to before levelling up the skill, it had more than doubled!

He would go to the real world to try out the skill effect!

Fang Heng threw a simple bed on the spot and went offline.

Offline, Fang Heng couldn’t wait to return to the study room behind the villa, eager to start reading

“Eh?!

Fang Heng turned on his phone to take a look.

Apart from the important summary of the company’s information sent by his assistant Pei Anan every day, as well as Xia Xi’s persistent greetings and recent reports, he also received a text message from an unknown source.

There were only a few words on the text message.

“Server 5-Old Black.”

What did it mean?

Fang Heng was stunned.

What happened to Server 5?

The cell phone number that sent the text message was empty. He could not dial it back even if he wanted to.

“Tch, the Riddler would die!!”

After thinking for a moment, Fang Heng cursed softly.

Who cares!

He had more important things to do now.

Previously, when he was learning the skill, Fang Heng had a premonition.

Since efficient reading increased the basic attribute of intelligence, did that mean that the speed and efficiency of reading were also related to intelligence?

The more Fang Heng thought about it, the more he felt that this guess made sense!

Back in the study, Fang Heng sat on the futon and meditated.

After all the distracting thoughts were removed from his mind, Fang Heng once again picked up the “Occult Guide” on the low table.

(Hint: Given that your will has passed the test, your intelligence has also passed the test.]

(Hint: You have obtained the book-Occult Guide (current reading progress: 0.21%).]

Focusing on reading, Fang Heng quickly immersed himself in the contents of the book.

The next day, the morning sun gradually lit up the room.

The drowsy feeling came again.

“I can’t read anymore.”

Fang Heng stretched himself and put the book by the side.

He casually looked out of the window.

What? It’s already dawn?

Did he read all night?

Fang Heng was pleasantly surprised.

Last time, he only read for half an hour and already felt dizzy. This time, not only did he suddenly become engrossed in reading, he managed to read for six hours in a row!

That’s right! Intelligence must have something to do with reading!

Fang Heng lowered his head to check the reading progress again.

(Hint: Current book-“Occult Guide” reading progress 2.82%.]

Compared to last time, the reading progress had greatly increased!

However, Fang Heng was still not satisfied.

The reading efficiency was still a little slow.

If he wanted to finish reading all the books, he would need to spend more time.

Feeling a bit helpless, Fang Heng closed the book and sat on the futon. He focused his mind and meditated, quickly recovering the mental strength that he had used up.

(Hint: Your shelter has completed the construction of Sandy’s art gallery.]

(Hint: Your shelter’s attractiveness has been increased.]

(Hint: The probability of your shelter’s NPC defecting has been permanently reduced by 10%.]

(Hint: Your shelter unlocked art attribute. This attribute can increase the range of your survival radio’s reception and transmission. At the same time, it makes it easier for you to meet NPC survivors.]

(Hint: Every month, you can receive an additional 3 NPCs with specific expertise (hint: only non-hidden expertise; the level of the NPC obtained is random and the highest level obtained is A+. You can increase the probability of obtaining high-level NPCs by raising the art level).]

There was such a good thing?

Every month, he would get three NPC survivors with specific expertise for free!

Fang Heng immediately chose the research staff that the shelter currently lacked the most.

(Hint: Three random NPC survivors with scientific research expertise will visit your shelter within 24 hours. Please be prepared.]

“Fang Heng, look! It’s too beautiful! Isn’t it!”

Sandy stood in the centre of the vast art gallery. He opened his hands and closed his eyes slightly, feeling the aura of art.

“Hmm… maybe, maybe…”

The construction of the art gallery was very simple. It was all basic materials. Once it was ready, it would be built directly via the game system.

Fang Heng pondered in his heart.

There were so many players in the prison now. Should he open the art gallery to them and charge another them entrance fees?

Sandy said excitedly, “Fang Heng, to commemorate this incredible day given the reconstruction of an art gallery, I suggest that we celebrate!”

“Of course! Let’s celebrate. Tonight, we’ll take in a few more survivors and researchers who are wandering outside!”

“Hey! Fang Heng!” Sandy protested, “Even though our relationship is very good, I don’t like to keep running outside. My artwork needs my care, do you understand what I mean?”

(Hint: Sandy’s loyalty has been reduced to 97.]
