Perhaps this is a form of energy conservation.

The more one's Martial Power Value grows, the hungrier one becomes~

Lin Nan, like the wind, rushed to the cafeteria, his stomach long since shriveled with hunger. If he didn't eat something soon, he feared he might literally starve to unconsciousness.

The cafeteria was packed, as Cultivating martial arts consumes a tremendous amount of physical energy. To replenish it, students need to eat a lot every day~

This is also why, after class, everyone runs to the cafeteria to grab food.

It's not that they're afraid there won't be anything to eat if they're late~

It's purely because they're starving to the extreme.

"Auntie, give me five chicken leg rice and five beef over rice~"

Let's fill my stomach first.

As for the new foods of this world, they can be dessert after the meal.

The serving auntie looked up, "Are you eating alone?"

"Yes~"

"Student, waste is shameful, you know?"

It's true that students' appetites increase greatly after practicing martial arts.

But each meal portion in the cafeteria is also super large. Girls are usually full with about half a portion, and boys typically only need one. A very few can eat two portions and have a bulging stomach.

Five chicken leg rice, plus five beef over rice.

Are you kidding?

Even if you were a barrel, you couldn't eat that much.

Moreover, Lin Nan didn't look like someone with two stomachs.

"Here, I'll give you one super-sized chicken leg rice first. Eat that, then we'll talk~"

The serving auntie truly believed waste was shameful, so she served a super-sized chicken leg rice and handed it to Lin Nan.

"Thank you, Auntie!"

Lin Nan didn't want to say anything else. He found a seat and started his eating spree.

At the same time.

Not far away, Song Huanmiao was also eating. Today's set meal included two vegetable dishes, one of which was pumpkin.

Pumpkin?

Originally, she liked eating it, as it was tasty and didn't cause weight gain.

But today, the normally delicious pumpkin somehow looked so annoying.

Perhaps it was because 'pumpkin' (pumpkin) has the character 'Nan' (South).

And a certain super scoundrel's name also has the character 'Nan' (South).

Song Huanmiao's cool eyes stared at the pumpkin as if she was looking at that super scoundrel. In a fit of anger, she picked up a small knife and furiously sliced at it again and again.

Hmm?

This seems like it can Cultivate the proficiency of sword techniques~

As expected of a Genius girl.

Song Huanmiao was surprised to find that she could practice the proficiency of sword techniques while slicing pumpkin with a small knife.

This feeling was simply amazing!

Not only could she vent the anger in her heart, but she could also practice sword technique proficiency.

"Auntie, please give me two more servings of pumpkin, thank you!"

Following time.

Sword technique proficiency +1!

Sword technique proficiency +1!

Sword technique proficiency +2!

...

In this world, once a skill's proficiency reaches 500 points, it is Entry-Level.

Reaching 1000 points is Minor Achievement!

5000 points, Major Achievement!

10000 points, Perfection!

Above 50000 points, Transcendent!

Song Huanmiao's favorite martial Dao was sword techniques. Her proficiency was around 400, and with a bit more effort, she would soon reach Entry-Level.

However, for a long time, she seemed to have fallen into a Bottleneck. No matter how much she practiced, it was difficult to improve her sword technique proficiency.

Even though her father at home spent a fortune to hire a sword technique master to tutor her, the effect was still negligible.

Just when she was starting to doubt whether she could even reach the Entry-Level of sword techniques.

As a result, today, while venting her anger on the pumpkin, she unexpectedly discovered that it could improve her sword technique proficiency.

Including the portion of pumpkin already on her plate, she had a total of three servings of pumpkin.

By the time she sliced all three servings of pumpkin into thin pieces.

Her sword technique proficiency had actually increased by 38 points.

As her sword technique proficiency increased, her Martial Power Value also rose by 2 points!

What an unexpected gain!

Song Huanmiao contentedly put down the small knife, took a tissue to wipe the fine sweat from her forehead, and a rare smile bloomed on her cool face.

So beautiful!

A large number of boys in the cafeteria were captivated~

The auntie who was mopping the floor almost doubted her life. She looked at the mop, then at the large group of boys lying on the floor. No way, was the floor she just mopped really that slippery?

"Finally a Breakthrough~"

"I want to strike while the iron is hot and see if I can directly step into Entry-Level sword techniques!"

Song Huanmiao decisively got up and asked for two more servings of pumpkin.

But the feeling of Epiphany is often fleeting.

Just now, no matter how she sliced the pumpkin, she could improve her sword technique proficiency.

But now, with these two servings of pumpkin, there was completely no such feeling when slicing them.

Even after slicing these two servings of pumpkin into a paste, her sword technique proficiency did not increase by a single point.

A bit of a pity~

But the 38 points of proficiency she gained earlier, and the 2 points of Martial Power Value, already made Song Huanmiao very satisfied.

She took her tray to the reclaim area and immediately walked towards the training hall.

Since her sword technique proficiency had already increased, she couldn't wait to test the results.

As Song Huanmiao left the cafeteria, the boys' gazes uniformly 'escorted' her.

Only one boy, from beginning to end, did not look up, diligently eating his meal.

Ten minutes later.

Finally full~

Under the dumbfounded gaze of the auntie at the counter, five chicken leg rice and five beef over rice were all completely devoured!

Lin Nan smiled at the auntie, "Auntie, I didn't waste food, did I?"

Eating one portion, then ordering a second, a third...

It was just a bit troublesome.

But the auntie was also kindly reminding him, so it was completely understandable!

The auntie's mouth twitched a few times. Others only had one stomach, but the Lin Nan in front of her clearly had a barrel in his stomach~

Lin Nan leaned back in his chair, rubbing his bulging belly. He was full, and it was time to deal with some matters.

【System, you've been dinging non-stop, haven't you? Can't even eat in peace!】

【Let me see what all the dinging was about~】

【Contract target's sword technique proficiency +1, 30 times return already!】

【Contract target's sword technique proficiency +1, 45 times return already!】

【Contract target's sword technique proficiency +2, 50 times return already!】

【...】

Good heavens.

A total of about twenty return notifications.

No wonder it kept dinging.

Finally, a tally was made.

Contract target Song Huanmiao's sword technique proficiency increased by a total of 38 points, and the return on Lin Nan's body became 1418 points.

Directly to Minor Achievement in sword techniques?

At the same time.

Song Huanmiao's Martial Power Value increased by two points, 30 times return already.

In the time it took to eat a meal.

From a complete novice in sword techniques, he directly stepped into Minor Achievement in sword techniques.

Martial Power Value also increased by 60.

Reaching 4018!

Officially entering the Rank of Grade Four Warrior.

"This!"

"Simply invincible!"

Lin Nan looked at these prompts, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

This way of getting stronger by simply lying down was simply beyond words.

Moreover.

This was only a Rank one System, only capable of 1-50 times return.

If the System upgraded in the future, 100 times, 1000 times, or even 10,000 times return.

Tsk tsk tsk!

【System, I spoke too loudly just now, I'm sorry~】
