Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards-Chapter 401 - 299: Gains and Choices

"Hmm... Is it already ten o’clock? It seems using the Destiny Divination Book consumes a lot of my hidden energy. I’ll need to be more careful with its use in the future."

Wang Zhifan woke up at the sound of knocking, thinking he would only need a half-hour nap at most. Little did he know, two hours had passed the moment he closed his eyes. This made him realize that the Destiny Divination Book is not something to be used recklessly.

"Hmm... This fried rice with ham is really good. Whose handiwork is this?"

Soon after opening the door for the two demon maids to enter, Wang Zhifan started enjoying the breakfast they brought. After a few bites with his chopsticks, he found the taste already matched that of a restaurant, prompting him to ask out of curiosity.

"I made the rice, but all the ingredients were prepared by Yali, so it’s both of our contributions."

The fair-skinned Yi Lin replied to Wang Zhifan without forcing all the credit onto herself.

"Not bad... You two working together improve efficiency. You both deserve praise."

After saying this, Wang Zhifan quickly devoured all the fried rice, swallowing it smoothly. Given his current physique, such a meal size and speed couldn’t be considered overindulgence; it was merely efficient.

As the two demon maids saw him quickly finish and prepared to collect the dishes and leave, he suddenly thought of something and asked them to pause.

"Take a look at this book and see if you can learn any spells from it."

He handed over a thick, hardcover classical book to the two maids, an excellent magic tome he had obtained from a player in a previous quest.

Yali, with her wheat-colored skin, took the book from him out of curiosity. Yi Lin, holding empty plates and chopsticks, leaned over to read with her, curious about what kind of book Wang Zhifan had given them.

About half a minute later, Yali looked up from the tome and replied to Wang Zhifan:

"Master, most of the spells in this book are beyond our ability to learn since our succubus powers are innate and cannot be freely developed like human mages. However, some spells that align with our power characteristics might be learnable."

"Yali is right. We might only be able to learn the fire and spirit spells; other types are beyond our reach."

Yi Lin nodded in agreement.

"Alright... then keep this magic tome with you for now. Learn whatever you can from it, and remember not to lose it."

After listening, Wang Zhifan nodded and instructed them, making the excellent magic tome available to the two demon maids as their educational resource.

His reasoning for doing so was quite simple: he knew his own limitations as a Warrior player; studying it himself was not feasible, and leaving it with him would be a waste. It made more sense to help the two demon maids improve themselves.

"Thank you, Master! We will take good care of it!"

Yali and Yi Lin appreciated their master’s gift immensely, huddling over the book as they left, leaving Wang Zhifan to ponder his plans alone, after replenishing some nutrients.

"Shall I continue practicing the Great Dream Saber Scripture today?"

As it was still early, he had just rested and eaten, so he immediately turned to more serious matters, driven by a discipline formed from past quest experiences.

"I’ve reached a deep level with the Great Dream Saber Scripture now. Further breakthroughs require years of meticulous practice, not to mention crucial insights and epiphanies about saber techniques. Rushing it may do more harm than good."

After some thought, he realized it might be time to switch to a different cultivation technique. Given his current situation, mastering the ’Life is Like a Dream’ stage of the Great Dream Saber Scripture felt like clearing a major hurdle. Going further would require not only time but also personal enlightenment, which relies heavily on luck and inspiration and is a stricter barrier than talent in cultivation.

"So should I practice Pure Yang True Skill, Wind and Thunder Heaven-Treading Skill, or Infinite Golden Body Skill first?"

Wang Zhifan began contemplating this necessary decision.

To clarify, the other three cultivation methods he was familiar with all belonged to different categories. Pure Yang True Skill is an Inner Power technique that enhances overall strength and delays aging, thereby extending lifespan. It can be seen as a power-increasing cultivation technique.

Wind and Thunder Heaven-Treading Skill is purely a Lightweight Skill, but it’s stated in the description that once mastered, it enables one to soar across the sky and sea with ease while also enhancing combat power through the addition of forces related to wind and thunder.

The Infinite Golden Body Skill from the Wuji Sect is simpler — a Body Refining Technique that, when mastered, makes the body as hard as steel with no blind spots in defense, capable of exhausting groups of enemies without breaking defenses. Of course, this Body Refining Technique also packs a powerful punch and significantly boosts combat power, not just making one a fortified turtle.

"There seems to be logic in choosing any of them... all fairly good choices..."

After a few seconds of contemplation, Wang Zhifan couldn’t help but feel conflicted, unable to establish a clear priority order. The reason being he currently had no significant weaknesses, seeming indifferent to what he studied.

For instance, concerning longevity, he possessed the supreme bloodline, making him an ageless immortal. Coupled with the Epic Time Blade that could further extend his lifespan, he needn’t worry there.

In terms of mobility and agility, he lacked none, whether it was the Dream Me Avatar Shifting Ability from the Great Dream Saber Scripture, the flight capability from the Demon Dragon Battle Armor, or even the teleportation ability from the blank belt, he had assurances for quick maneuverability.

As for defense, he excelled. Besides the foundational defense from several high-level equipment items, the Biological Force Field bestowed by the Ascender Mutation provided comprehensive, perimeter-defending automatic defense. His Vajra Indestructible talent, awakened at the Profound Mysterious Secret Mansion, fortified physical defense. The space defense from the blank belt was of a high order. Additionally, the Invisible Deceitful Clothing, Demon Dragon Battle Armor, and Immortal Deceit Ring placed him at the forefront among players in defense.

"Among these three techniques, it feels like Wind and Thunder Heaven-Treading Skill is the most free-spirited. I’ll learn this first."

After pondering without results, Wang Zhifan gave up on rational thinking and fully embraced his intuitive choice. He decided to enhance his Lightweight Skills first for one reason only — Lightweight Skills are the coolest! Especially the Wind and Thunder Heaven-Treading Skill, which is the epitome of coolness when mastered, allowing one to go wherever they please in heaven and earth!

"Initiation into the Wind and Thunder Heaven-Treading Skill requires understanding the wind and thunder forces of the world, but that’s unnecessary for me because I already possess storm power. Using the Thunder Dragon Fury regularly makes me familiar with lightning... So, I’ll begin the training directly."

Having decided on the new cultivation task, Wang Zhifan commenced methodical practice. Typically, learning this advanced Lightweight Skill requires observing storms and lightning in nature, preferably experiencing thunderous storms at sea for insights. However, Wang Zhifan trusted that he could bypass this step, going directly into the Profound Mysterious Secret Mansion to train.

Several hours later, as a shout of "Wind and Thunder from the Ground Up" echoed in the Profound Mysterious Secret Mansion, a human figure shot almost vertically skyward from the villa, rising hundreds of meters into the air, forcing him to teleport back to the villa quickly, lest he draw unnecessary attention outside.

"I should train while wearing the Wind Concealing Conical Hat."

Finally, Wang Zhifan thought of a way: to train invisibly, allowing him to practice his Lightweight Skills more freely outside the villa.
