Chapter 4

Han Jiangxue and Jiang Xiaopi live in Jiangbin City. Through Jiang Xiaopi's memories, it is known that the Huaxia region here has not changed much from the Huaxia region in Jiang Xiaopi's original world.

Jiangbin City can barely be considered a second-tier city. Although the economy is not very developed, it at least holds the status of a provincial capital.

Jiangbin City is the capital of Beijiang Province, which stands at the northernmost end of the Huaxia land, where "White Ghosts" are abundant.

As is well known, the land of Huaxia is incredibly vast, with geographical environments varying greatly from south to north and from east to west.

In the northernmost province of Huaxia, the opened interdimensional space gates are quite interesting, presenting distinct regional characteristics, perhaps a joke by the Creator.

Behind the interdimensional teleportation gates in Beijiang Province, there is usually a snow-covered, harsh, and cold tundra.

In the tundra, the most common and numerous species is the White Ghosts.

They are covered in white fur, human-shaped, and walk upright, more like apes, with heights ranging from 1.5 to 2 meters. They are strong and very fierce.

They are covered in thick, white fur, but their faces are terrifyingly black, like demons, making people shudder.

The three Star Beads that Jiang Xiaopi once absorbed were all the lowest-grade White Ghost Star Beads.

Today, it is unknown whether Han Jiangxue intentionally apologized, but she actually took out a White Ghost Shaman Star Bead.

Compared to the White Ghosts, the number of White Ghost Shamans is relatively smaller. In a White Ghost population, there is usually only one White Ghost Shaman.

Ordinary White Ghosts bully and dominate with their sharp teeth and claws, while White Ghost Shamans are more advanced, possessing magical "spells." For Earthlings, these "spells" are uniformly called "Star Skills."

At this moment, Jiang Xiaopi, who had nothing in the Star Skill section, finally acquired his first Star Skill.

No, it's his first and second Star Skills:

Blessing and Decoy.

Jiang Xiaopi opened his Star Map, and the next moment, a virtual Jiang Xiaopi appeared, becoming the main background.

On the chest of the virtual figure, a "Big Dipper" Star Map appeared, with the first star, which was originally dark, now lit up.

Countless specks of light surrounded the star, like fireflies in the dark night, dancing freely, creating a beautiful scene.

Star Power: Star Dust Level 2.

Is the Star Power still Level 2? Absorbing Star Beads is the most effective way to increase Star Power. Why hasn't my Star Power improved at all after absorbing a Star Bead?

It's important to note that Star Beads can indeed consolidate Star Skills within the human body and even increase the upper limit of Star Power. However, Star Power is also linked to physical fitness.

The increase in Star Power can promote the growth of human physical fitness, making people stronger, faster, and more robust in all aspects.

The human body is like a bucket. Only by continuously improving physical fitness can it hold more Star Power.

The two are complementary. Star Power promotes the improvement of physical fitness, and the improvement of physical fitness allows for the absorption of more Star Power.

At this moment, Jiang Xiaopi has a problem with his physical fitness. If his body is compared to a small bucket, Jiang Xiaopi's bucket is already full of Star Power and cannot hold any more, which is why the Star Power on the Star Map has not increased.

Jiang Xiaopi should now focus on physical training to absorb and improve his Star Power, making his body a larger bucket.

If he stays at home every day, waiting for the already full Star Power to automatically improve his physical fitness without training, it might take him ten years to level up.

Let's put this aside for now.

Jiang Xiaopi has already shifted his attention to the second section.

Star Skills:

1. Blessing: Slowly restores the target's vitality. (Bronze Quality Level 1, Upgradable)

2. Decoy: Creates an illusion to confuse the enemy. (Bronze Quality Level 1, Upgradable)

Indeed, lighting up one star but gaining two Star Skills!

Damn, who said "Big Dipper" can only have nine Star Skills? I can have nine, and I can probably have another nine!

The most crucial point is that when someone goes through great efforts to finally absorb a Star Skill, they are stuck at the "Bronze Quality" level for life, but Jiang Xiaopi can improve the quality of his Star Skills!

There is a common knowledge in this world: once a Star Slot is lit, the Star Skill cannot be changed, upgraded, or eliminated.

This means that even if a god-like figure has ten thousand Star Slots in their Star Map, the Bronze-level Star Skill they initially absorbed will always remain Bronze.

Bronze, so stubborn!

Jiang Xiaopi focused his mind and looked at the "Upgradable" option behind the Star Skill: "Upgrade Requirement: White Ghost Shaman Star Bead (10) or Skill Points (10)."

Wow, this gives me motivation.

Jiang Xiaopi looked at his second Star Skill: Decoy.

It also requires the same type of Star Bead or Skill Points.

Now, the question is, how do you get Skill Points?

Jiang Xiaopi was a bit confused. When this Inner Vision Star Map was on Jiang Xiaopi, it must have been explained to him, right?

"System?" Jiang Xiaopi tried to call out.

"Hmm?" Han Jiangxue looked at Jiang Xiaopi calmly. This brother, who only knows how to fool around, is really acting strange today. Perhaps he was slapped awake, but why is he talking nonsense again?

Jiang Xiaopi quickly gathered his thoughts and continued to look at the third section.

Basic Skills:

Basic Combat (Bronze Quality Level 1, Upgradable)

Abundant Star Power (Bronze Quality Level 1, Upgradable)

Jiang Xiaopi focused his mind and finally noticed something different.

Basic Combat (Bronze Quality Level 1, Upgradable), Upgrade Requirement: Self-improvement or 10 Skill Points.

Abundant Star Power (Bronze Quality Level 1, Upgradable), Upgrade Requirement: Self-improvement or 10 Skill Points.

If Star Skills can be upgraded with the same type of Star Bead, then Basic Skills can only be upgraded through self-training or Skill Points.

Just as Jiang Xiaopi was about to close the Inner Vision Star Map, he saw a small line of text in the bottom right corner: "Skill Points: 1."

Wow, that's significant.

Is this so misleading?

The text is so small?

Isn't this like the TV ads for medicine?

They exaggerate the effectiveness of the drug, but in the bottom right corner, there is a semi-transparent small line: "This product is a health supplement and cannot replace medication."

Who can see that?

...

In the three sections,

the first section of Star Power and the third section of Basic Skills can be upgraded through self-cultivation and Skill Points.

The second section of Star Skills can be upgraded with the same type of Star Bead and Skill Points.

Even a fool can see the importance of Skill Points, but Jiang Xiaopi still doesn't know how to obtain them.

After much thought, Jiang Xiaopi did not rashly use his only Skill Point. After all, he is not in a hurry and can wait to thoroughly understand the situation before upgrading. He is not in any danger right now.

"I'm asking you a question." In front of him, the cold voice came again, with a hint of severity, and her beautiful eyes became sharp.

Jiang Xiaopi came back to his senses and looked at the girl opposite him.

Tsk, this girl has a good presence. Although she has just turned eighteen, perhaps because of the existence of Star Power in this world, she has been exposed to battles that ordinary people cannot reach, making her presence and aura truly impressive.

Unfortunately, the girl's authority cannot scare Jiang Xiaopi.

"Let me see your Star Map." Han Jiangxue frowned and said.

Jiang Xiaopi shrugged, and the energy in his body flowed, causing the "Big Dipper" constellation to appear on his chest.

"Hmm." Han Jiangxue nodded lightly. Although her face was cold, she was already extremely excited inside.

The first star is indeed lit, showing the expected bronze color!

"Which Star Skill?" Han Jiangxue asked casually, maintaining a calm demeanor.

Jiang Xiaopi mobilized the energy in his body, and a few pitiful strands of Star Dust slowly flowed. With a wave of his right hand, a white light shone on Han Jiangxue.

Star Skill: Blessing!

The next moment, in the white light, the high-cold girl in the white dress, who seemed detached from the world, suddenly let out an extremely alluring nasal sound: "Hmm~"

Jiang Xiaopi: ???

Five seconds later, Han Jiangxue's hazy eyes gradually cleared, and her beautiful eyes sparkled. Her fair face had risen with two rosy blushes, like a tempting peach.

Jiang Xiaopi was a bit confused. What kind of benefit is this?

This skill... is it so comfortable?

Alright, little lady, let me continue to bless you!

Jiang Xiaopi mobilized his Star Power again, and a white light flashed in his hand, landing on Han Jiangxue once more.

Han Jiangxue: "Ah~"

Jiang Xiaopi: "......"
