The sensational gossip had been going on for a long time. As Su Hao walked through the campus, students occasionally pointed at him from a distance.
For this, Su Hao could only smile bitterly. During battles, he could lose himself, but in daily life, he wasn't used to such a situation. Out of helplessness, he returned to the classroom early and reviewed the battle that had just taken place.
This victory was largely due to luck.
With Chen Yifeng's current strength, suppressing his source ability to level 5 was already very difficult. Using a common move would likely cause his source ability to exceed 5 points instantly.
Therefore, every time Chen Yifeng made a move, he had to think carefully, expending a great deal of energy. For ordinary people, it might be fine, but against Su Hao, who was at the full state of a level 5 source ability, it naturally fell short.
The incident that just happened was merely a small interlude for Su Hao.
The class bell rang, and the homeroom teacher, Yang Ziqing, entered, continuing to teach the source ability cultivation technique.
"Breathing—raising the energy—let your strength follow you, control it, and make it run along the route you have learned, bit by bit, until it completes a full circle."
Yang Ziqing guided the students in practicing the source ability cultivation technique.
Su Hao directly activated his model analysis ability and looked at Yang Ziqing. The model was instantly established, extracting Yang Ziqing's source ability cultivation technique card.
This was Su Hao's latest discovery.
Although building a model consumes very little source ability, if he only extracts specific cards instead of a wide range of cards, the consumption of source ability is almost negligible.
Therefore, he only extracted Yang Ziqing's source ability cultivation technique card.
"Name: Advanced Source Ability Cultivation Technique
Level: 2 Stars
Description: The most basic method to enhance source ability. Currently at the advanced level, it can significantly increase the total amount of source ability and its recovery."
"Indeed, the homeroom teacher is worthy of the title," Su Hao licked his lips. "Most students in the class haven't even grasped the basics, and those who have only reached the basic level. Only a few super geniuses have reached the intermediate level, while the homeroom teacher is at the advanced level! This is the first time the model analysis has rated a card as 2 stars, which must far exceed other cards."
Mastering the advanced source ability cultivation technique would allow him to rise rapidly, with an endless supply of source ability.
Su Hao's eyes gleamed as he began the analysis.
"Card selected... Advanced Source Ability Cultivation Technique... Analyzing... Model building... Card model completed..."
Swish!
A gray card appeared in Su Hao's mind, and he began the fusion with a surge of excitement.
"Whoosh—"
In an instant, the energy in his body, which had just recovered significantly, was completely drained. Su Hao was stunned. Yes, he had used his source ability, and it had only recovered less than one percent. He knew it couldn't be fused in one go, but...
Looking at the small bright spot on the gray card, Su Hao was at a loss. It was almost only one ten-thousandth!
This meant that even if he used all his strength to recover his source ability, it would take at least three months to understand this card.
Yes, three months were very worthwhile. For many people, even three years or thirty years would be worth it to understand the advanced source ability.
But... the mock exam was just a month away, the best opportunity to enter the Tianze class!
Entering the Tianze class meant stepping onto a fast track, becoming part of the school's elite! It meant a significant gap from ordinary students.
Strong faculty, abundant school resources, and rigorous trials—once the gap was opened, it was almost impossible to close. This was the school's most generous time—fighting for the highest honor and creating opportunities to enter the War Academy!
"To enter the War Academy, I must quickly improve my strength, and to quickly improve my strength, I can only rely on model analysis, but..."
"I can't wait for it to recover slowly."
After much thought, Su Hao finally remembered.
There were source ability recovery potions available for purchase on the market, even in stores. After taking them, one could quickly recover their source ability.
Actually, thinking of these things wasn't difficult, but Su Hao subconsciously ignored them because of one thing... money!
Even the lowest-level recovery potion cost 10,000 star coins, which was a price Su Hao could only look up to. He couldn't afford it even if he sold himself.
After a moment's thought, Su Hao finally made a decision.
"Work! Earn money! Buy recovery potions!"
Many high school students worked part-time, some for cultivation, some for money. The way they worked was different from before, mostly at one place—the Source Ability Bureau!
The Source Ability Bureau was essentially a place to post tasks, a middleman. Clients post tasks here, and workers come to claim them. After completing the tasks, they receive the corresponding rewards.
Apart from the somewhat high handling fees, it was safe and reliable.
The Source Ability Bureau was large. On the first floor, there were countless self-service platforms like ATM machines where everyone could view tasks.
Su Hao walked to one of the self-service platforms, swiped his hand on the screen, and countless pieces of information appeared, listing a variety of bizarre tasks.
Help Zhang San find his lost dog, task reward: 30 star coins, task level: 1 star.
Help Li Si find his lost phone, task reward: 50 star coins, task level: 1 star.
Help Xiao Ming finish his homework...
"Wow."
Su Hao was sweating profusely. Someone actually took these tasks?
The pitifully low star coins and the outrageous task descriptions. Just as he was about to complain, the information refreshed, and the dog-finding and homework tasks disappeared, meaning someone had already claimed them!
"Alright..." Su Hao reluctantly chose the right menu and filtered the information, ignoring all 1-star tasks.
Swish!
The screen flashed, and countless task information appeared, all 2-star tasks: cracking hard drive information, working as a bartender at the Scarlet Bar for a day, working as a sparring partner at the Wu Lin Martial Arts Hall for a day...
Su Hao read them carefully.
Most of these tasks were aimed at individuals' source abilities. As long as you mastered your source ability, you could usually complete the tasks easily and earn thousands of star coins. However, after reading almost a thousand task descriptions, Su Hao found not a single one that matched his skills.
Clearly, the buildings in Jianghe City hadn't collapsed, the bridges hadn't fallen, and no new buildings were being constructed. No one had posted related model tasks.
Su Hao smiled bitterly and continued reading. Just as he was about to give up, he saw a task: Collect one Star Luo Grass, task reward: one low-level source ability recovery potion, task level: 2 stars.
"Low-level source ability recovery potion!" Su Hao's eyes lit up, and he quickly opened the task details.
This was a collection task, with the collection point being a small hill three miles outside the city where Star Luo Grass grew.
"Outside the city..." Su Hao hesitated. No wonder the reward was so high. Although the distance from the city wasn't far, in this era, leaving the city meant the possibility of encountering danger at any time. You never knew where a fierce beast might suddenly appear.
"Go for it!"
Su Hao gritted his teeth, recorded the task number, and registered for the task.
The identity scan and registration were quickly completed. However, when the registrar saw Su Hao's source ability index of 5, he was stunned and quickly advised, "Student, the place where Star Luo Grass grows usually has one-star fierce beasts. You need at least a source ability of 6 to barely fight them. Even if you can't defeat them, you can escape. Why don't you think about it again?"
Su Hao firmly shook his head, and the registrar, seeing this, no longer tried to dissuade him. He had seen too many people like this.
"Thank you."
After registering, Su Hao headed towards the outskirts. It was only three miles away, so it shouldn't take too long. However, he could hear some murmurs from behind.
"Another one who wants money more than his life."
"Yeah, they all want to test their luck. In recent days, countless people have died. I don't understand why this task is rated 2 stars."
"Exactly. In my opinion, it's not a 2-star collection task but a 3-star combat task. You almost always encounter fierce beasts. It's too unfair."
