Ever since he had obtained that phone, Zhou Wen had spent nearly
every moment grinding on it with a game. In turn, he received all kinds
of dimensional crystals.
In the past, his Strength was 7, Speed was 4, Constitution was 7, and
Primordial Energy was 1. After receiving the dimensional crystals from
grinding, he had raised all these values in slightly more than a month.
If it were in the past, it might have taken him years to develop so
quickly.
But if the dimensional crystal’s value was lower or the same as his, it
could only replenish some of his energy. Then, by cultivating the
Primordial Energy Art, he could raise his own stats instead of a direct
raise.
This also meant that the higher the dimensional crystal’s value was,
the better. Its effects on Zhou Wen would also be amplified. However,
having killed so many Vigor Ants in the Ant Nest, the highest Strength
Crystal he had seen was a 9. The highest Constitution Crystal was
only an 8. Speed Crystals were all low in value. Primordial Energy
Crystals were extremely rare. The 5 he had received today were the
highest valued he had seen to date.
There were many ants in the Ant Nest, and whenever they discovered
Zhou Wen’s blood-colored avatar, the number that gathered only
increased.
The drop rate of dimensional crystals wasn’t high, and most of them
were valued at 3 or lower. The higher-valued ones had extremely low
drop rates, so Zhou Wen could only rely on massive amounts of
grinding to raise the chances of him getting them.
This was also the reason he often slept in class and stopped
cultivating—apart from classes, he spent the rest of his time grinding,
even at night. He didn’t have the time or energy to cultivate or pay
attention in class.
Zhou Wen had no choice but to restart the game by dripping a drop of
blood onto the game’s screen. His blood was akin to a 1-Up in games
—one drop of blood was a life.
Upon noticing the red Vigor Ant gearing for a charge, Zhou Wen
cautiously probed it and found its Strength and Speed was far greater
than other black Vigor Ants. However, it was still manageable for him.
However, there was still clear progress—the red Vigor Ant’s health
bar was slowly dropping. Perhaps about a hundred strikes were
needed to slay it.
Thankfully, the red Vigor Ant was only slightly faster than the typical
black Vigor Ant. The blood-colored avatar had enough time to position
itself and dodge, so killing it was only a matter of time.
However, no idea came to mind for the time being. Zhou Wen could
only do his best to control the blood-colored avatar’s speed to deal
damage to the red Vigor Ant.
Just as the red Vigor Ant’s health bar almost depleted to zero, the
surrounding Vigor Ants increased, giving the blood-colored avatar no
space to circle around the former.
Crack!
Boom!
When the punch landed, the red Vigor Ant’s vital spot was struck. Its
final bit of health was depleted and its red carapace instantly
exploded. Two crystals burst out from its carcass.
Zhou Wen didn’t have the luxury to see what type of dimensional
crystals they were. His blood-colored avatar was in a critical state as
the two crystals were picked up.
Zhou Wen looked at the two notifications that appeared on the screen.
He heaved a deep sigh of relief for he had had similar experiences.
As long as he could pick up a dimensional crystal before dying, the
effects would be applied.
Upon seeing the two notifications on the screen, Zhou Wen couldn’t
help but be taken aback. He had seen a Primordial Energy Crystal
drop plenty of times, but a dimensional crystal named after Vigor Ants
was a first.
After a brief pause, Zhou Wen reacted. Although he had never seen
such dimensional crystals, he had heard of their existence. In
textbooks and videos on the Internet, people had used similar
crystals. However, they weren’t Vigor Ant Crystals, but crystals of
other dimensional creatures.
