Chapter 149

To unlock the third acupoint, the required Force Light Points double again, to forty thousand!

Unlocking the fourth, on the basis of the third, doubles again! In other words, cultivating Broken Jade Fist to unlock the next three acupoints requires at least 140,000 Force Light Points!

Of course, it doesn't mean that unlocking these three acupoints always requires that many.

It varies from person to person.

It also varies with the cultivation method.

Jiang Cheng, with Spiritual Power surging tenfold, only needs five days to refine over twenty thousand Force Light Points to unlock those three acupoints.

"Indeed, spending money on boosting Spiritual Power is a wise choice."

Jiang Cheng thought to himself.

The hundred‑plus Spirit Nourishing Pills just now can also be used to continuously absorb Force, greatly shortening the time to become a Second-level Force Warrior.

However, doing so doesn't greatly increase Spiritual Power.

It follows that to reach Level Three, the Spirit Nourishing Pills consumed will only be more!

After prioritizing Spiritual Power, in the next few days he needs not spend a single cent; relying solely on his own Spiritual Power, he can become Second-level.

Moreover, the time from Second to Level Three will also be greatly shortened.

The same applies from Level Three to Level Four.

"In the coming days, first raise the strength to Second-level, and Broken Jade Fist must keep up."

Jiang Cheng glanced at the Panel.

The Broken Jade Fist's Experience Bar is half full.

That's fine; the crucial point is the Visualization Method's Experience Bar, which is too long.

Jiang Cheng looked upward.

In the past ten minutes, the Lotus Visualization Method's Experience Value only increased by 200 points.

Against a hundred‑thousand‑point Experience Bar, that's merely a drop in the bucket.

If he devotes all daily Spiritual Power to the Visualization Diagram, he can manage about three times, i. e., 600 Experience Value.

It would take 166 days to reach the next stage.

The time is about the same as when Not Yet Entered, roughly half a year.

The difference lies in the price to shorten the time, which is now different.

Before Entry, one Primary Spirit Nourishing Pill could restore Spiritual Power three times.

Now? Since Spiritual Power has increased tenfold, a Spirit Nourishing Pill can probably only restore three‑tenths, maybe a bit more, but not much.

If we calculate that three Primary Spirit Nourishing Pills restore a full Spiritual Power and grant 200 Experience Value, then 100,000 Experience Value requires 500 times, i. e., 1,500 Primary Spirit Nourishing Pills.

One Primary Spirit Nourishing Pill costs 1,000 yuan; 1,500 pills amount to 1,500,000 yuan!

Jiang Cheng's scalp tingled.

He was lucky this time, escaping death and earning only 300,000, and even with a Heavy Sniper Rifle, selling it would surely fetch less than 200,000.

To earn 1,500,000, he would need at least three or four such missions.

But where are so many Yue Shan to kill?

The Slum Gang is numerous; killing them all should add up.

Yet while in the car, Ye Ying specifically reminded him not to act independently; he must receive a mission from the meeting before taking action.

Otherwise, there will be punishment.

Besides this method, hunting Exotic Beasts for materials is also a viable option.

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath. He is definitely going to eliminate those tumors of the Iron Fist Gang.

But his strength is still weak now; at this moment, disobeying the Dawn Society would certainly bring no good results.

So the plan can only be postponed for now.

Spiritual Power requires a massive monetary investment.

Then for now, use the greatly boosted Spiritual Power to open the acupoints.

……

The next morning, after finishing his meal at home and bidding farewell to his family, Jiang Cheng rushed to headquarters.

In fact, absorbing Force at home is the same, but considering the need to act convincingly, it's better to do it like a salaried worker.

As soon as he entered the leisure area, his phone rang.

Jiang Cheng took out his phone, answered, and Bing Li's voice sounded, "Cang Hai, I heard you completed the mission yesterday?"

"Hmm, mainly because Ye Ying was strong, I finished it without much effort," Jiang Cheng replied.

"Hehe, it's not as simple as you say, is it?"

Bing Li laughed, "I heard from Ye Ying that after you left the residence in Yue Shan, you were ambushed by several gunmen; one of them even used a Heavy Sniper Rifle, and you, a hundred meters away, shot him dead with a Handgun? Your gunmanship is that impressive?"

"I was just lucky."

"Hehe, are you free now? I'm waiting for you at Building No. 1, and I also have some things to tell you."

"Alright, I'm coming right away."

Jiang Cheng hung up, knowing the other side wanted to discuss those matters with him.

At Building No. 1, someone proactively greeted him and led Jiang Cheng into a Conference Room.

Bing Li was already seated inside, with a folder in front of him and a cup of coffee beside it.

Seeing Jiang Cheng arrive, he hurried, "Come in, have a seat."

Jiang Cheng sat opposite him.

He glanced at the documents in front of him; they seemed to be his own file.

"Cang Hai,"

Jiang Cheng

Bing Li laughed and said: "Yesterday's mission, you did very well, especially at the critical moment, cooperating with Ye Ying, you killed five gunmen with a handgun; your potential is great, the Society thinks highly of you, don't be modest."

He seemed to see what Jiang Cheng wanted to say, and spoke first: "Ye Ying said, the idea was yours; without you, she might not have gotten off with just a shoulder injury."

Jiang Cheng gave a bitter laugh.

Since the other party had said it all, he couldn't just say, "Yeah, that's my achievement."

"For the next month, you should train diligently; during this period, unless there is a special mission, the Society will not assign you any tasks, after all, strength is the foundation; regular diligent training enables better mission completion; however, there is something I also need to tell you."

"Bing Li elder brother, please speak."

"I know what you've been doing in the Poor District, and it's indeed good, but since you've joined our Dawn Society, your conduct must be somewhat different from before."

"As the saying goes, without rules nothing can be properly formed; our Dawn Society is an organization, and as an organization it has discipline, the most important of which is that members may act only after receiving a mission; unauthorized actions are not allowed."

Although Jiang Cheng had anticipated this, he still showed a puzzled expression: "Bing Li elder brother, why is that?"

"Hehe, the reason is also quite simple."

Bing Li said with a smile: "If we let everyone act as they please, how many people would die in this city in a day? Perhaps many of them would be innocent; perhaps people are just listening to one-sided stories—doing this would run counter to the original purpose of our Dawn Society."

But when missions are uniformly issued by the Society, we conduct a detailed background check on the target before each release to ensure they are truly heinous and deserving of death; do you understand?
