Chapter 2: Breakthrough
Chapter 2: Breakthrough
"Xiao Dou Bao, let's go!" Jiang Ning stood up, holding Xiao Dou Bao's hand, and said.
"Du Du, it's time for lunch!" Xiao Dou Bao's face lit up with joy.
As they entered the main hall, Jiang Ning saw his Elder Sister, Liu Wanwan, already seated.
At this moment, Liu Wanwan, despite her simple attire, exuded an air of elegance and refinement. Her appearance and demeanor were far from ordinary, possessing a superior quality.
Even in her plain clothes, she stood out, unlike the typical women bound by daily chores.
At this time, four bowls of thin porridge were already set on the round wooden table in front of them, with a dish of pickled vegetables and freshly cooked green vegetables still steaming in the center.
"Elder Sister, where's my brother?" Jiang Ning asked as he led Xiao Dou Bao to their seats.
He glanced at the bowl of porridge in front of him, noticing that today's porridge seemed even thinner than usual.
A slight thought crossed his mind, but he remained silent, aware of the recent surge in grain prices and the limited surplus at home.
"Your brother is still at the government office. He said he'll be back for lunch!"
Jiang Ning nodded, momentarily speechless.
After a while, Jiang Ning finished the bowl of thin porridge.
"Elder Sister, I'm done eating!" He stood up and said.
"Wait!" Liu Wanwan called out to Jiang Ning, who was about to leave.
Noticing Jiang Ning's puzzled look, Liu Wanwan, as Jiang Ning's Elder Sister, turned and took a gray undershirt from behind her."
"I've mended your clothes. Take it and put it on!"
"Later, bring out your dirty clothes for washing!"
Jiang Ning was startled for a moment before calmly taking the mended undershirt from Liu Wanwan.
"Thank you, Elder Sister!" He said slowly.
Only after Jiang Ning left did a teenager walk out from inside the house.
"Guo Guo, come and drink your porridge!" Jiang Yuan Yuan saw the thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, patted the stool next to her, and then moved her upper body, which was leaning on the table.
After handing over the dirty clothes to Elder Sister, Jiang Ning returned to the small courtyard, having finished his task.
[Immortal Divine Techniques Manual]
Looking at the book given to him by Xiao Dou Bao, a surge of excitement filled him.
With this book, breaking through the art of Literacy would not take long.
Especially upon seeing the book's title, his interest grew.
Having been in this world for over two months, he still didn't know if he had crossed over or awakened from a prenatal mystery.
He only knew that his previous self and he shared the same name and surname, and even their appearances were seven to eight parts similar, which was quite mysterious.
After so many days, he no longer dwelled on this matter, having already accepted his current identity.
At the same time, absorbing his previous self's memories, he gained a certain understanding of this world.
Before the Great Xia, it was a world where Immortals, Gods, Humans, and Demons coexisted.
The tales of Immortals and Gods also existed in his previous life, so at this moment, he was particularly interested in this book.
Jiang Ning slowly opened the Immortal Divine Techniques Manual and carefully flipped through it, focusing intently.
Silently, a prompt flashed before his eyes.
[Literacy Experience Points +1]
[Literacy Experience Points +1]
The sun gradually rose, hanging high in the sky.
The temperature had long since lost the morning chill, and the earth was becoming scorching.
Under the grapevine arbor, a thin layer of sweat began to form on Jiang Ning's forehead.
At this moment, Jiang Ning was completely focused on the Immortal Divine Techniques Manual before him, all his attention absorbed by the book.
Time passed, and after a while, a wisp of cooking aroma reached Jiang Ning's nose, bringing him back to his senses.
[This reading session has increased Literacy Experience Points by 29.]
【End-of-Year Assessment】
He looked up at the sky, instantly seeing the scorching sun high above.
"It's almost noon!" he muttered to himself.
He then opened his panel.
【Skill】: Literacy [997/1000] (Talent: None)
"Just need three more Experience Points to max out!"
His heart was filled with excitement, and his attention immediately returned to the Immortal Divine Techniques Manual in front of him.
Just then, a middle-aged man with a tall stature, dressed in a black robe, and a long sword slung across his waist, stepped into the small courtyard.
Seeing Jiang Ning reading diligently with his head down, the man couldn't help but show a relieved smile.
Especially when he saw the title of the book Jiang Ning was holding, he couldn't help but smile widely.
"My little brother has finally grown up!" he muttered to himself.
Then, he quietly approached the kitchen.
"Madam!" Seeing the busy woman, the middle-aged man's eyes softened.
"You're back?"
"Mhm!" The middle-aged man responded softly.
"Why have you been coming home later and later lately?"
"Times are tough. Luoshui County is becoming less and less peaceful, and the pressure on us is increasing!" The middle-aged man explained.
"I hope nothing bad happens!"
"I won't let anything bad happen!" The middle-aged man reassured her, "Even though your man's martial arts are ordinary, he's the fastest runner when things get dicey!"
"You're always boasting!" The woman raised the corners of her mouth, muttering softly. Then she added, "Go and wash up, and then take good care of Xiao Dou Bao! She'll cry if she doesn't see anyone when she wakes up!"
"Okay!" The middle-aged man nodded.
Before leaving the kitchen, he smiled widely again, "Madam, did you see it? Ah Ning has truly grown up these days!"
Hearing this, Liu Wanwan, who was busy, paused her work.
"You and your little brother!" She shook her head again, "You're even more attached to him than to your own son!"
The middle-aged man understood that his wife was somewhat resentful.
He walked up to Liu Wanwan and hugged her from behind, "I've wronged you all these years!"
The entire kitchen fell silent.
After a moment, Liu Wanwan patted the hands that were wrapped around her waist.
"You stink, go take a bath!"
"Received!" The middle-aged man immediately chuckled.
On the other side.
【+1 Experience Point for Literacy】
【Reading this book will grant 3 Experience Points for Literacy.】
Seeing this prompt, a strong joy flashed in Jiang Ning's eyes.
He immediately opened his panel.
【Skill】: Literacy + [1000/1000] (Talent: None)
"Finally maxed out!" he thought to himself.
The next moment,
His eyes unconsciously focused.
Because at this moment, his panel underwent a change he had never experienced before. A plus sign appeared behind the Literacy skill.
In the past, whether it was the initial entry, proficiency, or the small to great breakthroughs, as long as the Experience Points were accumulated to the full, the breakthrough would naturally follow.
This time, however, it was completely different. The required Experience Points for the full level breakthrough had been met, but there was no sign of breaking through to the next level. Only a plus sign appeared behind the Literacy skill.
Looking at his panel, Jiang Ning's thoughts landed on the plus sign.
【Literacy has reached the full level. Do you want to consume 10 Source Energy to break through the limit of Literacy?】
