Chapter 1030: Chapter 1030: Skill Solidification

(Thanks to Mumu for the SenSen monthly ticket encouragement)

"Liu..."

Seeing Liu Banxia rushing over, Li Hao was about to greet him, but Liu Banxia zoomed past and disappeared.

"What’s up with Teacher Liu? Did something happen?" Li Hao asked puzzledly.

"Doesn’t seem like it. Teacher Liu was running with a grin on his face, maybe it’s some good news?" Huang Bo replied.

"Just eat and don’t get involved," Su Wenhao chimed in.

The two nodded, finding it quite reasonable.

Today, Teacher Liu is obviously not himself, so unpredictable. Why get close? Might as well avoid a splash of blood.

Inside Liu Banxia’s heart, he was filled with joy, like he was brimming with happiness.

Just when he was halfway through his meal, the system finally prompted that the update was complete, and he needed to check the relevant functions.

He had endured for so long, how could he sit still now? He had to figure it out.

He dashed to the lounge and sat solemnly on the bed, pulling up the system.

Liu Banxia: Level 60, 212715/217550

Title: Respected Surgeon

Mental: 80 points (Understanding, Memory, Focus increased by 42.86%)

Agility: 80 points (Stability, Speed, Touch increased by 48.15%)

Strength: 70 points (Strength, Equipment Mastery, Equipment Effect increased by 62.79%)

Endurance: 60 points (Endurance, Stamina increased by 53.85%)

Attribute Points: 3 points

Glory Points: 503 points

Dressing Technique: Level 4, 86360/99999

Suturing: Level 4, 87866/99999

Diagnostics: Level 5

Liu Banxia was stunned. What’s this ozone layer nonsense? After all that hassle, there was no change, what was that all about? Isn’t this bullying?

He was anxious and eager for so long, only to find out it was useless?

Just as he was frustrated, he noticed something else. Next to his avatar on the interface were small letters: Solidification: 0.

Enable solidification skill? Yes or No

Seeing the system’s prompt, Liu Banxia decisively chose "Yes."

The system isn’t just for show. Solidification might be the biggest change in this update.

The host has passed the test and met the conditions to activate the solidification skill.

Solidification skill combines solidification stones with attribute points, perfectly enhancing the base attributes. Solidification stones can be earned through flawless surgery ratings.

Each solidification consumes 200 Glory Points.

The system mall has opened access to purchase flawless gemstones.

Solidification stones can also be used with flawless gemstones, with a success rate of 0.01%.

Use the solidification skill cautiously. Once used, attribute points reset, and gems embedded in the same attribute are cleared.

Liu Banxia was truly dumbfounded. Ridiculously expensive. But also incredibly compelling. This is where the system really shines.

In essence, this means that his attribute points can become his real attributes, genuinely strengthening his body.

Basically, it’s pulling him out of the pit instantly.

Currently, he appears powerful but it’s the system’s equipment that’s strong. It’s the attribute points and gem bonuses.

What if something extraordinary happens? He might find it hard to manage.

Like this time, how panicked was he during surgery? And how weak afterward?

That won’t happen anymore. He’ll be able to truly strengthen himself rather than rely on the system’s enhancements, which are just the cherry on top.

This is the core of the enhancement system.

In the early stages, it pushes him to work hard and experience changes from attribute upgrades. Mid-to-late stages, it genuinely fortifies his body, making him truly powerful.

No wonder there are system enhancement stones and attribute points in the mall, they always seemed a bit wasteful. Now it all makes sense, the real value of attribute points.

As for the idea of using flawless gemstones together for solidification, he didn’t even consider it. It’s pure extravagance.

He’s never trusted probabilities much, and with a 0.01% chance, it’s pitifully small. He wouldn’t waste Glory Points on that.

Thinking of this, he opened the system mall again. Sure enough, there are flawless gemstones now. They add 15 attribute points directly, and the price is steep—500 Glory Points per piece.

They add five more points than the flawless level, with the price doubling and then some, following the system’s notorious black market principles.

However, this system is humane enough since his dressing and suturing skills are nearing level 5. Once they reach level 5, the skill points gained will also convert into Glory Points.

Glory Points will be easier to obtain in the future and will accumulate more. Keep saving, and you’ll definitely gather enough for the solidification costs.

With a system like this, how can it not be awesome?

"Hehehe, haha, hahahaha..."

Liu Banxia originally tried hard to hold back, but now he couldn’t anymore; he really couldn’t resist.

The laughter was truly outrageous, so much so that Xu Yino, who just hurried back from the cafeteria to see what was going on with Liu Banxia, didn’t dare to knock on the door.

"Nuonuo, you go by yourself, I’m scared," Liu Yiqing suddenly said and ran off.

Xu Yino clenched her teeth, thinking about the house she was about to buy, and decided to give it her all.

"What’s up?"

But before she could knock on the door, Liu Banxia opened it and stepped out.

"Uh... nothing, wait, actually something. Teacher Liu, when will you ask President Qiu?" Xu Yino quickly improvised.

"That’s simple, I’m in a great mood today, I’ll handle it right away. By the way, is there anyone in the cafeteria eating right now? Tell them to bring me back some spicy diced chicken, some rice, and a bowl of soup," Liu Banxia said gleefully.

Xu Yino was dumbfounded. What was going on? Did she hear wrong?

When we went to eat before, the big boss warned me not to eat too much spicy food. What’s up now? He wants to order an extra meal himself? Is he that unpredictable?

She was genuinely frustrated inside, but had no choice but to contact the others.

Why bother how the big boss acts unpredictably? People might be unpredictable; what can you do?

Liu Banxia was in such a good mood that he immediately took out his phone and dialed Qiu Huaili.

"Banxia, what’s up?" Qiu Huaili asked when he picked up the call.

"Comrade Old Qiu, I need a favor from you," Liu Banxia said righteously.

Qiu Huaili laughed, "You always ask for favors so confidently? Did you upset Qiaoqiao? I can’t help you with that."

"Haha, I can handle my wife myself." Liu Banxia laughed too.

"You remember my group of six? Two of the girls are so fed up with renting that they plan to buy a new home. A well-decorated apartment, ready to move in. A large one-bedroom or a small two-bedroom is alright, but better a two-bedroom for convenience."

"I was wondering what it was. From which project? Whose property?" Qiu Huaili asked.

"They haven’t chosen yet; I need to see what kind of deal you can offer first," Liu Banxia said.

Beside him, Xu Yino nearly put her ear against the phone, hoping to hear a great deal.

"Get lost, choose a development project first, then we’ll talk. Hanging up, I’m playing ball with friends." Qiu Huaili said and hung up.

"You heard that, right? Just buy a two-bedroom then. Better to be slightly bigger, more convenient later," Liu Banxia said.

"Yeah, a two-bedroom. Teacher Liu, what’s the deal? How good could it be?" Xu Yino asked somewhat shyly.

"Don’t worry about Old Qiu; he’ll surely let you buy at a price you can’t find elsewhere in Binhai City," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"I’ve also heard him talking about many twists and turns involved, but you don’t need to worry about that. Just pick a nice house, and we’ll go check it out."

"Thank you, Teacher Liu, I’ll treat you to the meal just now," Xu Yino said sweetly.

"Otherwise? Did you think I’d pay you? Dream on. Discuss the property with Liu Yiqing during lunch; you can take a short break." Liu Banxia said.

"But you also need to work harder. Though I’m thick-skinned, I can’t frequently exploit others. It wears thin when you do it too often, so use it cautiously."

"This is just for you guys; I wouldn’t bother Old Qiu for anyone else. You’re all learning from me once. You six each have one chance."

"Hehe, thank you, Teacher Liu." Xu Yino giggled and ran off to find Liu Yiqing.

She didn’t have time to think about Liu Banxia’s unpredictability. Choosing a house was more urgent. She couldn’t believe she’d be buying a small house someday.

This matter wasn’t just a spur-of-the-moment thing influenced by his close relationship with Qiu Huaili.

Even with Qiu Huaili helping, he wouldn’t offer a rock-bottom price nor lose money. Just more advantageous than normal purchases, allowing good floor and orientation choices.

Personal connections need back-and-forth exchanges. Always saving without using is no good, but using them until deficit is even worse.

For Qiu Huaili, this was nothing. Just two small apartments, what’s the big deal?

Now his mood was indeed excellent, and in less than five minutes, Li Hao came back with the meal delivery.

"Thanks for the hard work, keep it up," Liu Banxia praised with a smile.

"Teacher Liu, did I make a mistake?" Li Hao hesitantly asked.

"Be confident; would I praise you if you made a mistake? The spicy diced chicken looks great; I’m going to eat." Liu Banxia said joyfully.

Li Hao was bewildered, glanced around, and slipped over to Xu Yino.

"Teacher Liu, what’s up today?" Li Hao asked.

"Don’t ask me, I don’t know either," Xu Yino replied. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Then what’s up with you two? Why are you so happy?" Li Hao continued to inquire.

"Hahaha, of course, I’m happy. But now I don’t have time for you. Be good, go play by yourself for now," Xu Yino said, then started discussing with Liu Yiqing again.

Li Hao genuinely didn’t know what to say anymore. It was a fine day, but why did everyone seem to be acting a bit crazy?
