C2 Let's Make a Bet

It was five o'clock in the morning when Zhang Yunfeng woke up. He was lying in his computer chair, unconscious all night. His whole body was aching. He recalled the time when he was electrocuted by the mouse. Zhang Yunfeng still had a lingering fear in his heart. He secretly sighed that he was really lucky. He just wanted to go to bed and take a nap. Suddenly, he heard a voice in his mind, "The Super Learning System has begun to activate."

"What is this sound?" Zhang Yunfeng was shocked. What was it that could speak in his mind?

"The Super Learning System has been activated. Start loading."

"Loading complete. Begin testing the test subject."

"Test subject Zhang Yunfeng, Strength: 5, Intelligence: 7, Agility: 5, Strength: 4, Available Points: 100, Accumulated Points: 100."

Zhang Yunfeng was so shocked that he could not speak. After a while, he asked tentatively, "What Super Learning System? Why would it appear in my head?"

"Super Learning System is the most advanced learning method in the future world. The system has all-encompassing skills and knowledge. The user can exchange for it based on their own points. Once the exchange is successful, the user will automatically master this skill and will never forget it for the rest of his life. "

Zhang Yunfeng asked curiously, "What skills do you have that can be exchanged for?"

"The skill list is being loaded, please wait."

A moment later, a list of skills with an extremely large capacity appeared in Zhang Yunfeng's mind. There were five major categories: life, career, science, nature and supernatural. Each major category contained a large number of sub-options.

For example, life skills included languages, culinary skills, mechanical control, home appliances maintenance, car maintenance, all kinds of welding, photographic memory, logical reasoning, anti-reconnaissance and fighting skills, physical enhancement, housing skills, and flirting skills.

There were legal lawyers, psychologists, corporate management, financial operations and stock market futures, medical knowledge, antique appraisal, professional killers and professional criminal investigation.

In scientific skills, there were mostly quantum mechanics, dynamics, astronomy, metallurgy refining, electronic engineering, and even nuclear science.

Natural skills were mostly botanical, zoology, meteorology, geology and other natural knowledge.

As for supernatural knowledge, it was hard to believe. There were talisman crafting, pill concoction, True Qi cultivation, Wind Walking Technique, Fireball Technique, Lightning Technique, Japanese Ninjutsu Technique, and so on and so forth, among which there were talisman crafting, pill refinement, True Qi cultivation, Wind Walking Technique, Lightning Technique, Japanese Ninjutsu Technique, and so on. These were all skills that could only be seen in novels.

There was a price at the end of each skill, which meant that the user had to use the points he could use to exchange for the skills he wanted to learn.

Zhang Yunfeng took a look. If he wanted to learn the culinary skills of the various countries in the world, he would need 400 points. If he only wanted to learn the culinary skills of the chinaware, he would only need 100 points.

And if he wanted to learn the languages of all the countries in the world, any single language would require 200 points.

After Zhang Yunfeng carefully observed, he found that the cheap ones were all life skills. On the other hand, the Trade Skills were much more expensive. For example, the Antique Appraisal skill required 8,000 points to exchange for it. The skills of professional killers were even more powerful. It required 14,000 points.

Science and nature were basically two categories with similar prices. The most expensive one was supernatural. A talisman making skill required 80,000 points, and if one wanted to learn true qi cultivation, they needed an entire 300,000 points!

However, Zhang Yunfeng only had 100 points that he could use.

Zhang Yunfeng could not help but ask, "What is accumulation of points?"

The system replied, "All the points you have obtained, regardless of whether they have been used or not, will be counted in the accumulation of points. For every ten times the cumulative points are increased, the System will immediately give you a skill. "

Zhang Yunfeng frowned and said, "That means I have to wait until I accumulate 1000 points, 10,000 points, or even 100,000 points before I can get a chance to draw a lottery?"

"That's right."

Zhang Yunfeng remembered the photographic memory he saw in his Trade Skill. He quickly checked and found that the photographic memory required a total of 5000 points to be exchanged.

Zhang Yunfeng could not help but feel disappointed. He asked, "Why is the price of the photographic memory so high?"

The system replied, "The photographic memory is one of the top skills in the Trade Skill. Once you obtain it... You'll have excellent memory. Furthermore, after you exchange for this skill, your Intelligence will receive a permanent increase of 5 points. Not only will the photographic memory allow your memory to be extraordinary, it will also allow you to have a better understanding and thinking ability."

Zhang Yunfeng was very excited when he heard this. If he could learn this skill, the college entrance exam would not be a problem for him anymore.

"How can I earn more points?" Zhang Yunfeng blurted out.

"There is only one way to earn points. That is to make full use of the skills you have learned and create a certain amount of effect. The effect will be determined by the system and will reward the user with a certain amount of points."

"Let me give you an example. If you obtain the photographic memory skill and use it to get good results in influential exams and competitions, the system will give you a certain amount of points after the results are determined."

Zhang Yunfeng asked awkwardly, "Then I only have 100 points right now, can I only exchange for those low-level Trade Skills? Also, if I use 50 points to learn the TV maintenance in home appliances, then should I use the continuous maintenance of TV to earn points?"

"That's right." The System agreed and said, "These 100 points are the initial points given by the System. In the future, the points will depend on you to earn them. If the user lasts for 30 days until the points are zero, the System will give the user 100 initial points again "

Zhang Yunfeng said gloomily, "I only have these 100 points now, so I can't exchange them for practical skills."

The system said, "I recommend you learn simple life skills first and use them to earn points, just like what you just said about colored TV maintenance. But I don't recommend you to learn color TV maintenance, because in this era, the color TV manufacturers basically provide more perfect after-sales services. The utilization rate of skills is relatively low. I suggest you learn welding, air welding, and argonal arc welding. These three welding skills have a wide range of applications. There are also more opportunities to use them."

Zhang Yunfeng wanted to cry but had no tears. He said, "If I want to learn these skills, then I don't need to go to high school. Wouldn't it be better if I went directly to Lanxiang Vocational School?"

As he spoke, Zhang Yunfeng suddenly saw that behind the price tag of each skill, there was a "gamble" option. He asked, "What does this mean?"

The System answered, "This means to use one percent of the price to determine the wheel. If you win, you can obtain this skill. The probability of you winning is one thousandth."

Zhang Yunfeng's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Then I can use 50 points to try and" gamble "to exchange for the photographic memory?"

"That's right."

"Then I will bet once!"

To Zhang Yunfeng, skills that could quickly improve his results were what he needed the most right now. Only then could he get good grades in four months. This way... This could be considered as giving his parents the greatest comfort, fulfilling the dream of the two of them entrusting themselves to him. As for the other skills, they were not his top priority at the moment.

"Please confirm. Do you want to use 50 points to bet on the photographic memory skill?"

"I'm sure!" Zhang Yunfeng blurted out without hesitation.

If he did not gamble, he did not know when he would be able to earn 5000 points. By then, it would be too late.

"Please pay attention to the big wheel. There are a thousand grids on the big wheel. Among them, 999 are losses. Only one of them says victory. When the big wheel completely stops moving, the needle will point to the final result."

After the system prompt, the huge wheel began to spin rapidly. It took a full 20 seconds for the wheel to slow down. Zhang Yunfeng wiped the sweat off his forehead. The chance of one-thousandth was too slim. There was only one green square on the wheel with the word 'win' written on it. The needle passed the word 'win' over and over again.

The speed of the wheel had already dropped to a very slow level, and the needle had just passed the word 'win'.

After a moment, the wheel stopped. Zhang Yunfeng's heart ached. He had lost!

There were still fifty points left. He could still gamble again!

Zhang Yunfeng was not interested in the skills that could be exchanged with fifty points. Thinking about everything for the college entrance exam, he made up his mind and said, "I will bet another photographic memory!"

After confirming with the system, the wheel started spinning again.

The word win flashed again and again. Zhang Yunfeng was very nervous.

Every time the needle overlapped with the word "win," Zhang Yunfeng really hoped that the needle would stop at this moment. However, the speed of the needle's deceleration was very uniform, so this kind of torture made him very nervous.

It was about to stop! At this time, there were still about eighty squares left before the word win could be seen!

Zhang Yunfeng clenched his fists and did not even dare to breathe. He stared at the wheel and kept begging in his heart, "Move forward a little more! Don't miss it!"

When the needle passed by the winning word, it basically did not have any speed. However, the last bit of inertia still made the needle deviate a little. It seemed to have entered the losing word!

Suddenly, the wheel seemed to have all of its power sucked away. In an instant, the wheel retreated by about a millimeter.

"Congratulations, you have successfully obtained the photographic memory skill. Now, you have grasped the photographic memory skill. At the same time, your personal intelligence has increased by 5 points, reaching 12 points.
