Level stagnation, rank leapfrogging
Time flies, especially in the vast wilderness where years are not counted. However, with a blink of an eye, another five years have passed.
Walking among humans, looking at the information bars above people's heads, White Night feels a sense of detachment from the world.
Ever since people obtained the Cultivation Method five years ago, they immediately went crazy cultivating under the leadership of Suiren. Now, most of the human race, even women who don't go hunting, have greatly increased their strength. In the eyes of Bai Ye, most of them are already 2nd-level creatures. Even those men who hunt every day and fight with wild beasts have reached level 3!
"The innate quality of humans may not be comparable to those born with spiritual roots, but it's still better than that of demonic beasts! Those wild beasts usually need to cultivate spiritual energy for over a decade just to advance one level!"
His gaze returned from the information bar above everyone's heads and turned back to himself again.
For the past five years, he has been completing all the daily tasks he can find every day without stopping, constantly upgrading and accumulating experience for himself. Although he never found any event tasks again, so his upgrade speed was not high, but with his own efforts, he successfully upgraded to level 9!
But then a problem arose: he was stuck here!
The information bar on the task panel clearly displayed the data 【Level: 9; Experience: 99.99%】.
He's stuck at level 9 with a 99.99% completion rate! No matter how much experience he accumulates, his level won't rise to 10!
And this level of difficulty has been going on since half a year ago.
[System Message: You have reached the current peak state of growth, your experience is not enough to promote you to the next rank, please find opportunities to break through and upgrade!]
This was the system message that Bai Ye received half a year ago. At that time, he was deeply immersed in his crazy life of doing tasks to upgrade, and suddenly receiving this message made him disbelieving - just as he was about to reach level 10, how could it stop at this time? Although he knew clearly in his heart that the system message would not lie, he still persisted in doing tasks, trying to accumulate experience to break through to level 10.
Unfortunately, he failed.
No matter what method he uses, whether it's a daily task or pure hunting, he can't get any experience at all. The only gain is human reputation. But as his level increases, the reputation reward becomes scarce and is no longer obtainable through ordinary daily tasks.
This card level status has been going on for half a year!
For half a year now, he has basically been working in vain. The reason he hasn't stopped his daily efforts is more out of habit and obsession. Or you could say it's the desire to break through.
Facing this situation, Bai Ye was quite helpless: "Can't we just wait for this unknown opportunity to come?"
It's not just Bai Ye who has stopped leveling up, the entire human race is in this situation! Most of the human race's levels are stuck at level 2 and can't be upgraded. Only strong men can reach level 3. Even Suirenshi was temporarily stuck at level 8.
So although Bai Ye's growth had stopped, Suiren didn't mind too much and even comforted him: Maybe after a period of accumulation, there will be a breakthrough? Anyway, everyone is the same, no need to rush!
This sounds reasonable, but Bai Ye knew that this was wrong - the pause of the human level and the situation of the Tian Xian itself were not the same!
The reason why the human race has encountered such a situation is that the cultivation method left by Fuxi is too basic. The human race practices this extremely basic method, and no great power comes to explain it, so they can only bury their heads in hard practice, and naturally encounter bottlenecks very quickly.
But White Night is different. All of White Night's powers are derived from the game system, let alone that Fuxi didn't even pass on his cultivation methods to him, he naturally doesn't have any power, not to mention things like power bottlenecks!
His pause was completely arranged by the game system!
He suddenly burst out laughing and crying at the same time: "This is just like a career change task in a game! If you don't complete this task, there's no way to make any progress!"
Using a job change task as an analogy for the progress from 9th to 10th grade is quite apt.
According to information obtained from Fuxi, the system had once released a correspondence table between the Primordial Chaos Strength Division and game levels:
Level: 0-9, Primordial Spirit; 10-19, True Immortal; 20-29, Heavenly Immortal; 30-39, Mysterious Immortal; 40-49, Taiyi Golden Immortal; 50-59, Mahāyāna Golden Immortal; 60-75, Quasi-Sage; 76-79, Sage.
It can be seen that anything below 9th level can only be considered as a mortal creature! Only from the 10th level onwards, achieving true immortality, can it be said to have entered the path of immortality and started the journey of seeking the heavenly way.
This change is enormous! In plain language, it's a transformation from mortal to immortal! In systematic terms, it's "rank promotion"!
This is much more intense than any job transfer in the game! A small job transfer task should be no big deal! But when it comes to the system, it naturally requires something like fate!
After all, to be frank, if it were just relying on daily tasks such as hunting and fetching water to accumulate experience, suddenly breaking through to level 76 and becoming a saint, White Night also felt that it was not very likely!
"It seems that we can only wait for this unknown opportunity to come! Just looking at the momentum, there will be many requests for rank promotion in the future!"
Shaking her head, Bai Ye had completely accepted this reality.
The problem now is where to find this so-called opportunity!
Just as he was deep in thought, two shouts suddenly came from outside.
"Big brother! Big brother!"
A bright voice with a hint of childishness, Bai Ye knew who it was as soon as he heard it. The corners of his mouth rose, and he turned to look at the two figures running towards him.
A boy, a girl. The boy has clear eyebrows and bright eyes, very clever; the girl has fair skin, a good figure, beautiful and charming. At this time, the two of them laughed all the way, running while jumping, full of vitality, making people feel happy beyond words.
The boy and girl ran to the front of White Night, each grabbing one of his arms and shaking them: "Big brother, you've finally come back! We were all worried to death waiting for you!"
"I'm here now!" Bai Ye laughed with extreme delight, overjoyed beyond measure.
Du, 4th rank, Human Tribe; E, 4th rank, Human Tribe
At first, Nüwa created humans, not just young men and women, but all kinds of people, including children and old people. These two children were the ones who grew up from the original children, named Duhe and Ehuo. They were born intelligent and agile, and had a natural talent for cultivation, and in just five years they went from 0th level to 4th level, making them the most talented humans!
Suirenshi and Youchaoshi were amazed by the two's natural talent, so they specially arranged for them to be under the tutelage of Baiye, the strongest of the human tribe, hoping that under Baiye's guidance, they could make another breakthrough and become existences capable of protecting the human tribe.
Although he was initially unaccustomed to being suddenly arranged as a nanny, Bai Ye quickly lost this feeling: the two children were very clever and lovely. To say nothing of others, just those two small mouths were truly sweeter than honey, and the words they spoke made people feel comfortable beyond measure!
Now Bai Ye goes out hunting every day, and at night he brings these two children to practice hard. Of course, Bai Ye is in the mode of enlightenment with them, pulling some common sense of the vast wilderness, such as the Heavenly Way, merit and virtue, etc. After all, these things are the key to their ultimate achievements. And these two children have never known these things, naturally they all listen very seriously.
But today was an exception, and while telling a story in the white night, he suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Big brother, I'm going to leave the tribe!"
As soon as these words came out, Bai Ye was shocked.
