58. Frosty Bones and Icy Heart Technique!
58. Frosty Bones and Icy Heart Technique!
Bai Hui is able to achieve '99.9%' accuracy mainly due to the support of the 'simple lines' state.
Stick figures themselves don't have many complicated structures; because they are so simple, they are extremely precise.
This number may seem to have room for improvement, but in reality, it's only because Bai Hui is still made of flesh and blood...
Tian Qiyuan was unaware of this, and now he was only thinking, "If Bai Hui can do it, there's no reason why I can't!"
It's simply a matter of putting in more effort!
Moreover, the "cyborgs" have now evolved into a sci-fi version of "full-coverage helmets". As long as I can get even slightly closer to the "precision records" left by Bai Hui, I will definitely be able to continue using this Nightmare Artifact!
After all, even Nightmare Artifacts have a 'demand'.
If one's needs are not met for a long time, it is not impossible to lower one's standards... As long as one can continue to improve, even if one's "modified human" undergoes a certain degree of regression, it is not a problem.
Even Tian Qiyuan felt a little grateful to Bai Hui... If it weren't for Bai Hui spoiling the 'modified humans' with their tastes, he probably would have been 'leaking oil' for a long time...
This Nightmare Artifact works like this: 'Cyborgs' with insufficient precision are considered to be defective products that have been neglected for a long time or are on the verge of being scrapped.
Rusty marks, exposed wiring, oil leaks... these are common occurrences.
There's also the issue of 'energy efficiency,' resulting in a shorter driving range...
These are all distortions caused by long-term use of the "Cyborg" artifact, and only by constantly improving oneself can these distortions be continuously corrected.
Tian Qiyuan is currently unable to use the Nightmare Artifact because he cannot meet its requirements.
For him, it was actually a good thing... at least he wouldn't have to apply large amounts of "original perfume" every day to cover up his body odor anymore...
……
After agreeing on a monthly 'sparring' fee of three thousand with Tian Qiyuan, Bai Hui went to the Academic Affairs Office with him.
A monthly salary of three thousand yuan, while not enough to completely solve Bai Hui's financial difficulties, can greatly alleviate his pressure.
It's not that Bai Hui doesn't want more, nor that Tian Qiyuan can't afford it, but... Bai Hui is currently just a first-year high school student who just won first place in his grade once. He has no fame or reputation, and he can't be considered particularly capable, so Tian Qiyuan can't possibly give him too much.
I'm only giving him three thousand, considering Bai Hui can take him home to experience the Dream Artifact...
Tian Qiyuan didn't really value how much Bai Hui's sparring partner could help him. After all, in Tian Qiyuan's view, there were basically no shortcuts to this kind of thing, except for diligent practice. As a rich second-generation, he knew very well that those so-called "shortcuts" were basically "dead ends" with extremely strong side effects...
He just wanted to see how Bai Hui studied and practiced on a regular basis, and also to figure out how big the gap was between him and Bai Hui, so that he could defeat Bai Hui in the next arena or other competition!
That's why they offer a price of three thousand a month, and they even guarantee that if Bai Hui's sparring partners are truly worth the money, then the price will be increased even further!
……
Upon arriving at the Academic Affairs Office, Bai Hui said to Liu Shuyan, "Teacher Liu, student Tian Qiyuan wants to purchase my martial arts private sale quota. We have already discussed it, and we are here today to directly select a martial art."
"It's Bai Hui."
Liu Shuyan glanced at Tian Qiyuan, but didn't show much enthusiasm for this second-generation student. Instead, he paid more attention to Bai Hui.
"I heard you got a perfect score on your academic exam this time?" Liu Shuyan chuckled. "You have no idea how many times Old Li has been bragging to me about it since the results came out."
He said he only brought you home for a week to mentor you because he saw potential in you.
Upon hearing this, Bai Hui smiled.
Indeed, if it weren't for his experience at Li Bindao's house that week, he wouldn't have achieved what he has today; he probably would have lost all his composure the moment he got home that day...
Therefore, Bai Hui was truly grateful to Li Bin.
So he casually exchanged pleasantries with Liu Shuyan, saying some polite words of thanks...
Upon hearing this, Tian Qiyuan's heart stirred. He thought to himself, "The head of the first-year high school grade provides one-week personal guidance? Is this why Bai Hui has achieved what he has today?"
Could it be that the seemingly kind-looking, middle-aged, chubby man possesses some special teaching skills?
"By the way, Bai Hui, your teacher has found you a part-time job on campus. The pay isn't much, only four hundred yuan a month, but it's easy, and you can do it during breaks between classes."
There's no danger involved, and it's a work-study position that can boost your grades and help with your future university entrance exams.
"Is there really such a good thing?" Bai Hui asked in surprise. "But can I ask what kind of job it is? I just agreed to be Tian Qiyuan's martial arts sparring partner."
If there's no conflict, I can accept it!
He's really short of money!
"Martial arts sparring partner?" Liu Shuyan looked at Tian Qiyuan again, nodded, and said, "It's good that you've found a way to generate revenue."
It shouldn't be a conflict, since it's just about patrolling the campus. You won't be alone; you might also need to do some odd jobs... With your current skill level, you can easily complete it.
I'll tell you in detail later. For now... Tian Qiyuan, let's choose a martial arts style first.
Without a second thought, Tian Qiyuan said, "Teacher Liu, no need to choose, just take the 'Frosty Bone Ice Heart Technique'."
"Oh? It seems you've already made your choice." Liu Shuyan didn't say much more.
Although this martial art is quite difficult to master, it is indeed among the top-tier rewards for mastering martial arts within the school.
Moreover, considering Tian Qiyuan's family situation, his cultivation speed should be quite fast.
Bai Hui was somewhat surprised.
He had actually considered suggesting that Tian Qiyuan choose an ice-attribute martial art, since he still had to buy ice cups from the convenience store outside the school to sell iced Americanos to Zhang Yan.
However, if one possesses ice-attribute martial arts, this expense can be saved.
You can even make money by freezing drinks like cola and iced tea for your classmates in the future!
Moreover, he learned the prototype of "Coldness Belongs to the Heart" from Feng Jue, so his cultivation should be twice as effective!
Going a step further, it's not impossible that he could even teach Feng Jue after learning the skill and charge her another fee...
Bai Hui hadn't even mentioned it yet, but unexpectedly Tian Qiyuan had already thought of the same thing...
Tian Qiyuan was unaware of Bai Hui's thoughts, and simply said, "I think you might need it, after all, I saw you use ice-attribute techniques in your battle before..."
This "Frosty Bone Ice Heart Technique" is considered the best ice-attribute martial art in our school.
Bai Hui was surprised.
Liu Shuyan didn't pay much attention. He immediately took out a paper document, handed it to Tian Qiyuan, and said, "Now that you've made your choice, I'll inform Teacher Wu for you."
He will then teach you normally, making sure you can truly get the hang of it.
By the way, Bai Hui... how did you get a perfect score?
Was it cheating?
Liu Shuyan looked very curious: "There are only long-tongued parrots in the school, so they can't cheat, right? Or do you have some special skills?"
Don't overthink it, the teacher is just curious. After all, I'm tired of hearing Old Li talk about it... It's okay if you don't want to talk about it.
