Chapter 207 0206 Ancient Plays, Night Attack Magic Skills

"Walk rope?"

"What new skill is this?"

Chen Jue was slightly stunned after carrying the electric water heater to the other side.

He also didn't expect that the panel would trigger new skills while he was walking the tightrope.

You know, Chen Jue tried many times before to trigger skills such as Qinggong and Parkour, but failed.

Unexpectedly, the first time he tried to walk a tightrope, he discovered a new skill that he couldn't understand.

Taking into account the attributes that unexpectedly exploded when climbing the iron rope, it can only be said that this Yunzhai may really be Chen Jue's lucky treasure.

…

With some doubts, Chen Jue carried the water heater back to the school dormitory.

Since it was already dark and past meal time, Wu Fang specially prepared a lunch box for Chen Jue and placed a hot pot on the stove to keep it warm.

Seeing his girlfriend being so sensible and considerate, Chen Jue felt warm in his heart.

The feeling of having a hot meal when you go home is much better than ordering cold takeaways in the city.

After quickly finishing the meal, Chen Jue went to get some tools and installed the electric water heater into the simple bathroom in the dormitory.

Although he didn't have any formal training as a plumber, with Chen Jue's current hands-on ability and his fool-like installation method, he could turn on the hot water in the dormitory within a short time after reading the instructions.

"Brother Jue, thank you!" Wu Fang tried the warm water flowing from the shower with a joyful smile on her face.

There are not many households in Yunzhai with water heaters. They all use hot water produced by burning firewood on the stove, and they also use a bath bucket or a bathtub for bathing.

The method is relatively primitive and not as convenient as modern showers.

After coming for a few days, Wu Fang has not fully adapted yet. Now that she has an electric water heater, she can finally take a hot bath comfortably.

Regarding his girlfriend's thanks, Chen Jue waved his hands indifferently. To him, it was all a trivial matter.

"It's a small matter. If there are any electrical appliances that are missing in the back, I will buy them."

"Let's not talk about this for now! Let's try this water heater first. If the power is not up to par, I have to return it." After saying that, Chen Jue smiled evilly and punched the water heater with a smile on his face. Teacher Wu, who was all red, welded the car door shut.

…

Testing the power of hot water is not a trivial matter for outsiders.

In addition, the nightlife in Yunzhai was almost zero, so after testing the hot water, the two went to bed to rest.

The bunk beds on the second floor were very narrow, only about 90 centimeters wide. It was impossible to sleep with Teacher Wu in his arms, so Chen Jue took the initiative to climb to the upper floor to sleep.

Before going to bed, he was secretly worried about why he had omitted such an important material as a bed when he went to the county town to purchase today.

He was rushing to live together... No, he came here to improve his attributes and train.

How can you ensure your physical strength for daily exercise and recharge your batteries without a comfortable bed to sleep on?

So early the next morning, when the interrupted network signal in Yunzhai was restored, Chen Jue bought a 2-meter high-end large bed online on Taobao without saying a word, and the complete set of high-end mattresses cost more than 10,000.

In addition, he also took advantage of the restoration of 4G function on his mobile phone to search the Internet for content related to the new skill [Zero].

After checking the information, I found out that this "rope walking" was actually a kind of acrobatics in ancient China. It is also called rope skill and soft rope walking. It is one of the 100 ancient operas and has records in the Qin and Han Dynasties.

In ancient times, the level of steelmaking was underdeveloped, and props such as steel wires and steel ropes did not exist at that time. Rope craftsmen only used straw ropes, hemp ropes, beef tendon ropes, etc. that were suspended in the air.

But what surprised Chen Jue the most was that the origin of this seemingly acrobatic [rope walking] skill actually came from the battlefield.

"The scout hooks the city wall with his flying claws, and then climbs up the city wall using the walking rope. The movement is much smaller than using the ladder. It is indeed a magical skill for attacking the city at night."

"No wonder the movement skills used to attack cities and strongholds are triggered by the panel!" Chen Jue couldn't help but sigh.

This new skill also conforms to the principle of "survival of the fittest" that he had previously envisioned.

…

After checking the information, the sky outside the dormitory was still a little dark.

After looking at the time at 5:30, Chen Jue realized that there was nearly an hour of geographical time difference between Yun Province and Jiang Province, and the sunrise would be slightly later.

It would take a few days for ordinary people to adjust their biological clocks when crossing such a long distance, but because of Chen Jue's habit of getting up early and his high physical attributes, his physical strength recovered much faster than ordinary people.

So while his girlfriend was still asleep, Chen Jue typed on his phone and left a message. Then he got out of bed, changed into a set of sportswear, and jogged away from Yunzhai Township School before it got dark.

When he ran to the bank of Dulong River, Chen Jue took a deep breath.

While moving his hands and feet, he looked at the iron rope swinging slightly in the morning breeze, then took off his shoes and stepped forward barefoot.

Because he had tried running on the rope in strong winds last night, the wind this morning was not as strong as last night, but with dozens of kilograms less weight on his body, Chen Jue found that he was not as stable as last night when he stepped on the rope.

So I slowed down my pace, focused on stability, tried my best to ensure that I didn't fall into the river, and started to move slowly on the iron rope.

At this time, the [Rope Walking] skill on the panel began to naturally increase its proficiency by +1+1 in line with Chen Jue's pace.

"This is all done in person, and the growth rate is so slow?" Chen Jue looked at the +1 green light that appeared on the panel with a hint of joy on his face.

After more than half a year of exploration, Chen Jue has already understood the types and upgrade rules of panel skills very thoroughly.

If it is an ordinary low-level skill, because the upper limit of the skill is too low, the proficiency will often increase significantly after practicing a few times, and it will not take too much time to reach perfection.

Like the previous [skating] skill, Chen Jue went to the ski resort and spent an afternoon full of energy.

Once you encounter this kind of slow growth in proficiency, it means that the upper limit of [Rope Walking] is very high, and it is even very likely to be comparable to advanced skills such as [Climbing] and [Hidden Weapon].

The benefits of triggering such advanced skills often bring about substantial attribute increases.

This is a great thing for Chen Jue!

It’s a hundred times happier than winning the lottery jackpot!

…

So, before the sun rose in Yunzhai, Chen Juedu walked slowly back and forth on the iron cable across the river alone.

During this period, we encountered strong winds and turbulent currents passing through the river, and almost fell into the river.

However, Chen Jue relied on his full-level [Climbing] skill to rescue him.

When practicing rope walking, he is not afraid of stepping in the air or falling. As long as he reacts in time and firmly grasps the rope with both hands, it will be fine.

With his current upper body strength, he wouldn't be afraid of his slippery hand falling if he hung another one or two hundred kilograms of weight on his body.

However, since the proficiency of [Zooming] has been maintained at a +1 growth state, Chen Jue felt that for his subsequent practice, he could refer to the advanced practice methods of Baguazhang and Shenfa taught in the secrets of Longmen.

You must know how to practice Longmen Baguazhang, from walking on the ground at the beginning, to walking on bamboo baskets, and walking on water tanks. As the skill increases, the water in the water tank gradually decreases, and the center of gravity changes from low to high.

At the end of the training, you have to step on the edge of the water tank to wet the soles of your feet, and the difficulty continues to increase level by level.

This advanced practice method of difficulty pioneered by predecessors gave Chen Jue a lot of ideas, and he felt that it should also be effective when incorporated into [Rope Walking].

For example, you can walk barefoot on the cable at the beginning, then put on shoes and carry weights later.

If the practice efficiency decreases and the proficiency increases slowly, just apply oil and soap on the soles of the feet.

"Whenever I can freely practice Tai Chi on this iron rope and stand on the rope, I guess I will have almost mastered the new skill of [rope walking]." Chen Jue muttered.

Early in the morning, the wind was blowing on the Dulong River, and his brain's ideas slowly began to shine with the rising sun in the distance.

During such a high-intensity thinking exercise, a new prompt quickly popped up on the panel:
