Chapter 2: Skills: [Digestion]

In a room with two bedrooms and one living room.

Jiang Chen came to his parents' room and offered incense to his parents.

When he was ten years old, his father joined the army and died in the battle between the Moon and the Eldar.

Not long after, my mother became ill with longing for her and passed away.

"Dad, Mom, with the blessings of the heavenly spirit, I hope I can open the psychic door this time."

Jiang Chen smelled the incense and prayed to his parents' memorial tablets.

Leave the room, wash the vegetables and cook.

His parents died young and he had already developed his cooking skills.

I made two simple side dishes, turned on the TV, and the news was playing.

"In the No. 22 psychic channel between Blue Star and the Moon, Zerg suddenly appeared, causing twenty-three people to be injured and seven people to die."

"The Zerg have been driven back, and the specific reasons are under investigation."

"The development of Mars has been blocked by the Red Scale Clan. The federal army has rushed to Mars to conduct friendly negotiations."

"The rest of the planets are developing normally. Next is the report from the ancestral planet Blue Star."

“Recently, the ancestor planet Blue Star has been detected, space wormholes have increased, and the number of Eldar and Zerg invasions has become more and more frequent...

The southwest city of the Federation is being invaded by Zerg, and the Federation army is rushing to support it.

If any residents want to participate in support, please contact local officers and do not act alone.

I hope Blue Star residents will not leave the city easily, let alone go into the wild alone. "

"A war broke out between the Eldar, Zerg, and Southwest City?"

Jiang Chen swallowed a mouthful of food and looked at the TV report about Southwest City.

Ever since Blue Star set foot in the starry sky a thousand years ago, occupied the moon, and encountered the starry sky tribe.

There are many people in the Starry Sky, and Jiang Chen doesn’t know exactly how many there are.

The two main ethnic groups now are the incorporeal and illusory Eldar tribe and the large-scale Zerg tribe.

The Zerg army is vast and boundless. I heard that a single female worm can create an endless army.

The Eldar are illusory and have no entity. They can ignore physical objects and can only fight with spiritual energy.

Jiang Chen's father died in the war with the Spirit Clan.

For a thousand years, the human race and the star race have fought countless times. From the initial losing streak, to now they have won and lost each other.

But overall, the human race is still weak.

Only a small half of the moon that was originally occupied now remains.

The ancestral planet Blue Star has been continuously invaded by the two races. Many cities in the Eastern Federation have fallen into the hands of these two races.

Jiangshui City where he is located is relatively safe, but it is not safe outside the city.

Zerg and Eldar wander outside the city, always waiting for the lone person.

"I hope the compatriots in Southwest City will be fine." Jiang Chen prayed in his heart.

After eating, turn off the TV and go back to your room.

Opening the porcelain bottle, looking at the two body tempering pills, he took a deep breath: "Dad, please keep my energy bar full and push open the psychic door! When the time comes, I will also resist the invading race!"

Praying for his father's blessing again, Jiang Chen poured out a body tempering pill and put it into his mouth.

Close your eyes and breathe evenly.

This is the breathing and breathing method taught in the school. Before the door of psychic energy is opened, the only way is to use breathing and breathing to release the power of the medicine and temper the body.

The portal came to mind again, and the energy bar also increased.

99.1%, 99.2%, 99.4%…

99.9!

A body tempering pill was completely digested, and the energy bar was stuck at 99.9%.

Jiang Chen had no choice but to take the second one as the energy bar was too stuck.

After taking the second body tempering pill, the energy bar finally reached 100%.

Buzz

The colorful portal shook slightly, Jiang Chen's heart started beating wildly, was he finally going to push it away?

He was not disappointed, the colorful portal shook, and there was an extra gap.

Then the gap became wider and wider, and the portal was completely opened!

Boom Ka

The door opened wide, Jiang Chen's body was shaken, and his mind went blank.

Immediately afterwards, a piece of information came into my mind:

[You digest a pill, awakening skill: [Digestion] lv1. 】

[Digestion: Allows the things you take in to be digested quickly. 】

"??"

Jiang Chen was a little confused. In his daze, the power of the body tempering elixir that had not been fully absorbed in his body was completely digested in an instant.

The pure medicinal power disappeared quickly.

The colorful portal has disappeared, leaving only the progress bar.

The progress bar in my mind turned to 0.3%.

Behind the progress bar, there are two more options [Awakening] and [Add Points].

[Awakening] is gray, [Add Points] is bright.

Jiang Chen's attention shifted to [Add Points], and suddenly, a piece of information appeared.

[Digestion] lv1: 0%.

"Adding it to [digestion]?" Jiang Chen thought in his mind.

The next moment, the data on the progress bar disappeared, [Digestion] lv1: 0.3%.

"Did I push it away or didn't push it away?" Jiang Chen fell into self-doubt: "Or did I push it away?"

He closed his eyes and didn't feel any changes in himself, except... hunger.

Not long after finishing his meal, he actually felt hungry.

"Just now, the final potency of the Body Tempering Pill was completely refined in an instant..."

Jiang Chen thought, this digestion skill can quickly refine the body tempering pill, and can also quickly digest food?

Thinking of this, he walked out of the room, went into the kitchen, and brought out the leftovers.

He took a bite, finished the food, and then quickly lost consciousness.

You ate all the leftovers in one go, or are you still... a little hungry?

"Others open the door to spiritual energy and step into cultivation, but I open the door and become... a glutton?"

Jiang Chen frowned. Daddy's spirit in heaven, please don't bless me!

It makes the already poor life even worse.

Luckily, although the food is digested quickly, it's just a little hungry, and it doesn't have much impact.

"The [Digestion] skill can quickly refine the body-tempering pill, and it can also be upgraded."

Jiang Chen thought in his heart: "It's just that I don't have a spiritual energy cultivation method now, so I can't sense the spiritual energy and cultivate spiritual power."

Generally speaking, when the spiritual energy door is opened, there is a little spiritual power in the body, but it's very weak.

But he has nothing, just awakened [Digestion].

"Wait until tomorrow when I go to school, I'll ask Teacher Liu if I can take a leave and find a better job."

Jiang Chen made a plan in his mind.

This month's body-tempering pill is gone, and if he wants to verify it, he can only think of other ways.

He used to go out to work part-time on weekends, but that little money was only enough for his living expenses and he couldn't afford pills.

I will confirm with Teacher Liu tomorrow. If he really opens the door to spiritual energy, he can skip school and go to work or practice on his own.

After all, he is a theoretical nerd. He has mastered the knowledge in the textbooks, so it’s okay if he doesn’t go to class.

After taking a shower, Jiang Chen went back to his room to sleep.

The next morning, Jiang Chen got up early to go to school.

When he came to the door of the classroom, his classmates looked at him strangely.

Yang Xiaowen blocked the door, with anger hidden in her eyes, but she forced a smile and said in a coquettish voice: "Achen..."

"Don't call me, you don't deserve me." Jiang Chen glanced at him, bypassed her and entered the classroom.

Want his body-tempering pill?

Unfortunately, he has already eaten it!

"I fucking..." Yang Xiaowen's face turned blue with anger.

The classmates around him wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare to laugh.

"Jiang Chen!" Yang Xiaowen walked into the classroom with a dark face and came to Jiang Chen's desk.

Jiang Chen sorted out his textbooks and said without looking up: "Don't waste time on me, I ate the Body Tempering Pill."

"Eat it? Impossible, it takes at least two or three days to digest a Body Tempering Pill." Yang Xiaowen said in disbelief.

"I pushed open the door to spiritual energy." Jiang Chen said lightly.

"Pushed open the door to spiritual energy?"

Yang Xiaowen was stunned.

The classmates looked at Jiang Chen in shock, and for a moment, he became the focus of the whole class.

Yang Xiaowen swallowed the words that were on her lips.

If there was spiritual energy, the Body Tempering Pill would indeed be refined very quickly.
