Chapter 203: Spirituality and Proficiency

"That's right," Bai Shiqi said, unable to hide his admiration. "From him, this child realized that there's always someone better out there."

Hearing this, Bai Qifeng was both surprised and doubtful.

A Scroll Master who was self-taught was already incredible, but to make his son, from an esteemed Family, utter such a self-deprecating evaluation was even more so.

"There's such a miraculous young man?" Bai Qifeng asked curiously, "Tell me about it."

Bai Shiqi unhurriedly recounted his experiences in Yaoyang City, and casually displayed the Yin General Scroll in his hand.

The more Bai Qifeng listened, the more shocked he became. After carefully observing the Yin General copy in front of him, he gasped.

A Genius! An absolute Genius!

"Are you sure this scroll was conceived by a commoner who taught himself?" Bai Qifeng couldn't hide his shock.

"At first, this child couldn't understand it either, but after learning about the Xue Family's situation, his mindset stabilized a bit."

"The Xue Family?" Bai Qifeng was puzzled.

"That is the Family behind Xue Lingling," Bai Shiqi said solemnly, "The Xue Family is one of the founding families of the Undead Dojo. In this child's opinion, the rise of the Xue Family is an inevitable trend."

Bai Qifeng was startled, his eyes flickering wildly. "A founding Family of the Undead Dojo? No wonder!"

Subsequently, after learning about Zhao Qinghe's covert trip to Yaoyang City to target the Xue Family, a strange glint appeared in his eyes.

"Interesting~ It seems that this Xue Family might be worth winning over."

"Ah?" Bai Shiqi exclaimed in surprise, "Even a founding Family can be won over?"

"Of course, but it will be more troublesome," Bai Qifeng said with a meaningful smile in his eyes. "It just so happens that our Dengfeng Divine Domain's undead System still lacks a pillar. If we can win them over, it will definitely be an excellent complement to the Dengfeng Divine Domain. It's just that Yaoyang City..."

"Just what?"

"Nothing," Bai Qifeng shook his head, frowning deeply, and changed the subject. "Speaking of which, our Family also has a half-dead gold scroll Club in Tianfeng Province. How about I arrange for you to go there later?"

Hearing this, Bai Shiqi's eyes lit up. "Our Family has a Club in Dongfeng City? How come I didn't know?"

"It's an industry left by your maternal grandfather's lineage," Bai Qifeng explained. "You know the situation with your maternal grandfather's lineage; for several generations, no decent Scroll Master has emerged, so the Club and such are basically outsourced to other Scroll Masters to operate."

Bai Shiqi suddenly understood and immediately made a decision: "This child is willing to go."

"Very good," Bai Qifeng nodded with satisfaction. "I'll contact your uncles now. Although your uncles don't have much scroll talent, they've done quite well on the Spirit Master path."

...Yaoyang City, Underworld Club.

Two days ago, five Alliance Big Boss gathered Materials and visited the Underworld Club, bringing with them the Early Stage team of the Yaoyang City Alliance.

Having successfully obtained the gold scroll, they were overjoyed. Upon learning that the Underworld Club had already established an otherworldly outpost, they immediately coordinated with the association to dispatch professional personnel to help the Underworld Club open the spatial aisle to the otherworldly outpost.

Now, the Club can directly teleport to the [Netherworld] outpost.

Originally, the five Alliance Big Boss were going to return directly to the provincial capital, but after experiencing a day trip to the [Netherworld], they became obsessed and stayed there for several days, not wanting to leave.

Wu Xian was not stupid; the [Netherworld] must offer some high-level benefits to the five Big Boss.

He just wasn't sure what these specific benefits were.

"Are the Seniors still inside?" Wu Xian, who came early in the morning to inspect the progress of the network department, asked curiously to the members beside him.

"Yes, a few of us curiously followed them in to observe, but we couldn't understand what they were doing at all."

Wu Xian pondered and nodded, saying nothing more.

At the alma mater high school, two diligent and studious disciples were already in place, currently diligently studying the Yin General Scroll ideas that Wu Xian had authorized them to use at the Club.

It wouldn't be long before the two young talents could help him share his burdens.

In addition, after Wu Xian's negotiations with Shifu-jie, he successfully enticed Tang Beng, his good elder brother, to the Underworld Club.

Of course, the low-end Transformer scroll was still an industry of Tangs Vehicle, and Tang Beng mainly came to be responsible for the high-end evolved version of the Transformer scroll.

In recent days, online public opinion has escalated, with various rumors flying around.

Some people even suspected whether the Underworld Club was planning to abscond.

Online doubts and concerns grew, putting considerable pressure on the Underworld Club.

Fortunately, the gacha System was basically complete and had entered the testing phase.

Coming to the network department, under the demonstration of Director Du and others, he viewed and experienced the current gacha System. It was largely as he expected, but some details still needed refinement.

"By the way, System security must be done well; this is the top priority!" Wu Xian said solemnly.

"You can rest assured about this," Director Du said confidently. "The guys in our circle still have a certain standing. If you're not at ease, I know a few experts in network security. Do you want me to try and poach them for you?"

Wu Xian didn't hesitate for a moment. "Poach them! As long as they're talented, poach them all. Money is not an issue!"

"Alright, I'll go poach people later."

Subsequently, Wu Xian examined the source code and underlying program of the gacha System, and under the incredulous gazes of everyone, he released the God of Wealth and used a large amount of Qi to perform a series of optimizations and transformations on the code.

This way, the subsequent influence of Qi in the unseen could better act upon the gacha System.

Director Du and the others looked at the code optimized by the God of Wealth's Divine Power, each one astonished and incredulous, completely immersed... After leaving the network department, and passing through the outpost's teleportation passage, amidst spatial distortion, he had already appeared outside the Gates of Hell.

He happened to encounter Zhang Zihao and others returning with a group of Yin Souls, accompanied by neatly arrayed Yin Soldiers.

"How is the expansion of the Yin Soldier team going?" Wu Xian stepped forward and asked.

"We're just waiting for you to inspect it," Zhang Zihao and the others joked, leading the way. "It's strange, ever since coming to the outpost, my Ox-Head Underworld General seems to be getting stronger every day, and even its Spirituality value has increased slightly."

"Spirituality increase?" Wu Xian was surprised and stunned.

Only after asking other members did he discover that everyone had similar situations.

After a careful investigation, the Spirituality values of the Yin Generals of several old members had increased to varying degrees, with Zhang Zihao's Ox-Head and Horse-Face showing the most significant increase.

"Could it be that a Domain outpost of the same series also boosts the proficiency of scrolls of the same series?"

He had only recently learned the concept of "proficiency" from Xue Zhengying, and he didn't expect to witness it firsthand so soon.

Proficiency, in essence, was the increase in a scroll's Spirituality.

As mentioned before, Spirituality value is like the performance benchmark score of a scroll. The higher the Spirituality, the better the scroll's performance.

However, unlike the five-dimensional rating, [Spirituality value] is more like a value generated by the interaction between the System and hardware, and its very existence is rather metaphysical.

It's like the benchmark scores of mobile phones and computers in his previous life.

Two identical phones, with the same hardware and System, might not necessarily yield the same scores, and even the same phone might have score deviations in two separate benchmark runs.

For a Scroll Master, Spirituality value is a reflection of the Scroll Master's skill level.

For a Spirit Master user, Spirituality value is not fixed. With the generation of Soul resonance, and the accumulated understanding and camaraderie with the scroll over time, the scroll's Spirituality value can be continuously optimized and improved.

However, this improvement requires a significant amount of time to accumulate and daily, incremental refinement.
