Chapter 380: Chapter 379 Cultivation Technique Optimization

Before going to sleep, Zhang Yanhang already had a lot of Energy Value left, and he recovered some during his sleep, plus he continually cultivated the Limitless Universe Skill during the first and second morning classes.

So, after cultivating the Limitless Universe Skill for more than two hours, Zhang Yanhang’s Energy Value had recovered to over nine hundred. It was only a few dozen points shy of the 950-point limit, which he could let recover naturally.

Although Zhang Yanhang had previously mentioned using Energy Value to manufacture Thermo-baric Bombs, he was not planning to do so right away because he felt he might have forgotten something important related to the Limitless Universe Skill.

Therefore, Zhang Yanhang decided to first deal with this matter related to the Limitless Universe Skill before starting to manufacture Thermo-baric Bombs.

"What exactly did I forget? There don’t seem to be many issues related to the Limitless Universe Skill," Zhang Yanhang lay on his bed, recalling carefully until he finally remembered what he had forgotten.

"I mentioned after my promotion to the Second Tier of the Limitless Universe Skill in the Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalagu that once I returned to the Main World, I needed to verify with the relevant department whether the Cultivation Technique I obtained was the original version or not, and if not, what the differences were."

This matter was indeed quite important, as it was well known that if one deviated in practicing a Cultivation Technique, the consequences could be quite severe—ranging from deviation to instant death.

Thus, Zhang Yanhang mainly worried that the Cultivation Technique he upgraded to with 2,100 Soul points might differ from the original version, and if this difference was just a part of the technique details being optimized, it would naturally be a good thing.

But if the difference was a result of some details being degraded, that could be troublesome since it meant his benefits from advancing the Limitless Universe Skill would always be lower than others. If that turned out to be the case, it would be quite disheartening.

Although Zhang Yanhang could potentially compensate for this disadvantage through other gains, being inherently weaker than others was something he could never accept.

"With that said, since I don’t have to attend the third and fourth morning classes, I can use this time to visit the relevant department to pick up the Second Tier part of the Limitless Universe Skill and see if there really are any discrepancies."

If the Second Tier Technique he promoted through the Ash Source turns out to be different from the official version provided by the Empire, and if it’s degraded, Zhang Yanhang thought he might need to prepare switching to a different Cultivation Technique.

Zhang Yanhang was quite familiar with the process of switching as he had done it before; he switched from a common man’s Heaven and Earth Creation Technique to the Awakeners’ exclusive Limitless Universe Skill, and thus he knew switching entails a significant loss.

He had just promoted his Limitless Universe Skill to the Second Tier LV.6, and if he switched to the official Empire version, its Level would not fall back to First Tier, but at least it would drop to LV.3 or even LV.2.

It meant that tens of thousands of Soul points he invested in the Limitless Universe Skill would essentially go to waste, representing a significant loss.

Therefore, Zhang Yanhang could only silently pray that the Limitless Universe Skill he promoted with Soul points would be consistent with the original, wishing there wouldn’t be any discrepancies.

Although theoretically, there could also be positive discrepancies, the likelihood was incredibly low, given that he promoted his Limitless Universe Skill by simply using 2,100 Soul points.

If he could have added some Ash Source, Zhang Yanhang might maintain some confidence in potential optimizations.

However, with just 2,100 Soul points alone, the chances of optimization were too low, and it even increased the likelihood of degradation.

After all, 2,100 Soul points were really insufficient compared to other Skills Promotion that typically required at least fifty thousand Soul points plus some Ash Source.

In comparison, the Soul points required for promoting the Limitless Universe Skill were roughly only one twenty-fifth of what other Skills needed, and it didn’t even require the Ash Source.

Therefore, if possible, Zhang Yanhang really wished he could have spent more Soul points and added some Ash Source during the Limitless Universe Skill’s promotion to make it more reliable.

Unfortunately, the cost of promotion was not something Zhang Yanhang could control, and even if he could, it was already too late, since he only knew Time Pause and not Time Reversal that couldn’t turn back time.

Thus, compared to the practically impossible optimization, Zhang Yanhang hoped more that the Cultivation Technique he promoted would be consistent with the official version, ensuring there was no degradation, and ensuring the tens of thousands of Soul points he invested in the Limitless Universe Skill were not wasted.

"Speaking of which, besides going to the relevant department to collect the corresponding Second Tier Technique, I can also upgrade the guaranteed minimum allowance and related welfare benefits."

Zhang Yanhang had heard about this before; it seemed like the relevant department distributed welfare benefits based on the Awakeners’ Rank, meaning the higher the Rank, the better the benefits.

Zhang Yanhang could easily understand this; after all, for ordinary Awakeners at First Tier, receiving a monthly allowance directly linked to the average salary of their city was quite a favorable deal.

But for High-level Awakened, the nearly ten thousand yuan offered as a minimum guarantee was almost optional, hardly attractive or tempting, so the relevant department tailored better welfare packages according to different Ranks.

Although Zhang Yanhang didn’t know much about what specific benefits this included due to his usual lack of attention to these matters, he knew they must be advantageous, and he planned to inquire about them in detail later from the relevant personnel, for why would he not want something that’s given for free?

"To obtain the Second Tier Cultivation Technique of the Limitless Universe Skill and the extra welfare benefits after the promotion to Second Tier, this trip is indeed necessary."
