Chapter 671: Enhancing Abilities

  "Reward task, can you be more specific!"

  Zhang Yang's eyebrows jumped slightly, his eyes still closed, and in his heart, he was still communicating with the Holy Hand system.

  "Reward tasks are purely reward-oriented tasks that have either already been completed or are extremely easy to complete, and can also be considered a kind of upgraded reward, but what specific rewards you get still depends on luck!"

  Zhang Yang thought to himself: "These things, why didn't you tell me before?"

  "It's because you didn't ask, and reward tasks will only appear after leveling up, so I didn't mention it before!"

  "Alright, let's just forget I asked, aside from the reward mission, are there any other benefits?"

  Zhang Yang asked again, this time he was determined to ask clearly and cleanly. This system always gave him the feeling that it was too smart, and there were still things hidden from him.

  "Yes, after upgrading, there will be rewards for ability values, which can freely increase existing abilities!"

  The mechanical female voice replied again. Zhang Yang was slightly stunned this time and opened his eyes, and the answer was also beyond his expectation.

  When his eyes opened, he directly saw a virtual green main screen floating in mid-air.

  "After some thought, Zhang Yang asked again: 'Can those ability values be added to the two categories in the ability column?'"

  "Yes, ability values can only be increased when leveling up, except for tasks above level 4. The amount of increase varies depending on the level upgraded."

  "This time with the upgrade, how many points of ability value can be increased?"

  Zhang Yang opened the ability column option and unexpectedly found that his Zhang family qigong had already reached a value of 25 points. He could clearly remember that the last time he opened it, this number was still 23.

  Another ability is Chinese medicine technique, still with a value of 38.

  "When upgrading to level 2, you can increase two points of free ability value!"

  "There are only two points, isn't that too little!"

  Zhang Yang was slightly disappointed, his ancestral qigong had exhausted its internal energy when it last helped someone recover from an illness, and although he felt a slight increase in power when it recovered this time, the increase wasn't much. Now that he thought about it, these increases were already reflected in the system.

  Even if he increased his two points of free ability value and put them all on 'Zhang Family Qigong', it would be about the same as the current growth, which made him slightly disappointed.

  "Every little bit counts, and every upgrade will have some. If you complete more tasks above level 4, your ability value can be increased again. At that time, you may become twice as strong as you are now!" The mechanical female voice said again.

  "Don't mention tasks to me, by the way, after upgrading, are there any mandatory tasks?"

  Zhang Yang quickly thought of a response and asked another question he was concerned about, worried that one day the system would go crazy and arrange several tasks for him to complete, which would exhaust him to death.

  It's not impossible, he had seen similar situations before.

  "No, Saint Hand System Level 2, no compulsory tasks at all!"

  The mechanical female voice made Zhang Yang's heart slightly more at ease. On the whole, upgrading wasn't bad and had many benefits. After upgrading, he wouldn't be affected in any way.

  "This system downtime has only three minutes left, please make a decision as soon as possible, host, whether to upgrade or not."

  The mechanical female voice rang out again, and Zhang Yang already understood that this Holy Hand system was of a very low level, unable to be summoned at will. If it weren't for completing the 'Crisis of Muxue' task this time, the system wouldn't have appeared in front of him either.

  The last three minutes should not be fake, the previous system also had a time limit.

  "Alright, I level up!"

  After thinking for more than two minutes and careful consideration, Zhang Yang nodded secretly, at least this time he didn't feel any harm from the upgrade, in that case, upgrading was no problem, after all, he could still open the database, as for the things inside, Zhang Yang had wanted to see them for a long time.

  "Host decides to upgrade, currently free index is evenly distributed for upgrade, system is automatically distributing..."

  The mechanical female voice echoed slowly, and Zhang Yang somehow felt that the voice had a pleasant tone, as if he had chosen to upgrade, and the system was very happy.

  This feeling is strange, but it really exists, making Zhang Yang feel inexplicably puzzled in his heart.

  But by this time it's too late to regret, the green virtual screen has already appeared with an upgrade progress bar and a message that says "upgrade in progress, do not disturb".

  The entire upgrade process took only one minute. One minute later, the original green virtual screen reappeared. The difference was that four of the five sub-frames on this screen were flashing, while only the pet column remained dim.

  For this scene, Zhang Yang was no longer unfamiliar with it, and he directly opened the ability column.

  As expected, the number in the free attribute column changed from zero to two, and he really increased his free ability value by two points.

  Without hesitation, Zhang Yang directly added the two ability values to 'Zhang Family Qigong'. As soon as the two points were added, Zhang Yang felt a warm and cozy heat flow on his body. The heat flow appeared quickly and disappeared just as quickly.

  However, after the heat flow disappeared, Zhang Yang had an inexplicable feeling of comfort. He also clearly felt that his internal energy seemed to have increased a bit. What the system said earlier was indeed correct, and the numbers inside were relatively consistent with reality.

  "It's okay, you didn't cheat me!"

  Zhang Yang's mouth gradually curled up with a hint of a smile, the increase in ability value was what attracted him to upgrade the most. What he lacked now was the inadequacy of his ancestral qigong, his power being half less than before, making many things feel very unsmooth.

  It's like someone originally had a very long arm, and suddenly it was shortened by half. Of course, it would feel uncomfortable to use, the decrease in internal strength is not as severe as when the hand is shortened, but the feeling is the same.

  Exiting the ability column, outside the main page was flashing with bright light, and there were still three columns left. Zhang Yang's attention focused on the data column.

  He had just opened the file and hadn't carefully read the contents when he turned his head to one side.

  "Zhang Yang, is everything okay with you guys?"

  Two people rushed into the ward, Zhu Zhi-xiang and Wu You-dao both arrived, and it was Zhu Zhi-xiang who spoke.

  The two walked in and went straight to the bedside. First, they looked at Mi Xue who was sleeping soundly on the bed, then glanced at Zhang Yang.

  The two men looked at Zhang Yang with different eyes.

  Wu Youdao was surprised, and also a bit puzzled. Zhu Zhixiang's eyes were more surprised, and also had some unexpectedness. However, when he received Director Li's phone call today, he really got a fright, thinking that Zhang Yang had been in a car accident.

  It wasn't until later that I found out it was Zhang Yang's girlfriend who had an accident, and it seemed to be very urgent. Zhang Yang wanted to borrow the operating room and perform the surgery himself.

  Director Li's intention was to agree, and Zhu Zhi-xiang hesitated for a moment before also temporarily agreeing. However, he also reminded Director Li that he must help Zhang Yang properly and absolutely cannot let anything go wrong with this surgery. After hanging up the phone, he rushed to the hospital. Before coming, he didn't forget to notify Wu You-dao, as he knew Wu You-dao was the person who appreciated Zhang Yang the most.

  He and Wu Youdao arrived at the hospital almost simultaneously, when Zhang Yang had just finished his surgery. They didn't immediately come to find Zhang Yang, but instead made some inquiries about Director Li in the office.

  And this time's inquiry result was also completely beyond the two people's expectation.
