After going home for dinner, Xia Chen tended his father to bed. It was already noon and the moon was bright.
There were no lights on in the bedroom, and Xia Chen sat on the bed as he thought.
"Yesterday I only had level 2 mental power, but today I'm up to level 3! There must be some reason for this."
Xia Chen had been researching for half a day, but he hadn't gotten any results.
Spiritual power level up, level 3 to level 4 is a threshold, after reaching level 4, the brain domain has been initially developed, the brain cells and brain nerves already have a certain strength, you can take some drugs to improve spiritual power for assistance.
However, at this time, Xia Chen only has level three mental power and can only rely on meditation. If he uses drugs, his brain will likely collapse and he will become crazy.
What's more, the drugs to improve spiritual power are all very expensive, and Xia Chen simply can't afford them.
"To improve mental power, the main method before level 3 is meditation!"
Through meditation, let the spirit concentrate, the mind reach a kind of ethereal realm, absorb the energy in the universe, make the brain cells active, develop the brain field, and the spiritual power naturally improves.
When meditating, you can use some tranquilizing incense to assist, or a meditation instrument, so that the efficiency of meditation increased. But incense and meditation device is very expensive, Xia Chen can not afford to use.
Xia Chen only has a small device called "meditation meter" at hand.
The meditation meter, similar to a blood pressure meter, can measure the meditation value of the user through the blood flow rate and the expansion of blood vessels when it is clutched in the palm.
There are a total of 100 scales.
Xia Chen's meditation value usually fluctuates between 10 and 20, which is a very low level in the class, while others average around 25.
Zhang Liang can reach 40, but his talent is just moderately high, his family is relatively rich, can afford to buy incense, his achievements are piled up by the blood and sweat of his parents.
And Li Xin and Yi Kun, the pride of heaven, the original talent are high, and then assist the superior incense and advanced nimble medicine, it is said to reach 65, extremely occasional cases, can reach 70.
Above 70, every point of efficiency, the money needed to spend is a terrifying astronomical figure, except for those in the empire of the real royalty, the starfield rich, the average family will not waste too much money on this bottomless pit again.
Throughout the entire galactic empire, hundreds of billions of people, meditation efficiency above 80, absolutely no more than 10,000 people.
More than 90, no more than a hundred.
More than 95, can count with one hand.
And a hundred full points, only a theoretical value, the history of the Galactic Empire for more than a thousand years, no one has ever really reached.
"Try meditating once."
Xia Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, following the "cosmic meditation" taught in school, slowing down his breathing and gradually entering the state.
Cosmic meditation is the most common kind of meditation.
Close your eyes and imagine the universe in your brain.
The universe, dark, vast, mysterious, distant starlight shining in the unknown number of light-years away.
Xia Chen usually needs only ten minutes to enter the meditation state.
But today, Xia Chen has tossed and turned for half an hour, but his brain is a mess, like a pot of paste, I do not know why just can not enter the state of meditation.
Once he closed his eyes, what appeared in Xia Chen's mind was not the universe, but the weird crystal pyramid.
The crystal pyramid, spinning in his mind, emitted a cold light.
Unknowingly, Xia Chen felt as if he was being sucked into the interior of the crystal pyramid.
"Meditation value - 82!"
While Xia Chen meditated, the instrument worked faithfully, reporting a number that shocked him beyond belief.
Xia Chen opened his eyes violently, his entire body froze, followed by an incredible look on his face.
82 meditation value, the galactic empire's 100 billion population, if not rely on any auxiliary drugs and machinery, to reach this value, are absolutely demon level characters.
Xia Chen used to see a talk show on the internet, interviewing a meditation genius who had a meditation degree of 71 without the help of any external force.
Countless experts and scholars were shocked and said it was the most gifted genius they had ever seen in their lives, a natural talent!
And yet he only has 71!
And Xia Chen has 82 at this moment!
The difference is not simply 11, but a hundred times more.
How could Xia Chen not be excited?
He thought in his heart, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
Now, less than half a year before the entrance exam, breakthrough to level 7, not a dream!
"Could it be that crystal pyramid that is the top meditation idea?"
Xia Chen could not figure it out yet, and he grabbed the time to meditate, feeling himself floating in the crystal pyramid, like floating in his mother's body, warm and harmonious.
He could feel at this moment that there was another wonderful energy in the universe, filling the whole space, and he was in a greedy state, through the crystal pyramid, devouring this wonderful energy.
Xia Chen was enjoying the satisfaction of this satiety, very pleasant.
Spiritual power was rapidly soaring!
Ha!
The next morning, Xia Chen felt incredibly energetic, clear-headed, and full of power, a wonderful taste he had never experienced before.
Xia Chen already knew that the magical crystal pyramid, instead of disappearing, had arrived inside his mind.
What exactly the crystal pyramid was, Xia Chen did not know.
However, the apes that became the overlords of the universe have specially built research institutes to study and even worship things that are not simple.
Such a thing, absolutely must not be revealed to others, otherwise, not only Xia Chen, but even his father Xia Yu may also encounter danger.
Xia Chen decided to treat the Crystal Pyramid as his secret and bury it in his heart forever.
During the week of suspension, Xia Chen did not only take care of her father but also hid in the house to meditate.
With the meditation chart of the Crystal Pyramid, Xia Chen's meditation value was above 80 every time. With this horrible meditation efficiency, his brain cells were rapidly activated and his mental power was rapidly increased.
A week later, Xia Chen was meditating in his room as usual.
He had just entered the state when a sudden boom sounded in his mind as if a whole new world was unfolding in it, and he instantly felt that the whole world had become different.
Ta-da-da ......
It was the wild cat running lightly from the roof.
Opening my eyes, I could make out the fine lines of the cobwebs on the ceiling.
The soft, fine hairs on his clothes made his skin a little uncomfortable.
With a gentle twitch of his nose, he caught the scent of the meal next door.
"Perception is enhanced, my mental power has reached level 4!"
Xia Chen stood up expansively, his childish little face filled with joy.
Xia Chen had used only a week, and his spiritual power had leaped one level hard.
This kind of terrifying meditation speed, and is complete without the help of incense and other external forces, only in the entire Galaxy Empire is unprecedented.
If there was incense or auxiliary instruments, Xia Chen's meditation efficiency would be further accelerated, and it might only take three or four days to reach level 4 from level 3.
Level 3 to Level 4 is a threshold, after reaching Level 4, not only the perception ability is enhanced, but also the most crucial thing is to be able to take some spiritual medicine, the spiritual power cultivation speed will get a qualitative leap.
Moreover, people who have reached level 4 of mental power are able to manipulate civilian mechs and can easily find high paying jobs.
Xia Chen was able to manipulate civilian mechs at spiritual power level 2, and at this time he estimated that he was barely able to drive the military mech that was converted into a trainer mech.
But Xia Chen is not prepared to try out the mech training ground at this moment.
The taste of receiving blank stares is not pleasant.
"Since we have reached level 4, the most important thing now is to make money and buy spiritual power potions! Let the spiritual power cultivation speed soar again!"
Xia Chen looked at his empty wallet and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
"Yes, one must find a way to make money."
After the mining accident, the North Mountain mine shut down for consolidation, Xia Chen also has no way to go down to the mine to make money, the family is already even food has become a problem.
"Moreover, it takes a lot of money to heal my father's injuries."
Thinking about his father's injuries, Xia Chen's eyes reddened slightly.
Double leg amputation, in today's era of the universe, is not a big injury.
Installing mechanical simulation limbs, the hospital in Manna Star can do it, but it needs quite a lot of money, conservatively estimated at one million star coins.
A little better, with the help of cloning technology, transplanting biological limbs, would require a trip to another planet, costing at least 3 million star coins.
The best, using the latest biotechnology, so that the limb grows again, will need more money, I heard that at least 10 million star coins.
Xia Chen risked his life to work inside the mine, and he could earn only 1000 star coins a day. He did not eat or drink, work hard for three years, may be able to give his father to install a mechanical simulation of the most inferior limbs.
