Chapter 156: Bug System

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After entering the gathering place, Lu Ming went straight home.

Because he was very tired.

The weariness brought about by dealing with one after another, from the young to the old, was one thing, and the physical exhaustion was another.

The consumption of the Extreme State was indeed not small.

The consumption of the mystery factor was one aspect—this aspect could be replenished with breathing technique.

However, the important part was the physical exertion, which was unbelievably high!

Lu Ming was a physical powerhouse, but he estimated that he could only maintain the Extreme State for about ten minutes.

It was already midnight, and after Lu Ming washed up, he went to bed.

Just as he lay on the bed, a sudden thought struck him.

Once the thought emerged, it could not be suppressed.

After some consideration, Lu Ming suddenly got up and went outside.

In the distance, Velo and Fala were still immersed in the spectacle that Lu Ming had put on just now.

When they saw Lu Ming returning home, Velo could not help but sigh deeply.

What should he do?

His thoughts were good—to make a brilliant appearance when this generation’s tribulation transcenders were severely injured and resolve the crisis. He would become the savior of this generation’s tribulation transcenders and gain a favorable impression.

But in the first attempt, Lu Ming had torn down the stage.

This was the second attempt.

He wanted to attack, but Lu Ming also did not give him the opportunity.

Moreover, Velo could not help but notice a fact—he had no more opportunities to save people in peril from now on.

Lu Ming was stronger than him, and the opponents Lu Ming could not beat were even more out of his league…

What was there to save?

“No, I need to change my approach.”

As he was having this thought, he suddenly saw Lu Ming walking out of his house and standing in the open space nearby, assuming the starting posture of the Knight Body Forging Technique.

“Still practicing?”

“You’re practicing this late!?”

Crazy!

This guy is really crazy!

Lu Ming did not notice that Velo was peeping.

He just wanted to verify what he had just thought of.

Something…related to a bug in the system!

First was the Conventional State.

He cultivated the Knight Body Forging Technique in his Conventional State.

During the training, Lu Ming tested if he had the ability to deform his body in his Conventional State. The answer was yes, but it was not strong.

Under the Conventional State, he could simply adjust his height, but he could not grow more limbs or organs.

Half an hour passed. The proficiency of the Knight Body Forging Technique increased by 1, and all attributes increased by 2.

Then, Lu Ming activated his Explosive State again!

In the Explosive State, Lu Ming’s three-dimensional attributes were:

Strength: 30138.8

Physique: 30138.4

Agility: 30174.8

The five-meter-tall giant practiced the Knight Body Forging Technique again.

During this period, Lu Ming verified the ability to deform his body in the Explosive State. The result remained the same—he still could not grow more limbs.

From the looks of it, the Four-eyed Six-armed state should be exclusive to the Extreme State.

However, this was not important.

Half an hour later, Lu Ming completed a round of practicing the Knight Body Forging Technique in the Explosive State.

In the Explosive State, Lu Ming’s three-dimensional attributes became:

Strength: 30140.8

Physique: 30140.4

Agility: 30176.8

He took a deep breath.

Lu Ming deactivated his Explosive State and returned to his Conventional State.

Looking at his attribute panel again, Lu Ming could not help but be stunned.

Strength: 15070.4

Physique: 15070.2

Agility: 15088.4

Free Attribute Points: 4

Compared to before, the Knight Body Forging Technique only increased Lu Ming’s three-dimensional attributes by 1 point and provided 2 free attribute points.

The increase in free attribute points remained unchanged.

However, there was a double reduction in the acquisition of three-dimensional attributes!

Lu Ming was not disappointed.

Instead, a sense of excitement surged within him!

“Body Self-Limitation.” “Body Self-Limitation.”

“I was wondering why this thing was designated by the system as a Body

Self-Limitation! So this is the true purpose of this superpower!”

As he muttered, Lu Ming activated another form.

It was a form that seemed utterly meaningless!

Self-limitation State!

Amid the cracking and popping of his bones, Lu Ming’s height quickly shrank, soon reaching around 1.8 meters.

After a simple adaptation, Lu Ming was quite satisfied with himself in his Self-Limitation State.

“My strength is significantly reduced, but my height is still manageable.”

This was because before the apocalypse, Lu Ming’s height was like this—his physique in the Self-Limitation State was not much different from before the apocalypse.

After a few simple exercises, Lu Ming began to cultivate the Knight Body Forging Technique again.

At the same time, he opened his attribute panel and looked at his three-dimensional attributes.

Strength: 7535-2

Physique: 7535.1

Agility: 7544-2

Free Attribute Points: 4

After half an hour, the proficiency of the Knight Body Forging Technique increased by 1 again!

Lu Ming’s three-dimensional form in the Self-Limitation State change to:

Strength: 7537-2

Physique: 7537.1

Agility: 754462

Free Attribute Points: 6

“Next, it’s time to witness a miracle!”

With this roar, Lu Ming changed his form again!

Conventional State!

His physique instantly reverted to its usual appearance, and his attributes changed once again!

Strength: 15074.4

Physique: 15074.2

Agility: 15092.4

“As expected!”

“This Self-Limitation State is specially used to farm attributes!”

In the Self-Limitation State, all of Lu Ming’s attributes were halved.

However, in the Self-Limitation State, the attributes Lu Ming obtained through daily training or skills were not halved. Instead, they were obtained in full!

This led to a result.

The attribute points Lu Ming obtained in the Self-Limitation State were twice that of the Conventional state!

Lu Ming was not sure if this could be considered a system bug.

But whether it was a bug or not did not matter; what mattered was that Lu Ming had discovered this trick. With this knowledge, he could double the speed at which he gained attributes. That was enough!

Satisfied, Lu Ming went home to sleep.

Until the next morning.

During breakfast, Zhang Chengcheng and Wei Lan were surprised to find that Brother Lu’s physique had shrunk.

He was 1.8 meters tall and had ordinary yet pleasant features.

Compared to his previous height of over three meters, this version of Lu Ming was much less domineering, but he was more approachable. However, Lu Ming knew that this sense of approachability came mostly from his mood.

With the bug in his favor, he was overjoyed!

After a hasty breakfast, Lu Ming immediately began his daily exercise routine.

An hour later, his attributes under the Self-Limitation State increased by 43.

This was equivalent to 86 in the Conventional State!

This led Lu Ming to make a decision—he must use the Self-Limitation State to boost attributes in the future.

Moreover, Lu Ming’s daily routine was all about farming attributes.

This also meant that the Self-Limitation State would become his norm in the future.

After a short rest, Lu Ming began to cultivate the Knight Body Forging Technique.

As he practiced, he contemplated.

It seems i didn’t really lose out too much..”

“Yesterday, I upgraded from the Mortal Realm Level 1 to Level 2, but I gained an additional Body Limitation ability.”

“The Self-Limitation State of my Body Limitation superpower can lower my attributes, allowing me to still gain attribute points through daily exercise.”

“Plus, I’ve got a bug going for me, so it doesn’t seem like I’ve overdrawn my potential that much.”

At Level 1, Lu Ming would farm one attribute point, but at Level 2, he would gain 2 points.

This was the so-called overdraft potential.

Now, because Lu Ming had found a system bug that caused him to gain 1 attribute point in his Self-Limitation State. It was still equivalent to 2 points in the Conventional State.

He had reestablished a balance of sorts…

But even so…

“The Black Feather Tribe has indeed caused disruption with my daily life!”

“There’s also the threat! They will seek revenge in the future! They are a threat!!”

Thinking of the Black Feather Tribe once again threw Lu Ming’s emotions into disarray…

He could only channel his anger into his training.

“Just you wait!”

“When my attributes exceed 100,000 in my Self-Limitation State, I’ll pluck all your feathers!”
