Feasibility of Mermaids Infiltrating Qilin

Slightly out of breath, he sheathed his sword. Behind him, the simulated enemy's head rolled to the ground, and the simulated enemy's body slowly fell down, quickly dissipating into a pile of data particles.

Zhang Shenglin wiped the sweat from his forehead, his eyes still brimming with the excitement of the intense battle.

"The little Qilin is amazing! It's even stronger than before! It's truly incredible!"

Su Xingze's eyes were filled with Zhang Shenglin's artistic performance, and he clapped his hands wildly.

After several months apart, Zhang Shenglin's mastery of swordsmanship has improved even further.

Under Su Xingze's uncompromising praise, Zhang Shenglin pursed his lips, his ears turned slightly red, but he maintained a calm demeanor on the surface.

But soon, his expression became confused.

"I've been having some problems with my training lately."

"A problem?" Su Xingze circled around him once. "What problem?"

Zhang Shenglin hesitated for a moment: "I feel like I've entered a special state, like I've vaguely touched something, but it's not very clear."

He used to be able to clearly feel himself improving during training, but now he always feels awkward when he trains every day, as if something is hindering him.

As Su Xingze listened to the little Qilin's description of the problem, he began searching through the system's database and quickly found the crux of the problem.

Su Xingze closed the database, his eyes shining as he looked at Zhang Shenglin, his voice rising with joy: "Congratulations, little Qilin, you've hit a bottleneck. Once you break through that bottleneck, your swordsmanship will reach a higher level."

"We can begin preparing for the breakthrough trial."

Su Xingze was genuinely happy, as breaking through to the Specialization level was different from the previous Proficiency level.

To reach the previous levels of mastery, you only need to learn step by step. With a bit of talent, effort, and enough time, you can eventually reach mastery.

Starting from specialization, there is always a hurdle before breaking through. This hurdle has blocked countless brilliant geniuses, and only by breaking through it can one truly break through the limits.

The learning system is powerful because it can generate breakthrough assessments unique to the bound user, helping them break through bottlenecks by completing the trials.

Furthermore, once a skill reaches a certain level of mastery, the system will not only reward players with points each time they break through to a new level, but will also grant them various exclusive rewards.

For example, the reward for mastering planting is a portable farm, and each breakthrough will upgrade the portable farm based on the original one.

After reaching the Grandmaster level, your personal farmland will be upgraded into a small planting world.

Su Xingze had been eyeing the miniature worlds in the mall for a long time, but they were too expensive. Even at his richest, he couldn't afford even one percent of the money.

Later, it was unexpectedly discovered that the rewards from both planting and animal husbandry skills could be upgraded to small worlds, and if both could be upgraded to the top level, they could be combined into a small spirit world.

With the idea of ​​getting something for free, he coaxed the little Qilin into taking these two courses, hoping that one day he could obtain a small world for free.

With his own little world, he could buy spirit plant seedlings and spirit beast cubs from the system to grow and raise them. Unlike the expensive finished products, the seedlings and cubs were quite cheap in the mall.

The cultivation and bloodline enhancement of the little Qilin become increasingly difficult as it progresses, and the resources required become increasingly scarce, with many resources even being unavailable in this world.

His energy is limited, and the points he can earn each day are also limited.

This world is resource-poor, so relying on the mall is not as good as producing and selling your own products. You can sell any leftovers to the mall for points.

Su Xingze had high hopes, but Little Qilin's two courses were only just beginning, and there was still a long way to go before he could obtain a portable farmland.

The most important thing now is to break through the bottleneck.

"Let me see. Your swordsmanship and lightness skills are ready to be upgraded to mastery. Since the progress of both is about the same, we can conduct a combined assessment. I will now generate a trial task for you."

The trial mission requires traveling to other worlds to complete the test. The trial process will be dangerous, but as the little Qilin's 'system', Su Xingze will always stay by the little Qilin's side. If there is any fatal danger, he can interrupt the test at any time.

Merging the assessments will increase the difficulty of the trial tasks, but will not exceed the examinee's ability limit, and the final rewards are quite generous.

Zhang Shenglin could also view this information, and he understood the dangers of the combined assessment, but he was not afraid of the potential dangers.

He possesses the qualities of a strong person: confidence, composure, decisiveness, and fearlessness in the face of danger.

The trial tasks were generated very quickly. According to Zhang Shenglin's data, the system generated a total of six trial tasks, and they only needed to choose one of them to complete.

These missions include tracking down and killing evil cultivators, fighting alien races in interstellar battlefields, and dealing with the evil phenomena that have emerged from the martial arts dynasty.

These are all missions that look incredibly dangerous.

Su Xingze arranged the generated tasks in front of the little Qilin and let it choose: "Pick one you like."

Zhang Shenglin pondered for a while after looking at the six tasks, and quickly selected one of them.

"Is this all? It looks pretty good."

Once a trial task is selected, the assessment will not begin immediately. The system will provide a three-month buffer period to allow the assessor to handle their own affairs.

In the assessment world, time in their own world does not stop, but the time ratio is different from that in different assessment worlds. In most assessment worlds, time passes relatively quickly.

The countdown to the trial mission began to tick, and as the time dwindled, Su Xingze began to look forward to the new world.

"We need to get rid of Zhang Haike within a month."

Little Qilin will be returning to the Zhang family at the end of the year. They don't have much time to waste, and no one knows how long they will spend in the trial world.

Zhang Shenglin nodded. He would find a suitable ancient tomb as soon as possible to complete the release, and then enter the assessment world with the little mermaid.

The assessment was temporarily concluded, and today's training ended. The two left the study space together.

Zhang Shenglin still remembered Zhang Haike's invitation to go to the theater, and the little mermaid was also thinking about the delicious food that the theater would provide. Almost as soon as the sky was dyed red by the sunset, he started urging them to hurry up.

The Lin residence is very large, and when you leave the guest courtyard, you will inevitably pass through a courtyard that connects to the back courtyard.

As Zhang Shenglin passed by, a pale-faced maid rushed out from the backyard. Zhang Shenglin reacted quickly and dodged before she could reach him. The maid didn't even realize she had almost bumped into someone.

When she saw Zhang Shenglin, her eyes, red and swollen from crying, drooped. She greeted him politely and then quickly left.

Zhang Shenglin watched her leave, his dark eyes remaining calm and indifferent.

As the maid brushed past him, he smelled a strong odor of blood emanating from her; it was definitely not the kind of bleeding that would come from a small wound.

"You care a lot?" Zhang Shenglin's expression didn't change much, but he noticed the little Qilin's slight unusual expression.

Su Xingze was also very sensitive to the smell of blood, but he didn't care about anything other than the little Qilin, and he wasn't curious about the smell of blood on the maid.

Zhang Shenglin lowered his eyes: "A little, but she's probably going to see Master Lin. Let's go."

The maid had just cried and might have been injured, but her expression wasn't panicked or frightened; she just looked somewhat confused.

This is the Lin residence. With Master Lin here, the maid couldn't possibly ask them for help.

The two left the Lin residence together.

The opera house is located on the west side of the town, and it runs through one of the town's main streets.

People in this era have very few forms of entertainment, and for most people, watching plays is the biggest form of entertainment.

The news that Master Lin had invited the most famous opera troupe from Hangzhou spread throughout the town.

This time, Master Lin was celebrating his wife's recovery from illness, so he had already spread the word that anyone who wanted to watch the opera troupe's performance could come and watch, and no one would be stopped outside the opera house.

Along the way, Zhang Shenglin and his companion encountered many people who were also heading to the theater. These people had joyful expressions and chatted about old stories about Master Lin and his wife as they walked.

Zhang Shenglin had the same destination as them and was also forced to listen to a lot of gossip about Master Lin.
