The system prompt sounded.
Zhang Wei was stunned, a hint of joy appearing in his heart.
System upgrade?!
Was there such a hidden feature?
He hadn't expected such an unexpected surprise!
"Accumulated 1000 system points, the system has been upgraded. I wonder if I can upgrade the system again after getting another 1000 system points?" Zhang Wei thought to himself.
In his opinion.
The system prompt indicated that by accumulating 1000 system points, the system would be upgraded. This was akin to a hidden achievement, triggering an achievement reward.
Therefore, there shouldn't be only one hidden achievement. There should be other hidden achievements that could be triggered to obtain system upgrades.
Unfortunately, there were too few clues.
He couldn't deduce how to obtain future hidden achievements.
After thinking for a moment.
Zhang Wei decided to earn another 1000 system points as soon as possible to see if the system upgrade would be triggered again.
With this curiosity, one minute passed.
Instantly.
Ding! System upgrade complete.
Congratulations to the host for obtaining a new function - Synchronization.
Synchronization: The host's own body will permanently receive system point buffs. The buffed system points are synchronized with the total system points owned. Friendly reminder, buffing system points to other items by the host does not affect the synchronization buff. It is only synchronized based on the total system points owned.
Ding! System upgrade complete.
Special reward triggered.
Host obtains item - Infinite Yellow Talisman.
Infinite Yellow Talisman: The host can infinitely draw yellow talismans for ghost exorcism from their clothing pockets, drawing until they can no longer draw.
The cold system prompt sounded.
If Lu Lianxue and Lin Tong weren't nearby, Zhang Wei would have almost burst out laughing.
The system upgrade rewards were too generous.
During previous testing, Zhang Wei had been worried because his body needed system point buffs to be so strong, but his system points also needed to be used for buffing items. Unless he earned more system points, he wouldn't have enough, and they needed to be reasonably allocated to his body and items.
Now he didn't have to worry.
It was truly a case of "just as you're dozing off, a pillow arrives."
The system's new function, 'Synchronization,' perfectly solved this problem.
With the 'Synchronization' function, his body could synchronize with system points.
As for what synchronization meant.
Simply put.
For example, if Zhang Wei currently possessed 2328 system points, his body would synchronize with 2328 system points as buffs. Remember, this was a synchronization, not a consumption of 2328 points.
In other words.
Zhang Wei's 2328 system points were still available and could be used to buff other items without affecting his own synchronization. Even if he used 1000 system points to buff an item, his own body would still synchronize with 2328 system points, as synchronization was calculated based on the total system points he owned.
In this way.
Zhang Wei indirectly possessed double the system points.
Even.
He had obtained an alternative cultivation method.
He only needed to generate emotions towards ghosts to gain system points, and his own strength would increase.
After all.
Regardless of any ghost exorcist, their strength was cultivated. For example, Buddhists cultivated Buddhist studies, and Taoists cultivated various Taoist scriptures and heart sutras. For them to become stronger, it depended on talent and the Buddhist studies or Taoist scriptures they cultivated; both were indispensable.
For instance, a genius Taoist, if they cultivated ordinary Taoist scriptures, would need a year to reach the Eagle Guard level. However, if they cultivated the "Baopuzi Neipian" by the great Taoist master Ge Hong, a powerful Taoist scripture, a genius Taoist would only need half a year to reach the Eagle Guard level.
But powerful Taoist scriptures were not easily obtained; most were held by major Taoist sects.
Even disciples of Taoist sects needed talent to obtain them.
Furthermore.
Even with talent and Taoist scriptures, one had to diligently cultivate to become powerful as a ghost exorcist.
But Zhang Wei was different.
He didn't need Taoist scriptures, nor did he need talent.
As long as he accumulated enough system points, he could become powerful.
Besides the new 'Synchronization' function.
The 'Infinite Yellow Talisman' item obtained from the system upgrade was also enough to get excited about.
It was equivalent to a handgun that had infinite bullets.
However.
A handgun was used to shoot people.
Ghost exorcists fought ghosts, and infinite yellow talismans were a different kind of 'infinite bullets.'
Thinking of this.
Zhang Wei couldn't help but start imagining.
In the future, when dealing with ghosts, he would just throw yellow talismans at them frantically.
In the future, if he was short on money, he could just draw yellow talismans from his pocket to sell, a perfect portable ATM.
Lu Lianxue's voice sounded.
She waved her hand in front of Zhang Wei, interrupting his thoughts.
"Zhang Wei, what's wrong?"
Just now, she was talking to Zhang Wei, and suddenly Zhang Wei stopped talking and was spacing out. Lu Lianxue couldn't help but express her concern.
In response.
Zhang Wei grinned, "Huh? Nothing. I just thought I passed by a KFC just now and was wondering if I should buy something. I still have a KFC coupon that hasn't been used. Buy 2 original ice creams for only 9.9 yuan."
"I'm talking about serious matters. You're thinking about food over there," Lu Lianxue said, playfully hitting Zhang Wei.
"Hehe, Class Monitor, you go ahead and say it," Zhang Wei replied with a smile.
Lu Lianxue wasn't angry. She straightened her expression and said:
"I guess you didn't hear anything I said just now. I'll repeat it."
"Our ghost-catching mission this time is a bit troublesome. We need to protect five junior high school students."
"Those five junior high school students played the summoning game 'Ouija board,' and after that, strange things have been happening around them. They are suspected of summoning a ghost."
"Based on the description of the ghost by the five junior high school students, and comparing it with the recent ghost incident records in Haibin City, it should be a vengeful ghost in red."
"Because we don't know who the vengeful ghost in red will attack first, and the five junior high school students belong to five different families."
"However, fortunately, those five families live in the same residential building."
"So Captain Lin decided to have the junior high school students help. We will each live in their homes, and each of us will protect one junior high school student. If the ghost appears, we will notify each other and provide timely support."
Upon hearing this.
Zhang Wei's eyebrows twitched:
"Playing Ouija board? There are so many reckless kids these days. Instead of watching Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, they only know how to court death."
Lu Lianxue chuckled and teased:
"You can watch Baldy."
Zhang Wei shook his head, "Baldy isn't good. It's better to watch One Piece. Watching Luffy's Gum-Gum Fruit transform into the Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan Type, Model: Nika, is so exciting. It overturns twenty years of established settings on the spot, and you can never guess what setting will be changed in the next second."
As soon as he said that.
Lu Lianxue burst into laughter:
"You and your smooth talk. Alright, let's get back to business."
She took out five files, fanned them out like a deck of playing cards, and handed them to Zhang Wei:
"Here you go, as the reinforcements, you get to choose first."
Zhang Wei didn't stand on ceremony and casually drew one of the files.
Lu Lianxue then picked out a file of a female junior high school student from the remaining four files and distributed the rest to others in the car.
"Let me see which reckless kid played the Ouija board,"
Zhang Wei said, picking up the file.
