Chapter 23: More Learning?
While Lin Wu was able to freely manipulate his new body, it was still a little disorienting for him to move his eyes around like that. At the start, he felt as if he had spun around too hard and then stopped making him feel as if he was still spinning.
His vision would tilt and turn, making him feel nauseous. It took Lin Wu a few minutes before he was able to fully adjust to his new physiology. It was certainly unique and looked very unusual. His eyes were not exactly material and were mere representation.
The same thing happened with Lin Wu’s mouth as he was able to move it around his body as well, albeit with more difficulty than the eyes.
‘I guess it probably more to do with how the eyes are immaterial while the mouth is an actual opening that opens up on my body wherever I want.’ Lin Wu thought.
Having played around for a bit, Lin Wu had finally got an idea about his new body.
“Now then, what should I name myself?” Lin Wu muttered in confusion.
…
…
…
…
…
An hour passed by and Lin Wu could still not decide upon his name. There were just too many things to choose from, and he wanted to ensure that he was completely sure about it. After all, he was to be the first of his kind in this world. He had to have a unique and impressive name.
“Perhaps’ I should look at the rest of the data and then decide upon it. If I know the abilities of this body, maybe I’ll have an easier time deciding on a name.” Lin Wu spoke to himself.
He then looked back at the Host data window and looked at the next section. Lin Wu noticed that he currently had plenty of spirit qi in the storage and would be enough for him to promote to the next stage of the qi refining realm.
‘I’ll get back to it later.’ Lin Wu thought to himself.
He then saw the three innate skills that were mentioned in the next section. The three skills were easy to understand from the name alone, but Lin Wu didn’t know what their actual application was.
“System, how do I know what each innate skill does?” Lin Wu questioned.
~Ding~
—————————————————————————————————
ANSWER: The host can expand upon each innate skill and it will show the information for it.
—————————————————————————————————
“Oh, that is simple.” He muttered and then returned to the other window.
Lin Wu focused on the first innate skill which was called as Radiation manipulation (minor) and saw that a second window appeared in front of him.
~Ding~
—————————————————————————————————
Innate skill: Radiation Manipulation
Skill grade: Minor
Proficiency: Basic
Description: The skill Radiation manipulation allows the host to control and manipulate small amounts of radiation. The host can control radioactive particles to influence other objects and items. The host can use it to heat up objects, corrode, and make them decay.
The host can also sense the ambient radiation in the environment and perceive it.
Note: At the host’s current Skill grade and proficiency, the host can gently heat some items. Please upgrade the skill to gain better effects.
—————————————————————————————————
Reading the description of the skill, Lin Wu was getting excited until when finally, he saw the note at the end. The note spilled water on all his plans on how to use the skill.
“So all this skill does for now is make me into a mobile microwave?” Lin Wu spoke, feeling ridiculed.
“Bahh~ Forget about this, let’s see what the other skills do.” Lin Wu muttered with frustration and focused on the next innate skill.
As soon as he looked at the next skill, a new window presented itself in front of him.
~Ding~
—————————————————————————————————
Innate Skill: Cellular Manipulation
Skill Grade: Lesser
Proficiency: Basic
Description: The host has control over its cells and can make them obey its commands. The host can change them into different parts and organs, allowing him to make them proliferate and replicate them at will. The host can regenerate injuries and heal from wounds.
Note: At the host’s current skill grade and proficiency, the host can control the position of his eyes and mouth. While the host can still regenerate his wounds using the system’s help, the regeneration done by this skill has no cost, except for the host’s own vital energy.
In order to use the regeneration ability, please raise the proficiency of the skill.
—————————————————————————————————
Lin Wu felt a little better after learning about this innate skill. While the skill was not fully activated, it still gave him a good feature. Another difference was that this skill only asked him to raise the proficiency and not the skill grade itself.
Lin Wu could tell the difference between the two words and could guess that raising the proficiency would be much easier than upgrading the overall grade of the skill. Though another question Lin Wu had was about the different grades. From what he could see, there were at least three in his list.
‘So this is the skill, which allows me to control my mouth and eyes. While it’s not at its full potential, it’s still better than being a glorified microwave.’ Lin Wu spoke to himself.
“System, what are the different skill grades and proficiencies?” Lin Wu questioned.
~Ding~
—————————————————————————————————
ANSWER: The skill grades are divided into:
1.Minor
2.Lesser
3.Great
4.Greater
5.Grand
The skill proficiencies can be divided into:
1.Basic
2.Novice
3.Intermediate
4.Expert
5.Master
——————————————————���——–———————————
It didn’t take much time for Lin Wu to understand this, and he went to the next thing that was how to upgrade the said skill grades and proficiencies.
“System, how do I upgrade the skill grades and proficiencies?” Lin Wu questioned.
~Ding~
—————————————————————————————————
ANSWER: The skill proficiency can be increased by simply using the said skill. The more the host uses, the more he will progress in the skill.
The skill grade can be upgraded by completing the quests issued by the system and also by obtaining certain items or resources. The alternative method to upgrade a skill is to reach the master level proficiency in the skill. By doing this, the host can upgrade the skill with the help of his own understanding.

“Alright, I guess I know what I will be doing next after learning about myself.” Lin Wu stated to himself.
