Shi Xiaobai used Crab Steps and looked back three times with every step. Just as he was about to walk out of the street, he suddenly stopped. He turned around and pointed at a huge building. He said coldly, "Game arcade, you can't tempt This King!"
After saying that, Shi Xiaobai's throat trembled a few times. His eyes flickered with intense desire as he uncontrollably took a few steps towards the building.
"What a powerful enchantment spell. How can it be cultivated? The Heart of the King actually trembled by 0.3000mm."
Shi Xiaobai gritted his teeth and hurriedly turned around to not look at the building with the "Virtual Competition Battle Arena Cafe" signboard. His shoulders trembled slightly as he said hatefully, "Damn it, if This King wasn't busy, This King would definitely fight you for three hundred rounds."
Shi Xiaobai struggled in his heart before he finally let out a long sigh. "Darn Absolute Choice. Is this your true goal?"
.....
Now, Shi Xiaobai hated the "Absolute Choice" to the extreme. Last night, the Absolute Choice had caused Kali to become his girlfriend, and this morning, a new Absolute Choice had appeared when he woke up.
[Choice 1: Within seven days, raise your movement technique, "Crab Steps", to the "Dominating Refinement" realm (B-level reward)]
[Choice 2: Within seven days, raise Psionic Ability defensive skill, "Wavelet Shield", to the "Familiarized Proficiency" realm (E-level reward)]
(Gentle Reminder: This choice is a "daily choice". There is only one chance after choosing it. Successful completion of the choice's mission will result in a reward. Failure will result in a punishment of the same level.)
When Shi Xiaobai heard the words "make your choice, youth" while brushing his teeth, his heart nearly collapsed. However, when he saw the content of the choice, he heaved a sigh of relief. He was somewhat thankful that the choice was a daily choice.
After summarizing the Absolute Choices that had appeared so far, Shi Xiaobai roughly understood that there were three types of Absolute Choices.
The first was the unknown choice that appeared when he saved Little Fatso. This type of Absolute Choice actually reflected the choices Shi Xiaobai had made back then. Save, escape or watch from the sidelines. However, after the Absolute Choice appeared, Shi Xiaobai had to complete his choice to end the cycle of time.
Choices that followed one's beliefs and beliefs were often the hardest to complete, such as saving Little Fatso. As for the choice to abandon oneself, it was easy to do, such as escaping. The Absolute Choice would make you suffer defeat time and time again, making you choose again and again. It was to force you to give up on your initial beliefs, changing your original choice and submitting to the darkness in your heart.
Therefore, Shi Xiaobai was most afraid of the Absolute Choice, but thankfully, it had only appeared once.
As for the second Absolute Choice, it was the mischievous Absolute Choice. Be it shooting blindly with one's eyes closed during the rookie test, asking Hisith for his underwear or first kiss, or mocking or confessing to Kali, they were all such choices. The biggest difference between the mischievous option and the unknown option was that the unknown option was difficult to complete, while the mischievous option was difficult to choose.
The mischief option belonged to the execution-type option. It was only necessary to do one thing, and the difficulty of completing it was actually not high, so there was usually no reward. However, this kind of choice was very difficult to make. The content of the choice usually made people want to curse out loud, making people feel sad and indignant that "I choose death".
These two choices could be said to be extremely toxic. Compared to them, the third type of Absolute Choice was like a bowl of chicken soup.
The Heavens had taken pity on him. The daily-type choice did not have a samsara mechanism. There was only one choice, and the outcome was only success or failure. The content of the choice was rather normal, and the rewards were extremely generous. It was like a warm spring breeze in a cold winter!
Previously, Shi Xiaobai had easily earned a hundred thousand in cash from the daily-type choice. After obtaining the D-level reward, he had immediately gained "Grasped Basics" of Crab Steps. He felt a sense of accomplishment from completing a storyline mission in a game and obtaining a mission reward.
Therefore, when the Absolute Choice appeared this time, Shi Xiaobai hesitated for a few seconds. Comparing the huge difference between a B-level reward and an E-level reward, he ignored the warning that failure would result in a punishment of the same level, and resolutely chose the first choice.
In seven days, he had to raise "Crab Steps" to the "Dominating Refinement" realm!
However, when Shi Xiaobai used Pear's computer to go online to check what the "Dominating Refinement" realm was, he was immediately dumbfounded.
The proficiency of offensive skills, defensive skills and movement techniques was usually split into seven major realms — Grasped Basics, Familiarized Proficiency, Exemplary Mastery, Dominating Refinement, Crest of Perfection, World of Difference, Transcendence.
The difficulty of raising one's realm increased by several times. If one took a year to go from Grasped Basics to Familiarized Proficiency, then it might not even be possible to go from Familiarized Proficiency to Exemplary Mastery in three to five years, much less Dominating Refinement or Crest of Perfection. Not only did it require an extremely long period of accumulation and extraordinary insight, it also required a heaven-defying epiphany to achieve it.
After Shi Xiaobai checked the keywords "Dominating Refinement", several news articles immediately appeared. They were all "So-and-so used seven months to cultivate so-and-so's offensive skill to the Dominating Refinement realm. It can be called a human miracle!"
Alright, seven months was already considered a miracle.
Then, wasn't it lunatic's ravings to cultivate Crab Steps to the Dominating Refinement realm in seven days?
"If miracles don't work, This King will create a miracle!"
Shi Xiaobai spent thirty seconds to regain his confidence. After tidying up a little, he immediately left the house and went straight for the steel road to begin his arduous Crab Steps cultivation.
Since the Dominating Refinement realm referred to the proficiency of a technique, the most direct method was to repeat it over and over again. Constantly, without stopping, and without any regard for his life, he repeatedly used Crab Steps!
With this thought in mind, Shi Xiaobai began his King's plan of touring Steel City with Crab Steps.
"Sleep, rest, take a breather. All laziness can die. This King who is diligent will let all of you see what a miracle is!"
Shi Xiaobai had a tiger in his heart, so he was fearless.
The desire for strength was not empty grumbling. It had to be done through persistent and genuine hard work.
Even if he was exhausted, even if he was mentally and physically exhausted, even if he wanted to stop, he had to persist for a second, another second, and another step.
Sleep? A short nap would do!
Eat and drink? It could be done while running with Crab Steps!
Rookie training? So what if he skipped seven days!?
Shi Xiaobai constantly hypnotized himself as he circled Steel City with Crab Steps the entire morning. Then, he saw a building. The building's front door was wide open, with people entering and exiting from time to time. All sorts of gorgeous CG posters were plastered on the walls, and a signboard with the words "Virtual Competition Battle Arena Cafe" was hung high above the door.
Isn't this … a game arcade?
Shi Xiaobai recalled the game arcade that Pear had previously introduced. Wasn't this the place?
"Go in and play for a while? Just for a while? "
Shi Xiaobai's faith wavered at this moment.
"No, no way. In order to create a miracle, This King cannot be so lazy!"
Shi Xiaobai finally felt the deep malice of the daily-style option. This difficult choice sure was excruciatingly difficult.
Shi Xiaobai turned his head back thrice with every step and reluctantly walked past the game arcade. He was constantly struggling in his heart, so he could not help but slow down his Crab Steps. After a long while, he walked out of the street.
"The devil of laziness is ultimately unable to defeat the diligent This King. The game arcade's charm magic is still lacking. Ha … Ha … Ha!"
Shi Xiaobai's smile was uglier than crying. He used Crab Steps on the spot and turned his head to look at the corner of the street. As long as he made a slight turn, he would see the game arcade once again. As long as he turned his body slightly, there would be another choice.
Shi Xiaobai could not make a turn, nor could he turn his body, but he quietly waited. He did not know what he was waiting for. Maybe he was waiting for the last sliver of laziness in his heart to vanish?
At this moment, from the other side of the corner, there was a sudden panting shout.
"Wait, Crab Youth!"
