61 Playing games can even be done in such a grand manner? (2/2)

Shi Xiaobai, who was beside them, was stunned. Gaming could actually improve the proficiency of his techniques?

Back when he checked for information regarding ‘Dominating Refinement’, he immediately ran out to cultivate his Crab Steps once he was done. He had a preconceived notion that increasing one’s skill proficiency meant constant repetition. He ended up forgetting to investigate the methods to increase proficiency. He had made a blunder!

Shi Xiaobai did some soul-searching before asking, “Can gam…virtual competition really increase one’s proficiency in techniques? What about Crab Steps? Can it be improved?”

Yang Yang and Yang Weiwei were stunned hearing this. Wasn’t it general knowledge that virtual competition could increase one’s proficiency in combat techniques?

Yang Yang was the first to come round to it. He recalled that at the Rookie Evaluation Test, Shi Xiaobai often appeared to lack the most basic knowledge, so all of that wasn’t him acting dumb?

Yang Yang immediately could not help but smile wryly. He answered, “Virtual competition can naturally improve your proficiency. It could even be said that virtual competition exists for the improvement of skill proficiency! Even a S Class combat skill can be improved in virtual battles, much less the D Class Crab Steps.”

Yang Weiwei also snapped out of her daze. She suddenly remembered Xia Lin previously exhorting them to ensure that non-customers clearly understood the importance of using virtual competition to raise their skill proficiency. Back then, she had scoffed, thinking that in an era of compulsory education, there was no one who did not possess such common knowledge. She never expected that there was really such a person. This was f*cking unscientific!

Yang Weiwei did not dare show any signs of neglect. She hurriedly added on, “Psionic Ability control and the proficiency in combat skill depends on the accumulation of memory, sensory experiences and insights. The battle arena cafe’s virtual reality is 99% realistic, so a virtual battle’s experience is as close to an actual battle, hence, the accumulation of experience in every battle is substantive. You can use such virtual battles to hone your combat skills, and it will definitely not be worse than real combat!”

How can it not be worse than real combat!?

Yang Yang immediately rolled his eyes and said to Shi Xiaobai, “Actually, the improvement in proficiency from virtual competition is inferior to real combat, but the benefits of virtual competition allows you to engage in battle for long periods of time. There is no loss in Psionic Power, so you can try again immediately even if you fail. A person with enough energy can even do 12 hours of virtual battle a day if they want, hence virtual competition is said to be tailored to the improvement of skill proficiency.”

“However, the process of using virtual competition to raise your skill proficiency is rather difficult. The effects are much more inferior to real combat. Maybe the effects of ten rounds of battle in virtual competition might be inferior to a single real combat.”

“However, virtual battles is nearly limitless. In real combat, you would have to stop due to the depletion of Psionic Power, so for ordinary people who can take the hardship, improving themselves using virtual competition is an excellent choice. However, for a genius like you, spending some time each day to engage in real battle, leaving the remaining time for Cogitation to improve your Psionic Ability realm is the best choice.”

Yang Yang sighed. Although he did not like Shi Xiaobai, he did not want to mislead him. Maybe others would attempt to destroy a person more of a genius than themselves out of jealousy, but Yang Yang wouldn’t. Although he was a normal person, he was a hardworking normal person. He was a normal person who wanted to surpass geniuses.

Yang Weiwei also sighed with exasperation. Yang Yang’s relentless rebuttal of her words made her too deep for tears, but she rejoiced over Yang Yang’s kindness and honesty, making her feel unsure of what to think.

They did not notice that Shi Xiaobai’s eyes were already glowing with an intense beam of light.

“This world sure is awesome. Playing games can even be done in such a grand manner!”

At that moment, Shi Xiaobai smiled.

Author’s Note: This part of the plot was slightly dragged out mainly because there was a need to explain the settings to push the plot smoothly forward. I’ll do some soul-searching, and will try my best to make these setting-explanation chapters seem more interesting. Of course, once everything is set in place, the climax of the arc will definitely send you flying sky high. For this, Me has confidence!
