I Know All Negative Effects of Entries in Instances-Chapter 409 - 279: Progress Bar Growth_2

Another thing, if one wants to improve their cultivation speed, it really depends on how much each person reads, then Zhou Yingting is only wasting his own time.

Zhou Yingting didn’t pay attention to others’ thoughts. After searching the bookshelf for a moment, he found several books that were suggested to him.

Upon seeing these books, Zhou Yingting calmly took them into his hands.

After Zhou Yingting finished browsing all the bookshelves, he noticed that many people were already lying down to rest. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Song Qingyun saw Zhou Yingting returning with quite a few books and looked at Zhou Yingting with some confusion.

"Why did you bring so many books back at once?"

The others heard this and instinctively glanced at Zhou Yingting.

"Getting ready for sleep and using some books as cushions for more comfortable rest."

Zhou Yingting replied casually upon hearing this.

Song Qingyun was momentarily taken aback by the words but didn’t find anything wrong with them.

After thinking for a moment, he also got up and went to the bookshelf, taking some books to cushion under his head as a pillow.

To avoid drawing attention from others, Zhou Yingting didn’t immediately open the books to read but instead placed them underneath as he lay down to sleep.

......

The next day.

Zhou Yingting woke up amidst a commotion, and upon waking, he saw Wu Song and a few others gathered together, holding books while discussing something.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yingting immediately sat up and quickly glanced at the books he had chosen last night, and was relieved to find none were missing.

Zhou Yingting then casually picked up a book and began eating while casually flipping through it.

According to the hints from the Golden Finger, Zhou Yingting focused on the Chapters he needed to read, reviewing them repeatedly.

Song Qingyun also took a seat beside Zhou Yingting with a book, glanced casually at Zhou Yingting’s book, and then focused on his own book.

Then, Song Qingyun curiously asked, "Can you understand the content in this book?"

Zhou Yingting shook his head and then gave Song Qingyun a curious look. "Can you understand it?"

The hint didn’t mention needing to understand this.

Song Qingyun instinctively glanced at his own book upon hearing this, then shook his head helplessly and said, "How can anyone understand this? Even the cultivation technique outside, I can’t understand it."

"Luckily, as we read, the cultivation technique turns into entries on our attribute panel, otherwise we’d have no idea how to learn it."

"Let alone, we simply can’t understand it."

If they were to learn and cultivate it, at least it would require them to be able to understand it.

But the problem is, they still can’t understand it, which makes it quite troublesome.

Zhou Yingting nodded in agreement. "So, apparently we don’t need to understand it to proceed."

"Otherwise, how could we possibly study tens of thousands of books thoroughly?"

Zhou Yingting had seen the hints, so he knew there wasn’t a need to fully understand it, making his answer seem quite natural.

Song Qingyun listened to Zhou Yingting’s words and thought they made sense.

"But if we can’t understand it, how can we determine whether we’ve read these books, does it automatically register our every word in our attribute panel?"

Song Qingyun said, looking down at his book, still puzzled.

He didn’t quite understand since they couldn’t comprehend the books, how does it determine they’ve read them and accelerate their progress?

If reading them truly could speed up their progress.

Zhou Yingting was equally puzzled by this question.

Right, how does it distinguish whether they’ve read these books?

If it’s based on whether they’ve learned them, after reading, they couldn’t comprehend the book’s content, only knowing they’d read it.

Could it really be that simple?

"Maybe it’s like a key? Previously, we tried reading the cultivation technique, and if we skim through it, we can’t increase the progress bar."

"So even if we don’t understand these books, at least we need to focus on them and have a general impression in our mind."

Zhou Yingting said to this, and Song Qingyun felt it made some sense after thinking about it.

If that’s the case, then he’ll need to be more attentive when reading these books.

Thinking of this, Song Qingyun stopped talking and focused on his reading.

Seeing that Song Qingyun wasn’t disturbing him anymore, Zhou Yingting also concentrated on the book in his hands.

Following the instructions, Zhou Yingting found several Chapters he needed to remember, examined them carefully, and reviewed them repeatedly.

Once he felt he had mostly memorized them, Zhou Yingting looked up to ensure no one was paying attention before standing and heading outside the cave.

Upon reaching the entrance, Zhou Yingting found quite a few people already seated outside.

It seemed he had been so absorbed in his reading earlier that he hadn’t noticed their movements.

These people appeared to be comparing what they read with the cultivation techniques on the wall while reading their books.

Some believed the cultivation technique on the wall might share similarities with some book content.

If they could find corresponding content, perhaps it would improve their progress bar.

Observing this, Zhou Yingting didn’t interrupt anyone, choosing to sit quietly and start focusing intently on the cultivation technique on the opposite wall.

Soon, Zhou Yingting finished his first round of reading.

As Zhou Yingting lowered his gaze, his expression turned joyful.

On his attribute panel, the progress bar showed changes.

The original two parts out of ten thousand shifted to three parts out of ten thousand.

"The progress bar increased so quickly!?"

Zhou Yingting examined his attribute panel again to confirm he hadn’t mistaken the decimal places after the point.

Yesterday, even after reading for over ten hours, his progress only increased by one part out of ten thousand.

Such prolonged effort made Zhou Yingting feel very weary.

Yet today, after one round of reading, the progress bar became one part out of a thousand!

In this way, he should be able to activate this entry in a short time.

With this in mind, Zhou Yingting’s eyes gleamed with joy, then continued to intensely study the cultivation technique on the wall.

This time, after Zhou Yingting finished reading, the progress bar didn’t move.

After contemplating the situation, Zhou Yingting went back to reading those Chapters in his hand again, and once completed, looked up once more at the cultivation technique.

This time, after Zhou Yingting finished reading, his progress bar moved again, reaching two parts out of a thousand.

Although it didn’t seem significant, it was like heaven and earth compared to yesterday!

Having found the technique’s secret, Zhou Yingting promptly started repeating the process, reading the book and then focusing on the cultivation technique on the wall.

After linking up the Chapters of several books, when examining the cultivation technique on the opposite wall, his progress bar advanced noticeably again.

At this rate, it wouldn’t take long for Zhou Yingting to activate this entry.

Wu Song and others watched Zhou Yingting alternating between books and the cultivation technique on the wall, assuming Zhou Yingting was testing which books were beneficial to the cultivation technique’s progress, thinking nothing of it.

After all, they were doing the same.
