Brush Up Your Proficiency

However, what Wang Hao didn't expect was that the upgrade of the Reading skill didn't cause a sudden influx of knowledge requiring digestion into Wang Hao's brain, like the Cooking and Erhu skills did.

Instead, Wang Hao felt as if his brain had been washed by a clear spring, becoming exceptionally clear.

He could almost feel the neurons in his brain jumping happily, and the speed and efficiency of his thinking were greatly improved.

This feeling was like a computer that could only handle simple tasks being suddenly upgraded to a supercomputer, capable of easily handling various complex calculations.

If he were to take the college entrance exam again at this moment, even without any review, he was confident that he could achieve excellent results, and possibly even be among the top few in the county.

His eyes became increasingly deep, as if containing endless wisdom and insight, but this light quickly disappeared, returning to its usual calm.

"If I had the Reading skill when I was in school, wouldn't I have been able to choose any of the top universities in the country!" Wang Hao exclaimed with emotion.

Although he was very satisfied with this "gift package" after the Reading skill upgrade, out of a subconscious instinct, he was still a little greedy, thinking that this skill came too late.

If he had possessed it earlier, perhaps his life would have taken a different path.

Just as he was feeling emotional, the second notification from the system arrived as scheduled:

"Congratulations, your third skill has reached Advanced level. You can now unlock the fourth skill. Do you want to unlock it?"

Wang Hao put aside the regret that wasn't really that regrettable, and quickly focused his attention on this notification.

The scene before his eyes was the same as when he unlocked skills before, but there were subtle differences, giving Wang Hao the feeling that the color of the scene had faded a lot.

Wang Hao didn't know if it was his illusion, but the deep feeling conveyed by the scene when unlocking skills before seemed to be much weaker this time.

The magnificent scene that seemed so grand before now felt ordinary, and Wang Hao couldn't help but think: Could it be that my mental strength has increased, so my perspective on things has also become higher?

The progress of unlocking the skill didn't stop because of Wang Hao's doubts. The scratch card placed in the center was still lying there quietly.

As Wang Hao's gaze moved to it, it slowly began to approach Wang Hao, causing him to temporarily put aside his doubts and focus his attention on this card full of gambling atmosphere.

At this moment, the huge palm that he vaguely felt appeared again, and began to gently scratch the coating on the scratch card.

The imminent result made Wang Hao widen his eyes and stare intently, as if trying to see something through the increasingly thin coating, afraid of missing any details.

Until the coating on the scratch card was completely scratched off, the hand also began to slowly disappear in Wang Hao's feeling, and the new skill, like a shy girl, began to slowly reveal itself in front of him.

In Wang Hao's vision, another "two-character" skill appeared: Acting!

When Wang Hao saw this skill, his first reaction was: It's not the Doppelganger Technique I was hoping for. It seems that the praying I did just now didn't have much effect.

The system's notification also appeared quickly to assert its presence:

"Congratulations, you have successfully unlocked the Beginner Acting skill. Current proficiency: Beginner Acting 0/100."

Looking at this notification, Wang Hao sighed slightly.

Not only were his expectations dashed, but when he saw the name of this skill, he had a premonition that some unpleasant things might happen in the future.

"Does the system want me to enter the film and television industry? No way, I'm already a cook who loves to read and plays the erhu. Now I have an Acting skill. In the foreseeable future, I'm going to become a cook who can act?"

Before Wang Hao could finish sighing, a change began to occur in his mind. Just like when he first obtained the Erhu skill, a large amount of knowledge about acting suddenly appeared.

If it were in the past, Wang Hao would probably have been dizzy for a while, slowly digesting and absorbing this sudden influx of information.

But with his current mental strength and expanded brain, he was able to organize and absorb all this information without the slightest abnormality.

Checking the unfamiliar knowledge that had appeared in his mind, Wang Hao couldn't help but close his eyes and touch his forehead.

Those views that made his worldview somewhat shattered, such as sacrificing for art and dedicating oneself, made him feel a headache just seeing them.

These concepts were really difficult for Wang Hao, who had always been traditional, to accept.

"Why must there be sacrifice in art? You even have to dedicate yourself to acting. What's the logic behind that!" Wang Hao couldn't help but complain.

Wang Hao instinctively resisted the Acting skill, which required him to fully express himself. After all, he knew his own situation best. He wasn't the kind of person who liked to be flamboyant.

Otherwise, with the skills given by the system for so long, it would have been too easy for him to become famous.

After all, the title "A Cook Who Plays the Erhu" had already made Ma Yang a quick hit back then.

And if he just used his brain a little, created some topics, and matched it with the system-enhanced, fairly decent appearance, although he wouldn't be too much of a focus, he could at least gain a certain number of fans.

If that didn't work, with the "Mind Reading" function, he could quickly make the fortune-telling business thrive.

But Wang Hao didn't choose to do so, which shows that he really didn't like to be flamboyant.

But now the system gave him such a skill, Wang Hao couldn't help but sigh: Isn't this making things difficult for me, Fatty Tiger?

Looking at the words "Acting," he couldn't help but think of those glamorous stars and that chaotic circle.

With the skill given by the system, if he were to take the path of acting in the future, he would definitely go for the strength-based route, but the various bizarre events in that circle made him feel somewhat retreated.

Wealth moves people's hearts. Who knows what kind of things some people will do for the sake of profit?

"Forget it, every cart has its rut. I'll take it one step at a time. If it really doesn't work, I'll temporarily abandon this skill and wait until the 'Star Shift' function is activated, then I'll just brute force it to Advanced.

Although it will take longer, there's nothing I can do about it. Who made me have this kind of personality?"

Wang Hao shook his head helplessly. It seemed that today's sense of ritual was not only not very effective, but also turned him into a "black hand," obtaining this incompatible skill!

Wang Hao was about to go out to eat breakfast and then go to "Food is Heaven" when he suddenly thought that he had thought so much, but he still didn't know how to improve this Acting skill.

The system was still as aloof as ever, not giving any hints, relying entirely on him to explore on his own.

Who knew that at this moment, the system seemed to have sensed Wang Hao's thoughts, and suddenly a notification appeared before his eyes.
