Brush Up Your Proficiency

The sudden appearance of the notification interrupted Wang Hao's thoughts. He was slightly stunned for a moment, then a bright smile gradually appeared on his face.

"There really is a new skill!" Wang Hao couldn't help but sigh at his high luck value today. The joy in his heart was overflowing, and his emotions seemed like a cheerful little sparrow, hopping around.

What is the most precious thing? The answer is naturally: what is lost is the most precious.

When Wang Hao's Erhu skill was raised to advanced, this notification to unlock a new skill did not appear as promptly as last time, leading him to believe that his previous guess was wrong.

Wang Hao felt disappointed and couldn't help but start thinking about his future path.

If nothing unexpected happened, his future might involve wandering the world relying on his Erhu and cooking skills, or he might settle down in the restaurant business.

However, this sense of stability made him feel both bound and somewhat at ease.

After all, if no new skill appeared, it would mean that his future path was largely determined.

He only needed to focus on developing his existing two skills to gradually achieve a life that was once out of reach. The magic of these two skills was enough to allow him to live a life he couldn't have imagined before.

Modern people always tend to choose those jobs that can be seen through at a glance, such as civil servants. Although Wang Hao has a heart that yearns for freedom, he is sometimes no exception.

But now, the appearance of the new skill notification made his mood suddenly become active. The cheat didn't block his path to freedom of body and mind!

Multiple skills mean multiple paths. It's always good to have more skills, and who would dislike the cheat giving them more skills?

After Wang Hao adjusted his mentality, he looked up at the clear sky, put his hands together, and bowed piously towards the sky, muttering to himself, even though he didn't know what he was mumbling about.

After completing his worship of the heavens, Wang Hao took a deep breath, then stared intently at the words "Activate?" on the cheat notification, silently praying in his heart: "God, please bless me, activate the new skill!"

As he finished silently chanting in his heart, the same scene as when he activated the Erhu skill last time appeared before his eyes.

It was still that magnificent scene, with a scratch card with a skill icon in the center, as if summoning Wang Hao, causing people to involuntarily focus their attention on it.

At this moment, the coating under the scratch card picture was being slowly scratched open by an invisible giant hand.

Although Wang Hao had experienced this situation before, he couldn't help but concentrate fully in the face of such a bizarre scene, for fear of missing any details.

The coating was gradually scraped clean, and the new skill was looming behind that finger.

Wang Hao stared at this scene with wide eyes, his heart full of curiosity and anticipation, eager to know what kind of skill he would get, a kind of nervous excitement like a gambler before the lottery draw.

When the last layer of coating was completely scraped off, a brand-new skill name appeared in front of him - Reading.

Just as Wang Hao saw the two words clearly, the cheat's notification also appeared in front of Wang Hao:

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

"Reading? What kind of skill is this? Is it just for reading books and newspapers? Can this be considered a skill?" Wang Hao felt very puzzled and couldn't help but look up at the sky, hoping that God could give him some hints, after all, he had worshiped God before activating the skill.

However, the sky remained silent and gave no response.

Wang Hao couldn't help but comfort himself: Okay, maybe God wants me to become as peaceful as the sky, so he gave me a relatively quiet reading skill.

Unlike the previous skills, this time Wang Hao obtained the Reading skill, the cheat did not directly provide relevant information or knowledge. Therefore, he was not clear about the specific function of this skill and could only guess its possible impact.

Perhaps, this Reading skill is not limited to the ordinary meaning of reading behavior, but has a wider range of applications.

Perhaps it can help him better understand various written materials, including books, documents, etc.

Or, it can improve his learning ability, making it easier for him to master new knowledge and skills.

In addition, does this Reading skill have other special functions? For example, it can allow Wang Hao to quickly browse a large amount of text and extract key information.

Or, it may help improve memory, allowing him to better remember what he has read.

These are just Wang Hao's guesses, and the actual situation can only be known in practice.

But what is certain is that the skills produced by the system should be more than just letting him read more books. The magical effect of the cooking skill can be deduced from this. The specifics will have to be explored slowly in the future.

In any case, now that Wang Hao has obtained such a skill, exploring this new skill is a necessary process. Just from the literal meaning of this Reading skill, Wang Hao can currently only think of improving its proficiency through reading books.

Wang Hao shook his head, shaking off the chaotic thoughts about the new skill in his mind, while packing his things, he optimistically thought:

"The previous two skills, whether it's cooking or Erhu, both involve using my hands. This time the skill is good, it starts to use my eyes, which is also good. If I get another skill that uses my arms, then my two arms might really be trained into unicorn arms."

The so-called dish tasting is to make a table of dishes the day before the official opening of the banquet, so that the host's family and some elders can taste them and give suggestions. If they feel that there is anything inappropriate, it will be good to make adjustments in time.

Grandpa Wang originally wanted Wang Hao to make the dish tasting table today, and while showing off his eldest grandson, he could also let his eldest grandson adapt to the rhythm of tomorrow in advance.

Because Wang Hao didn't bring his mobile phone, his sister Wang Lan couldn't contact him. If she went to find someone in person, the huge back mountain would not be easy to deal with, and it would not be easy to find Wang Hao.

Grandpa Wang waited for a while, and couldn't wait for anyone. Seeing that things were about to be delayed, the old man had no choice but to go by himself.

When Wang Hao heard what his sister said, he quickly looked up at the clock hanging on the wall. The time was already ten minutes past twelve. It was obviously already started, and it was not appropriate to go there again. Helpless, he could only go to apologize to his grandfather later.
