Chapter 65: Advanced Level

Michael was already beginning to get kind of lazy, which was actually due to Adrian.

Michael was being impacted by the speed at which Adrian was able to acquire skills, making him try to think of an easy way of acquiring the information.

It was just that, he was not really sure if this idea was going to work out or not.

He had been thinking, since he was able to acquire items that were present within this world just in the form of thoughts and theories, was it possible for him to be able to acquire the information the same way?

In simple terms, he was thinking, was it possible for him to be able to advance the driving skill as fast as possible by watching science fiction movies?

After all, in those movies, the drivers did some things that were quite exaggerated, but required skills. So, he was wondering, was it possible for him to be able to do those things?

In any case, it was not as though he would have to try them out, as with the system, as long as the information was collected, he would be granted the ability of doing that.

It was just that, Michael was not sure if this idea was viable or not.

In any case, since he was able to acquire the information through watching fights, he wanted to try and see if it was possible to do the same by watching movies.

He quickly downloaded several science fiction movies that were related to racing and so on. As long as it was anything that was related to being an incredible driver, he downloaded it.

After he finished downloading the videos, it was finally time to start watching.

As he began watching the videos in fast forward, he realized that he could actually exceed the previous speed that he was capable of watching the videos before.

Slowly, he began increasing the speed of the video, until the time that it reached eight times the normal speed.

It was only at this point that things began blurring when he watched, which was not something that would allow him to collect the information.

So, in the end, he settled at the speed of seven times the ordinary speed of the video. But even at this speed, it was already above what ordinary people would be able to perceive.

Michael paused the video for a moment, as he began thinking about the reason why this was the case.

It did not take long for him to be able to understand why he was able to watch a video at a faster speed as compared to before.

It was all due to the enhancement that he had received with the advancement of the unarmed combat skill to the advanced level.

Since his body had been enhanced, he was able to do things at a faster speed. As a result, his perception had also been improved by a certain margin, in order to make sure that his brain was able to catch up with his physical actions.

It was for this reason that he was able to finally watch videos at a speed that was 7 times the normal speed.

’It seems that I will have to acquire more combat related skills. Maybe, they might be quite helpful, allowing me to be able to acquire more skills easier.’ Michael thought.

It was also at this point that he finally understood why he had been able to finish reading PDFs at a faster speed as compared to before.

It was no wonder that within just slightly over a week, he had pushed the driving skill to over 47%.

While it was mainly due to the information related to the driving skill not being dense, which might have also been a contributing factor, but his current perception could not be ignored.

But there was something else that Michael had noticed. It was that, his appetite had also increased ever since the enhancement.

This was something that he had already noticed before, and understood that it was mainly because his current body required way more energy in order to be sustained.

With this out of the way, Michael continued watching the video.

And, something that made him excited was that, he could see that the progress bar was moving. This implied, this was going to work.

If he was going to be capable of acquiring all the information related to driving from just watching the movies, it would be quite easy for him to be able to reach 100%.

As for why that was the case, it was simply because he was able to watch videos at the fastest speed as compared to the speed that he could read with.

It was just that, several minutes after he began watching the video, Michael began feeling slightly hungry.

This was something that puzzled him, considering that he had eaten not long ago.

Despite being confused, he just continued watching the video, but less than an hour later, Michael was forced to stop.

At this point, he was feeling extremely hungry, and could not ignore it at all. So, he quickly called Adrian to bring over something that he could eat.

Thankfully, Adrian had already prepared some snacks for him, so, he brought them over, while preparing another meal for him.

While eating the snacks, Michael began contemplating the reason why he was getting hungry so soon.

But then, he realized, since he was watching the video at full speed, that implied that his perception was being used to the maximum limit possible.

The brain was being strained by this, and as a result, there was a high energy consumption, which made him feel so hungry in just a little while.

After realizing this, Michael made a decision. When Adrian was serving the food, he said, “From now on, make sure that you prepare the meals that have high energy content.

Additionally, you can be prepared, as I might eat more frequently as compared to before.”

“No problem Michael. I will monitor your eating frequency, so that I can plan out how the meals will be prepared.” Adrian responded.

Michael nodded in response, as he quickly ate the food.

Immediately after that, he began watching the video. It was just that, as he began watching the video again, he suddenly felt tired.

Just as he was confused about this, he suddenly realized something.

While it was true that he had just eaten, before continuing to watch the video, the food had not yet been digested.

So of course, there was no energy for the brain activity, which made him feel so tired, not only physically, but even mentally.

“Adrian, could you get me some glucose?” Michael asked while rubbing his temples.

“Sure.” Adrian responded.

Good thing, while shopping, Adrian had made sure that some things, even though were rarely used, were available within the apartment’s kitchen.

After consuming the glucose, Michael waited for about 5 minutes, before he finally felt that he was recovering part of his energy.

After recovering, he continued watching the video, and was even more motivated as he saw the progress bar increasing.

….

It was on a Thursday, just 14 days since they arrived in Brenton city, and 13 days since Michael moved into this apartment.

At the moment, Michael was lying on the couch, watching a video on his phone.

The video that he was watching was from a movie, supposedly from 2 years into the future.

At that time, the technology was way advanced, and it seemed that even the skills that people possessed had also advanced with the technology.

The movie was mainly about a racing competition, where the main character had no other choice but to race, because he was being blackmailed.

But that was not the main point. Currently, as he was watching the video, Michael was also paying attention to the progress bar.

At the moment, the progress bar had already reached 99%, and Michael was looking forward to the advancement of the bar to 100%.

From watching the videos, Michael had realized that the speed at which he was able to acquire the skills had actually been increased.

It was just that, not all the information within the videos were related to racing and driving different vehicles.

It was for this reason that it had taken him an entire 6 days in order to be able to reach this point.

After all, it was impossible to be able to find movies related to each type of vehicle. So, for some vehicles that he could not find videos on, he had no other choice but to read, which was quite more time consuming.

Since he had realized that it was a little difficult for him to be able to acquire the information on some of the least popular vehicles, he decided to focus on them first.

But at the moment, he was focusing on some of the most popular sports cars. This race was involving driving some sports cars.

While he was watching the video, the progress bar suddenly reached 100%. And in the next second, there was a prompt from the system.

[Experience full. Level up. Driving skills upgraded to advanced level. +1,000 SP.]
