A pale blue screen appeared in the air.
As the light flickered, several prompt messages refreshed and flashed by.
[Congratulations, after relentless effort, your skills have broken through the bottleneck and reached a master level]
[Congratulations, after relentless effort, your skills have reached the pinnacle and achieved a qualitative leap at the current capacity]
[Cleaning Level 2 (MAX)]
Fang Cheng raised his eyebrows at this, his gaze slightly narrowed.
Has it reached the maximum level?
A trace of surprise crossed his mind.
But on second thought, it seemed reasonable.
Just like those Language Skills he learned before, any Skill has its potential limit and cannot be enhanced indefinitely.
After all, this is the real world, with fixed social order and natural rules.
Unless an extraordinary chance occurs to break the shackles, everything has its limits.
And Cleaning, in the end, is just an ordinary life skill.
Even if he masters it to the extreme, becoming the overlord among cleaners, the master among Cleaners...
In essence, he remains a cleaner.
As for what the prompt message mentioned... "achieved a qualitative leap"?
Fang Cheng’s eyes suddenly brightened, and a wave of anticipation rose in his heart.
He was about to focus his attention on carefully examining the concrete changes brought about by reaching the maximum skill level. The source of thɪs content is novel(ꜰ)ire.net
"Chengcheng, lunch is ready! You’ve been busy all morning, come in for lunch."
The voice of his mother, Li Biyun, came from inside the house, with a hint of urging.
Fang Cheng immediately responded loudly.
Looking up, unknowingly, the sun had already reached its zenith, and it was close to noon.
He quickly glanced at the panel where the light was not entirely dissipated, and with a thought, the panel dimmed.
Then, looking at the courtyard that he had cleaned spotless, almost dust-free, his tumultuous thoughts seemed to be swept away as well, becoming clear.
Lunch was still simple home-cooked meals, a plate of stir-fried pea shoots, a plate of tomatoes and eggs, a soup of yam and ribs, and steamed turbot fish,
The dishes were thoughtfully prepared, apparently to cater to his grandfather’s post-surgery recovery with a light taste, and also considering Fang Cheng’s dietary preferences.
At the dining table, Li Zhenhua was still talking about seizing the "government job" opportunity, but was stopped several times by Li Biyun’s glances.
After the meal, Fang Cheng volunteered to do the dishwashing.
When everything was tidied up, he returned to his bedroom on the second floor.
Closing the door, isolating all outside noises, the whole world instantly became silent.
Fang Cheng took a deep breath, his mind sinking once again, and the familiar panel appeared.
He directly focused his attention on the skill section that had reached the pinnacle.
[Cleaning Level 2 (MAX)]
[Received Enhancement Reward, Skill Effect: "Trace Rewind"]
Fang Cheng’s Spirit was invigorated, and he began to carefully read the detailed description emerging below.
[Passive Effect: Your "Scavenger’s Eye" has received ultimate enhancement, not only capable of seeing subtle traces undetectable by ordinary people but also clearly perceiving the freshness and intensity of the energy aura remaining on the traces]
"Freshness and intensity?"
A doubtful thought crossed Fang Cheng’s mind.
The description was somewhat too abstract.
The panel seemed to sense his confusion, and a few new annotations emerged consequently.
[For example, a freshly formed fingerprint or footprint will have a very bright energy aura, while one left a few days ago will appear dim due to energy dissipation.]
[Simultaneously, the force applied to the object’s surface will also affect the aura’s intensity; the greater the force, the brighter the aura; the lighter the force, the dimmer the aura.]
[Blood stains also follow a similar rule; as time passes, they will present varying hues from bright red to dark purple in your vision.]
[By precisely distinguishing the "freshness" and "intensity" of the aura, you can trace back the time the trace was formed, with accuracy directly related to your spiritual power strength.]
[With your current Spirit Attribute, you can control the time deviation to about one minute.]
Fang Cheng’s lips curled slightly.
This style, why does it feel a bit strange...
It’s less like doing Cleaning, and more like performing an autopsy.
Suppressing the odd feeling in his heart, he continued to look down.
[Active Effect, when you concentrate your spirit and touch a key trace marked by "Scavenger’s Eye" with your hand, you can trigger "Rewind"]
[A ghostly black-and-white remnant image of the trace formation moment will flash in your mind, reconstructing the dynamic scene for you]
Fang Cheng’s breath hitched slightly.
This has completely surpassed the realm of "Cleaning"!
If the previous "Scavenger’s Eye" was merely "discovery", granting him eyes sharper than a hunting dog’s sense of smell and a hawk’s vision, quickly finding "what’s wrong".
Then the current "Trace Rewind" is the ultimate evolution from "discovery" to "analysis" and "reconstruction".
Fang Cheng quickly compared the old and new abilities in his mind.
Previously, through the "Scavenger’s Eye", seeing a button lost in a corner led to a conclusion:
"There is a button here."
But now "Trace Rewind" may provide information such as:
"This button was torn off by a roughly six-foot-tall man during a fierce fight three hours ago and rolled to this spot."
This is essentially the kind of super deductive ability that appears in novels and movies, given tangible form by the panel in a more intuitive way.
