The terms "vitality" and "spirit"—he had seen them online not just once or twice yesterday.

Modern martial artists, though not overly numerous, are not exactly rare either.

With the current age of information, there are always some things circulating online.

Even ordinary people have some understanding that vitality and spirit are the foundation of martial artists.

Low-tier martial artists rarely talk about spirit; it’s not their main focus.

But some online opinions claim that for high-level martial artists, especially grandmasters, the main difference from low-level martial artists lies in the spirit.

However, that’s a bit distant for Brian Carter; for low-tier martial artists, the main concern is still vitality.

With abundant vitality, all diseases are cured!

Even in Brian Carter’s previous life, vitality was often referenced—traditional Chinese medicine and health preservation are all about nurturing vitality.

People with abundant vitality are healthier than others.

Some powerful tonics also serve to replenish vitality.

For martial artists, or those preparing to become one, having abundant vitality doesn’t necessarily make you a martial artist, but a martial artist must have abundant vitality!

Practicing martial arts isn’t just meditation; it’s quite different from Daoism.

A martial artist is essentially an ordinary person who has trained to the extreme, breaking through the physical limits of ordinary people—that’s the origin of martial artists.

With sufficient vitality, a healthy body, and the ability to withstand consumption, that’s the foundation of physical strength.

“In other words, increasing vitality can make it easier for me to become a martial artist. After becoming one, it’ll also be easier to adapt to further training and break through step by step…”

Brian Carter muttered, then asked himself, “Now that there’s a wealth value, and both vitality and spirit are quantified, does that mean I can convert wealth value into them? And what’s the conversion rate?”

A one-to-one ratio—Brian Carter hadn’t even considered it.

Right now, both his vitality and spirit values are 1.

If it were a one-to-one conversion, wouldn’t one yuan double his vitality compared to an ordinary person? Brian Carter would never believe it could be that easy.

“So how exactly do I convert it?”

Brian Carter spoke, a bit helpless, “At least give me a manual—figuring it out myself is too much trouble.”

At this moment, as long as Brian Carter focused, he could see a few lines of numbers in his field of vision.

Staring at the numbers for a while, Brian Carter tentatively said, “System, system, give me a bit more vitality?”

No response!

“System boss, can I use wealth value to exchange for vitality?”

“……”

“Great one, boss, are you alive? Say something?”

“……”

“Open sesame?”

“……”

“Little bunny, be good?”

“……”

“The Three Pure Ones above? Namo Amitabha? God bless…”

“Damn you!”

After trying for a while, the three lines of numbers remained unmoved. Brian Carter gave up completely—it seemed unrelated.

After thinking for a bit, Brian Carter focused intently on those lines of numbers, trying to see if there was a “+” he’d missed after the numbers.

Unfortunately, there wasn’t.

Now Brian Carter was stumped—he had no idea how to use it. Could it be broken?

Is this thing even reliable?

He grumbled inwardly, “Why couldn’t you just make it work all at once? Now I’m stuck in limbo—have you considered my feelings?”

“Add some vitality, or I’ll beat you to death if you don’t!”

Brian Carter stared at the small numbers in his vision and casually said this, but as soon as he finished speaking, the numbers before his eyes suddenly changed!

“Wealth: 0

Vitality: 1.1

Spirit: 1

……”

“What the—!”

Brian Carter was instantly dumbfounded—so that’s how it works?

You have to threaten this thing?

Stunned, Brian Carter’s body also started to squirm a bit uncomfortably.

But soon, the discomfort faded.

Brian Carter let out a long breath, suddenly feeling much lighter all over.

If he had to describe it, it was like an asthma patient suddenly not having asthma anymore, or someone with anemia no longer being anemic.

To exaggerate a bit, it felt as if Earth’s gravity had lessened just a little, though the sensation was faint.

“Feels great!”

Even though his vitality only increased by 0.1, Brian Carter felt better than after a top-notch massage.

But just like a man after finishing, the pleasure didn’t last long and quickly faded.

Even so, Brian Carter could still faintly sense that his body was a bit healthier than before. He knew himself best—if his body changed suddenly, he’d definitely notice.

But seeing his wealth drop to 0, Brian Carter immediately frowned!

He knew the conversion rate wouldn’t be high, but 100,000 to 1? That’s a rip-off!

10,000 wealth value for a 0.1 increase in vitality—he hadn’t turned into Superman, just someone with a bit more vitality than an ordinary person.

So how much wealth value would he need to reach a martial artist’s standard for vitality?

Thinking of this, Brian Carter suddenly looked at his desk. When he saw the red bills were still there, he breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness—the worst didn’t happen.

If the wealth value was spent and the money disappeared too, he really wouldn’t know how to explain it to his parents.

Grabbing the money on the desk, Brian Carter fell into deep thought once again.
