I Can Strengthen Infinitely-Chapter 81 - 75: Attribute Talents

After a battle with the Blood-Devouring Ghost, Qin Yuesheng knew that his strength was still not enough.

So he spent 100 points of All-Purpose Essence, allocating them to both strength and constitution.

Both attributes instantly reached 25.0.

Just as Qin Yuesheng was about to use the remaining 70 points of All-Purpose Essence to enhance the Soul-Shattering Roar, the changes in the strength and constitution attributes caught his attention.

He saw the originally white text turn green for strength and constitution, with several small words appearing behind them.

[Talent can awaken]

Qin Yuesheng reached out and tried tapping on the strength attribute.

Immediately, his view changed.

Strength selectable talent (unique):

① (White) Savage Strength (Power increased by two hundred pounds)

② (White) Savage Growth (Faster power increase rate)

③ (Green) Shockwave Force (Attack carries a shockwave effect)

The three talents each had different effects, but it seemed that the green talent, Shockwave Force, was more useful. Qin Yuesheng promptly made his choice.

Immediately, in the attribute panel, the Shockwave Force talent appeared after the strength attribute.

Qin Yuesheng tested it on the table, and with a light tap on the surface, the entire table began to shake, although not very intensely, likely proportional to the force of the attack.

"I should find someone to truly test the Shockwave Force’s power when I have the time," Qin Yuesheng thought to himself.

He then opened the constitution talents, which also had three options.

① (White) Rapid Healing (Faster wound healing rate)

② (White) Digestive Regulation (Improved digestion ability)

③ (Green) Abundant Hair (Body hair grows like bamboo shoots after rain, four times faster than normal)

Gazing at the three constitution talents, Qin Yuesheng couldn’t help but feel a bit at a loss.

The auxiliary tool was indeed a good one, but its seriousness remained uncertain.

Why was the best green talent such a bizarre ability?

Insanity, who would want their body hair to grow four times faster than normal?

With one choice out of three, Qin Yuesheng eventually chose Rapid Healing, as it was the most practical of the three talents. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Martial artists train regularly, so digestion isn’t a concern.

When the talent was selected, Qin Yuesheng immediately felt an indescribable itch within the many wounds on his body, like someone tickling his nose with a strand of hair.

Qin Yuesheng quickly removed a bandage covering a wound, observing it slowly closing, leaving only a thin line.

At this healing rate, it should scab over by tomorrow morning.

"This talent is quite useful," Qin Yuesheng nodded.

Currently, there were both white and green talents available, and Qin Yuesheng was curious about whether higher-tier talents existed and what effects they might have.

"This Ghost Embryo must be closely connected to the Blood-Devouring Ghost; maybe when it hatches, it’ll be another Blood-Devouring Ghost."

Looking at the Ghost Embryo on the table, as white as jade, Qin Yuesheng had a sudden idea.

This Ghost Embryo, as white as White Jade, might have unknowingly been loaded onto the Qin family’s cargo ship. For reasons unknown, it hatched during the journey, and the Blood-Devouring Ghost fed on the crew, growing into what it became.

"Tomorrow, I should take this Ghost Embryo to Shopkeeper Mo and see if I can find out more."

Sealing the Ghost Embryo, Qin Yuesheng returned to the bed to begin meditation and recovery.

The night passed without a word, and he opened his eyes to the next day.

...

The Qin family’s businesses were widespread throughout Cyan Yang City, including several gambling houses of considerable size.

Since making an agreement with Huang Wei, Qin Yuesheng instructed Cao Zhengchun to set a trap for her parents, using gamblers to attract other gamblers, leading them away from their usual gambling house to one owned by the Qin family.

The bait was that the winner would receive an additional thirty percent of their winnings from the house, an allure no gambler could resist.

Once they fell into the trap, they were allowed to win a few rounds, making over a hundred taels of silver; gamblers unwilling to quit even when losing their clothes would naturally not leave after tasting success.

Then the house would cheat to ensure their loss, lending them money and accruing a debt of nine hundred taels in the gambling house, a significant sum for an ordinary family.

Huang Wei’s parents intended to return home to ask their daughter for money to repay the debt, but Qin Yuesheng wouldn’t allow it, forcing them to sign a work agreement to pay it off.

They wouldn’t need to repay the money, just work honestly in the gambling house for three years; any attempt to escape would result in a beating.

For three years, they wouldn’t be allowed to leave the gambling house, but Huang Wei could visit them, while they couldn’t seek out Huang Wei, effectively placing them under soft house arrest for three years.

For gamblers, working in a gambling house for three years might seem blissful, as it was their source of joy (probably).

"With those two gambling-addicted parents out of the way, Huang Wei should be able to focus better on her novel writing," Qin Yuesheng remarked with a smile, fanning himself at the window.

Following beside the carriage, Cao Zhengchun asked curiously, "Young master, why do you put so much importance on Huang Wei? Can her novels really earn us the funds needed to buy pills in Yangzhou Prefecture?"
