One person, one device; the positions of light and shadow are blurred. He is calculating him, and he is also guarding against him. Upon careful reflection, this situation is quite interesting.
The two seem to be opposites, yet in the days to come, their mutual vigilance will inevitably lead to shared hardships. Perhaps this strange relationship will bring about many intriguing events.
...
After completing all the summaries for the video, Lin pretended to breathe a sigh of relief, but his heart remained tense. To prevent the System from noticing anything amiss, Lin had to continue playing his role.
"System, when will I likely experience impotence?"
Lin asked what seemed to be his most concerning question, but as soon as he spoke, he felt it was inappropriate. He immediately spat and muttered, "Only a fool would worry about impotence! I won't become impotent!"
"Well, what I meant to ask is, how long is the deadline for paying the fine?"
Sniffling, Lin rephrased his question. The System had indicated that if he didn't pay the fine, he would become impotent; therefore, if he paid it, everything would be fine.
It's just money, right? Once I start live streaming, I can earn it back in no time!
"The deadline is two months from now. If the full penalty is not paid by then, there will be further consequences, and you may find yourself in a lifelong state of impotence."
The System's synthesized voice remained cold and unfeeling.
Lin's expression darkened. Just mentioning this issue ignited a fire within him; he felt a chill below, experiencing a mix of heat and cold.
In the dark bedroom, the Live Streamer laughed heartily and felt quite pleased with himself. It seemed he had found Lin's weakness and seized upon it.
"It looks like if he continues to act recklessly in the future, I'll have a way to punish this brat!" the Live Streamer secretly rejoiced.
...
Lin raised an eyebrow; two months was still plenty of time. He should be able to earn 10,000 Hero Coins.
Letting out a sigh of relief, Lin stopped thinking about the chilling issue below and shifted his focus to the Attribute Panel, re-examining those attribute fields.
Earlier, he had been overwhelmed by the Punishment Task and hadn't taken a close look at the Attribute Panel. He remembered that several attributes had changed recently.
First is the Interstellar Level. Originally, Lin's Interstellar Level was only 1, making him a complete novice. However, at this moment, his Interstellar Level has jumped two ranks, becoming a slightly stronger novice.
This is due to a portion of the energy from Torrent. The energy absorbed by his body has transformed into Lin's strength.
He tried it out a bit and found that his speed and strength had both increased. However, these enhancements were merely physical improvements; his Dantian was still empty, with no Inner Strength present.
After looking at his Dantian, Lin Yi was stunned for three seconds.
Did I just see my Dantian?
This was Lin's first reaction. Then, he was overjoyed; he had actually seen his Dantian, which meant that his Dantian had been opened!
Not only that, but the Mysterious Gate had also been opened. Lin had inadvertently taken the first step in cultivation, crossing over a chasm that had been insurmountable for him in the first half of his life!
After calming down, Lin pondered for a moment and understood.
It was simply that the energy from Torrent was too powerful; part of it was used to enhance his body, while another part was used to break through his Dantian and Mysterious Gate.
While he was unconscious, the white light had guided the strong Extreme Solar Energy to help him clear all obstacles and complete the first step of cultivation.
This was the real unexpected surprise—he had opened his Dantian and Mysterious Gate without any preliminary training. In a sense, he already belonged to the realm of talent.
Now that Lin's Dantian and Mysterious Gate were expanded and stabilized by energy, although he still did not have Inner Strength, as long as he began cultivating, he would progress rapidly!
However, this "realm of talent" has its limits. Given the current width of Lin's Dantian, he could reach a maximum Interstellar Level of 10 before reverting back to his original state.
At that time, whatever his Physical Endowment was would determine how much his cultivation speed would decline.
"After all this fuss, I'm just a pseudo-talent; once the guarantee period is over, it will be ineffective."
Understanding this point made Lin chuckle self-deprecatingly.
However, he did not feel discouraged; instead, it ignited his fighting spirit even more. Lin believed that as long as he was willing to work hard, he would eventually rank among the top talents!
The function of Divine Residue is not that simple.
Feeling the burden on him, Lin sighed. His path of cultivation was still long and arduous!
After looking at the interstellar level, the next section was Physical Endowment, which is a common attribute for martial artists and the one Lin was most familiar with.
The "growth potential" in parentheses indicated that Lin's endowment had not yet reached its limit; he could continue to use Divine Residue to stimulate its growth.
The next growth of his endowment would likely be a long time away. This lesson made Lin realize that the use of Divine Residue cannot be blind; he must have complete confidence before proceeding.
If he were to gamble with his life again, he wouldn't die, as he had the System protecting him, but whether his Big Root could be preserved was uncertain...
Shivering again, Lin continued to read.
The Special Endowment section was where he gained the most. This attribute was initially activated after purchasing the Divine Sight endowment.
Divine Sight is straightforward; its current function is x-ray vision, relying on purchases from the shop for growth. Lin had no immediate use for this endowment and did not plan to continue buying upgrades in the near future.
Ink Projection intrigued Lin greatly. This endowment seemed to have emerged from thin air; it did not come from the System but from within himself, though he was unclear about its origin.
Ink Projection allowed Lin to visualize scenarios in his mind comparable to the most sophisticated intellects. This endowment still needed exploration, and when Lin had time, he would have to study it thoroughly.
There was no doubt about the power of this endowment; just based on its initial functions, it was enough to leave Lin astonished—simulating dissection and the preliminary steps of cooking.
In later stages, this endowment could even simulate the entire cooking process. At that time, it would be Lin's proudest achievement!
As for the last Special Endowment, Mutated Blazing Inner Qi, Lin found it somewhat puzzling. It appeared to be a mutation of Inner Strength triggered by the special properties of Crimson Spirit Fruit.
Lin currently did not possess Inner Strength and could not test what differences this endowment had.
Additionally, the "unstable" aspect attached to it made Lin feel troubled. Perhaps this mutation was not a good direction and could very well become an obstacle on his path of cultivation.
There was no way to experiment, and guessing here yielded no results. Lin decided to stop thinking about it and wait until he cultivated the Inner Strength before pondering it further.
By then, he could also invite Fatty to study what the mutation of Inner Strength was all about. Fatty had more martial arts experience than Lin and would definitely be able to help.
Next was the Skills section, which still featured those two skills: Bone-Softening Palm and Left-Handed Blade.
What pleased Lin the most was that he had exchanged the fracture in his left arm for the max-level growth of Left-Handed Blade, resulting in a significant transformation of the skill.
Left-Handed Blade would not only enhance Lin's knife skills, allowing him to create better dishes, but it would also become a powerful technique for combat.
"What a pity, my left arm isn't healed yet; otherwise, I would definitely want to try it out!"
Lin stared at his left hand and muttered to himself. His left arm still needed some time to recover before he could fully utilize Left-Handed Blade.
When he saw the last section, Lin couldn't help but sigh and rubbed his forehead. He revealed a bitter smile and murmured, "Over five thousand Hero Coins, and now my entire worth is down to just these three Hero Coins, which I can't even spend... Luckily, I still have six cans of Super Red Bull..."
"Back to being broke again! It seems I'll never earn enough money in this lifetime!"
Lin's sigh echoed in the room; indeed, a penny could thwart a hero! Moreover, he still had a debt of ten thousand Hero Coins!
Thinking back to his time on Earth, Lin wondered if he had ever been this troubled by money...
