Chapter 347: Holding what

"Bye-bye~" Ash said goodbye to Cynthia, then walked outside.

After Ash left, Yao also walked out of the room: "Mommy, I'm going to school."

"Go ahead, remember to come back for lunch at noon." The elder instructed.

"Mm, I know!" Yao said with a smile.

"Yao, let me see you off, it's on the way." The elder stood up and said.

"No need, I'll just take a taxi myself, Auntie." Yao refused.

"Don't be polite, Yao, just let your mother see you off, it just so happens she needs to buy groceries too." Ash suddenly poked his head out from the kitchen and shouted.

Hearing Ash say this, Cynthia immediately revealed a gratified smile.

"Alright then, Auntie, then I won't be polite." Yao saw that her mother had spoken, so she had to nod and agree.

"Alright, let's go!" Cynthia said happily with a smile, then held Yao's hand and walked toward the entrance of the residential area.

Ash watched Cynthia and Yao leave until they disappeared, then strolled slowly toward the park. It was already 8:30, Ash estimated that Cynthia would be back soon, so Ash wasn't in a hurry.

Ash strolled in the park, feeling the fresh air around him, enjoying the sunlight, it felt really comfortable.

Ash came to the lakeside, quietly watching the scene of fish playing in the Mirror Mirror Lake.

Suddenly, Ash's eyes narrowed, and he saw a beautiful woman playing by the lakeside in the distance.

"What a coincidence?" Ash called out in surprise.

Because this beautiful woman was none other than Qing.

Ash quickly came to Qing's side and patted Qing on the shoulder.

"Ah~~~" Qing was startled, and when she saw it was Ash, she said angrily: "Stinky brother, why are you scaring me."

"Hehe!" Ash scratched his head awkwardly and said.

"Why are you here." Qing asked strangely. Usually, she rarely saw Ash, and it was broad daylight, yet Ash appeared here.

"I'm out for a walk with my mom!" Ash explained.

"Oh, so that's it." Qing suddenly realized, and then her face turned slightly red as she said: "That... I'm also out for a walk with my mom."

"Oh!" Ash said lightly.

"Eh! What are you holding in your hand?" Qing asked puzzled.

"Nothing, I'm going back." Ash didn't want to chat with her, after all, the Qing in this world was very different from the Qing in his memory, and her personality seemed to have changed quite a bit.

"Mm!" Qing nodded gently, she also knew their identities, and couldn't discuss other topics at all.

After Ash returned home, he threw this matter to the back of his mind, anyway, it had nothing to do with him, he was only responsible for the tasks.

Ash came to the training ground and saw a blonde beauty commanding everyone in training, "This must be Sister Cynthia." Ash thought to himself.

Subsequently, Ash walked to Cynthia's side and said: "Sister Cynthia, what are you doing?"

"Hmm? Ash, you're back?" Cynthia said in surprise.

"Yeah! Just got back from May's house." Ash answered with a smile.

"These past few days, May didn't throw a tantrum, did she." Cynthia said.

"May was quite well-behaved." Ash answered.

"Oh! That's good!" Cynthia said.

"By the way, Sister Cynthia, why haven't you come to play with me these past few days." Ash asked.

"Hehe! I've been busy cultivating these past few days." Cynthia said apologetically, because Cynthia had been busy cultivating magic recently, so she didn't have time to find Ash.

"Oh~~~" Ash suddenly realized, and then said: "Sister Cynthia, then you continue cultivating, I'm leaving first."

"Mm! Goodbye, Ash." Cynthia waved her hand with a smile, signaling goodbye.

After Ash left Cynthia's sight, Ash began his plan.

First, Ash decided to go sign up for the basketball team, because only by passing the basketball game could he obtain more faith points.

Although Ash knew nothing about basketball, Ash possessed the system, and Ash could completely exchange for a basketball skill point to improve his strength.

Ash spent 100 faith points to purchase a basketball skill point, and subsequently, Ash placed this skill point on Constitution.

Instantly, Ash's attributes became:

Strength 2, Agility 2, Defense 3, Spirit 3

[Special Item]: Ash’s Clone x100,000

[Skill]:

Basketball Mastery:

[Combat Skills]: Shooting, Blocking, Stealing

[Skill Proficiency]: 4/1000

Ash checked his attributes and was very satisfied. This time, Ash had gained 5 skill points, and these points were beyond his expectations; he hadn't anticipated getting 6 points.

"Forget it, there's no need to dwell on that now." Ash sighed to himself. He knew that what he needed to do now was to improve his strength as quickly as possible so that he could protect everything he wanted to guard.

"Right! Let's put the skill points into Strength first!" Ash thought to himself.

Immediately, Ash clicked to use the skill points and added them to Strength.

[Skill]: Basketball Mastery

[Skill Level]: Beginner

[Effect]: Increases Strength value by 10,000 (500+50*1000=5000), lasting 30 seconds.

[Skill Cooldown]: 3 days.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Ash exclaimed. Although this skill only increased his base strength by a little over a hundred points, it multiplied it by five, providing a total increase of over a thousand points in Strength value.

Furthermore, Ash noticed that his body had undergone a slight change; his skin had become more delicate and supple, and he looked even more handsome and dashing.

"No wonder Xiao Qing likes me so much. I wonder what kind of expression she'll have when she sees my appearance now?" Ash curled his lips into a smile and muttered to himself.

On the other side, Cynthia bought a plot of land near her home, preparing to build a villa.

"Mom, are you moving again?" asked Cynthia’s younger sister, Xiana. Today, Cynthia was moving into her new home.

"Yes!" Cynthia gently stroked Xiana’s little head and said with a smile.

"But why?" Xiana asked, puzzled.

Xiana was very confused as to why her sister suddenly wanted to move. Could it be that their father had bullied her sister?

"Because your brother-in-law is going abroad to study," Cynthia said.

"Oh!" Xiana said, looking thoughtful. CHAPTER 744
