Chapter 68: Consecutive Breakthroughs of Inheritance Rewards, Bronze Treasure Chest

The atmosphere inside the car was slightly oppressive.

There were four people in the car in total.

Ma Wei was driving; as a minor character who had just gotten his life back, he sat upright in the driver's seat, hands gripping the steering wheel, eyes fixed straight ahead.

Ma Bin sat in the passenger seat; having just been implanted with the Tongue Root Death Curse, he didn't feel like speaking, head lowered as he fiddled with the glass eye in his hand, looking rather creepy.

The eye had been gouged from Zheng Si's face.

Zheng Si lay in the rear compartment, cradling his head that was missing an eye; he was the one with the most peaceful state of mind in the car right now.

Feng Mu sat in the spacious back seat, the pale mask once again covered by the black mask, resting with eyes closed, browsing the overdue settlement prompts on his retina.

【You used schemes and tricks, deceived a fool, located the position of the Yin Sha Nine Nether Calamity Iron, you are truly despicable.】

【You stood up to the Patrol Bureau Captain, frontally defeated an enforcer, took a solid step on the path of lawlessness, congratulations, you are on the Patrol Bureau's wanted list, this is a day worth celebrating.】

【Inheritance Degree↑】

【You activated Feast, tasted the first drop of blood, you broke through your bottom line, shattered the shackles binding you, your mindset is quietly changing, you are growing into an unscrupulous villain.】

【Inheritance Degree↑↑】

【You severely injured your blood-relation father, once wasn't enough, you did it again, you are increasingly cold-blooded, you're starting to be a bit unfilial, on this road of killing father to prove the Dao, you've already surpassed 90% of villains, hope you keep at it and achieve even greater results.】

【Inheritance Degree↑↑↑】

【You used power to beguile 44 souls, they became delicacies on your dining table, don't deny it, you were anticipating their self-cooking, anticipating their ripe-for-the-picking deaths.】

【Inheritance Degree↑】

【You don't trust anyone, regardless of loyalty, you treat them all the same by planting evil Secret Arts in them; compared to loyalty or affection, deep down you prefer using death to control subordinates, in your bones you are a dictatorial tyrant.】

【Inheritance Degree↑】

【Today is truly a colorful day.】

【You are metamorphosing, you are actively embracing the dark abyss.】

【You have gained the realization of a villain!】

【Inheritance Degree settling...】

【Inheritance Degree broke through 4%, your reward has been delivered, please check.】

【Inheritance Degree broke through 5%, your reward has been delivered, please check.】

【Detected your Inheritance Degree broke through a key node, you unlocked a Treasure Chest, please check...】

Receiving rewards is always the most pleasant time of day, fighting to the death, scheming and struggling, when it comes down to it isn't it all for growth rewards.

"Broke through 2 percentage points at once, what a pleasant surprise, but it also shows this system's piss-poor nature is to lure me into causing trouble."

"Especially mass killing raises it fastest; if I got out now and found a way to turn the Nine Districts into a no-man's land, would Inheritance Degree instantly max out?"

Feng Mu thought in his heart, of course it was just thinking in his head; he would be a villain all right, but not a beast devoid of humanity.

At the very least, he'd need a noble-sounding reason like the Family Planning Director Thanos to randomly fire off map-wide nukes.

Under the mask, Feng Mu laughed coldly, consecutively claiming the 4% and 5% Inheritance Degree rewards.

【You obtained General Skill Proficiency*20000】

【You obtained Common Attribute Points*3】

Two rewards at once is just more satisfying than one.

Feng Mu took a deep breath, feeling that a day of killing and scheming, the accumulated exhaustion was all breathed out.

"General Skill Proficiency, came at just the right time, after all I just got two new martial arts manuals, exactly when I need Skill Proficiency."

"Also, hmm... in the future I probably won't lack low-grade martial arts manuals either, at least the ones sold in the Bookstore, Ma Bin should be able to afford them all."

"Ma Bin can afford them equals I can afford them, he is my 【downline】, in the future I won't need to extort him anymore, because his money rightfully should all be under my control, no problem."

The face under the 【Mask】 was beaming, not easy ah, he now suddenly hoped for rewards like 【1% Inheritance Degree】 that require delivery, the more the better.

Best if the goods and the courier were packaged and delivered to the door together.

Ma Bin in the passenger seat was just playing with the eyeball when he suddenly felt a chill down his spine; he glanced at the rearview mirror, met the 【Mask】's gaze and shivered hard.

Hard to describe what kind of gaze it was, no malice, on the contrary full of scorching heat, but Ma Bin just had the feeling of being targeted by a greedy crocodile.

"What scheme is the 【upline】 cooking up now?" Ma Bin felt a bit uneasy deep down.

Feng Mu withdrew his gaze, attention refocusing on the prompt box — 【Common Attribute Points*3】.

As his consciousness sank in, a brand new template unlocked.

Feng Mu

Strength: 5.7 (1.1+4.6)

Agility: 1.2 (0.8+0.4)

Constitution: 2.1 (0.9+1.2)

Spirit: 1.1 (1+0.1)

Note: Attribute Value = Base Value + Added Value

Added Value originates from 【Entries】, 【Skills】, 【Traits】, 【Equipment】, 【Secret Arts】 and other value increases.

This panel is different from the original one in the game, obviously another patch after the game descended into reality, but it's not difficult to understand either.

Feng Mu pondered slightly and got it: "Taking my highest attribute Strength as example, 1.1 is my own value, the added 4.6 mainly comes from 【Iron Eater】 reconstructing bones, maybe a tiny bit from 【Crane Claw Technique】."

"By analogy, the 0.4 added value most likely comes from 【Crane Claw Technique】, because 【Iron Eater】 doesn't add Agility."

"Constitution's 1.2 added value should come from 【Iron Eater】, possibly also 【Blood Frenzy】 influence, the 0.1 Spirit added is probably from 【Tongue Root Death Curse】?"

The value calculation isn't fully transparent, Feng Mu couldn't be bothered to delve deeper; he wasn't the type of technical emperor who writes guides staring at numbers when playing games.

Close enough; in short, 【Entries】, 【Skills】, 【Traits】, 【Equipment】, 【Secret Arts】... these things, existent or not, the more the better.

As long as there's no quantity limit, just stack them to the death.

"Hmm, speaking of which, where's my 【Equipment】 slot, is it still not unlocked?" Feng Mu roasted internally.

He didn't need to guess to know that he would have to wait until Inheritance Degree broke a certain threshold, obtained his first piece of equipment, before 【Equipment Template】 would be unlocked.

All system tricks, everything revolved around Inheritance Degree, and he was the one starting to taste the sweetness, biting down hard on the hook... piranha.

Looking at his extremely lopsided Attributes, Feng Mu couldn't help but feel emotion; the body left by the original body truly had a poor foundation, he could only make his Attributes look slightly presentable, truly relying entirely on his own life-and-death struggle.

Feng Mu didn't rush to Add Points; there would be an ambush battle later, he could observe the enemy's strength and then allocate points accordingly.

General Skill Proficiency had prerequisite conditions, requiring the skill to first get started, but adding Attribute Points shouldn't need that, it should be usable immediately, right?

"Mmm..."

Feng Mu's Worry flared up again, and he tried adding points once first.

【Agility 1.2 (0.8+0.4) → 2.2 (1.8+0.4)】

Because the base Attribute was low, even adding just 1 point, Feng Mu's feeling was still very Obvious.

"The body feels lighter, not lighter in weight, but the restraint of gravity on myself seems to have halved?" Feng Mu felt the changes in his body.

Subjective feeling was very self-centered, not scientific at all; Feng Mu understood this was the illusion transmitted by his body organs to his brain due to Agility suddenly doubling.

Feng Mu didn't take it too seriously; the specific effect of a 1-point Agility increase still had to be tested in Real Combat.

"Then, it's the unlocked Treasure Chest..."

Feng Mu opened the panel and saw a bronze Treasure Chest flickering with a heart-moving light.

【You unlocked a bronze Treasure Chest!】

【You obtained the following rewards:

1, You obtained Special Skill Point*1.

2, You obtained an Evil God Secret Art: Blood Bar Ghost Eye.

3, You activated a lurking 【Destiny】 tactical squad, they are currently...】

"Arrived."

Ma Bin spoke, Cutting Off Feng Mu's contemplation; he closed the panel and looked out the Car Window...
