Chapter 164: The Greedy Snake (Third Watch, Requesting Votes)

"He really left."

Looking at Kusla, who lay motionless in the room, Li En sighed with emotion.

Some people, when they are around daily, evoke no feeling, even seeming annoying, but when they are truly gone, one always feels something is missing.

"Hoo."

He slowly got out of bed, yet felt no post-operative weakness as expected.

He reached out and touched the place where the wound had been in his memory, but could not even find a scar.

It was as if all of this was a dream.

"I asked the priest to come," said Purple Miss Zi Qiangwei, seeming a bit uneasy as she looked at Li En's bewildered expression.

Li En clenched his fist, stood up, and smiled at Purple Miss Zi Qiangwei.

For a girl who had taken care of him for three days, he did not feel he should pass on his negative emotions.

"Looks like it was successful."

This did not require feeling; after taking two steps, Li En felt strength throughout his body.

Getting up too abruptly just now, he had unknowingly squeezed a handprint into the bed.

Turning to look at the obvious mark, Li En was also somewhat surprised, and the changes on the encyclopedia panel plainly revealed the transformation of his physique.

【Creature Name: Multi-headed Young Dragon (Black Dragon, Red Dragon), Creature Level: Bai Yin, Status: Strength 14, Constitution 16, Agility 10, Spirit 14】

Strength increased by 4, Constitution by 5, Agility by 4, and Spirit, the hardest to improve (theoretically it would not increase), rose directly by four points.

This was probably thanks to the gifts from the Mind Flayer Elder Brain and the Black Dragon brothers.

"This improvement seems a bit ridiculous."

It was obvious that Li En's attributes had already surpassed normal Bai Yin species; comparing him to Talia, who was also a Bai Yin species, made it very clear.

【Creature Level: Bai Yin, Status: Strength 11, Constitution 11, Agility 14】

The total of the first three basic attributes was 40 versus 36; the gap seemed not large, but with such a difference in Strength and Constitution, once they clashed, it would easily result in hardware suppression.

In actual combat, when clashing swords, the weaker side would have a high probability of dropping their weapon.

During a charge or an exchange of blows, Li En would not die, while Talia might be crushed to death directly.

At this point, Li En's strength had already exceeded the Ogre's 13 points, making the Cursed Ogre Gloves completely unusable.

And this also meant Li En could try to crush an ordinary Ogre to death.

The difference in combat Agility would be very insignificant; Agility was more like an evaluation of body balance and comprehensive speed. With this gap combined with Li En's Dragon Eyes, it was not a major problem at all.

Moreover, in terms of Spirit, Li En was at least five or six points higher; combined, it was a crushing hardware advantage.

This was even under the premise that Talia was also a very strong and rare advanced form.

"So this is a Dragon? Truly worthy of being the King of Hard Attributes."

For Dragon attribute advancements, the most obvious trait is that hardware attributes often hold the advantage.

There was another example in this regard: the attributes Li En had detected in Dai Niya back then.

【Creature Level: Gold, Status: Strength 16, Constitution 18, Agility 12】

Almost the same attribute curve as Li En's, with Constitution highest, Strength second, and Agility not low either; a typical Dragon-type character with balanced stats.

Her Spirit power would not be low; in fact, there was a high probability it was her highest main attribute.

With Dai Niya's hardware attributes, looking only at Strength and Constitution, she was already not far from a Hill Giant.

Li En stood up, jumped, threw a few punches, and even vaguely heard the sound of wind breaking; compared to when he first arrived at Radiance City, he was truly far too powerful.

With this physique combined with three classes, Li En had finally become a true powerhouse with his own combat system.

He looked in the mirror; at least now there were no obvious changes in his appearance, and no second head had clearly appeared.

But Li En could feel that another line of thought was operating at more than ten times the speed, and it was very likely its computing power was far higher than his own.

"Two extra horns." Beneath the tips of his hair, two small pale-red horns had appeared; if one did not look closely, they would go unnoticed.

And in each of his two palms, a super-miniature "scale" had appeared, which was pale-white crystal.

"Psionic outlets?"

These were the psionic outlets Ku Ku had promised; in the end, they were decided to be placed in the palms to avoid wear and tear during collisions.

But it also seemed convenient for him to use them for ambushes.

Li En closed his eyes; the state of his body and spirit he felt was worlds apart from before he went to sleep.

"Where are Miss Shaliman and the others?"

Once he confirmed his condition was very good, Li En naturally turned his attention to the current situation.

He had unknowingly slept for three days; how was the ambassadorial delegation? Where were Miss Shaliman and the others?

"They have already left two days ago; they might have already arrived." Hearing this, Li En nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

He did not think it strange that they had left him behind; after all, the ambassadorial delegation was in a hurry to return and report, and waiting here for three days was pointless.

And Purple Miss Zi Qiangwei staying behind to wait for him had already surprised him; she must have been very busy too.

"The condition of the two juniors is very poor; they probably need further treatment. There is nothing else here, but there are truly many priests." She also sighed; she had worked overtime quite a bit these days and truly could not leave.

Now that things had stabilized somewhat, she finally had more time to attend to her own matters.

"Hey, hey, Li En little brother, don't say such boring things; now is a rare date time carved out! Look at me more, okay?" The girl was a bit annoyed that the man always talked about work.

After finishing breakfast, Li En was already dragged by Purple Miss Zi Qiangwei onto the street. Having rarely come to the Underworld, and now with no pressure, naturally he should see more of the Underworld's specialties.

Of course, the main reason was that Li En owed Purple Miss Zi Qiangwei quite a bit; now that he had time, he naturally fulfilled the agreement to "go on a date when there is time."

As for when the agreement was made, Li En did not remember; but for now, it seemed, he felt he had promised.

"Does this necklace look good?" While Li En was still recalling when he had promised, Purple Miss Zi Qiangwei dragged him to the next shop.

"It looks good."

"Does this dress look good?" As she spoke, the girl held it up against herself and spun around.

"It looks good."

Li En was clearly not someone who enjoyed accompanying girls shopping; most of the time, he just perfunctorily agreed with "okay, okay, okay."

He wasn't lying either; he truly couldn't distinguish the difference between the "Secret Spider Pattern" and the "Scattered Point Spider Pattern," nor did he understand the theological meanings inside those small sculptures. Anyway, they all had a very exotic flavor and all looked quite good.

Yet even with this perfunctory praise, Purple Miss Zi Qiangwei was very happy, and quite decisively let Li En buy everything, storing it all in her unknown-capacity space small bag.

For this date, Purple Miss Zi Qiangwei wanted Li En to pay, considering it thanks for her efforts. Li En smiled and directly agreed.

This time, because the other party had made a huge profit, and their service for him made him feel a bit at a loss for how to respond, spending some money now made him feel at ease.

But along the way, the girl only looked at small shops where ordinary people entered; those small items calculated in copper coins made Li En feel a bit embarrassed to buy.

"This wooden zither..."

"It looks very good, buy it."

"Does this ring look good?"

"Good, wait a second, don't tell me I guessed the meaning right, what does your pout mean!"

Almost, Li En had bought the ring for Purple Miss Zi Qiangwei.

And the failure made her sullenly kick a small stone on the road. Li En sucked in a cold breath; could it be she wasn't teasing me, but was serious all along?

But very quickly, she cheered up again and happily dragged Li En to the next date location.

Having finally driven Miss Shaliman away, such a good opportunity could not be wasted.

The date continued until after dinner, when Purple Miss Zi Qiangwei had to go treat two juniors again.

By night, looking at the empty house and Kusla like a doll, Li En also felt a certain inexplicable emptiness.

"Sleep early..." Today, he didn't want to read books or cultivate, so he simply went to sleep early.

He originally thought he would have a dreamless night, until midnight, when a somewhat strange sound seemed to...

"Uh."

Suddenly, he felt a sensation as if a ghost was pressing on his bed.

He suddenly opened his eyes, seeing two slender orange-yellow snake eyes in the darkness... instantly waking him up, but the next moment, he smelled a familiar floral scent and relaxed.

"Miss Zi Qiangwei?"

"Mm, it's me."

Li En had just put his heart at ease, but after just a glance, he was completely terrified awake!

This outfit, how could it be so cool? This isn't even two pieces of cloth!

He tried to reach out to block it, yet still couldn't move.

Then, seeing the girl crawling into the quilt, he was even more terrified, his soul scattered.

"Wait!!" Li En wondered if he was dreaming; how could such a thing happen!

"Not waiting!" For the first time, Purple Miss Zi Qiangwei refused Li En's request, and there was a hint of grievance in her tone.

"Am I not good to you? Why refuse me..." The girl's tone now had a crying edge.

"I'm not refusing you... our feelings aren't deep enough yet; at least date a few more times." At this moment, Li En's inexperience was revealed without doubt.

"Do it for a few more days, and there will be feelings!" Hearing Li En didn't refuse her, the crying edge instantly vanished, and Purple Miss Zi Qiangwei revealed her happy true voice!

How could she stop? Once the news got back, surely a whole bunch of competitors would appear!

Get her first, then talk about feelings!

Once a snake sets its sights on prey, it won't hesitate for a single moment!

Swallow it whole, and naturally no one can snatch it away!

"Wait, not a few times, but a few days?!" Li En's final wail sounded quite powerless.

And his resistance after gaining freedom afterwards seemed to lack much sincerity.
