Chapter 174: Chapter 173: Overpowering by Force

October 10th, the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays, at noon, university dormitory building, room 604.

After a whole morning of cultivation, Zhang Yanhang’s Energy Value had successfully fully recovered. Although it was now noon, Zhang Yanhang didn’t go to the cafeteria for lunch primarily because he wasn’t very hungry yet.

The main reason, however, was that he wanted to immediately discuss the Dilophosaurus Potion with the group leader. It was now twelve o’clock noon, the exact time mentioned for communicating with the group leader.

Since his roommate hadn’t returned by noon, Zhang Yanhang simply locked the door and skillfully lay on his bed, then even more adeptly opened his phone and sent a message to the group leader.

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Are you there?"

After sending the message, Zhang Yanhang thought about browsing TikTok for a while, but suddenly found that the group leader had instantly replied to his message.

Curse Binding Vajra: "Yes!"

Zhang Yanhang felt that the group leader’s instant reply might be because he was really free at noon. Of course, it might also be because he had annoyed him with questions last time, which is why he replied immediately this time.

Zhang Yanhang began to think about how to phrase his question properly and only started replying after considering his wording.

On the other side, Gu Mingyue, after replying to the message, lay on the bed staring fiercely at the phone screen, hoping to respond to Zhang Yanhang the moment he replied. But after waiting for almost two minutes and seeing no response from him, she started to get increasingly irritated, "This guy, isn’t he thinking of replaying last time’s drama? That would be too despicable, right?"

After waiting another minute, Gu Mingyue finally received a reply from Zhang Yanhang, mainly because he had finally thought of an appropriate way to phrase it. Although he knew he would definitely succeed with the help of the options, Zhang Yanhang still felt he should be cautious.

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Group leader, do you have any Purple Quality Artifacts suitable for a First Tier Awakened that can permanently enhance the Agility attribute?"

Zhang Yanhang felt that his question had effectively limited the item he needed to a very narrow range. With such a degree of suggestion (or outright declaration), the group leader should immediately think of the Dilophosaurus Potion.

Curse Binding Vajra: "Why are you suddenly looking for this kind of thing?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Group leader, didn’t you say that maximizing the Main Attribute during a promotion can earn extra rewards? So, I thought about giving it a try to see if I could complete it."

Curse Binding Vajra: "Is Agility your Main Attribute?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Yes, Agility is one of my Main Attributes."

Although Zhang Yanhang found the group leader’s question a bit strange, he obediently answered. Agility indeed was one of his Main Attributes, although the others were already at twenty-five points each, only Agility remained unaddressed.

Curse Binding Vajra: "Haven’t you just entered the Ashen World? You’re advancing to Second Tier already?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "It’s been more than a week. If I don’t advance to Second Tier now, wouldn’t that be too slow?"

Curse Binding Vajra: "..."

Lying on the bed, Gu Mingyue looked at Zhang Yanhang’s response and inexplicably began to question her life. She couldn’t help recalling her own painful experiences when she first started breaking new ground in the Ashen World during the Early Stage of Spiritual Qi Recovery, "Has the new generation really become this fierce? Complaining about being slow after just over a week?"

"No, this guy is clearly showing off à la Versailles. Even though my rank is higher, why am I always being shown up by a newbie who just entered the Ashen World? This doesn’t feel right at all." Gu Mingyue felt she needed to assert her dominance as a veteran; how could she be constantly bullied by a newbie.

Curse Binding Vajra: "If you only enhance Agility, won’t the Attribute points acquired from leveling up be enough?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "It might indeed not be enough."

Zhang Yanhang only had a total of thirty-six attribute points right now. If he were to get promoted to the Second Tier and distribute these to the four main attributes, he would only be able to increase each attribute by about nine points, which indeed seemed a bit insufficient, even considering the equipment bonuses that would only add up to about twelve points.

Zhang Yanhang felt that in an ideal situation, right after getting promoted to Second Tier, he should be able to boost his attributes to over forty points to be deemed appropriate. If he could achieve this level, it would significantly improve his efficiency in hunting monsters, particularly those of the same tier and high-level monsters.

Curse Binding Vajra: "Normally, an Awakener gains four attribute points per level, and the Limitless Universe Skill also increases some attribute values. Logically, it should not be insufficient."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Ah? Only four attribute points?"

Curse Binding Vajra: "From the way you speak, could it be that you gain more attribute points when you level up?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "It might indeed be a bit more."

Curse Binding Vajra: "Then you’re just like me; I also gain five attribute points per level."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "?"

Curse Binding Vajra: "Why the question mark? Is there a problem?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "No, I just think there might be a bit of a misunderstanding between the two of us."

Curse Binding Vajra: "?"

Curse Binding Vajra: "You’re not going to tell me that you actually get more than five attribute points, are you?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "You’re thinking too much—how could it be more than five points? That’s not possible."

Curse Binding Vajra: "That’s good, because if you continued to boast like Versailles, I really wouldn’t be able to resist teleporting over there and hitting you."

Even though Zhang Yanhang claimed he only had five attribute points, Gu Mingyue’s intuition told her he was lying.

Thus, to avoid being continually outdone in boasting, she decided to wield the authority unique to a boss, which mainly involved overpowering others—after all, she didn’t really come up with anything other than strength that could reverse the bragging.

Curse Binding Vajra: "You already have so many attribute points, and you still think it’s not enough?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Yes, so, group leader, do you have any artifacts that can help me improve my Agility?"

Curse Binding Vajra: "I do have some, but they definitely won’t be free."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "I really wasn’t boasting."

Curse Binding Vajra: "It’s not because you keep boasting that I’m a bit upset right now and won’t give it to you for free."

Gu Mingyue remembered she still had a bottle of Purple Quality Dilophosaurus Potion, which was specifically meant to enhance the Agility attribute. She initially thought of saving it for her cousin, who was also currently a First Tier Awakened.

But suddenly, she thought maybe she could trade the potion for something even more useful, especially for Zhang Yanhang, a part-time Versailles Master and Lucky Awakened. Even though he was still only First Tier, he certainly must have some good items on hand.

The idea popping up in her mind was sudden also to Gu Mingyue, but logically speaking, it was still quite normal.
