Chapter 32: Increase IQ

Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Increase IQ

Dragon Country People were now incredibly happy, but conversely, some countries that had been bullying Dragon Country People were now quite depressed.

Because part of Dragon Country People’s happiness was built upon their misery.

Among them, Lighthouse Country was the first in line.

In the past, every time Dragon Country People lost, they had to endure the ruthless and piercing mockery and insults from Lighthouse Country.

But now, things were vastly different.

Out of the tradition of reciprocal courtesy, this gesture had to be repaid in full.

Thus, on various social media platforms in Lighthouse Country, wailing was everywhere.

Originally, Lighthouse Country People were already steadily suppressed online, and now that Dragon Country had won, what head could they raise in defiance!

As a result, all Lighthouse Country were being insulted solely by Dragon Country People!

They were angry but dared not speak; if they didn’t respond, things seemed fine, but once they tried to fight back, they were literally infuriated to the point of hospitalization.

Yet being mocked and insulted by Dragon Country People wasn’t the scariest part.

What truly instilled fear in Lighthouse Country was content like the following.

"Don’t you Dragon Country People overdo it! Do you know whose turf this is?"

As soon as Lighthouse Country People tried to fight back, the response they got completely stunned them.

"Hmph... ask for your own understanding."

"What are you, a tortoise? Think you’re so important, must you understand? A bunch of brats dyeing their hair yellow thinking they’re so damn cool."

"Wow, isn’t this amusing, calling themselves the bosses of Blue Star at Lighthouse, dumping rubbish into the sea along with those spineless Japan folks, what a bunch of crap seeds."

"?????"

If Lighthouse Country couldn’t understand, that would be one thing, but the problem was they found themselves in a state where they seemed to understand but also didn’t!

Why? It was their own language, so why had it become like this?

It wasn’t just simple insults; Dragon Country People had even played their language to perfection.

This made everyone in Lighthouse Country unable to accept that their language, which they had been using for hundreds of years, was now better used by Dragon Country People!

They felt fear, even fear of their own once-familiar language!

For Lighthouse Country, this was the ultimate insult!

However, unless they cut the entire Lighthouse Country’s internet, they couldn’t stop Dragon Country People.

Old grudges already existed, and with Xiao Yi not in the live stream at the moment, what could stop them? What could stop Dragon Country People!

Therefore, countless Lighthouse Country People let out such cries:

"Quack! Brother Xiao Yi, save us!"

...

"...? Where is this?"

Elsewhere, Xiao Yi looked at the pure white world before him, feeling confused.

"Mom... where’s Eve?" he asked.

However, no one answered him; only a voice that seemed to come from afar, yet was incredibly clear and soul-shaking, echoed inside Xiao Yi’s head.

[Congratulations on completing the highest difficulty instance ’Loving Family’ with a completion rate of 91%]

[Completion rate reward of 20%: Your physical fitness increases by five points]

[Completion rate reward of 40%: You receive ten free attribute points]

[Completion rate reward of 50%: The Chosen One can avoid death once when challenging an instance]

[Completion rate reward of 70%: You receive twenty free attribute points]

[Completion rate reward of 90%: Returning Original Device—Origin]

[Completion rate reward of 100%: ???]

"What’s this? How did it end up in my hand again?"

Xiao Yi looked at the Black Jade Dagger, also known as the Origin, that had suddenly appeared in his hand, puzzled, when he heard an extremely piercing sound, like that of a computer crashing.

[—————————]

[System error, system error...]

[You have acquired the special talent: First Rule’s Blessing]

[First Rule’s Blessing (special talent): A special talent, coming from her blessing, granting you the skill of Absolute Existence]

[Absolute Existence: Whether it’s annihilation, convergence, rewriting, or the power of rules, nothing can shake your existence here]

(Note: This is a blessing, or perhaps a curse. Once you enter the world of Analog Horror, your coordinates will continuously be transmitted to her)

"...?" Xiao Yi cocked his head, "What does that mean?"

Still utterly confused, Xiao Yi remembered Eve said they would meet again, so he decided not to dwell on it anymore.

After all, it wouldn’t be long before Eve appeared before him again, and she didn’t need Xiao Yi to worry about her.

What Xiao Yi needed to worry about now was how to leave this pure white space.

As Xiao Yi wandered lost in thought, an attribute panel appeared before his eyes.

[Chosen One: Xiao Yi]

[IQ: 6]

[Physical Fitness: 18]

[Skill: 2]

[Concentration: 9]

[Profession: Junior High School Researcher]

[Talent: SSS-grade Talent Abstract Reality, Special Talent First Rule’s Blessing]

[Skill: Absolute Existence (Tier: ???)]

[Note: 30 free attribute points available, please distribute]

"Please distribute? Does that mean I have to allocate these points before I can leave this white world?"

Xiao Yi nodded to himself and then decided to allocate all 30 free attribute points.

But as soon as he stretched out his finger to do so, he paused, befuddled. He had no idea what these character attributes meant.

The character attributes in Analog Horror were not the conventional ones like strength or agility, but instead, they were more comprehensive.

The usual attributes like strength, agility, endurance, and so on, were all combined into Physical Fitness.

Normally, training could improve these attributes simultaneously, so Physical Fitness simplified and consolidated them, making it easier to enhance.

Skill referred to all the knowledge required for a particular skill and the ability to perform that skill.

The higher the Skill attribute, the more knowledge of the skill one would acquire.

For instance, with 3 Skill points, one could master Lock Opening Skill and instantly know all about lock opening, enhancing the dexterity of one’s hands.

With 30 Skill points, one could master hacker technology, instantly know all programming languages and knowledge, and increase one’s keyboard typing speed to a divine level.

Concentration aggregated abilities such as Reflexes, spiritual power, Insight, and so on.

As for IQ, it was just IQ.

Normally, IQ would start at several dozen to a hundred points, which was very common, unlike other attributes where just ten or several dozen points were already quite impressive.

People with low IQ, even if they increased it by thirty points, wouldn’t see much change; for those with high IQ, adding another thirty points wouldn’t make a qualitative change either.

Unless a sufficiently large number was added, IQ wouldn’t change qualitatively, but free attribute points were extremely hard to come by.

In a way, IQ was the hardest attribute to increase.

All the character attributes were closely related to the challenges and clearing the Analog Horror instances.

And Xiao Yi, undoubtedly, could only make sense of the IQ attribute.

"IQ... 6?"

Seeing his IQ was only 6 points, Xiao Yi was immediately disgruntled.

"How can it only be 6 points? There’s something wrong with this."

Without any hesitation, Xiao Yi decided to add all his points to IQ.

However, as he was about to distribute his points, something unexpected happened.

"...Hm? Why can’t I add them!"

[Ding! System Notification: Due to talent limitations, the Chosen One’s IQ cannot be increased]

IQ cannot be increased!

This statement made Xiao Yi so angry that he threw the Origin onto the blank white ground with nothing on it.

"Baaah! Some crappy system, where does it get off having the authority to prevent me from adding IQ? Why?!"

But then Xiao Yi thought about it and instantly understood.

"Oh, I get it now. It must be because the highest IQ can only be 5 points, and I’ve already reached an exceptional 6 points, breaking the standard, so I can’t add any more."

Thinking this way, Xiao Yi instantly felt relieved and picked up the Origin again.

"That’s not strange at all, not strange at all."

As for the 18 points in Physical Fitness, which were just a few centimeters below the IQ on the panel, Xiao Yi had completely ignored it.
