Chapter 792: Chapter 642, damn, another cliffhanger. Chapter 792: Chapter 642, damn, another cliffhanger. “Wu Heng is fine, right? He looks worse than last time,” Bella said, looking at Wu Heng with some concern.
“It's okay. Uncle is used to it. It just hurts a bit, nothing dangerous,” Xiao Xiao said.
Bella then flew to Lady Glenda's side. “Lady Glenda, should we inform the maids?”
“No need, they wouldn't be of much help if they came in,” Glenda said.
Seeing that both of them said so, Bella didn't say anything more.
She just floated on the side, with a look of worry in her eyes.
The dizziness that made the world spin gradually subsided, and Wu Heng also slowly came to.
Unlike the physical pain caused by ordinary Strengthening Potions, mental pain felt as though the soul itself was being stirred.
He let out a heavy breath and sat up straight in the chair again.
Looking at Bella in front of him, he said, “Don't worry. It's the normal effect.”
Xiao Xiao and Glenda had been quite nervous the first time they saw him using the potion.
As the number of times increased, they got used to it.
Besides, ghosts wouldn't be much help in this situation.
“It's good that you're okay,” Bella nodded, flew back to Xiao Xiao's side, and continued to watch the movie on the tablet.
Wu Heng took out two Spirit Potions and drank them down.
Waiting for the discomfort in his mind to disappear, he checked the traits he had just unlocked.
[Hostility Detection]: Keen perception of hostility and malice.
The description was brief, but fairly clear.
He could capture the hostility and malice directed at him.
This ability seemed to fall into the category of Perception.
Moreover, it was somewhat similar to the level 18 Prophet's [Domain Prophecy], which could foresee imminent dangers.
His [Hostility Detection] certainly wasn't as powerful, but if someone held hostility towards him, he could sense it, acting as a form of early warning.
From Wu Heng's perspective, abilities awakened through mental means seemed to be better than those awakened through Strengthening Potions.
After all, as a mage, he relied mainly on his skeleton attendants for close combat.
He glanced at Xiao Xiao not far away, thinking about having her secretly watch over him to test his ability.
But then he thought better of it.
He could sense ghosts on his own, and with his own ghosts involved, it was very difficult to generate any hostility.
He closed the panel and looked again at the remaining two Strengthening Potions.
Picking up one, he took off the cork and drank it down straight away.
The bone-scraping pain attacked him again.
Cold sweat poured down as his body curled up.
This time, Bella just glanced over without flying over to ask as she had at the beginning.
[Constitution +2, Strength +3, Agility +3.]
The system notification appeared, and the side effects gradually receded.
Wu Heng continued to take a Healing Potion to relieve the burden on his body.
After resting for about five minutes, he opened the last potion and poured it down his throat.
His body tensed up again as he clenched his teeth to endure the pain.
[Constitution +3, Strength +2, Agility +3.]
The system notification appeared.
His attributes increased, but no new abilities were unlocked.
That was fine; unlocking one trait with three potions was already not bad.
The last two potions had both enhanced his Constitution-related attributes.
He was feeling like he might surpass his Intelligence soon.
He opened the panel again and looked at his attributes.
[Name: Wu Heng]
[Level: 19 (174538/355000)]
[Fame: 19 (3142/66000)]
[Attributes: Strength 53, Agility 41, Constitution 60, Intelligence 56, Perception 37, Charm 36.]
Looking at his attributes, Wu Heng's brows arched.
“`
The experience points at the level had reached 170,000, which was already close to half of what was needed to level up.
The Skeleton Army that was dispatched still had a rather significant effect.
It was estimated that within a month, the experience points would be filled.
The reputation had become 3,101, simply unable to keep up with the pace of the experience points.
Still, a solution had to be found.
As for attributes, Constitution had reached the highest at 60.
One's body had grown to a terrifying extent, and in the future, any exposure to toxins would have a significantly reduced impact.
The second highest was Intelligence at 56 points, signifying that one was still a Mage, with attributes not diverging too much.
After that, Strength and Agility came next, which would also be helpful in dealing with crises and emergencies.
In any case, all were quite good.
After consuming the potion, Wu Heng also stood up.
“I'm going to rest.” Wu Heng said to the three Ghosts beside him.
The three Ghosts nodded.
“Goodnight.”
“Goodbye, Uncle.”
“Have a good rest, don't wear yourself out.”
Wu Heng smiled and nodded, walked out of the study, and returned to his bedroom to rest.
The excitement of the exhibition continued, and today was the day the new edition of the newspaper was released.
For the common residents of the island, the exhibition was simply an additional place to join in the bustling excitement amidst their mundane lives.
Exquisitely carved goblets and brightly colored, luxurious wool carpets, these were made for those noble lords.
They didn't have much to do with ordinary people.
Even the pens and watches later released by the Island Master were priced out of reach for the commoners.
But today's newspaper was different.
The release of the newspaper was like a storytelling session every seven days.
Free of charge and regardless of social status, everyone could hear the thrilling stories.
On this day, everyone had the same topic of conversation.
“Extra, extra, the latest edition of the newspaper is hot off the press! Detailed list of exhibit samples, the newest warships of Gold and Silver Island destroying a large Pirate Group, and the latest Great Detective story… take a look, check it out!”
The newspaper boy's voice echoed through the streets.
Waiting Bards and residents rushed forward, scrambling to buy the newspapers.
Golden Sail Tavern.
Saban, wearing a black wig and dressed in a dark blue close-fitting robe, stood on a wooden platform, loudly narrating the latest edition of the newspaper.
This attire was also an imitation of Island Master Wu Heng's style.
One reason was the costume he practiced in, and the second was to add a sense of immersion for the patrons.
“On the night of his death, the Sedius brothers were both by his side when suddenly, Major Shulto exclaimed with a quivering hand pointing toward the window.”
“The Sedius brothers hurriedly looked back, seeing on the window pane a stretched, fierce face.”
“Commander Shulto was so startled that he passed away before he could reveal the location of the treasure.”
“The next morning, they found the bedroom window open, all the cabinets and chests had been rummaged through, and a piece of torn paper was nailed on the box with 'four signatures' written on it.”
As Saban finished the last sentence, he bowed slightly and stepped down from the platform.
Only then did the silent, attentive patrons realize the story had come to an end.
They cursed loudly.
“Damn it! It's over again.”
“Dammit, he's left us hanging…”
“Shameless!”
The harbor.
A captain preparing to set sail stood on a wooden crate, shouting loudly.
“Be careful with these, they are headed to the headquarters of the Association; keep them in the dry cargo hold.”
Below, the workers were moving the sealed newspapers and books, transporting them onto the ship.
