LWGP - Chapter 90

Chapter 90: Talent Report

The place Wang Jiu walked over to was an empty plot of land, though wherever she went became an empty plot of land anyway—the people of 443 Novice Village were all afraid of her, running faster than rabbits.

However, this dark, empty plot soon ceased to be dark, because she threw down the Homestead.

After expanding it by 20 square meters, she went inside and placed the Garden Fields. It was indeed crowded; 20 square meters wasn't enough. Wang Jiu stood before the 15 cramped Garden Fields and fell into deep thought.

System: "What are you thinking? So you have moments of fear too. Afraid that the person with 500 in all attributes will out-damage you? Or are you really afraid of developing an indescribable relationship with that little wolf dog?"

Wang Jiu: "No, I was thinking that if I killed Wang Shu, I wonder how much of his 180 square meters I could randomly absorb. It should be enough for the fields, right?"

System: "..."

You're not raising a disciple, you're raising a pig.

Killing the disciple to make room for land.

Quite the catchy slogan.

The System could only reply: "Think about your Old Lady. Try to control yourself."

Oh, right. Fine.

Giving up on killing her disciple, Wang Jiu checked the timers on the other 5 Garden Fields, then planted perilla grass in the current 10 plots. In an hour, she could harvest them all together.

"But you were wrong about something just now."

System: "?"

Wang Jiu: "I'm never afraid of developing an indescribable relationship with anyone, man or woman. What I care about is—he wants to compete with me for the territory's development Order."

The so-called territory development Order sounded quite official. The System understood instantly. "You're afraid he'll redeem a territory faster than you and pull all the people in first?"

Wang Jiu: "Of course. A territory is a territory, but it must have people, right? I value these people, so naturally, I'm not willing to hand them all over to Xie Lu. Especially since it was my team. He can forget about it."

With all due respect, you've already scared them to tears. And you dare say you value them?

Wang Jiu could see that Xie Lu's attributes were all around 500, so she was certain he had also cleared a normal-difficulty dungeon. But for him to leave the capital and descend upon Luoyang, he must have been sent on an urgent mission with two objectives.

1. Help stabilize the local situation. If Luoyang lacked a powerful leader, his arrival would be of great benefit to the area.

2. Preserve the central government's control over the region, preventing the motherland from fracturing while transportation is cut off.

But this made him similar to Wang Jiu. They were both lone wolves. They both needed people—not just anyone, but the most elite individuals in Luoyang.

"Simple and Normal are fine, but Dangerous and Nightmare can't be conquered with mere skill. He was busy running dungeons today, so he probably hasn't found teammates who meet his requirements for Dangerous and Nightmare difficulties. So, seeing that I've already assembled a team, he wanted to take a shortcut. Even if he can't be the leader, once a Dangerous or Nightmare dungeon is cleared, a quarter of the reputation should be enough for him to redeem a territory."

Among the people Wang Jiu had gathered, even the weakest, Liao Luo, had average attributes over 100, not to mention the others. Xie Lu had his eye on them.

System: "Even so, he probably can't redeem it as fast as you. Are you still afraid of him?"

Wang Jiu: "Judging by his state, he's probably stuck at 60 reputation like me. Otherwise, if he were only short 10 or 20, he could spend some time tomorrow finding an uncleared Simple dungeon and might not be any slower than me. I'm not afraid of him, but I want to suppress his speed. At least until I've filled my territory with people."

System: "I thought you liked him that much."

Wang Jiu: "I do like him, but that doesn't stop me from preventing him from harming my interests."

That was very Wang Jiu.

While chatting, Wang Jiu finished planting the seeds and used the Upgrade Scroll.

What did she use it on?

The Fish Abyss Badge?

No, it was the Azure Serpent Emblem.

The System had been so engrossed in their conversation that it hadn't noticed her actions and was quite surprised. "You're not using it on the Fish Abyss Badge? If it upgrades to Gold, your attributes could easily soar past an average of 500."

Wang Jiu tapped a finger on the parchment-like Upgrade Scroll. "Look at this attribute."

Upgrade Scroll (Low-Grade)

Attribute: Has a certain probability of upgrading equipment tier, but is full of uncertainty.

"Although Bronze and Silver are both low tiers right now, I remember other special items with descriptions mentioning uncertainty usually say 'a certain' amount of uncertainty. But this one says 'full of.' I reckon its success rate isn't high, and against a Silver item, the success rate would be even lower. It's better to play it safe and use it on the Bronze item, since it's the lowest tier of a growth item."

She had always paid close attention to the information in the System's notes. After all, the Dog System was inhuman, and there were traps everywhere.

The System was silent for a moment. "Your personality is interesting. On one hand, you're extremely calm, yet you love taking extreme risks, like dealing with those people tonight. But on the other hand, when faced with benefits, you're extremely cautious and restrained."

Even a steady person like Zhao Shanxiao had planned this failed high-stakes gamble out of greed.

One of the root causes was this Upgrade Scroll.

But she was completely different from him.

Faced with the System's words, which could be either a compliment or a jab at how twisted she was, Wang Jiu's reaction was placid. "He wanted to protect his foundation and didn't bring many puppets. I have six puppets and could have fought them all day. It was a guaranteed win. How can you call that a risk? Your System's calculation ability isn't very good. Stop learning slang like 'little wolf dog' online and go read some useful books."

The scorned System: "!!"

Fuck!

Just then, the white light from the used Upgrade Scroll enveloped the Azure Serpent Emblem. The white light quickly transformed into a silver glow.

Ding, upgrade successful.

Bronze -> Silver.

Azure Serpent Emblem +1 (Silver-grade growth type, and the upgrade has activated the badge's Brand skill.)

Attribute: All attributes +20

Skill: Brand. Remembers an opponent's heat signature out of resentment, allowing tracking and positioning within a one-kilometer range.

Badges were indeed king!

Nice!

However, the enhancement level was too low. She quickly went into the house. She couldn't go to the river anymore, so she used a small basin of water to wipe off the blood and grime that had once again stained her body.

System: Let me guess, you're going to change into your battle robes.

"No, I'm just going to sleep."

Wang Jiu changed into her pajamas, sat on the bed, and started smashing enhancements.

It was the same old routine, rapidly rotating between the two badges and two accessories.

Two minutes later, all 70 stones were consumed.

Azure Serpent Emblem +5, Fish Abyss Badge +5 (no change), Old Lady's Necklace +7, and Bronze Small Ring +7.

In terms of attributes, they provided all attributes +80, +80, +60, and +60, respectively.

Coupled with exchanging all her other bronze equipment for top-grade versions, Wang Jiu's attributes had been revamped. Additionally, the previous building fusion was successful, granting her 100 spirit. The furniture made from Metasequoia with 20 spirituality provided another 30 spirit. However, learning skills had cost 100 spirit. After all the additions and subtractions, her current attributes were as follows.

HP: 67

Spirit Power: 350 (Permanent Spirit Energy: 450)

Strength: 540

Agility: 560

Stamina: 470

Then, two new systems were unlocked.

1. Profession System.

2. Social System.

The reason Wang Jiu didn't care about the Social System was that she valued the Profession System. The System reminded her that she still hadn't completed the first priority after unlocking the Profession System.

System: "Given that you have reached level 10 and successfully embarked on the path of a profession, on this long and slow journey, are you currently willing to follow the System's guidance, allowing the System to analyze your big data to unearth the most glorious and brilliant professional talent of your life on the path of the wilderness?"

If this were a peaceful world, most people would be reluctant to expose their big data. But in a survival game... Wang Jiu felt she probably had no privacy to speak of anymore.

She estimated this was a necessary step. So, while organizing the other three items from her five-pull, Wang Jiu selected confirm.

System: "The results will be out in five minutes. Please wait."

Wang Jiu used these five minutes to inspect the three items.

1. Anti-Exposure Sexy Fashion (Permanent)

2. System's Graceful Little Treasure.

3. Emergency Healing Red Potion (Ten bottles)

Honestly, Wang Jiu was very dissatisfied with these three items.

The Fatty's Lucky Wheel gave him a 180-square-meter mansion. What was this?

Probably even the value of Blood Wrath and the Slave White Paper combined couldn't compare to that Fatty's prize.

Wang Jiu felt she wasn't just sour; she wanted to explode!

Just look at these attributes.

Anti-Exposure Sexy Fashion.

Attribute: A permanent, non-attribute fashion item. Its function is to conceal the effects of clothing, providing a unified, fixed appearance. It will not be damaged or dropped.

Please tell me, what is the use of this?!!

System: "It's very useful. In case you fight in your underwear or bra, it can prevent exposure."

Am I the kind of person who fights in her underwear and bra?!

System: "Yes."

Wang Jiu: "..."

Wang Jiu casually tossed the fashion item into her inventory, as she hadn't decided whether to use it or sell it yet.

Next was the System's Graceful Little Treasure.

"This is for gold coins? If this doesn't have 100 gold coins, it's an insult to its prefix."

System: "Not necessarily gold coins. It could also be a special item. Depends on luck."

The Lucky Wheel itself was luck-based, and within that luck, you still needed more luck.

This was a game of nesting boxes.

Resigned, Wang Jiu casually opened it.

Wow, a dazzling golden light flashed. In her excitement, the light faded, and then she saw 5 gold coins.

Wang Jiu: "..."

She had been humiliated.

The System felt it might be made a cuckold by the Lao Wang next door again. Fortunately, the five minutes were up.

"Ding! Congratulations, your professional talent report is out. Please review it and select three Order elements. This will help the system provide a certain bias in future rewards."

Wang Jiu's attention was indeed diverted. "Does that mean if my talent is a warrior, it will give me warrior-like class skills?"

System: "Something like that, but there's only a 10-20% bias."

That was good enough. It was better than not getting what she wanted.

If it was all up to luck... she'd have to reincarnate.

Wang Jiu began to review her professional talent report.

The professional talent report was as follows.

Talent Elements: A doctor with extraordinary skill who has saved countless lives, Capitalist, Goddess, Fairy, Actress, Heart-stealing Arsonist, Fox Spirit, Sea King, Scum, Degenerate, Black Widow, Mountain Ghost, A Witch's Sacrifice.

Wang Jiu stared at it for a long while before asking seriously, "Does this talent report of yours also handle slander and insults?"

Her tone was too dangerous. The System coughed. "It's not the System's fault. You just have too many attributes. A whole thirteen of them."

So you are insulting me.
