10: Detect attributes, explosion!

"Shen Bei, if you weren't so obsessed with money, I wouldn't believe it for a second."

"You're really something, you even charge me to escort me home!"

Jian Tong chattered on ahead, muttering incessantly.

Shen Bei rolled his eyes.

He hadn't worked all day, and he finally had a chance; if he didn't turn Jian Tong into an employer, he would feel uncomfortable.

Of course, Shen Bei wouldn't speak his mind, but instead changed his tune:

"What you're saying is heartless."

Shen Bei continued, deadpan: "Look, you'll have to marry someone, right? Besides me, who else could you choose?"

Jian Tong immediately stopped.

She stiffly turned her head to look at Shen Bei, a look of surprise on her face, her narrow eyes flickering: "You haven't lost your mind, have you? Me, like you?"

"Otherwise, why didn't you let other classmates escort you home?"

"You're thinking too much!"

Jian Tong's face flushed slightly, her nostrils flared rapidly, and she glared at Shen Bei, her eyes full of shame and indignation. She stomped her foot, then turned and continued walking.

"Back to the main topic."

Shen Bei caught up, continuing: "What do you think I'm working for now? Isn't it to save up for a bride price?"

Jian Tong's gaze suddenly narrowed: "You're even earning money off me?"

"This shows that I can find business opportunities anywhere, anytime."

"I'll just spray you to death with a mouthful of salty soda!"

...

The two walked home.

The setting sun cast an orange warmth upon them.

Today, Jian Tong's thin apron did not conceal her exquisite figure at all; instead, it added a hazy beauty.

The massive, towering Grandmaster Mountain caused the fabric across her chest to form a breathtaking curve.

Her three thousand strands of black hair were casually draped, falling to her full, peachy rear.

The most wonderful thing was that as Jian Tong walked, her waist unconsciously swayed slightly, full of allure.

Shen Bei followed behind Jian Tong.

Watching Jian Tong's graceful figure, the breeze caressed her clothes, fresh flowers added fragrance for her, and the morning sun added brilliance for her.

Heaven and earth were her backdrop; all beautiful things in the world seemed to lose their color before her.

How could a beauty merely be city-toppling and nation-toppling? She could even topple heaven, earth, and all creation.

The two passed a park and even went in to sit for a while.

Jian Tong took off her shoes and played in the pond with her feet.

This stimulated Shen Bei quite a bit.

The most exquisite, of course, were her delicate feet.

They were fair and translucent, charming and adorable, with perfect arches, tender pink soles, and curled toes like neatly arranged pearls. Without nail polish, they were still incredibly pink and tender, soft as cotton and cool as snow, as if she had only ever walked through the clear springs flowing deep within the Tianshan Mountains. They were a masterpiece of craftsmanship, and also a wonderful gift in the bedchamber.

Truly wonderful.

Shen Bei wiped his nosebleed, his belief and determination to become a Martial Artist growing stronger.

After a short wait, the two continued on their way.

The two argued and bickered all the way home.

Soon, Shen Bei escorted Jian Tong to her doorstep.

Jian Tong said with some reluctance, "Thank you."

"Don't thank me, we agreed on fifty yuan, time to pay up."

Jian Tong's clear, transparent eyes gazed at him, containing some strange emotions: "You're such a spoilsport!"

She took out her wallet, pulled out a hundred-yuan note, and tossed it to Shen Bei.

"Here's an extra fifty, consider it my tip for you."

"Generous!" Shen Bei chuckled: "If this bride price isn't enough to marry you, when you give your wedding gift, I'll deduct fifty for you, I definitely won't let you lose out."

Jian Tong: ...

Shen Bei even checked if it was real.

Jian Tong watched, speechless: "They're all real, can't you be less vulgar?"

Shen Bei scoffed, pocketing the money: "You live a carefree life, you have everything you want. I have to go out and earn it myself. We're not from the same world."

"Well said!"

At this moment, Jian Shan walked out of the villa, his face half-ugly, half-pleased, like a Yin and Yang person.

The ugly part was that his daughter was with Shen Bei again, giving him the feeling that his cabbage was about to be snatched.

The pleased part was that Shen Bei still had some self-awareness.

"Knowing yourself, that's the first step in life."

"Dad!" Jian Tong's face darkened: "How can you say that?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, right, Shen Bei?"

Shen Bei nodded: "But as the old saying goes, 'thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the—'"

"River your ghost!" Jian Tong held her forehead, directly interrupting him.

Jian Shan, however, said: "I can understand Shen Bei's meaning, 'one cannot judge a book by its cover, nor measure the sea with a dipper,' but the path of a Martial Artist won't wait for you for thirty years."

"How about this?" Jian Shan suggested: "We happen to have testing equipment at home. Shen Bei, come and test it, how many 'thirty years' will you need?"

Shen Bei smacked his lips and shook his head: "No thanks, I have something to do at home."

He really did have something to do!

He still had to earn a million.

Jian Tong pulled Shen Bei: "Come on, I'll treat you to some sweet soup."

Shen Bei: ...

Shen Bei also wanted to test his attribute values after the rewards of the past two days.

Entering the house.

Without another word, he went straight to the equipment.

Jian Shan's intention was clear: let Shen Bei test himself, recognize the gap between him and Jian Tong, and stay away from his daughter.

Jian Tong, on the other hand, was thinking about the possibility of Shen Bei becoming her boyfriend.

Jian Tong was a person with strict standards.

If he wasn't a Martial Artist, she'd rather remain a widow.

The testing method for the equipment was a bit complex.

First, for the strength attribute, he had to punch a soft pad in front of him to get a numerical reading.

Shen Bei clenched his fist, swung his arm in a circle, and shouted.

He threw a punch.

Bang~~

The numbers on the display started to jump.

Finally, it stopped at 16 points!

As this number appeared, Jian Tong let out a loud cry, like a chestnut falling into a charcoal fire, bursting into pieces from the inside out.

"What are you yelling about?" Jian Shan snapped.

In Jian Shan's opinion, wasn't this number quite normal?

But Jian Tong, with wide, glistening eyes, said: "Dad, his last test, his strength attribute was only 10 points!"

"What!"

Jian Shan's face trembled upon hearing this.

From 10 points to 16 points?

This data was too terrifying!

One must know that every increase in an attribute point was a rare and extremely difficult thing to achieve.

Most Martial Artists needed to take Medicinal Pills to increase their attributes.

Or constantly temper themselves.

But tempering was much slower than taking Medicinal Pills.

Therefore, in this world, you might not find a public restroom, but pharmacies were everywhere.

"Is this kid's family very rich?" Jian Shan asked incredulously.

"He even charges me to escort me home, how could he have money to buy expensive Medicinal Pills?"

Jian Tong's single sentence left Jian Shan dumbfounded.

Good heavens!

Then this attribute growth was too fast!

Where was the need for 'thirty years east of the river,' when it changed in three days!

Jian Shan thought of a phrase: 'accumulating strength for a big burst'!

Next, Shen Bei began to test his spiritual attribute.

This required two magnetic patches on his temples.

Then he put on a helmet.

The helmet would display some stimulating images for advancement.

Soon.

Shen Bei's attribute results came out.

14 points!

Jian Tong's eyes widened, and she exclaimed: "From 11 points to 14 points!"

Jian Shan's gaze was flustered: "This also increased?"

Jian Tong nodded affirmatively.

"Truly incredible!" Jian Shan said with a tone of considerable shock.

Subsequently.

Shen Bei tested his agility.

Agility was like playing a game on a panel, where flashing images would appear.

He had to eliminate them in time.

At the same time, images would also appear on the ground, which he couldn't step on and had to avoid.

It could be said that the agility attribute was, to a certain extent, linked to the spiritual attribute.

Not long after.

Shen Bei's agility attribute value appeared before the three of them.

12 points!

"This increase isn't much, from 10 points to 12 points."

Although Jian Tong's tone was calm, her heart was quite excited.

Who would have thought that this smelly boy, Shen Bei, was actually hiding his true abilities.

"That's still not bad."

Jian Shan was already numb with shock.

Without taking Medicinal Pills, to increase attributes so much, this was a Prodigy!

There was one final Physique test.

Jian Tong didn't even take this test; she would only do so during the Martial Arts Exam.

Because...

It was quite painful!

And at this moment, Shen Bei had already taken his stance, ready to undergo the Physique test!
