Lena’s Ambition
Just as he sent Hao Meng away, his mother called him.
“Little Shi, did you get any results from today’s blind date?”
Ning Shi had planned to tell his mother that the woman was his classmate and that the blind date was a misunderstanding.
But on second thought, if he told her the truth and his mother had to arrange a new blind date, he might as well just let the mistake pass.
“Today’s blind date was very good. I like it very much. The woman is also very satisfied with your son. We have already added each other on WeChat. We will continue to communicate in the future.”
“Really? That’s great!”
“It’s true. To not let the woman misunderstand, don’t arrange blind dates in the future. I will work harder and try to take her down.”
His mother hung up the phone in satisfaction, and Ning Shi also got a short period of peace.
As for Hao Meng’s side, she was his old classmate anyway. If there was any misunderstanding, he could explain it to her face in the future.
After settling the trivial matters of life, Ning Shi drove to the supermarket and bought a pile of dry rations and food.
Next, he had to focus on conquering the game world.
When he entered the game again, it was already 2 p.m. As usual, he checked his log first.
[Avatar kills one wild boar. Experience points +10.]
[Avatar kills one wild boar. Experience points +10.]
….
[Avatar treats Lena to lunch. Character intimacy +2. Current character intimacy +72.]
[Avatar kills one wild boar. Experience points +10.]
The system hack was very efficient. In four hours, the avatar had already killed eight wild boars.
Ning Shi lay on the bed and clicked on the first perspective. He was completely immersed in the game world.
The sound of cicadas clicking and birds chirping could be heard in his ears. His nose was filled with the faint smell of vegetation.
This was in the forest.
Ning Shi was holding a bow. In the distance, a black wild boar had fallen into a trap. It fell into a big pit filled with wooden thorns. It kept wriggling, trying to crawl out from the bottom of the pit.
Unfortunately, the more it struggled, the faster it bled.
After a while, the wild boar died.
[One wild boar was killed. Experience points +10.]
There was only one wild boar left and then the butcher shop’s mission could be completed.
Ning Shi picked up his tools and set up a few more traps near the forest.
There were many wild boars in this forest. Soon, a wild boar fell into the trap.
Unfortunately, this wild boar was very alert. Just as it was about to fall into the trap, it turned its head and jumped out.
This trap had failed.
Ning Shi was not in a hurry. He quietly waited for the other traps to take effect. He was using a wooden arrow now, so he could not shoot through the thick fur of the wild boar.
He could only rely on the trap to kill the wild boar.
Ning Shi turned around to look for herbs. After spending more than half an hour and finding 20 herbs, another wild boar fell into the trap.
[Killed one wild boar. Experience points +10.]
[Hunter level increased to Level 5 (0/500), skill point +1, potential point +1.]
He had levelled up again! Ning Shi continued to add potential points to his physique. His physique had reached 9 points, which was infinitely close to the limit of an ordinary human.
Ning Shi pulled the willow longbow in his hand. He felt that this bow was too soft and could not display his strength.
Even though his physique had only increased by one point from 8 to 9 points, it was still a huge improvement to his body.
The points in this game were not linear. The further one went, the stronger the effect of the points.
As for the skill points, Ning Shi still kept them for the time being. He would decide to add more points after the subsequent missions.
After the wild boar killing mission was completed, Ning Shi did not go down the mountain. Instead, he searched for herbs on the mountain.
It was not until the sun was about to set that Ning Shi collected 100 sets of beginner herbs.
“The king asked me to patrol the mountain~” Ning Shi hummed a song as he returned to Black Bear Village. He first went to the butcher’s shop and the pharmacy to hand in the missions.
[“Meat Requirement” completed. Experience points +300.]
[“Herb Crisis” completed: Experience points +100. Obtained three armor-piercing arrows from the owner’s collection.]
This mission was not bad. He had obtained 400 experience points in one go and three armor-piercing arrows. With the armor-piercing arrows, he could also try long-range shooting against wild boars.
Moreover, wild boars were sold for 3 silver coins each and one set of beginner medicinal herbs was sold for 10 copper coins each. Ning Shi had earned 40 silver coins in one go, filling up his treasury.
After completing the mission, it was time for dinner. Ning Shi chose to log out of the game.
He had a full lunch and cooked a bowl of instant noodles for dinner. After finishing his dinner, Ning Shi returned to the game.
After regaining control of the avatar, Ning Shi found himself sitting in the tavern.
Sitting opposite him was a beautiful lady with blue eyes and red lips.
The system had always been like this. Ning Shi was helpless. After logging out for a while, the avatar found Lena and brought her to the tavern.
“Ning Shi, the dishes haven’t been served yet. It’s too boring to just sit here. Let’s arm wrestle!”
With 72 points of intimacy, Lena had already regarded Ning Shi as her best friend. She raised her healthy arm and said with a smile.
Lena’s skin color was a healthy wheat color. It was obvious that she was someone who had been training all year round. However, her arms were round and slender, with only shallow muscle lines. She did not have a strong sense of strength.
Ning Shi was not interested in games that were not challenging.
[Mission: “Lena’s Challenge”. Defeat Lena In arm wrestling.]
The system issued a mission. Ning Shi was helpless and said, “I will do my best in everything I do. I won’t show mercy just because you are a woman.”
After saying that, he stretched out his thick arm and put it on the table.
Lena didn’t say anything. She also stretched out her arm and grabbed Ning Shi’s palm. She was nearly 1.8 meters tall and was sitting on a chair. She wasn’t much shorter than Ning Shi. It wouldn’t be unfair if both of them were sitting and arm wrestling.
Lena’s face was full of confidence as she said loudly, “I’ll count to three. Let’s use our strength together. Three! Two! One! Begin!”
The two of them used their strength together, and Ning Shi instantly became alert.
Because Lena’s wrist was emitting a very strong force.
The wooden table kept shaking and the veins on Ning Shi’s arm bulged. Lena’s face was flushed red from holding it in.
The two of them were in a deadlock for two minutes. In the end, Ning Shi’s strength was still a little stronger and he pressed Lena’s wrist onto the table bit by bit.
Although he won, Ning Shi was still shocked. He was a man, so he was born with more strength.
Given that she’s a female, Lena was able to wrestle with him for so long, so her physique was probably close to the limit of a human. She might have already reached 10 points.
A female body was good at flexibility and agility. Lena’s agility and speed could probably beat Ning Shi.
“Ning Shi, I was right about you. You are the first man to beat me in arm wrestling. I have decided to give my pet black bear to you!”
[Completed mission “Lena’s Challenge”. Experience points +100, character intimacy +2. Awarded one black bear.]
[Hunter level increased to Level 6 (0/1000), skill point +1, potential point +1.]
He continued to save the skill points. The potential points were added to his physique. Ning Shi’s physique had reached 10 points!
10 points for physique was the limit of an ordinary human. Ning Shi felt his blood boiling, and his muscles contracting and bulging. Even his height had increased by 2 cm.
Such strength! Ning Shi felt that he could kill an ox with one punch!
Feeling the changes in Ning Shi’s body, Lena’s smile became even wider.
“Ning Shi, I can’t believe that you have reached the physique limit just like me. The Moen Continent is vast and boundless, and the bloodline is revered. Only by becoming a bloodline warrior can one break the shackles of the human body and enter the realm of transcendence.”
“Ever since I was young, I’ve yearned to become a superhero famous throughout the continent. I’ve trained hard until today and finally reached the limit of my physique. I’ve already prepared a bloodline potion. As long as I find a suitable magical beast, I can fuse with the magical beast bloodline and become a bloodline warrior!”
After personally interacting with Lena, Ning Shi finally understood why the system hack had chosen to get close to Lena.
Lena was very likely to be a hero template, with great potential for development in the future.
Ning Shi asked, “Isn’t your black bear a magical beast?”
Lena shook her head, “The black bear is a low-level magical beast. You can fuse with its bloodline, but I can’t. The black bear is a magical beast that grows in strength, and it doesn’t match my dexterity.”
“Moreover, the potential for the development of the black bear bloodline is low. In the known path of advancement, the black bear bloodline can only leap twice at most, reaching the level of a Level 3 bloodline warrior.”
“I’m a woman who wants to dominate the continent, so I wouldn’t choose such a low-level bloodline!”
Lena raised her proud head, looking very spirited. She wasn’t a bloodline warrior yet, but she had the aura to swallow mountains and rivers.
“I’ve found a wind-patterned python with great potential as my bloodline fusion target, but I’m not sure if I can defeat this magical beast alone. I want to ask for your help.”
[Mission: “Lena’s Ambition”. Help Lena obtain the wind-patterned python’s bloodline.]
“No problem. You can call me whenever you are ready.” Ning Shi agreed readily. He was very excited at this moment. He could finally come into contact with the transcendent power of the game world.
As long as his avatar became a bloodline warrior, his main body would also have the power of the bloodline.
[Ding! After coming into contact with the secrets of bloodline warriors, the Bloodline Synthesis Shop opens.]
Ning Shi did some research. The Bloodline Synthesis Shop could combine different kinds of bloodlines to improve the ability and potential of the bloodline.
The synthesis would not fail but it required potential points.
Only then did Ning Shi realize the importance of potential points. He decided to accumulate more potential points in the future.
Lena was very happy to receive Ning Shi’s promise. At the same time, the roasted lamb leg of the tavern was served on the table. Lena did not care about the heat. She tore the most tender part of the lamb leg and handed it to Ning Shi to express her gratitude.
Ning Shi did not stand on ceremony. He took it and ate it. The roasted lamb leg was superb. It was fresh, tender, juicy and full of fragrance. Together with the unique fruit wine of the tavern, the taste was amazing.
The meal cost Ning Shi 1 silver coin and he gained another 2 points of intimacy with Lena. The character’s intimacy reached 76 points.
According to the system’s notification, when the intimacy reached above 80 points, the success rate of confession was 100%. However, Ning Shi did not have such thoughts.
Right now, he was focused on levelling up, accumulating potential points and becoming a bloodline warrior as soon as possible.
After saying goodbye to Lena, Ning Shi wandered around the village for a long time.
The novice village was really good. There were many missions and Ning Shi was not picky. He found some missions that did not have a time limit and accepted five of them in one go.
[Blacksmith’s Hatred: Blacksmith Kobe’s youngest son, unfortunately, died in the tiger’s mouth. Please avenge him and kill that tiger!]
[Village Chief’s Thirst: Village Chief Grimm misses the taste of the monkey wine in the mountains. Help him brew a pot of monkey wine to quench his thirst.]
[Tailor’s Long Cherished Wish: Tailor Williams wants to sew an exquisite animal skin coat to prove his strength. Please sell him a beautiful animal skin.]
[Guard’s Request: The monkeys in the mountains have been invading the village. Please kill 100 monkeys to reduce the number of monkeys.]
[Taverns’ Delicacies: The tavern needs goats. Please kill 20 goats and sell them to the tavern.]
Some of these missions could be done together and they were perfect.
After accepting the missions, it was already past 10 p.m. Ning Shi returned to the stone house and chose to quit the game.
His avatar was logged in by the system and began to meditate.
