Chapter 5: I’m Becoming a Monster
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
‘Should I say yes? That was the question. Should I go? That’s also the same question.’ Lin Shu pondered.
Lin Shu glanced at his friend’s Mahjong invitation and the Advanced Mathematics textbook. After hesitating, struggling, and considering, he quickly replied on WeChat, [Alright! (O ω ‘O)] with a nodding emoticon.
‘It is impossible… To not go!’ Lin Shu thought.
Lin Shu closed his Advanced Mathematics textbook and got up to get ready to play mahjong with his friends.
Just as Lin Shu was changing his shoes, he noticed the mystery gift for his first monster slay appeared in his inventory. He immediately opened the gift, and what occurred next was…
Reward: Spirit +1.
‘Spirit +1?’ Lin Shu thought. He was taken aback and didn’t expect the mystery gift to add one point to his attribute, which was a Spirit attribute point.
This was too surprising for Lin Shu.
However, just as Lin Shu was about to add that attribute point to the Spirit attribute…
Spirit: 4
Lin Shu didn’t feel any changes.
Moreover, just as Lin Shu was about to leave, he saw the Advanced Mathematics textbook on the desk. It was lying there alone, looking at him quietly.
‘Don’t go! Please wait! Stop! Don’t leave me! Please!’ a voice sounded in Lin Shu’s mind.
At that moment, for a short moment, a powerful force seemed to pull Lin Shu’s foot from the door.
Lin Shu couldn’t step out no matter what.
‘Mahjong? Why do I go to play mahjong? Isn’t it good to have this time to rest? Isn’t it good to study hard?’ Lin Shu pondered.
Lin Shu retracted his leg and walked towards the desk.
‘It’s better if I study. I’m going to take the postgraduate entrance examination soon. It was already August, and there was only one month left before he could register for the postgraduate entrance examination and about four months left before the examination. I had to make good use of my time to study so I could have fun after the postgraduate entrance examination.’
With that thought in mind, Lin Shu replied on WeChat, [I’m sorry, I can’t go.]
BEEP!
Congratulations! You have rejected brutally and slayed a Level 10 Tempter with one hit. You gained 1,280 Exp. Points and 293 Gold Coins.
After replying, Lin Shu put his phone on silent mode and set it aside. Then, he sat at the desk and started to read and solve the questions.
Lin Shu just read and learned…
After an hour and a half…
BEEP!
Congratulations! You have studied Advanced Mathematics for an hour. You gained 645 Exp. Points and 86 Gold Coins.
‘Eh? I could gain experience from learning? But I studied for more than an hour? Why was it only counted as an hour?’ Lin Shu wondered.
Lin Shu was a little confused, but he didn’t overthink it. He picked up his phone and looked at the few unread messages from his WeChat friends. He clicked on them and saw they had already set up a game and were in the middle of playing.
Looking at his friends playing mahjong leisurely, Lin Shu admitted he was a little tempted, but that feeling quickly disappeared.
Lin Shu looked at the Attributes column on his virtual panel. He had finally realized that it was himself who had stopped him from playing mahjong, and it was likewise because of the increase of one point in Spirit.
Lin Shu seemed unable to understand the system, nor did he know what the Attributes meant. He was worried that the Spirit attribute referred to spiritual willpower.
‘It was only a one point change in attribute point, and I could withdraw his foot that had stepped out. It was really powerful!
‘If I maxed out my Spirit attribute, would I become an Iron Man with strong willpower that nothing could destroy my will and determination?
‘But, maxing out the Spirit attribute was really terrifying. Does such a person really exist? If there is, he must be a monster.’ Lin Shu thought.
Lin Shu felt that he shouldn’t become such a terrifying person. He admired people with strong willpower and wanted to become that kind of person. However, he definitely didn’t want to become an Iron Man.
‘Looks like I had to be very careful about adding my attribute points later. What about my Luck attribute?’ Lin Shu thought.
Lin Shu’s gaze fell on the other attribute, Luck, and he couldn’t help but smile. His eyes were filled with anticipation. He felt that this attribute could still be maxed out.
‘Even if I had to be a monster, I would be an extremely lucky monster! That would be very blissful! Hahaha, I’m a man who will become a monster! Just thinking about it makes me happy…” Lin Shu thought.
Lin Shu shook his head to get rid of the thoughts in his mind. His eyes then fell on his experience bar 10030/10000.
‘I can level up now!’ Lin Shu thought.
Naturally, Lin Shu looked forward to leveling up, and he tapped on the level up option on the virtual panel.
BEEP!
Congratulations! You have successfully leveled up to Level 19!
BEEP!
Congratulations! You have successfully leveled up for the first time. You gained 3,120 Exp. Points, 666 Gold Coins, and one mystery gift.
Lin Shu was very excited. He didn’t expect that there would be so many rewards for leveling up. However, it was a pity that his level still needed to be higher to unlock the Item Mall.
Lin Shu then looked at his virtual panel. It has been updated…
Name: Lin Shu
Level: Level 19
Exp. Points: 3150/30000
Attributes: Spirit 4, Strength 2, Constitution 3, Agility 3, Intelligent 3, Charisma 4, Luck 3
Skills: Grade Three Drawing, Grade Nine Driving
Title: Newbie
Achievement: None
Balance: 2,341 Gold Coins
Lin Shu wasn’t pleased after looking at his updated virtual panel. That was because he found that the experience bar for leveling up had increased and became more challenging. The Exp. Points needed had tripled-folded in an instant. ‘Does it mean it will be more difficult to level up in the future?’
A thought flashed through Lin Shu’s mind. Besides, he should be happy, for he had leveled up.
Most importantly, there was also a mystery gift. But Lin Shu didn’t know what kind of mystery gift was waiting for him.
Lin Shu immediately opened the mystery gift that was placed in his inventory.
As soon as Lin Shu opened the mystery gift, a talisman appeared. It was a Wishing Talisman.
The next second, when Lin Shu saw the item’s description, his mouth fell open in shock!
‘Oh my God!’ Lin Shu thought.
Wishing Talisman: Grants a wish after use.
Price: 999999999999999999999999999999999…
Lin Shu was no longer looking at the long 999 price tag. All he could see was the description of the Wishing Talisman.
‘After use, one wish can be fulfilled! To fulfill a wish! Oh my god! O’ Great Gautama Buddha! O’ Great Jade Emperor! Immortals from all walks of life! Lord Jesus! You are the light of everything! Thank you! Thank you for noticing me! Thank you for loving me! Ahhhhhhhh! I love all of you! I’m going to become a monster! No, no, no! I’m going to be the richest man! No, no, no! The richest man in the world!’ Lin Shu thought.
“Hahahahahahahaha,” Lin Shu laughed with his hands on his waist.
Lin Shu’s laughter was so cool and domineering that it reverberated throughout the room. He tried his best to calm himself down.
‘Take a deep breath! Take a deep breath! Don’t get excited! Lin Shu, don’t be agitated. You need to calm down. You’re going to become the world’s richest monster, no, the world’s richest man. Don’t be so surprised. You need to calm down. Let’s witness the birth of the next world’s richest man.’ Lin Shu thought to himself.
Lin Shu immediately activated the Wishing Talisman. He was getting ready to welcome the next world beyond his imagination!
BEEP!
Your level is not high enough to use this item!
‘Eh?’ Lin Shu pondered.
BEEP!
Your level is not high enough to use this item!
BEEP!
Your level is not high enough to use this item!
BEEP!
Your level is not high enough to use this item!
BEEP!
Your level is not high enough to use this item!
BEEP!
Lin Shu crazily tried to use the Wishing Talisman. But, the system would notify him that his level was not high enough and that he could not use it every time.
o(╥﹏╥)o
‘My heart ached! I was in so much pain that it was as if something was scratching my heart and liver! Why are you doing this to me?’ Lin Shu cried in his heart.
BOOHOO
Lin Shu clutched at his injured heart and thought, ‘I’m the richest man in the world! How could they treat me like this?!’
Even if Lin Shu didn’t give up and used it again, the result was still the same…
BEEP!
Your level is not high enough to use this item!
‘Boohoo, that is so unfair…’ Lin Shu thought.
