Forty years old, awakening attribute panel

Chapter 313 Extra 37
Wang Dagang was happy to impart knowledge, as if he was playing the role of an enlightenment teacher, and Jiang Sheng was fascinated. Especially when he heard about those almost mythical abilities, his heart was even more excited. Even if he could not fully master all the abilities, just integrating one or two of them, such as "immortality" or "100% anti-injury", would make him fearless and unhindered on the earth.

However, there is always a gap between ideals and reality. Jiang Sheng understood that if he wanted to realize these fantasies, he must first find a way to enter a higher education institution, receive professional awakening training, and then integrate his own talents. It was getting late, and after saying goodbye to Wang Dagang, he went straight back home.

As soon as he entered the house, Jiang Sheng noticed something strange. Liu Yier's face was gloomy, and he had obviously encountered something unpleasant. After some questioning, the truth gradually surfaced. It turned out that an incredible incident happened in the mine where they worked.

That afternoon, the miners accidentally discovered a strange fossil during the excavation. It was two meters long. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a human finger bone. This finger bone was extraordinary. It was crystal clear and had a faint glow, just like a warm jade. It was so beautiful that it was intoxicating. At first, the miners thought it was just an ordinary discovery. The mine often dug up some strange objects, but this time the situation was far beyond their expectations.

As they dug deeper, they were horrified to find that the finger bone was actually connected to a complete palm, which was as huge as a small mountain. What's worse, during the excavation, someone used too much force with the pickaxe and accidentally damaged the protective layer covering the surface of the fossil. The texture of this protective layer is similar to white beeswax. Once it was broken, the huge fossil palm began to ooze bright red blood.

This blood was not an ordinary substance. Any miner who came into contact with it was instantly doomed. Their skin first ulcerated, and then their entire body quickly dissolved into a mass of pus and blood. Their death was horrible to watch.

"I was excavating the fossil with Zhang Peng," Liu Yier recalled with trembling eyes. "When the accident happened, the mine was in chaos. I don't know who splashed blood on Zhang Peng's face. Within a few seconds, his head was completely dissolved. He didn't even have time to scream..."

The horror of this incident far exceeded Jiang Sheng's imagination. He realized that this world was far more complicated and dangerous than he knew, and the ability of the awakened might just be a glimmer of light in this vast universe. At this moment, he was more determined to explore in depth, not only for his own survival and development, but also to uncover the secrets hidden in the darkness.

Liu Yier's face turned pale as he recalled the terrible scene. He took the cigarette handed to him by Jiang Sheng and took a deep puff, trying to calm his inner turmoil. "When I came back, the mine tunnel had been closed, and many important people came." There was a tremor in his voice. Obviously, the sudden disaster left a deep impression on him.

Jiang Sheng felt the same way, and he gently patted Liu Yier on the shoulder, trying to comfort him. "You don't have to go mining anymore," he said firmly.

Liu Yier was stunned, then shook his head, with a hint of stubbornness in his eyes: "It's okay, brother, I'm just a little scared. I'll be fine after a day of rest." He remembered that Jiang Sheng had told him the night before that the family's reserve funds had been used to pay for the cost of awakening. At this time, how could he be at ease sitting at home and doing nothing?
Jiang Sheng was confident: "Don't worry, I'll leave other things to you."

"What for?" Liu Yier asked puzzledly.

Jiang Sheng smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry about it for now, practice your shooting skills well, and I will help you make a fortune in a few days. I guarantee it will be more profitable than mining!"

The poor people struggling at the bottom of society have an almost obsessive pursuit of the word "getting rich", and this mentality has never changed from ancient times to the present. When Liu Yier heard Jiang Sheng's promise that there was something more profitable than mining, his doubts immediately dissipated, and he decided to believe Jiang Sheng and follow his footsteps.

The next morning, the three siblings went out together. First, they sent Huangpu Junxiao to school. As soon as they arrived at the school gate, Huangpu Junxiao couldn't wait to grab Jiang Sheng's collar and said anxiously: "Brother, look, the girl with long hair in a plaid skirt, she is He Jiayi, the sister of our classmate He Hao."

Following the direction of Huangpu Junxiao's finger, Jiang Sheng saw a tall woman with long flowing hair standing next to a hardtop SUV. She was gently helping a boy of the same age as Huangpu Junxiao get out of the car.

Huang Pujun smiled and looked up, and asked innocently: "Brother, is this little sister pretty?"

Jiang Sheng smiled and was about to answer, but Huang Pu Junxiao took the lead with a sly smile on his face: "I have already inquired, and He Hao's sister doesn't have a boyfriend. He Hao said that as long as I give him one dollar, he will tell me all his sister's information, including height, measurements, weight, and her preferences, etc."

Jiang Sheng was speechless for a moment, then turned to Liu Yier and said, "Tell Xiaoxiao again what I told you two years ago."

Liu Yier, who was carrying a violin case, cleared his throat, grinned at Huang Pujun and said, "My brother and I are not in the mood to talk about some damn pretty lady right now. We just want to make money now."

After that, Liu Yier and Jiang Sheng laughed at the same time, with a little helplessness in their laughter, but also mixed with optimism for the future. In this world full of challenges and opportunities, they will work hand in hand to face the ups and downs of life together and pursue their own happiness and success. And Huangpu Junxiao, this curious and energetic little girl, will grow into an independent woman with their company, learn to explore the world in her own way and pursue her dreams.

After leaving the hustle and bustle of the school, Jiang Sheng immediately sent Liu Yier to the shooting training hall, where he would improve himself and strengthen his skills. Jiang Sheng knew that the days ahead were full of unknowns and dangers, and only by constantly improving himself could he gain a foothold in this turbulent land. The air in the shooting training hall was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and every bullet fired was a test of the will to survive. Liu Yier disappeared in the training hall, leaving Jiang Sheng alone to continue his journey.

Afterwards, Jiang Sheng drove northward, his destination being the Lingshi Market in District 100. Lingshi, a stone containing mysterious energy, is a treasure that practitioners dream of. It can accelerate cultivation and enhance personal cultivation. After some bargaining, Jiang Sheng successfully purchased 18800 standard Lingshi, spending a total of currency units. This was a considerable expense, but in order to improve his strength, he did not hesitate.

Riding a motorcycle, Jiang Sheng came to an abandoned park. It used to be a playground for children to laugh, but now it has become a deserted place with only weeds and the sound of wind. Here, Jiang Sheng prepared to use his special ability - [Fusion Talent]. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and the option of [Fusion Talent] emerged in his mind. Then, he chose "Seven Styles of Domination Sword" and confirmed his choice.

The next moment, a strange power surged through his body, and countless images flooded into his brain like a tide. It was the scene of Li Shuying performing the Seven Styles of the Overlord Sword. Every move and every style was vivid, as if he had experienced it personally. Jiang Sheng was immersed in this series of martial arts inheritance, feeling the flow and changes of the sword intent.

Seven Styles of Overlord Sword, this set of unique martial arts originated from the ancient martial arts, each of which contains profound martial arts secrets. The first style is "Autumn Water Flying Wrists", which is as flexible as autumn water, but can burst out with the power of thunder; the second style is "Ice Flowers Scattered All Over the Body", and wherever the blade passes, it is like ice flowers blooming, cold and beautiful; the third style is "Sounding and Shocking the White Emperor", the sound of the sword shakes the sky and shocks the four directions; the fourth style is "Murderous Aura Rising in the Nine Netherworlds", the sword aura is sharp, and it rushes directly into the Nine Netherworlds; the fifth style is "Cold Light Crying Ghosts and Gods", the flashing sword light moves ghosts and gods; the sixth style is "Dancing with Purple Sleeves", the sword technique is like dancing, elegant and deadly; the seventh style is "Desolate and Full of the Sky", the sword wind whistles, covering the entire sky.

When these images completely merged into his mind, Jiang Sheng felt an unprecedented power surging in his body. The basic sword technique allowed him to master the essence of the sword, and the Seven Styles of the Overlord Sword pushed this essence to the extreme, making the sword in his hand truly the king of all weapons.

Jiang Sheng pulled out a Tang sword from his motorcycle. The ancient and sharp weapon shone coldly in the sun. He swung it slowly, starting with the simplest movements and gradually increasing his speed. Each move was smooth and natural, as if it was innate. By the fifth move, the tip of the Tang sword began to emit a faint light, and the cold air seemed to freeze everything. After the last move, the blade light released by the tip of the Tang sword in Jiang Sheng's hand was ten centimeters long, a realm he had never reached before.

If Li Shuying were here, she would be shocked. Her master Liu Yian had devoted his life to the practice of the Seven Styles of the Tyrant Sword, and after more than 40 years, his sword energy had never been so amazing. What Jiang Sheng showed was undoubtedly the peak of the Seven Styles of the Tyrant Sword, reaching the state of unity between man and sword.

Jiang Sheng put away his sword and stood still, his heart surging with confidence. He took a step forward, sprinted forward, leaped into the air, and the Tang sword in his hand cut through the sky and chopped towards a thick poplar tree. The air seemed to be cut by the sword light, and the poplar tree fell down with a loud bang, leaving a deep knife mark, proving Jiang Sheng's strength and determination.

At this moment, Jiang Sheng understood that he was no longer the same person he used to be. He had greater power and shouldered greater responsibilities. No matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead was, he would be fearless and move forward courageously.

Without any suspense, the poplar tree exploded from the middle with a "boom" as if struck by lightning under Jiang Sheng's sword. The huge trunk broke into two pieces and fell heavily on the ground, stirring up dust. Under the shade of the tree, Jiang Sheng held a Tang sword in his hand and stared at the scene. His excitement was indescribable. From a layman who knew nothing about swordsmanship to a terrifying master who could release sword energy, all this happened in just two days. Although the time was short, for Jiang Sheng, it was like experiencing countless life-and-death struggles. Behind every flash of swords and shadows was his desire and unremitting pursuit of power.

After calming down a little, Jiang Sheng opened the fusion program and carefully checked his status. The data on the screen came into view, and each value represented his growth and accumulation.

Name: [Jiang Sheng]

Wealth: [1716.86 Chinese Yuan]

Strength: [210kg]

Spirit Stone: [104.5]

Talent: [1. Basic fighting skills: level cannot be upgraded.

Basic swordsmanship: The level cannot be upgraded.

Seven Styles of Tyrant Sword: The level cannot be upgraded. 】

Equipment: [None]

[Enhance Attributes] [Fusion Talents]

These data have not changed, but for Jiang Sheng, every piece of information is of great significance. Especially those talents that cannot be improved, they symbolize the peak he has reached. The mastery of basic fighting skills and swordsmanship, as well as the understanding of the Seven Styles of the Tyrant Sword, are all direct manifestations of his strength.

Then, Jiang Sheng flipped to the second page, and the [Divine Power Experience Card x20] was still quietly lying in the first row of the first slot in the inventory, unused. Seeing this, Jiang Sheng couldn't help but have a sudden thought: how great it would be if the Tang sword could also be put into the inventory like this card. As soon as this thought came to mind, Jiang Sheng felt his hand lighten, and when he looked down, the Yaoji Tang sword that cost 268 yuan had disappeared out of thin air.

Jiang Sheng was startled, and then he noticed that there was an extra item in the second slot of the first row in the virtual inventory. After careful identification, it was his Tang sword. "... can you actually put real objects in it?" Facing this scene, Jiang Sheng was so surprised that he was speechless. Because of the darkness under the lamp, although he frequently studied the fusion program during this period, he never thought that the inventory could actually store physical objects, so naturally he never tried it.

If it weren't for today's coincidence, I'm afraid he wouldn't know when he would discover this hidden secret! The joy in his heart almost overflowed his chest, but he tried to control his emotions and began to think about how to take the Tang sword out of the inventory.

He tried to click a few times, but nothing happened. So Jiang Sheng recalled the scene of putting away the knife just now, and decided to imagine the action of taking out the Tang sword in his mind. The next second, a Tang sword suddenly appeared in the palm of his right hand, and he immediately grasped the handle of the sword almost subconsciously.

Then, he imagined putting the sword into the inventory, and the sword disappeared instantly. Then he imagined taking it out, and the sword reappeared in his hand. This repeated process, the sword shuttled back and forth between the inventory and the real world, and each appearance and disappearance verified the practicality and convenience of this function.

Jiang Sheng realized that this discovery not only greatly enhanced his flexibility in combat, but also meant that he could carry more items without being restricted by space, which was undoubtedly a huge help for future adventures. He secretly rejoiced in his heart, and at the same time, he began to think about how to use this new discovery to be better prepared for the next journey. After all, in this world full of unknowns, every little advantage could be the key to life and death.

Jiang Sheng repeated the experiment dozens of times, taking the Tang sword out of the inventory each time and then putting it back, until the whole process became as natural as breathing, moving at will, and extremely skilled. Every time the Tang sword appeared and disappeared, Jiang Sheng's joy and sense of accomplishment doubled. When he took the Tang sword out of the inventory for the last time, he couldn't help but cheer loudly, and his laughter was full of joy and excitement.

"It's so cool." This sentence is almost the most true portrayal of Jiang Sheng's mood at this moment. If getting the fusion program is like winning a 5000 million jackpot, then this storage function is undoubtedly an additional 500 million jackpot, which is both pleasantly surprising and unexpected. Imagine, in the middle of a battle, suddenly taking out a sharp knife from the void, or a Gatling gun that sprays blue flames, how would the enemy react? This is not only a tactical advantage, but also a psychological deterrent.

Next, Jiang Sheng continued to explore the limits of this new function. He began to try to put small items such as mobile phones and ID cards into the inventory, and then take them out. The whole process was smooth and unimpeded. After becoming proficient, he turned his attention to larger items - motorcycles. When the motorcycle was also easily stored in the inventory, Jiang Sheng couldn't help but raise a smug smile.

Then, he came to the nearby residential area and stood next to an off-road vehicle when no one was around. He gently placed his hand on the rear of the vehicle and silently said "collect" in his heart. The next moment, the tall off-road vehicle disappeared like magic. Jiang Sheng grinned, his heart filled with an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

After practicing for a while in a nearby no-man's land, he finally returned the off-road vehicle to its original place. After all, it was not his personal property. Next, he began to test whether bulk items could also be put into the inventory. To this end, Jiang Sheng went to the supermarket to buy two boxes of mineral water, found a hidden place, and put the whole box of mineral water into the inventory. When he checked the inventory again, the screen showed [Mineral Water (Box) × 2], which made him clench his fist excitedly.

Jiang Sheng suppressed his excitement, took out the mineral water and opened it. Then, he continued the experiment, putting the mineral water bottles into the inventory, staring at the inventory of the panel program, and saw [Mineral Water ×1, ×2, ×3, ×4, ×5, ×6... ×24] appear in sequence. At this moment, Jiang Sheng could no longer suppress his inner joy and laughed out loud. He realized that the power of the fusion program he awakened was beyond imagination.

After the excitement, Jiang Sheng looked at the time. It was almost noon. He returned to District 11 to prepare for the afternoon activities. In the afternoon, he bought a few more domesticated rabbits. Unfortunately, living things could not be put into the inventory, so they could only be dead things. He patiently waited for the wound on his shoulder to heal, and then continued to run and push up. At the same time, he also went to Ba Dao Men to learn lock picking techniques and the use of hidden weapons. Since the tuition has been paid, and it is better to have more skills, why not?

At the same time, Jiang Sheng is also actively preparing to hunt the bloodthirsty silver wolf. He knows that this will be a tough battle that requires full preparation and careful planning. His fusion program and the newly discovered storage function will become important tools for his operation. In the days to come, Jiang Sheng will continue to hone his skills and make all preparations for the upcoming challenges.

As for Liu Yi'er, Jiang Sheng's original plan was to kill the bloodthirsty silver wolf himself, while Liu Yi'er would be responsible for standing guard with a gun and helping to carry the wolf corpse to the city for sale after the battle. However, plans can never keep up with changes. Since Jiang Sheng mastered the essence of the Seven Styles of the Tyrant Sword, coupled with the convenience of the inventory, he realized that he no longer needed Liu Yi'er to take risks with him. As long as Liu Yi'er waited in the city to pick him up and help with the transaction of the wolf corpse, it would be enough to ensure safety and efficiency.

At noon one day, Jiang Sheng told Liu Yier all about his carefully planned "get-rich plan". Liu Yier was shocked. He had never expected that Jiang Sheng would actually plan to hunt such a dangerous target as the bloodthirsty silver wolf. He wanted to ask Jiang Sheng if he had lost his mind. After all, if the bloodthirsty silver wolf could be killed so easily, how could it be their turn?
"This is absolutely not possible, brother. You are playing with your life." Liu Yier said in a serious tone, trying to dissuade Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng responded with a smile: "Have you forgotten how I killed a bloodthirsty silver wolf last time?"

Liu Yier refuted with a serious face: "Bloodthirsty silver wolves usually live in groups. You were just lucky last time and encountered a lone wolf."

Just as Jiang Sheng was about to show Liu Yier his current strength and prove that he was not acting recklessly, a task reminder sounded suddenly. He quickly opened it to check, and saw a new task on the screen: [Side Mission 3: Actions are often more convincing than explanations, beat up the hooligans. Time limit: 1 hour. Reward: The harder you hit, the more hooligans you defeat, and the richer the reward. ]

"What does this have to do with the gangsters? Why would I beat them up?" Faced with this sudden task and the illogical task description, Jiang Sheng was full of doubts. But it was rare that the fusion program assigned a seemingly "simple" task, so he naturally would not miss it easily. He could only silently mourn for the gangsters who were about to become the ghosts under his fists.

After arranging for Huangpu Junxiao to watch cartoons at home, Jiang Sheng took Liu Yier to the largest "Western Bar" in District 11. Here, due to the lack of a legal system, bars in the slums have become places where all kinds of social classes mix. Fights and even bloodshed caused by trivial disputes are almost commonplace here.

There is a joke circulating in the slums that one-third of a bar's revenue comes from compensation for damaged property from the fighters. There is no need to worry about the fighters refusing to pay or repaying. Because no one who can run a bar in the slums is an easy target, and they have enough means to ensure that every bill can be collected smoothly.

When Jiang Sheng and Liu Yier arrived at the "Western Bar", it was already crowded and filled with smoke. They were keenly aware of the tense atmosphere in the air, as if a conflict was about to break out. Jiang Sheng knew that to complete the task, he had to take action immediately. So he took a deep breath, sorted out his thoughts, and prepared to meet the upcoming challenge.

He looked around, searching for possible targets. Soon, a group of drunken hooligans came into his sight. They were provoking the people around them, obviously looking for trouble. Jiang Sheng walked towards them without hesitation, with a firm look in his eyes and a compelling aura. The hooligans did not take him seriously at first, but they soon realized their mistake. Every punch Jiang Sheng threw was accurate and powerful, and every kick he made was powerful. He subdued the hooligans one by one in a lightning-fast manner, winning cheers from the surrounding audience.

As the countdown came to an end, Jiang Sheng completed the task and received a generous reward. He not only proved his strength, but also showed Liu Yier that actions speak louder than words. This experience not only deepened the trust between the two, but also laid a solid foundation for their future cooperation. For Jiang Sheng, this was not just a simple task completion, but also a test and improvement of his own strength, adding some confidence to the upcoming bloodthirsty silver wolf battle.

Of course, what we are referring to here are ordinary people, whose fate is often as insignificant as dust in this world full of chaos and violence.

Jiang Sheng took Liu Yier to the "Western Bar" on the commercial street, a well-known place in the slums. He whispered to Liu Yier to stay away from him to avoid unnecessary trouble, and then walked into the bar confidently.

The bar business is most prosperous during the day, but the slums are a completely different scene at night. Even those experienced people dare not easily set foot in. Jiang Sheng chose to act during the day, both to avoid the danger at night and to complete the seemingly absurd task.

Three minutes later, Jiang Sheng appeared at the railing of the dance floor of the bar. He deliberately stared at a young girl who was extremely exposed and heavily made up for ten seconds, until she finally couldn't stand it anymore and shouted angrily: "What are you looking at? Do you want me to take off your pants for you?"

Jiang Sheng curled his lips in disdain: "Come on, take it off if you have the guts!"

"You little brat, don't run away if you dare!" The little girl pointed at Jiang Sheng and shouted sharply, then shouted loudly to the dance floor: "Brother Gou, Brother Gou, someone is bullying me!"

Soon, a group of muscular, tattooed, bald men squeezed through the crowd, their arrogant demeanor seemed to announce their gangster identity. They looked around, looking for provocateurs.

"Who is so bold as to mess with our dog brother's woman?"

"Which guy is looking for death, right?"

As the group of people shouted, the old hands around them dispersed tacitly, forming a circle, as if they were expecting a good show. What was even more ridiculous was that the DJ in the bar seemed to have noticed the upcoming conflict and deliberately adjusted the lights, shining a strong light on Jiang Sheng, as if to add fuel to the farce.

The little girl stood beside Jiang Sheng and pointed at him triumphantly: "It's him, he bullied me!"
