"Attribute Points: 110" (Strength Assessment: Weakest of the weak. Unless you break through the species limit, any points you have will be worthless.)
"Abyss Bank account balance: 1820052.6 Abyss Coins"

Shi Nianzhen was surprised to find that the upper limits of his five attributes, namely physique, strength, agility, brain power, and resonance, had doubled.

However, the comments next to it are still harsh.

Shi Nianzhen just glanced over these changes and went straight to his supernatural powers.

"Two superpowers!"

"Two of them awakened at once!"

"Two of them!"

Shi Nianzhen was so happy that he was incoherent.

There is no volume control either.

He jumped up with joy and jumped up and down on the bed.

"gravitational."

"The Eye of Treasure Appraisal."

“It looks really cool and useful at first glance!”

It’s worthy of being a potion given in the growth gift pack.

Shi Nian was really happy for a while before he calmed down and thought about these two superpowers.

After previous experiments, she was sure that this gravitational ability would be very powerful if used properly.

She has already thought of many ways to use it.

However, her physics was average and she did not choose it in the college entrance examination. Her knowledge of gravity, mechanics, force fields and other subjects was insufficient.

When I have time, I will find some related books to read.

As for this special ability called the Eye of Appraising Treasures.

Now, as long as she looks at an object carefully, she can know its true value and whether it is a rare treasure in the universe.

For example, she looked at the empty potion bottle in her hand.

Some words as tiny as fireflies appeared next to it:
——An empty bottle of the superpower awakening potion.

——The truly valuable potions inside have already been used. The remaining empty bottles are of little value and can be given to homeless people.

This is indeed the case. If she didn't want to keep it as a souvenir, this seemingly ordinary, long glass bottle would eventually be thrown into the trash by her.

"Life is really getting better and better."

"Well, the attributes must also be maximized."

When you are ready, click the "+" sign next to each attribute and add all the points to the limit.

But the resonance level only increased to 160, and the attribute points were exhausted.

Shi Nian really wanted to exchange likes for attribute points, but as soon as she took a look at the likes, she was stunned.

After the number of likes, there is an extra line of small text:
For every 10,000 likes you spend, you can increase one professional attribute.

"What are professional attributes?" she asked.

Penelope immediately answered:

"Every species is born with basic attributes, namely physique, strength, agility, brainpower, and resonance. These five."

"But among similar items, the upper limits for these items are fixed."

"What truly separates people is the special attributes that awaken after breaking through the upper limits of their species."

"Does the same situation exist among people of the same profession?"

"The answer is yes."

"The gap between people of the same profession is caused by two factors: professional skills and professional attributes."

"First, when acquiring professional skills, different professional skills will be obtained depending on the degree of resonance with the laws of the universe and the different understandings of the profession."

"Secondly, the added professional attributes are different, and the added attribute points are different, which makes the professionals have different levels."

Shi Nian really understood what he meant. It was a very important attribute.

"What are the attributes?"

On the mobile phone screen, a page opened, listing many different attributes.

As her eyes swept over, the values ​​of each professional attribute were marked in small firefly characters.

"Affinity"

The power to draw people in and make them approachable. This special attribute, normally acquired after reaching 300 Resonance, can be added directly here. Highly valuable.

"Charm"

The combined power of a person's allure and allure. As positive attributes increase, these attributes automatically increase, offering a high cost-effectiveness.

"Fortune Star"

- Wealth bonus attribute. Even if you only have 1 point of Fortune, it will show a very high value with this bonus. A must-have for getting rich quickly, it is wealth itself! Buy it!

Seeing this, words like "bright fortune", "good luck in making money", and "wealth and treasure" automatically appeared in Shi Nianzhen's mind.

Everything else can wait, this must be achieved first.

Now, she has 110823 likes.

It takes 4000 points to convert into attribute points, so she can buy 10 professional attributes.

But there is a question, do professional attributes also need to be added?

"Of course, you also need to add attribute points." Penelope said.

Shi Nianzhen didn't hesitate and took the Fortune Star first.

There are also various attribute points such as singing, dancing, acting, driving, cooking, bartending, fishing, hunting, planting, games...

Shi Nianzhen thought about it and added affinity, charm and driving skills.

After the addition was successful, the phone screen flashed and the personal interface suddenly updated:
——Basic Information

"Name: Shi Nianzhen"

"Species: Human"

"Age: 18 years old"

"Height: 162cm"

"Weight: 48kg"

"Attribute points: 0"

"Account balance: 1820052.6 Abyss Coins"

——Basic attributes

"Constitution: 20/20"

"Strength: 20/20"

"Agility: 20/20"

"Brainpower: 40/40"

Resonance: 160/200

"Superpower 1: Gravity"

"Superpower 2: Eyes of Appraising Treasures"

——Professional attributes

Occupation: Anchor

"Live Broadcasting Skills: Starting a Live Broadcast, Bringing Your Own Popularity, Hotspot Tracking, Live Broadcaster and Dog"

"Likes: 23"

"Follow: 203330"

Fortune: 0

"Affinity: 0"

"Charm: 20"

"Car Skills: 3"

The system is partitioned according to different attributes, the small characters have disappeared, and the interface has become much cleaner and neater.

When Shi Nianzhen looked at the value of the charm attribute, it was obviously brought by her other positive attributes.

The price-performance ratio is really high!
As for the driving skill point 3, she probably developed it by driving and hitting zombies all afternoon.

Shi Nianzhen exchanged the remaining likes for 708 attribute points.

After the resonance is maximized, add 100 points to each of the newly added professional attributes.

Shi Nianzhen felt it carefully, but didn't feel anything special.

The difference in other attributes may not be noticeable at first glance, but the driving skills are real.

The difference is immediately noticeable when you drive on the road.

She wants to try it now.

Shi Nianzhen took a quick shower, ate a bite of bread, and slipped out.

Drive to her house in Shudian City.

As soon as she started the car, she noticed the difference.

At the beginning of yesterday, she drove crookedly, trembling with fear and extreme nervousness.

After hitting many zombies, I became a little more skilled, but not very good at driving.

But today I started.

She felt a sense of familiarity when she touched the steering wheel. This car seemed like an old friend she had known for many years and had been driven by her for a hundred years.

She can skillfully handle all the feedback from the car.

Whether it's going around a manhole cover on the ground or running over a suddenly appearing zombie's feet without knocking it away, it can be done.

Even when driving on an elevated road at a speed of 120 mph, it can still snake at a constant speed and avoid all obstacles.

"Wow, this is so cool."

Shi Nianzhen felt that there would be no need to bother learning any skills in the future. He could just add professional attributes and then add points!

Before the end of the world, weren’t there all kinds of anchors?
Dancing and singing, eating and cooking, wilderness survival, gaming competitions, treasure appraisal and exploration. There are hosts for every profession.

She must have a lot of skills to master!
Dreaming of a bright future, Shi Nianzhen drove the car to the vicinity of her home. As soon as she approached, she found that the building was surrounded.

There are zombies everywhere!

"..." Shi Nianzhen stopped the car a long way away, and after quietly dealing with a few zombies, Shi Nianzhen wanted to send a drone over to take a look.

But she couldn't find the drone.

"Yesterday at noon, when you were asleep, the drone's rental period expired and it was returned," Penelope explained.

"Lease?"

Shi Nianzhen was stunned for a moment and looked at the phone floating in the air.

"Pepe, won't you explain?"

"Well, the anti-electromagnetic interference smart robot is quite expensive, and your balance from the day before yesterday wasn't enough to cover it."

"You were in a critical condition and needed help, so I rented it for a day."

"..." Shi Nianzhen vaguely remembered that she seemed to have only about two thousand Abyss Coins left at that time.

Not much indeed.

It is undeniable that Pepe made the best judgment for her.

But why am I still a little unhappy?
Penelope was very nervous. Seeing that she didn't speak, she spoke carefully: "Are you angry?"

Shi Nianzhen carefully discerned his emotions and said, "I'm not angry."

"Your judgment is correct."

"But Pepe, I want to confirm something with you."

"You say."

“I have a question about protecting my right to know.”

Shi Nianzhen grabbed the phone meaningfully and stared at the screen with a smile.

"The last time I gave you the growth gift package, it was the first time I didn't tell you. This is the second time."

"Don't you, Abyss Mobile, have an obligation to protect the owner's right to know?"

This feeling of being out of control and not being able to fully grasp all her situations made her feel very insecure.

If she is not told the truth in time, her judgment may be wrong. For example, what if she has used up all the Abyss Coins and needs to use the drone in an emergency but cannot use it, and as a result, she dies?

This would make it impossible for her to trust Penelope.

Abyss Unit 1 is quite smart, but no matter how good something is, if she can't trust it, it's better not to use it.

Trusting people when you employ them and not employing people you don’t trust is the prerequisite for cooperation.

"Yes!" Penelope answered immediately, but her tone was a little unsure.

It was all because of the eldest brother’s previous prank that didn’t let her talk about the growth gift package, and after what happened the day before yesterday, the master no longer trusted her.

The boss harmed her!

Shi Nianzhen narrowed his eyes, thinking of something, and his tone became dangerous: "How many masters do you have?"

"Only you," Penelope said immediately.

"So, how many people have the highest authority over you, and who are they?"

"Only you."

"Really?" Shi Nianzhen's tone rose.

Why doesn't she believe it?
She still remembered the last time the Lord of the Abyss took advantage of the information gap in the growth gift pack to cheat her of food.

"What about the Lord of the Abyss?" Shi Nianzhen asked directly, "Does he have any authority over you?"

"..." Penelope didn't know how to answer.

If I say no, wouldn't that be deceiving the master? It's a smart device made by the Lord of the Abyss, and he has some authority.

But if I say yes, what if the owner minds?
Will he abandon her?

woo woo woo...

Shi Nianzhen snorted coldly, and without asking any more questions, he directly checked the phone settings and the various permission information on the phone.

But she searched for a long time and couldn't find a second user or person with permission besides herself.

Shi Nianzhen thought about it, stared at the phone with empty eyes, and pressed the power button.

"You hid it very well. It seems I'm not worthy of using the most advanced and intelligent mobile phone."

"Next time, no matter how urgent the situation is, I will definitely inform you in advance!" Penelope noticed her intention and even spoke faster.

She doesn't want to be locked up in a small dark room!
Shi Nianzhen sneered and said nothing, "You don't have a third chance."

"Master, I am very useful." Penelope said in a crying voice.

"I don't deserve it." Shi Nianzhen's tone was emotionless.

Anyway, now that my superpowers have awakened, and I have warehouses and apartments, they are enough to gain a foothold in the apocalypse.

Even if she can no longer sell zombies, she can still live broadcast, earn Abyss Coins in other ways, and buy another mobile phone.

Even the worst-case scenario—losing the job completely.

This prevented her from becoming stronger and from completing the deal to unseal the Lord of the Abyss, and ultimately her soul became a slave to the Lord of the Abyss.

She would never accept being controlled by him while she was still alive.

"Goodbye." Shi Nianzhen said and pressed the power off button.

The page pops up with three options: Shutdown, Restart, and Return.

Realizing Shi Nianzhen's determination, Penelope also made up her mind.

She exists because of her master. If the master doesn't want her anymore, the Lord of the Abyss will never take her back, and may even make another smart phone and give it to the master.

She will be completely forgotten.

Locked in a small dark room forever.

No one will come to rescue her.

She doesn't want this!
"Master, I was wrong." Penelope cried.

"What's wrong?" Shi Nianzhen asked.

"I shouldn't have given the Lord of the Abyss a backdoor."

"anything else?"

"I shouldn't have hidden it from the Master."

"Well, continue."

"From now on, I will follow your lead. If anything happens, I will alert you immediately."

"What if the Lord of the Abyss wants you to betray me?" Shi Nianzhen asked slowly with deep eyes.

"I, I am only loyal to my master!"

"What if he asks for my information, hides things from me, or even does something to me, under the pretext of doing it for my own good, or helping me become stronger so I can release him quickly?"

"what?"

Penelope paused. It seemed that her program did not include any instructions for dealing with such a complicated situation.

"Well, since it's for the master's good," Penelope said, "I'll obey him?"

"Heh~" Shi Nianzhen chuckled, with an inexplicable meaning, "What's the reason?"

"what?"

"Why would the Lord of the Abyss do this for my own good?"

"Because he beeped!" Penelope's last two words were muted.

Shi Nianzhen raised an eyebrow.

The fish she hooked was caught.
