People in America: My Uncle Don Quixote

"I'll do it," Levi said. "I'll try; maybe I can move it in."

"Oh, come on, honey," Emma teased her little brother. "I know you're all muscle, but even three adults couldn't lift this thing."

Li Wei stepped forward, squatted down in front of the box, and examined it carefully.

This is a wooden box that can barely fit through the door of a boutique. It's not very big, only reaching his waist. Iron bars are poured on both sides of the wooden box to secure it, making it look quite sturdy.

"How much does this weigh?" Li Wei pondered for a moment, then turned to look at the workers unloading the goods. "300 kilograms? 400 kilograms?"

The unloader was a burly white man. After overhearing Levi and Emma's conversation, he looked Levi up and down, a flash of disdain in his eyes.

"At least 300 kilograms, right?" he replied. "This thing is solid."

Li Wei saw the sarcasm in his eyes, but he didn't react for the time being.

他稍微估算了一下，自己目前的力量1.2就已经可以推动125公斤的槓铃。而自己在来的路上差不多估算出来每提升0.1的力量可以提升20-40公斤的力量。

If using [Berserk] to double your strength for a short time, you should probably give it a try?

"What kind of artwork is this?" Levi asked Emma, ​​returning to her side. "Do I need to handle it with care?"

"Of course you need to handle it with care! If I remember correctly, this should be a sculpture," Emma rolled her eyes at him. "Can something that isn't valuable be called a work of art?"

"What if I can lift it and carry it inside? What will you say then?"

Emma, ​​after looking Levi up and down upon hearing his boastful words, said:

"You may be a bit young, but I really like your type. Just tell me if you want to ask me out."

"I don't want to," Li Wei pointed to a high-end steak buffet outside, "If I could move in, would you treat me to dinner?"

"Hmm...you sure know how to pick. Lunch at their place costs $150 per person..." Emma's lips twitched, and she said jokingly, "But okay, you treat me until you move in, alright?"

Li Wei nodded, put his small bag aside, walked to the box, and took a deep breath.

The stevedores saw the elegant Emma making advances toward a yellow-skinned boy, and a flash of annoyance crossed their eyes.

"Be careful, kid, don't hurt your back," he said, half-sarcastically and half-advisingly. "This isn't your little dumbbell—"

[Rage] activated!

An unprecedentedly hot torrent pumped from his heart, rushing into every muscle fiber like a river bursting its banks.

[Strength 1.2] - [Strength 2.4]

Agility 1.1 - Agility 2.2

[Constitution 1.1] - [Constitution 2.2]

In an instant, Li Wei felt the world truly slow down. His pupils contracted instantly, and the chattering voices around him were pulled away, gradually becoming indistinct.

The only thing that was clear was the roaring power within him.

He crouched down and gripped the reinforcing iron bars at the bottom of the box with both hands.

With his back and waist tightened, his latissimus dorsi muscles locked in place like two iron gates, and his thighs acted like two jacks, lifting the wooden box, which weighed over 300 kilograms and had left three strong men helpless, off the ground... smoothly, even somewhat lightly.

The veins on Li Wei's arms bulged like dragons, but his face was not as ferocious and twisted as everyone expected; instead, he was just a little out of breath.

"My God..." Emma couldn't help but cover her mouth, the "Watch your waist" that she was meant to tease her got stuck in her throat.

Li Wei carried the box, taking one step, two steps, three steps, and then, to everyone's astonishment, placed the box steadily in the corner.

He even managed to avoid hitting the glass door, clearly 300 kilograms was far from his limit.

"Strange..." Li Wei muttered, "Was this not packed properly? It feels like it's not fully packed inside..."

After he put down the box, everyone looked at this unassuming, handsome Asian part-time worker as if he were a monster.

That's 300 kilograms! And unlike a barbell, it doesn't have a bar to grip and a balanced center of gravity. This is an irregularly shaped object weighing almost half a ton!

The unloading worker who had just advised him rubbed his eyes, walked over in disbelief, and tried the box, only to find that it didn't budge at all.

"That's pretty light," Li Wei patted his shoulder. "I didn't expect that someone with such big muscles like you would have no strength at all."

He turned his head, his face flushed red, wanting to say something, but at this moment he couldn't utter a single word. He could only swallow Li Wei's sarcasm like a fish out of water.

No sooner had the renovation workers' car left than a Bentley Bentayga pulled up in front of the boutique.

Mrs. Dolores was unusually a little late, but she maintained her usual elegance and composure.

"Why did they leave?" she asked. "Emma, ​​didn't you tell me the sculpture I bought was stuck at the door and I couldn't get in?"

“That’s how it was supposed to be, Mrs. Dolores,” Emma glanced at Levi, “but Levi moved it in all by himself.”

For the first time, Li Wei saw a hint of doubt and shock on Mrs. Dolores's face.

"You opened it?" she asked. "Otherwise, how could you have moved it by yourself?"

"Maybe I'm just naturally strong," Li Wei shrugged. "Or maybe those porters were too weak and had taken too many steroids."

Mrs. Dolores walked to a corner and looked around at the seal on the box.

Looking at the expression on her face, Li Wei knew that his mission seemed to be complete.

Sure enough, the next second, a dialog box popped up in his eyes indicating that the task was completed:

[Quest: Helping others is a knight's virtue - Completed]

[Reward: +0.1 Free Attribute Points]

yes!

Li Wei clenched his fist secretly, and he secretly added that attribute point to his physique.

[Constitution 1.1] - [Constitution 1.2]

Li Wei suddenly took a deep breath.

He took a long, deep breath. He could feel his alveoli expanding with unprecedented efficiency, squeezing out all the oxygen from the air, followed by a powerful heart pumping blood, delivering energy to his fingertips and the ends of his hair.

He now feels that he can maintain a pace of 4 minutes per kilometer and run directly from the Upper East Side back to Sunset Park, as long as he wants. One of the characteristics of his improved physical condition is a significant upgrade in endurance.

But before he could fully appreciate the changes in his body, Mrs. Dolores summoned all four sales assistants in the store and said seriously:

"I'll be going on a business trip for the next few days," she said, looking at Li Wei and the others. "While I'm away from the shop, everything will proceed as usual."

Her gaze suddenly focused on Li Wei: "Everyone else can leave to work, Li Wei, wait a moment."
