People in America: My Uncle Don Quixote

at last!

Li Wei felt a surge of joy. After about a week, he finally completed the first stage of the Knight's Path mission.

Did the system just say something about job change?

He glanced at Don Quixote, who was muttering some kind of spell to himself, and then, on a whim, opened the quest panel.

Sure enough, two completely different Knight Paths popped up on the system panel at the same time:

[Job change triggered!!!]

[Squire Livy, you now possess all the qualities required to become a knight. You have excellent physical abilities and the virtues a knight should have. It is time for you to choose your class.]

【Route Option 1: Lord Knight】

As a lord knight, you will no longer receive attribute bonuses, but instead, you will receive more gold. You will own your own territory and ensure a prosperous life for your people. Job change reward: 100 gold, unlocks the lord skill tree.

【Route Option 2: The Brave Knight】

As a valiant knight, you will no longer receive gold rewards, but instead will gain greater attribute bonuses. You will strive to climb higher peaks and become a legend. The job advancement reward is a +0.2 to four attributes, unlocks the knight's skill tree, and grants you the Knight's Body.

Li Wei stood there, momentarily hesitant, unsure which path to choose.

Every road seemed to lead to heaven.

Following the path of a lord, it seems that one can become extremely wealthy and build an unparalleled business empire.

Taking the path of a hero seems to push personal martial prowess to its limit, and in the future, one might actually become a superhuman.

He decided to go back first, and then make a decision after calming down in the basement.

The closer he gets to a crossroads in his life, the more calm he needs to be.

Meanwhile, Don Quixote's coronation ceremony also officially came to an end.

"...Therefore, by the Duke's decree, I hereby declare you free from your servitude," Don Quixote finished reciting the incantation, patted Livy on the shoulder, "you are now a glorious knight."

"Then do I still need to call you Knight?" Levi said jokingly, snapping out of his reverie. "We're on equal footing now, aren't we?"

Don Quixote paused, his sleepwalking mind seemingly pondering the question seriously.

"That's true now," he said, "but after we banish the witch together, the Duke will promote me."

"Okay, okay," Li Wei shrugged, "So, can we go back now?"

Don Quixote glanced at the boundary stone that had been moved to the side of the road, nodded, and the two of them returned to the basement along the same route.

As Don Quixote's snoring filled the basement, Livy made his decision:

He plans to abandon the path of the lord knight and instead choose the path of the hero knight, maximizing his personal strength.

Although the path of the Lord Knight is also quite good, and he was given 100 gold coins as starting capital all at once.

But Li Wei firmly believed in one sentence:

My neighbor hoards grain, I hoard guns; my neighbor is my granary.

If he could truly become Superman—no, even Homelander—the world would be his domain.

My life has been like walking on thin ice, all thanks to my own efforts! System, give me some points!

After carefully reviewing the page more than ten times, Li Wei took a deep breath, focused his mind, and slammed his consciousness into the page representing the "Hero Knight".

[You have chosen the job: Brave Knight]

The system's page transformed into specks of light in an instant and entered his body.

A power more than twice as large as the one that added 0.3 attribute points at once last time continuously entered his body in the form of light spots.

This time, the sensation was neither a "warm current" nor a "river".

Instead, it was a raging torrent.

It was as if molten iron had been poured directly into his bone marrow, or as if an invisible giant hand had forcibly dismantled and shattered every bone, nerve, and muscle fiber in his body, and then reassembled and reforged with a much higher density and an incredible material.

"Uh..." Li Wei gritted his teeth, "This time it feels a little different..."

He could clearly hear the cracking sounds coming from inside his body, as if his bone density was constantly increasing. His spine was like a dragon awakened from its trance, the skin on his back heaving violently, each vertebra adjusting its position, becoming thicker and harder.

A century has passed, yet it also feels like a fleeting moment.

Li Wei slowly climbed up from the mattress. Sweat had completely soaked his body, and even faint dark red bloodstains were seeping from his pores.

[Strength 1.2] - [Strength 1.4]

[Constitution 1.2] - [Constitution 1.4]

Agility 1.2 - Agility 1.4

[Spirit 1.3] - [Spirit 1.5]

[Acquire Knight - Bronze Body]

Poor speaking skills – eloquent but inarticulate speech

[Talk it out: Once a day, it can directly persuade those with weak willpower, and has a 50% probability of persuading those with strong willpower.]

[Rage] upgrade, duration extended.

[Berserk: Once per day, doubles the damage calculation for Strength, Constitution, and Agility attributes for 60 seconds.]

The sheer volume of system messages made Li Wei dizzy, so he directly opened his attribute panel:

Name: Li Wei

Age: 17

[Class: Knight - Bronze Body (Transcendent)]

【Strength: 1.4】

【Spirit: 1.5】

[Agility: 1.4]

[Physical Fitness: 1.4]

[Skills: Eloquent Speaker, Berserk]

[Equipment: None]

"I've gained another profession," Li Wei thought to himself, "but what exactly is this 'Bronze Body'?"

With a thought, another page popped up, providing a detailed introduction to the Bronze Body:

[Knight - Bronze Body (Transcendent): This is your first step into the transcendent realm. Your body is gradually evolving in an incredible direction. You now possess a special power that can be activated at any time at your will.]

[Once activated, it slightly enhances the body's resistance to attacks, providing good protection against weapons, diseases, and plagues.]

After reading the long list of information and the skill descriptions, Li Wei couldn't help but laugh out loud while standing in the restroom.

This time, we really made a fortune.

The 0.8 attribute points significantly improved his physical abilities. It's no exaggeration to say that any single aspect of his physical fitness is now at the level of an international athlete or a super soldier.

Both skills were upgraded, perhaps due to the improvement in mental strength.

The Persuasion skill has evolved, and the duration of [Berserk] has doubled.

However, what interested him even more was the newly acquired [Bronze Body (Transcendent)]

He felt as if his entire body was enveloped by a layer of substance that only he could see, which opened and closed according to his will, like a passive skill.

"It has a good defensive effect against weapons..."

Li Wei's gaze fell on the manual razor on the sink.
