People in America: My Uncle Don Quixote

coming!

Li Wei slowed his pace and looked down using the remaining light from the second-floor corridor lamps.

Don Quixote was standing at the bedroom door, dressed in armor.

Unlike before, Don Quixote did not immediately push open the door tonight, but remained motionless, like a still sculpture.

"Don Quixote?" Li Wei walked up to him and called softly, "Long time no see?"

Don Quixote took a long time to turn his head back.

"Ah, Knight Levi, my friend...you've come at the right time," his voice was deep, yet tinged with a hint of excitement. "After ten months of arduous training in the desolate frontier, I feel...that bottleneck that has bound me for so many years is finally about to loosen."

Li Wei chuckled inwardly, but still played along, saying, "So, you're getting a promotion?"

"Indeed!" Don Quixote exclaimed. "The moon shines bright tonight; it is the perfect moment to break through ranks and reclaim knightly glory!"

After he finished speaking, he strode towards the small garden at the back gate.

In that instant, Li Wei felt that familiar voice ring out in his mind once again:

You have received the quest: Protector.

Don Quixote is at a crucial moment in his journey to transcendence, and as his friend, you need to ensure he is not disturbed by dark creatures in the next 30 minutes.

[Task Reward: +0.1 Free Attribute Points]

It's been more than 10 days, and it's finally here.

Li Wei's lips curled up slightly as he followed Don Quixote onto the stone slabs of the back garden.

"Where are the icons we brought back earlier?" Don Quixote looked around and then walked back. "I'll go and bring them back."

Seeing that he was about to walk back and recklessly move the statue, Li Wei quickly stopped him.

"I'll go!" he quickly said. "You need to save your energy for your breakthrough! Don't waste it here!"

If Don Quixote were to actually try to move it and find that he couldn't, wouldn't he have to go into seclusion again? Would Livy have to wait another 10 days?

He hurriedly went back into the house and moved the plaster lion statue, which had been brought back two weeks earlier and was now covered in peeling gold paint, to the front.

"The statue will witness this moment," Don Quixote said, sitting cross-legged before the plaster statue. "Friend, please protect this sacred land for me. Until I complete my cycle of rebirth and the reforging of holy light, not even the lord of hell himself may set foot here."

"clear!"

Livy sat crouching on the steps, one hand supporting his chin, the other holding an electric mosquito swatter, ready to support Don Quixote at any moment.

Over the next 30 minutes, Don Quixote closed his eyes, his breathing slowed, and his whole body trembled slightly.

Meanwhile, Li Wei guarded Don Quixote late at night with an electric mosquito swatter, the swatter crackling occasionally.

Until 30 minutes later.

Don Quixote breathed a sigh of relief and stood up from the ground.

A panel popped up in Li Wei's mind at the same time:

[Mission: Protection Completed]

Under your protection, the knight Don Quixote successfully completed his "transformation".

[Reward: +0.1 Free Attribute Points]

Before Li Wei could even feel happy, another panel popped up:

You witnessed the knight's 'transformation' up close.

Constitution +0.1

[Constitution 1.4] - [Constitution 1.5]

Double yolk egg!

Unexpectedly, after 10 days without triggering the task, it triggered again and it was a double reward, giving me 0.2 attribute points.

Just as Don Quixote was about to try to move the icon himself again, Livy, without even having time to add any more points, quickly threw down the electric mosquito swatter and rushed forward to take over the task.

"I feel myself filled with power," Don Quixote said as he returned inside. "Now I can begin preparing for the expedition."

"An expedition?" Li Wei asked curiously. "Weren't the witches already defeated?"

"The witch is only the immediate threat, my friend," Don Quixote said earnestly. "We have enemies much further away."

Well, it must be that Don Quixote recently bought a new chivalric fantasy novel, so his storyline has been updated.

However, Li Wei was quite happy about it, since he could trigger missions more frequently while Don Quixote was sleepwalking, compared to the uncertainty of triggering missions outside.

"Please allow me to join your expedition!"

Li Wei spoke loudly, while secretly activating "Talkative" in an attempt to influence Don Quixote.

This request was perfectly reasonable for the knight Don Quixote, and with the added advantage of his skills, he nodded in satisfaction without much effort.

He patted Li Wei solemnly on the shoulder, then dragged his clanking armor back to the bedroom. Not long after, that familiar, muffled snoring sound once again echoed from the first floor.

Li Wei returned to his bedroom on the second floor and looked at the extra free attribute points.

His previous physical experience led him to change his strategy; simply piling on strength would cause a delay between muscle and nerve reaction speed.

He decisively changed his strategy and invested 0.1 attribute points into Agility.

Agility 1.5 - Agility 1.6

The rapid improvement in both physical fitness and agility made Li Wei feel that his physical sensations had reached a new level.

His heartbeat became more steady and powerful. Upon closer inspection, Li Wei placed his hand on his pectoral muscles and could feel the powerful force that seemed to burst out of his body.

The powerful pump can instantly deliver a high concentration of oxygen to every muscle fiber.

The increased agility also brought about a significant change in his sensory perception of nerve conduction speed, making the feeling of moving at will and hitting exactly where he pointed a more pronounced.

Li Wei couldn't help but look out the window.

来到纽约已经快一个月了，获得的系统让他的力量从0.8涨到了1.8，精神从1.0增加到了1.5，敏捷从0.9增长到了1.6，体质从0.8涨到了1.5。

The changes brought about by this can be described as earth-shattering. He went from a sub-healthy novice who struggled to push a 40-kilogram barbell and who was neither stupid nor smart, to a super strong man who can bench press 225 kilograms, squat 280 kilograms, and learn a rather difficult foreign language in two weeks (he can now understand slow-speed Russian news).

With this kind of physical ability, let alone participating in a high school team, even in a higher-level university league, his physical ability can be described as bulldozing-level.

Not to mention, he also gained two skills that were practically bugged, and a bronze body whose principles he still doesn't understand, which gave him increased resistance to attacks and various diseases and plagues.

What's even more outrageous is that his power seems to be increasing without limit.

Presumably, when his individual attribute reaches 3.0, his body may be able to evolve further.

"Tomorrow is the first day of school," Li Wei closed his eyes. "I hope my classmates are all easy-going people."
