Swallowing the Stars: I'll Destroy the Universe with My Talent Attributes

"Are you talking to me?"

"Yes, big brother."

The cute-eyed girl spoke with certainty.

"Cough cough~"

Having received an affirmative answer, Qin Yuan coughed and continued:

"How old is this year?"

"I was 17, but I got into the top military academy in Jiangnan."

The cute-eyed girl eagerly added.

17, that's a serious punishment!

"Sorry, I don't like small ones."

Qin Yuan refused, his words carrying a double meaning.

You can have women, but not girlfriends!

Even dogs wouldn't talk about love.

Nothing beats the exhilaration of cultivation. Right now, all he wants to do is go back and cultivate the 'Five Hearts Towards Heaven' technique, absorb genetic energy, and improve his strength to prepare for the martial arts combat assessment a month from now. He has no time for these sentimental matters or things that make heroes lose their spirit.

Moreover, Qin Yuan feared that some powerful figure was trying to trick him.

He was very wary, so he had to stay put!

"Ah~ I can grow bigger."

The girl with the cute eyes was no pushover either; she actually understood the hidden meaning in Qin Yuan's words and went straight for the shocking remark.

"..."

One sentence silenced Qin Yuan.

"Ding~ Next stop: Tai'an Station. Passengers, please take your luggage..."

Just then, an audio announcement came on the subway indicating that the train had arrived at its destination. Qin Yuan stood up and darted out of the subway car.

Are all the girls in Swallowing the Stars this fierce? Qin Yuan has truly broadened his horizons.

Indeed, there's a saying from my past life that's very true: boys must take good care of themselves when they're out and about.

Especially those who are handsome.

After exiting the subway car, Qin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the cute-eyed girl hadn't followed him.

He wasn't sure if he had guessed correctly, and even if the girl was an ordinary person, Qin Yuan had no intention of contacting her.

Qin Yuan ran non-stop towards his residential community, Fanrong Jiayuan, taking several meters at a time, as if a great terror was chasing him.

Nothing unexpected happened until they arrived at the door of their apartment building.

'Looks like I was overthinking it.'

Qin Yuan thought to himself, then attributed the incident to a chance occurrence.

He stepped over ten flights of stairs, and in no more than 20 seconds, Qin Yuan arrived at his apartment, room 1002 on the 10th floor.

Bang~ Bang~ Bang

Qin Yuan stretched out his finger and gently knocked on the door of room 1002. There was a peephole on the door.

Before leaving home, his grandmother told him that she would make braised pork for him when he got back, so Qin Yuan didn't bring his keys.

"Click~"

After a short while, the door opened, and Qin Yuan's grandmother still had a kind face, but there was a hint of expectation in the depths of her eyes as she looked at Qin Yuan.

Indeed, what elder doesn't want their children and descendants to succeed!

Telling future generations not to worry is actually a way of offering reassurance.

"Oh, my dear grandson, you're back. Are you tired? Are you hurt?"

Grandma didn't ask about Qin Yuan's test results; instead, she first inquired whether he was injured.

This is what elders are like; their simple words convey a deep love for their children.

"Haha, Grandma, I passed the test."

“In a few days, your grandson will be a formal quasi-martial artist. I will definitely let you live in a detached villa and hire a few nannies to take care of you.”

Qin Yuan felt a little embarrassed about taking the place of the kind old woman's grandson, but after spending the past few days together, he truly regarded this kind old woman as his own grandmother.

Fortunately, his parents had passed away several years ago, otherwise, with Qin Yuan's father's keen observation as a martial artist, he would definitely have noticed his 'difference'.

After all, they are two people. Even if there are memories, habits are not so easy to change. Even if you try to hide it, it is difficult.

"My grandson is really amazing."

Seeing Qin Yuan pat his chest and make his promise, Grandma gave him a thumbs up, and her eyes almost crinkled with laughter as she was already smiling.

It seems that Grandma is just as happy that Qin Yuan passed the preliminary martial artist assessment.

"My dear grandson, come in quickly. I'll go cook two more dishes; we must celebrate today. Our Qin family has a worthy successor."

After Grandma finished speaking, she moved her feet and walked towards the kitchen next to the room, walking three times faster than usual.

After half an hour.

The table was already laden with three meat dishes, three vegetable dishes, and a soup.

The only people enjoying this feast were Qin Yuan and his grandmother.

It's ordinary, but also heartwarming.

Although there were few people, Qin Yuan felt that the environment was very good and suitable for him.

In this world of swallowing stars, Qin Yuan began to feel at home.

......

After finishing the big meal, it was almost 1 p.m.

In the bedroom, Qin Yuan closed the door and habitually locked it. Then he sat on the bed and began to recall the contents of the "Five Hearts Towards Heaven Cultivation Method" that he had memorized during the preliminary martial artist assessment.

Although, according to the plot development, Luo Feng would clash with Zhang Haobai, the first villain to appear, because of his father Luo Hongguo, after thinking it over, he ultimately realized that he could not reasonably intervene in this matter.

The reason is simple: he had just met Luo Feng, and Luo Feng's father, Luo Hongguo, was also bullied by the villain Zhang Haobai because he worked as a loader and porter. What reason would Qin Yuan have to intervene?

You can't just say, "Uncle, you rest, let me do it," that would be too ridiculous!

Qin Yuan was destined to only watch as the story began.

New entry in Chapter 8: [Little Clever Kid]

Inside the bedroom, Qin Yuan sat cross-legged, using his body to 'sensor' the genetic energy that was widely present in the universe, as described in the article "Five Hearts Facing Heaven Cultivation Method".

The so-called "five hearts" is just a posture.

Place the soles of your feet facing upwards, place your hands on your legs with your palms also facing upwards, and place the Baihui acupoint on the top of your head.

Concentrate and focus all your attention on perceiving the primal energy of your genes.

If you can sense it, then you've succeeded more than halfway.

However, 'sensing' the genetic energy is not such a simple matter.

For most geniuses, it takes a day to sense their genetic energy, while for those with less talent, even two and a half years would be difficult.

In the original novel, Qin Yuan remembered that Luo Feng successfully sensed the genetic energy in just a few hours while in the detention center.

From this perspective, even though Luo Feng has not fully awakened his mental power, the small amount of energy 'leaked' when a mental master is activated is enough to make Luo Feng's cultivation talent reach the genius level.

Qin Yuan was under some pressure at this point, as he wanted to catch up with or even surpass Luo Feng.

Because in the detention center, due to the pressure brought by the villains, Luo Feng will soon truly awaken his mental power, at which point his strength will leap three levels.

If Qin Yuan can't keep up with the pace, it will be difficult for him to get involved in Luo Feng's storyline later.

Now that Qin Yuan still has time, he wants to test the talent of his body.

Even if he can't compare to Luo Feng before he awakened his powers, he should still be quite formidable.

One minute, two minutes, one hour, two hours... Five hours passed, and Qin Yuan felt nothing at all.

He felt that there was no so-called genetic energy in the air, but this only proved that his body's talent was really not good. Even if he wasn't at the bottom, he wasn't much better.

"Damn it, cultivation is completely useless! You still need cheat codes!"

Qin Yuan, who had not sensed any genetic energy, grew ruthless.

He originally wanted to be an ordinary person for a day, but reality was too cruel!

I had no choice but to cheat.

Qin Yuan examined his only two talent attributes: [Energy Digestion (Green)] and [Beast Intuition (White)].

One is to enable the body to quickly digest the energy of various substances in the body, enhance physical fitness, and permanently improve absorption efficiency by 200%.

One of his traits gave him a beast-like intuition, greatly enhancing his sensitivity to danger.

Neither 'energy digestion' nor 'beast intuition' can help him sense the genetic energy of the outside world. He needs a new talent attribute that can increase his talent for cultivation!

Qin Yuan currently has 20 Source Points!

According to the system prompts, every 10 Source Points can be used to draw a Talent Attribute once, and he can draw it twice!

Although most of the talent attributes drawn from 10 Source Points are white, and green ones are very rare, it's still worth Qin Yuan's gamble.

Relying solely on self-cultivation is far too slow!

Knock knock knock.

Just as Qin Yuan decided to unleash his cheat code, a knock came at the bedroom door, followed by his grandmother's greeting from outside.

"Yuan'er, come out for dinner."

Qin Yuan suddenly realized that cultivation really takes a lot of time. He felt like he hadn't done anything and the whole afternoon had passed.

Who could stand this!
