No strange things are allowed to evolve!

But why can someone who possesses boundless sand control this white silk floss?

That's strange...

Jiang Shu just couldn't understand it no matter what.

He had a feeling that there was some secret about this incubator that he didn't know.

To find out what the secret is, we are still missing crucial information.

He suddenly had a sense of familiarity.

Think about it carefully, if we hadn't seen Confusion in the Creative Workshop and Lie Town, wouldn't the situation be very similar to what we have now?

And there's one more important thing we can't forget.

Although Boundless Sand is a hidden reward, my friend's notes had already indicated that this incubator was suspected of containing Boundless Sand.

"It's time to go back."

Jiang Shu took a deep breath.

Adding skill points, preparing for advancement, and continuing to search for clues about friends—I'll probably be quite busy for a while...

Chapter 181 Jiang Shu has a captivating charm

After returning home, Jiang Shu made a simple plan on how to add points.

There's no need to waste points on physical strength. The higher your charm, the more physical strength you get from the boundless sand. You can easily step on the other foot with the left.

In addition, since I am born with a spiritual root of love and desire, my priority is to be charming.

However, strength cannot be neglected. After all, no matter how much you increase it, you still need to have a certain base value. The result of multiplying one by one hundred is vastly different from the result of multiplying two by one hundred, so you have to put in the effort.

For speed, just take the average of level six, and leave the rest for strength and charm.

Anyway, once your charm level increases, your physical strength will also reach an absurd level, making you very resilient. So there's no need to insist on being fast enough or having maxed-out evasion. Just reach an average level to meet your daily needs, and you won't have to deal with situations like your teammates running far ahead while you're still lagging behind.

As for whether the attack will hit, with the [Pocket Watch of the Dead] and the puppets as double insurance, and since I only need to attack once, it shouldn't be a problem.

Intelligence, aside from mental resistance, only affects the improvement of skill proficiency and control.

Mental resistance stems from a strong, unyielding spirit, making one immune to all poisons. Skill proficiency and learning are not currently essential.

Skills acquired from the hatchery can be used without learning; intelligence is only required when learning advanced skills from the skill tree.

The skills and items I currently have are mostly of the Cataclysmic level or higher. I haven't unlocked any of the prerequisites for these skills on the skill tree yet. I can always find them later when I need them.

After making the decision, Jiang Shu first added 7 points to the speed. After multiplying it by four and adding the initial 2 points, the speed reached 30 points, which is exactly the average value of a level 6 evolver.

Immediately after Jiang Shu's personal panel changed, he felt his body become much lighter.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Shu picked up a porcelain plate from the dining table and tossed it toward the living room.

The moment the porcelain plate slipped from his hand, Jiang Shu moved.

Like an eagle swooping down, or a vicious dog pouncing on its prey, he headed straight for that parabolic trajectory.

He had never felt like he was sprinting so fast.

He stretched out his hand, feeling the wind brushing against his palm.

"F-cup..." Jiang Shu's eyes narrowed: "One hundred kilometers per hour!"

Immediately afterwards, he reached out with his other hand and caught the porcelain plate he had thrown.

"Great! I can play frisbee by myself now."

According to Jiang Shu's memory, this speed should still be a bit slower than that of the abbot of Yunfu Temple back then, but it was enough. If he had this speed back then, he could at least have barely dealt with many of the opponent's attacks without using the [Pocket Watch of the Dead].

Furthermore, the opponent is not an ordinary level six evolver. If it is enough to deal with him, it should be more than enough to deal with others of the same level.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Shu looked at Meili.

At this point, if you include the 6 evolution points you get when you reach level 6, you will have 37 points left.

Charm and power are about equal.

However, since her strength had already become somewhat overwhelming, and her status as the queen of charm could not be changed, Jiang Shu added 20 points to charm.

The three extra points compared to Strength are: firstly, to round up, and secondly, to compensate for the lack of Charisma.

Normally, Jiang Shu's charm value should become: the original 22 before the 50% boost from [Charm Bloom], plus 80 points multiplied by four, and then boosted again by [Charm Bloom], finally becoming 153.

But a problem arose.

"What does it mean that a single ability value cannot exceed the sum of the threshold values ​​for the next lower level?"

Charm is locked at 150, which is the total threshold of level six ability values.

Fortunately, evolution points, like experience points, will not be consumed.

After Jiang Shu reached level six, the maximum value increased from 150 to 210, while her charm value remained at 153.

But he was still very angry. He had no idea that there was a limit to the value; no one had ever told him about it.

But after thinking about it carefully, he let it go.

Evolution points are extremely rare. Normal evolvers have already exhausted all their efforts just to accumulate enough to meet the threshold. It's unlikely that anyone would have the same conditions as me to have an overflow of ability points.

"Could it be... that I'm the first person to discover this mechanism?" Jiang Shu rubbed his chin, the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Actually, I almost discovered it before, but because the threshold for level four is 60, and he had just reached 58 strength when he was at level three, which was just short, the mechanism was not triggered, which is why it has been left until now.

However, he didn't really like this mechanism.

If there's a limit to the total amount, that's fine, but a limit to a single subject is too unfair for a player like him who excels in only one subject.

This means that if you want to maximize your stats at a certain level and become invincible among your peers, you can only strive to become a well-rounded warrior.

This also indicates that there is a clear upper limit to the strength of a certain level.

When everyone's level is low, there's still a possibility of the underdog overpowering the master. But as you progress, it becomes increasingly difficult for the underdog to defy the master, because the threshold for advancement increases.

"It really is a strict hierarchy..." Jiang Shu shook his head.

However, he wasn't too worried.

He didn't think there was another person besides himself who could push the values ​​to the limit at every level.

This is merely a theoretical concern.

He then added the remaining 17 points to Strength.

Strength value also increased from 62 to 130 points.

Now, once the sublimation is completed, the physical strength will also increase significantly.

After using up all the evolution points from the two incubators in one go, Jiang Shu went from being a rich man to being penniless again.

However, while they became poorer, they also became stronger.

Although the increase in charisma wasn't very noticeable, the increase in power made him feel like he was filled with explosive energy.

Jiang Shu was extremely arrogant at the moment, and he picked up the phone directly.

The call was answered quickly.

"Hey?" Jiang Shu put her hands on her hips: "Go and call Shen Mo over!"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone: "This is Shen Mo. Are you alright?"

"Oh right, you're Shen Mo." Jiang Shu nodded. "Sorry, I feel like my brain is just a big, well-developed muscle right now."

“…” Shen Mo sighed: “If you’re really free, could you come to work?”

Jiang Shu then remembered to check the time.

It's almost noon, and the check-in time has long passed.

He suddenly paused, stunned.

Shen Mo had no idea that he had entered the incubator, so why was he reacting this way when he hadn't gone to work?

"What's wrong with you? I'm late and this is your attitude?"

That's called absenteeism!

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"..." Shen Mo fell silent again: "I called you, but you didn't answer. I was worried that something had happened to you, and I was planning to go to your house to check on you. So what's going on? You didn't oversleep, did you?"

But Jiang Shu still felt something was wrong. He became serious: "Wait a minute, let's not talk about this now. I feel like you're acting really strange today. If that's what you're saying, then shouldn't you be questioning me or yelling at me now that the phone is finally connected?"

"Actually, that's what I wanted to do." Shen Mo sighed repeatedly on the other end of the line, "But for some reason, after hearing your voice, I suddenly wasn't so angry anymore, and I felt so glad that you were alright."

"?"

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, you've been so busy these past few days, it's okay to take a day off if you don't want to go to work."

"?"

"By the way, has your voice always been this magnetic?"

"Holy shit, you're kind of scary."

Jiang Shu couldn't help but swear.

My charm value has only increased by a mere 120 points compared to before, how can it be so domineering?

This has become so serious that it's affecting my daily life.

If it's already this exaggerated that Shen Mo only heard his own voice over the phone, what would happen if other low-level evolved beings or even ordinary people saw him directly?

What should I do?

"Um," he said nervously to Shen Mo, "bro, could you perhaps have someone with higher intelligence talk to me instead?"

"No, no, no, I didn't mean you're mentally challenged..."

"Ah, no, no, it's not about the courage spiritual root..."

"You might not believe it, but I'm not the same person I used to be. My charm level is a bit high now, and you've probably been influenced by it."

"Who's bragging to you? Think about it carefully. Are you really capable of saying those things?"

"What? The minister is right next to you? That's great! Ask him to answer the phone."

After a short wait, the voice on the other end of the phone became that of the minister.

Moreover, his tone sounded quite normal, which relieved Jiang Shu.

However, the minister was also somewhat surprised: "Just how high is your charm level?"

"It must be about three or four stories high."

"I'm not kidding you, how much exactly?"

"Hmm..." Jiang Shu thought to herself, since everyone already knew she had a love and desire spiritual root, and she was now counting on them to help her solve the problem of her uncontrollable charm leakage, she didn't hide anything: "Around one hundred and fifty..."

"How much?!" The minister was clearly surprised. "One hundred and fifty? You're not already at level six, are you?"

Jiang Shu was taken aback, wondering if the minister knew about the upper limit.

"Ah...yes, I just reached level six." Jiang Shu explained, "Actually, I just came out of the incubation site and got some Boundless Sand, so I called the team leader, thinking of asking him to contact you and see when we could prepare for the sublimation, but I didn't expect..."

"Okay, I understand. We'll talk about the ascension when you get here. For now, take a look at your skill tree. In the Lust tree, is there a Nightmare-level skill called Disenchantment?"

"Okay, I'll take a look."

Jiang Shu quickly opened the skill tree and soon found the skill the minister had mentioned.

Its function is to control the outward release of charm, and it requires ten points of spiritual root to exchange for.

Jiang Shu was dumbfounded. Damn it, [Charm Bloom] only requires one point, why does [De-Charm] require ten points?

Is it really harder to put on clothes than to take them off?

"found it."

"Do you have enough spiritual root points to learn?"

"Enough," Jiang Shu replied with difficulty.

"Then learn it. Once you learn it, you'll be able to control your charm."

A moment later.

"Minister, why is there still a 24-hour countdown to the start of the training?"
