Thanks for the invitation, I am in the state of collapse, brushing attribute upgrade

However, even though he said this, a hint of hesitation flashed across Otto's eyes.

Otto thought of another safer chess piece, but the right time had not yet come. Revealing it too early might cause more variables, which made Otto a little hesitant.

"But the best doesn't always have a good ending... Take Walter Joyce for example..."

Xukong Wanzang didn't seem to be really worried that Otto would lock him up in a small dark room, and kindly reminded Otto.

"Ah……"

In response, Otto just chuckled.

"why not?

At the right time, in the right place, making the right choice for the good of the world..."

Chapter 25 Half-month achievements and upgrades

"Ninety-seven..."

"Ninety-eight..."

"Ninety-nine……"

His throat, dry as the cracked earth after a long drought, could hardly make a sound. Gwyn felt as if all the water in his body had left with the sweat. He could only count silently in his heart. His arms, which had reached their limit, trembled as he lifted the heavy barbell.

Gwen, who was only one step away from completing today's training, did not relax at all. He slowly bent his arms according to the training instructions and put the barbell back on the stand with trembling hands. At this moment, Gwen's tense breath dissipated and he gasped for breath.

Two weeks have passed since the day I learned these basic exercise equipment under Anna's guidance.

During these two weeks, Gwen lived a fulfilling life every day.

Every day, I woke up early to do morning exercises accompanied by Orchiddale and Anna. After breakfast, I studied theoretical knowledge with the reservists who were four or five years younger than me, but generally taller than me. After lunch, I enjoyed a good night's sleep, and then I did some physical exercise in the afternoon...

Because his body was too weak, Gwyn could not even undergo the same level of training as the reserves of the same level. He could only train alone according to the plan given by the two active B-level Valkyries, Yulandel and Anna.

Although the exercise plan, which is supported by data and scientific basis, will not damage Gwen's physical foundation, it will make Gwen exhausted after each day's exercise, allowing Gwen to fall asleep as soon as he touches the pillow every day and enjoy high-quality sleep.

With such continuous exercise and nutritional supplements, although only half a month has passed, Gwen's body has shown visible changes.

His originally fair and slender limbs had obviously become thicker, making Gwyn no longer look as thin as before, and he looked stronger overall.

Even without looking at the data on the ability panel, Gwyn could feel that his body had become stronger.

The upgrade system panel clearly showed Gwen's progress—

"Gwen——level 1

Strength - D511

Durability——D599

Dexterity - E413

Spirit - EX

Energy - D500

Energy system: None

In just half a month, Gwyn's strength and endurance both exceeded 500, and his agility barely reached the E level, which can be described as an astonishingly rapid level of progress.

If the initial values of this upgrade system are the same as the grace of Dicuo, then placing Gwyn in the world of Dicuo will probably become a new urban legend.

Before the protagonist with the experience BUFF "Devoted" appeared, the sword princess Ess Wallenstein, who held the fastest leveling speed, took a full year to reach level 2.

If he can maintain his current pace, Gwyn estimates that he will be able to fully upgrade his attributes within a month.

The speed of the protagonist Bell, who is almost equivalent to that of a cheater, far exceeds that of the sword princess Ess that Loki has praised for several years.

Of course, although Gwyn put in countless efforts to obtain this data, he did not attribute it all to his own efforts and talents.

Gwen clearly realized that his ability to reach a level almost equivalent to that of a cheating protagonist without any experience buffs also relied on some external help.

During this half month, Gwen was called to a laboratory every few days and soaked in the nutrient tank for several hours, just like taking a medicinal bath on the set of the martial arts or fantasy movies next door.

Although he did not know what this thing was from the staff, just based on the refreshing feeling he felt after soaking in it, Gwen confirmed that it was worth a lot of money.

For this kind of financial investment, which he probably could not earn in his previous life, Gwen was not shameless enough to attribute it to his own efforts.

The medicinal baths and subsequent physical examinations every few days were also one of the reasons why Gwen dared to relax in training and not worry about damaging his physical foundation due to this exhausting training.

His gaze slowly moved up from the hugely changing ability value, and Gwen's gaze focused on the "lv1" behind his name, which was still dim and did not show the upgrade word.

Although there is still some distance before the value reaches 999, Gwyn has already started thinking about how to upgrade.

"If upgrading here is the same as in the Earth World, then I might need to apply for a virtual training room..."

Recalling the few pieces of information about the world of the underworld in his mind, Gwyn pondered in his heart.

Since the invitation letter he sent out previously did not receive a response and he had no chance to perform missions as a reserve, the only way Gwen could think of to obtain "great achievements" for the time being was the virtual training room.

Although it is just a simulation, the combat effectiveness of the enemies inside is guaranteed.

At least, most of the enemies recorded can crush Gwyn.

By defeating the enemies simulated in the virtual training room, you may also be able to obtain "great achievements".

Of course, because he felt that his upgrade system was very similar to the grace of the Earthly World, Gwyn had always been looking at his system based on the situation of the Earthly World.

However, this did not mean that Gwyn forgot that this was only speculation.

While thinking about how to obtain "great achievements", Gwen was also considering other possible ways to upgrade...

Just as Gwen closed his eyes and thought, waiting for the fatigue in his body to subside, a little chill suddenly touched Gwen's forehead, causing him to feel a little tired under the influence of his body, and his spirit was suddenly shocked.

Gwen opened his eyes subconsciously and met a pair of bright wine-red eyes and a bright smile on that pretty face.

“Rita?

You're back? "

With just one glance, Gwen recognized the identity of the person. It was Rita, who had been on a mission outside for half a month.

"Well, being recognized at a glance, it seems that Rita still holds some place in your heart..."

Although she spoke humble words, Rita had a slightly "malicious" smile on her pretty face with a finger against her lips.

"After all, Rita, you were the one who visited me every day with Youlan Dell for that month. How could I possibly forget?"

Faced with Rita, who wanted to tease him, who could barely be called a young boy, Gwen chose to tell the truth and looked into her beautiful wine-red eyes without dodging.

"...

It seems that Rita made the right choice to come here first after handing over the task..."

Hearing Gwen's answer, the curve of Rita's lips deepened a little, the smile on her pretty face became softer, and the movement of wiping the sweat off Gwen's face with her hands became more gentle.

"Come on, close your eyes..."

"Um……"

Gwen nodded slightly, closed his eyes as Rita said, and let the little hand holding the slightly cool handkerchief wipe his face, enjoying the refreshing feeling brought by the coolness.

Chapter 26 Coincidence with Rita

Gently wiping the sweat off Gwen's cheeks, Rita couldn't help but sigh inwardly as she looked at Gwen's face, which had a little more lines than she remembered, but was still adorable.

It is because there will soon be one less lovely child in the world, and also for Gwyn's future.

Although it took half a month to carry out the mission, Rita, who did not fall into communication silence, still learned about Gwyn's general situation from Yulandel.

Although she didn't know why Gwyn chose to take his current path, Rita almost without hesitation identified the culprit as her beloved bishop.

Based on the understanding of Gwen that Rita had built up over the previous month of interaction, she didn't think that Gwen would suddenly make the decision to join the reserve, which was not suitable for his physical condition.

And the only person who could do this was obviously Otto...

Unlike the relatively innocent Yulandel, Rita knew more about Otto's true face hidden in the sun, and was more aware of Otto's unusual attitude towards Gwyn, and came to a conclusion similar to Gwyn's -

Gwyn is probably an important pawn in some plan.

Rita was powerless to do anything about this and could only try her best to provide some insignificant help and pray that Gwyn could survive to see the end of the unknown plan.

As for Otto, does he really just want to train Gwyn, the visitor from the Quantum Sea?

It's completely wishful thinking that I can't see where the benefits are.

"Thank you, Rita."

Soon, Rita wiped the sweat off Gwen's face with a handkerchief. Gwen, with a hint of floral scent on his face, slowly sat up and thanked Rita with a smile.

"You're welcome... Consider it compensation for not being able to pick you up from the hospital as agreed..."

Looking at the little adult-like Gwen in front of her, Rita couldn't help but feel a surge of affection in her heart——

Although he is a different type from the young Lord Yulandel, he is still a very cute child...

"It's a pity that such a cute child will grow up quickly after such hard training..."

Although she had some slightly foul thoughts in her mind, the smile on Rita's face was still perfect and there was nothing wrong with it.

"Hey, Rita, you also have a mission. Do I look like someone who would be so petty?"

Gwen, who was not yet aware that he was a young boy, naturally had no idea what the maid in front of him was thinking. He smiled and shook his head.

"Then Rita, I'll take that as your consent..."

Rita chuckled and stood up. The soft black stockings on her slender legs reflected a charming halo under the light.

Reaching out to pull Gwen up, Rita couldn't help but smile when she saw that Gwen didn't stagger.

"It seems that your training during this period has been very effective..."

Even without Gwen's current detailed data, Rita, who was familiar with Gwen's physical condition, knew very well that completing this level of training would have been completely impossible for Gwen half a month ago. Even if he completed it, he would be completely exhausted and even have to lie in bed for a while.

But in just half a month, Gwen had made such great progress that even Rita was a little surprised.

"As the saying goes, 'More sweat in peacetime, less blood in war.' If you don't train hard, you'll bleed on the battlefield."

Hearing this, Gwen just smiled innocently and replied with a smile.

Gwen only regarded the praise from the pretty maid as a compliment for his own hard work.

Of course, Gwyn was aware of the extraordinary progress he had made.

But in the headquarters of Destiny, which has the most advanced equipment in the world, Gwyn can't pretend to be a pig, so he simply shows it all.

Anyway, with the precedent of Ulvadell that "as long as you work hard, you can achieve it", Gwyn estimated that Destiny or Otto would be more accepting of his rapid progress.

Moreover, based on Gwyn's understanding of Otto, even if this chess piece of his showed an extraordinary speed of progress, as long as he was not as uncontrollable as Siegfried in the second collapse, the possibility of being killed was still small.

After all, Orchiddale and Rita might just be coincidences, but coupled with Amber's visit and the instructor Anna Shaniat, who seemed to be arranged by the system...

If Gwyn's guess was correct, these girls who met and interacted with him without any intention were also part of Otto's big net to bind him, a chess piece.

As long as these ties are numerous and strong enough, the chances of this chess piece slipping out of control will be lower, and the chances of it being directly abandoned will also be lower...

As long as they have time to develop, it remains to be seen who will be the hunter and who will be the prey.

With his ability points increasing by thousands in total in half a month, Gwyn basically put aside his worries that he would be one of the countless mediocre level 1 adventurers for the rest of his life.

"Well, it seems that you, Gwen, have already awakened to your potential as a warrior. Keep working hard then...

But be careful not to overtrain..."

Hearing Gwen's words, Rita nodded slightly, and her eyes looking at Gwen became softer.

Rita really likes this cute, well-behaved and sensible child.

"Don't worry, I'm not smart, but I won't do anything reckless. I will definitely train according to the plan."

Gwen's keen mind noticed Rita's genuine concern and love, and his smile became more sincere as he made the assurance with a smile.

"So... for the hard-working student Gwen, what would you like to eat tonight?"

Taking advantage of the precious opportunity before Gwen's body developed, Rita touched Gwen's head and asked with a smile.

"As for me, I don't know much about food..."
