Chapter 21 Foolish Moon Shadow
After walking for half a day, and with their stamina, they were almost out of the outer perimeter, about 20 kilometers from the camp. Shen Yaoxing decided to stop and rest, choosing a place near the stream to rest.
Along the way, they encountered two groups of mud-eating monsters. They didn't even bother to avoid them. An Yourong rushed forward with her sword and swept it across, killing the mud-eating monsters in pieces.
Lu Ren took out water and dry food from his bag and handed them to Shen Yaoxing. Then he took out his own food and sat down to see what lunch was for today: two pounds of flavored beef, one pound of pork jerky, and three compressed biscuits... Let's dig in!
Jiang Yueying was disgusted by his appetite, so she hugged her little rice ball and kept her distance.
"Isn't this amount of food a bit abnormal? Is it because the heavens are jealous?" Lin Huanghu suddenly asked.
"Is the heavens jealous?" Jiang Yueying and An Yourong also looked over, somewhat curious.
Lu Ren was taken aback upon hearing this, but subconsciously looked at Shen Yaoxing.
Miss Shen is very well-mannered; she never speaks while eating or sleeping. But now she puts down her lunch and slowly says:
"Actually, I also have a question."
Shen Yaoxing looked at Jiang Yueying and said calmly:
"If I remember correctly, that kid was still a Flowing Firefly Realm professional yesterday, right? Did he break through his bottleneck during yesterday's battle?"
Jiang Yueying was a little intimidated by her aura and stammered, "Yes, it was during the battle with the Yellow Mud Monster yesterday... that I broke through."
Lin felt a bad feeling creeping into his mind. He realized he had been too talkative. Asking about someone's talent was a very offensive thing to do, especially to someone he wasn't familiar with.
"Congratulations! But as far as I know, the Swamp Monster's two skills, Swamp Mist and Swamp Gas Explosion, require 500 elemental points to learn."
"You said you wanted to obtain the swamp monster's spirit remains for her, but a mage who has just broken through to the Candle Illumination Realm shouldn't have such a high elemental affinity attribute, right?"
Or are you planning to acquire it first, and then absorb it once your attributes have improved? But the preservation period for spirit remains is no more than three days; you must know that.
"So, how high do your initial stats need to be to be able to absorb the 'swamp gas explosion' skill, which has an attribute requirement close to that of a bronze-level skill and is close to silver-level, right after breaking through the Candle Illumination Realm?"
I just calculated that with an initial main attribute value of 29, the initial value upon entering the Candle Illumination Realm is 432.9, which isn't enough. Could it be that Little Moon Shadow's initial main attribute value is 30?
Lu Ren also realized this at this moment. Others don't have the talent 'Arrogance' like him. Even geniuses like Shen Yaoxing, who has only just broken through to the Candle Illumination Realm, how could he have such high attributes? Could it really be that the initial value of the main attribute is 30?
If that's the case, then this talent is truly terrifying.
When awakening a profession, the maximum initial total attribute points is 36, but each attribute must have at least 1 point. Therefore, 8 points will be deducted from the 8 secondary attributes, while the maximum initial value of the primary attribute can only reach 28 points.
However, this panel is rounded up. Some girls who are physically weaker may only have less than one point in their physique, such as 0.8 or 0.7, or other attributes may not reach the level of 1 point for ordinary people, but they will probably be higher than 0.5. In the end, they will all show 1 point, so the theoretical limit of the highest value is 30 points.
However, throughout history, only a handful of people have achieved an initial value of 30 for their main attribute. There are a total of 8 such individuals in the Yu Kingdom. One of them was the founding emperor of the Yu Kingdom, and the other 7 were also top professionals who left their mark on history. They successively established the seven most prestigious clans in the Yu Kingdom today.
Oh, it's a new era now, they're called the six major guilds.
Of course, there is also a second possibility, which is that someone like Shen Yaoxing, after gaining attribute boosts at night through the talent 'Ominous Star', can learn skills that cannot be learned at this stage.
Shen Yaoxing looked at Jiang Yueying with a kind smile and asked curiously:
"So, little sister Jiang Yueying, just how high are your initial attributes?"
Or do you have a talent that can boost your attributes? If that's the case, it makes sense, but talents that can boost attributes must be very powerful, right? And wouldn't some people be jealous of them?
Can I tell my sister about it?
The atmosphere wasn't exactly tense, but Shen Yaoxing's words were somewhat aggressive because her companion was asked about her personal privacy.
Even An Yourong realized that Lin Huanghu seemed to have said something wrong. She stammered, and the atmosphere became noticeably tense.
However, one person remained completely unaffected by this atmosphere.
"Wow, that's amazing! You figured it out so quickly..."
Jiang Yueying couldn't detect Shen Yaoxing's aggressive tone at all; she was simply shocked by how quickly Shen Yaoxing had calculated things.
She thought Shen Yaoxing was simply curious about whether she could learn 'methane explosion', so she honestly explained:
"After my breakthrough, I'll be able to learn 'Methane Explosion,' you see..."
Jiang Yueying then pulled up her attribute panel right in front of them.
Name: Jiang Yueying
[Occupation: Fire Mage]
[Level: Early Stage of the Candle Illumination Realm]
【Attributes: 486 (Main 480, Secondary 6)】
[Constitution: Physique (1), Vitality (1), Weapon Manipulation (1)]
【Affinity: Elements (480) Living Beings (2) Rules (2)】
[Spirit: Yin and Yang (1) Resonance (1) Inspiration (1)]
【talent】:
Combustion: When you use high-temperature and high-heat skills, the power will be greatly amplified.
Fire Resistance: You have extremely high resistance to fire and high heat, and are immune to burning effects caused by yourself.
Elemental Domination: Your elemental affinity is very strong, but other attributes will be suppressed to one-tenth.
【Skill】:
[Burning] Quality: Bronze, Learning Requirement: 50 Elemental Points
Effect: Unleashes intense flames, scorching enemies in front.
Lu Ren was stunned when he saw the attribute panel in front of him.
No, it's revealed already?
Didn't we agree that the attribute panel shouldn't be shown to others easily?
However, after seeing the girl's true nature, Lu Ren was so frightened that he couldn't speak.
Having just broken through to the Candle Illumination Realm, his total attributes already reached a staggering 486?
No, element affinity is 480?
What does this mean?
In other words, when Jiang Yueying reaches her bottleneck, her attribute can reach 972!
Shen Yaoxing is currently at the bottleneck stage of the Candle Illumination Realm. Her main attribute, Inspiration, is only over 500, which already surpasses 99.99% of professionals of the same level.
This little guy's profession is a very common fire mage, and his talents of "burning" and "fire resistance" are also unremarkable, but he is an absolute numerical monster!
Lu Ren looked at Shen Yaoxing, whose expression had become somewhat blank, despite her earlier aggressive demeanor.
No, where did your confident look go? I thought you had already guessed the answer, but it turns out you were scared too?
Over there, An Yourong realized what was happening and said to Jiang Yueying with some anger:
"Moonshadow, how many times have I told you? You can't just show your attribute panel to anyone!"
"Huh? But, but aren't we teammates right now?"
"That's true, but, um..."
An Yourong didn't know how to explain it to her.
The information on the attribute panel is only known to trusted partners. They are currently just a temporary team and cannot be considered trusted partners.
Jiang Yueying has been a loner since childhood. Apart from herself and Lin Huanghu, she has no other friends and doesn't know how to get along with people. Sometimes she is just clumsy like that.
"Anyway, you can't just show it to anyone. You have to ask my or Ah Huang's opinion first!"
At this moment, Lin, who was standing to the side, said in a daze:
"It's alright, Miss Lu and her family aren't outsiders. In fact, Miss Lu's family and my family have close business ties..."
