To Get Stronger, I’m Forced to Grind Their Affection

Chapter 23

In any case, Luolin first removed the card, then showed his familiar numbers to Luna.

"Oh, that's quite high!"

Luna said in surprise. Luolin took this opportunity to inquire about something:

"The stat increases each person gets when leveling up are different, aren't they?"

"Of course they're different. That's what talent means. The reason some people can never surpass others even if they spend their entire lives trying lies right here."

Indeed, if one person gains 100 strength points per level while another only gains 10 points, how could they possibly compare?

It's simply impossible to compete!

"There's a genius right beside you, you know."

Luna said again. Luolin naturally knew who she was referring to.

"Look at Ailuka. Her strength has already exceeded 600, and her agility is especially high too. After her second class advancement, she'll definitely become even more terrifying."Hearing this, Luolin fell silent.

Others might all know that Ailuka's strength was very high and her future bright, but the truth was that Ailuka had nearly died because of the dragon bloodline that increased her strength.

In fact, before replacing her mechanical heart, Ailuka couldn't even run at high speeds—it would cause her breathing difficulties, so her fighting style could only rely purely on brute force.

Luolin sighed, though he had no intention of speaking about these hardships on Ailuka's behalf.

"Alright, you've seen the stats. Now hurry up and tell me where to go!"

Besides wanting to quickly buy weapons, Luolin was also eager to research what exactly this "Critical Hit Blessing" he had just discovered was.

"When you leave the guild, turn left. There's a weapon shop. The owner has a somewhat eccentric temperament, but I think the items there are just right for you."

Luna said. Luolin nodded and emphasized again:

"Remember what you promised me—don't tell Ailuka where I went, or I really might get killed by her!"

"Fine, I know. Do I look like someone with a scheming personality?"

Luna promised again.

Only then did Luolin leave satisfied. He walked out the guild's main entrance and quickly went to find that weapon shop according to Luna's directions.

Luna watched the direction Luolin left in, seeing him off until he walked out of the guild, and even then remained lost in thought for quite a while.

"Hey! What are you looking at? Hurry up and serve this great lord!"

"Oh! Hello sir, how may I help you..."

Luna snapped back to attention and immediately looked at the person before her, ready to get to work. However, the person's face made her feel rather uncomfortable, because this was that guy from last time who had gotten drunk and openly harassed her.

"Hehe, Miss Luna, haven't seen you in several days. Did you miss me?"

The man laughed coldly a few times. He noticed Luna's disgust, but not only did he not retreat because of it, he seemed even more excited.

"What's this? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Then he reached out to touch Luna's face, but Luna dodged.

"Sir, please don't do this, or I'll have to report you to the guild."

"Tch, just a receptionist acting all high and mighty?"

The man said again. However, faced with Luna's look of disgust and indifference, he withdrew his hand.

"Don't worry, our target today isn't you, but that brat. That guy actually dared to... me last time..."

As he spoke, he touched his rear end, as if recalling something rather unpleasant.

It was a night filled with gorillas...

"Damn it! I'll make him pay! Tell me, where did he go? You should know, right?"

He pressured Luna. Luna put on an indifferent expression:

"I couldn't care less what you do to him."

"Oh, how heartless, to do this! Then tell me quickly, and my brothers and I will make that guy learn his lesson today!"

Behind him were two other men, with the same badges pinned to their chests, clearly from the same group.

Luna still looked indifferent as she pointed in a direction:

"Out the door, the prop shop on the right."

"Brothers, let's go!"

The three immediately ran toward the door, but he actually didn't believe Luna's words.

"Hmph, this woman is trying to trick me. That guy looks like a newbie who doesn't even have a weapon. Let's go to the weapon shop and find him one by one!"

The three looked fierce and menacing, and others who saw them kept their distance to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Not long after, Ailuka also rushed out of her room. She searched everywhere but didn't see Luolin, then headed straight for the front desk.

"Luna, where is that guy? Where did he go?"

"Well... I actually promised him I wouldn't tell you. He said you would kill him."

Luna seemed somewhat troubled.

"That's right, I'm going to kill him! Where is he?"

Ailuka bit her lip, looking furious. Luna had promised Luolin not to tell Ailuka:

"Out the door, turn left to the weapon shop."
