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

Chapter 26

The four major categories refer to four basic attributes. Luolin checked her current situation.

Strength 70, Intelligence 35, Agility 70, Burst 60.

This was without wearing any cards, but if she wanted to use that so-called special weapon, all four needed to be consistent.

This condition had to be said to be too harsh.

Not to mention that Strength and Intelligence differed by double, when Luolin was level 1, all attributes were 10 points, but now there was such a large gap, which meant...

When she leveled up, the growth rate of the four attributes was different.

That also meant that the gap between them would grow larger and larger in the future.

How was she supposed to play this? She couldn't manage it.

However, at this moment, another voice sounded in Luolin's mind:

[Master, buy it. I have a way to let you use it.]"You have a way?"

So Luolin hesitated. Even if the favorability system said there was a way, Luolin couldn't completely rest assured.

Moreover, if this thing was really that powerful, with only 10 copper coins in assets, she probably couldn't afford it, right?

[Rest assured, host. At least this stick has quite high hardness. Even if you can't use that special function, getting a few skills from me is still usable. Of course, you'll need to purchase them with resentment points.]

These two systems weren't helping Luolin—they were just greedy for her points!

Luolin took a light breath, then looked toward Ruide. Luolin picked up the stick again.

"Looks like you quite like it, don't you?"

Ruide said with a smile. Luolin helplessly shook her head:

"I do like it, but I can't use it. Every time I level up, Strength and Agility increase more. As for Intelligence..."

Luolin made an extremely speechless expression, and Ruide believed it.

"Is that so? I thought you were someone who could use this thing. Looks like I'll have to continue waiting for someone with fate."

Ruide said in a very Buddhist manner.

However, Luolin hadn't given up yet. She tentatively asked.

"But I think using this as a stick feels quite handy. Uncle, tell me, how much does this cost?"

"Oh, you want it? That's great. To be honest, this has been sitting in my shop for many years, just gathering dust. If you want it, I'll sell it to you cheap."

"Cheap?"

Luolin desperately concealed her feelings.

"Mm, just 100 gold."

"Screw you!"

Luolin threw the thing down and left directly. This was way too expensive!

A rip-off shop! Time to leave.

"Hey, kid, don't go. I can make it cheaper."

"How about 99 gold?"

Ruide's attempts to keep her were directly ignored by Luolin. Luolin walked straight to the door. She now suspected that Luna and this rip-off shop had some secret deal, the kind where tour guides bring people into shops.

However, when Luolin reached the door, it opened by itself, and three men walked in from outside.

"What's this kid doing here? Move aside, don't block the way. See? We're from the 'Kalie Mercenary Group.'"

The man standing at the front of the three said. Luolin had actually already recognized this guy.

However, this person didn't seem too bright.

"Oh... okay."

Luolin obediently moved his feet aside and made way.

The three men walked toward the counter, which meant they were heading in Ruide's direction.

"Hey! Old man! I'm going to ask you a question now."

"Don't know."

Ruide said directly.

"I haven't even asked yet! Is your brain not working properly, you old thing?"

The man pointed at Ruide as he spoke. Ruide moved away the knife he had brought up a bit.

"If you're here to buy something, then this old man welcomes you, and might even raise the price for you."

"Buy your mother."

"Sorry, not for sale, and this old man's mother has been dead for a long time. I have no mother."

Sometimes, victory or defeat is decided in an instant.

In just these few seconds, at least Ruide had already won.

After failing to out-talk his opponent, he gave up and slapped the counter directly.

"Alright, I don't plan to waste words with you. Tell me, has a guy who looks like a newbie been here before?"

"In this town, there should be many guys who look like newbies. This old man's head doesn't work too well."

Ruide said in a muddled manner.

"So it seems you don't plan to talk."

"No, actually I want to talk. Actually, he's right there, and he's about to run away."

Ruide pointed toward the doorway, where Luolin was just about to leave.

Suddenly called out like this, Luolin froze in place, not knowing what to say.

In any case, Luolin actually didn't plan to cause too much trouble, but the current situation was that trouble had come looking for him.

"Kid, finally found you."

That guy, the drunkard from before, was now looking at Luolin with a ferocious expression.

"Kid, I'm going to show you what I'm capable of. I'm going to avenge my chrysanthemum! You actually dared... dared to do that kind of thing to me!"

"No, you've misunderstood. I don't have that kind of interest!"

Luolin explained helplessly. He seemed to have been misunderstood as a strange person.
