Chapter 9 Cousin
After returning home, Li Gao was going to find a slender little red rope, string up the small square cards and hang them on his chest, so that he could absorb the potential breath in them.
But before he could finish this, he found that the cold aura on the small square card began to weaken, and the progress of absorbing potential also began to slow down, and after a while it stopped completely.
At this point, Li Dao understood in his heart that all the potential in the dark red square card had been absorbed by him.
And the potential in his attribute information is still at 180% progress.
"180%, which means it provides less than two points of potential in total..."
Li Miao looked at the potential in the attribute column, and then focused on the other data and martial arts above.
Just when the potential reaches 100%, a green plus sign appears behind the four attribute data of strength, constitution, agility and intelligence. Obviously, any one of the attributes can be strengthened directly through potential points.
The following martial arts also have a plus sign behind them, but the difference is that, except for the cross secret sword being practiced, which has a green plus sign, the other several plus signs behind it are all gray, which means
It means that potential points cannot be used to increase.
Li Dao originally thought it was because he had already reached the full level of the other martial arts, but just after he paid a little attention to the gray plus sign behind Yangshengquan, a scene that surprised him appeared.
[Lack of key information, unable to continue to improve]
A line of small characters like this emerged from behind.
"So it turns out that you can still continue to practice health-preserving boxing? What I'm practicing now is actually an abridged and incomplete version?"
Li Miao looked at this line of small words that suddenly appeared, and immediately thought of this.
This discovery cheered him up, because it meant that the possibility that the old man surnamed Xia had real martial arts in his hands became higher.
This further strengthened Li Miao's idea of looking for the old man named Xia.
After discovering the health-preserving boxing, Li Gao looked at several other fighting techniques to see if there were any similar situations.
But after watching several fighting techniques, there was no special reaction. Obviously those fighting techniques were all complete versions.
However, Li Dao was originally in the mood to try, so he was not discouraged. After finding that there was no change, he turned his attention to potential.
He was hesitating where to add this potential.
Now, in addition to the four attributes that can be directly improved with potential, the only fighting skill left is the Cross Secret Killing Sword. After thinking about it for a moment, Li Dao directly ruled out the Cross Secret Killing Sword.
Firstly, he has no other martial arts in his hands. If he upgrades the Cross Secret Killing Sword, he will fall into the embarrassing situation of having no martial arts to practice. Secondly, the Cross Secret Killing Sword is not a martial art like health-preserving boxing, which is not very suitable for him.
important.
So Li Dao decided to add four attributes first.
"Just add it to strength and give it a try. The enhancement of the other three attributes is difficult to judge through numerical values, but the increase in strength is clear at a glance. Just pass a simple test..."
Li Miao thought this and made a decision in his heart.
As the thoughts in his mind changed, the potential point in his vision blurred, changing from 180% to 80%, and the strength attribute also changed from 1.4 to 1.7.
When the strength value changed, Li Dao felt a wave of heat appear in his body out of thin air and spread rapidly in all directions.
At the same time, the whole body feels like it has just undergone a high-intensity exercise, and all the muscles in the body feel numb and sore.
This feeling only lasted for a short moment and disappeared quickly, just like an illusion.
"It's just an improvement of 0.3, but there is such a big change..."
Li Miao came to the bathroom, stood in front of the mirror and took off his shirt, looking at himself in the mirror with surprise in his eyes.
It turns out that he has a body that is much stronger than ordinary people through unremitting boxing training every day. However, because it is not the conventional method of exercising muscles in the gym, the muscles in his whole body are not visible. It looks like a random fitness enthusiast from the gym.
They are all stronger than him.
But now after strengthening his strength, the muscles all over his body have obviously expanded. The muscle lines everywhere are extremely obvious, and the outline of his chest and abdominal muscles are also clearly highlighted.
And it is extremely strong, which is obviously different from the big muscles accumulated with protein powder in the gym.
Li Miao also noticed another detail change, that is, the pattern height of the tiles on the wall around him was different.
"He even increased in height..."
He compared it carefully and found that the height increased by about one centimeter.
I found a measuring tape from the tool box in the storage room and measured myself. Sure enough, it had grown from 178 centimeters to 180 centimeters.
Li Gao understood that such changes occurred because strengthening strength not only strengthened the muscles, but also strengthened and grew the bones, thus increasing the height.
"With my current strength, even if I don't use the explosive technique of Felai's jab, I can probably kill an adult with one punch."
Li Miao looked at his clenched fist and thought silently, feeling the amazing power in it.
Although the physical enhancement changes were gratifying, what made him even more excited was that the potential points were proven to be practical.
Li Dao immediately realized that potential points were more important to him than martial arts.
He needs more potential.
…
…
The next day, Li Gao took the small square sign and set off for his cousin's place.
His cousin's name is Wang Shitang. He is forty-three years old and has opened an antique store in the old town of Linhai City. However, he is usually not in the store, leaving only one clerk to look after the store.
When Li Gao came to the store, the clerk was sitting behind the counter playing with his mobile phone to kill time. The store was deserted without a single customer, and Wang Shitang was nowhere to be seen.
Li Gao was not surprised. He had called before he came and knew that Wang Shitang had been fishing with friends in the suburbs. He was on his way back now and would be back in the store in a short time.
He sat on the pear wood chair in the hall and waited. The clerk knew him and knew that he was the cousin of his boss. He was very polite and made him a cup of tea and brought it over and placed it on the coffee table next to him.
The old town is a tourist area that Linhai City focuses on supporting. It retains many antique buildings, including various shops in the ancient style. It attracts many foreign tourists every year.
Thanks to this, the businesses in this area are basically doing very well, and only Wang Shitang's antique shop is so deserted.
No matter which time Li Miao came over, the store was always so deserted.
In other words, Wang Shitang is engaged in an antique business that does not open for three years and lasts for three years after opening. Otherwise, if he switched to other businesses, he would have closed down long ago.
"The store is so deserted, how many customers can there be in a day?" Li Gao asked casually as he had nothing to do.
"You should ask how many customers you can get in a month." The clerk laughed, "Of course, if you include the customers who come in for a look, there are still a dozen or so in a day, but you know those customers, they will leave after just one look.
."
Li Gao also laughed.
Most of the customers who took a quick look were the type who mistook this place for selling souvenirs. When they came in, they realized they had made a mistake and of course they went out directly.
Although Wang Shitang's store is not big, every object in it can be said to be "real". This can be seen from the fact that the pear wood Taishi chairs used for customers to sit down and rest are all there.
How can ordinary customers afford such a store?
While Li Miao was waiting, a pair of young people who looked like a couple entered the store. After seeing the furnishings inside, they quickly turned around and walked out.
The clerk had long been accustomed to this scene, and didn't even say hello when the two entered the store.
After waiting for ten minutes, a black SUV came to the door of the store and stopped. The door opened and a fat middle-aged man got out of the car.
"It's cooler inside the store." The middle-aged man wiped the sweat on his head with a tissue, pushed the door open and cried out comfortably.
"Cousin." Li Miao shouted to him.
This middle-aged man is his cousin Wang Shitang.
"Xiao Zhang, help me buy a few bottles of drinks next door. I want them to be iced." Wang Shitang first gave instructions to the clerk, and then called to Li Gao, "Let's go to my office on the second floor."
Li Miao followed him up the stairs to the second floor.
The second floor is the same as the first floor, with an area of more than 200 square meters. It is filled with various ancient objects that look very dated. However, there is an additional office of Wang Shitang, so it appears to be slightly smaller than the first floor.
The two came to the office. Wang Shitang sat behind the desk and asked directly: "What do you want me to see?"
"Here, this is it."
Li Gao also pulled up a chair and sat down, took out the wrapped beads and small square cards from his pocket and handed them over.
Wang Shitang took it, unpacked it and took out two things. He glanced at it briefly, shook his head and threw the beads back.
"This thing is just a pure modern handicraft. It is everywhere on the stalls outside. It is worthless."
Li Gao was not surprised. After catching the beads, he threw them into the trash can nearby.
"As for this, also..."
Wang Shitang watched casually at first, but gradually became serious as he watched, with a somewhat uncertain look on his face.
"You wait."
He opened the drawer, took out a magnifying glass from inside, and looked at the small dark red square card carefully with the magnifying glass.
Li Dao knew that his cousin had noticed something, so he didn't rush him and looked at the various ancient items on the shelf next to him.
After a while, there were two knocks on the door. It was the clerk who had brought drinks.
The clerk obeyed the rules. After getting Wang Shitang's permission, he pushed the door in, put the drinks on the table, walked out, and closed the door.
"Get what you want to drink."
Wang Shitang didn't even raise his head. He was so thirsty that his attention was completely attracted by the small square sign, and he didn't even look at the drink that was delivered.
"I'm not thirsty." Li Dao stood up and walked to the shelf, "Cousin, are all the things on these real things?"
He wanted to see if the antiques on the shelf had the same potential that he could absorb like the small square cards.
"Of course not. There are real things, but they are small items that are not very valuable."
Wang Shitang replied casually: "The house is full of fakes and a few thieves are attracted from time to time. If they are all genuine, I will lose a lot of my wealth."
