Chapter 13 : Attribute Enhancement
Chapter 13: Attribute Enhancement
After reading through the exchanges, Eluan had more or less understood part of the situation.
She glanced at the Black Tide countdown beside her.
“Just over 50 hours left.”
With the earlier effortless victory over the Pangolin, her confidence in the wolves had grown even stronger.
“Let’s go, continue.”
It was all about snowballing.
Even two Bitter Winter Sinners working together might not gain an advantage against a Pangolin, yet the Black Wolves had handled it with ease.
Not to mention the even stronger Dire Wolf.
After a full morning of fighting, she earned quite a bit of Energy and raised the number of Black Wolves to 15 in one go.
Considering that many tasks could only be done by humans, she also tried recruiting two Bitter Winter Sinners.
Unexpectedly, this time both were women.
One was in her early twenties, the other in her thirties. Su Wen immediately assigned them to handle construction work within the territory.
The Black Wolves were divided into several groups, each hunting in nearby areas.
Whenever they encountered monsters, Eluan only needed to point a finger, and these handsome wolf soldiers would charge forward loyally—it was incredibly satisfying.
By evening, she finally obtained a second capsule.
【Opened Successfully!】
【Obtained: Silver Coins ×2】
【Obtained: Energy Infusion Chip (Green) ×1】
“Green?”
Everything so far had been white-grade items, so seeing this immediately made Eluan scan it without hesitation.
【Energy Infusion Chip】
【Grade: Green】
【Description: A special terminal protocol process that allows Energy infusion.】
【Install this chip onto the Watch?】
“So it installs onto the Watch?”
Yes!
The moment she confirmed, a beam of light shot out, instantly absorbing the small chip into the device.
【Energy Infusion unlocked.】
【You can enhance your base attributes through Energy infusion.】
【Analyzing your attributes…】
【Physical Strength: 0.51】
【Mental Strength: 1.22】
【Perception: 1.08】
【Resistance: 1.01】
Ding!
【Proceed with infusion?】
Eluan didn’t rush. Instead, she handed the Watch to the main body.
【Analyzing your attributes…】
【Physical Strength: 0.92】
【Mental Strength: 1.02】
【Perception: 1.08】
【Resistance: 0.99】
“The difference between the two bodies is this big?”
Seeing that the average adult male value was 1, Su Wen fell into brief silence.
“Forget it, let’s infuse the main body first.”
Input: 10 points.
【Infuse Physical Strength?】
“Yes!”
【Infusion Successful.】
【Physical Strength: 0.92 → 1.92】
【Note: Due to your multi-body state, 0.1 units of Physical Strength can be shared across all bodies.】
“What does that mean?”
Su Wen froze for a moment and quickly checked his panel.
【Physical Strength: 1.82 (+0.1)】
Meanwhile, Eluan’s became:
【Physical Strength: 0.51 (+0.1)】
“No way.”
After the increase, the main body showed 1.92, but 0.1 was treated as a shared value, placed in parentheses.
Sharing meant that Eluan also gained the corresponding bonus.
Su Wen took a deep breath and quickly infused a few points into Eluan as well.
【Infusion Successful.】
【Physical Strength: 0.51 → 1.09】
【Note: Due to your multi-body state, 0.058 units of Physical Strength can be shared across all bodies.】
As expected, Su Wen’s Physical Strength became 【1.82 (+0.158)】, while Eluan’s became 【1.032 (+0.158)】.
He noticed that the gains from infusion seemed to differ depending on the body’s innate talent. Moreover, with each point increase, the actual improvement per unit was significantly greater than the previous one.
For example, increasing from 2 to 3 provided a greater boost than from 1 to 2.
This meant attribute growth was not linear.
“Not bad.”
If a portion of each body’s enhanced attributes could stack, then as the number of his clones increased, the total bonus in the future would become terrifying.
“Good. This will gradually widen the gap between me and others.”
He realized his Potential exhibited extremely exaggerated growth.
It could be said that the further things progressed, the more suppression he could exert over other players.
Of course, considering there were so many people in the world, it wasn’t impossible that other transmigrators had drawn equally absurd Potentials. Su Wen felt he still needed to stay cautious.
“Continue exploring.”
The operation resumed.
Amid the continuous rain, one of the Black Wolf squads finally encountered a relatively large pack of Gray Wolves.
A total of eight.
“So you’re not solitary after all.”
Seeing so many wolves together for once, Su Wen didn’t hesitate and immediately ordered the Black Wolves to charge.
2 vs 8—disadvantage on our side.
But it didn’t matter. At just that moment, another squad of three Black Wolves approached.
Thus, the battle became 6 vs 8.
On one side were wild Gray Wolves.
On the other were five Black Wolves and one much stronger Dire Wolf.
All the wolves charged together, and the battle quickly turned into a one-sided slaughter.
In just a short while, only eight corpses remained ahead.
“Hmph, nothing special.”
The resources gained from this brief fight were already enough to recruit another Black Wolf.
He felt the efficiency increasing more and more.
“At this rate, when the Black Tide arrives, I should have enough strength to handle it, right?”
What unsettled him most now was—what exactly was the Black Tide?
A traditional beast tide?
Or some unknown natural disaster?
Though curious, there were no related records in the Watch.
So perhaps he would only find out on that day.
As his military scale expanded, Su Wen attempted to lead his squad farther away from the starting point.
Unknowingly, they had reached two kilometers out.
At that moment, the Black Wolf sent ahead to scout suddenly encountered unknown enemy activity.
Following its orders, it immediately lay low in concealed grass.
Even from several hundred meters away, Su Wen could see three yellow dots on the minimap.
Yellow represented unknown allegiance—uncertain safety.
“Let’s take a look.”
Su Wen and Eluan cautiously approached.
Trying not to draw attention, they moved behind the Black Wolf and looked into the distance, immediately spotting the moving figures.
“Humans?”
No.
They didn’t quite look like humans.
Each held a sharp iron blade, but their bodies were shorter than normal humans.
Their slightly hunched posture made them look like they had curved backs. Their skin was darker and duller than that of humans, and they wore crude, tattered leather armor—clearly some kind of unknown species.
“At this distance, can it scan them?”
Su Wen quietly aimed the Watch, and to his surprise, information actually appeared.
【Demi-human (Forest Subhuman)】
“Demi-human?”
Those figures were slowly moving in a certain direction.
They felt like intelligent beings, though it was unclear whether they could communicate normally.
