Chapter 9: Uncle Cousin
After returning home, Li Mian prepared to find a slender little red rope and string the small square cards and hang them on his chest, so that he could absorb the potential breath in it all the time.
However, 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 began to slow down, and after a while, it stopped completely.
At this point, Li Mian knew in his heart that all the potential in the dark red square had been absorbed by him.
And the potential in his attribute information is also stuck at 180% progress.
"180%, which is less than two points of potential in total......
Li Mian looked at the potential in the attribute bar, and then his eyes fell on the other data and martial arts above.
Just when the potential reaches 100%, a green plus sign appears after the four attribute data of strength, constitution, agility and intelligence, which can obviously be directly strengthened through potential points.
The plus sign also appears after the following martial arts, but the difference is that except for the plus sign of the Cross Secret Killing Sword that is being practiced, which is green, the plus sign after the other items is gray, which means that it cannot be improved with potential points.
Li Mourning thought it was because the progress of the rest of the martial arts had been trained by him to the full level, but after he paid a little attention to the gray plus sign behind the health boxing, a scene that surprised him appeared.
[Lack of key information, unable to continue to improve]
Such a line of small print emerges from the back.
"It turns out that health boxing can continue to be practiced? I'm actually practicing a cut-down and mutilated version now? ”
Li Mian looked at the small words that suddenly popped up, and immediately thought of this.
This discovery made him excited, because it meant that the possibility of the old man surnamed Xia having real martial arts in his hands became higher.
This strengthened Li Mourning's idea of looking for the old man surnamed Xia.
With the discovery of health boxing, Li Mian looked at several other martial arts to see if there was a similar situation.
But after watching several martial arts, there was no special reaction, and obviously those fighting techniques were all complete versions.
However, Li Mian was originally in the mentality of trying, so he was not discouraged, and after finding that there was no change, he shifted his attention to the potential.
He was hesitant to add that potential.
Now in addition to the four attributes that can be directly improved with potential, there is only one fighting skill left, the cross secret killing sword, and after thinking about it for a while, Li Mian directly ruled out the cross secret killing sword first.
First, he has no other martial arts in his hands for the time being, and if he raises the Cross Secret Killing Sword, he will fall into an embarrassing situation where he has no martial arts to practice, and secondly, the Cross Secret Killing Sword is not a martial art like health boxing, which is not very important to him.
Therefore, Li Mian still decided to add the four attributes first.
"Let's try it on strength, the enhancement of the remaining three attributes is difficult to judge by numerical values, and the increase in strength is clear at a glance, as long as you pass a simple test......"
Li Mian thought so and made a decision in his heart.
As the thoughts in his mind changed, the potential point in his vision blurred for a while, from 180% to 80%, and the strength attribute changed from 1.4 to 1.7.
When the strength value changed, Li Mian only felt that a stream of heat appeared in his body out of thin air, spreading rapidly in all directions.
At the same time, the whole body is as if it has just undergone a high-intensity workout, and the muscles of the whole body have entered that feeling of numbness and soreness.
The sensation lasted only a brief moment and quickly vanished, as if it were a hallucination.
"It's just an increase of 0.3, and there is such a big change......"
Li Mian came to the bathroom, stood in front of the mirror and took off his shirt, looking at himself in the mirror, his eyes were full of surprise.
It turns out that he has a body that is far stronger than ordinary people through unremitting boxing practice every day, but because it is not a regular way to exercise muscles in the gym, the muscles of the whole body are not obvious, and any fitness enthusiast from the gym looks stronger than him.
And now, after strengthening his strength, the muscles of his whole body have obviously expanded in a circle, the muscle lines everywhere are extremely obvious, and the outline of his chest muscles and abdominal muscles are also clearly highlighted.
And it's unusually strong, which is clearly different from the big muscles that are piled up with protein powder in the gym.
Li Mourning also noticed another detail change, that is, the height of the pattern of the tiles on the wall around him is different.
"Even the height has increased by ......"
He carefully compared, and increased the height by about a centimeter.
I found a measuring tape measure from the toolbox in the storage room and measured it, and sure enough, it grew from 178 cm to 180 cm.
Li Mian understands that such a change occurs because strengthening strength is not only a simple strengthening of muscles, but also a strengthening of bones, thus raising height.
"Now my strength, even if I don't use the explosive technique in Ferley's jab, I'm afraid I can directly kill an adult with one punch."
Li Mian looked at the clenched fists, feeling the amazing power in them, and thought silently.
The physical enhancement changes are exciting, but what excites him even more is that the potential points have proven to be practical.
Li Mian immediately realized that at present, for him, the potential point is something more important than martial arts.
He needs more potential.
……
……
The next day, Li Mian took the small square card and set off to his cousin.
His cousin's name is Wang Shitang, 43 years old this year, and he opened an antique shop in the old town of Linhai City, but he himself is usually not in the store, and only one clerk is left to take care of the store.
When Li Mourning came to the store, the clerk was sitting behind the counter playing with his mobile phone to pass the time, the store was deserted, there were no customers, and Wang Shitang was nowhere to be seen.
Li Mian was not surprised, he had called before he came, and knew that Wang Shitang was fishing with friends in the suburbs before, and he was on his way back at this time, and he would be back to the store in a while.
He sat on a pear wood chair in the hall and waited, the clerk knew him and knew that he was his boss's cousin, so he politely made him a cup of tea and brought it to him, and put it on the coffee table next to him.
The old town is a key tourist area supported by Linhai City, and many antique buildings are retained, including the shops are also in that ancient style, which can attract many foreign tourists to visit every year.
Benefiting from this, the business of this area of merchants is basically very good, and only Wang Shitang's antique shop is so deserted.
No matter which time Li Mian came, the store was so deserted.
Wang Shitang is also doing antiques that have not been opened for three years, and have been open for three years, otherwise he would have closed down long ago if he changed to other businesses.
"The store is so deserted, how many customers can there be in a day?" Li Mian had nothing to do, so he asked casually.
"You should ask how many guests you can have in a month." The clerk laughed, "Of course, if you count the guests who come in to take a look, there are still more than a dozen of them a day, but those customers, you know, go out after a glance." ”
Li Mian also laughed.
Most of the guests who took a look at it were the type who mistook this place for souvenir sales, and when they came in, they knew they were mistaken, and of course they all went straight out.
Although the shop is not large, every object in it can be said to be "real", which can be seen from the pear wood Taishi chairs used for guests to sit down and rest.
With such a shop, where can the average customer afford to spend?
While Li Mourning was waiting, a young man who looked like a couple entered the store, and after seeing the furnishings inside, he quickly turned around and walked out.
The clerk had long been accustomed to this scene, and he didn't even say hello when the two walked into the store.
After waiting for ten minutes, a black SUV came to the door of the store and stopped, the door opened, and a slightly chubby middle-aged man stepped out of the car.
"It's still cool in the store." The middle-aged man wiped the sweat on his head with a tissue, pushed the door in, and called out comfortably.
"Uncle Cousin." Li Mian shouted at him.
This middle-aged man is none other than his cousin Wang Shitang.
"Xiao Zhang, help me go next door and buy a few bottles of drinks and come back, I want them to be chilled." Wang Shitang first gave an order to the clerk, and then greeted Li Mian, "Let's go, go to my office on the second floor." ”
Li Mian followed him up the stairs and came to the second floor.
The second floor, like the first floor, has more than 200 square meters, and is full of all kinds of ancient objects that look very old, but there is an office of Wang Shitang, so it is slightly smaller than the first floor.
When the two came to the office, Wang Shitang sat behind the desk and asked directly, "What do you want me to see?" ”
"Well, that's it."
Li Mian also pulled 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, just glanced at it briefly, shook his head, and threw the beads back.
"It's just pure modern craft, it's all over the stalls outside, it's worthless."
Li Mian was not surprised, and after catching the beads, he casually threw them into the trash can next to him.
"As for this, ...... too"
Wang Shitang looked at it casually at first, but just looking at it, he gradually became serious, and a somewhat uncertain look appeared on his face.
"You wait."
He opened the drawer, pulled out a magnifying glass from it, and used it to look closely at the small dark red square.
Li Mian knew that his cousin had seen something, so he didn't urge, and looked at the ancient pieces on the shelves next to him.
After a while, there were two knocks on the door, and it was the clerk who had bought a drink.
The clerk was very well-behaved, and after pushing the door in with Wang Shitang's consent, he put the drink on the table and walked out, leading the door.
"Take whatever you want."
Wang Shitang didn't raise his head, he was originally thirsty, he was completely attracted by the small square card, and didn't look at the drink that was sent.
"I'm not thirsty." Li Mian stood up and walked to the shelf, "Uncle Cousin, are you all the real things on it?" ”
He wanted to see if the antiques on the shelf had the same potential to absorb as the small squares.
"Of course not, there are real things, but they are all small objects that are not very valuable."
Wang Shitang replied casually: "It's full of fakes and a few thieves from time to time, if they are all real, how much of my net worth will be lost." ”
Li Mian was speechless, and suddenly lost a little confidence in these "antiques" in front of him.
