49. Strength Improvement - Continued

[Hint: It costs 3 skill points to upgrade "Xingyi Fist" to LV4, is it increased?] 】

Hoist!

With Abner's unhesitating order, the whole person suddenly fell into an inexplicable artistic conception again.

Every trace of his body is revealed in his mind.

Abner could feel that the joints of his body were constantly vibrating, the muscles began to stretch and contract, and the blood flowing in his veins made a gurgling sound like running water......

This transformation lasted less than a minute, and Abner retreated from this mysterious state, sighed regretfully, and then looked at the panel of Xingyi Fist.

[Xingyi Quan (LV4: Early Dark Strength) - An ancient boxing method from the Oriental Chinese Kingdom, which can achieve the effect of strengthening the body and killing the enemy after long-term study. 】

[Branch Skill 1: Strengthening LV4 (Passive Technique) - Long-term study of boxing techniques, so that your body has been extra tempered, and all attributes +6!] 】

[Branch Skill 2: Dark Energy Burst (Active Skill) - After a long period of tempering, your mastery of the body has reached a certain level, and you can play with more power than usual.

Spend 30 energy and your next attack will ignore 30% of your opponent's defense and deal twice as much damage! 】

As Abner expected, LV3 to LV4 is indeed a huge threshold.

Xingyi Fist has crossed this threshold, and the most obvious change is that it has added an additional 3 points to Abner's full stats.

In addition, there is an additional skill of "Dark Energy Burst", which ignores 30% of defense and doubles the damage, combined with the 2.5x critical hit of "Blessing Liberation", which makes Abner even more powerful.

Of course, the more pitiful thing is that the energy value consumed is as high as 30 points, and you must know that the energy value of ordinary martial artists is only two or three hundred points.

And even if the physical fitness of a fighter who has reached the dark energy is higher, the energy value is only three or four hundred points, and after deducting the consumption in the battle, the dark energy that can be played in a battle is very few......

However, when it comes to Abner, it is still barely acceptable, which is one more killer feature!

After raising the level of Xingyi Fist and looking at the remaining 4 skill points, Abner hesitated slightly, but still did not raise the level of Xingyi Fist from LV4 to LV5.

On the one hand, the strength improvement brought by the promotion of Xingyi Quan from LV4 to LV5 will not change qualitatively.

On the other hand, Abner still wants to use skill points to improve swordsmanship mastery after obtaining swordsmanship mastery skills, after all, when the Demon Sword Village is facing the big snake, it has a very big effect.

Bell ...... Bell ......

Accompanied by a series of phone calls, it was announced that Abner's strength improvement had reached the end.

"Who?"

"Your Excellency Abner, Miss Chizuru would like to invite you to lunch."

A calm, soft voice came out of the microphone.

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, it seems that this demon sword has a high status in Kagura Chizuru's heart.

"I'm honored!"

"Then, I'll arrange for a car to pick you up right away!"

Satisfied, he put down the phone in his hand, and Abner sniffed his slightly sour, dusty clothes.

I still went to the bathroom first, took a pleasant hot shower and changed my clothes.

Meow meow ~ meow meow!

With the pendant on her body, Sumra naturally couldn't get too far from Abner.

Just as the cat looked at Abner who was out of the door, a pale arm went straight through the wall, grabbed the cat by the tail directly, and disappeared into the room in its panicked eyes.

……

The place where Kagura Chizuru chose to eat was a bit remote, and from the outside it looked unsightly and slightly shabby.

But after really stepping in, I found that the layout inside is extremely ingenious and exquisite, there is no luxurious arrangement, and the overall look is slightly warm and quiet.

Today's Kagura Chizuru outfit is completely different from the previous two times, and a slim lady in a black dress looks full of aura.

Seeing his driver come in with Abner, Kagura Chizuru put down the document in his hand, got up and stretched out his right hand to greet him.

It was only at this time that Kagura Chizuru revealed her true temperament as the lord of the chaebol.

"Thousand ......"

Before Abner's words fell, Kagura Chizuru took the lead in handing over a delicate wooden box.

"A gift for you, Abner, see if you like it or not!"

Abner was smiling.

A gift for nothing! It doesn't matter if you like it or not, take it first.

I took the wooden box and opened it carefully, and I saw that there were 24 pieces of coffee-colored chocolate neatly placed inside.

As soon as the box was opened, a fragrance suddenly entered his nose, and Sumra, who was lying on Abner's body, poked his head out from behind him, stretched out his hands and touched the wooden box.

With a pop, the cat fell from Somla's hand and jumped under the table in the distance.

At this time, Abner smelled this fragrance, and suddenly felt a burst of excitement and hunger from the cells around him, as if he couldn't wait to pour out of his body and merge with this fragrance.

Looking at Semla lying on top of Abner, a hint of jealousy flashed in Kagura Chizuru's eyes, and then said with a smile.

"This is the latest Lindt limited edition of the year, made with the best cocoa and the best craftsmanship, each with a different taste."

First, he took out a piece of chocolate and put it in the palm of his hand and handed it to Semla's mouth.

With a lick of her tongue, Somra's face suddenly looked intoxicated, and she licked the chocolate in Abner's hand into gray-white foam in one go.

Looking at Sumla's appearance, Abner also couldn't wait to stuff a piece into his mouth.

The rich cocoa taste, coupled with the crispy texture of nuts, has a mellow aroma, smooth and delicate.

The cells around the body absorb this delicious taste, and it seems to let out a burst of excitement, as if they are cheering, and as if they are lyrics.

Abner suddenly felt a hot current in his abdomen quickly surging through his body, and his body suddenly became a little lighter.

Ding dong!

[Hint: "Incomplete Food Cells" ingest a delicacy, and your power is +1!] 】

Why?

Abner's eyes quickly swept over the message bar, and then his eyes became burning as he looked at the remaining chocolates in the box.

Another piece of chocolate slipped into his mouth.

The aroma of cocoa roasting is accompanied by fine sea salt grains, and the aromatic salt flower crystals occasionally burst out in the smooth palate, which surprises Abner with a wonderful surprise.

The taste is completely different from the previous nut chocolate, and there is still a sense of excitement in the body, but it is greatly reduced compared to before.

Carefully cover the box, it's really delicious!

"But...... Is this the real role of the gastronomy cell, to draw power from gastronomy and then give it back to me? ”

"What an interesting ability......
