Chapter 7: 7 Allocating Points for a Breakthrough

Chapter 7, 7. Breakthrough with Attribute Points

Luo Ning lay on his bed, reminiscing about the days when he played games back on Earth.

He remembered playing a card game where he would log in promptly every night at twelve o'clock, just to collect the refreshed monthly card benefits, daily rewards, and so on.

He never imagined that in this foreign world, he would once again be straining his tired eyelids, waiting for the arrival of midnight.

The room was quiet, the flickering light of a white candle illuminating the pitch-black surroundings.

"Midnight has arrived!"

Seeing the change on the sign-in panel, Luo Ning revealed a joyful expression.

[Attribute Points +1]

As soon as the time arrived, the automatic sign-in occurred, and Luo Ning's attribute points increased by one.

At the same time, the reward for the second day of the seven-day login became available for collection.

The reward was named "Classic Gift Pack," not one of those character cards, so Luo Ning chose to claim it without hesitation.

Suddenly, within Luo Ning's sight, a red gift box with gold edges appeared, then opened, bursting with a strong light.

[Attribute Points +30]

[Energy Essence +60]

Luo Ning looked at his attribute panel:

[Level]: Mortal (1/10) +;

[Attribute Points]: 31

[Energy Essence]: 60

"Can I upgrade now?"

Luo Ning stared at the level section, feeling both excited and apprehensive. What changes would occur after adding 9 attribute points?

"Add points!"

With a thought, 9 attribute points were invested all at once.

In an instant, Luo Ning felt a tremendous improvement in both his body and spirit.

Even at midnight, he remained full of vitality and couldn't sleep.

Thump, thump, thump...

He could clearly hear the beating of his heart, so healthy and powerful!

Now, he had completely shaken off the frail constitution of his former self and welcomed a new life.

At the same time, the attribute panel changed:

[Level]: 1 - Primary Knight (0/100) +; 1 - Primary Mage (0/150) +

[Attribute Points]: 22

"I actually became a dual supernatural profession holder at the same time!"

For humans, there are two types of supernatural powers: one is fighting qi, the other is magic power, corresponding to knights and mages.

After Luo Ning added points and broke through, he simultaneously mastered these two supernatural powers.

He closed his eyes and carefully felt the position of his heart, vaguely sensing a seed pulsating and sprouting.

"This is the legendary fighting qi seed."

As the knight's physical strength increases, the fighting qi seed will grow stronger and stronger. Eventually, the fighting qi within it will break out from the sprout, marking the sign of becoming an intermediate knight.

As for mages, it's much simpler.

Luo Ning could feel a magical space in his brain. Mages absorb external elements through meditation into this space, which can then be refined into magic power.

The speed of refinement depends on the mage's affinity with various types of elements.

Luo Ning has super affinity with wind and fire, so his refinement speed is naturally fast.

"Great, great!"

Upon arriving in this foreign world, Luo Ning immediately mastered miraculous supernatural powers, feeling incredibly excited.

"The rewards for the seven-day login are not bad either."

He chuckled, completely forgetting the feelings he had when cursing the game designers.

Looking at the remaining 22 attribute points, he began to ponder.

At this stage, physical strength is very important to him. Adding points to the knight first is better.

Therefore, he allocated all the remaining attribute points to the knight level.

With the physical body strengthened once more, Luo Ning felt his power was unprecedented. He casually punched, fearing it wasn't just twenty years of training.

He could also feel that the fighting qi seed in his heart had grown a bit stronger.

"Alright, good!"

Now he also understood the five interfaces of his cheat: monthly sign-in, seven-day login, first purchase generous gift, achievement tasks, attribute panel.

Monthly sign-in and achievement tasks are long-term and continuous;

The seven-day login and first purchase generous gift are designed to stimulate players in the short term, bringing retention and payment, just like the system design intended;

The attribute panel is the consumption aspect, the functional part.

"The rewards from monthly sign-in can be amplified by increasing the nobility level. Therefore, becoming a viscount will be my next stage goal, and becoming a viscount can also complete achievements and earn attribute point rewards."

Having mastered supernatural powers, Luo Ning naturally wanted to climb higher.

Legend says that a 9th-level Radiant Knight is unbeatable by thousands of people and can even reach a lifespan of 200 years, incredibly strong. Luo Ning naturally aspires to this.

Thinking of this, he began to regret again.

"If I had known that the sign-in rewards were linked to nobility level, when I was at the Wushan Fortress, I should have begged grandfather to grant me a viscount title."

These words were just spoken casually.

Generally, only adult heirs are granted nobility titles.

Take Bretton, who obtained the inheritance rights, as an example. After he became an adult and before Wigins died, he could only get a viscount title from his father.

Luo Ning, who lost the inheritance rights, could not possibly ask Wigins for a viscount title; becoming a baron was already the maximum.

"In this era, nobility titles are built upon military achievements."

It can be said that people with strong abilities may not have a nobility title, but those with nobility titles must have abilities (except those who inherit titles from previous generations).

What is lacking here is military achievements.

Following great nobles in battles across the land, earning distinguished service, when the accumulated achievements are recognized by the great nobles, there is a possibility of obtaining a nobility title.

To earn military achievements, personal strength is crucial, but team strength is also indispensable.

Luo Ning contemplated secretly. It seemed he must manage his territory well and cultivate a force belonging to himself.

With an army capable of fighting well, achieving military achievements is imminent.

"Let's wait until I arrive in Mountain Forest Town to make any concrete plans."

With excitement and plans for the future, Loren gradually drifted into sleep.

In his dream, he saw himself riding on a warhorse, swinging a fiery sword lightly, commanding thousands of soldiers charging and fighting with loud cries—a truly magnificent scene!

But he never imagined that the nine guards arranged for him by Wigans were already plotting against him.

The night passed quietly.

When Loren awoke, the sky was already slightly bright. He pushed open the door, and the noise startled Chakhar, who was sitting on a stool outside, causing him to stand up instantly.

"Good morning, Master, I will attend to your washing and grooming."

Chakhar enthusiastically prepared the washing supplies for Loren.

"Why are you here? Didn't I ask Hallwart to arrange accommodations for you?"

Chakhar bowed slightly and respectfully replied, "Master, you have too few servants around you. I feared you might need someone at night and couldn't find anyone, so I waited here."

Loren was somewhat impressed; this was truly a dedicated and good employee.

"You've worked hard!"

"This is my duty, Master!" Chakhar respectfully responded.

During the time spent washing and having breakfast, Loren also gained some understanding of Chakhar.

This manservant's father was a professional knight who had died in battle many years ago, but thanks to his father's status as a professional knight, Chakhar had the opportunity to study at a transcendent academy.

After his father's death, Chakhar, who had lost his support, entered the castle as a servant of Black Mountain Fort due to his ability to read and knowledge of noble etiquette.

Loren was quite satisfied with this manservant. When they reached Mountain Forest Town, Chakhar might become a good assistant to him.

"I highly recognize your abilities!"

Loren ate a piece of bread with milk.

The taste of fresh milk was barely acceptable, but he wasn't used to the bread; he rarely ate bread when he was on Earth.

"From now on, follow me and work hard. When Mountain Forest Town develops, I guarantee you will not be any less than Hallwart!"

He stood up, patted Chakhar's shoulder, giving him a hopeful promise.

Encouraged and recognized, Chakhar's eyes sparkled brightly. He suddenly felt that Baron Loren wasn't as useless as the rumors said; perhaps his proactive application to go to Mountain Forest Town was a good choice.

"It is my honor to serve you, Baron!"
