"I'll give you twelve pills later, three for each attribute. You should first raise your own attribute to the maximum value in four attributes, and then use the rest to reward those who have made contributions."

"Yes!" Faced with this immense, God-given gift, Aferona felt only a slight surge of excitement.

As the only player who violated the rules in the entire game, she wouldn't be surprised no matter what Li Changzhou brought out.

She never imagined she would be so lucky.

At the beginning of the value game, she was occasionally dissatisfied with her own instincts.

Who would willingly live a life completely dependent on others unless absolutely necessary?

But now, following the "Master" who is unparalleled in the first stage and has no taboos in the second stage, the strength she possesses far exceeds that of 99% of the players in the value game—even more than that number.

In this age where everyone is insecure, isn't being a powerful and influential lover a thousand times more comfortable than working hard yourself?

The key point is that she, as a lover, will absolutely not be abandoned.

Firstly, because she does not rely on beauty or her body; secondly, because her strength will always match that of the Lord, and she will always be able to serve the Lord.

Aferona now has only one thought: to give him everything she can find, the 'master', so that he will always stand at the top of all players.

In this respect, she was even more eager than Li Qianxia for Li Changzhou to become the ultimate winner of the game.

There was no one more loyal than her.

For these reasons, Li Changzhou also trusted Aferona to a certain extent, and would help her if anything happened.

"After you break through the limit, organize enough and suitable people to go to the subway station. In the dungeon, pay more attention to visualization techniques or similar things," he instructed.

“Yes.” Aferona nodded.

Bored, Li Changzhou was about to ask Aferona to tell him about her recent activities when Yang Qinglan's fair face suddenly leaned closer.

“This,” she said softly.

The fragrance was so enticing that Li Changzhou's breathing became slightly disordered.

She held two identity cards in her hand, pointing to the two skills on them.

【Name: Shadow Cat】

[Type: Skill]

Quality: C

[Special Effect: The shadow transforms into a black cat, which can be used to gather intelligence]

Minimum requirements for use: Intelligence 3, Charisma 3

[Description: The number of Shadow Cats equals Charm Points. Shadow Cats can only move in the shadows and can exist indefinitely unless exposed to sunlight or stepped on.]

[Note: It is said that people with this skill were once considered dead because they had no shadow.]

A rare, but decent, reconnaissance skill.

The second is instinct, which is very powerful and is called Body Flicker.

【Name: Instantaneous Movement】

[Type: Skill]

[Quality: B+]

[Special Effect: Teleportation]

Minimum requirements for use: Intelligence 6, Charisma 6

[Description: Able to teleport anywhere within a circle with a radius of ten meters; consumes 1 point of ability for every 0.1 meters.]

[Note: People with low Charisma might be disliked by the system during a teleportation, and thus only complete part of the teleportation.]

"Which one do you want?" Li Changzhou asked with a smile.

“Hasn’t Qianxia always wanted to change her skills? Give them all to her,” Yang Qinglan replied.

Li Changzhou thought for a moment: "Teleport to her, and give you the Cat Shadow?"

“Okay, anyway, I’m prettier than her, so it’s a reasonable arrangement.” Yang Qinglan nodded.

Li Changzhou couldn't help but chuckle twice. He turned to Aferona and said, "You should also pick a few skills you like from these identity cards."

Aferona realized she was wrong.

Receiving twelve pills at once, she thought she wouldn't be excited by any reward from Li Changzhou, but now—

“You are my eternal shepherd!” she said with deep conviction.

Who else but the Lord can bestow skills upon others and be unparalleled in this regard?

Li Changzhou must be the incarnation of the Lord, just like Jesus more than two thousand years ago.

Aferona also chose two skills.

Li Changzhou wasn't afraid that Aferona herself would become too strong, and that she could become a powerful figure without relying on her mafia mistress.

Her identity is tied to him; if he so much as changes his mind, all her skills will disappear.

"How does it feel this time?" Li Changzhou asked Aferona after bestowing the skill upon her.

His white card has been upgraded to level 4, but he still can't control the black mist.

“It seems—” Aferona recalled carefully, “that I feel a little more relaxed.”

"Take your time," Yang Qinglan said, noticing Li Changzhou's slight disappointment. "There's no rush."

"Take your time with everything, hmph."

Yang Qinglan knew what he meant, and smiled with her head down, pursing her lips.

After daybreak, they didn't go back, but instead spent two days sightseeing in Italy.

Before leaving, Liu Qian and Li Qianxia had become close friends who could talk about anything.

"Aferona, Xiaoqian doesn't understand Italian. Could you find her a translator?" Li Qianxia asked Aferona.

“It’s best to learn on your own,” Li Changzhou said. “It’s better to rely on yourself than on others. Liu Qian, if you don’t want to live here, you can leave at any time. But no matter where you go, I hope that in the future you can achieve the principle of ‘I will not offend others unless they offend me,’ based on the principle of ‘an eye for an eye.’”

"Yes." Liu Qian nodded quickly.

After hesitating for a moment, she whispered again, "...Thank you."

Li Changzhou nodded, intending to say, "The past is the past, live a good life in the future," but after thinking about it, he didn't say it.

The vortex grew larger, the photos were transmitted and unfolded, and Li Qianxia and Liu Qian waved to each other.

"goodbye."

"goodbye!"
