I'll Bless You Again

I'll Bless You Again

"Stop, stop for a second, Xiaopi..." Han Jiangxue rested her elbows on the table and held her forehead in both hands, speaking softly.

Wow, she sounded so gentle when she spoke like that—soft, sweet, and pleasant to hear. Why was she always so icy normally? Jiang Xiao wisely stopped, only to suddenly realize that the Star Skill he had obtained did not seem very proper. Wasn't it supposed to restore a teammate's Life Force? Heal a teammate's wounds? Why was it so effective at flirting with girls? The atmosphere in the kitchen was incredibly awkward, and the room fell silent.

Jiang Xiao knew the girl was thin-skinned, so he jokingly broke the silence. "Looks like you received my Blessing."

Han Jiangxue abruptly raised her head and shot Jiang Xiao a vicious glare.

If it had been ten minutes earlier, Jiang Xiao could guarantee that glare would have been cold and contemptuous, laced with disdain and enough to sting his nerves.

But in Han Jiangxue's current state, her glare was adorably fierce, like a Miss with absolutely no fighting ability who still insisted on maintaining her dignity before her younger brother.

The Bronze Quality Blessing was actually this powerful? Then what about Blessing after its Quality improved? Wouldn't that be insane?

Jiang Xiao thought carefully. According to Jiang Xiaopi's memories, Star Skills and Star Pets were classified according to such Quality grades.

Above Bronze Quality were Silver Quality, Gold Quality, Platinum Quality, and the currently known highest grade, Diamond Quality.

In Jiang Xiaopi's memories, there were roughly five Quality tiers. Bronze was the lowest, and Diamond was the highest. According to online information, there were supposedly even higher grades above Diamond, though ordinary people knew nothing about them. Perhaps only those godlike figures possessed Star Skills and Star Pets of higher Quality.

Ordinary people knew nothing about them?

But Jiang Xiao, who had transmigrated here, knew! Wasn't it obvious? Above Diamond was Master! Above Master was King!

"What luck. It's actually a medical skill." Having received a full dose of Blessing, Han Jiangxue's cold voice had softened considerably. "North River Land produces the White Ghost Tribe in abundance, yet among the Awakened who obtain Star Skills, those who truly absorb the Blessing skill are exceedingly rare."

"Mm." Jiang Xiao knew he had been a little mischievous just now. The girl was the head of the household and had to put on an air of authority, so Jiang Xiao nodded especially obediently.

"No, you don't understand how precious medical skills are." Han Jiangxue sighed softly, looking at Jiang Xiao as though he were some foolish son of a rich landlord.

"Out of a hundred Awakened, perhaps only one possesses a medical skill. This special category of Star Skill is extremely difficult to obtain. The world is full of Magic System Awakened with violent offensive abilities and close-combat Awakened, but Medical Awakened are truly few and far between." Han Jiangxue seemed to relax as she opened up.

"Do you know how sought-after a support-type Awakened is, especially one with Medical Star Techniques?"

Han Jiangxue continued, "After graduation, we'll join all kinds of state institutions. Most of them have field personnel, and four-person teams are the standard configuration for field operatives. Every Awakened hopes to have a Medical Awakened in their four-person team."

"A Medical Awakened represents a team's endurance, stable combat strength, and can even save the team's lives at critical moments. Even if that Medical Awakened has only one medical skill in their Star Map, that is enough."

Han Jiangxue looked at Jiang Xiao with admiration.

Since Jiang Xiao had opened his Eyes, this was the first time he had seen this icy Miss give him such an approving look.

"What a pity it's only Bronze Quality Blessing." Han Jiangxue abruptly changed the subject. Though she called it a pity, her expression barely changed. "I don't need to worry about your future anymore. Go to school properly. After graduation, I'll help you find a hospital. You can become a doctor. That's still a way forward."

Jiang Xiao: ??? So you've decided my fate just like that?

This body had only just graduated from middle school! How did that saying go again?

I'm still one of the nation's flowers! As long as I work hard, I have limitless possibilities!

Jiang Xiaopi, Jiang Xiaopi... just how disappointed had you made your sister?

I wanted to walk the path to godhood, but Han Jiangxue directly paved my road straight into a hospital?

Eh? Wait.

Come to think of it, being a doctor was actually pretty good. Things that normal medical methods could not resolve, Jiang Xiao could handle with Star Power and Star Skills.

In the future, once Jiang Xiao raised the Quality of Blessing, he might even be able to save patients on the brink of death. That would be an immeasurable good deed.

Wasn't that something truly meaningful as well? With that thought, Jiang Xiao could not help sinking into contemplation. He had been here for less than two hours, yet he had undergone earth-shattering changes and taken in a great deal of new information. He truly needed time to calm down and consider his future.

After all, Jiang Xiao was no longer a confused sixteen-year-old boy. He was a twenty-five-year-old adult with a mature mind.

After accepting and integrating into this bizarre world, planning his life, finding his true aspirations, and becoming who he truly wanted to be became Jiang Xiao's first priority.

A profession like doctor was indeed noble and beneficial to society. But if that was all, wouldn't it be a little too conventional? Since he had accidentally entered this bizarre world, he ought to embark on a bizarre journey. Otherwise, wouldn't his transmigration have been wasted?

Uh... otherwise, it would have been a waste of that slap Miss had used to send him here.

Star Power, Star Skills, Star Pets, and the dimensional worlds described online—countless things awaited Jiang Xiao's exploration.

And this body even came with an Inner Star Map. If Jiang Xiao really chose an ordinary profession, that would truly be a waste of a gift from heaven.

Han Jiangxue looked at the silent Jiang Xiao, slightly surprised. Normally, her younger brother would have already risen up in rebellion, loudly shouting that he would not become a doctor, would not work, and wanted to go out and have fun, wanted to roam the world. Yet Jiang Xiao was unusually quiet now.

Perhaps he had just acquired a Star Skill and had yet to process the result.

Han Jiangxue stood and walked over to Jiang Xiao. She raised a hand toward his head, but paused halfway.

That slender, fair hand lingered in the air before ultimately withdrawing. "Don't show off everywhere, and don't make those messy videos. Practice your Star Skills properly and absorb Star Power."

As she spoke, Han Jiangxue headed toward the kitchen door.

Swish. A somewhat thin boy, 172 centimeters tall, suddenly appeared in the kitchen doorway and blocked Han Jiangxue's path.

Han Jiangxue froze. Her beautiful Eyes met Jiang Xiao's dark gaze, but then the young man before her opened his mouth.

Although the young man before her had opened his mouth, the voice came from the dining chair behind her.

"I may have only just Awakened, but I know that Awakened are divided into categories. An Awakened who acquires a low-Quality medical Star Skill has a higher chance of successfully absorbing other high-Quality medical Star Skills." Jiang Xiao continued, "As for those Awakened with violent offensive abilities, no matter how gifted they are, how high their aptitude is, or how many Star Slots they possess, they will likely remain fated never to obtain Medical Star Techniques in their lives. Their constitutions are not suited to absorbing such skills."

Han Jiangxue's Eyes widened slightly. Looking down at the Jiang Xiao before her, she slowly turned around and looked at the Jiang Xiao seated in the dining chair behind her.

An illusion!? The White Ghoul Witch's second Star Skill: Decoy!?

Han Jiangxue stared blankly down at Jiang Xiao. One Star Double Technique!? Such cases had appeared in human history, but Awakened this fortunate were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns! "You're afraid I'll be too sought-after." Jiang Xiao turned around and looked at the silent Han Jiangxue. "You know my aptitude isn't high, and I have pitifully few Star Slots, yet I happen to be a Medical Awakened."

"You know that with Medical Awakened in such short supply, even if my strength is lacking, I might still be recruited by certain institutions and sent on relatively dangerous missions."

Han Jiangxue bent down slightly, her expression extremely serious. "While only one star in your Star Map is lit, do not use your second skill in front of outsiders."

"No problem." Jiang Xiao nodded decisively.

"No problem?" Han Jiangxue raised her brows in surprise. She had thought that, given her younger brother's personality, he would be even more arrogant and unruly. Yet he was as obedient and well-behaved as ever.

"I have one condition too," Jiang Xiao suddenly said.

"A condition?" Han Jiangxue nodded. No wonder this brat was being so obedient—he wanted something from her. "Say it."

"I'll train hard." Jiang Xiao looked up at Han Jiangxue and continued, "The next time you go to the Snowfield, take me with you."

Seeing Jiang Xiao's extremely serious expression, Han Jiangxue responded without expression, "Why should I agree to that?"

Jiang Xiao shrugged. "In return, I can give you a few Blessings."

Han Jiangxue hurriedly stopped him. "No, there's no need."
