Talent Enhancement, a Sudden Urge to Pee

Jiang Zhenshan looked at the excellent situation before him, his heart blooming with joy.

He felt that this move of his today was simply inspired genius.

"Um... Xiao Yue."

Jiang Zhenshan cleared his throat and gave his daughter, who was still frozen in place, a meaningful look. "Classmate Yang Yu's recovery is in your hands. You must take good care of him, understand? If you need anything, call Dad anytime!"

After saying that, he flashed Yang Yu a knowing smile, then turned and left in satisfaction.

If they could latch onto these two celestial beings...

The Jiang Family was truly going to rise this time!

With Jiang Zhenshan gone, only Yang Yu and Jiang Shuyue remained in the entire Special Care Ward.

The atmosphere instantly became somewhat delicate.

Yang Yu lay in bed, feeling uncomfortable all over, not even knowing where to look.

Jiang Shuyue lowered her head, nervously clutching the hem of her clothes with both hands. A captivating blush had already spread across her fair cheeks.

Have her take care of Yang Yu?

She had clearly wanted to teach this man a lesson before!

And she had absolutely no experience taking care of people!

Th-this... how could she possibly do that?

"Ahem."

Yang Yu cleared his throat, breaking the awkward silence.

"Jiang, you..."

Before he could finish, Jiang Shuyue looked as though she had made up her mind. She raised her head and looked at him seriously.

"Classmate Yang Yu, before... I was wrong."

"I shouldn't have been so full of myself, much less so willful. I caused you trouble."

"I'm sorry."

She gave him a deep bow.

Yang Yu froze.

He had not expected the school beauty, who had always regarded him as her lifelong enemy, to apologize to him so solemnly.

Moreover, the unwillingness and jealousy were gone from her eyes, leaving only pure remorse and... a trace of admiration?

"It's fine. It's all in the past." Yang Yu waved his hand.

Honestly, he had never considered Jiang Shuyue a true enemy.

At most, she was a spoiled classmate with a bit of a young lady's temper, but not a bad nature.

"No, it matters!"

Jiang Shuyue straightened up.

"Wrong is wrong."

She looked at Yang Yu, her gaze complicated.

From the Novice Dungeon record being broken to her father producing that intelligence about him soloing the World BOSS.

Her pride had been crushed to pieces by this young man time and again.

Until today, when she had personally watched her father bow and scrape before his terrifyingly imposing older sister.

Only then did Jiang Shuyue finally understand completely that she and he had long since become people from two different worlds.

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath.

"Classmate Yang Yu, focus on recovering."

"I'll... I'll take good care of you."

Though her voice still trembled slightly, her tone was incomparably firm.

Yang Yu: "..."

Well, it looked like he could not get rid of her.

He sighed and simply stopped dwelling on it.

After all, he really was injured right now. Having one more... uh, one more caregiver did not seem like such a bad thing.

Since that was the case, he could not waste time.

He held the Talent Enhancement Scroll in his hand.

Jiang Shuyue looked curiously at the scroll in Yang Yu's hand.

Was this... the apology gift the Jiang Family had sent over earlier?

Was he going to use it now?

Yang Yu ignored her gaze. All his attention was focused on the scroll.

His heart began pounding uncontrollably.

Two Hundredfold Effort had already turned him from an unremarkable D-rank Warrior into someone capable of soloing a World BOSS.

So how powerful would his talent become after being upgraded?

Five hundredfold?

Or one thousandfold?

Filled with incomparable excitement, he silently spoke to the system.

"Use the Talent Enhancement Scroll!"

Detected that you possess the Normal Grade talent Two Hundredfold Effort. You meet the conditions for using the scroll. Confirm enhancement?

"Confirm!"

Yang Yu shouted in his heart without hesitation.

The next second, the scroll in his hand transformed into a brilliant golden light and instantly surged into his glabella.

An indescribable warmth spread through all four limbs and every bone in his body.

It felt as though his entire soul was undergoing a wondrous transformation and ascension.

Talent Enhancement successful!

Your Normal Grade talent Two Hundredfold Effort has successfully advanced into the Rare Grade talent Thousandfold Effort!

Talent: Thousandfold Effort

Quality: Rare

Effect: Each time you use a skill or obtain skill Proficiency through other means, the skill Proficiency gained is increased one thousandfold.

One thousandfold!

It really was one thousandfold!

Yang Yu's breathing abruptly stopped the moment he saw the system notification!

His eyes widened as large as bells!

His heart slammed wildly against his chest, as though it were about to leap from his throat!

This felt incredible!

It felt even better than gaining ten levels in a row!

Two Hundredfold Effort had already given him a terrifying skill-leveling speed.

Now, that speed had directly increased another fivefold!

What did that mean?

It meant that his future efficiency in grinding skill Proficiency would reach a level unprecedented and unsurpassable!

Right now, he wanted nothing more than to leap out of bed, charge into an Instance Dungeon, and start grinding immediately.

He forcefully suppressed the wild joy in his heart, but a huge smile still spread across his face.

From the side, Jiang Shuyue took in every change in Yang Yu's expression.

After seeing Yang Yu use the scroll, she first froze for a moment. Then an uncontrollable look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

It worked!

Jiang Shuyue's heart leaped with joy as well.

She could not help asking, "Classmate Yang Yu, did it work?"

Yang Yu snapped out of his overwhelming surprise. Seeing the concern in Jiang Shuyue's eyes, he smiled and nodded.

"Yes, it worked."

"That's wonderful! Congratulations!"

Jiang Shuyue was genuinely happy for him.

At the same time, the shock in her heart reached an indescribable level.

Classmate Yang Yu's luck was too incredible!

She clearly remembered that the scroll had stated there was only a one percent chance of raising an Epic Grade talent to Legendary Grade!

One percent!

And he had succeeded?

In Jiang Shuyue's eyes, Yang Yu was so powerful that his talent had to be Epic Grade. There was no doubt about it.

How could a Normal Grade talent possibly allow a D-rank professional to solo a World BOSS? That was pure fantasy!

So Yang Yu now... was a man with a Legendary Grade talent?

Heavens!

With an Epic Grade talent, he was already an absolute monster.

Then how powerful would he become with a Legendary Grade talent?

Jiang Shuyue simply did not dare imagine it.

Even the way she looked at Yang Yu changed.

Yang Yu had no idea what Jiang Shuyue was thinking.

Immersed in the joy of his talent upgrade, he was about to take out the several Legendary Grade pieces of equipment dropped by the Abyss Demon Dragon and study them properly.

But at that moment, a sudden urge to pee interrupted his thoughts.

This...

Yang Yu's expression instantly became awkward.

He was covered in injuries right now. Even moving hurt so badly it pierced his heart. Forget getting out of bed—he even had trouble sitting up.

What was he supposed to do?

He glanced at Jiang Shuyue beside him, who was still shocked and delighted over his talent advancement, and his entire face immediately flushed bright red.

He could not possibly... ask her to help, could he?

That would be far too humiliating!

No! Absolutely not!

Yang Yu gritted his teeth and struggled, trying to sit up from the bed with his own strength.
