That evening, Chen Shouyi told his parents he would be going away for a while the next day.
Then he returned to his bedroom.
He really hadn't been able to resist temptation!
So lacking in restraint!
His attributes were badly imbalanced now, and his biggest weakness was Intelligence.
Strength: 17.0 Agility: 17.6 Constitution: 17.0 Intelligence: 16.3 Perception: 14.7 Will: 16.0 Energy Accumulation: 1.92
His highest attribute, Agility, was 1.3 points above Intelligence.
If he included the Divine Sword's boost, his Perception even reached 17.8, making the gap between them a full 1.5 points.
This severely constrained the use of his strength.
In fact, Chen Shouyi wasn't the only one with imbalanced attributes. Every martial artist had the same issue, and theirs were often worse. It was just that not everyone could see their attribute values at a glance, so they were blinded by what they could see and failed to notice.
"I wonder how much Divine Marrow they'll give us as a reward for this mission?" Chen Shouyi wasn't greedy. He'd be more than satisfied if he could raise his Intelligence to seventeen.
Then Strength, Agility, Constitution, and Intelligence would all reach seventeen.
That would look much more pleasing at a glance.
And with his last weakness finally shored up, his strength would undergo a complete transformation.
He could increasingly feel that the speed of thought and reaction represented by Intelligence was the most important of all his attributes.
No matter how strong your Agility and Strength were, if your thoughts and reactions were sluggish, you'd still be a sitting duck.
After all, the brain was the center for processing information. If it couldn't keep up, it didn't matter how powerful the rest of the hardware was—it couldn't be put to use.
"Big mouse, big rooster, big cricket!"
