New Legacy Attribute

Appearance? Physique?

Chen Guan didn't care; he only wanted "Bear-Type Strength!"

"Why is the young master not making a sound?"

At this moment, many people noticed Chen Guan's silence.

Seeing this, the midwife panicked slightly, so she laid Chen Guan flat and increased the force of her pats.

"Perhaps he choked on some fluid..."

Having handled many infants, the midwife knew that if a baby didn't cry or fuss, it was likely due to choking.

In her mind, a few more pats would do the trick.

Big sister, if you keep patting, I'll actually die...

Chen Guan was quietly observing his entries and didn't have the time to argue with them, so he decided to cry first to put their minds at ease.

"Waa..."

As Chen Guan began to cry.

The surrounding servants and maids, along with the anxious master who had just entered the room, were all overjoyed.

"Come, let me have a look!"

"Master! The young master's cry is so robust!"

"All is well... all is well..."

Chen Guan's crying and the master's laughter brought joy back into the room.

"Master..." The third mistress on the bed reached out with a slightly pale arm, wanting to see Chen Guan.

Chen Guan was passed from the midwife to the master, and then finally into his mother's arms.

Afterward, Chen Guan didn't think much of it, perhaps due to an instinctive closeness to his mother.

Coupled with the fact that an infant's brain is not yet fully developed, and the energy-draining effort of his loud crying.

Before Chen Guan could make a choice, he drifted off into a sweet sleep.

"Is this... an afternoon later, or a full day?"

Dazed, Chen Guan woke up.

But as an infant, his vision was poor, and he couldn't see things clearly.

He could only tell it was dark based on the intensity of the light in the room.

He couldn't delay; he had to act before he fell asleep again.

Chen Guan quickly looked at the choices within his field of vision.

Out of curiosity, and to ensure no other options were more useful, he examined the others first to compare these "inherited talents."

First, he looked at 1.

[Bear's Sense of Smell: Common, applicable to creatures with a sense of smell]

[Effect: Can perceive conventional scents within a 200-meter radius]

[Note: Non-talent type, cannot be grown or improved]

This must be a fixed-level entry.

Chen Guan looked it over and realized that Bear-Type Strength must belong to the "growth talent" category.

The kind that could be leveled up.

Next, he looked at the fat.

[Fat Energy Storage: Common, applicable to some creatures with fat cells]

[Effect: Can expand the number and capacity of fat cells by 100%]

This was also a fixed-level entry.

Finally, Chen Guan looked at Bear-Type Strength.

[Bear-Type Strength: Common, talent, growth-oriented, applicable to all creatures]

[Effect 1: At current proficiency, increases physical constitution strength by 1500 jin]

[Effect 2: As talent proficiency increases or levels up, the effect increases synchronously]

[Note 1: When the reincarnated body reaches adulthood, it can obtain the full bonus in a short time, but requires a large amount of food or spiritual energy absorption]

[Note 2: When the reincarnated body is in infancy, the full bonus will be gradually obtained as age increases]

Perhaps because it was a "common entry."

In his newborn state, he couldn't possess Bear-Type Strength immediately.

Of course, that would be if one were born with it.

Given his current lethargic infant constitution, it would likely be difficult to exert anyway.

But the primary reason was likely the "Common" grade of the trait.

I'm an infant right now and can't go anywhere. I might as well try to grind some proficiency while I'm still young and see if I can level it up...

Chen Guan pondered this, but having only been awake for a few minutes, the exhaustion washed over him again.

Before drifting off to sleep once more, Chen Guan looked at the talents of this life.

[Inherited Legacy of this life: Primary Blade Mastery Talent]
[Primary Blade Mastery: 0/1000]
[Effect 1: You possess a natural familiarity with common bladed weapons.]
[Effect 2: Your learning speed for common blade technique manuals is slightly increased.]
[Inherited Legacies (2): Low-Grade Fire Spirit Root, Primary Bear-Type Strength]

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

Something unfortunate happened. The Third Mistress had passed away.

Chen Guan didn't know how to feel about it. Was he heartbroken? He and his mother truly hadn't shared a deep bond. Yet, there was a sense of melancholy and sadness. Chen Guan even wished he were truly just an infant, for then he wouldn't remember so many things. At most, he would only hear from others in the future that he once had a mother.

What did she look like...

On the day of the wake, inside his mother's room, Chen Guan's vision was still poor. He couldn't see the wet nurse caring for him clearly, nor had he ever seen the mother who had watched over him as he slept through the nights. However, the faint sounds of weeping outside the room signaled that this mother he had "never truly met" was gone. Chen Guan felt heavy-hearted and remained silent for a long time, neither crying nor fussing.

"Young Master? Young Master?" The wet nurse touched Chen Guan anxiously, checking his steady breathing before letting out a sigh of relief. "Oh my, you scared me to death. You and your mother... Sigh..."

To the people in the Zhao Family estate, the Fifth Young Master was a quiet and reserved child. From the time he was an infant until he reached six months old, he rarely cried or made a fuss. The wet nurse often said he was the best child she had ever cared for. It was just that during the first month, Chen Guan had rarely cried or shouted, which had scared her half to death. She would wake up periodically throughout the night just to check if he was still breathing.

When Chen Guan turned six months old, the end of the year arrived. Carried by his wet nurse, Chen Guan was brought to the main hall of the Zhao Family to attend this ancient version of "New Year's Eve." Now that his vision was relatively clear, Chen Guan saw his father, whom he had never truly seen before—a middle-aged man with a slightly stout build. Ever since his mother passed away, Chen Guan hadn't been able to see clearly, but from the voices around him, he knew his father had visited him once. After that, there had been nothing. Meanwhile, upon seeing the wet nurse carry Chen Guan into the hall, the head of the Zhao Family merely nodded slightly before returning to his conversation with the people beside him.

The seats were arranged flanking the Zhao Family head.

These were occupied by the eldest young master of the Zhao Family, who had just come of age, as well as the Zhao Family head's brothers, nephews, and the like.

Chen Guan sat at a table with his wet nurse, the first madam, and other female relatives.

Opposite this table sat two young masters, only two or three years old.

However, they were seated with their own mothers.

Chen Guan was held in his wet nurse's arms.

"Why is this child so hairy?"

"Why are his ears shaped like that?"

At this moment.

Several madams were curiously scrutinizing Chen Guan.

They felt that Chen Guan's body hair was far thicker than that of other six-month-old infants.

In particular, he was a bit chubby, and his ears were very round and positioned somewhat high.

Overall, he looked quite strange.

Fortunately, the first madam was composed. Seeing these younger sisters scrutinizing the third sister's child, she gave a light cough to make them withdraw their gazes.

At the same time, the first madam began to serve herself food, observing the rule of silence while eating.

Seeing that the first madam seemed slightly displeased, the other madams followed suit, picking up their chopsticks in order of their status within the manor.

The wet nurse was the last to pick up her chopsticks, reaching for the poached fish closest to her.

She picked up a piece.

She did not eat it herself, but instead, being very attentive to Chen Guan, she mashed the fish meat on the plate, carefully picked out the bones, and fed the minced meat to Chen Guan bit by bit.

Just then, Chen Guan heard something and suddenly turned his head to look toward the main table where the Zhao Family head sat.
