In the blink of an eye, it was midafternoon.
Inside the room.
Qian opened his eyes, looked at his empty palm, then picked up the book beside him again and began reading it carefully.
After a long while, he sighed softly and said, "Ah, developing a fourth attribute really isn't that easy after all!"
