After Dan Heng took the key, March 7th stretched, then turned to Stelle and Jiang Yu and asked, "So? Are we calling it a day, or should we look around some more?"
Stelle shook her head. "I'm beat. Let's go back to our rooms and rest."
March 7th narrowed her eyes. "Weren't you full of energy just now? You're tired already?"
Stelle turned toward Jiang Yu, who stood there seemingly lost in thought. "Let's get some rest early. Look how worn out the kid is."
Jiang Yu blinked. "I'm actually fine, but sure, let's rest!"
Jiang Yu really wasn't that tired. He had only been checking what the system had said, which, as usual, was a report on his rewards.
[Ding! The host's attention count has exceeded 140,000. Skill reward: Xunfeng Sword Formation. Reward: 400 Stellar Jade.] [Ding! The host's rate of attention growth has begun to increase. Reward: 300 Stellar Jade. Reward: Strength Enhancement.] [Ding! The host's strength has increased again.] [Ding! The host's attention count will exceed 150,000 before the next settlement. Flying Sword acquisition will trigger alongside the special event.] [Ding! The special event triggered by the host is about to begin. Please pay attention to your surroundings in the coming days.]
Those were roughly the system's five messages. Besides the usual rewards and increases in strength, there were reminders about the upcoming special event and Flying Sword.
All these messages put Jiang Yu in a good mood.
However, as his strength grew, Jiang Yu did notice a few issues.
Perhaps thanks to the system, he felt no jarring difficulty adapting when his strength increased. There was none of that sense of a full container breaking through its constraints and expanding. By the time he obtained the power, he had already adapted to it well.
