So Many Cheats His Hands Went Numb
Luo Li never imagined that she would one day live such a "fulfilling" life with an absurdly high "return on investment".
Taking care of a pregnant wife is a husband's inescapable responsibility and a sweet burden.
But when he completes a seemingly ordinary daily task, a "ding" sound rings in his mind, followed by all sorts of incredibly cool rewards, and the feeling becomes unbelievably... magical.
He, Luo Li, a streamer who used to make a living by relying on his C-level superpowers, is now truly experiencing what it means to have "cheat codes galore"!
Isn't this the kind of treatment only those legendary "overpowered protagonists" get? Happiness came so suddenly that he was a little dizzy.
[Ding! Detected that the host has successfully massaged the bound target ' Castorice ' to relieve lower back pain; the technique has been approved!]
[Reward: Skill "Life Rhythm" - Through contact, it can slightly accelerate cell metabolism, promoting the recovery of injuries or relieving fatigue. (Note: Extreme caution should be exercised when using this skill on pregnant women and fetuses; it is recommended for use only to relieve muscle soreness.)]
Look, even giving Castorice a massage can get you a free healing support skill.
Although it has limitations, this is a genuine life-related ability! If it were out there, countless healing-type ability users would be envious.
And this is just the beginning.
The "Special Care During Pregnancy" series of quests is like an inexhaustible treasure trove, with rewards continuously emerging as Luo Li takes meticulous care of Castorice.
[Ding! The ' Jade Shrimp Congee' carefully prepared by the host has received high praise from the Castorice (satisfaction rate 98%)!]
[Reward: Passive Skill "Heart of the Cooking God" - Greatly enhances the host's intuition and understanding of ingredient properties and cooking temperature. Say goodbye to being a kitchen disaster and become a culinary expert! (Bonus: Electronic version of "The Complete Guide to Post-Apocalyptic Nutritious Meals")]
Luo Li looked at the bowl of porridge in her hand, which she felt was unrealistically perfect, and fell into deep thought.
So, he's not only a Spacetime tycoon now, but also possibly a hidden culinary genius?
[Ding! The host has used the "Tranquility" field to assist the Castorice in its adaptive training with the power of the River of Souls; the energy resonance has achieved the desired effect!]
[Reward: Special Energy Circuit Construction Technology – "Twin Stars Shining Together"! This technology allows for the establishment of a low-energy-consumption bridge between the host and the Castorice, enabling small-scale energy complementarity and instantaneous support.]
This thing sounds incredibly advanced! Although it's currently mainly used to help Castorice stabilize the River of Souls power that occasionally fluctuates due to her pregnancy, Luo Li keenly senses that it will definitely play a remarkable role in future battles.
[Ding! The host has successfully calmed Castorice, who was feeling down due to pregnancy symptoms, and made her laugh heartily by telling her a (made-up) funny story!]
[Reward: Special item "Mood Barometer" (accessory form) - Displays the target's current mood index and simple emotion tags (e. g., happy, calm, irritable, worried) in real time, facilitating timely "emotion management" for the host.]
Luo Li looked at the palm-sized, cute pendant in her hand, which currently displayed a bright little sun and the "pleasure + relaxation" label, and her lips twitched slightly.
This system... it really went to great lengths to make sure he could take good care of Castorice, even creating this "wife mood monitor"!
But... it's so good! I'll never have to worry about accidentally making a bad choice again!
Rewards came like snowflakes, covering almost every aspect of life, support, and combat.
Luo Li's strength is being solidified and improved in all aspects at a speed that even he finds absurd.
However, the "big truck" that truly caused his heart to stop and his breathing to quicken was yet to come.
It was an afternoon when Castorice was taking a nap on a deck chair on the balcony, covered with a thin blanket. Luo Li had just finished reading a beautiful prose to her softly, following the "Guide to Emotional Relief During Pregnancy" provided by the system.
The sunlight, filtering through the Blood-Erosion Clouds, became soft and warm, illuminating her peaceful sleeping face and slightly protruding belly.
[Ding! Detected that the bound target ' Castorice ' has entered a state of deep relaxation and tranquility, reaching a new high in its dependence on the current environment and host!]
[Judgment: The host has successfully created a 'nest of love' with an extremely high level of security!]
[Special Rewards Issued:]
[1. S-Rank Spatial Skill - "Space-Trace Instant Shadow"!]
[Skill Description: Allows for extremely short, unobstructed movement within visual range or at a mental marker. The movement will leave a brief spatial afterimage, interfering with lock-on. Cooldown is very short; cost depends on movement distance and the amount of items carried.]
Luo Li: "!!!"
He felt his blood boil instantly! What did this mean? Ultimate mobility! Absolute assassination and escape capabilities! The initiative on the battlefield would be completely in his hands!
[2. S-Rank Enchantment Skill - "Path Imprint"!]
[Skill Description: Briefly enchants weapons or specific items with the user's [Spacetime] Path power. After enchanting, attacks will have the ' Spacetime Erosion ' effect (ignores some physical defense, deals true damage, and has a chance to trigger additional effects such as ' Time Dilation ' and ' Space Cutting '). Enchanted items can also temporarily gain some Spacetime properties (such as: briefly passing through space, anchoring coordinates, etc.).]
Luo Li suddenly looked at the Bloodblade Enma lying beside her.
To imbue Enma with the power of Spacetime and space? That already incomparably sharp demonic blade, further amplified with the true damage and special effects of Spacetime Erosion?
He simply couldn't imagine what a terrifying scene that would be! He would be ruthless, killing gods and Buddhas alike!
[3. Special Physique Enhancement - "Spacetime Affinity Physique" (Advanced)!]
[Effect: The host's efficiency in perceiving, absorbing, and manipulating Spacetime energy is increased by 50%. The cost of all Spacetime -based skills is reduced by 15%, and their effectiveness is increased by 10%. The physical body and soul's adaptability to Spacetime power is greatly enhanced, making it easier to withstand the burden brought by high-level Spacetime skills.]
[4. 20,000 contribution points!]
[5. One chance to randomly draw a Grade A item!]
A series of reward notifications, like the most exciting symphony, boomed and exploded in Luo Li's mind!
He stared blankly at the system interface, mouth agape, at the skills and rewards whose descriptions alone were enough to send shivers down his spine. He felt like his brain's CPU was about to burn out.
This... this isn't just a cheat code, this is practically the system's own father chewing up his food and forcing it into his mouth!
"Space-Trace Instant Shadow!" "Path Imprint!" Physique Advancement! Plus 20,000 contribution points and a lottery draw!
Luo Li pinched his thigh hard, and the sharp pain told him that this was not a dream.
At this moment, he truly experienced the kind of treatment only protagonists in novels enjoy—he was showered with cheat codes!
An indescribable surge of pride and confidence welled up from the depths of his heart, like a volcanic eruption.
The gloom and anxiety previously caused by the fragments of the future have been temporarily dispelled in the face of this real, powerful, and terrifying force.
With these things, he felt even more confident in protecting Castorice and the children!
He couldn't wait to try out these new abilities.
With a slight thought, his mental energy, like invisible tentacles, instantly locked onto a certain point at the other end of the living room.
The next moment, he felt the surrounding space slightly distort. Almost the instant his thoughts formed, his figure vanished from the balcony without warning, like a ghost, and appeared at the lock point in the living room!
Only a faint, slowly fading silver afterimage remained in place.
Teleportation! Real, virtually instantaneous teleportation!
Luo Li felt the slightest depletion of her Path force within her body, and her heart pounded wildly.
This "Space-Trace Instant Shadow" was even more powerful and convenient than he had imagined.
He then looked at Bloodblade Enma.
Concentrating his mind, he attempted to mobilize the power of [Spacetime] Path, slowly enveloping the dark red blade according to the skill guidance of "Path Imprint".
Buzz--!
Enma let out a pleasant hum, and on the blade, the originally restrained dark red blood light began to flow with strands of dazzling and dangerous silver light. The surrounding air was slightly distorted and trembled because of this power.
Luo Li could clearly sense that Enma at this moment contained a terrifying power capable of tearing apart space and disrupting time!
He suppressed the urge to immediately test his knife on a vampire and slowly dissipated the enchantment.
We mustn't scare Castorice.
He walked back to the balcony, looked at Castorice was still sleeping peacefully, and finally his gaze fell on the "Mood Barometer" pendant she was wearing.
The little sun above is still shining brightly, and the label remains "joy + relaxation".
Luo Li's heart was filled with an indescribable sense of satisfaction and motivation.
All these efforts and achievements are for the purpose of protecting the Tranquility and beauty before us.
He gently crouched down, carefully avoiding disturbing her, and gently placed his palm on her lower abdomen.
Through the "Life Aura Perception," those two warm and vibrant little life forces, like the warm sun in winter, soothed his soul.
"Don't worry, Castorice, my babies," he silently promised in his heart, "I'm incredibly strong right now."
