Chapter 74 A Good Man
Chapter 74 A Good Man
Chu Sheng quickly sat up in bed and tried to smooth things over.
"Stop for a moment." Chu Sheng raised his hands. "Instead of discussing who I am, let's take a look at my current state."
He got out of bed and stretched his limbs.
Arthur turned his head and looked him up and down, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
"You're completely healed?" Arthur frowned. "Wait, why do you have so much more holy light?"
"Tier 1?" Amber also noticed, somewhat surprised. "Not bad, little [Hero] can finally stand on his own for a bit."
Chu Sheng was taken aback.
Right, isn't my path to transcendence the "Player" path? Then what about the "Hero" path?
Am I really a hero?
Given the rumors that Veronica was not dead, Chu Sheng fell silent for a moment.
But his nature was always to take things one step at a time. After a few seconds of silence, he was drawn to another of Amber's words: "First-tier? Then I'd be considered a superhuman?"
"You can close your eyes and feel your heart," Amber smiled. "Is there a stripe on it?"
Chu Sheng did as instructed, and to his surprise, he actually felt a strange, glowing pattern appear on his heart, which was emerald gold in color.
"It really is!" He opened his eyes in surprise.
Upon careful recollection, the hidden skill "Wa Junior is here!" can be used once a day. Each time you call out "Mom" to the target, you can restore your physical condition to its peak after receiving a positive response.
The only possibility is that he received two positive responses, which doubled his recovery, allowing him to break through to the first tier in one fell swoop!
By the way, Amber's affection level should be maxed out by now. Things have been piling up lately, which made him forget to check the strategy guide.
If the hidden half-course rewards are this strong, what about the complete walkthrough?
Chu Sheng was somewhat expectant.
"Thanks to your meticulous care," Chu Sheng raised an eyebrow at the two of them. "I feel fantastic now! Arthur, give me a good one!"
"?" Arthur was taken aback, looking at his smug expression. His gaze swept around the room before landing on the empty glass bottle on the table. "Are you serious?"
"Of course." Chu Sheng looked at her, somewhat intimidated. "But don't be so ruthless. I just want to try."
Arthur casually picked up the empty glass bottle and flicked his wrist.
"Whoosh!"
The glass bottle shattered through the air and hurtled straight toward Chu Sheng's head!
Of course, Arthur held back some of his strength, and Amber was watching over her so she could feel at ease.
The glass bottle was moving extremely fast. Amber's eyes narrowed, and she was about to intercept it when she saw Chu Sheng advance instead of retreat.
"Well done!"
In that instant, Chu Sheng felt as if time around him had slowed down countless times, and the flying glass bottle in mid-air became a series of slow-motion frames.
At the same time, three semi-transparent option boxes popped up in front of him.
[A. Seeking help from Amber Heard]
[B. Ask Arthur for help]
[C. Hit by a falling object, fainted, mild concussion]
Looking at these three options, Chu Sheng turned pale.
Holy crap! How come I'm still so weak?
By the way, these three options are absolutely limited by his current strength and the laws of reality. In other words, even if Arthur casually throws a bottle at him, it's not something he can withstand!
Wait, he also has the skills of a cat-man and the characteristics of a slime!
As soon as the idea came to mind, the three options seemed to be interfered with by something, becoming blurry and emitting a hissing sound.
Then, three new options appeared before us.
[A. Agile Dodging]
[B. Head-on impact, minor injury]
【C. Seeking Help】
Chu Yi had an idea and decisively locked onto option A.
As soon as he made his choice, Chu Sheng felt himself instinctively begin to dodge, his muscles activating in the most perfect and efficient way, making him at least twice as agile as when he used his cat-man skills before!
So this is the right way to use skills!
If he was roughly half a cat-man when he activated his skill before, then now!
Audrey, I am Liu Lu... no, I am Chu Sheng.
Actually, I've been a cat person for a long time; I've even become a cat citizen.
The flow rate of time has returned to normal.
"Snapped!"
A crisp cracking sound echoed in the room.
Arthur was stunned, and Amber also widened her beautiful eyes slightly.
Chu Sheng remained in the same standing position as before, but with a slight turn of his body, the glass bottle grazed the hem of his clothes as it flew through the air and smashed against the wall behind him, shattering into pieces on the floor.
The movements were fluid and natural.
Arthur was somewhat surprised. Although she hadn't used her full strength, the speed and force of that casual throw were definitely not something someone who had just entered the first level could dodge.
She had already given Amber a meaningful look, signaling him to make a move.
Moreover, Chu Sheng's action just now showed no trace of magical fluctuations; it was purely a physical reaction.
This defies common sense!
"You...you're like a cat-man!" Arthur's eyes were full of inquiry. "Is it true what you said about learning whatever you see?"
Chu Sheng smiled mysteriously: "Of course, you can call me... a pro gamer."
Looking at Chu Sheng's irritating appearance, Amber's worry faded, replaced by a gentle smile.
She slowly and deliberately pulled the slipped shoulder strap back onto her rounded shoulder and stood up.
"It seems you have indeed recovered very well," Amber said softly.
Chu Sheng looked at her, then at Arthur, and felt that this was a good opportunity.
Only when a man has power and influence can he have the confidence to make excessive demands on his wife.
In particular, the requirements for boiling natron.
He said to Arthur sincerely, "Arthur, you've seen the mess the Sacred Tree Forest is in now. Amber is all alone here."
Arthur glanced at him: "What are you trying to say?"
"It's too lonely to be alone." Chu Sheng extended his left hand to Arthur and his right hand to Amber. "Your Majesty, Arthur is here too. Now, on behalf of the Hero Squad, I formally extend an invitation to you to join my team."
Arthur wasn't present at the last invitation, and Chu Sheng believed that a good man wouldn't hide Er Nai from his first wife; it was a matter of respect for both women.
Amber understood Chu Sheng's thoughts, but she didn't mind.
She even felt a little relieved.
She looked at Chu Sheng's outstretched hand, then her gaze swept over Arthur, who stood silently to the side. Finally, her eyes fell on the forest outside the window, gradually being illuminated by the morning light.
The sacred tree has fallen into slumber, and the royal court has been reduced to ruins.
This land she has protected for thousands of years now only brings her endless sorrow.
She turned around, extended her fair and soft hand, and gently placed it in Chu Sheng's palm.
"Alright." Amber smiled slightly, her stunningly beautiful face radiant in the morning light. "I accept your invitation, little hero."
Arthur turned his head away, not to be outdone, and took Chu Sheng's other hand: "Let's make it clear beforehand, I agreed first."
