Thousand-Faced Dragon

Chapter 164 The Greedy Snake (Third Update, Please Vote)
"He's really gone."

Looking at the motionless Kusura in the room, Rean sighed with emotion.

Some people, you don't feel anything when they're around, and you might even find them annoying, but when they're really gone, you always feel like something's missing.

"call."

He slowly got out of bed, but he did not experience the expected post-operative weakness.

He reached out and touched the spot where he remembered the wound, but couldn't find even the scar.

It was as if all of this was a dream.

"I've already asked the pastor to come." Seeing Rean's bewildered expression, Purple Rose seemed a little uneasy as well.

Rean clenched his fist, stood up, and smiled at Purple Rose.

He didn't feel he should pass on his negative emotions to a girl who had taken care of him for three days.

"It looks like it was a success."

It didn't require any feeling; after taking two steps, Rean felt full of energy.

He got up so suddenly that he unconsciously left a handprint on the bed.

Looking back at the obvious marks, Rean was also a little surprised, and the changes on the encyclopedia panel clearly showed the changes in his physical body.

[Creature Name: Multi-Headed Young Dragon (Black Dragon, Red Dragon), Creature Level: Silver, Status: Strength 14, Constitution 16, Agility 10, Spirit 14]

Strength increased by 4, Physique increased by 5, Agility increased by 4, and even Spirit, which is the hardest to improve (theoretically it shouldn't increase), increased by four points.

This is probably thanks to the gifts from the Mind Flayer Mastermind and the Black Dragon Brothers.

"This promotion seems a bit far-fetched."

It's obvious that Rean's attributes surpass those of a normal Silver species, as can be clearly seen when compared to Talia, who is also a Silver species.

[Beast Level: Silver, Status: Strength 11, Constitution 11, Agility 14]

The top three have a total base attribute of 40 to 36, which seems like a small difference, but the difference in strength and physique is so great that it is easy to achieve a physical crushing victory once they start fighting.

In actual combat, when swords are clashed, the weaker party has a high chance of losing control.

During the collision or exchange of injuries, Rean might not have died, but Talia might have been killed instantly.

At this point, Rean's strength had exceeded the ogre's by 13 points, rendering the Cursed Ogre Gloves completely unusable.

This also means that Rean can now try to crush ordinary ogres.

In actual combat, the difference in agility will not be very obvious. Agility is more like an evaluation of body balance and overall speed. With Rean's Dragon Eye, this difference is not a big problem at all.

Moreover, Rean is at least five or six points higher in terms of mental strength, which combined gives him an overwhelming advantage in terms of physical strength.

This is still based on the premise that Talia is also a very strong and rare advanced form.

"Is this a dragon? It truly deserves to be called the king of hard attributes."

The most obvious advancement of dragon attributes is that hardware attributes often become superior.

Another example is Dania's attributes, which were discovered by Rean.

[Biotype Level: Gold, Status: Strength 16, Physique 18, Agility 12]

With nearly identical attribute curves to Rean, this well-rounded character boasts the highest physique, followed by strength, and its agility is also quite good—a very typical dragon.

Her mental strength is also likely to be high, and it's very likely to be her highest primary attribute.

With her physical attributes, just looking at strength and physique, Dania is already not far behind the Hill Giant.

Rean stood up, jumped, punched a few times, and even faintly heard the sound of wind breaking through the air. Compared to when he first arrived in Radiant City, he was much stronger now.

With this physique and three professions, Rean has finally become a true powerhouse with his own combat system.

He looked at himself in the mirror and saw that there was no obvious change in his appearance, nor was there any obvious sign of another person's head.

But Rean could sense that another line of thought was operating at more than ten times the speed, and it was very likely that it was much more powerful than his own.

Two extra horns appeared below the ends of her hair; they were barely noticeable unless you looked closely.

In each of their palms, there was an extra tiny "scale," which was a pale white crystal.

"A psionic export?"

This was the psionic outlet that Kuku had promised, but in the end, he decided to place it in his palm to avoid wear and tear from collisions.

But it also seems convenient for him to use it for espionage.

Rean closed his eyes and felt a stark contrast between his physical and mental state and that before he went to sleep.

"Where are Suliman and the others?"

Once he was certain that he was in good condition, Rean naturally focused on the current situation.

I've slept for three days without even realizing it. How is the ambassadorial delegation doing? Where are Suliman and the others?

“They’ve been back for two days already, they might have arrived by now.” Hearing this, Rean nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't find it strange that they abandoned him; after all, the ambassadorial delegation was in a hurry to return and report, and it wouldn't make sense for them to wait here for three days.

He was already a little surprised that Purple Rose had stayed behind to wait for him; she must be very busy.

"The two juniors are in very bad condition and probably need further treatment. We don't have much else here, but we have a lot of priests." She sighed as well. She had been working overtime a lot these days and just couldn't leave.

Now that things have settled down, she has more time to focus on her own affairs.

"Hey, little Rean, stop with the boring stuff. We finally have some free time for a date! Can you look at me a bit more?" The girl was a little annoyed that the man was always talking about work.

After breakfast, Rean was dragged out to the street by Purple Rose. It was a rare opportunity to visit the Underworld, and now that there was no pressure, he naturally wanted to see more of the Underworld's specialties.

Of course, the main reason is that Rean owes Purple Rose a lot, and now that he has time, he will naturally fulfill his promise to "go on a date when there is time".

As for when the agreement was made, Rean couldn't remember. But for now, it seemed like he had made a promise.

"Is this necklace pretty?" Rean was still trying to recall when he had agreed to it when Purple Rose pulled him to the next shop.

"nice."

"Does this dress look good?" the girl asked, holding it up to herself and twirling around.

"nice."

Rean was clearly not someone who enjoyed shopping with girls; most of the time, he would just give them perfunctory replies.

He wasn't lying; he genuinely couldn't distinguish between "mysterious spider patterns" and "scattered spider patterns," nor did he understand the theological meanings behind those small sculptures. In any case, they all had an exotic feel and were quite beautiful.

Even such perfunctory praise made Purple Rose very happy, and she readily let Rean buy them all and put them into her small, unreliable storage bag.

For this date, Purple Rose asked Rean to pay as a way of thanking her for her efforts. Rean smiled and readily agreed.

He made a fortune from the other party this time, and he was so impressed with their service that he didn't know how to respond. Now he feels more at ease spending some money.

Along the way, the girl saw small shops frequented by ordinary people, and Rean felt a little embarrassed buying those small items that cost copper coins.

"This xylophone."

"It looks great, I'll buy it."

"Is this ring pretty?"

"Okay, wait a minute, I don't think I meant it the way I guessed, do I? What's with that pout?"

Rean almost bought a ring for Purple Rose.

The failure made her sullen as she kicked a small stone on the road. Rean gasped. Was she not joking with me, but serious all along?
But she quickly cheered up and happily dragged Rean to the next date location.

Having finally managed to send Sally Mang back, we can't afford to waste such a good opportunity.

The date lasted until after dinner, when Purple Rose had to go treat two of her juniors.

As night fell, looking at the empty house and the doll-like Kusura, Rean felt a strange emptiness.

"Go to sleep early." He didn't feel like reading or practicing today, so he decided to go to bed early.

He thought he would have a dreamless night, but around midnight, he heard some strange noises.
"Uh."

Suddenly, he felt as if he were being paralyzed by a ghost.

He suddenly opened his eyes, only to see two long, orange-yellow snake eyes in the darkness. He was instantly startled awake, but the next moment, he smelled a familiar floral fragrance and relaxed.

"rose?"

"Well, it's me."

Just as Li En was relieved, he glanced at the screen and was completely startled awake!

How can this clothing be so revealing? It's practically just two pieces of fabric!
He tried to reach out to block it, but he still couldn't move.

Then, seeing the girl crawling into the blanket, he was terrified.

"Wait a minute!!" Rean wondered if he was dreaming. How could such a thing happen!

"No way!" Purple Rose refused Rean's request for the first time, her tone tinged with grievance.

"Haven't I been good to you? Why did you reject me?" The girl's voice trembled with tears.

"I'm not rejecting you. Our feelings aren't strong enough yet, let's at least go on a few more dates." At this moment, Rean's inexperienced nature was on full display.

"Work together for a few more days, and you'll develop feelings for her!" Hearing that Rean hadn't rejected her, Purple Rose's sobbing instantly disappeared, and she revealed her cheerful true self!

How could she stop? Once the news gets back, there will definitely be a bunch of new competitors!
Get it first, then talk about feelings!

Once a snake has set its sights on its prey, it will not hesitate for a moment!

Once you've swallowed it, no one can take it away from you!
"Wait, not a few times, but several days?!" Rean's final wail sounded utterly powerless.

His subsequent resistance after gaining his freedom also seemed to lack sincerity.
