Dragon Raja: Back from Tiling, My Mother Lu Mingfei

Chapter 25 Maternal Love Turns to Ashes

When Chen Wenwen's approval rating exceeded 60%, a new entry was also added.

【"A Masterpiece of Poetry" (SR): "I've come up with a wonderful poem, but unfortunately this place is too small to write it down..."】

[Entry Effects: Significantly improves calligraphy skills, greatly enhancing the aesthetics and legibility of the characters. Gains basic drawing abilities, enabling the accurate representation of mental images on paper. There is a positive correlation between calligraphy and painting: the better the handwriting, the smoother the lines in the drawing. The better the drawing, the more aesthetically pleasing the composition of the characters.]

The results are quite substantial.

Calligraphy, fonts, and painting are all practical skills.

Although it doesn't directly increase combat power, in this world, being able to write beautifully or draw a good picture is a great way to show off.

Moreover, he has thoroughly figured out this dog system over the past few months.

The mechanism for acquiring entries is actually quite simple: for each mother, a new entry will be given for each stage that her recognition level breaks through.

具体来说就是:10%、20%、30%、60%、90%。

Five stages, five terms.

However, the 20% is a fixed N-level entry, which is essentially a bonus. Just having it is enough; don't expect it to be particularly powerful.

10%、30%、60%、90%这四个阶段的词条都是可成长词条。30%的时候升到R,60%的时候升到SR,90%的时候升到SSR。

In other words, a mother can provide a maximum of four SSR entries, plus one N-level bonus.

A total of five.

After reviewing Chen Wenwen's entries, I switched to Su Xiaoqiang's entry.

With Su Xiaoqiang's 90% approval rating, the gifts he gave were even more extravagant.

"I have a lot of money" rose all the way to gold.

[“Money Power” (SSR): “What is your superpower?”]

[Entry Effect: You will receive a weekly allowance matching your mother's financial situation (Current Source: Su Xiaoqiang. Current Amount: 150,000 RMB/week). When you make a purchase, there is a chance to trigger the "This Doesn't Matter" effect.]

[“This doesn’t matter”: The other person will have a natural affinity for you because you look wealthy (affinity +10%)

Just how rich is Su Xiaoqiang's family? He no longer wanted to think about that question.

Thinking too much makes me really not want to work hard anymore.

Then came "The blonde twin tails are actually me," which was upgraded from R-rank to SSR.

The name has also changed.

【"I'm not a blonde twin-tailed brat" (SSR): "Trash~ Trash~ I don't need to take trash like you seriously~"】

[Action Effect: Switches to "Female Imp Form". In this form, all physical attributes are greatly enhanced, and the degree of enhancement is directly proportional to your "Female Imp Level"]

[Form switching cooldown: 10 minutes]

[Note: In this form, you will become a real female imp :)]

Sin ah.

However, the combat power boost in this form is indeed formidable.

Previously, R-rank was "all-round improvement", now SSR-rank is "all-round significant improvement".

He tried it once, and once activated, he could burst a sandbag with a single punch.

But the price was that he kept talking the whole time, shouting "small fish" at the sandbag for 10 minutes straight.

Therefore, he listed this term as a forbidden technique that should never be used unless absolutely necessary.

The other two SSR terms are a bit abstract.

One called "the radiance of motherhood".

[“Maternal Radiance” (SSR): “You have an aura that makes people want to call you ‘Mom’.”]

[Effect of this entry: When you proactively care for and look after others, they are more likely to develop a sense of dependence and trust in you.]

Does this thing even deserve to be called SSR?

Another one is called "Heavenly Gift".

【"Heavenly Property" (SSR): "Those who fall from the sky are not necessarily allies of justice; they may also be..."】

[Affix Effect: When you are in a dangerous situation, there is a certain probability of triggering a "heavenly aid" event. The form of aid is random; it could be a powerful passerby, or an unexpected weather change...]

This is very interesting.

Survival skills.

Although the trigger probability is based on luck, it's still an SSR at least.

Moreover, when combined with Chen Wenwen's "little wish," it might produce a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts.

Then there's Liu Miaomiao.

There's not much to say about Liu Miaomiao's side; she has three SR entries and one N entry, all related to music.

[“The Daily Life of a Piano Girl”: “She looks more elegant when she plays the piano”]

【Perfect Pitch (N→SR)】

【"Fingertip Magic" (SR): "The keys are finite, but the music is infinite."】

[“Concerto” (SR): “A solo performance is not as good as a duet.”]

Huai Xu was too lazy to look into the specific effects, but basically he became better and better at playing the piano, his musical talent became more and more amazing, and his coordination with Liu Miaomiao became more and more perfect, etc.

These skills are not usually used; they are only put to use in cultural performances.

Finally, there's Lu Mingfei.

At 20%, they gave me an N-level entry: "Ten-year veteran".

The effect is: when playing any game, you have a full map view.

In StarCraft, you can see what the enemy is doing; in Counter-Strike, you can see where the enemy is camping; in Warcraft, you can see where the enemy is expanding their base.

This entry is indeed powerful.

In the game, you're a cheater, and no one has any evidence to prove you're using cheats.

To put it mildly, it only works in games.

It's completely useless in reality.

At 30% of the time, "Like a cat" was upgraded from N level to R level, "Why aren't you like a cat yet?"

The effect improved slightly, but it's still rubbish.

What really caught Huai Xu's attention was the second entry that Lu Mingfei gave when he had 30% approval rating.

[The Little Match Girl (R): "Miracles and magic don't come for free :)"]

[Affix Effect: Costs 2/3 of health to boost Strength, Speed, Physical Strength, Regeneration, Reaction Speed, and Defense to the next-generation level for 30 minutes. During this time, all Word of Power effects are reduced by 50% within a 10-meter radius of the host.]

[Side effect: Forced weakness for 7 days after use, during which time the user is unable to move]

When Huai Xu first saw this entry, his first reaction was: Isn't this just Lu Mingfei's explosive power skill?

In the original story, Lu Mingfei could defeat the Dragon King by sacrificing 1/4 of his life.

It takes two-thirds of your life to reach the next generation level.

It's much worse now.

But considering this is an R-level entry, and it was given by Lu Mingfei with 30% approval rating, it's already quite good.

Once his approval rating reaches 60% or 90%, this entry will be upgraded and might even reach the level of a first-generation species or even a Dragon King.

The issue is……

2/3 health.

Huai Xu did the math and realized that if he used this skill, he would be halfway to the grave.

For the next seven days, he was a completely immobile vegetable.

Use it once and lie down for a week.

It should never be used unless it is a matter of life and death.

There are quite a few other achievements, but most of them don't offer any real rewards. The "mother gauge" hasn't increased either; after several months, it's still only at four. This has made Huai Xu somewhat disillusioned with the prospect of having dozens of mothers in the future.

"Huai Xu! Help me push the equipment back!"

The PE teacher shouted from the other end of the playground.

"They're here!"

Huai Xu jogged over, took the trolley full of basketball hoops, and headed towards the equipment room.

The equipment room is located in a row of bungalows behind the teaching building, and it's not usually frequented.

As Huai Xu walked, he planned out his evening's activities.

Chen Wenwen seems to be in a bad mood today; I need to go and cheer her up.

I haven't been in touch with Liu Miaomiao for several days, so I need to maintain a moderate level of concern while keeping my aloof persona intact.

Lu Mingfei...

Forget it, Lu Mingfei's 50% probably won't be affected anytime soon, let's leave it for now.

"Huaixu?"

A familiar voice came from behind.

Huai Xu looked back and saw Su Xiaoqiang pushing a small cart behind him, with several yoga mats on it.

She had just finished her PE class and was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and black athletic shorts, with her hair tied in a high ponytail.

"Miss Su, you're here to return equipment too?"

"Of course, otherwise I'd be pushing my bike for a walk!"

"Okay, let's go together."

The two pushed the cart, one in front of the other, towards the equipment room.

The equipment room door is an old-fashioned iron door with a shaky lock; you have to push it hard to close it.

Huai Xu pushed the car in first, then dumped it all in at once.

Su Xiaoqiang followed her in and folded the yoga mats neatly, placing them on the shelf.

The equipment room was dimly lit, with only a sliver of the setting sun shining through two small windows high up.

Dust particles in the air floated slowly within the beam of light, creating a languid tranquility.

"Alright, let's go."

Huai Xu dusted off his hands, turned and walked towards the door, only to find Su Xiaoqiang leaning against it.

With his hands behind his back, he pressed the doorknob.

Huai Xu's heart skipped a beat.

wrong.

The atmosphere is off.

"Su Xiaoqiang?"

"Um."

Why are you closing the door?

"Nothing."

"Please move aside, I need to go out."

"No."

"What do you mean...?"

"The Preface to the Locust Trees"

"Um?"

"I've put up with you for a long time."

"???"

"You hang around in front of me every day, saying things that make me blush, doing things that make my heart race, and then you just leave."

Su Xiaoqiang left the door and walked towards him.

step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

Do you know how I've been these past few months?

She walked up to Huai Xu, stopped, and looked up into his eyes.

The distance between the two people was less than ten centimeters.

Huai Xu could smell her scent, probably hormones...

"Su Xiaoqiang, what exactly are you...?"

He hadn't finished speaking.

Su Xiaoqiang stood on tiptoe.
