Chapter 261: Strength approaching world class (1/2)
*Cough* *Cough*
Ben woke up feeling like a bag full of smashed up nutsacks.
…
The pain was so intense from this third strength potion that he couldn't stand it for more than 10 seconds and passed out. In a way, it was a blessing because he didn't suffer through it, but it was dangerous too. Ben knew the risks of being asleep during trauma—it created a high chance of someone drawing a penis on his face.
…
Nevertheless, he survived it, and after checking his phone, he learned an hour had passed. ”I guess I'll need to test it out.” Next, as he did before, he checked his strength with a round of push-ups, and soon reached a satisfying result.
”It's about a 20 percent boost again.” It was an approximation, but the result was consistent with the gains from earlier potions. Now, Ben's strength was above elite level and approaching world-class!
He narrowed his eyes. 'Next time I see Valentina, I'm going to give her a real piece of my mind.' For some reason, he thought this would help him better estimate her measurements…
Whether or not that was true…Ben had now finished reviewing his gains from Tina, and with that, a new issue emerged: what to do with the following week.
His manliness multiplier expired and things were going well at work, school, and BJJ, but he no longer had a clear choice of direction. At the moment, he held no multiplier and there was also no urgent need for development in any area. With 40,700 points saved, he also hadn't reached his goal of 50,000. So as far as the best next move, it was hard to say.
”I suppose…the first thing I should do is buy a multiplier.” Although he was saving points, this was a case where he needed to spend money. However, it wouldn't be too expensive, because Ben was a cheapskate.
[Low Level Stat Growth Multiplier(Consumable, Fine, Random): 2000 points]
He planned to go with the random option. If he wanted to choose a stat, it would cost 5000, but since it didn't matter much now, then he might as well live thriftily. With that in mind, he navigated through his system screen to the store, and purchased it.
Not long after, Ben was holding a white card in his hand.
[Low Level Stat Growth Multiplier(Consumable, Fine, Personal Talent) x1 - After activating, get 10x the results while practicing an activity related to the specified stat. Also increases motivation and recovery for those activities. Lasts for 7 days]
”Personal talent…” It seemed the theme of the next week would be shoring up the main weakness of his stat build: being a waste...
Ben thought it was good that the multiplier was for personal talent though. With this, although the results would be much weaker than with the previous mid level, he could continue the momentum he'd built up in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Yet, he desired to go further. 'This'll be good for BJJ but I should also try practicing something else. After all, if the system determines the personal talent stat based on skills that attract women, then it'll be good to a diversity of talents that they appreciate. Many women won't care about BJJ or MMA.'
