Ch 25: New attribute: Corpse Dog Lurking Arrow
C*ck-a-doodle-doo!
A loud rooster’s crow broke the silence of the small county town.
Lin Tian was awakened by the crowing. He got up, stretched, and his joints made slight cracking sounds.
“Ah~ comfortable.”
Nannan was in Qing Yi’s room. From now on, he would let Qing Yi take care of her. Lin Tian completely gave up on wanting to take care of the child.
“Lottery, lottery.”
Lin Tian was a little excited, wondering what the silver lottery draw would give him this time.
He had saved up a month’s worth of daily check-in lottery draws, thirty draws plus one monthly silver lottery draw.
Let’s see what good stuff I can get. Don’t disappoint me.
“System, lottery draw!”
Ding! Drawing lottery.
Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding~
The dinging sound was endless. Lin Tian laughed, feeling extremely happy.
Ten bottles of Erguotou, ten servings of spicy rabbit head, two servings of nine-turn sauced large intestine, a lace-trimmed floral skirt, a smiling face mask, honey candied fruit, a rare blue parrot…
Ding! Ten Marrow Cleansing Pills
Ding! Gained ten years of internal energy
Ding! Gained attribute: 【Corpse Dog Lurking Arrow】
Ding! Gained attribute: 【Gluttony and Laziness】
“What are all these things…”
Lin Tian looked at the series of items and the two attributes, somewhat dumbfounded.
Well, the system has taken over a month’s worth of meals again.
Gluttony and Laziness, what do I need it for? To make myself lazy?
It’s similar to that Simple-Minded attribute from last time, neither good nor bad.
“Absorb ten years of internal energy!”
In an instant! Lin Tian felt his body filled with electricity. His entire body was enveloped in a halo of light. Lin Tian couldn’t help but “scream” out of comfort.
“So good! So good! So good!”
After a while, the internal energy subsided. Lin Tian looked at the other rewards.
【Corpse Dog Lurking Arrow】 Ears and nose as sharp as a dog’s, hearing the slightest breeze.
【Gluttony and Laziness】 Having tasted all the delicacies, the heart is content, still dreaming at midday.
Lin Tian understood that these attributes are not necessarily good, nor necessarily bad, and may even be neither good nor bad.
This Corpse Dog, simply put, makes me more sensitive.
It allows me to hear in all directions and smell in six directions, like a dog lurking for arrows, discerning the slightest detail.
Isn’t this just a dog? Still, a sensitive dog, but this attribute is indeed appealing.
I can’t use attributes like Gluttony and Laziness myself.
Simple-Minded is better. Giving it to Pang Tong should be a good choice, allowing him to change his temperament.
That’s right! If I don’t give it to my own people, I can give it to the enemy. With this attribute, a genius becomes a lazy bum.
Using it in the right place is more effective than a normal positive attribute.
“Hehe.”
“Activate Corpse Dog.”
Ding! Activation of positive attributes has reached six. Drawing a negative attribute.
Lin Tian’s head went blank. He forgot again that he had turned off Groin Kick and activated Deterrence a few days ago when he fought Yan Qing.
It was precisely because the attributes could be turned off at will that he always kept five, so he wouldn’t activate negative attributes.
Beep beep beep~
Lin Tian only felt a blur before his eyes. A large turntable was spinning. Lin Tian was dazzled by the black characters.
Gulp!
Lin Tian swallowed and his expression became serious.
What attribute will it be this time? Just don’t let it be Heaven Envies the Talented, dying on the spot, or something like that.
Ding! Negative attribute 【Body of Illness】
“Afflicted with a chronic illness, qi like a gossamer thread, medicine ineffective, tears staining clothes.”
“Dantian spiritual seed absorbs essence, years of accumulation gather supernatural power.”
“Past sea of suffering now crossed, slaying heaven, slaying emperor, slaying King Yama.”
“I’m screwed!”
Lin Tian cursed inwardly, feeling his body’s energy constantly dissipating. At this moment, he was really panicked.
Now he truly and deeply experienced despair, the feeling of visibly turning into an ordinary person.
This feeling is like, you were originally a carefree immortal in the sky, but suddenly you become a mortal. That huge sense of loss swept over his heart.
Lin Tian hurriedly shouted, “System! Turn off Corpse Dog for me quickly.”
Ding! Corpse Dog Lurking Arrow has been turned off. Body of Illness has been turned off.
“Phew.”
Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief. Isn’t this just a textbook kidney deficiency physique? A spiritual seed parasitized within the Dantian, constantly absorbing the body’s nutrients.
As time goes by, the body will gradually be sucked dry and unable to hold on, hanging by a thread.
But the stronger the spiritual seed, the stronger the power it unleashes.
Ten years to forge a sword, only three seconds to unleash it.
A solid three-second God of War.
Just imagine, a spiritual seed nurtured for five years, or even ten years, should be more than enough to slay a Grandmaster.
However, during these ten years, the spiritual seed is like a parasite constantly ravaging his body. Lin Tian didn’t want to experience that pain at all.
It seems I have to quickly find a host for the spiritual seed. There is no suitable candidate yet.
.
Creak!
A small head peeked out from the crack in the door, looking a little simple-minded.
“Hehe~ Daddy.”
Nannan pushed open the door and ran towards Lin Tian. Lin Tian smiled happily when he saw Nannan.
“Honey, why did you get up so early today? It’s not noon yet.”
Nannan plunged into Lin Tian’s arms.
“Daddy, I~ I dreamed of Mommy.”
Lin Tian was instantly stunned. How should he answer this? This little one had never had a mother since she was little. Lin Tian had raised her all by himself.
Moreover, Lin Tian currently has no plans to find a mom for the little one.
A great cause is before him, so romantic feelings can wait.
No! I can’t let my daughter go, what if she runs wild?
Lin Tian rubbed her little head and carried her towards the courtyard.
Lin Tian walked and said, “Then in the dream, what did your mommy look like?”
“Um~ very beautiful, but it seems like she was locked up by someone. Daddy~ let’s go save Mommy, okay?”
Nannan tugged at Lin Tian’s clothes, her voice a little anxious.
Lin Tian said “Okay, okay” on the lips.
Actually, he was cursing in his heart. Just kidding, why save her? She could throw away such a cute daughter, how vicious is her heart?
Lin Tian walked to the courtyard and saw Qing Yi drawing water.
Qing Yi smiled brightly: “Master!”
Lin Tian nodded.
“After drawing water, go practice martial arts. I’ll make breakfast today.”
“Okay, Master.”
Lin Tian sat in the courtyard and put Nannan on another chair.
Then he said earnestly to Nannan, “Honey, actually there’s been a secret I haven’t told you.”
Nannan stared at Lin Tian with her big eyes. Lin Tian didn’t care whether she understood or not.
“It was a stormy night. Your daddy braved the heavy rain to go up the mountain to cut down trees.”
“Suddenly, there was thunder and lightning, and a strong wind blew.”
“Thunder turned into thunder dragons, blasting towards the ground, leaving nothing alive within a hundred meters.”
“After a long time, the thunder finally dissipated, and the top of the mountain returned to calm. Your daddy then mustered his courage and walked forward.”
“Suddenly!”
“I saw you pop out of a crack in the rock.”
“So honey, your mommy may be a rock.”
“Daddy didn’t lie to you.” Lin Tian said solemnly.
Nannan raised her head, stretched out her small hands to count, and muttered, “I’m a rock, my mom is a rock, my dad is…”
Nannan looked at Lin Tian: “Then why aren’t you a rock, Daddy?”
“Cough cough.” Lin Tian coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.
Qing Yi, who was on the side, “pfft”ed. Master is too good at deceiving children.
Lin Tian glared at Qing Yi, trying to expose me, huh?
“Come! It’s your turn to play. I’ll go cook.”
Taking care of children is the most troublesome thing. Let’s leave it to Qing Yi.
“That’s right, Daddy got you a good thing.”
In Qing Yi and Nannan’s gazes, Lin Tian turned around, and a blue parrot appeared in his hand.
“Wow!”
Qing Yi and Nannan’s eyes lit up.
The blue parrot was about the size of a pigeon, not small, and looked a little dull.
“Gah gah gah!”
It flapped its wings, making crow-like sounds.
Lin Tian’s face darkened. Isn’t this a rare species? What’s going on? Did it crossbreed with a crow?
Lin Tian handed the parrot to Qing Yi. Qing Yi hurriedly grabbed the parrot.
“Find a rope and tie it around its neck, so it can’t run away. It’s not bad to raise it as a dog.”
“Gah gah gah!”
“You’re the dog, you’re the dog.”
“So hard to listen to, so hard to listen to.”
Hearing this, Lin Tian’s face darkened even more. You mutt dare to scold me. Forget it, I, Lin Tian, won’t argue with a stupid bird.
Nannan on the side laughed wildly: “Daddy is a puppy.”
Lin Tian suddenly felt a little exhausted. Sigh! This family might as well break up. Why do I feel like the head of this family has so little status?
After a while, Lin Tian brought out the cooked porridge, paired with some pickles. This little life was extremely comfortable.
“Dinner is served.”
Bang!
The door was pushed open, and a round ball ran in from outside the door.
Lin Tian was startled. He saw Pang Tong appear next to the table with lightning speed.
“Where’s the food? Where’s my food?”
……………….
