Chapter 9: Power Enhancement, Strength Greatly Increased

Page (1/3)

After returning home, Ye Feng locked the door behind him.

He immediately tapped to claim the rewards for the two missions.

The system notification sounded.

[Notification: Congratulations, Host! You have completed the Beginner Mission and received 20 portions of bait!]

[Notification: Congratulations, Host! You have completed the Daily Mission and received 10 portions of bait!]

Adding the 10 portions he had received earlier for triggering the event, Ye Feng checked the total amount of bait.

[Bait]: 40 portions

“Forty portions of bait!”

Ye Feng was overjoyed.

“If I have bait, I have to use it!”

“Improving my strength as quickly as possible is what truly matters!”

With that thought, Ye Feng silently called out in his mind:

“System, fish twenty times in succession!”

Within the fishing space, the hook traced a parabola through the air and flew into the endless darkness.

[Notification: Fishing in progress…]

Ye Feng prayed silently.

“Gods and Buddhas of the heavens, please bless me. I have to fish up something good!”

The next moment, the system notifications rang out.

[Notification: Congratulations, Host! You have successfully fished up one unopened pair of Liba Family stockings!]

[Notification: Congratulations, Host! You have successfully fished up one pack of Eight-Degree Space sanitary pads!]

[Notification: Congratulations, Host! You have successfully fished up one bottle of edible personal lubricant!]

[…]

The corner of Ye Feng’s mouth twitched, and he was speechless.

What the hell were these things?

Come on, System! Give me something useful!

The system notifications continued to sound.

[Notification: Congratulations, Host! You have successfully fished up one carton of Li Tao pull-apart bread!]

He had fished up food!

And not just a little—an entire carton!

Ye Feng opened the item details.

[Item]: Li Tao Pull-Apart Bread
[Quality]: Common
[Description]: An ordinary loaf of bread. Eating it will fill your stomach.

Ye Feng smiled.

Pull-apart bread was pretty good…

At the very least, it was much better than the several useless items that had come before.

Ye Feng tore open a packet and began to eat.

[Notification: Fishing continues…]

At that moment, the fishing system paused for several seconds.

[Notification: Congratulations, Host! You have successfully fished up one Strength Enhancement Scroll!]

“Did I finally get something good?”

Ye Feng’s eyes widened, and a trace of delight appeared on his face.

“A Strength Enhancement Scroll?”

“Woohoo! I fished up another supernatural item!”

The corners of Ye Feng’s lips curled upward.

[Notification: Congratulations, Host! You have successfully fished up one carton of Yunnan Ham Mooncakes!]

[Notification: Congratulations, Host! You have successfully fished up one pack of Blue Star Chinese scratch-off lottery tickets!]

An entire carton of Yunnan ham mooncakes—now that was something good!

As for the scratch-off tickets… what use could they possibly have now?

They would probably be uncomfortable even if he used them as toilet paper!

Ye Feng was somewhat speechless.

The system notifications continued without pause.

[Notification: Congratulations, Host! You have successfully fished up one pair of black lace panties!]

[Notification: Congratulations, Host! You have successfully fished up one Speed Enhancement Scroll!]

[Notification: Congratulations, Host! You have successfully fished up one small black leather whip!]

[…]

“A Speed Enhancement Scroll? Now that’s a good item!”

Ye Feng’s eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Before long, his twenty fishing attempts came to an end.

“I didn’t get many good things this time.”

Ye Feng sighed softly before turning his attention to the two newly acquired supernatural scrolls.

His previous experience had already shown him that these things were valuable.

With a thought, Ye Feng took out the first scroll.

Like the Swordsmanship Mastery Scroll, this one also radiated a pale blue glow.

Ye Feng examined it.

[Item]: Strength Enhancement Scroll
[Quality]: Rare
[Description]: After using this scroll, your strength will increase to a certain degree.

“An item of rare quality really is something special!”

“It can permanently increase my physical strength!”

Overjoyed, Ye Feng tore the scroll apart without the slightest hesitation.

The next moment, the scroll transformed into a streak of blue light and merged into his body.

A warm current surged through Ye Feng from head to toe, filling every limb and bone as it continuously strengthened his muscles, sinews, bones, and skin.

His entire body felt indescribably comfortable, as though he were wrapped in soft clouds.

Every part of him was brimming with vitality, and even his thoughts became clearer.

As the enhancement continued, the muscles on Ye Feng’s body gradually became more defined, while eight abdominal muscles appeared and disappeared beneath his skin.

After a while, the enhancement ended.

Ye Feng’s strength had been fully enhanced.

“This feeling is wonderful!”

Ye Feng wore an expression of lingering regret, as though he hated for the sensation to end.

Then he came back to himself, clenched his fists, and sensed the changes in his strength.

His power had undergone an explosive transformation. This was not a technical improvement like his swordsmanship, nor an increase in the energy within his body. It was a pure enhancement of his physical strength.

Moreover, as his strength increased, his stamina, speed, and other attributes had also risen slightly.

“Just how strong am I now?”

After thinking for a moment, Ye Feng walked toward the large double-door refrigerator in his home.

Standing before it, he supported the refrigerator with one hand and applied the slightest force.

He lifted it effortlessly.

“Haha! My strength has increased tremendously!”

Ye Feng was ecstatic and overjoyed.

He had not even used ten percent of his strength.

When he had awakened the ability known as Chaos Divine Thunder, his physical strength had already increased considerably.

Now, after being further enhanced by the Strength Enhancement Scroll, his physical power had risen another great deal.

It felt incredible!

Ye Feng’s heart was filled with exhilaration.

After testing his strength, Ye Feng took out the second supernatural scroll.

[Item]: Speed Enhancement Scroll
[Quality]: Rare
[Description]: After using this scroll, your speed will increase to a certain degree.

“Just as I thought. This scroll is similar to the Strength Enhancement Scroll!”

Ye Feng was delighted, and the corners of his mouth rose involuntarily.

He extended his hand and applied a little force, tearing the scroll apart.

Whoosh!

The scroll instantly transformed into a streak of blue light and shot into Ye Feng’s body…

A warm current immediately surged through his entire body, filling every limb and bone.

As the warm current repeatedly coursed through him, Ye Feng grew stronger and stronger.

This feels incredible!

Ye Feng enjoyed the enhancement process, becoming completely immersed in it.

A moment later, the enhancement of his speed ended.

Ye Feng swung his fists, leaving several afterimages in the air.

He took a few more steps. His speed was astonishingly fast, wind rising beneath his feet, and every movement felt effortless.

“Haha! Both my striking speed and movement speed have increased quite a bit!”

Ye Feng was beaming, his heart filled with satisfaction.

These enhancement scrolls really were extraordinary!

If he could continue growing stronger like this…

His future was limitless!

After moving his arms and legs for a while and adapting to his greatly increased speed and strength, Ye Feng curiously opened his status panel to check his combat power.

[Combat Power Index]: 211

Ye Feng was thrilled.

He had actually reached 211 points!

The Combat Power Index was calculated based on factors such as energy, strength, and speed. It did not include supernatural abilities, skills, weapons, or anything of the sort.

Ye Feng had not absorbed any crystal cores, so he was still a First-Order, One-Star Awakened. His energy had not improved.

The dramatic increase in his Combat Power Index came purely from the enhancement of his strength and speed.

Not bad at all!

Ye Feng’s heart was practically singing.

After closing the panel, he turned his attention to the other items he had fished up.

[Item]: Small Black Leather Whip
[Quality]: Common
[Description]: Nothing more than an ordinary little leather whip. If you intend to use it against an enemy, you are seriously overestimating it.

A completely useless item!

Ye Feng curled his lip and continued examining the others.

The scratch-off tickets, stockings, lubricant…

None of these things were of any real use either.

Still, Ye Feng had no intention of throwing them away. His storage space was empty for now, so he might as well keep them there.

Perhaps they would come in handy someday?

After organizing the items he had obtained, Ye Feng glanced at the status panel.

[Bait]: 20 portions

“System, fish twenty more times!”

Ye Feng issued the command silently.

On the fishing platform, the rod swung through the air.

The hook flew into the endless darkness.
