Wizard starting from shoeing donkeys

Chapter 44: Chapter 43: The True Gain



"If it were to erupt immediately after the performance, that would be really interesting. If the enemy still has the strength for another round, it would be like entering a 'weak period' during battle, so the Blacksmith's Strength must be used with great care!"

Rein grimaced as he endured the soreness in his muscles and fascia, and climbed up with a grimace.

"However, could it be that after my Constitution enhances, the severity of these 'aftereffects' will decrease, or even eliminate them completely?"

This speculation suddenly occurred to Rein.

He was quite eager to try!

"But it's a pity that there is only 1 attribute point left, I have to save it. Otherwise, I could directly add the point to confirm my speculation, and at the same time, immediately relieve this muscle soreness."

Rein had always treated the remaining 1 attribute point as his 'trump card' to use.

Unless he obtains new attribute points, he would not consider using it.

After all, adding attribute points has a special effect of restoring the body's condition.

This is comparable to a 'divine technique' in battle!

After getting up, Rein unintentionally discovered in the bedroom mirror that his body had bulked up significantly.

He hadn't paid much attention before, but now that he took a closer look, he indeed had become much more robust.

Rein looked down and touched the linen corset he was wearing, only to find the previously loose clothing was now slightly tight, subtly outlining the contours of his upper body muscles.

Turning his gaze to his arms, Rein noticed that major muscle groups like the biceps and triceps had become significantly larger, bearing no resemblance to the bean sprout-like appearance when he had just crossed over to this world.

After some thought, Rein took off the rather tight linen corset and rummaged through the wardrobe to find a larger-sized one.

This one belonged to his father, the old Rein.

After changing clothes, Rein's physique was much more concealed, and his muscular contours were hardly noticeable.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Rein nodded in satisfaction.

When he reached the door frame, he sized up his height and realized that although the growth wasn't obvious, he had actually grown nearly half a pinky finger taller.

It was just that Rein's horizontal development was faster, which made it seem like he hadn't grown at all.

When Rein arrived on the first floor, he saw through the window that in their small courtyard, Anna was accompanying Bo He in planting winter rapeseed in a small patch of land.

Bo He was wearing a layered corset with a long light blue skirt resembling an apron over it.

This kind of tube-shaped, waistless long skirt hung on the shoulders with straps, looked like a modern apron from the front, and made Bo He look very cute in Rein's eyes.

Bo He asked, "Sister Anna, when can we harvest the winter rapeseed we planted?"

"Um... around the Month of Blooming Flowers, I guess?" Anna looked at Bo He with a smile, her eyes full of fondness.

"The Month of Blooming Flowers, ah, that's still three, four, five ... nearly five months away," Bo He counted on her fingers, sounding a bit disappointed.

However, Bo He soon pointed at the newly planted chives next to her and asked:

"Sister Anna, what about the chives we planted before? When can we harvest them?"

"These... can be harvested sooner, probably by the Month of Green Grass, we should be able to harvest them!" Anna said as she wiped a bit of mud from Bo He's face.

"That's great, that means we can harvest them after winter!" Bo He smiled, her eyes curving into crescent moons.

Seeing the warm scene outside the window, Rein felt as if a layer of fog had been lifted from his soul.

He remembered facing the ferocious werewolf the day before, whose menacing appearance, imposing stature, and bloodthirsty aura had brought a strong sense of oppression.

If at that time he hadn't held onto anything in his heart, his will would not have been so steadfast.

Then it's very likely that he would have dodged early on, hiding to the side without even the courage to swing his sword at the werewolf!

Such a person, even if he could become stronger by continuously adding attribute points, would merely possess a strong shell. When facing real crises, hardships, and formidable enemies, he wouldn't know how much of his fighting power he could actually utilize.

Suddenly, Rein, who had just come to his senses, received a system notification:

"Congratulations! You've experienced an epiphany, and your Spirit Attribute has been slightly increased!"

Rein was startled and immediately checked his attribute panel.

Sure enough, the Spirit Attribute had increased from the original 9 to 11, a full two points, thereby once again surpassing Strength to become the highest attribute.

When Rein looked up, he noticed that the way he perceived the objects around him seemed different.

He could faintly sense that outside his line of sight, there should be three birds chirping away on the oak tree by the front door, and in the corner crack of the kitchen wall, there seemed to be a mouse cautiously poking its head out.

This wasn't an enhancement of vision but more like a change in perception; his senses seemed to have become sharper!

Rein was somewhat astonished at the moment; he hadn't expected that his reflections and conclusions about battles and life would bring him such a surprise.

Perhaps this was the true reward hidden within battles!

As Rein basked in joy, his stomach suddenly let out a "gurgle gurgle" sound.

Only then did he remember that he had come downstairs to eat something.

A large piece of white bread weighing about a pound, a slice of cured meat, and an egg were the breakfast his mother had prepared for him in advance.

Obviously, this was an above-standard breakfast.

For the people of this world, breakfast wasn't considered a main meal, and generally, only laborers with strong physical demands would have a better breakfast.

The improvement in the meals at home had occurred after Rein had handed over two Gold Coins. Knowing that her child was about to join the Night Watchman, his mother had immediately raised the quality of the family's three meals a day by two levels.

After wolfing down the food in a few bites, Rein patted his still flat stomach and sighed.

"My appetite is definitely getting better!"

Speaking honestly, Rein was at most half-full right now. One reason was due to the rapid, intense spike in his physical constitution lately. The other was that he was in his growth phase, with his body eagerly needing nutrition.

"Looks like I'll need to go to the pie shop later and buy a few meat pies to fill me up."

At that moment, as if hearing the noise in the kitchen, Bo He ran in excitedly and said sweetly, "Brother, you're finally awake. Come and join us in planting the winter canola!"

"Yes!"

Seeing Bo He's smiling face, Rein couldn't help but step forward and pat her head, saying, "Bo He, you and Sister Anna continue planting. I have something to do outside."

"Okay~ Brother, come back soon." With that, Bo He bounced off to continue planting.

Anna, standing by the door frame, shyly glanced at Rein, nodded, and said, "Then... I'll go keep Bo He company."
