Dawn of a New Era-Chapter 543 - 517: Gained Weight

Family members were absent, leaving the house cold and desolate; Chen Xingyue probably returned to school as well.

Chen Shouyi headed towards the bedroom on the second floor.

...

On the floor.

The Shell Lady was licking the divine blood in the spoon, looking drowsy, her face flushed.

At this moment, her ears twitched, her body trembled slightly, and she hurriedly dragged the spoon like a mouse quickly to the dark underside of the bed, her peripheral vision warily glancing at the doorway, relaxing completely only after Chen Shouyi entered and closed the door.

She continued licking the divine blood.

"Where’s the little girl gone?" Chen Shouyi feigned ignorance about the Shell Lady’s presence under the bed.

Upon hearing his voice, the Shell Lady snorted quietly, not wanting to pay heed to the silly giant, and continued to lick the divine blood joyfully.

"Naughty little girl, hiding where?" Chen Shouyi teased further.

This was intolerable; the Shell Lady stopped immediately, crawled out from under the bed, and exclaimed eagerly, "Good giant, I’m a good little girl, not a naughty one."

"Alright, alright, I misspoke; turns out you were hiding under the bed!"

Chen Shouyi laughed, bent down, picked up the Shell Lady, and gave her a kiss, finding her soft and chubby.

"Why does it seem she’s gotten much fatter!" Chen Shouyi thought to himself.

Her chubby cheeks had turned into round little cherries.

"Supplying her with unlimited divine blood, won’t she become a blob of flesh?" Chen Shouyi couldn’t help but worry; she rarely ate honey now. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Good giant, why are you staring at me?" The Shell Lady asked, puzzled.

"Have you gotten fatter?" Chen Shouyi said bluntly.

Unexpectedly, the Shell Lady just responded with an "Oh," without much reaction, her body wriggling continuously, "Good giant, let me down!"

Chen Shouyi released his hand, and as soon as the Shell Lady landed, she quickly scampered back under the bed to continue licking the divine blood.

Well, let her be chubby; she looks quite adorable anyway.

Chen Shouyi turned away, no longer concerning himself with her, and opened his attribute panel.

Strength: 19.3

Agility: 19.5

Constitution: 19.3

Intelligence: 19.6

Perception: 17.3

Willpower: 18.0

Energy Accumulation: 10.61

Faith Value: 1889.7

These days, not having much time to train, progress has been quite slow; compared to before going to the other world, only strength, willpower, and perception have increased by 0.1 point, which is better than nothing.

Additionally, tomorrow he would go to the Capital City to select a divine artifact, which would probably take another day.

Sigh, if this goes on, he’ll soon be overtaken by others.

He glanced at the faith value of 1889.7.

With a thought, he added eighteen hundred points to the Giant Battle Body.

The next moment...

"Boom!"

His body felt as if filled with scorching lava, his skin turned bright red, veins bulged, steam rose, emanating high temperatures.

...

Half a minute later, as the heat dissipated.

The former "Giant Battle Body (Advanced): 42.05%"

Had now changed to:

"Giant Battle Body (Advanced): 60.05%"

Chen Shouyi closed the attribute panel:

"Find a place to test it out!"

...

At the foot of the mountain, Chen Shouyi parked his bicycle, then thought better of it and placed the bicycle into the space.

Nowadays, there are too many thieves.

Such a new-looking bicycle, if left here, would surely be stolen without a trace left.

Even he had already lost several bicycles to theft.

His body darted into the forest like a shadow, in mere breaths, he reached the mountainside, where his body suddenly paused.

"Transform!"

With a thought, his clothes instantly burst apart.

Countless flesh appeared out of nowhere, growing spontaneously.

In a blink, a giant standing 6.5 meters tall appeared before him, significantly less intimidating than the thirty-meter giant, akin to a ten-story building, in the other world; on Earth, this ability was undoubtedly diminished.

Just the power difference was over a hundredfold.

Although the size and power couldn’t compare, it clearly was more agile.

Chen Shouyi glanced at the attribute panel, with only a reduction of 0.2 in agility.

The body’s agility was virtually unchanged from its untransformed state.

There was even an illusion of greater nimbleness.

"However, if facing the Sea God in this state..." Chen Shouyi simulated a battle in his mind, and his expression turned serious.

He realized he had absolutely no chance of winning.

But this was the Sea God from the other world.

If on Earth,

He didn’t know how much the Sea God could be weakened?

But the situation wouldn’t likely be optimistic.

Small creatures inherently have a disadvantage against larger ones.

No matter how nimble a cat is, it cannot contend with a wolf.

His height of 6.5 meters wanting to defeat a nearly thirty-meter-tall Sea God seemed a bit tight.

But...soon enough.

He looked at the attribute panel; within just half an hour, the faith value had returned to a hundred again.

He felt that in no more than a month, the advanced Giant Transformation’s evolution rate would reach one hundred percent.

...

The next day, Chen Shouyi was preparing to head out to the other world to train.

Bai Xiaoling came bustling over, panting heavily: "General Manager Chen, here’s the newspaper!"

She was wearing a dress with floral prints, exposing two clean and fair thighs, her chest heaving rapidly due to her swift running.

Recently, the weather has gotten increasingly hotter!

Chen Shouyi glanced at her in puzzlement and accepted the newspaper, still emitting the scent of ink, and upon reading the second headline on the front page:

"Shocking! It’s reported that the creator of the Chen Clan’s cultivation method, renowned Martial Arts Grandmaster General Manager Chen, intends to auction off a batch of demigod flesh soon!"

He read swiftly, scanning over the page, then glanced at the newspaper’s masthead.

It was Jiangnan Daily.

"You arranged this?" Chen Shouyi said in a daze.

This is official media, the paper circulated province-wide, surprisingly having such low standards.

"Yes, I contacted the provincial government, and they expressed strong support," Bai Xiaoling said.

"What about the auction house?" Chen Shouyi asked again.

"The auction house has been arranged too; it’s a large conference room for three thousand people," Bai Xiaoling said. "It should be spacious enough."

"Didn’t spend money, did you?"

"Didn’t spend a penny, all arranged by the province," Bai Xiaoling replied.

Chen Shouyi sighed; alas, this money is becoming increasingly difficult to spend, normally beyond buying bicycles or clothes, he really had no other expenditures.

"Good job."

"Actually, I didn’t do much," Bai Xiaoling said embarrassedly.

She just made a few phone calls, and the province handled everything.

At this moment, she remembered, "Right, General Manager Chen, you haven’t set a date yet."

Chen Shouyi thought for a moment and said, "No rush, in a few days I’ll pick an auspicious date!"

His purpose for the auction wasn’t money, but influence, for faith values.

Money-making was merely incidental.

He wasn’t interested in money at all!

Of course, the longer the atmosphere is cultivated, the more people who know, the better.

Wait until they are impatient, until they’re about to cuss out, then release it, not a moment sooner.

Bai Xiaoling beside him looked bewildered; it’s just an auction, not a wedding, does it really need an auspicious date?

Not just any date would do!

...

ps: I know everyone doesn’t believe, but I really have many relatives, the second update will probably be around eleven o’clock.
