The heroines want to talk

I can't even compare to a sunflower.

It's really touching.

He took another look at the most eye-catching thing in the courtyard...it was a very huge cherry tree.

Now the flowers are blooming brilliantly, even a little enchantingly. When the breeze blows, a few red cherry blossoms fall down, which are more colorful than the cherry blossoms I have seen before.

The red one is a bit scary.

Xia Shi suddenly remembered what he had seen and heard in the past few days. Many villagers in the village were very superstitious about this cherry tree, saying that it was a demon cherry tree that would bloom twice a year.

Xia Shi was a little worried about this at first, but after he tried to use the [Catalysis] power on the cherry tree and found that it could be used normally, he breathed a sigh of relief. The fact that the purple-quality power could take effect meant that the tree's ability was not strong.

Unlike it, golden quality flowers cannot be ripened.

Even a weak and helpless sunflower is no match for this cherry blossom. No matter how magical it is, it will wither and die in a few decades.

Think for a moment.

Xia Shi put these thoughts aside.

He sat on the stone bench in the yard, quietly waiting for his body to absorb the divine energy. After a week, the improvement of super adaptation was almost over. At the same time, the skill was hovering around the second level, and the two were not far apart.

[Ding... Your physical attributes are breaking through...]

After a while...

【Breakthrough successful.】

After the improvement brought by super-adaptation ended, Xia Shi closed his eyes again, just like last time, with no particularly big reaction.

A few minutes later.

[Ding... Your technique has successfully broken through the second level...]

Chapter 181 Frog Diving

My luck seems to be pretty good?

After extracting the expertise, Xia Shi came to this conclusion.

As expected, I was only unlucky in games, but my luck in real life was still pretty good.

Xia Shi understood that when an attribute exceeds the limits of human beings, it would awaken a special ability called expertise.

I have my own system that allows me to choose one of the three. If there are other extraordinary people, they will probably awaken randomly?

Do you have to draw cards to become an immortal? If that's the case, it's too miserable.

After a closer look, all three specialties are pretty good.

After thinking for a while, Xia Shi was the first to give up on [Brilliant]. Rarity was one reason, and the introduction was too vague. How much would it increase? He had no idea. If the bonus was extremely low, then it would be a disaster.

The second one to be abandoned was [Analogy], which gave fixed attribute values ​​and a small amount of growth. It could be seen as a strong skill in the early and middle stages, but it was hard to say whether it would still work later. I checked the mysterious perception which was said to be a rare attribute. The introduction said it could better experience the majesty of the gods, but it was a trap at first glance.

Even if there were no pitfalls, Xia Shi would not choose it.

Compared with such short-term gains, Xia Shi prefers long-term investments like [Transcendence]. The previous enhancements in destructive power and lethality can be ignored. The main thing is the third attribute, which doubles the experience increase and increases all attributes. No matter how you think about it, you will not lose.

After choosing his specialty, Xia Shi felt his mind go blank and he was in a daze. He didn't know how much time had passed. When he opened his eyes again, it was already evening.

“…Three hours?”

probably.

Xia Shi stood up and moved around a few times, but he still hadn't recovered.

The system prompt came again.

Then he remembered that he still had one physical attribute that had not been improved.

[Your physical attributes have broken through the extraordinary limit...]

[Extracting expertise for you...]

[You can choose one of the following three options——]

【Strong body (general): ...】

【Well-trained (general): ……】

[Fountain of Life (Super Rare): Vitality is greatly increased, and the recovery speed will be 1000% when dying. (The offspring of creatures with this specialty have a chance to obtain extraordinary inheritance)]

"...How miserable!" Xia Shi walked towards the next house with a look of despair on his face.

Is there any option?

Lying on the bed, Xia Shi closed his eyes.

----

After the daily routine was fixed, time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Xia Shi had spent three months in the country of Xie Shi.

The busy spring season is over, and Xia Shi can finally relax a little.

My restless heart gradually calmed down.

After practicing sword swinging for three months, he has recently been able to barely reach the completion requirements given by the system. Although the completion level has just reached the passing line, Xia Shi is very pleased to finally see the hope of being unblocked.

It's not that he can't accept his own failure, but that he can't accept failure after all his efforts.

The two are not quite the same.

Xia Shi had never experienced the despair of trying one's best but still failing, and he didn't want to experience that kind of despair.

Walking in the fields, the seedlings planted in spring have become lush and green in early summer, and the sound of frogs can be heard constantly.

When a few frogs saw Xia Shi, they suddenly jumped from the roadside into the water.

"Into the old pond, frogs jump, and the sound is clear." Xia Shi tries to understand the beauty of haiku, this is Matsuo Basho's "Frog".

After a few seconds, he gave up.

A frog is just a frog, he probably can't understand the beauty in it.

"Why do I always reminisce about the past lately? It turns out I have too much free time." Xia Shi murmured.

I have been in this world for quite some time, and I am beginning to feel nostalgic.

Most of them are about Eriri and her mother, and a small part is about Minister Yukinoshita.

Cultural festival is almost becoming a distant word.

While walking in the fields, Xia Shi greeted several villagers he met and walked past them with a smile.

After several months of getting along, Xia Shi has become familiar with them.

The villagers also began to treat him with a bit of awe, no longer as casually as they had at the beginning.

Some of his abilities were probably no different from miracles in their eyes, and the identity he had wanted to establish was now firmly established.

The Xieshi Country is called a country, but in fact it is only the size of a few villages.

Although the place is not big, Xia Shi is still very afraid of the power of the gods, because this flat land is a miracle brought down by the god named Suwa Myojin.

Being able to control the earth is terrifying enough.

“Qua~~~”

Suddenly, a strange frog stopped in front of Xia Shi.

It’s not that strange, it’s just that the eyes are a little bigger.

There are frogs that are not afraid of people...

This is incredible.

He had been walking around the fields for a long time, from spring to summer, but this was the first time he had seen this kind of frog.

"Quack~" The little frog tilted its head.

"I don't understand what you are saying." Xia Shi was a little helpless.

After he said that, he walked past the big-eyed frog, thinking about going home quickly.

I haven't practiced sword yet today.

If you don't work hard when you are young, you will regret it when you are old. I didn't make any progress in the first two months. Now I need to work harder every day.

He once joked with Aikawa, saying that the sword masters in ancient times could chop down swallows in the sky. He never expected that his words would come true, and he actually came to ancient times to practice swordsmanship.

"Although I'm practicing fencing," Xia Shi complained in his heart.

"Quack~"

Frogs croaked behind me.

Xia Shi ignored its thoughts.

Follow me home if you dare!

then……

ten minutes later.

In the independent courtyard.

Under the cherry tree... one person, one frog, one tree, one flower, the scene became quiet.

"...From now on, I'll call you Frog!" Xia Shi pointed at the little frog with its head tilted on the ground and announced its new name loudly.

"Once it enters my yard, it becomes my personal property."

Hehe ~

Xia Shi slowly picked up the frog from the ground.

His childhood dream was to raise a frog, but unfortunately his mother rejected him.

I never thought that I would one day fulfill my childhood dream!

"Please stay with me for the next few days!" Xia Shi touched its head.

Frog frowned, if it had eyebrows.

"You don't dislike this name, do you?" Xia Shi said unhappily, "No one has ever been able to reject the name I gave you! Woman! Whose love do you think you are accepting? The love of a god!"

"Qua~"

Xia Shi looked at him for a moment and found that he was despised by the other party.

It’s been too long since I last saw a beautiful girl.

No matter how I look at it, a frog always looks pretty.

"Forget it, if you don't like it then don't like it. It doesn't stop me from calling you that." Xia Shi put it on the ground.

"Quack~" the little frog blinked.

This human is so interesting!
