After Marrying a Vegetative Princess, I went crazy with joy! - Chapter 53

Chapter 53

For over ten consecutive days, the peace remained undisturbed. Su Li knew Li Er was monitoring him, making him realize something was amiss. Nevertheless, Princess Changle remained unconscious, and Li Er hadn’t uncovered the root cause.

Su Dingfang, Su Li’s elder brother, was visibly disheartened, a state that Su Li could understand. Ten small gift packs of attribute points appeared during these ten days, yet they contained nothing valuable – just odds and ends or exceedingly expensive items beyond his means. The packs granted him ten and 26 attribute points, which he invested in augmenting his strength and physique.

His strength and physical attributes stood at 138 each, a well-balanced state. Su Li believed his strength was approaching Xiang Yu’s, with his physique potentially surpassing Xiang Yu’s. He could engage in intense combat for two days and nights without much strain, and his recovery speed after non-fatal injuries was remarkably rapid, rendering him practically superhuman.

Nonetheless, becoming an ancestor of the Tang Dynasty was still a distant goal. As the attribute points continued to increase, Su Li sensed that 150 attribute points marked another threshold. Breaking through the 150-point threshold in physical strength might truly transform him into something non-human.

The outside world couldn’t interfere with Su Li, and the only thing that could interfere with Su Li was the loneliness his eldest brother put on his face. Su Li hoped he would find a remedy to revive Princess Changle swiftly, believing it would change everything. Additionally, he disliked seeing a young girl like Changle confined to bed, unconscious – such a condition was torment for her.

“System… do something, system…” Su Li murmured as he cradled Princess Changle in his arms, lying on the bed, and drifted asleep.

The following day…

The sun ascended as usual.

As usual, Su Li opened the system’s mall page reviewing the new offerings available for the day.

[Commodity 1: Attribute Detector (Use this instrument to check the specific attributes of the opponent, with additional detection effects, you can check the speed of the opponent’s points generation.) Value: 200,000 points!

Commodity 2: Three catties of chili (no spicy or not). Value: 1 point!

Commodity 3: Attribute point gift pack (open to get 1~3 free attribute points randomly) Value: 10,000 points.

Commodity 4: A set of Wallace jet package (if you are troubled by constipation, it is strongly recommended that you buy it to enjoy the thrill of rocket jet) Value: 1 point!

Commodity 5: Bodhi fruit (strengthen the body, see the gods, recover and heal all known injuries and conditions after taking it, and strengthen the soul. Provide a large number of free attributes and get extra talents! Remarks: Free attributes will be randomly assigned for non-host consumption, and additional talents will be randomly obtained.) Value: 2000000 points!

Available points: 718406]

Nice guy… Wallace Tang Dynasty branch, has the rocket jet business taken off in the Tang Dynasty? Su Li thought and was frustrated that the delivery had finally arrived today.

Su Li had always struggled with not being able to view other people’s attributes, leaving him unaware of the specific attribute differences. Thus, he had to rely on his own estimates, but now he had found an attribute detector in the system mall.

There was also a small gift pack for attributes containing chili. To be precise, chili seeds!

Since the sweet potatoes in his flower pots sprouted, Su Li realized that the dirt-cheap food available in the system mall could be grown if given a chance. He believed that trading 1 point for the freedom to cultivate peppers was incredibly valuable. If he were the system, he would consider this pepper worth an astonishing 100,000 points.

Su Li almost regretted not selling the sweet potatoes for a million points, recognizing the value of making three sales simultaneously. He glanced casually at the final product. Based on experience, if a product was displayed at the top, it would often be out of stock below.

Then it hit him… the medicine was out! There was a Bodhi fruit worth two million points! It claimed to heal all known injuries and diseases upon consumption. Essentially, if consumed, it could awaken Princess Changle from her slumber. And not only that, but it also granted additional attributes and new talent! Su Li could only confirm that the Bodhi fruit was worth its 2,000,000-point price tag.

Though Su Li could easily enhance his attributes thanks to the system, potentially even surpassing Xiang Yu in just three months, he knew that in the real world, innate attributes were determined at birth – what people called talent.

While constant exercise, proper diet, and diligent martial arts practice could improve performance, innate attributes usually set the upper limit for a person. Thanks to the system, Su Li’s attributes were automatically maximized without requiring physical training, and every attribute point was perfectly utilized.

However, raising their innate limits throughout their lives was daunting for others. While gaining many free attributes might not be a big deal for Su Li, it was like gaining supernatural powers in the Tang Dynasty. And the bonus of acquiring an extra talent was another incredible aspect. Curing Princess Changle’s illness seemed more like an added benefit.

Su Li was certain that if Princess Changle consumed the fruit, she would wake up shortly after that. Unfortunately, Su Li didn’t have enough points to afford it. After his recent spending spree, his accumulated points had dwindled from over 800,000 to just over 300,000.

Seventeen days had passed, and no valuable items appeared during this period. So, Su Li had been saving up his points. After spending 100,000 points on ten small gift packs containing attribute points, he still had over 700,000 points left.

However, buying the Bodhi fruit was still a distant goal. Given the current pace of earning around 30,000 points per day, he conservatively estimated that it would take over a month to accumulate enough points to purchase Bodhi fruit.

“I can only set it to permanently stay at the top for now,” Su Li murmured.

Deciding to acquire the permanent Bodhi fruit, ensuring it would not be randomly refreshed before purchase, Su Li also opted for the small gift pack of attribute points and the attribute detector.

The value of the small gift packs for attribute points was evident. They were a worthy investment. As for the attribute detector, Su Li had been using it for a while, making it a clear choice given his available points.

With the Bodhi fruit secured at the top, and the anticipation of Princess Changle’s eventual awakening, Su Li acknowledged that it was just a matter of a few sleepless nights.

But that’s alright, Su Li mused.

He saw the upcoming month as an opportunity for personal growth through the small gift packs’ attribute points. After all, when Princess Changle awakened, his unbridled progression might become problematic since he was just a stranger who suddenly appeared in her life.

Furthermore, once Changle was awake, a cascade of events would follow, pushing Su Li to the forefront. This period of personal improvement was among the few chances he would have.

“As for later items… I’ll purchase as many small gift packs with attribute points as possible. For items without self-enhancement effects, I’ll skip them and prioritize accumulating points for the Bodhi fruit. When to give Princess Changle the Bodhi fruit… I’ll decide when the time comes…” Su Li murmured, unwilling to see the young girl facing the abyss of darkness alone.
