Chapter 83
Chapter 83: Godly Advancement: Beyond Limits
Nine o’clock in the evening.
Wen Yu finally carried Fu Chengque downstairs.
Tired, really tired.
It wasn’t physical exhaustion. After the boost from the golden finger, carrying her for over twenty minutes was no big deal.
It was mental fatigue.
Fu Chengque wiped tears for a while, muttering incomprehensible words while crying.
Wen Yu knew her tears had nothing to do with frustration or setbacks, purely from drinking too much, so he let her mutter on. It just pained his ears. In the latter part of the journey, it felt like there was a huge mosquito buzzing around—
“…wuwulala, jiligu lu… huh? Hehe… we’re home…”
Oh hey! Understood!
Wen Yu exclaimed, “Yes, we’re here! Can you stand firm?”
By his ear, Fu Chengque hummed a few times.
Just as Wen Yu was about to gently put Fu Chengque down, unexpectedly, a reward prompt from the system suddenly sounded—
[Congratulations, task completed!]
[You have received rewards: Mathematics comprehension +20, Chinese comprehension +20, English comprehension +20, Integrated comprehension enhancement for other subjects +10, Learning speed within half a month +30%, Stamina recovery ability +4]
[Pulling random rewards for you…]
[Congratulations, you have gained a new ability: [Divine Advancement: Ascend Alone (Limited Time)]]
Task!
Completed!?
A new ability!!
Before he could react, Fu Chengque on his back suddenly exclaimed, startling him.
At this moment, footsteps came from behind. He turned around and saw the auntie living upstairs leading her little son past, smiling as she looked at him carrying Fu Chengque, her eyes clearly teasing.
They nodded to each other in greeting.
Fu Chengque buried her head for a while, waited for the neighbor to leave, then looked around.
Then she said, “Wen Yu, put me down quickly…”
Wen Yu hadn’t even started to loosen his grip when she struggled and climbed down herself, swaying a few steps before standing still.
Wen Yu turned to look at her, seeing her eyes were a bit clearer, seeming to have sobered up quite a bit, but her face was still flushed.
She twiddled with her clothes and said, “Thank you, President Wen! I… I’ll go back first!”
After speaking, she stopped swaying and went upstairs with steady steps.
This appearance almost made Wen Yu suspect whether she was pretending to be drunk just now?
***
On the other side.
Fu Chengque hurried back home.
As soon as she entered, she shouted, “Mom, Dad, I’m back! How long until dinner? I’ll wash my face and lie down for a bit.”
Mr. and Mrs. Fu were preparing dinner. Hearing their daughter’s voice, Mrs. Fu raised her voice and replied, “Huh? What’s wrong? Are you sick?”
“Not… just tired from playing today, hahaha, remember to call me for dinner!”
“This child… go ahead then.”
Fu Chengque hurried into the bathroom, pouring warm water over her face.
The hot water stimulated her slightly red face, creating a slight burning sensation. Fu Chengque gradually sobered up, and her rationality returned.
In the mirror reflected her flushed drunken face, even she couldn’t tell whether it was the dizziness after drinking or embarrassment.
She removed her makeup and wiped her body.
She tossed her alcohol-scented clothes into the washing machine and changed into casual frog pajamas before returning to her bedroom.
Without turning on the light, she lay there with her eyes closed.
Her face was calm, but her heart was in turmoil—
What a fool! What a fool!
Drinking causes trouble!
She was deceived by the physique enhanced by the golden finger!
She thought the more her physique was enhanced, the better her alcohol tolerance would be! Initially, it seemed fine, but after downing three cans in a row, she passed out completely.
It wasn’t until the appearance of the “reward prompt” from the golden finger that she suddenly “woke up,” and being seen by the neighbor lying on Wen Yu’s back made her blood boil, which gave her strength.
Although she could remember some things that happened during that time, her actions were no longer under her own control.
Did she do anything strange?
She must not have made any embarrassing noises…
Oh no oh no…
This is bad!
It seems like she was carried back by Wen Yu all the way!
Oh dear, she was so confused at that time, it seemed like she kept talking, did she say anything stupid?
Did she say anything shameful?
Wuwuwu, did she let slip about having the system to become Empress?
Ah ah ah!
Heaven, please let Wen Yu have amnesia!
Oh no, oh no!
The Empress image she had painstakingly maintained was ruined in one fell swoop today.
In that case, even if she became the unparalleled super Empress in the future, there would definitely be rumors and gossip spreading, right?
Even if she forcibly prohibited discussions on this matter, it would surely become “tabloid news” everywhere.
They would say things like “Empress Chengque has terrible alcohol tolerance, one time, she drank excessively and did something absurd…”.
And there would be claims like “Today’s Empress only rose to power through external means, her actual abilities are inferior to a dog’s! Truly disgraceful…”.
By then, it might spread and become: “Although Empress is stunningly beautiful, she ascended to her position through illegitimate means, and she once did such disgraceful things…!”
Wuwuwu!
Wow wow wow!
Don’t want to live anymore!
The blanket started to warm up, and this warmth briefly brought her some tranquility.
No, no, no—
Fu Chengque suddenly realized at this moment:
If it really leaked out, the task would probably fail directly!
But she completed the task today!
Completed! It!
After planning so hard before New Year’s Day, pretending to be sick, and trying to attract attention with little stories, all failed.
Unexpectedly, the way to complete it in the end was…
Talking intermittently for ten minutes on Wen Yu’s back!
Oh my, what did she say that she could talk for so long…
Fu Chengque was at a loss for words.
Too embarrassing.
Wuwuwu, in this case, today’s reward might have cost too much for Empress Chengque’s future reputation. Hopefully, it will turn out better.
With this in mind, Fu Chengque called out to the system to display its panel.
Math understanding +10, language understanding +10, English understanding +10…
These attribute rewards had all been added to herself, and the half-month learning bonus could help solidify her foundation for the upcoming final exams.
What she cared about most was the last [random reward].
It was at the bottom of the panel—
Character: Fu Chengque
Age: 17
***
Limited-time enhancement:
Learning speed +15% (Remaining time: 359h52m24s)
Special abilities:
[Cat Language of Cat]
[Godly Advancement: Beyond Limits]
Seeing the name, Fu Chengque’s heart trembled.
She hurriedly called out to the system, asking for an explanation. The system was quite cooperative at this time:
【[Godly Advancement: Beyond Limits]: After activating this skill, you can continuously gather the “power of belief” from a target, which can be converted into real-time enhancement of “whole-body reaction speed,” “memory enhancement ability,” or “body recovery speed,” with each 1 power of belief equal to 0.1 other attributes. The effect lasts for 3 days. Power of belief: After activating the skill, each time the target silently thinks of your name or strongly related title, you gain +1 power of belief. Can only be used once.】
“What… what is this?”
Fu Chengque, after reading the introduction, was bewildered.
