Mixed Blessing System

'It seems that my Physique is truly amazing!' Lothur thought about it in satisfaction, feeling the thrill of seeing his attributes increase so much all at once.

At the same time, he noticed that he had not jumped levels this time, but that did not bother him.

He, of course, would like to rise to the top of the world quickly if possible. But such a thing was merely a childish dream. He knew this and did not expect much progress after 'training' with Annaliese.

Lothur still did not know much about spiritual cultivation in this world. Still, he considered that at least his body should follow rules similar to those of bodies on Earth. That is, just as someone could not try to get the maximum weight of an exercise on his first day at the gym, someone here could not gain too much power at once.

He felt he needed to 'inflate' his power little by little to ensure foundations that could sustain his development in the future. And with this in mind, he had already considered the possibility that his Physique gave him limited advances within his body limits.

In this way, he was not unhappy about not reaching the 3rd Transformation.

However, when doing some quick math, he realized that his cultivation seemed to depend only on his physique attributes since there would be no point in his having advanced previously if mental values were considered.

After all, his values related to physical characteristics even now did not represent much of the total sum. Hell, even this current sum was no more significant than the value of his Intelligence, which had increased only once since his arrival in this world.

As such, mental attributes did not affect his cultivation level or have relevant weights in this calculation.

On the other hand, he realized that the average required for advancement from the 1st Transformation to the 2nd was lower than that from the 2nd to the 3rd.

'As expected, cultivation did not follow a linear progression...' He continued to stare at Viktoria's beautiful face as he thought about these things.

But with this woman's presence there, he did not continue thinking about that and soon left the matters related to cultivation aside.

"Viktoria... Where am I?" He felt an extremely comfortable sensation in his body, something his old bed had never offered him.

As he looked and felt the quality of the sheets around his body, he soon realized that this was not his room.

Hearing her husband's voice, Viktoria remained silent for a while as she looked at him, full of surprise in her eyes.

Viktoria saw the final part of his remarkable recovery, something she had never seen or heard in her life. And hearing him talking to her as if nothing had happened, this woman felt a great mystery surrounding Lothur, making her stay silent.

'How is this possible? I'm seeing him in front of me, but I can't believe what just happened!' She continued holding his neck as she looked at him closely.

Lothur noticed her gaze and then smiled. "If you want, we can kiss now..."

Her face flushed as she finally realized that she should not stare at him so closely and turned away from him.

"Dear, where are we? Is this your room? Did you bring me here?" He did not continue his earlier teasing, being more interested in knowing what had happened.

One moment he was 'training' with Annaliese, and then, he fainted due to Annaliese's blows and woke up in this cozy place.

More importantly, he felt that the look on Viktoria's face was a little different, which worried him. 'I wonder what happened? Did she notice my cultivation level?' He worried.

Lothur knew that his cultivation level would not remain a secret forever. Annaliese had already fought with him, and sooner or later, other people would find out. But he wanted to keep it a secret for as long as possible.

After all, his position in this family was not at all comfortable!

And as much as talents had opportunities regardless of where they were, Lothur preferred to be a talent with freedom and not one with responsibilities to this family.

What happened to talents in a situation like his? Well, they naturally became high-level pawns once they reached their potential.

But Lothur did not want something like that for himself!

That's why he was worried about Viktoria.

She then replied in a tone that did not sound like her at all due to the insecurity in her voice. "I brought you to my room after what happened between you and Annaliese."

His eyes sharpened as he heard that. "What exactly happened between Annaliese and me?"

"You don't remember?" Her mouth dropped open in surprise. "Annaliese almost killed you!"

"If I had arrived a few minutes later, you might have been killed!"

"What?" He surprisedly said, not expecting something like this, 'It's not possible!'

'She's saying this because I asked Annaliese to leave me in a deplorable state?'

But he ignored those thoughts for the moment and asked. "Where is Annaliese? By the way, I didn't expect anyone else to know about it, so how did you find out about it and even stop her?"

"Elise saw you taking your shirt off in front of Annaliese and came to tell me, thinking you were trying to get funny with my sister."

"Fortunately, that made me run to that place and stop her." She sighed as she remembered the scare from earlier and felt a little better now, knowing he was okay. "After that, Doctor Snee took care of you, and I brought you here."

"As for Annaliese, don't worry about her for the moment."

"I see..."

His eyes sparkled in interest, and he asked. "In fact, why am I here and not in my room?"

"That..." She looked at him carefully, hesitantly showing concern for him.

Viktoria already knew about this man's personality and understood that many men in this world would go into 'passion mode' if they knew that women cared or thought about them. But her thoughts were not romantic, and she did not want this person to misunderstand things.

"I don't know why my sister was so violent with you, but to make sure nothing else happens, I decided to bring you here, where I can easily keep an eye on you."

"Anyway, now that you have heard my answers, it is time for you to be honest with me, Lothur."

She then climbed into that bed, with him still lying, wrapped by her sheets, and she sat down next to his waist. "Lothur, how did you recover so quickly? That is already the second time this has happened. I will not accept your excuses this time!"

His pupils contracted tightly, and his heart began to beat faster.

He did not know what to say, but he felt that he definitely could not talk about the system's existence or his Physique.

He then tried to pretend that he had no idea about the origin of his miraculous recovery. "How am I supposed to know that, Viktoria?"

"You, who is such a strong and talented cultivator, can't understand that, so how will I?"

"Lothur..." She held one of his fists, trying to push him to speak.

"I've said that before. If you want to do something, go ahead. But don't come to me with these interrogations!"

She then tried to use her cultivation pressure to annoy Lothur. But unfortunately for her, this man felt no such influence.

'Damn it!'

'I can't feel anything special about his body!'

'What's wrong with him? If he had a special Physique, shouldn't I at least feel some sign?' She felt frustrated when she could not interrogate her incompetent husband.

But while thinking about these things, she suddenly leaned over the wet part of that bed, soaked by Lothur's sweat.

"That..."

"Tsk!"

But Lothur did not even notice the wetness on that bed and ignored the apparent irritation on her face, asking sincerely. "Did you feel something strange in my body? Perhaps there is some indication of what is happening to me?"

She looked at him thoughtfully, trying to find out if he was being honest or not. "I don't feel anything in your body. It is just like a few days ago."

'Oh? Then that's great!' He internally laughed but continued with a motionless expression on his face.

"If that's the case, then let's forget about it for the moment." He ran one of his hands toward Viktoria and said. "But since we're already here, why don't we get some more sleep?"

"That will be a great opportunity to improve our bonds as husband and wife..."
