Picking Up Attributes From Today

Chapter 34: Gold-Medal Fighters, Earning Money Like One Is Committing Robbery

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Ding! Redemption successful. Congratulations to the host for becoming a Fourth-Grade Magician!”

Wisps of magic power formed out of thin air and flooded Meng Lei’s body, making him feel extremely relaxed and comfortable. His mind became unprecedentedly clear and bright, his state of mind was full of vigor, and he was full of spirit!

It felt fantastic!

“Old bro, why is your face suddenly so rosy?”

Upon sensing Meng Lei’s transformation, Hart couldn’t help but look bewildered.

“Hehe, I thought of something happy!”

Meng Lei chuckled and checked his personal stats!

Wealth: 24,097 gold coins

Physical Body Constitution: Third-Grade Warrior (619/1,000)

Spirit: Fourth-Grade Magician (1,001/2,000)

Magic Power: Fourth-Grade Magician (1,001/2,000)

Both my spiritual power and magic power reserves have reached the Fourth-Grade Magician level. I need only to master fourth-grade spells, and I’ll become a real Fourth-Grade Magician!

It hasn’t even been five months since I came to this world, and I’ve already broken through to the Fourth-Grade Magician level! A cultivation speed like mine can probably be considered unprecedented, right?

Rather pleased with himself, Meng Lei was full of anticipation for the future!

However! My physical body constitution is lagging behind somewhat!

Physical body constitution!

This had always been Meng Lei’s strong suit and was also the attribute that was the easiest to pick up. However, Meng Lei had been staying inside the academy the whole time during the last three months. Thus, he rarely got to pick up physical body constitution light balls.

His physical body constitution had fallen behind just like that!

Looks like I have to head to places like the warrior academies, beast colosseums, and battle arenas more often when I have the time so that I can improve my physical body constitution as quickly as possible!

In Meng Lei’s considerations, the body had always been a human Magician’s weakness and was something that opponents easily took advantage of. In comparison, Dragon People Magicians that inherited the dragon race’s bloodline were much stronger!

As such, Dragon People Magicians held an overwhelming advantage among Magicians of the same grade. Meng Lei didn’t want to lose to those Dragon People of the same grade as him!

Thus, he needed to improve his physical body constitution as soon as possible!

“Damn! It’s my turn!”

Just as Meng Lei was quietly making his own plans, the little fatty suddenly let out a low howl and interrupted Meng Lei’s contemplation. It was now Hart’s turn to be assessed!

“Go, Fatty, you can do it!”

Meng Lei patted him on the shoulder and added with a smile, “If both of you can successfully pass the exam, it’ll be my treat tonight! Let’s go out of the school to have a good meal!”

“Okay!”

Hart nodded heavily and strode toward the teachers.

“Fatty, go for it!”

Daniel held his fists up and cheered for the little fatty.

The results of Hart’s assessment came out in no time.

His spiritual power had increased by 28 points, and he successfully passed the test!

His magic power reserves were comparable to a Third-Grade Magician’s, and he successfully passed the test!

During the spell release segment, Hart used three types of spells—Water Mirror, a water-elemental spell, Wind Guardian, a wind-elemental spell, and Giant Rock, an earth-elemental spell. These also successfully passed the test!

“Haha, I passed!”

Hart scurried over to Meng Lei, so excited that he was almost jumping up and down. He was simply too overwhelmed! One must know that as of now, he and Meng Lei were the only ones that had made the mark! How could he not be worked up?

“Impressive, kid!” praised Meng Lei, who was also very astonished. Then, he said, “You’ve actually reached Third-Grade Magician level for all your elements when you’re cultivating three types of elements at the same time? Aren’t you too good at pretending?”

The look in Meng Lei’s eyes was rather hostile. He felt like the little fatty had duped him!

“Hehe, how can I compare to you?”

Hart scratched his head and said, “I was initiated into magic at the age of 5, and it has already been close to two years since I had started to officially learn and study magic. I can’t compare to you at all, old bro!”

“...”

Meng Lei was rendered speechless. As expected, with comparison came frustration. Children from Magical Beast Village had to spend all the savings their families had just to take part in the magic assessment, yet Hart had already been initiated into magic at the age of 5. This was truly...

The mid-term examination was still ongoing!

In the next hour and a little more, the remaining students completed their assessment one after the other. However, the results were unpromising—including Meng Lei and Hart, only a measly seven people met the mark!

These seven people included Meng Lei, Hart, Daniel, Meng Lei’s housemate Abbe, Tanna Airam from the Frost Kingdom, a human commoner, and a Dragon Person commoner!

All of the other 42 people... were completely wiped out!

This outcome infuriated their head teacher, Dirk Norway, and he gave the whole class a terrible scolding. Even their senior and class guide, Jenny, wasn’t spared!

After the examination was over, Meng Lei, Hart, and Daniel went out of school together. They headed to the best restaurant nearby, intending to have a good celebration!

After the three of them got a private dining room, Meng Lei tossed the menu over to Hart and Daniel, and said with a smile, “Feel free to order whatever you’d like to eat. It’s my treat today!”

“Hehe, I know you’ve earned a big sum of money today, old bro, so we won’t stand on ceremony with you!

“We’ll start with a serving of Stir-Fried Golden-Armored Lizard Meat!”

“And a Poached Blood Mantis next!”

“Magical Whale Liver With Preserved Vegetables sounds pretty good too!”

“And this! Stir-Fried Ice Toad!”

“Spicy Jade-Heart Bird is my favorite!”

The corners of Meng Lei’s mouth spasmed non-stop upon hearing Hart’s and Daniel’s continuous food orders.

Damn you, a dish alone costs almost 100 gold coins. Are the two of you trying to bankrupt me?

However, what he had said, and the posturing that he had done, must be completed, even if he had to swallow his tears while doing it!

“Big Brother Colin, us brothers congratulate you for your 20 consecutive victories in the arena and successfully leveling up to a Silver-Medal Fighter!”

“Not at all, not at all. It’s all just luck! Luck, haha!”

“Say, Big Brother Colin, you’re already a Silver-Medal Fighter now, so your appearance fee must be very high, right?”

“It’s just ordinary! Just 10,000 gold coins per session!”

“10,000 gold coins per session?”

“Damn! Big Brother Colin, you’re seriously too impressive!”

“At this rate, with dozens of sessions more, the riches you accumulate will be enough for you to buy a plot of land and become an overlord yourself!”

“Hahaha, it’s all just luck...”

Sounds of conversation suddenly drifted over from the neighboring private room and attracted Meng Lei’s attention. He asked, “Silver-Medal Fighter?”

He had heard of the battle arena. Together with the beast colosseum, they were two of the capital city’s biggest entertainment spots. They were highly popular and received great support from the nobility and the wealthy. It was an activity similar to illegal underground fighting!

Fighters battled ferociously in the arena for customers’ viewing pleasure and betting. It was a kind of entertainment filled with blood and violence, and was passionate and feral!

Although the arena enjoyed extreme popularity in the Fire Dragon Kingdom and even the whole empire, as a decent and proper person, Meng Lei instinctively rejected something like that.

As such, he didn’t bother to understand how it worked.

However, what Meng Lei didn’t expect was that fighters could actually earn that much. A Silver-Medal Fighter’s appearance fee actually went as high as 10,000 gold coins!

,000 gold coins!

If he were to use that to redeem Stat Attribute Points, he could get a whole 1,000 points!

That was 1,000 Attribute Points into his account with just one session!

It was tons faster than picking up light balls and meditation!

“Even the amount of 10,000 gold coins is considered low!”

After Hart was done ordering, he said cheerfully, “What’s high is the Gold-Medal Fighters’ appearance fee! Which one of their appearance fees doesn’t start from tens of thousands of gold coins?”

“Is it that exaggerated?!”

Meng Lei’s eyes were already widened big and round!

“Every Gold-Medal Fighter is the arena’s goose that lays golden eggs. Their appearance fee isn’t something that a Silver-Medal Fighter’s can compare with!”

Daniel also added with a smile, “Each and every one of those fellows enjoy considerably high popularity and have an enormous fan base. Earning money is just like committing robbery for them!”

“So, there are groupies here too!”

“Groupies?”

“Nah, it’s nothing! Since it’s so easy for fighters to earn money, how does one become one?”
