After they put on the gear, it was time to embed the attribute gems. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.

In the group, Tang Muxin, Li Nianwei, and Lucifer did not have combat professions, so for the three of them, Hong Dali gave them nothing but energy gems—they each had twenty. Each energy gem would increase their energy by fifty percent. He had no idea what effect that would have when they learned new skills and abilities, but he was squandering. It did not make a difference to him if he used one or ten. He would just use as many as he had. There was no need for explanations!

The rest were all given gems that added fourteen to attributes. With twenty gems each, coupled with their own attributes and Dali's lackey halo, lackeys with all attributes of more than five hundred points were born. Levis' basic attributes were raised to more than six hundred. If he further increased it to seven hundred percent…

When they mastered the martial arts secret manual, their attributes would be shockingly high…

"Not bad, not bad." Hong Dali was quite satisfied with the results. He grinned and nodded. "Okay, let's just wear these first and change when we have better ones."

"Understood!" Everyone laughed and agreed. They prepared to return to their rooms to train—everything that happened previously had affected them deeply and they all felt the looming danger. They had to train. Lackeys who could not help their masters were definitely not qualified lackeys!

"All right, I'll just embed the rest randomly. Bring them to the Star Harbor shop tomorrow and sell them for one thousand Galaxy Dollars each." This was Hong Dali's instruction for the remaining high-level items.

Tang Muxin: "…" Li Nianwei: "…" Ling Xiaoyi: "…" Lucifer: "…" The others: "…"

And so, they all returned to their own rooms to do their own things.

When Hong Dali returned to his room, the System sounded in his head. "Ding"—

"Hidden Task (First level): For companions. Task completed. Increase all team members' attributes to three hundred or energy to five hundred. Task reward: Second Gear. Second Gear explanation: By subtracting thirty points from health, it increases all attributes of the host by 1000%. Duration: 30 minutes. Active skill. The health points that are subtracted can be replenished with attribute points earned from squandering.

Wahahahaha! I finally have a Second Gear!

A controllable active berserker skill, fantastic!

The System continued—

"Hidden Task (Second level): Guardian Heart. Mission explanation: For the glory of mankind, the host has decided to continue to become stronger. Mission Requirement: Add skills. All team members need to learn a high-level skill, or to fuse with a soul stone and become an energy user. Mission Reward: Third Gear. Third Gear explanation: In order to protect the lives of teammates and other human beings, the host can sacrifice forty-nine points of health and temporarily master a type of mysterious power that exists in the universe. Duration: 30 minutes. Additional explanation: Active skill. The consumed health attribute points can be replenished with attribute points earned from squandering.

Damn! Third Gear!

This…

Hong Dali was transfixed—this task was necessary! Hahahaha!

…

Jiang Family Estate.

Jiang Qianxue laid on the bed looking at the ceiling.

Her mind was in a mess. What happened today affected her deeply. It was not really her fault. After all, idolizing a hero was something every young girl was prone to do. The only difference was whether the hero was stronger or weaker.

It was obvious to Jiang Qianxue, who had led a privileged life, how hard the Tower of Trials was.

She could be considered a talent when it came to learning martial arts, and yet she had only managed to get past level nineteen despite having already tried her best.

However, that super genius actually managed to get past level thirty! How big was the disparity in their abilities?! How profoundly thrilling?! What did this super-genius look like?

Jiang Qianxue did not know. All she knew was that her heart was beating fast.

Very, very fast.

She did not know what she should do next. To be honest, she really wanted to go and look for the godly genius. She knew that the Galaxy Aristocrats, especially the women, were not allowed to fall in love with men outside their tribe, but she kept telling herself, if she could just see the super genius once, she would be contented. As for developing feelings for each other, she dared not expect too much.

The Galaxy Aristocrats were born highly respected, but they still had problems that could not be solved.

In the past, Jiang Qianxue was not really proud of her identity as a Galaxy Aristocrat, but at least she felt it was not too bad.

Now, she felt that this identity might not be so good…

"What should I do…"Jiang Qianxue muttered as she laid on the bed staring at the ceiling. "What should I do… next? I want to look for him, but where should I go to look? I do not even have anyone to confide my thoughts to…"

She really wanted to confide in someone, but as a Galaxy Aristocrat, the only people she knew other than her parents were the guards.

Talking to her parents about such secrets? They would definitely be against it. Telling the guards about it was also out of the question.

Yin Tianzong? That good-for-nothing?

Perhaps he was the only one she could tell…

Jiang Qianxue hesitated for a long while before she took out her communicator and called Yin Tianzong. "Tianzong, what are you doing? I… have something to talk to you about…"

"Little brother Dali gave me a Heavenly Frost Sword. Hehe, it's the best weapon from level nineteen, isn't it powerful?" Yin Tianzong did not detect the hidden meaning in Jiang Qianxue's words. He continued to be happily absorbed in himself. "My little brother Dali is really powerful. He got past level nineteen without much effort. No wonder your family agreed to take him in as an Honorary Aristocrat."

This bastard…

"Tianzong, I think, I…" Jiang Qianxue thought about it for a while and hesitated, then she bit her lip and said, "I think I like the godly genius. What… what should I do?"

"Ah? You like Brother Genius?" Yin Tianzong did not seem to find anything wrong with that. "I like him too! When I meet him, I intend to make him my big brother!"

Was he an idiot?! They were talking about totally different types of "like"!

"You big idiot!" Jiang Qianxue gritted her teeth. "The 'like' I'm talking about means that I might… fall in love with him. Do you understand?"

"Damn!" Yin Tianzong cursed. "Qianxue, you cannot abandon me! We grew up together and although you bully me all the time, you can't just abandon me and like someone else! However, if it's Brother Genius, I guess it's still acceptable…"

"That's all you have to say?" Jiang Qianxue was momentarily stunned. "That means you are not against it?"

"Of course not. What is there for me to be against?" Yin Tianzong said, unaffected. "I know you have never liked me since we were young. Unless I made that bet, you would not have married me. I know that at least!"

"Why do you pester me every day, then?" Jiang Qianxue asked curiously.

"That's obvious. Who else will I pester if not you?" Yin Tianzong said matter-of-factly. "Although you do not like me, I have no choice. We are Galaxy Aristocrats, and although we are highly respected, we have no friends. Other than my parents and your parents, my grandparents and your grandparents, I do not know anyone else. There isn't even anyone to talk to! The idiots on our home planet do not like me and say that I am stupid. Who else will I look for if not you?"

After Jiang Qianxue heard his answer, she could only agree.

To be honest, the Galaxy Aristocrats seemed very impressive on the surface but were actually very lonely. They did not have many friends as most people barely dared to talk to them, much less joke with them.

Hong Dali was probably the only idiot who had the guts…

Eh? Hong Dali?

Speaking of which, he seemed to be the only friend she could talk to?

With that thought, Jiang Qianxue immediately said, "Okay, since it's like that, I will look for Hong Dali for a chat instead. You go do whatever you were doing."

"Look for my little brother Dali?" Yin Tianzong's image stroked his chin and nodded. "That's not a bad idea. This brother of mine is cheery all the time. Chatting with him will make you feel better!"

"Okay, bye then."

After she terminated the communication with Yin Tianzong, Jiang Qianxue stayed immersed in her own thoughts for a while, then decisively called Hong Dali.

The call was soon connected.

Hong Dali was in sleepwear, drooling and rubbing his eyes. "It's Qianxue. It's so late, you are not asleep yet?"

"I… I would like to chat with you." Jiang Qianxue blushed. "Is it convenient?"

"Okay, I guess." Hong Dali yawned. "You come here or I go there? If you are coming, I am in your room at Brent Revolving Restaurant. If I go… I think you better come, I'm terrible at directions."

"Okay, wait for me. I'll be there in a while," Jiang Qianxue said, then hung up.

…

Fifteen minutes later, Brent Revolving Restaurant.

In a quiet corner.

A total of eight elf servers waited respectfully at one side of the room. They did not even dare to breathe too loudly.

After all, it was a Galaxy Aristocrat sitting there, drinking and chatting. It was a very important person with absolute power. If they did not serve her properly, they might lose their lives.

Jiang Qianxue sat on the seat, her face red. She looked very uncomfortable and her hands kept fiddling with the corners of her clothing. This Jiang Qianxue no longer had the cool arrogance she had previously. Right now, she was jumpy like any other young girl who had just fallen in love. To her, it felt like the entire world was looking at her.

"You… you don't have to be here." Jiang Qianxue motioned the eight female servers away. "I will call for you if you are needed!"

"Yes!" The eight female servers hurriedly excused themselves as if they had received a pardon.

They only dared to whisper softly to each other after they had all left the room. "Look at Miss Qianxue's expression, do you think she's in love?""I think so. Look at her face, it's all pink. That is the color of first love!""Yes, I wonder who is the lucky man who has managed to successfully woo Miss Qianxue. She is so pretty, ordinary men do not deserve her.""That's true, that's true. I wonder who is the lucky man?"

Of course, Jiang Qianxue could not hear their whispered conversations. When everyone was gone, she finally began to feel less tense.
