Chapter 001: Useless Attribute Panel
On a rural-urban bus heading to the suburbs, Chen Jue was looking at the green rice fields that were receding on both sides of the road.
There are flat rice fields, gurgling streams, spacious asphalt roads, and occasionally a row of newly built houses with yellow walls located on the side of the road. It must be a new village of immigrants that have just moved out from some mountain valley.
The economy in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is developed, and the construction of new rural areas is in full swing. There are also supporting charging stations and basketball courts, and the environment looks not much worse than that of urban communities.
The ultimate reason is that housing prices in cities are too high. Most people from rural areas cannot afford to buy properties in cities, so they can only find ways to build similar community houses in the suburbs to pass on to the next generation.
However, Chen Jue only glanced at these scenes. After the novelty wore off, he began to study the attribute panel in his mind that had just awakened less than three days ago:
Name: Chen Jue
Age: 27
Strength: 0.83
Agility: 0.74
Intelligence: 1.22
Constitution: 0.98
Allocable attribute points: 0.05
(Reference: The average attribute value of a standard adult male is 1 point.)
The above is all the content of the entire attribute panel. The content is extremely brief, but it just happens to show Chen Jue’s overall physical fitness.
"So what if I just awakened a system panel that was poorly described in novels?"
"This is the real world, there is no supernatural power..." Chen Jue laughed at himself.
When he first got this panel, he was extremely excited, thinking that his miserable life was finally over.
But after three days, Chen Jue's life did not change much, and his excitement about this attribute panel decreased a lot.
…
The rural-urban bus stopped and went, and finally stopped at a place called Panlong Town, where Chen Jue grew up.
After leaving my hometown and working outside for more than ten years, I finally returned to the hometown that is deeply rooted in my memory.
However, his hometown is not in Panlong Town, but in Chen Village, several kilometers away from here.
After getting off the car, dragging a large box of luggage, Chen Jue stopped a seven-seater van at the entrance of the town.
Panlong Town has eight villages under its jurisdiction, most of which are located in valleys. They seem very close, but walking on them can cause blisters on your toes.
Therefore, there are always several vans waiting to pick up passengers at the bus stop at the entrance of the town.
When Chen Jue was a child, he rode a diesel tricycle, which was a pedal rickshaw with a diesel engine. However, that thing floated a lot when running and had the risk of overturning, so it was completely banned a few years ago.
After agreeing on a price of 7 yuan per trip, Chen Jue got on the car with his luggage. The driver was a little old man in his fifties or sixties. His slightly familiar face showed that he had obviously ridden his tricycle before. However, this time he had upgraded his weapon to a four-wheeled one.
As for the carriage, in addition to him, the young man with the luggage, there were two old ladies in their seventies or eighties, dressed simply and holding plastic bags of medicine in their hands. They must have just come out of the town's health center together.
After chatting with the driver about the changes in Panlong Town in recent years and chatting with the two old ladies , Chen Jue watched the scenery outside the window receding.
The asphalt road in the town was replaced by a dilapidated concrete mountain road. The small van made many twists and turns and took Chen Jue to his hometown in Chencun in less than 20 minutes.
After scanning a code and paying 7 yuan, Chen Jue got off the car. Looking at this sparsely populated rural area, he couldn't help but sigh at the passing of time and the changes of years.
Once upon a time, Chen Village was a well-known village with a large population in the surrounding area.
Most of the more than 200 registered households in the village have now moved to the new immigrant village beside the national highway.
A small number of wealthy people have settled in the city, and those left behind in the village are either elderly people, those with illnesses, or those from poor families.
Seeing Chen Jue getting off the van, several old men who were sitting and chatting in the store at the entrance of the village cast puzzled looks at him.
" Young man , whose child are you?"
"I'm old now, my eyesight isn't clear, I can't recognize it anymore!"
When several old men asked about it, Chen Jue did not hide it and said directly that he was Chen Yan's grandson. Only then did these old men show a look of sudden enlightenment.
"Hey! It's Chen Yan's grandson! He's grown so big!"
"Are you coming back to play during the school break?"
"I haven't seen him for several years!" Several old men sighed when asked.
Chen Jue chatted with a few elderly people, and then asked for an address and phone number from a store at the entrance of the village as the default delivery address for express delivery. Then he dragged his luggage back to his village house.
The house is two cement bungalows, with two floors, covering a total area of more than 140 square meters. The main structure is more than 40 years old.
It was renovated ten years ago. The outside of the house was painted white, the inside was tiled, the second floor was covered with wooden floors, the doors and windows are made of aluminum alloy and stainless steel, and the room is equipped with water, electricity, internet, air conditioning, and a gas stove.
However, since no one had lived in the house for many years, a thick layer of dust had accumulated in the house.
Chen Jue found the key from his backpack and opened the door. He first opened all the windows upstairs and downstairs in the house for ventilation, then picked up a plastic broom, bucket and rag and started cleaning.
It took more than four hours to clean the house inside and out.
As for the sofas and mattresses, although they were covered with a layer of plastic, after a few years, the linings inside had become damp and moldy. Chen Jue had no choice but to take them apart and wash and dry them all.
"Looks like I'll have to sleep on a hard bed tonight!"
Chen Jue wiped the sweat off his body and took another look at the attribute panel.
Originally there were only 0.05 distributable free attribute points, but this time it has become 0.06, 0.01 more than before. Chen Jue knew that this was the result of hard work.
After awakening this attribute panel, Chen Jue tried countless ways to exchange for these free attribute points.
Finally, I found that as long as you do any work that makes your body feel tired, or do some deep exercise, you can accumulate attribute points.
Although you can only get 0.01 points at a time, after three days, you can accumulate enough points to reach 0.06.
"How about adding a little bit?"
After finding a small stool to sit on and rest for a while, Chen Jue opened a bottle of mineral water and started drinking it.
His current attribute values, except for intelligence which is slightly higher than that of a standard adult male, are all less than 1 point.
According to Chen Jue's guess, it was because of sitting in the office for a long time and eating and drinking all day long, which led to a lack of exercise and caused a decline in physical fitness.
However, the hard work over the past few days has slightly improved my strength, agility and physical fitness.
"Why not improve your physical fitness first!"
"Constitution attributes can affect physical health, improve physical activity, enhance recovery, and resist fatigue and impact. I feel a little tired after cleaning, so I'll try adding some constitution."
Chen Jue focused on the physical attribute of 0.98, and then mobilized the free attribute value, adding all 0.06 points.
"Constitution: 0.98 increased to 1.04"
A prompt flashed by, and Chen Jue only felt a burst of heat in his body. His originally tired and sore limbs began to relax, and even his breathing became much steadier.
