[Ding! The gift package is opening... ]
[Congratulations to the host for gaining three levels' worth of cultivation upgrade XP...]
[Congratulations to the host for gaining 10 free bodily stats...]
[Congratulations to the host for gaining six special stat attributes...]
[Congratulations to the host for gaining the' Master Level ' Hand-to-Hand Combat Technique.]
As the system issued the items in the gift package, Ning Qi exclaimed at each product, as he didn't expect the rewards to be this rich.
The initial expectation for Ning Qi remains just a bit, which is enough to make his strength double what it is.
But from the looks of things, he may become tremendously more powerful than he expected.
Just the 10 bodily free stats will make him absurdly more powerful compared to others, not to mention the remaining rewards.
He even got special stats, which the system explained were unusually hard to obtain. Therefore, this gift package is 'one of the rare' as the system said.
Ning looked at the rewards that are available in his panel, couldn't wait anymore, and decided to utilize them one by one.
"System! Please increase my cultivation using the XP package." Ning Qi said slowly.
[Ding! The upgrade pack has been added to the host! Congratulations to the host for successfully upgrading your cultivation to level three.]
"System, open my panel."
Ning Qi urged, curious about what would happen to his stats after advancing three levels in cultivation.
[Personal stats:

"Hm! 600 extra points in health, exactly 200 points for every upgrade in level. My bodily stats increased only 1 point with every upgrade. "
Ning Qi examined his stats panel but found something very odd. Even though his stats increased a lot, he didn't even experience a bit of an upgrade on his body.
He didn't feel either a sense of discomfort or a sense of pleasantness as if he had suddenly gained strength out of nowhere.
"System! Why am I not experiencing anything? Have my stats increased or are they still in processing?"
Ning Qi asked, a bit confused.
[Ding! It's the unique function of the system that will remove all side effects when receiving a reward from the system.]
[The host doesn't need to worry about losing control of your newly gained power, as it has already been raised to a 'general' level, which the host can maintain for routine activities without damaging anything or yourself.]
[Any additional control of the power must be trained by the host, as the system is not responsible for it.]
Ning Qi saw a string of information from the system (not the familiar mechanical voice) and marveled at the "convenient" services it provides to its host.
"Well let's check the strength then!"
Ning Qi expressed his desire to see how much strength he gained from his newly added stats. His eyes looked around the room for an item that he could test his newly found strength on.
Soon! He discovered the culprit from last night laying in the bed right beside where he slept.
He stood up, walked to the other end of the bed, where the dumbbell lay, and bent down to pick it up.
He knew that with his newfound strength if he picked up the dumbbell aggressively, he would fall to his bottom for sure.
So, he slowly gripped it and lifted it until he stood upright. As he stood up, he exclaimed with surprise and ecstasy as he assessed the strength flowing in his hand.
"Hahaha! This dumbbell weighs around 6 kg, but I felt like I had lifted a dog bone toy, huh?"
Ning Qi laughed and at the same time was delighted with his strength, but he doesn't perceive what his exact strength is as of now.
Four points of strength are not the same as the strength of possessing four people, it's more explosive than four people working together as the strength in a single person is more concentrated than four people's distributed strength.
Ning Qi slowly placed the dumbbell down and wanted to check his speed, but decided against it, as there is no proper place here to test it properly.
He then focused on his intelligence and discovered that even after the points are over 4, he does not become as brilliant as he thought.
Regarding this section, he is still the same old same. Just above average, and has some experience in society at best. The only thing he experienced was that his mind was a bit more peaceful than usual.
"System! Can you explain what this intelligence stat is for? Why am I not feeling anything from it?"
Ning Qi asked to clear his doubts, as he wasn't interested in becoming some rare genius.
[Ding! The intelligence stat is more of a mental energy stat or a representation of the spiritual energy that one can hold.]
[Host! It will be useful in the future when the host acquires special skills that require mental or spiritual energy to use, and it will also aid in the defense of your soul against attacks. The greater your mental strength, the better prepared you will be for future battles.]
The system was explained slowly but mechanically.
As he listened to the system, Ning Qi pondered for a moment and decided to use the free body stats, as there wasn't going to be any backlash from the sudden increase in strength.
"System! Please add six stats to strength and the remaining four to agility."
Ning Qi commanded as he designed to add more points to his strength than agility. He doesn't grasp why, but he went with his usual intuition.
He also decided to not increase his intelligence stat as of now, as it isn't going to be helpful anytime soon.
[Ding! Six points are added to the strength and four points to the agility. Please check, host]
The system sounded back and also displayed the personal panel automatically.
[Name: Ning Qi

Ning Qi clenched his fist to assess his power and knew that he could easily punch a hole in the wall of his room.
After feeling good about himself for a while, he decided to deal with the remaining rewards all at once.
"ringggggggg.....ringggggggg....ringgggggg...ringgggggg"
Suddenly, his alarm started ringing, making Ning Qi startled. He quickly looked at the clock on his room wall and confirmed this dumb alarm is ringing at the correct time, as he set up daily reminders.
"Ah, Shit!! It's already 8:30 in the morning... I need to rush as soon as possible. "
This is his usual reminder to start going to work, by this time he should already be ready. But today, because of all this, he spent time without knowing how much time he spent.
Ning Qi decided to deal with other rewards later and rushed to the bathroom.
In just 15 minutes, he got ready and hurriedly wrote a note to old Li, telling him to fill the supplies in the fridge and hand the dustbin to municipal cleaning workers, who collect waste from this area daily.
Soon! He rushed to the shop, as there was going to be an important guest to receive today from the higher-ups.
