Ron looked at Lir, who was determined and lost in her fantasy while envisioning a bright future, and couldn't bear to interrupt her imagination.
He just told her that she could walk around freely on the ship now and that the door wouldn't be locked anymore, then left in a hurry.
After seeing Lir's small cabin and returning to his own room, Ron realized that his room was really quite large, and Christie was sitting on a chair waiting for him to come back.
Ron saw the neatly arranged and untouched food on the table and frowned slightly:
"Didn't I tell you to eat first? Why were you waiting for me?"
"As a wife, shouldn't I wait for my husband to come back to have dinner together?" Christie replied with a smile.
"You don't seem to understand my identity very well." Ron sat at the table: "I'm the one who married into the Moore family."
"What does it matter?" Christie wondered: "You are my husband! Don't you feel inferior! Then later, I'll help you regain your confidence!"
When Ron heard this, the corner of his right eyebrow twitched involuntarily.
"Eat first! I need to think about some things!"
Seeing Christie nod, Ron leaned back in the chair and began to close his eyes and rest.
These two days he felt that he was extremely busy. Not only did he have to deal with various matters in the Moore family, but also had to deal with Christie's seduction at all times. He almost had no time to think independently.
He didn't even have time to check the gains from killing Enke.
Now that he had some free rest time, Ron was ready to start planning for the future properly.
The first thing, of course, was to check the gains. During the duel with Enke that day, he used the [bet] skill. Because it was a kill, he got the maximum gain of 80% of the opponent's Qi Force.
"Enke's 80% Qi Force was only 100, and he was at the strength of the Silver rank fifth stage.
That means the Qi Force value of this stage is approximately around 25.
I also killed three members of the Duke's Knight Regiment and gained a total of 225 Qi Force.
Adding the 100 from Enke and the 267 I originally had, I now have a total of 592 Qi Force.
If we calculate the strength based on 25 for each stage, wouldn't I directly skip the Gold stage and reach the strength of the Master rank third stage?"
"It should be impossible. It's estimated that the Qi Force required for each stage of the Gold stage is not 25.
Even so, I should now have the strength of a Gold rank knight.
This can already be considered a strong one in Lane Town. After all, as far as he knows, there are no more than three Master rank knights in Lane Town, and basically, they never show up."
"It's just a pity that killing someone with Qi Force can only obtain Qi Force and not power.
Although the effect of Qi Force is much greater than power, what I need most now is to exchange power for Skill Point in order to unlock the second secondary talent."
Ron had already decided that based on the situation of going to the territory, the second secondary talent must have a reconnaissance function.
Before, he had been hesitating whether to choose the dagger or the bow and arrow for the second secondary talent because both the talents of these two weapons have similar reconnaissance skills.
And for the second secondary talent, although there are a total of four skills, only the first three skills can be activated, and the final ultimate skill cannot be activated.
For the third secondary talent, there are also four skills, but only the first two can be activated.
And so on. Starting from the fourth secondary talent, he can only activate the first skill.
That is to say, although he can learn countless secondary talents, in fact, only the first three secondary talents have multiple skills.
And for the first secondary talent, he has already chosen Sword Specialization. Therefore, for this second secondary talent, he must choose carefully.
After careful consideration, he finally chose the bow and arrow.
The first two skills of the Bow Mastery talent are very similar to Sword Specialization, both of which improve the level of archery.
One is [Super Bow and Arrow], and the other is [Eagle Eye Shooting].
These two skills are nothing special, but the third skill is remarkable.
[Eagle Eye Partner]: Trigger Skill
Eagles are the best friends of archers.
When an eagle-like animal appears near you, you can use Qi Force to summon a Qi Force eagle and endow the eagle-like animal with Qi Force to make it extraordinary and domesticate it to become your capable assistant.
It will follow your orders, conduct reconnaissance, attack, and deliver messages for you.
You can see what the eagle sees and hears through the eagle's eye view and calibrate the arrow path for your [Eagle Eye Shooting].
At the same time, the eagle-like animal will obtain corresponding skills due to the Qi Force attribute you bestow.
Each level up awakens one skill, up to 5.
Current level: lv0
"In this era where reconnaissance and communication are underdeveloped, this is simply a divine skill!" Ron couldn't help sighing.
"And the territory I'm going to also desperately needs reconnaissance methods. Since there aren't enough people, I can only use eagles for reconnaissance."
"But where can I get Skill Point?"
"Can't I just attack the people on the ship!"
"Absolutely not! Although these people won't stay in the territory, I still rely on them to unload the goods. If they lose their power, it won't do me any good."
"I can only think of a way later!"
"Now I still have to consider where to live after reaching the territory? Can't I really live in a tent in the wilderness with Christie!"
"The forest resources there are abundant. Then can I cut some wood to build a house?"
"It's feasible, but I don't have that much time. And wooden houses are not fire-resistant and have poor defense. If there are enemies attacking, I might be fine, but Christie will be in danger."
Thinking of this, Ron somewhat regretted bringing Christie along.
But he couldn't not bring her. Before confirming the relationship, he could not care about Christie's past because she wasn't his woman, it didn't matter.
But now that the relationship was confirmed, Christie was his woman. Leaving her in Lane Town, maybe she wouldn't be able to resist finding a bunch of random men again.
He would never allow his woman to cheat. This was the bottom line.
"What should I do? There's no way to obtain Skill Point, and there's no residence in the territory!"
"Alas..."
Just when Ron was in distress, Christie's call made him open his eyes.
"Ron, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"
Ron knew that every time he upgraded his talent, he would automatically enter a state of suspended animation. Therefore, he was not willing to upgrade his talent in front of others, especially in front of Christie.
Because this state of suspended animation didn't seem particularly special to him, but in the eyes of others, it felt like he was dead. This would worry those who truly cared about him.
Any man wouldn't want his family to worry about him. This was an instinct. In China, there was an ancient saying to record this instinct, called reporting only the good news and not the bad.
Ron naturally didn't want Christie to worry about him, but he had no choice. There were simply too many things accumulated that he had to deal with.
"It's nothing!" Ron replied with a smile: "I'm just a little tired and accidentally fell asleep."
Christie felt somewhat self-blaming: "Is it because of me that you feel so tired."
"How could it be!" Ron certainly knew what Christie meant. For the sake of a man's dignity, he said righteously:
"This amount of physical strength is nothing to me."
"Really?"
"More real than gold!"
"Well then!" Christie smirked: "Don't sleep tonight. If you're really tired, admit defeat to me. Otherwise, I won't let you off."
"Who's afraid of whom?" Ron patted his firm pectoral muscles and replied haughtily.
