After a series of experintal attempts, Qin Ming finally figured out the purpose of the Golden Plot Attribute Point after much trial and error.
This thing is used to upgrade stuff!
That's right! The Golden Attribute Point worked similarly to Qin Ming's innate Fusion Reinforcent Skill, but there were critical differences.
Qin Ming's Fusion Reinforcent enhanced an object's attributes and quality significantly while keeping its core functions intact. The final product was essentially the sa item—just supercharged.
But the Golden Plot Attribute Point was different. It didn't just enhance—it evolved.
It could evolve equipnt, skills, and even titles!
Everything except the adventurer themselves could be evolved by this golden point.
The catch? Evolution was entirely random.
Unlike his fusion skill, which provided options and directional control, the Golden Attribute Point was pure chaos.
It promised improvent but not certainty. The result could be incredibly powerful... or a useless ss.
Skills? Definitely not. My current skills are perfectly synergized. If one of them mutates in the wrong direction, my entire combat strategy could fall apart.
Equipnt? No way. Most of my current gear is temporary. Why waste a precious resource on gear I'll replace soon anyway?
The handgun? Don't even think about it. That thing's perfect as it is—what if the upgrade ruins it?
The only thing worth gambling on was...
The title.
With a flicker of golden light, the Golden Plot Attribute Point fused with the Five Tiger General title.
Qin Ming clasped his hands together, silently praying.
Please don't ss this up... The title only has two effects: aligning with the protagonist faction and increasing initial goodwill. No matter how it mutates, it shouldn't stray too far from those functions... right?
As Qin Ming's anxious gaze fixated on the glowing title, the golden light finally subsided, and a new title erged in his vision.
The upgrade was complete.
The effects left Qin Ming montarily speechless, unable to decide whether this was a blessing or a curse.
Title: Tiger-Subduing General (Silver Quality)
Effect: Upon entering a mission world, automatically join the protagonist faction, and randomly select one female character whose goodwill towards you will imdiately reach 500.
Description: Subdue the dragon, ta the tiger—all in this very mont! Lady Tiger, co assist in my cultivation!
Sitting on his bed, stroking his chin, Qin Ming stared at his new title with a deeply conflicted expression.
Starting with one female ally at maximum goodwill... That's undeniably powerful.
And this is just a silver-tier title. If I upgrade it to gold soday, what happens? Do I spawn in with a wife?
But wait... If I have a "wife," what happens to her original husband? Do I get an extra enemy as part of the deal? What's next—a kid too? What kind of plotline is this?
What kind of bizarre romance-drama power fantasy have I walked into?!
As Qin Ming was caught in a spiral of existential dread over his upgraded title, the doorbell suddenly rang.
He didn't need to check to know who it was.
When he opened the door, sure enough, Double-Gun Lady was standing there, leaning casually against the wall with her arms crossed.
Her appearance was as effortlessly cool as ever.
It's hard to imagine that soone this composed could start machine-gun begging for rcy the mont she loses a fight.
Having successfully leveled up to a Mid-Level Adventurer, Double-Gun Lady was practically glowing with confidence. She raised an eyebrow at Qin Ming.
"Yo! Busy, little bro?"
"Geez, when you needed , it was all 'big bro this, big bro that.' Now that the mission's over, I've been demoted to 'little bro'?"
"Well, duh. When I couldn't beat you, I was this close to calling you 'daddy.' Why didn't you bring that up?"
Brushing past him, she casually strolled into the room.
Glancing around, she clicked her tongue.
"You still haven't upgraded your room, huh? Are you planning to live in this starter box forever?"
Qin Ming followed her in, hands shoved into his pockets.
"You're a Mid-Level Adventurer now. Why are you still hanging around the low-level district? Shouldn't you be off exploring your shiny new environnt?"
"No rush. Mid-Level Adventurers get three months of rest ti between missions—and we can store unused ti too. The perks are way better than for you Low-Level grunts. Plus, there are other benefits. I'm officially on the payroll now, baby!"
"Congrats, I guess."
"Thanks! You know, you haven't even asked what I was up to before coming here."
With a sly grin, she leaned closer, her eyes twinkling mischievously.
"I was preparing a gift for you."
"A gift?"
"Yep! We worked so well together last mission, and I owe you big ti for helping secure my gold-tier weapon. So... ta-da!"
She placed an item on the table with a flourish.
It was... a head.
Qin Ming stared blankly at the blood-soaked bundle.
"...This is your idea of a gift? You brought a severed head as a souvenir? Am I supposed to be touched by this? Is this, like, the Emperor of Japan's head or sothing?"
"Nah, nothing that dramatic. But this thing suits your style perfectly. Trust —I hand-picked it just for you, and it cost a pretty penny!"
Unwrapping the bundle, the head inside was revealed.
It had a twisted, tornted expression, and yet... Qin Ming's grin widened.
Na: Head of Kasamoto Eri (tal Slug World)
Type: Consumable (Dull Silver Quality)
Effect: Gain 5 Agility and a random skill from Kasamoto Eri upon use.
Description: A tragic protagonist who died at the hands of a companion. Even in death, she couldn't understand why soone she trusted would betray her so suddenly.
Qin Ming's brows shot up in surprise.
Before he could react, Double-Gun Lady elbowed him in the ribs, grinning wickedly.
"Your gun can summon minions with heads, right? Well, this head is way higher quality than that trash you've been using. Plus, she's a gun-user too. And the best part? She's a girl. Right up your alley, you dirty-minded pervert. Aren't I thoughtful?"
"...You know what? Thanks. Really."
Qin Ming sighed, shaking his head with a resigned smile.
Sure, she painted him as so depraved degenerate. But Qin Ming couldn't deny one thing:
She was spot on.
This gift? He absolutely loved it.
After all, given the choice, who would prefer a dude minion over a girl minion?
He wasn't insane.
