After all the commotion caused by Lynlo, Nicole's resentment toward him was like a river constantly flowing into Lynlo's ring.
Even through the thick blanket, Lynlo could clearly hear the girl's heavy breathing.
It wasn't just because of the heat, but also because of her anger and frustration.
But no matter how much she hated Lynlo, it was futile. She could hate him all she wanted, but she couldn't touch him.
He didn't suffer any losses, on the contrary, he was quite comfortable lying in bed.
Fear? Guilt? Shame?
No, none of that!
Lynlo's heart was bursting with joy. How could this be a kidnapped beauty? She was simply a money tree!
As he watched the accumulation of resentment, Lynlo felt a sense of satisfaction.
He had never heard of this "Mystery" before. It was either unprecedented or exclusive to bosses, as Nicole claimed.
Either way, Lynlo was filled with anticipation.
Nicole seemed to hate him so much that she earned a lot of resentment even when she was just lying there.
Compared to the rate at which he collected resentment from Michelle, it was much more impressive.
But thinking about it, Lynlo did admit to being the one who kidnapped her, so it was understandable that she would hate him.
He didn't suffer any losses, but felt even more satisfied.
In fact, he could kick the blanket a few times and collect more resentment, but Nicole was a girl and Lynlo wasn't a devil. He wouldn't do such extreme things. He would let her generate resentment on her own.
Soon, he heard a clear sound in his mind: "Ding--"
"Congratulations, host, for completing the mission. Mission reward: 【Mystery: Evil Dragon Bloodline Lv1】is being generated."
------
Mystery: Evil Dragon Bloodline Lv1.
Effect: Possess the bloodline of an evil dragon, gaining strength and stamina bonuses that adapt to the host's level.
When activated, the bonuses to strength and stamina will be greatly increased.
------
Seeing the panel constructed by the energy in front of him, Lynlo was astonished.
This Evil Dragon Bloodline was obviously a growth-type Mystery, with strength and stamina that adapt with levels...
Strength and stamina were exactly what Lynlo lacked the most right now.
Although his agility was high, its effects were not initially apparent.
Most adventurers from poor backgrounds focused on enhancing either strength or stamina, as these attributes had noticeable benefits in the early stages.
Lynlo mainly increased his agility out of habit.
It was like being used to playing a high-level character and suddenly playing a low-level one. Without a movement speed rune, everything felt unfamiliar. So he casually distributed some skill points to agility and then realized...
Where are my skill points?
Now, with the generation of the Mystery, Lynlo could clearly feel something inside him being ignited, like stars twinkling in the dark night.
His attributes had significantly improved, although there was no obvious change on the surface, his muscles had become tighter and his breathing had become more stable.
With the increase in strength, the force of Lynlo's attacks had also increased.
With the increase in stamina, Lynlo's energy recovery rate had become faster, and his whole body felt lighter.
Lynlo was eager to feel this new power and decided to...
Lift Nicole, who was wrapped in the blanket.
"Hey! What are you doing! Put this king down!"
"She's still quite heavy," Lynlo said to himself, completely ignoring Nicole.However, the increase in power was indeed significant, just not as effortless as imagined. After all, girls are quite heavy. The weight of a two-handed sword is only about six or seven pounds, and a double-edged axe usually does not exceed ten pounds.
If Lynlo could lift Nicole effortlessly and without any effort, then he would definitely be a strongman.
"Put this king down! Who...who allowed you to lift this king?"
"Detecting resentment from Nicole, currently collecting... Subsequent task: continue collecting resentment from Nicole, reward is enhanced experience. Once collected completely, it will automatically upgrade the host's [Evil Dragon Lineage] level."
Mystery itself is already powerful, and more importantly, Mystery can upgrade. After upgrading, not only will Mystery's values be enhanced, but new effects will also be unlocked.
"Stage task issued: make Nicole willingly become the host's slave."
Lynlo nodded, and he became somewhat sober because of the task of the ring.
Now he has tasted the sweetness, but his situation is also dangerous.
Although it is good that Nicole constantly harbors resentment towards him, Lynlo needs to avoid having this little girl hate him.
The reason is simple, this girl has a high level.
Collecting resentment himself is like being on the edge of being beaten, it is no different from seeking skin from a tiger.
Although Nicole currently has no power and there are no signs of recovery in her strength, what if one day her power is restored...
Even with the help of the contract, Lynlo can't let his guard down.
It's time to negotiate with this girl.
Reasonable harvesting of leeks is necessary for sustainable development.
With this in mind, Lynlo threw the raised "seaweed roll" onto the bed and then leaned towards one side of the blanket, clearing his throat.
"Cough cough~"
Oh, accidentally looked in the wrong direction, what I see here is Nicole's delicate little feet.
Lynlo ran to the other end of the "seaweed roll" again.
"Are you calm now?"
Lynlo's face was full of kindness, of course, one cannot let go of their value, one must maintain a sense of superiority, as if it is the mercy of a strong person.
In Lynlo's mind, there seems to be a director guiding this newcomer actor through the play.
