Chapter 782: Chapter 672: A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Even though the "Master" never asked him for any return, remaining so silent that it seemed nonexistent.

On the contrary, he himself, every now and then, without warning, would once again receive from the "Master" a gratuitous gift of Strength, making him feel a bit guilty.

Sometimes it would strengthen his bones, sometimes sharpen his claws, or fill him with vital energy.

Each enhancement of Strength was different, and this morning’s was especially overwhelming, far surpassing previous times.

Compared to himself before being kidnapped a month ago, Chen Fengrui had not attempted but could feel that now he was terrifyingly strong.

He could probably easily tear apart a hundred of his previous selves.

Actually, there was a very beautiful misunderstanding in this...

Feng Mu always thought that the granting of the [Deputy’s Blessing] was a one-time thing.

Because the previous [Deputy’s Blessing lv1] entry clearly stated: A follower can initially be bestowed with only one ability, with the Attribute Value anchored to your current state, allowing the follower to inherit 50%-99%.

Thus, Feng Mu always understood that the ability value inherited by the follower was fixed at the "moment of granting" as the anchor point.

Given that he was relatively weak when he granted the abilities, he naturally didn’t believe that the 44 Deputies who inherited that bit of ability could truly inherit and develop much Strength.

So he naturally did not expect them to be of any significance in the short term; after the blessing, he simply ignored or forgot about them.

But in fact, the "current state as anchor" in that entry was not a one-time static moment but a continuous, dynamic, real-time comparison.

In other words, each subsequent upgrade, increase in attributes, and enhancement in ability by Feng Mu would simultaneously be upgraded, enhancing all 44 Deputies unpromptedly.

Although the Deputies initially gained only the [Molded Embryo] ability, and the skill level of Feng Mu’s [Molded Embryo] was indeed advancing relatively slowly.

But his four-dimensional Attributes kept steadily improving.

And [Molded Embryo], or most skills, directly correlated their power with the strength of the basic Attribute Value.

This resulted in an outcome Feng Mu completely didn’t anticipate — he always thought his 44 Deputies were just a bunch of newly planted "saplings," but in reality, these followers had long been following the "Master," upgrading several times like sitting on a rocket.

Especially last night, the [Deputy’s Blessing] entry itself was upgraded from LV1 to LV2, bringing a comprehensive enhancement that made all the Deputies undergo a qualitative leap as if reborn.

They might not have grown into towering trees, but becoming a few strong "Cannibal Flowers" posed no problem.

This wonderful misunderstanding created such an outcome that he, without asking for anything in return or even notifying, repeatedly distributed free Strength to the Deputies time and again.

To put it more vividly, it’s like the boss runs around making money outside every day while 44 employees stay at home without needing to do anything, only to find their salaries credited after waking up from a nap.

It’s simply freaking backward and outrageously generous.

Is there anywhere else in this world with such a generous boss?

So, the loyalty and love of employees towards the boss would surely soar crazily, right?

Under such circumstances, if one doesn’t become wholeheartedly devoted to the boss and swear allegiance unto death, then one really isn’t fit to be called a person.

Chen Fengrui heavily kowtowed to the void Master with a red forehead before slowly getting up and dressing up.

Pushing open the bedroom door, a bland synthetic food aroma rushed over; the house wasn’t big, about fifty square meters, crudely divided into two rooms and a small living room which doubled as a kitchen.

A woman with greying hair walked out from the kitchen, placing three bowls of gray-white synthetic porridge on the table.

The porridge was thin, almost reflective like a mirror, with a few swollen artificial wheat grains settled at the bottom of the bowl.

A middle-aged man sat by the table, staring down at his phone screen.

The phone emitted the morning news announcer’s voice, accurate but emotionless:

"...urge the Blank People once more, to seize the final registration deadline and go to the designated sites in each district promptly to register their personal information and obtain their citizen identity codes.

This is the foundation of social integration and enjoying rights, the first step towards becoming an honorable official citizen.

To repeat, today is the final deadline for Blank People identity registration; below are the detailed addresses and opening times of each street’s sites..."

Recently, the news in Zone 9 mainly revolved around the Air Tax, as for the major incident that happened at Jade Garden yesterday, it naturally couldn’t appear in the news.

Chen Fengrui walked to the table, pulling aside a creaky old chair, a smirk appearing on his face.

The middle-aged man’s sight lifted from the phone screen, glancing at his son, eyes filled with a mix of exhaustion and helplessness, his deeply wrinkled brow furrowing even tighter.

But in the end, he said nothing, just swiped away the news and popped up an advertisement.

The voice from the phone suddenly became intense and extravagant, accompanied by a cheerful background music:

"...to celebrate the comprehensive upgrade of the Upper City air purification system, sweet and fresh air benefiting all the public.

Bright Group’s subsidiary Tengguang Technology proudly launches the epoch-making product — the ’Refreshing’ series of breathing wristbands, monitoring every breath’s air volume in real-time, making it easy for the general populace to record and appreciate the quality air they breathe daily.
