I’ll Add Points To All Things

Chapter 539 - Gru’s Special Talent: Friends and Foes



Chapter 539: Gru’s Special Talent: Friends and Foes

‘Intermediate Intellect?

‘New talent?

‘And a new ability on top of that?’

Su Yang was so happy he felt as though he was over the moon as he climbed up the slope from the very bottom!

‘It has actually obtained so many upgrades in 1 shot!’

However, there might be good news, but there was also bad news. Gru had actually reached its maximum point as well…

Su Yang did some calculations. ‘Currently, the item that has reached its maximum point is [Burning Reincarnation Circus], then there’s Little Deeny +4 and now Gru +4.

‘And the worst part is… Up until now, I still don’t know how I can break through an item’s maximum point limit.’

Su Yang threw the matter to the back of his mind. ‘I still have many other matters that are more pressing. I need to trigger the Platinum Mission, use [Advanced Life Evolution] on the unfinished building, test out the new avatar…

‘Who doesn’t have procrastination issues when faced with so many pressing matters…

‘After all, the most urgent and important thing right now is to add a point to Gru!

‘After all, this was the first time Gru has obtained an ability and talent that’s recognized by the system, it even obtained 2 of them at once. Previously, from its previous 3 points, aside from gaining simple intellect, all others were useless points.

‘This time, 2 benefits came down at once. I guess good things do come in pairs!’

With that thought in mind, Su Yang opened Gru’s interface and looked at Gru’s new talent.

[Special Talent: Friends and Foes]

Talent 1: All plants within 100 m of this living being will be judged as its friends. As long as it’s nearby, plants will grow faster and their growth rate will be affected by its mood.

Talent 2: All animals within 10 m of this living being will be judged as its enemy. As long as they are nearby, the animals’ movement will become slower. The degree of sluggishness is directly proportional to the distance from it.

Restriction: When this living being is happy, the growth rate of the surrounding plants will increase by 3 times. When it is sad, the growth rate of the surrounding plants will increase by 1 time. Under normal circumstances, the growth rate of the surrounding plants will increase by 2 times.

Note 1: With it, you will have a grassland and can also raise wild horses.

Note 2: From now on, you have someone else to blame when you’re too full…

‘Eh… Why are these 2 notifications each more strange than the other?

‘They’re so weird that I’m getting goosebumps. Neither of them sound like anything good.

‘Furthermore, apart from these 2 strange notifications, why do I feel that this talent… Is a double-edged sword?

‘I suppose it’s not bad that all plants around it will be able to grow faster.

‘But to slow down all animals around Gru?

‘Huh?’

Suddenly, Su Yang was shocked. ‘Are humans considered to be animals?’

Su Yang looked at Gru, who was in the pit, and wanted to ask it that question.

However, when he opened his mouth, Su Yang realized that his body could not keep up with his brain.

He wanted to say, “Gru, does your talent include humans?”

In the end, when he slowly opened his mouth, the words that came out of his mouth became. “G ~ Ru ~ Do ~ es ~ Yo ~ ur ~ Ta ~ Lent ~ In ~ Clude ~ Hu ~ Mans?”

The sound was slow, like a famous sloth from a certain cartoon…

Halfway through his sentence, Su Yang felt that there was no need for Gru to reply anymore. It was obvious that it had included the human race!

‘This unlucky child!

‘Looks like I can’t hang around with it anymore!

‘Moreover, it’s a 10m radius! It’s not a short distance. This means that it’s effectively a 20m diameter!!

‘After all, this is a group debuff!’

When Gru heard Su Yang’s voice, it crawled up from the pit and stared at Su Yang with its cute eyes. Then, it tilted its head.

The crisp sound it made was absolutely adorable.

However, before Su Yang could change its mind, Gru ran over happily and pounced on Su Yang.

At that moment, Su Yang only had 1 thought. F*ck! Don’t come so close! I’m going to be frozen!

Unfortunately, he had been in Gru’s debuff range and could not dodge at all!

Even though his mind was trying to avoid it and his body was shifting his posture in that direction, his actions were just too slow. Hence, before he could even move much, he was directly pulled into Gru’s arms.

Su Yang was stunned…

‘Oh no, I can’t move at all anymore.’

As expected, because he was too close to Gru, Su Yang could not move his body at all. He wanted to reach out and push Gru away from him, but he realized that his hand was as heavy as lead. In fact, he could not even lift his hand and could only move it slowly.

Gru clearly did not know how terrifying its talent was. It still clung onto Su Yang and hugged him like a koala. It closed its eyes and rubbed its big head against Su Yang’s chest. (ノ゚▽゚)ノ

‘This is terrifying… I can’t even move my eyes to look downwards.

‘What should I do now…

‘Am I just going to stay trapped here?

‘Little Deeny! I was wrong! I shouldn’t have groped you… Hurry up and come save me!

‘Little Hus! Hurry up and come help me! I’ll draw 10,000 eggs for you!’

However, no matter how Su Yang screamed in his heart, it was useless.

In fact… he found that it was useless to pin his hopes on the little monsters. Because… they were also considered to be animals too. Therefore, if they approached Gru, they’d be frozen as well.

‘Oh no, oh no, what should I do?

‘I won’t be the first man to be ‘frozen to death’, would I?’

Just as Su Yang was panicking, he suddenly remembered the special item that he had just added a point onto a few days ago, the [Liquid Metal Avatar MK 2].

This was a special item that allowed Su Yang to use his mind to control an avatar. Furthermore, he could adjust his size and weight within a certain range.

Most importantly, it was not an animal, but a piece of metal!

‘I should be able to move through that, shouldn’t I?’

With that thought in mind, Su Yang connected to his avatar.

[Are you sure you want to connect to a Liquid Metal Avatar?]

[Yes]

That was not the first time Su Yang had done that. Ever since he obtained this avatar last week, he had wanted to test it out. However, he realized that he was different from Little Deeny.

Little Deeny had 10 cores, which was equivalent to 10 minds that were interlinked but could function as a huge brain which delegates different matters to work on it, be it 1 matter or several matters.

On the other hand, Su Yang only had 1 brain. Therefore, he could not multitask at all.

When he used his real body, he could not use his avatar. Likewise, when he used his avatars, he could not use his real body. There was no way he would be able to control 2 bodies at the same time, let alone handle 2 different matters or interfaces at 1 time.

In fact, he had experimented many times before, the best he could do was for his avatar and main body to take a step forward at the same time and he almost fell because of the height difference.

Since then, he had shrunk the [Liquid Metal Avatar] into a small metal ball that he kept in his pocket as a backup.

‘I did not expect to be able to use this today!’

With that thought in mind, Su Yang connected to his avatar. Instantly, an image appeared before him. It was a furry and scary-looking “wall” with lines of textures on the wall…

Su Yang was shocked. However, on second thought, he realized that that should be the piece of cloth he had in his pocket.

With a thought, he adjusted the shape of his avatar. He turned the avatar from a ball into a small silver human, and then he ran to his pant’s pocket.

Su Yang had a height of 182 cm, and his pants were about 1.1m long. For a normal human, this was as low of a height as it could get. For Su Yang, who was currently only 5 cm tall, it was about the height of 15 storeys.

Su Yang looked down, when he saw the unattainable ground, his legs almost gave way.

Looking down from that height, his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were trembling… ‘This is absolutely terrifying.’

However, when he thought about the current emergency situation and his avatar’s “physical qualities”, Su Yang gritted his teeth and stomped his feet… Before he gave up again.

After all, even a normal person would be scared of bungee jumping for the first time…

Even though he knew that the qualitative traits of the [Liquid Metal Avatar] was there and that he would be fine if he jumped, the fear of heights that humans were born with could not be removed.

However, it was as though Su Yang could not handle the current situation.

‘Since I dare not jump down, I’ll just get the ground to approach me instead.’

At that thought, Su Yang decided to change the size of his avatars after a mental gesture.

As he confirmed the size of his avatar, he heard a system notification.

[Please confirm the volume to change to.]

Su Yang thought mentally. ‘As per my current volume’

Following Su Yang’s confirmation, his silvery-white avatar started to expand. 5cm, 10cm, 50cm, 100cm…

As Su Yang got bigger and bigger, his pants could not take it anymore and were torn apart.

A moment later, in the shredded pants, a silvery-white metal humanoid appeared.

Su Yang sat up from the ground and removed Gru from his body without hesitation.

Gru was still immersed in the excitement of adding points successfully when it was suddenly picked up. It looked at the person who was hugging it in a daze.

What was imprinted in its eyes was a person who looked exactly the same as Su Yang. It quickly turned its head to look at Su Yang’s body. In its eyes was a Su Yang in the flesh.

Having just obtained Intermediate Intellect, its face was filled with question marks.

“Gru, Gru?”

Su Yang’s avatar did not care about Gru’s question. He carried Gru with him and ran more than 10 m away.

As expected, as Gru slowly left, Su Yang’s main body gradually returned to normal.

Su Yang panted heavily. When he was frozen just now, he felt like he could not even breathe…

It was all thanks to his avatar that he had to deal with the emergency this time. Otherwise, Su Yang might have suffered a lot…

As his consciousness returned to its main body, Su Yang’s avatar remained still. Seeing Gru struggling to get out of the avatar’s embrace, Su Yang’s main body quickly stretched out its hand and stopped it. “STOP! Gru! Don’t move!”

Gru obediently stopped moving, but it tilted its head. “Gru?” Obviously, it was puzzled as to why Su Yang did not let it go near him.

Su Yang stood 10 m away from Gru and quickly explained Gru’s talent. Gru’s face then showed an expression to show that it understood, but it was mixed with pity and coquettish expression.

‘Gru must have never obtained any ability or talent before, so it doesn’t understand that it’s different from before. That’s why it created such a mess.

‘However, this talent it has is too cruel. Wherever it goes, everything stops moving and plants grow. If it returns to the castle, there’s definitely going to be a huge ruckus.

‘I wonder if I should let Gru stay outside the castle for the time being before I find a way to remove the debuff.

‘Otherwise, there aren’t many monsters in the family who will be able to withstand its Talent Halo.

‘However, before I hide Gru away, I should probably take a look at Gru’s new ability first.

‘After all, Gru has gained a talent and an ability with its latest point. With such a strong talent, its ability should be even more amazing, shouldn’t it?

‘However, I pray that Gru is blessed with an ability that is helpful to me! Please don’t give me another double-edged sword like its talent again!!

After praying, Su Yang opened Gru’s interface again…
