Chapter 289: Chapter 196: Leader of Three Societies! Full Level Old Shen!

Ding!

Congratulations to the host for winning the Go competition!

You’ve earned 60,000 Scholar Index points!

Surprise reward: One skill blind box!

(P.S. Placing in international events can lead to surprise drops!)

While the crowd cheered for victory, that familiar system notification rang in Shen Qiushan’s mind.

60,000 Scholar Index points!

So winning a single match scores 10,000 points!

This is definitely a new way to farm Scholar Index points!

Lately, Shen Qiushan’s been dwelling on maxing out all his basic attributes.

When the Gaokao rewards settled, he instantly got six million Scholar Index points and maxed out his Appearance, Endurance, and Health.

Now, Figure, Strength, and Speed were all left at 90.

Back then he figured 90 was enough and didn’t spend all his points on upgrades, but after accumulating for a while, he now had 3.18 million left.

So if he spends three million, he’d still have 180,000—more than enough for daily needs!

Hmm, why not seize the day?

Today’s the day!

Ding!

Scholar Index -1,000,000!

Figure +10!

Current Figure: 100!

Congratulations, host, you’ve gotten the “Perfect Figure” title.

(Perfect Figure: Boosts same-gender favorability by 20%, opposite-gender by 40%)

(Note: Perfect Figure requires a 30-day adjustment period)

Nice!!

Even though he’d been through this before, Shen Qiushan was still hyped.

Especially that 40% boost from the opposite gender—his “Divine Face” had a similar effect, and if that stacks, that’s a whopping 80%!

Add the commemorative “Charm Perfume” from the lottery, and that’s the full 100%!

Step outside with a guaranteed 100% favorability—instant heartthrob status, right??

But honestly, Shen Qiushan wasn’t sure the math worked that way.

But being popular with women—no doubt about it!

There’s a downside, though: stacking Divine Face and Perfect Figure means same-gender favorability shoots up to 40% too!

Gotta watch out for himself when going out from now on.

Ding!

Scholar Index -1,000,000!

Strength +10!

Current Strength: 100!

Congratulations, host, you’ve gained the “Power King” title.

(Power King: Possesses absolute strength to lift five times your body weight)

Whoa!

That’s scarily strong!

Shen Qiushan remembers that, in weightlifting, the world record for the 102kg category clean and jerk is around 230kg, or about 460 jin!

Shen Qiushan weighs about 150 jin, so five times is 750 jin!

Meaning, world champion weightlifters wouldn’t stand a chance against him.

Ding!

Scholar Index -1,000,000!

Speed +10!

Current Speed: 100!

Congratulations, host, you’ve received the “Flying Man” title.

(Flying Man: Surpasses human limits; host’s 100m sprint is 8.98 seconds)

Everyone knows the current world record for 100m is 9.58 seconds!

And now Shen Qiushan breaks into the sub-9 second mark!

He really is beyond human limits now.

Thus, all six of Shen Qiushan’s basic attributes hit full level.

Old Shen, fully maxed out!!

Next up are the High Tier Attributes.

Right now, four are available: Lifespan, Martial Arts, Medicine, Metaphysics

Shen Qiushan’s Lifespan is 84, which isn’t urgent since he’s got plenty of years left.

Martial Arts at 9, Medicine at 1, Metaphysics at 0!

Given the current social climate, no need to prioritize Martial Arts, so Medicine and Metaphysics are the next options.

These two really interest Shen Qiushan, especially Metaphysics.

Once his Scholar Index stash is big enough, he’ll try leveling them up.

But High Tier Attributes cost 100,000 Scholar Index per point—and that’s just at the starting level; it might get pricier later.

“Mr. Shen, are you a professional player?”

Just as Shen Qiushan basked in victory, a man’s voice suddenly popped up close by—speaking clunky Chinese.

Had that dramatic “military officer” accent from old war dramas: There’s a saying in Hua Country—He who knows the times is a hero!

Shen Qiushan turned his head for a look; the one approaching him was Pu Guochang.

“Mr. Pu speaks Chinese?”

Shen Qiushan was genuinely surprised; just now, during the match, the reception group and he had communicated in Korean or English.

Turns out this guy speaks Chinese after all!

Actually, not surprising—any teacher who joins an exchange delegation to Hua Country probably knows Chinese and a bit of local culture.

For instance, Jin Zhengu, who heads the group, has solid Chinese.

But these people, even though they can speak it, rarely do—like it’s embarrassing or something.

Honestly, it’s pretty normal among foreigners, given their upbringing, but some Hua Country folks go abroad, eat a few burgers, and come home spouting English non-stop—those guys really deserve a smack!

In Hua Country slang, they’re like… grandma’s underpants…

“Just a little bit.”

Pu Guochang pressed on, “Mr. Shen hasn’t answered my question yet—which club do you play for?”

“I’m just an amateur enthusiast.”

Shen Qiushan shrugged lightly.

“Amateur enthusiast?”

“Impossible!”

“Mr. Shen must be joking!”

Pu Guochang refused to believe someone who beat him 1v5 is only an amateur!

He thought Shen Qiushan’s skill was world champion level, but he’d never heard of any such legend in Hua Country—so he was dead curious about his identity.

“I never joke with strangers.”

Shen Qiushan replied casually.

Though his Go skills were top-tier, Shen Qiushan really wasn’t a pro, not even a registered amateur—he didn’t have any formal rank at all.

“Well, if Mr. Shen doesn’t wish to reveal his identity, I’ll drop it.”
