Leveling Up My Cultivation in the Real World
At twenty-seven, Chen Jue had just lost his job and was feeling somewhat adrift. It wasn’t until he unexpectedly awakened a reality-altering ability that allowed him to allocate points that he came to
On a city-to-countryside bus heading toward the outskirts, Chen Jue gazed out at the endless green rice fields retreating alongside the road.
The neatly planted rice paddies, the gurgling streams, the broad asphalt roads—occasionally, a row of freshly built yellow-walled houses would appear by the roadside, likely newly constructed villages for families relocated from some remote mountain valley.
The economy in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was thriving, and the construction of new countryside communities was in full swing. There were even charging stations and basketball courts; the environment seemed in no way inferior to urban neighborhoods.
Ultimately, the core reason was that city housing prices were simply too high—most people from rural areas couldn't afford to buy property in the city. The best they could do was build villa-like houses in the suburbs, passing them down to the next generation.
But after a brief look, Chen Jue’s interest in the scenery was quickly spent. He turned his attention to the attribute panel that had awakened in his mind less than three days ago:
Player: Chen Jue
Age: 27
Strength: 0.83
Agility: 0.74
Intelligence: 1.22
Constitution: 0.98
Assignable Attribute Points: 0.05
(Reference: The average attribute for a standard adult male is 1 point.)
That was the entirety of the attribute panel—extremely simple, but sufficient to reflect Chen Jue’s physical condition.
“So what if I’ve awakened one of those system panels that novels have written to death?” he thought.
