Mixed Blessing System

After the award ceremony, Lothur made his way along with Viktoria and Annaliese to the Frost family estate with the other organization members.

Many powers were watching him, so he and Viktoria could not simply leave for the hotel they were staying in.

At the same time, because of the situation earlier, surely some people would investigate how they managed to get to the Coliseum. And with that, the risks of someone discovering the hotel room they were staying in were not small!

Hence, they headed along with that group to the Frost estate, where at least enemies would be afraid to act openly given Mabel\'s presence.

But while they were doing this, Fritz was watching the carriages of that family drive away, tasting defeat again this week.

Since his arrival in Peters City, he had collected failures in the face of Lothur, coming to this moment when he had to return to his family to report that all.

"Tell our allies in this province to continue their plans against the Frost family." He said as he stood beside his carriage at the exit of the Coliseum. "I also want them to keep an eye on this Lothur and try to eliminate him if they get the chance."

"Yes, young master!" One of the subordinates there said before leaving to settle these matters.

Fritz then got into his carriage with a thoughtful expression on his face. \'We cannot weaken because of his. The second prince\'s faction will not miss any opportunity to attack ours if we rush things!\'

...

Sometime later, Lothur\'s group was already at Viktoria\'s residence, inside the Frost family\'s estate.

In that place, Annaliese, Lothur, and Viktoria soon sat down on the sofa in the living room, relaxing their bodies due to the physical and mental fatigue accumulated these days.

Meanwhile, Lothur took the box with the pills he had won for winning three competitions of different professions. He looked at one of them and gave it to Annaliese. "Use this."

Spiritual pills or resources that could affect a person\'s physical or mental attributes only had an effect the first time they were used.

That was, of course, considering that the item was of the same rank as it had been used before.

If it was a pill of the same type, but of a higher grade, this rule did not apply, and that same person could use it again.

In practice, this meant that someone could use an Iron-grade Six Sense Pill, a Bronze-grade one once, and so on, up to the highest grade. But, of course, the same was valid for medicines, potions, and poisons that could affect attributes.

That way, since the three pills he received as a prize were of the same type and grade, he could use only one anyway. Thus, he preferred to give one to Annaliese and the other to Elke.

Viktoria had earned hers, and she would undoubtedly give the ones she would not use to the Frost family.

Annaliese readily understood why Lothur gave it to her and did not question it. Instead, she just took the colored pill that had two stripes in its center from his hand and thanked him.

Viktoria saw this and was pleased that her husband was so concerned about her family...

On the other hand, Lothur got up from that couch and sat in the middle of that living room, not delaying putting the pill he had just seen the features of into his mouth.

[Awakening Pill] [Rank: Bronze]

[Purity: 90%] [1 unit]

[Effect: enriches the spiritual sense of the one who ingests it.]

As he felt the pill melt, Lothur noticed as if a dense vapor had suddenly escaped each of his pores. Because of this, his senses heightened, and he felt like he had improved from a cold.

His breathing slowed in frequency. His awareness of his surroundings improved, with him understanding better the position and shape of objects in his surroundings, even with his eyes closed.

At the same time, he sensed Viktoria\'s cultivation. Even without seeing her attributes, he could more or less estimate how powerful she must be.

Along with that, his horizons expanded, and he noticed the presence of many people on that estate, even overhearing some conversations here and there.

"Don\'t do that... They\'ll hear us!"

"But you like it..."

"It doesn\'t matter. You know we\'ll end up making noise!" He heard a couple talking.

At the same time, people nagging nonsense about the previous competition and local gossip came to this young man\'s attention.

"Hey, man, did you see what the young master did today? He\'s a real animal!"

"I would be too if I got into bed with that goddess..."

"Hahaha."

"Miss Viktoria\'s ass is amazing. It\'s big, round... Ah, I would give anything just to see her naked."

"Tsk!"

"Stop lusting after our young miss! Toads like you will never get even a glimpse of her!" An older woman\'s voice made Lothur laugh.

But then, he managed to control his senses better and retracted his spiritual probing to where they were standing.

It was interesting to have the ability to hear people at a distance and to keep one\'s vigilance at a maximum. But doing this right after increasing this ability was problematic, so he quickly tried to suppress such a thing.

First, he had to get used to hearing everyone in the surrounding area before he could passively use this feature!

And so the system showed him the status after a few minutes.

[Name: Lothur Ritter]

[Physique: what doesn\'t kill you makes you stronger]

[Bloodline: Life Devourer]

[Cultivation: level 9]

[STR: 28.4] [CON: 100] [DEX: 24.6] [AGI: 32.8]

[INT: 68.8 -> 70]

[PER: 72 -> 95]

[WIL: 78.7]

[EVF: 623]

Upon opening his eyes and seeing this, Lothur understood why he had heard so many things, as this considerably increased his Perception.

On the other hand, he saw his Intelligence attribute improve a bit and was pleased as it was not easy to raise this trait.

\'That\'s great!\'

\'With a higher Perception, my visual ability will naturally be amplified. At the same time, in addition to having more ease time in my professions, I will be able to improve my dodging when in battle.\' He pondered, extremely pleased with that.

He then saw that Annaliese was still absorbing the medicinal power of the pill he had given her. At the same time, Viktoria seemed to have finished doing the same as him.

She opened her eyes and looked at her husband, smiling. "How are you feeling? Better?"

"Hmm, much." He smiled back. "That is a treasured prize."

"Yeah... Anyway, what are we going to do now? Return to the hotel?"

He was silent for a moment and then answered. "Let\'s leave it to return to the hotel later. I want to look at the rest of the prizes I received and see if there is anything I can do now."

"After that, we\'ll leave." He felt it would be more difficult for them to leave this place. But still, he would rather be off the Frost estate, minding his own business without depending too much on others.

"All right."

So he soon began to study what he had received.
