I'll Add Points To All Things - Chapter 677

Chapter 677: B-Ranked Silver Talent: Kindness Must Be Repaid

After that, Su Yang checked the items that were related to his Silver Ability. ‘Two Silver Points and an [A-Ranked Silver Ability Lucky Draw Voucher].’

Su Yang pondered for a moment. ‘The [A-Ranked Silver Ability Lucky Draw Voucher] is too precious. I’ve already used one before and the ability I obtained was very impressive. In fact, it even allowed me to train my spiritual energy. So, in order to maximize this voucher’s effectiveness, I’d best wait until I have my lucky period before I use it.

‘So… This time, I’ll just use my Silver Point directly!’

With that thought in mind, Su Yang returned to his room. He stood in front of the mirror in the toilet and turned on the system.

As the system opened, a translucent [+] symbol appeared above Su Yang’s head.

Su Yang raised his hand above his head and tapped on the [+] symbol and a notification popped up in front of him.

[Please select how you would like to add a point.]

[Silver Point]

As Su Yang made his choice, a silver-white box appeared out of thin air before him. There were the words “Draw One] written on the box.

Hence, Su Yang reached in to touch the balls, which he found that there were only two inside.

Then, Su Yang grabbed one casually and took it out to take a look. The word “Talent” was written on it.

Instantly, Su Yang’s heart skipped a beat.

‘F*ck, a talent?!

‘I’ve been saying Silver Abilities so much that I’ve almost forgotten about the existence of talents!’

The difference between talents and abilities was that talents would be activated without Su Yang being able to deactivate it, while abilities could be activated and deactivated by choice.

Therefore, Su Yang was about to possess an ability that would be locked onto him without the possibility of it being deactivated.

Su Yang began to imagine what it would be like if [Space Traversing Eyes] was a talent instead of an ability.

‘As I become famous, more and more people would mention my name and there would be pop-up windows after pop-up windows appearing before me. When that happens, I wouldn’t be able to live my life at all.’

At the thought of this, Su Yang felt goosebumps all over his body. The only thought in his mind was. ‘Can I stop selecting?’

Hence, he tried to leave the toilet without looking at the second box, but the box remained right before him.

After that, Su Yang called Little Deeny to his bedroom and tested her. To his surprise, she could see the box but could not touch it.

‘Well… This just got troublesome.

‘I can’t just walk around with a box in front of me for the rest of my life, it would be a miracle if some researcher doesn’t kidnap me and conduct scientific research on me!

‘So… I guess I can only draw then!’

Hence, Su Yang gritted his teeth and reached into the box again.

The second box was for Su Yang to draw the level of the talent.

Because talent was fixed, Su Yang did not know whether he should be expecting to receive a high talent, or a low talent.

‘If I get a talent that ends up with murder cases wherever I go to, then… I’m probably never going to grow up then.’

As his thoughts ran wild, Su Yang took out a second ball which had the letter “B” on it.

‘B-Ranked talent… This is a very high level one.’

At that moment, Su Yang had four A-Ranks in his hands.

Then, the third silver box appeared.

Su Yang gulped and went to wash his hands with the box “blocking” his way. Then, he reached into the box to draw the talent that would determine his fate.

Su Yang’s hands wandered around the endless sea of table tennis balls. A moment later, he caught a table tennis ball.

Su Yang took out the ping pong ball and looked at the words on it which read, [B-Ranked Silver Talent: Kindness Must Be Repaid.]

‘[Kindness Must Be Repaid]?

‘What does this do?

‘Are you telling me that I’m going to have to repay every kindness I owe to someone?

‘Hmm… Although, I suppose I should repay any kindness though.

‘However… What kind of bullsh*t ability is this?’

Just as Su Yang was trying to analyze the contents of the innate talent through its name, the table tennis ball suddenly left his hand and rushed towards his body.

Moments later, it entered the center of his body.

In an instant, Su Yang felt a sharp pain in his chest, as he fell down onto his knees and clutched his chest. Then, he let out a beast-like growl.

“Ahhh!”

Su Yang roared again and again, venting the pain that was as if a stone was growing out of his chest.

“Why is this stupid talent growing on my chest? It hurts so much!” Su Yang gritted his teeth as he tried to distract himself while trying to crawl out of the toilet, which had a rather dirty floor, while Su Yang was a clean freak.

Just as he was one step away from the toilet door, the pain suddenly disappeared.

Su Yang’s hand was already at the door and had even grabbed onto the carpet in his bedroom when the pain suddenly disappeared. ‘I almost couldn’t breathe!

‘This is like fighting through an extremely tough conquest, only to find out that the enemy’s surrendered when we’ve finally arrived at their base.

‘This is infuriating!’

After that, he collapsed onto the ground and rested for three minutes before he stood up and left the toilet.

After Su Yang changed into a new set of clothes and sat on the bed, he opened up the system and looked at his new talent.

[Silver Talent: Kindness Must Be Repaid]

Talent: When you help someone else or perform an act of kindness towards them and the other party is either truly grateful or says the words “thank you very much”, this talent will be triggered.

After this talent is triggered, you have to choose to have the other party do something that does not violate their wishes, or take control of their body for 10 minutes.

Restriction 1: You will only have one week to consider which option you would like to choose. After a week, this talent will automatically choose to execute one of the options.

Restriction 2: You will only have the authority to reserve three people’s repayment of their kindness. When a fourth person appears, the kindness from the first person will be repaid automatically.

Note: Accepting the compensation from the state will not affect your conduct; but if you don’t accept it, you will not be able to save your people in Lu Nation who need the money.

Looking at the talent’s introduction, Su Yang realized something. ‘As expected of a talent, it doesn’t even give me the chance to make a choice. All I can do is either choose an option or postpone the decision until a later date, but I can’t reject it no matter what.

‘Furthermore, once I’ve helped someone, I must ask for something in return, be it asking them to do something for me or I take control over their body.

‘So, I can’t even do good deeds anonymously now.’

Su Yang really wanted to tell them that he is Robin Hood, hoping to do good deeds without expecting anything in return.

However, when he looked at the remarks… ‘There’s actually some logic behind this overbearing talent…’

This is like a story during Spring and Autumn.

Confucius had two students. One was Zilu and the other was Zigong.

There was a law in Lu Nation. If the people of Lu Nation were to become slaves overseas, they could be ransomed by sending the money to the national treasury after someone sees them. At the time, after Zigong had ransomed a local citizen, he did not ask for compensation from his country upon his return.

When Confucius found out, he said that Zigong had made a mistake. Although Zigong had gained some reputation, others would no longer dare to ask for compensation from the country because of him and would no longer ransom out another local ever again. Therefore, although Zigong had good intentions, he had made a mistake.

Later, Confucius’ other disciple, Zilu, saved a drowning man. The man thanked Zilu by giving him a cow, which Zilu accepted. Confucius said happily that from then on, many people would be brave enough to save a drowning man.

This story was to tell the world that doing good deeds based on “kindness” would not last long. Only when people realized that doing good deeds would bring rewards, would more and more people be willing to do good deeds. Only then would the world be better.

After Su Yang thought about this story… ‘If I were to help someone and ask for something in return, it would seem… Strangely sacred! It’d be like I’m sacrificing my reputation to benefit the world!’

Hence, Su Yang was happy that he was standing on the moral high ground.

After understanding his talent, Su Yang felt that even though the talent was domineering, it was still quite powerful.

After obtaining the talent, Su Yang wanted to give it a try. He was thinking about who he should try it on, so he slipped out of the room and went downstairs.

Just as he arrived downstairs, Su Yang bumped into Little Hus and with a roll of his eyes, he pressed it onto the ground.

However, Little Hus was not angry at being knocked down by Su Yang. Instead, it glared at Su Yang. “What do you want?”

Su Yang said, “Little Hus, do you think I’m nice to you?”

Little Hus did not hesitate. “Not too bad.”

Su Yang knocked its head. “Say that again.”

Little Hus: “Very passable.”

Su Yang was speechless for a moment before he said, “Aren’t you thankful that I enlightened you? Plus, I even enlightened Janet to be your companion?”

Little Hus chuckled. “Thank you.”

Su Yang looked at the dog’s expression and felt that those three words did not sound like sincere gratitude at all. Instead, they sounded like cursing.

Of course, this could also be due to the husky’s annoying face.

However… The Silver Talent wasn’t triggered.

‘Huh?

‘This dog has definitely become heartless!’

So… Two minutes later.

Su Yang patted the washing machine and sighed. “A bolster is something that I carry everyday after all. So, I suppose I should wash it more often.”

Then, he left the laundry room to find his next “prey”.

When he reached the courtyard, Su Yang saw Gru, who was basking in the sun.

Then, Su Yang thought about it. ‘Forget it. I haven’t resolved Gru’s talent yet, so I’d better not go near it.’

Then he looked at the group of Little Monster Beans on the ground.

‘Little Monster Beans?

‘Hmm… I’ve been causing them to blow up everyday previously, it’d be strange if they would feel thankful to me.’

Hence, Su Yang looked up again.

‘Fei Fei?

‘Nope… I don’t want to be flattened against the swimming pool with its butt.’

After looking for a while, Su Yang could not find anyone suitable. However, just as Su Yang was about to head upstairs to look for Little Deeny, his phone rang.

Little Deeny then notified Su Yang, “Master, it’s Xu Lu.”

‘Xu Lu?’

Su Yang could not help but think of this money-loving senior.

‘Hang on? I seem to have given her a lot of help and helped her earn a lot of money. So, she should be really grateful to me, shouldn’t she?

‘Why don’t I use this talent on her then?

‘I’ll just take it as my repayment then…

‘If push comes to shove, I’ll just guide her to earning more money when the opportunity rises then.’

At that thought, Su Yang picked up the phone and Xu Lu’s charming voice came from the other end. “Su Yang, it’s the holidays now, so do you have any plans?”

Su Yang answered honestly, “I’m filming a movie, which I’m working on everyday right now.”

“Oh…” said Xu Lu before she then asked, “In that case… Do you have any other methods that I can use to earn money then?”

She continued to explain, “I won’t be going home during the holidays this year. So, I’m thinking about getting a job since I’ll be staying in Shanghai.”

Su Yang pondered for a moment. ‘If I wanted to use this talent, I’d need to make her be grateful towards me. In that case, should I satisfy her request then?’

With that thought in mind, Su Yang started to think about what kind of job he could arrange for Xu Lu…
