Chapter 2
Because in his previous life, Roger liked to learn some special skills other than studying, which made his family dislike him.
(In his previous life, Roger's family was not very wealthy when he was young, and he had little knowledge)
They thought that learning anything other than studying was unorthodox and not doing one's job properly.
But Roger soon proved himself with facts.
Not only was he at the top of the class in his studies, but he also made achievements in his own interests and specialties. Later, he earned his tuition and living expenses with his specialties.
After getting such results, his parents also let it go, and kept saying that Xinwu had a unique vision and was gifted.
So don't try to argue with your stubborn parents, because they may not be wrong, but they are used to looking at everything with a realistic eye, which creates a generation gap between you.
"Would you like to have something to eat, Roger?"
"No, mother, I'm full."
Rogge said with a smile, then opened the door and went out.
He wanted to see the night view of the sea and then blow the sea breeze, which was his pleasure every night.
Because Rogge also knew that no matter how hard he tried, he could not force himself to practice sword like Sauron.
His body could only force him to practice sword for one day.
It was impossible at night no matter how hard he forced himself. If he didn't want to be unable to get up tomorrow because of pain.
Whoosh~
The sea breeze at night was particularly comfortable.
Blowing on Rogge's face made him enjoy it very much. He was about to become strong and would no longer be looked down upon because of his weakness.
Father and mother would no longer worry about his stubbornness.
"Hmm?"
In the dark night, Roger found a bamboo basket floating from the other side of the sea.
There won't be devil fruits in it, right?
Roger also liked to watch One Piece in his previous life, and he has read a lot of fan fiction with such developments, so he had such a guess.
He propped up his numb body, and then ran to the beach with some expectation, and salvaged the bamboo basket ashore.
Open it!
A basket of ordinary apples.
It seems that his good luck has been used for system awakening.
Roger smiled self-deprecatingly.
However, the appearance of this basket of apples just met his needs.
His family didn't buy any fruit today, so Roger didn't have the opportunity to test the system upgrade points.
Taking out an apple, Roger said
"System, upgrade."
Ding! Detecting an ordinary apple, consuming a little upgrade point, upgrading... Upgraded successfully!
Ordinary apples are upgraded to level 1 physical apples. After eating, they can increase the host's physical strength.
The current host's upgrade point balance is 599
"Level 1 physical strength apple?"
"Could it be that this ordinary apple can be further upgraded?"
Thinking of this, Rogge ordered the system to upgrade it again.
Ding! A level 1 physical apple is detected. Upgrading consumes 10 upgrade points. Upgrading... Upgraded successfully! The level 1 physical apple is upgraded to the level 2 physical apple. After eating, it can increase the host's physical strength by 10 points.
The current host upgrade point balance is 589 points.
"……"
Spending 11 upgrade points to get a 10-point bonus is less than eating 11 first-level apples.
It seems that this function is just for the convenience of the host to eat fruits.
However, Rogge thinks that in order to make better use of the upgrade points, it is better to ignore this seemingly redundant function.
Click!
After eating this second-level apple, a virtual panel appeared in front of Rogge.
Host: Rogge
Physical strength: 14 (normal adult data is 10)
Strength: 3 (normal adult data is 10)
Speed: 7 (normal adult data is 10)
Spirit: 15 (normal adult data is 10)
Swordsmanship: Unlearned swordsman
"I didn't expect that I was in such high spirits."
Rogge suddenly thought with some pride, but his joy soon turned into worry.
"But his other data was too bad, even his physical strength, which had only reached 4 before."
Then Rogge looked at the basket of apples next to him again.
Good! Eat them all in one go!
Ding! Ordinary apples detected...
There were 30 apples in the bamboo basket. So Rogge converted them all into first-level physical apples, and there were 560 upgrade points left.
In this way, Rogge's physical strength directly reached a terrifying data of 43 (compared to before).
Then, although he didn't quite understand it, it seemed that apples could only be upgraded to physical apples, not other types of apples.
So when he had time tomorrow, he had to go to the market to buy some other fruits to try and see if there was any difference.
After eating the apples, it was late at night.
Rogge quietly packed up the bamboo basket and walked back home.
"What did you pick up again? Roger.
His mother, who was doing some weaving to supplement the family income, asked when she saw the bamboo basket in Roger's hand.
There were always all kinds of garbage floating on the sea, so Roger would always bring some things home at this time.
Some were useful, some were not.
"It's just a bamboo basket, mother."
Rogge put the bamboo basket beside the door and said
"Oh, that's right, but the bamboo basket can also hold some things, which is also good."
The mother said in a comforting tone.
"Well, mother, can you give me some money?"
Rogge is going to the market to buy fruit tomorrow, so he must have some Bailey.
"this……"
After hesitating for a moment, the mother turned her head and secretly glanced at her father who was already asleep, then took out her own private money from the secret compartment of her loom.
"I can’t use the living money at home to give you, so you can use the spare money that your mother earns first."
The mother whispered, as if she was afraid of being discovered by her father.
Roger looked at his mother like this and was unconsciously moved.
""Yes! Thank you, mother."
Rogge said seriously, then took the Bailey from his mother and went back to his room to rest.
Rogge was very grateful for having such a considerate mother, because his mother always came out to support him unconditionally when he was in a dilemma, including learning swordsmanship.
But Rogge would not hate his father. His father was only strict on the surface and looked at things more realistically. He was still very good to him in his heart. Rogge understood this.
In the early morning, Xinwu's mother packed up the textile tools and went back to the room to rest.
Just as she was about to lie down, her husband's voice rang out.
"There are some Baileys on the table. Don't use your own private money to spend on that brat. If he asks for it, will I not give it to him?"
Xin Wu's father murmured a few words as if he was talking in his sleep, and then turned sideways and fell asleep again.
Puff!
Roger's mother almost laughed out loud, but she was afraid of disturbing her husband's rest, so she quickly covered her mouth.
"You."
The mother seemed to say helplessly, then she lay down beside her father, hugged his waist and fell asleep silently, enjoying the daily warmth that belongs to ordinary people.
