"Ah!" Just as Liu Menglong was about to add all 10 remaining points to his True Qi, Dragonfly seemed to think of something and hurriedly called out, "Although True Qi is very important, the balance of attributes is also crucial. Of course, True Qi can be a bit more emphasized, but the other three attributes should still be developed in a balanced way. Being overly one-sided is not beneficial."

Liu Menglong felt a bit of a headache. Dragonfly's words were similar to those of the current school system, which aims to cultivate all-around geniuses rather than specialized talents. Unfortunately, a person's energy is ultimately limited, and it's impossible to be all-knowing and all-capable. In the end, being all-around often means being incapable in everything, unlike those who specialize in a single skill.

Although Liu Menglong is now a proud people's teacher, even though he teaches physical education, he still suffered from the school's influence when he was a student. Hearing Dragonfly suggest he be an 'all-around genius,' he instinctively resisted. However, considering Dragonfly's familiarity with the system, he put aside his resistance, nodded, and after some thought, added the 10 remaining points.

After adding the points, Liu Menglong suddenly felt his state become exceptionally good, as if he had endless strength and energy.

He checked his current status:

Liu Menglong: Level 1 (35/200)

Strength: 11

Speed: 11

True Qi: 11

Intelligence: 12

Remaining Points: 0

Talent: Auspicious Sense: Born with the ability to sense good and bad fortune, making it easy to avoid misfortune.

Skill: Wild Punch (1% Beginner): Wild punches can kill an experienced master, with no pattern, leaving the enemy at a loss. Strength and speed increase by 10%, effective for 30 seconds, no cooldown, consumes 5 True Qi per use.

Money: 30

Equipment: Brick (Durability 1/1): A piece of trash, unremarkable, with low destructive power, but very painful when hit. Has a 1% chance to cause a 3-second dizziness when hit on the head.

"About this..." Dragonfly's forehead was sweating profusely upon seeing the numbers.

"Is there a problem?" Liu Menglong was also a bit nervous when he saw Dragonfly's expression.

"Not really," Dragonfly wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered, "I just didn't expect the host to distribute the points so evenly."

"Didn't you say it's better to be balanced!" Although his voice was low, Liu Menglong still heard it clearly, frowned, and said, "You said not to be one-sided, but now you're saying it's too balanced. What are you trying to do?"

"It should be balanced, but not too balanced." Seeing Liu Menglong's dissatisfaction, Dragonfly explained with a hint of委屈 (vexation): "In my opinion, out of the 10 points, 7 should be added to True Qi, and 1 point each to the other three attributes. After all, each level up, the host's four main attributes increase by 5 points each. Strength, speed, and intelligence are already sufficient with the level-up boosts, while the demand for True Qi will certainly increase in the future. Adding more True Qi won't be wrong."

"I see." Liu Menglong nodded in understanding and said, "I will add points this way in the future."

"I'm just suggesting. You don't have to follow my method exactly," Dragonfly quickly added.

Liu Menglong looked at Dragonfly and smiled slightly, "Let's do it this way!"

Dragonfly secretly glanced at Liu Menglong, lowered his eyes, and said, "Okay."

...

After a 24-hour journey, the train finally slowly pulled into Tianfu Station. Just as the train was about to arrive, Chang Chang, who had slept for a day and a night, finally opened her eyes. She stretched and yawned, "I slept so well."

Liu Menglong: "..."

Nalan Ruyue: "..."

Yue Xi's forehead was sweating, and he scratched the back of his head with a 'haha' laugh, "Chang Chang is like this; when she's very sleepy, she can sleep for three days and three nights."

"..."

"Hey." Chang Chang climbed down from the upper bunk, put on her shoes, and extended her hand to Liu Menglong with a sweet and soft smile, "Big brother, hello. My name is Yue Chang, the 'Yue' in 'moon' and the 'Chang' in 'Chang'e.' I am Xi Xi's twin sister."

"Hello." Facing this soft and gentle girl, Liu Menglong felt his bones lighten. He shook Yue Chang's hand, which was also soft and boneless, cool like water.

What a top-notch girl.

Liu Menglong smiled slightly, "I might not be saying something nice, but you and your sister are both very beautiful, just not very similar."

This made Yue Xi huff, "So what if we don't look alike? There are many twins in the world who don't look alike."

"Everyone says that, and Xi Xi and I are used to it," Yue Chang's smile was still soft and gentle, making people feel their bones soften.

She withdrew her hand and extended it to Nalan Ruyue, smiling, "Sister Ruyue, thank you for taking care of Xi Xi on the journey. I was too sleepy and didn't get to chat with you. I'm sorry."

Nalan Ruyue shook her head slightly, made a few hand gestures, and gently held Yue Chang's hand.

"She said it's okay," Liu Menglong translated.

Yue Chang and Nalan Ruyue both smiled gently.

Before getting off the train, Nalan Ruyue put on a pink and white straw hat, pulled down the brim to cover most of her face, and got off the train with Liu Menglong and the Yue sisters.

On the way out of the station, Liu Menglong asked, "Have you booked a hotel?"

"Already booked." Yue Xi's ponytail flicked, and she curiously looked around the Tianfu train station, happily saying, "Big brother, we're going to play in Tianfu for a month. You're the host, can you be our tour guide?"

"I'm afraid I don't have the time," Liu Menglong said with a hint of regret, "But if you encounter any trouble, call me anytime. I'll help if I can."

The two had exchanged contact information on the train, including phone numbers, QQ, and WeChat, making it easy to stay in touch.

"Alright then!" Yue Xi pouted, but then thought of something and asked curiously, "Big brother, aren't you a physical education teacher? Since the school is on break, you shouldn't have work, right?"

"I don't have work," Liu Menglong smiled slightly, "But I want to get a part-time job during the summer to supplement my income."

Although he still had a lot of money in his account, and Long Qingyun sent a substantial living allowance every month, after the assassination attempt, Liu Menglong had already decided to cut ties with the Long family. If it weren't for fear of alerting them, he would have even destroyed the account.

Without Long Qingyun's financial support, the meager salary of a physical education teacher was not enough, especially with Nalan Ruyue to support. A part-time job was necessary.

Fortunately, now with the Dream System, he earned 30 yuan by defeating three bandits on the train. By this logic, as long as he defeated more red-named enemies, he could earn more money. Additionally, working could trigger life skills, which would be very beneficial for Liu Menglong.

"Part-time job?" Yue Xi's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Great! Big brother, since you're working anyway, why don't we pay you to be our tour guide? We won't shortchange you, 50 yuan a day, okay?"

"Cough, cough..." Liu Menglong almost choked, nearly fainting.

The average wage for a worker in Tianfu is over 3,000 yuan, and a hotel server can earn 4,000 to 5,000 yuan a month. Even if he set up a small barbecue stand, he could earn at least 100 to 200 yuan a day. Yue Xi's offer of 50 yuan a day, which would total 1,500 yuan a month, was... Liu Menglong felt like he was being polite by not throwing his luggage at her.

"Really..." Yue Chang covered her mouth and laughed softly, even her laughter was soft and gentle, her eyes smiling like a crescent moon, very cute, "Xi Xi, you're teasing people again."

Yue Xi stuck out her tongue, "What can I do? We're not rich either! Let's just work together then."

"Forget it! I don't dare work with you," Liu Menglong shook his head, looking unwilling.

Yue Xi was unhappy, "What do you mean? What's wrong with working with me? I'm a beautiful girl! Working with me is an honor for you."

Liu Menglong glanced at her, "We're out of the station."

"Hey!" Yue Xi's eyebrows furrowed, and she put her hands on her hips, "Liu Menglong! You're too much! I... sniff, I already have your child, and you treat me like this... I can't live anymore!"

Seeing Yue Xi cover her face and squat down to cry, the surrounding passengers showed sympathy and glared at Liu Menglong with disdain.

"How could he do this to such a young girl? He's despicable."

"He even got the girl pregnant, what a sinner!"

"Damn, no good-looking man has a good heart."

"Beast!"

Hearing the harsh words from the crowd, Liu Menglong's scalp tingled. Yue Xi was really a tough nut to crack, even saying such shameless things. Seeing a few young men 'ready to pounce,' Liu Menglong wished he could knock her out with a brick.
