Chapter 166: As A Wife I Will Beat You UP
"Miss Irene, if this is life-threatening, then you should better not tell us," Li Wei stated with a serious tone, stopping Irene from continuing further.
In response, Irene pouted at him with a cute look.
"Brother Wei, I am their sister-in-law, so there's no way I will tell them something life-threatening. It's just a little dangerous, so there is no need to worry. Also, stop overprotecting them or, as a wife, I will beat you up," she replied with a scolding, leaving Li Wei dumfounded.
'Did I wake up in the wrong world or dimension?' Li Wei thought, feeling depressed as Li Xin and others looked at him with a smirk, imagining him getting beaten up by a rolling pin.
"Sister Li, don't you think it will be great if you beat him up with a rolling pin or spatula?" Alice suggested with a whisper, imagining Li Wei getting beaten up by cute little sister.
However, to her surprise, Li Xin shook her head.
"It's the job of sister-in-law, not mine, so let her do it, I will be just cute little sister who is going to trouble him," she replied as if it was nothing, making Alice stunned at her.
But before she could ask something, Irene resumed the topic with an embarrassed expression.
"Ahem, let's continue where we left off. Also, Brother Wei, you are not allowed to interrupt me again," she stated, looking at him with a pout before resuming the subject with a serious expression.
"Let's say you have an attribute limit of 1000 points, and you increased it to the max. However, your usable attributes are only 500 points. Can anyone tell me why?" she inquired, glancing at Li Xin and others who were a little stunned at the unexpected question.
But it wasn't something hard, and even the low-intelligence Alice knew it.
"Sister-in-law, it's because our spirit points are less," Alice answered with a proud expression, doing a great job.
While hearing this, Irene nodded at her.
"Yes, Sister Alice, you are right. We aren't able to use all of our attributes because our spirit points are less, which changes our soul to align with the strength of the body. But without enough alignment, we can't use our full attributes. So, what we have to do is increase the spirit points," she explained, making everyone a little stunned.
While hearing this, Li Wei nodded thoughtfully.
'As I thought, there is a way to increase the spirit points, but there is no mention of it in the library, and no one talks about it,' he pondered, confirming his guess and glanced at his party members.
They also reached the same conclusion as him because there was once a talk about it. Of course, Alice and Lily were exceptions as they were focused on the food at that time and didn't care too much, so they were wearing an unbelieving expression.
But Irene didn't care about this and continued.
"As you might know, to increase the spirit attribute, you need to level up, but there is a way to do it without leveling up, and that is to exceed your limits," she explained, making everyone dumbfounded.
They all were trying to get their usable attributes higher because they didn't want to exceed the limits and lose control, but Irene was saying the opposite.
"Miss Irene, this is too dangerous even if it works," Li Wei replied, shaking his head at this method.
While hearing him, Irene nodded.
"I know, Brother Wei, this is dangerous but not life-threatening, if you only use a certain number of attributes. Let's say if 500 points is our usable limit, then we can exceed it to 501, then 502, and further without losing control."
"However, when doing this, you will need a subclass of Necromancer, and that is Shadowcaster class which has a special class skill Soul Preservation. This skill is very important as it will lock your soul at the previous state so even if you accidentally exceed by a lot of points, it won't even cause you any harm for a certain amount of time," Irene explained.
Hearing this, Li Wei nodded with relief and looked at her, knowing there was more to it.
After all, the dark faction possessed a lot of necromancers, and if it was the only thing needed, then they would be ruling everywhere. However, that wasn't the case, and just as he expected, Irene continued.
"Now, the most important part is how to increase your Spirit attribute. It's very simple; you just have to find a person who can see spirits and is able to command them to resonate with your soul to raise your Spirit attribute."
"The spirits are special entities, so it is easy for them to do this, but it takes a certain time, and there is a limit of 1000 points per month for a single person," Irene finished her explanation, making Li Wei speechless, but Li Xin's eyes shined brightly at this.
"Sister-in-law, aren't you able to see the spirits? Then what we have to find is just a necromancer, right? But where can we find one?" Li Xin asked, feeling dejected.
The necromancer class was something rare as no one wanted someone in their party to carry dead bodies with them.
Elva and others also became dejected, knowing the rarity of necromancers, when Alice suggested something.
"What if someone among us becomes one?" she said, making everyone stunned, but before anyone could say something, Irene rejected her idea.
"Alice, becoming a Shadowcaster isn't easy, more so you have to complete the third class to get the Soul Preservation skill. By any means, the class quests aren't something you can complete easily. Of course, it's a different matter if your father owns a big graveyard," Irene replied with a nonchalant tone as if it was nothing.
But after hearing her, Alice became pale, while Li Xin became depressed and looked at Irene with pitiful eyes.
"Sister-in-law, you told us about this, so you have to give us someone who can use this skill," she requested with big eyes, making Irene chuckle at her.
"Don't worry, Sister XinXin. I do know someone who has this skill and class, but we have to use a different way to get her to work for us. However, there is no need to worry because Brother Wei is best for this job," she replied, pointing at Li Wei and giving him a bad feeling.
"Miss Irene, why am I best for this job? Also, who is the person you are talking about?" Li Wei inquired with a cautious look.
Watching him like this, Irene glared at him.
"Brother Wei, why so many questions? It's not like your wife is going to sell you," she replied, making Li Wei speechless.
'Miss Irene, you are not my wife, so what if you really sold me?' Li Wei protested inwardly, but he didn't say anything as he received a glare from everyone else.
'Ugh, you guys, why are you believing in her too much?' he thought with depression when Irene decided to move to the next topic.
"Sisters, you all don't need to worry about this, just leave it to me. Also, we should get to the next topic," Irene announced and continued.
"Now you all know how to increase your attributes, then we should talk about what kinds of skills you should have."
"The first one I will recommend is having a Multi-Thinking skill that will help you with simultaneous skill casting, critical thinking, and much more. There are also skills like teleportation, swift movement, and such," Irene explained in brief, telling them about everything.
While Li Wei asked his clone not to bring monsters here immediately as everyone was focused on Irene's lesson, because of this the time passed silently, and when Irene finished her lesson, it was already mealtime.
"Sisters, there is still a lot of things to teach, but we will do that tomorrow. How about it?" Irene suggested with pitiful look and teary eyes.
Watching her like this, they all became speechless; however, everyone agreed with a nod.
"Sister-in-law, then teach us tomorrow. Also, let's have a meal, I am hungry," Li Xin replied, patting her empty stomach.
"Okay, Sister XinXin, I am hungry too," Irene nodded and looked at Li Wei, who was still playing with Lily's hair while pondering something.
"Brother Wei, you should think of your future wives later and serve your current wife and cute sister first," she said with a cute pout, making Li Wei exasperated.
But he didn't even bother thinking and took out a packed lunch from his item box while giving it to everyone.
Nothing happened when they were having a meal except making Li Wei feel alienated as no one was talking to him.
But he was at fault here because he didn't talk with Elva and others unless he has a certain reason.
Of course, Lily was an exception, but she too wasn't talking to him. As for Li Xin and Irene, they were busy in their imaginary family relationship.
