Moreover, if I don’t choose, the consequences of the other two options are quite severe, especially the second one. If I were to choose it, I would indeed spend a desolate life in solitude just as described in the option. I can be absolutely certain of this because with every option that Zhang Yanhang has encountered so far, as long as he makes a choice, it will definitely come true.
That is the real power of Multiple Choice. No matter how absurd the options are, as long as Zhang Yanhang selects one, it will manifest in this world as the correct answer destined to be realized. Compared to that, functions like Time Pause are just minor additional features.
"So, the answer is clear; I choose Option One and take the position of Heavenly Destiny Master," Zhang Yanhang made his choice, and Time Pause immediately ceased, while a barrage of messages popped up before his eyes like an information overload.
[Congratulations on obtaining the profession ’Heavenly Destiny Master’.]
[Successfully taking the position of ’Heavenly Destiny Master’, the Multiple Choice Talent has been enhanced.]
[Successfully taking the position of ’Heavenly Destiny Master’, free attribute points talent coefficient +2.]
[Automatically completed incomplete upgrade benefits, free attribute points +12.]
[Congratulations on acquiring the skill ’Gun Master’.]
[Congratulations on acquiring the skill ’Fighting Master’.]
[Congratulations on acquiring the skill ’Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil’.]
[Congratulations on acquiring the skill ’Technique Immunity’.]
"I’ve acquired so many things all at once..." Because he had just received so many items, Zhang Yanhang decided to check them one by one in order.
"First up is the effect of the Multiple Choice Talent. I didn’t expect that it would be enhanced for the first time just a month after awakening. According to information released by the Empire, normally an Awakener’s superpower is only enhanced when they are promoted in rank, but I just took a position and I’ve already received an enhancement."
As the foundation on which he established himself, Zhang Yanhang first checked the effect of his Multiple Choice Talent.
[Quality: ??? (F-EX)]
[Ability One: Single Choice (details require self-exploration).]
[Ability Two: Autonomous Choice—if there are no options, create your own questions (details require self-exploration).]
[Ability Three: ??? (Yet to be unlocked).]
"Hm? Autonomous Choice? What’s that?" Zhang Yanhang looked at the limited information and felt that Autonomous Choice probably allowed him to establish the questions he wanted to choose from.
"If that’s the case, then I should try it a bit... Choose! How can I achieve world peace?" After stating his question, Zhang Yanhang waited—one second, two seconds, three seconds—but even after a minute or two, there was still no reaction.
"Is there a problem with how I’m using it, or is this choice too difficult?" Zhang Yanhang felt that it was mostly because the question he created was too challenging. He might need to try a simpler question to test this Autonomous Choice ability. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
"Choose! What should I eat for lunch today?" The moment the question left his lips, Zhang Yanhang felt a slight loss of Spiritual Energy within him, and time once again came to a halt.
[What should I eat for lunch today?]
[Option One: Dog Meat Hot Pot (having recalled what you mentioned before, you decide to go downstairs and eat dog meat hot pot immediately).]
[Option Two: Revolving Hot Pot (while on your way to the dog meat hot pot, you notice a self-service revolving hot pot restaurant by the road. The you who wanted to eat dog meat hot pot suddenly thinks that maybe a normal hot pot might be good too).]
[Option Three: Skip Lunch (due to laziness to go out and you not feeling hungry after just waking up, you opt to skip lunch with the plan to order takeout in the afternoon if you get hungry).]
"So it really was because the question was too difficult, and it seems that Autonomous Choice actually consumes Energy Value." The passive choice-triggered options that Zhang Yanhang encountered before didn’t cost any Energy Value, but this newly gained Autonomous Choice was no longer such a free deal.
"I’ll leave this Autonomous Choice to be studied in detail later. After all, it’s not something I can understand in a short period of time. Let’s check out the other things now. I choose Option Three, to skip lunch."
As the option had stated, Zhang Yanhang had just woken up and didn’t feel hungry at all, so he wasn’t in a rush to eat.
"I remember seeing something about attribute point adjustment before." As he spoke, Zhang Yanhang pulled up the message again.
[Successfully taking the position of ’Heavenly Destiny Master’, free attribute points talent coefficient +2.]
[Automatically completed incomplete upgrade benefits, free attribute points +12.]
"Wow, that instantly gave me 12 attribute points, which is like leveling up three times for free."
Moreover, what’s more important, if he wasn’t misunderstanding, the true meaning of this message was that from now on, he would receive 6 free attribute points every time he leveled up—a direct 50% increase compared to before.
"This way of strengthening myself is so straightforward and crude, but I like it." Zhang Yanhang had always believed that one who could break all techniques with sheer force was a true strong person. Strong people should dominate others with power, forcefully suppressing everything, so a faster increase in physical attributes would shorten the time needed to achieve this target.
"I seem to recall the prompt also mentioning I had obtained four new skills..." Thinking of this, Zhang Yanhang directly opened his data panel to take a look.
