Chapter 46: Making Up for Lack of Talent with Extra Effort
Swallowing Star World, Mingyue Community, third floor of the villa.
Wang Kun opened the system interface in his mind.

Looking at the attribute points gained this time, Wang Kun realized that the new points would not significantly boost his strength.
So far, his power still remained at the Planetary Level Stage 1. In other words, during the three years spent in the previous real world, his strength had only grown marginally.
Of course, those three years were not without returns. In that time, he had learned to manipulate the Sky Shuttle for attacks at a basic level.
Although his talent was not enough to train the Sky Shuttle’s first form, merely controlling its standard form for attacks produced power far greater than SS-class weapons.
As for when he could train the Sky Shuttle’s first form, Wang Kun could only leave it to fate.
Nevertheless, Wang Kun set himself a goal: to enhance his talent, comprehension, and bloodline.
His strength was already considerable. Although in the Swallowing Star World, Planetary Level Stage 1 was hardly impressive, with the ability to teleport, he could handle danger easily.
If he couldn’t win a fight, no one could stop him from escaping.
As for those King-sealing Immortals capable of locking space-time, unless he left the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, he was unlikely to encounter them.
After all, the ruler of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire was merely a regular immortal.
King-sealing Immortals were still far beyond Wang Kun at this stage.
With this in mind, Wang Kun immediately allocated the 200 attribute points he had gained in this instance to the Talent category.
The Talent stat changed from 0 to 200.
“I wonder how much this 200-point boost will actually improve my talent.”
The strength of one’s talent directly affected cultivation speed.
For example, Luo Feng could sense universal energy after just a few hours of training, whereas Wang Kun took several years.
The gap was enormous.
As for comprehension, Wang Kun still didn’t know what it corresponded to.
He did know about bloodline, though. In the Swallowing Star World, the quality of one’s bloodline determined their growth ceiling.
For instance, a high-bloodline Golden Horned Beast would become a Domain Lord simply by reaching adulthood, even without cultivation.
Meanwhile, Earth’s humans only reached Apprentice Level upon maturity—at Apprentice Level 1, no less.
Clearly, bloodline had a massive impact on strength.
Fortunately, Wang Kun had his system cheat. If talent and bloodline weren’t enough, he could just add points.
After returning to the Swallowing Star World, Wang Kun spent a month living a leisurely, idle life.
Compared to Wang Kun’s laid-back days, the protagonist Luo Feng was training diligently.
However, Wang Kun knew that according to the current plot progression, Luo Feng would not reach the Elite Training Camp of the Extreme Martial Hall for several more months.
On November 16th, the system’s travel cooldown ended, and Wang Kun’s idle gaming days in the Swallowing Star World came to a close.
With a swirl of time and space, Wang Kun appeared on a bustling street.
The passersby, coming and going, seemed not to notice his sudden appearance.
“Equator! Hmm, this world seems to have a suitable target for using the Death Soldier Card.”
Wang Kun quickly recalled the main plot of the Equator instance and found there was a female assassin similar to Xia Tian.
This female assassin was a cold-blooded killer in the Equator international crime syndicate.
According to the Death Soldier Card’s requirements, this female assassin fit perfectly.
As for the portable nuclear bomb developed by that certain country, Wang Kun knew it would be an easy matter to handle.
With that thought, Wang Kun immediately found a secluded spot and summoned the female assassin Xia Tian.
“You, go to the police and investigate Equator and the portable nuclear bomb. If there’s any news, notify me at once.”
“Yes, Master!” The female assassin Xia Tian didn’t ask why—she simply remembered Wang Kun’s instructions, and with a flash, vanished before him.
It must be said, having subordinates was a blessing. Whenever he had something to do, all he needed was a word, and Xia Tian would carry it out without hesitation.
Moreover, his subordinates were all incredibly attractive women.
Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Hong Kong Island police, in a spacious conference room, nearly every functional department of Hong Kong Island was assembled.
“This is Chief Inspector Wang Jianzhong. Apart from myself, he will fully coordinate the crisis team’s operations.”
“Everyone, based on the latest intelligence, Equator has transported the DC8 super bomb to Hong Kong Island and is preparing to trade with a group of underground buyers.”
“These buyers are extremely cunning. According to our sources, we have pinpointed two locations. The Criminal Intelligence Division has already begun work. Before departure, I ask the Hospital Authority to assess emergency measures for this operation.”
“Wang Sir, according to your preliminary risk assessment, our medical system may not withstand this incident, but the Hospital Authority will do its best to cooperate.”
After the Hospital Authority’s report, other departments—Water Supplies, Transport, Fire Services—also presented their own situations.
But the final answer was the same: Hong Kong Island’s current capacity would have great difficulty surviving a crisis caused by the bomb.
Once all department heads had spoken, Equator—disguised as Dr. Zhao Zhiren, a physics professor at Hong Kong Island University—offered his own advice.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I am Zhao Zhiren, advisor to the crisis team. Based on your reports, handling this with a Daya Bay-style emergency response is absolutely correct.”
“DC8 is a handheld weapon developed unilaterally by Korea. No one knows its true power.”
“In my opinion, this weapon is extremely dangerous.”
“Since the police are confident in intercepting this weapon, I have one suggestion for everyone: during the interception, make sure no bullet strikes it; otherwise, nobody can predict what might happen.”
“But one thing is certain—it will affect the weapon’s stability.”
“Additionally, if the interception succeeds, it must be sent away immediately. This weapon absolutely must not remain on Hong Kong Island.”
