Chapter 14: Immense Strength Glove
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ke Meng opened his eyes and looked at the left of his bed.
There was a glove with nails mounted on it in a basin. It had the touch of black cow leather and appeared to be rather worn.
Ke Meng was going to get off the bed to look for the big-faced cat, but he saw a furry creature in the room.
"Woof!" the round, furry ball barked.
He looked at the puppy, no, it could no longer be called a puppy. With thick and long golden hair, it looked like its shoulder height was 60 centimeters tall. It had certainly grown taller compared to yesterday.
Its ears were completely covered in fluffy golden hair. Only its mouth, eyes, and nose were shown, and its entire head seemed really round.
There was a lot of hair covering its butt at the back. Only the tip of its tail was showing at the back.
Watching the dog, it complemented an old poem that went 'A dragonfly is already standing on the lotus that has just revealed its tip'.
"I wonder if this guy will grow bigger than a wolf in four days." Ke Meng patted the fluffy dog's head. It looked at him in a pitiful manner and whimpered as though it was asking for dried anchovies.
Ke Meng smiled and tossed a dried anchovy at it.
The dog sprinted over and swallowed the dried anchovy with very agile movements.
Subsequently, Ke Meng took out another dried anchovy. "Feed this dried anchovy to the big-faced cat. Do you know how to feed a cat? Forget it, I'll feed it myself. Your doggy paws aren't suitable for feeding cats."
He was worried that its paws would be swallowed by the big-faced cat, thus he dared not get the dog to try that.
Not only did the big-faced cat eat dried anchovy, but it also ate other food too. Ke Meng tested it when he was shooting the video last time. It ate anything that was made of meat.
He made the right choice of feeding by not stretching his hand into the big-faced cat's mouth.
The dog squatted on the ground as it watched Ke Meng pick up a dried anchovy with chopsticks and put it into the big-faced cat's mouth. It watched his actions with burning desire.
'I'd love to eat that, but Master won't feed me.' The dog whimpered softly again.
Ke Meng tossed two more dried anchovies at it upon seeing the silly dog being so greedy.
The dog finished the two dried anchovies in one bite. It was quick to eat the fish.
Ke Meng stopped feeding it and just let it stare at him pitifully.
When he looked into the big-faced cat's eyes for 15 seconds, new knowledge was added to his head.
The black glove in the basin was called the Immense Strength Glove. The glove would adjust to the user's palm. The person who wore it would gain strength, allowing the user to move an item that was 20 times his bodyweight like a piece of cake. Wearing this glove would not change one's musculature.
Ke Meng thought it was a weighted glove as he obtained the new knowledge.
It would make a great review video material. Ke Meng was thinking of the review content. He could go outside to move heavy stuff, creating a visual comparison of an object.
As he thought about it, would the scene not be shocking if one were to pick up a small car with one hand?
Ke Meng picked up the glove, and it stuck to his hand automatically as soon as his fingers touched the opening. It adjusted automatically, fitting every inch of his skin. When he moved his fingers, there were no obstructions at all. The glove was very light too.
Ke Meng got up and looked around. He noticed that the heaviest thing in the room was his bed.
He walked to the side of his bed and held the bed leg of the wooden bed with his right hand. He looked like he was holding a piece of ham, whereby he lifted it a meter high just like that. There was no interference at all.
The blanket, pillow, and other stuff on the bed tilted due to the bed being picked up. All of them rolled to the other side.
Ke Meng put down the bed leg. He put the blanket and pillow that were rolled away back where they belonged.
'This glove is amazing!' he secretly exclaimed.
If one's weight was used as the factor, the evil god's tentacles could move items that were 20 times the evil god's weight too.
The image appeared when Ke Meng imagined Cthulhu using a tentacle to move something heavier than his body weight.
So, what was the use of the glove?
It did not seem to be useful at all to a boss.
Cthulhu was the ultimate boss Himself. Having strength 20 times His weight was an insignificant gain to Him. The harm from the tentacles was countless times higher than that insignificant strength value.
Ke Meng clenched his right fist. Although this glove was useless to a boss, it was useful to regular people and players, thus it was considered a rare item.
However, the Immense Strength Glove's calculation was based on a person's weight. The players' weight change was minimal. Therefore, the potential of increment in value was limited.
Ke Meng thought to himself, 'Would the weight from the equipment be calculated following one's weight range?'
He picked up a signing pen to write as he thought. Never had he thought the black pen would be crushed by the immense strength.
He removed the Immense Strength Glove and used another pen to document in his little notebook.
"Will the exterior weight added to a person's weight affect the strength gain of the glove respectively?"
Ke Meng put on the glove and picked up a chair with his left hand. He went to the living room and stood on the weighing machine. His body weight had gained at least 5 kilograms.
Unfortunately, he did not have a great way of testing his strength value. He put that aside and checked the big-faced cat's video data.
He logged onto B Site to check the video. The strange review video Ke Meng made now had 28,000 views.
There were over 3,000 people that had liked it, as well as many people who had donated coins to him.
He called out to his system, and noticed that 11,000 people had viewed the video. The mission was completed.
Ke Meng clicked to redeem his reward.
Ding.
"Resistance +1"
"Current resistance: 2"
It would mean that before gaining the resistance from the mission, Ke Meng already had some resistance before. Perhaps '1' was a regular person's basic value.
After completing the mission, he had gained a little more resistance, so his resistance was higher compared to regular people now.
At that moment, there was a live update on the missions that he could choose from. There were two more choices added.
"Normal mission: Make a review video of a strange item. The review video must be viewed by at least 10,000 people. Reward: Resistance +1."
"Difficult mission: Make a review video of a strange item. The review video must be viewed by at least 100,000 people. Reward: Shadow Catcher."
There was a difficult mission added this time. Ke Meng looked at the normal mission and the difficult mission back and forth.
He thought about it for ten seconds, then he went for the difficult mission.
The normal mission disappeared immediately while the difficult mission was stated on the mission list.
"Must be viewed by 100,000 people. I can try achieving that," Ke Meng mumbled.
The review video of the Immense Strength Glove that he was going to make was a gimmick too. The attention he gained from the last video was ongoing, so he could upload a new review video to ride on the fame.
After accepting the new mission, Ke Meng was very interested in the difficult mission's reward.
'What's this Shadow Catcher skill? Can I catch shadows with it? Or does it have other functions?'
At that moment, a spraying noise that went 'psst' came outside the window again.
Ke Meng walked to the window. He saw Mrs. Chen doing a simple disinfection on the street outside the convenience store with a bottle of disinfectant.
Although it was morning at the moment, the sun was not out. Gloomy dark clouds covered Whale City, so the entire street seemed rather dark.
Mrs. Chen was focused on disinfecting the front of the store. Whether it was because of the dark sky or something else, the shadows beneath her feet were very faint as if she had no shadow.
