The most direct impact of this incident was that everyone began to avoid looking at Luo Yuan. Instead, they were filled with fear and respect.
During lunch, when Luo Yuan asked Ning Xiaoran where she was from, she was so scared that she immediately stood up. Her voice was trembling and she spoke incoherently. Luo Yuan could not stand it anymore, so he asked Huo Dong about it. Huo Dong was usually good at creating a good atmosphere, but now he was nervous and helpless, which made Luo Yuan feel bored.
In fact, the shock in everyone's hearts was much greater than what Luo Yuan had imagined.
Although the giant lizard looked very miserable, with its front legs short and a huge wound on its chest, there were all kinds of old and new injuries densely packed together. It looked like it could fall at any time. However, its huge body and oppressive aura were enough to intimidate people. Just looking at it from afar was enough to make people feel weak in their limbs, let alone getting close to it. As for fighting, it could only be imagined in their dreams, and most of them were nightmares.
As for Luo Yuan, who was able to tame the gigantic beast, he was obviously a more terrifying existence than the beast itself. Needless to say, the wounds on the gigantic beast were caused by him. Otherwise, how could he have tamed the gigantic beast?
A man who was more ferocious than the mutated beast. Even standing near him made people feel pressured.
In the past, people only knew that Luo Yuan was strong, but they did not have a direct impression of him. After all, they had only seen Luo Yuan kill one person, and the other battles they had seen were all fought by Wang Shishi. Many people even thought that Wang Shishi was stronger than Luo Yuan. After all, no matter how strong Luo Yuan was, he only killed people, while Wang Shishi killed mutated beasts.
This point of view was quite popular among women. Usually, some people would argue about this issue endlessly, and no one could convince the other. But now that this giant beast had appeared, all the arguments immediately ceased.
After lunch, Luo Yuan lay on the deck chair by the door with his eyes closed. The afternoon sun shone on him, making him feel sleepy.
He kept thinking about the problem of his Will and his future development.
Even the System was a little secretive about Willpower. There were only a few pieces of information about it, but he could instinctively feel that Willpower would become stronger as time went on. It might even gradually surpass the other attributes. However, how to train his Willpower was a problem.
Relying on the system to level up … was simply too slow. The amount of EXP required for each level increased exponentially. However, his own strength was far from being able to keep up with the multiplication of EXP, causing his leveling speed to become slower and slower.
When he was level 6, he could already deal with blue level mutated beasts. Now that he was level 7, he could only deal with blue level mutated beasts. As for dark blue level mutated beasts, he had no confidence at all.
It seemed that he could only rely on his own training. In terms of flexibility, willpower was the most flexible, or perhaps even perception.
Luo Yuan realized that Sensory Perception was also very important. The stronger the Sensory Perception, the easier it would be to control the mutated beasts in battle. Most of the time, the attacks of the mutated beasts could not be captured by the naked eye. Of course, Dexterity was also indispensable. After all, if he could not defeat the mutated beasts, he would at least have to escape quickly. Since he needed Dexterity, he would definitely run out of stamina after running for a while. If he had stronger Strength, he would be even stronger in a short distance sprint.
Luo Yuan felt a headache coming on. He quickly pulled his thoughts back. All the attributes seemed to be indispensable, except for Intelligence. It was not the era of order anymore. The era of Intelligence had ended. Physical strength was more effective and immediate in this precarious post-apocalyptic world.
"Forget it, forget it. Let's find a way to improve my Willpower first." Luo Yuan flicked the cigarette butt away. He closed his eyes and rocked back and forth on the deck chair, enjoying the rare moment of leisure.
The giant lizard saw that Luo Yuan seemed to have fallen asleep from afar. It immediately stood up and circled around the area carefully. When it saw that Luo Yuan did not have any intention to care about it, it started running happily.
It ran further and further away. As it ran, it would sometimes growl and sometimes howl in anger. The surrounding mutated beasts kept responding to it, making the place very lively.
Luo Yuan opened his eyes slightly and looked at the strange behavior of the giant lizard. He guessed that it was probably announcing its territory to the surrounding people.
The growl lasted for half an hour before it stopped. Soon, the low-level mutated beasts in the community were in trouble. The hungry giant lizard had already begun to patrol its territory.
Even though one of its legs was broken and its speed was greatly reduced, it did not affect its hunting ability at all.
In the Cretaceous Era, a Velociraptor with an injured leg would have starved to death. However, such a thing was not suitable for the current mutated creatures. In the post-apocalyptic world, there was a great disparity between the levels of creatures. Every level was separated by a deep chasm.
Moreover, the low-level mutated beasts in the community were white level, which was two levels lower than the giant lizard. Many of the low-level mutated beasts were paralyzed on the ground before it could even get close to them. Even if they could struggle, most of them were like headless flies, scurrying around. Some of them even knocked into rocks and fainted.
The giant lizard was not a picky eater. Perhaps it was because it had been starving for a long time, so it basically ate whatever it saw. It even swallowed some of the mutated beasts that looked poisonous without hesitation. The whole process of eating lasted for a full two hours. Only when its stomach was round did it finally stop. This meal had caused all the low-level mutated beasts in the community to be combed through.
This was the advantage of having a territory. Basically, there was no need to worry about the source of food.
Rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrows. This herbivore's mentality of self-preservation was not suitable for predators. Just like before the apocalypse, every pride hunted in a fixed territory. If an unfamiliar male lion wanted to pass by, he would have to be prepared for war, or he would have to be prepared for it.
The giant lizard's stomach was so full that it could not stand steadily. The wound on its chest that had just healed swelled again. Fresh red blood flowed out again, but it did not seem to care. It lay lazily on the grass not far from the villa, snoring in satisfaction.
The man and the beast laid there until the evening.
The whole afternoon, Luo Yuan still could not come up with a solution. Willpower was a spiritual enhancement. If the method was not right, it would be useless no matter how hard one tried.
Luo Yuan asked Huang Jiahui this question when he was about to go to bed. He had thought that Huang Jiahui would not have a good solution, but she answered without thinking, "It's easy to strengthen your Willpower. Do something that you don't want to do. For example, you can quit smoking!"
Huang Jiahui had a teasing look on her face when she said this. She did not think that Luo Yuan would really listen to her. She knew how difficult it was for a man to quit smoking. Her mother had been fighting with her father for more than 10 years. Even when they had lost contact with each other, they still had not quit smoking.
She did not expect Luo Yuan to nod seriously. He did not look like he was joking. "What else?"
"Take a cold shower in winter!" Wang Shishi joined the conversation.
"That doesn't count," Luo Yuan said. Taking a cold shower was nothing to him, and it could not strengthen his Willpower. Besides, it was winter now, so it was not really winter anymore.
"Then stop drinking," Wang Shishi said.
"Have you ever seen me drink?" Luo Yuan asked with a smile.
"Not really. What about abstinence?" Wang Shishi suddenly asked. Luo Yuan was not sure if it was intentional or not.
There was a sudden silence. Luo Yuan felt Huang Jiahui pinching his arm. He quickly said, "That's a normal requirement. I changed it."
"Then switch off the lights and watch a horror movie!" Wang Shishi said excitedly. She used to love watching horror movies, but whenever there was a sound, she would close her eyes until the end of the movie.
"Fear!" Wang Shishi's careless words gave Luo Yuan a hint. He mumbled to himself and realized something. Willpower was the ability to control one's desires, to do things that one did not want to do, and to do things that one did not dare to do. Compared to quitting smoking, which took a long time to achieve results, struggling in fear was the best way to improve one's Willpower.
"Did something happen? Why do I feel like you're acting strange?" Huang Jiahui asked. Luo Yuan had been acting strangely that day, which made her feel uneasy.
"Don't think too much, I'm fine." Luo Yuan felt that understanding the importance of Willpower was good for both of them, so he said, "I recently realized that Willpower is very mysterious. It's almost omnipotent."
Luo Yuan looked at Huang Jiahui's confused face and said jokingly, "For example, if I want light in the room, there will be light."
"You're not God. Stop joking and go to sleep." Huang Jiahui could not help but laugh.
"Brother Luo is going to be God!" Wang Shishi kicked the blanket and shouted heartlessly.
"Alright! Don't be surprised when the time comes! " Luo Yuan was a little angry. He took a deep breath and quickly calmed himself down. He focused his mind and a strong telekinesis covered the small space. The air suddenly became restless.
Huang Jiahui and Wang Shishi's expressions froze, their eyes filled with doubt.
Then, they heard Luo Yuan say word by word. His voice sounded like it came from the bottom of his heart. Every word was loud and clear.
"I said, let there be light!"
The last "Light" word was still echoing in the air when a dazzling light suddenly lit up in the darkness. It filled every corner of the space and lit up the 60-square-meter bedroom as bright as day. Not even the slightest speck of dust could be seen!
Huang Jiahui and Wang Shishi could not believe it. Combined with Luo Yuan's words, the scene was like a miracle, with a holy atmosphere.
The light lasted for more than 30 seconds until Luo Yuan's Willpower was half used up. Then, the bedroom was covered in darkness again.
After a long time, Huang Jiahui whispered, "That was magic, wasn't it? Where are the props? "
"Brother Luo, was it really magic?" Wang Shishi asked disappointedly, believing that it was real.
Luo Yuan was also shocked. Even he did not expect the light to really appear. Although it only lasted for half a minute and did not cause any harm, the shock it gave him was even stronger than when the knife appeared.
"I'll go take a look. Where are the props?" Wang Shishi thought that Luo Yuan did not say anything. She took Luo Yuan's phone and jumped off the bed to look around.
"Shishi, don't look, you won't find them. This is the power of Willpower! " Luo Yuan stopped her as he came back to his senses. He stretched out a finger and shook it. The next moment, the tip of his finger started to shine brighter and brighter, like a small sun had appeared.
Huang Jiahui reached out her hand towards Luo Yuan's glowing fingertip, as if she wanted to feel the light. "It doesn't seem to be warm."
She sounded like she was moaning.
"Of course, you can have the temperature if you want," Luo Yuan said, trying his best to remain calm.
As soon as he finished his sentence, Huang Jiahui felt a trace of warmth from the light. Then, the temperature started to rise, and the surface of the light ball started to emit a faint flame.
Even without direct contact, Huang Jiahui could feel the heat from Luo Yuan's fingertip.
What confused her was that Luo Yuan did not seem to be affected by the heat at all.
In the dazzling light, Huang Jiahui did not notice that a thin layer of Willpower was tightly attached to the surface of his skin, blocking the heat.
