Since stats affect the base, I wonder if strength training will improve your effective strength or if that base is actually locked in after getting a system.

2024-09-13 05:14:45 +0000 UTCWell, that's a chapter title. > I awoke to the sound of angry hissing. The sort of violent whisper people make when they really want to be screaming at each other, but would prefer not to air their dirty laundry in front of half the village. Oh, my. > "Screw the baron. With a Mark like that, Robin could replace him." > "Ssh! For goodness' sake, don't say that sort of thing out loud, even in jest!" Heh. > By clearing a dungeon and buying us out of serfdom, Robin would be declaring himself openly, but we'd have no support and no protection. At that point, it wouldn't just be the baron who was interested. Robin would attract forces from outside the canton, and maybe even the kingdom, benign and malign alike. We'd likely be kidnapped within the week, used as hostages to control him. Oh, my. > Such thoughts as someone kidnapping my parents in order to, for example, force me into a slave contract Oh, wow. > The next morning, I ate breakfast—happy to find that even at a measly two, my Strength made our black bread slightly more edible—and spent a quiet day weeding.

Eight-hour workdays are long enough already without accelerating my thinking speed." Robin didn't say anything about increasing Processing specifically, Simon. > Besides, I doubt a dungeon would contain nothing but slimes. ...Was that a reference to A Lonely Dungeon? > Stats were just an improvement over one's base, and my base was a sixteen-year-old uneducated kid So Stats are actually a measure of how much more you are than what you were, rather than being an absolute measure of strength? Huh. > "Okay... What if I have a quiet word with Dad while Mum isn't around... I'll get him to find me a dungeon without mentioning you. You handle the weapons without mentioning me. We can sneak in a few times after harvest. No-one else needs to know." Ah, so *that's* what the chapter title refers to.
