Chapter 31: Infusion of the Stars
"21 Great Grade Sword …"
A famous sword of the same level as Wado Ichimonji…
'This level of danger should be much lower than attacking the Celestial Dragons' ships, right?' Vivian thought to himself.
Having suffered many times due to not having a good sword, he was undoubtedly tempted at this moment.
As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without risking your head.
Always playing it safe, when will he truly become strong?
Therefore, when it's time to be brave, one must be a little brave.
So he chose the most difficult option among the three.
"I say, if I can help heal your grandfather's injury, can you give me a sword for free?" Vivian said.
Hearing this, Lamor's hand, which was forging iron, paused slightly. He then turned his head and looked at Vivian with great confusion, "Heal the injury? What injury? My grandfather's external wounds have long healed."
The wounds from the sword had already scabbed over. His grandfather's biggest problem now was the toxins in his body.
Due to long-term erosion by drugs, the old man's intelligence and mobility had shown signs of decline, which made Lamor even think about perishing together with the local gang.
But he knew he couldn't do that.
Because if he was gone, no one would take care of his grandfather.
So, he set a goal for himself: to endure all this, accompany his grandfather until the day he dies, and then find a way to sacrifice his life to make those damned guys pay with blood!
Ignoring Lamor's confusion, Vivian walked straight to the bed, stretched out his left hand, and aimed his palm at the old man's crippled right leg.
A faint green glow emanated from Vivian's hand, then floated towards the old man, covering his leg.
[You used "Infusion of the Stars", Spirit -10]
As the prompt box popped up, the old man's previously healed wound was torn open again, with bones and flesh extending bit by bit from the broken part. This shocking scene left all the navy present with their mouths wide open, unable to speak for a long time.
Especially Lamor.
He was ready to grab a sword and fight Vivian, but after seeing this miraculous scene, his brain instantly went into a state of shock.
"This navy…"
Could he be a god?
Meanwhile, after consuming 10 points of energy, seeing that the old man's leg had only grown about one-third, Vivian immediately used the skill twice more.
[You used "Infusion of the Stars", Spirit -10]

[Current remaining spirit: 28]
A slight fatigue hit his mind.
With only 60 points of spirit, Vivian suddenly used up half of his energy, making him yawn and want to sleep.
No way, limb regeneration is already quite fantastical, so it makes sense to consume more energy. The only regret is that it can't be used to heal himself, which made Vivian sigh again.
"Alright, for now, this is the best I can do. I can't detoxify his body. We'll have to wait until we catch those gang members."
Although he had the bonus of medical experience points, it was only at a low level. To identify the toxin and formulate the corresponding antidote was undoubtedly a stretch.
However, hearing this, Lamor's expression became strange.
"Why…" he began.
"Why what?"
Just as Vivian was about to leave, he turned to look at Lamor.
"Why help us?"
"Didn't I say? I want you to forge a sword for me for free."
And to get the system's reward, so I can have two swords to switch between.
A sharp sword and a great sword, to be used sparingly. As long as I don't provoke the Four Emperors or the Seven Warlords, they should last until the end, right?
With that, without waiting for Lamor to say anything else, he left a sentence, "I'll come back for the sword after getting the antidote," and left the factory with a group of soldiers.
Lamor watched the backs of the navy, his eyes moist, lost in thought for a long time.
…
Inside the Tavern,
"I need to find a place to sleep for a while."
Having not seen each other for more than a week, Kuto immediately complained upon hearing Vivian's words, "You just got here and you want to sleep? Don't you want to try some local specialties?"
At this moment, he was holding two large roasted meat bones, a stark contrast to his usual refined demeanor, with his mouth full of oil, looking like a starving ghost reincarnated.
This made many female soldiers, who had a good impression of him due to his looks, subconsciously show expressions of disdain.
"No, you eat by yourself." Vivian yawned again and looked at Captain Smoker, "By the way, Captain Smoker, if there are gang organizations here, can we arrest them?"
"Gang organizations?"
Still holding two cigars in his mouth, Smoker put down the newspaper and replied, "Of course, we can arrest them. Although we are the navy, as long as we want to, we have the right to arrest people."
"I see."
Vivian nodded, then organized his words and quickly recounted what he had just heard from Lamor to Smoker.
After listening, Smoker touched his silver hair, "Indeed, it needs to be managed. But I have a question, you usually don't like to deal with such things, why the sudden change?"
He recalled two years ago when he saved Vivian on the ship, this guy almost lost his life because of a fire rescue.
Since then, after joining the navy, Vivian became timid, always finding excuses to avoid difficult tasks.
Even when forced to go to sea with the army, he would hide at the end of the team, occasionally offering advice, but never taking the initiative.
This made Smoker feel a bit regretful.
With decent talent and amazing physical fitness, it's a pity he's too timid. Otherwise, he would have recommended him to the headquarters.
"Alright, I'll sleep for a while, wake me up when you finish gathering information." Vivian said.
With that, he turned around, found a comfortable spot, laid his uniform on the ground, and fell asleep.
Smoker and Kuto looked at each other.
But Tashigi watched this scene, deep in thought.
"That ability to regenerate limbs must be very taxing on the body, right?"
"Maybe it has some serious side effects…"
Vivian…
He's really a very nice guy.
