Chapter 4 (2/2)

“Four days?”

Dave frowned.

“Austin, it’s not that I don’t want to approve it. You know that we have a tight schedule.”

“In our line of work, we may be paid well, but we’re bitter and tired. We can still be dangerous and less free. I’m afraid I can’t approve four days off.”

Austin was not surprised.

It was because of the high salary that Austin and his father took the job.

After all, it was costly to support Catherine’s training as a magister.

As the old saying goes, the poor study while the rich practice martial arts was not without reason.

“If it won’t work out, I’ll resign.”

“Anyways, you can be sure that I’m not coming to work for these four days, I hope you can understand.”

Austin cupped his hands.

The ganger sighed. “What was so important to the point that you could quit your job.”

“But I’ve heard that your sister had just become an apprentice magister. In the future, your household expenses will be smaller and the financial pressure of your family will be lessened.”

“I’ll tell you what. I’ll do my best to get it for you, but no promises.”

“Thanks.

“Oh, by the way. Don’t tell my dad about my leave first. I’ll tell him myself later.”

Austin waved off and left.

Austin then returned to the magical beast farm.

“I can’t touch the vicious beasts now, but I can touch the magical beasts in the feeding area.”

“It would be great if I could get my hands on a lightning-type magical beast!”

Lightning-type magical beasts could release electricity.

If Austin could contact any lightning-type magical beast, his cells would then evolve and gain the ability to release electricity.

It was a pity that normal magic beasts were close to extinction as vicious beasts were everywhere.

Austin went around the farm to test his luck.

And he could not find any lightning-type beasts.

Austin focused on the other creatures.

Other than the lightning-type magical beasts, the first thing he thought of was the most ordinary and inconspicuous ant.

“Let’s see what surprise you can give me, ant.”

Austin caught one on the floor and held it in his palm.

After a while, the system notification sounded.

“Ding… You have come into contact with ants. Your cells have evolved and received a hundredfold increase in strength!”

Ding… a kind reminder. Your cell strength has evolved beyond your physique. Please use it cautiously.

A hundredfold increase in strength!

This was a huge surprise!

This meant that Austin’s current strength was multiplied by a hundred times.

Austin’s physique was similar to that of an apprentice magister.

If Austin’s original strength was 500 kilograms, if he were to increase his strength by 100 times, that would be 50,000 kilograms!

But now, with Austin’s physique, he was able to throw such a heavy punch.

His fists and arms would probably become crippled after hitting the object.

But Austin was not disappointed.

After all, it was better than nothing.

A hundredfold increase in strength was his first trump card.

“With this amplification, I can punch out a super heavy punch that weighs 50,000 kilograms!” Austin thought, “Why don’t we call this a 50-ton punch!”
