I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 66: Unlimited potential

I looked at her with a confused look when I heard this before walking closer to take a look for myself.

But since they were all standing there stunned, it took me a bit of time to push through to get closer to the screen.

When I saw the report on the screen, I immediately understood why they were acting this way.

Strength: 8/???

Agility: 10/???

Vitality: 8/???

These were the same values on the status screen that the Demon King System showed me, but there were these strange question marks that followed after each of these stats.

At the same time, there wasn't an intelligence stat that came with it, but that wasn't strange. After all, this was a machine that measured physical capabilities and didn't measure things like intelligence.

If I had to guess, it was most likely the question marks that were causing everyone to react this way.

I looked over at Bing Lan and asked, "What are these question marks?"

She looked at me with a strange look and opened and closed her mouth a few times, almost as if she was trying to figure out exactly what to say.

In the end, she took a deep breath and calmly explained, "As you can see, this machine can measure your physical capabilities. The number in front is your current measurement based on human standards. A normal adult would have a measurement of five, so all of your measurements show that you are above average for a person, but that's normal since you're an Awakener."

Five was the average?

Then that meant that I was already at the average when I first awakened…

I had thought that the average would surely be ten, so I had always thought that I was still weaker than normal people. But it seemed that I had been wrong.

So…did that mean that I had above average intelligence in the first place since my intelligence was at seven?

I couldn't help feeling a bit proud at this realization, but I quickly focused my mind back on the matter on hand.

I pointed at the question marks and asked, "What do those question marks mean then?"

At this, Bing Lan revealed a strange look again and she fell silent.

After a moment of silence, she said, "Well, the numbers in the back represent…the potential that one has. Or rather, the physique potential that one has. As long as they're willing to keep training, that is how strong their bodies can become."

My eyes lit up when I heard this as I asked, "Then for these question marks to appear…"

I didn't finish my sentence, but the meaning left by this hanging statement was clear.

Bing Lan looked at me with a strange look before giving a nod to confirm it. She then said, "Normally, there would be a value, but since there's no value and only question marks, the safest thing to say is that the machine can't measure your potential. The highest that I've seen from this machine is 999 and if yours is filled with question marks, that means that you can break through that limit.

So it could even be said that your potential has no limits as long as you're willing to keep training."

After she said this, everyone looked at me with strange looks.

But I didn't care about any of this as I was lost deep in thought.

It was the Demon King System.

That was the reason why my body was like this.

When it had saved me and bound to my body as I was drowning in the river, it had stated that it had changed my body to suit the system.

Since it's a system that had levels and such, it should mean that there was the possibility of infinite growth.

That meant that it wasn't strange to see these question marks being a display of my potential.

I really had to thank my Demon King System for this, but at the same time…it was kind of digging a hole for me.

If I hadn't created this persona of a genius in the first place, then people would have definitely been suspicious of my physique's potential.

It seemed like I had really dodged a bullet there.

No one said a thing as they looked at me with strange looks…that was until Bing Lan suddenly broke out laughing and said, "Ha, ha, ha, I'm really glad that I brought you into our guild before anyone else found this out. You definitely have the potential to become someone big, but how far you go…will depend on how much effort you're willing to put in.

But I'm definitely someone willing to invest in this kind of potential."

Her subordinates looked at her with a strange look, but they slowly began to nod along.

After all, this Lin Fan was just too much of a freak that they weren't able to argue with her. If he was able to awaken this physique of his, he would definitely become a monster one day.

Bing Lan then stopped laughing and moved closer to Lin Fan. She leaned in close and said, "You're so excellent that I even want to have you for myself."

Bing Xin immediately jolted out her shock when she heard this and she quickly came in between the two of them. She raised her hands to push Bing Lan away as she said, "Big sister, stop joking around. What if other people heard this joke?"

Bing Lan narrowed her eyes in a teasing manner and said, "Who said that it was a joke? I'm being serious. If I miss out on such a good man, who knows when I'll find another one?"

Bing Xin's chin dropped when she heard this before she started pushing Bing Lan away from Lin Fan.

I just couldn't help revealing a bitter smile when I saw all of this.

It seemed like these two sisters really did like playing around with me…

But I couldn't help being moved by Bing Lan's words.

After all, she was a top grade beauty and she had a mature air to her that made her even more beautiful.

I was still a man, couldn't I dream?
