Max Stats in the Apocalypse

Thankfully, Roger saved Mr. K's number so he could easily call him. And just as he dialed his number in the phonebook, he called for him.

"Hello, Boss!" Mr. K greeted him over the phone.

"Ah, I will send the 10 men now that I told you to train. Be sure to tell them my feats." Roger noted to Mr. K that, in an obvious manner, making a sound, Mr. K pondered

"Ah... Why boss?"

Such a predicament has a solution. Roger considered how to gain their loyalty, and the most obvious and viable option was to show off his feats. In that way, in modern society, idolizing someone would surely bring loyalty. Of course, it is not always for normal people, but for Awakens, it will be for sure.

Power standards are set in every corner of the world, and the number one priority in this post-apocalyptic world is the ability to kill. Roger can kill; everyone knows that, but there is still another one—the ability to take care of them.

If now that Roger shows them great kindness and if they hear about his feats of dodging bullets that only S-rank Awakens could do, what does the simple task of making money for him stand for? It would be nothing since thought would be brought to that simple as that is easy to ensure and it is not bad.

But how about greed? What if it is the reason for them to betray him? Well, it would be difficult because why would they risk being discovered? If Roger could evade bullets, for sure, if Lucas discovered that he was betrayed, they would be chased even after death.

What a laughable thought, but the real thing is that why would they risk the promising conditions Roger has over greed? They could be content with what they had, and Roger was actually showing it to them by being kind.

How so? Well, if a great leader is terrifying and kind at the same time, which would you choose if you had the ability?

A leader who is feared is better than one who is loved, but what if the leader has both aspects? It is the best leader, so why settle for less if you have the best option set to be your leader? Pathetic would choose to betray this kind of leader.

"Don't worry about it; just pay with what I said and tell them about it." Roger cut his thoughts off and continued with his words. "So, that's good now."

"Uh, yes. I will inform Scar since I am away on a business trip, Boss."

"I see... If it is a business trip, then that is okay. I didn't really care. As I said, you can still be independent. I just didn't want to be bothered with the insignificant details. That is why I made you my left hand." Roger was talking so much that he realized it, but he didn't even think about taking it back. At the very least, he felt secure about the gang's affairs.

"Yes, boss. Thank you for the trust."

"Okay." Then Roger ended the call, bringing his phone back to his pocket.

"Now, shall we see your progress, Kyla?" Roger inquired as he entered Kyla's room after she cultivated every night for weeks.

"Yes, and by the way, dad called that mom would be discharged. After the small shock and the complete healing that Dad suggested, Mom can finally move her body. We must visit her tomorrow."

Roger nodded at him as he listened to the great news Kyla had. It made him sigh with relief, as he was still worried about his mother's condition. And now that he finally came into relief, he smiled. "Let's do that, but I will check your dantian first. I can't be careless since I want you to have Qi. I will remove some impurities later."

After a few hours, at approximately 9 pm, Roger went back to Kyla's room, only to see she was still cultivating. Roger realized that Kyla was too eager to become strong and had no time for leisure. It is as if some determining mindset was urging her to continue this time-eating session.

And as Roger's eyes filled with admiration of Kyla's work, his eyes also fell down on her body as she assessed it using some sort of energy within him.

Roger used some technique to see one body's condition, and his eyes flickered a small yellow light. After that, Roger realized what kind of physique Kyla had.

A physique is what is commonly called a "constitutional body," a condition of the body that has an ability of some sort for extraordinary purposes. Whether it is an ability to take different kinds of poison and be immune, or a talent for refining unique Qi, there are plenty of chances and abilities a kind of physique has to learn that Kyla has some unique physique that he only learned its description.

'Normal people have normal physiques, and those who have different physiques from others have different grades depending on their physique.' Roger thought inwardly as he remembered what his master taught him in the past.

Just like him, Kyla has a unique physique.

'Absorption Unique Qi and True Qi Body.'

It is a physique that has a lot of names, but this is what is common. From the description he learned, a body with this physique has yellow and blue colors in their meridian points. Also, their hearts have some spherical shape of some sort of azure color. It is what is commonly described as it, and seeing it on his sister was a one-in-a-million chance. This also explains why Kyla has talent.

Roger noticed the talent because of her physique. But why hadn't he already seen it before? The reason lies with cultivation. If a person doesn't have cultivation in their dantian, their real physique will not surface as the dantian will serve as the light for an eye to assess the body.

"Roger, what are you doing there?" Kyla suddenly called, and that stopped Roger's thinking. Roger eventually looked at Kyla and shook his head, then entered the room.

"I was only thinking of some insignificant case. I will now remove the impurities." Kyla then nodded and didn't say anything about Roger's previous actions. It was insignificant, as he said, and she didn't care about it anyhow. And, as Roger sat next to her, she was asked to turn her back to her.

'A great physique like this is useless without proper resources, so to increase the potential, I will open some pressure points for the energy to flow faster. It will hurt, but she must endure.' The reality is that Roger doesn't need to remove the impurities from Kyla anymore since he has learned her physique. And since her physique has the ability to have a great absorption rate, anything that it can get will turn into True Qi, which is the refined Qi, or will become nourishment to the outer body.

Of course, impurities are waste, but they will eventually disappear since this physique knows what is useful and what is not, so even though it has a good absorption rate, it won't absorb indiscriminately.
