Attribute Bonus
The physical projection of Tristan Wesseling looked surprised.
He never imagined that Ves would contact him out of the blue one day.
The distance between the two had become a lot more magnified after the last year.
When Tristan learned that Ves had actually played a key role in transforming the Dominion of Man into a living dreadnought of all possibilities, he knew that there was no way he could catch up to his old friend anymore!
Even if Tristan managed to make a lot of progress in the following century, Ves would make 10 times as many gains.
This realization did not make the former Fridayman depressed.
Instead, he felt relieved. The burden of trying to keep up with an insanely successful prodigy was impossible to begin with. It was better for him to stop wasting his time on useless comparisons and focus on his own work.
That was exactly what he was doing before the infamous patriarch of the Larkinson Clan contacted him in person.
