Chapter 367 - Time To Upgrade!
Chapter 367 - Time To Upgrade!
Rean took the chance to obtain all the Spirit Stones from the Steel Works before going back to the sect with Malaka, Calina, and Roan. There, Malaka and Calina returned to the Blue Orchid District as the twins went back to their rooms in the Inner Sect. After that, they secluded themselves and went straight into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.
[You two finally came. It was quite boring to wait for that girl to leave your group.]
Rean shrugged his shoulders as he replied.
"It would be useless anyway. The sect also sent someone to watch us if we were attacked by the Umbral Sect. In the end, we couldn't enter the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm even if Luina didn't follow us."
Roan didn't care about any of that, though.
"Enough of that. Let's check the rewards. Sister Orb, how many Destiny Points do we have?"
[Well, you guys haven't touched your Destiny Points during the last 14 months. Also, you got that extra reward from the conclusion of that war since you two played huge roles there.]
Different from what happened in Qerten Country, Rean and Roan really did participate in this war directly. Their effect in Qerten might have escalated a lot, but it was only a side effect of what would happen sooner or later. However, this time, it could be said that it was because of the two that the war against Cassen was won. Obviously, they got a lot more Destiny Points.
[You two had 265 Destiny Points before the war started. The war results gave you another 2937 Destiny Points. On top of that, the accumulated points from the Communication System gave you another 4728 Points. In total, you guys have 7930 Points.]
Rean couldn't help but ask.
"Didn't the Communication System give way too little? Compared to what we did before in just three months, these fourteen months are quite lacking."
Sister Orb disagreed with Rean.
[That's not correct. The bigger the system becomes, the more common its effects become. Think about it as the new destiny of the world, having the communication system into it now. The world's destiny is adapting to your idea, that's all. However, there is good news. It doesn't seem like the Destiny Points you can get from the Communication System are reaching the limit yet.]
Rean and Roan nodded.
"So that's why. Well, this huge amount is still greatly welcome."
Soon after, the twins touched the Soul Gem Orb and sent their Spiritual Sense and Energy inside.
[Dragon Bones - 5000 Destiny Points] (New)
[Spiritual Energy Absorption Upgrade Level 2 - 1000 Destiny Points]
[Soul Gem Dimensional Realm Upgrade Level 3 - 8000 Destiny Points] (New)
[Yin Yang Bathhouse - Reward from Destiny Strugglers Title]
[Soul Connection Range Upgrade level 3 – 20000 Destiny Points] (10000km) (New)
[Soul Gem Blacksmith Workshop - 400 Destiny Points] (New)
[Soul Gem Alchemy Workshop Upgrade Level 2- 1000 Destiny Points] (New)
[Soul Gem Electrical Formations Repository Upgrade Level 2 - 1000 Destiny Points] (New)
"Oh! There is a new reward related to bones. Dragon Bones, huh?"
[Yes. It appeared after you got that last Authority Level Point.]
"There is also the next level of the Dimensional Realm, but it's too expensive as well. We better leave those two aside for now."
Rean agreed with Roan before they took a look at the rest. However, they didn't take long to select something since they already knew what they wanted.
"First, Spiritual Energy Absorption Upgrade level 2!"
Sister Orb's voice changed as the Soul Gem System talked in her place.
[Spiritual Energy Absorption Upgrade Level 2 - 1000 Destiny Points]
[Hosts' Destiny Points: 7930]
[Confirm the Purchase?]
"Yes!"
Rean and Roan quickly braced themselves as the acute pain immediately assaulted their Meridians. At least, they were ready for it this time. They resisted it as well as they could until it was finally over around an hour later.
[Tsk! The worm play didn't happen this time, so boring...]
The twins' mouths twitched. They really felt like using a hammer to smash Sister Orb. However, they knew that nothing good would come from it, so they ignored the annoying orb.
Eventually, the system announced.
[Spiritual Energy Absorption Upgrade Level 2 Completed.]
"Phew... Alright, we had 5% extra Spiritual Energy Absorption before. Now it jumped to 10%. Let's check if there's a new upgrade available. We might use it straight away if that's the case."
The twins had to admit that the thing that annoyed them the most was how long it took to cultivate now. So they had already decided to use everything on the Spiritual Energy Absorption upgrades. However...
[Spiritual Energy Absorption Upgrade Level 3 - 10000 Destiny Points]
"..."
"Ahem... Let's buy something else instead."
Without any other choice, the twins selected the next upgrades.
[Soul Gem Alchemy Workshop Upgrade Level 2 and Soul Gem Electrical Formations Repository Upgrade Level 2.]
[Total cost, 2000 Destiny Points.]
[Confirm the Purchase?]
"Yes!"
Immediately the Alchemy Workshop and the Electrical Formations' Repository began to shine. However, their outlines didn't change at all as the Spiritual Energy gathered on them. Finally, the two buildings finished upgrading.
"Well, it was a lot shinier than the last time."
"Who cares? Let's check what's inside first."
"Wait, check if the next upgrade is available for them already."
[Soul Gem Electrical Formations Repository Upgrade Level 3 - 3000 Destiny Points.]
[Soul Gem Alchemy Workshop Upgrade Level 3 - 3000 Destiny Points.]
"Oh! It was a lot cheaper than I thought. I was afraid they would jump straight to 10000 Points as well."
Roan ignored that and went straight into the Alchemist Workshop. Finally, he saw something that might be of some use for Alchemy. The system decided to give him the Cauldron this time.
"Well, it ought to be somewhat better."
[But of course! Different from any of the real world cauldrons, this one allows you to perfectly control the temperature! Many types of Spiritual Fires need to be controlled in specific ways. This Cauldron will resolve most of those problems. Of course, the Cauldron can't do anything about their purities. For that, you will need to upgrade the Workshop some more.]
"I never thought you could say something so pleasing to the ears."
[What are you talking about? I'm always pleasing!]
Roan snorted but didn't say anything. After all, the level of shamelessness the orb had was beyond comprehension.
