Chapter 327 - System +2: A Huge Update On Various Items!
Chapter 327 System +2: A Huge Update On Various Items!
Su Yang, who had long known that the golden task was about to be completed, was extremely indifferent. He didn’t rush to check it out. After all, there were so many people now and if there were any changes made by the system, it’d be a troublesome matter if it were seen.
He had yet to become strong enough to ignore his country and the degree at which people coveted him so he had to live with it first.
With that in mind, he slowly made his way back to his neighborhood where he met and greeted Qu Xiaomeng who was sporting a simple outfit while shopping in the middle of the day.
The color of her face was rather pale today and she didn’t look too well. Rather, she looked a little sickly and seemed to be in discomfort.
Although Su Yang was in a hurry to return so he could take a look at the system, he still asked casually, “Teacher Qu, Are you… Are you okay?” Qu Xiaomeng shook her head and her voice sounded a little muffled due to a stuffy nose when she replied, “No, it’s nothing. I just have a bit of a cold.”
Su Yang looked up and saw the sun hanging in the sky. It was so hot it could dry you out… ‘Getting a cold in this weather… This girl is really something.
Su Yang asked, “So, what are you going to do
now?”.
“Ah-choo!” Qu Xiaomeng sneezed and couldn’t keep her eyes open. However, she still replied, “It’s fine, it’s fine. My brother needs me for something, I’ll head off first.”
Su Yang nodded. “Okay. In that case, take good care of yourself.”
Su Yang never liked to meddle in other people’s business. After watching Qu Xiaomeng leave, he returned home slowly and quietly as well.
When he got home, Su Yang closed the curtains, went into the bedroom, closed the door, and entered the virtual space.
After entering the virtual space, Su Yang could no longer hold down the excitement in his heart.
‘A Golden Point! The system is getting an upgrade! I’m going to get a super upgrade again!’
He excitedly opened the system.
The shiny Gold Mission completion prompt on the system looked amazing!
Su Yang rubbed his hands and as his eyes shone, he clicked (View Reward) without hesitation.
(Beep!]
(Gold Point +1]
‘Normal, this is all very normal.’
With his previous experience, Su Yang knew that Gold Points only had one function, which was to add points to the system, lifting the cap on it while adding new functions.
He selected the gold point like he did in the past and suddenly, a translucent [+] appeared on the system’s interface.
Su Yang clicked on it.
Instead of the flicker of light he usually saw when he added points, Su Yang seemed to only see a beam of light in front of his eyes that was so bright, it almost blinded him.
He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was a countdown in front of him. [07:59:57] ‘Eight hours…
‘What is this?
‘How long does it take for the system to complete the upgrade?
‘By the time it was done, it’ll be getting dark, won’t it?!
Su Yang was not speaking metaphorically, but literally. It was 3 p.m. By the time the countdown was up, it would already be 11 o’clock and dark outside.
‘Well, if the system is going to be updated, so be it. I should do my own thing.
‘That being said…’
Su Yang wasn’t in the mood to do anything else because his heart was focused on the system.
So, as he walked around the villa, he began kicking the little monster beans he saw around the courtyard when he got bored. He would sit, walk, then begin beating the big mutant rabbit Fatty. However, he didn’t expect Fatty to retaliate and beat him back instead!
He had nothing else to do so he went to the study to check on Goldy, who was still playing with the cat teaser. After Su Yang took out the automatic cat teaser that day, it seemed like the little kitten was hooked.
She learned how to spell the words ‘electric cat teaser’ from Su Yang. Then, she became obsessed with writing it on the Unknown Sticky Note by herself so it could play with it every day.
Su Yang pondered. This isn’t catnip either. Is the cat teaser so addictive? This kitten is just a silly cat.’
In his boredom, he went to his study, tore off a piece of the Unknown Sticky Note, wrote down ‘manual cat teaser’, and went to town teasing Goldy.
It waved its little paws at Su Yang, apparently to make its displeasure known.
Before he knew it, Su Yang had played with Goldy for 8 hours.
‘It felt… It was fun.’
At 11:00 p.m., Su Yang was still playing with Goldy and almost lost track of time when suddenly, a message came from Chu Xia, (What are you doing?] Su Yang took a look at the system countdown with only one minute left, then looked at his hand that was teasing Jin Jin, and replied, [I’m stoning.)
Chu Xia said, (Can I ask you a question?]
Su Yang replied, [Okay.] Chu Xia asked, (A piece of glass was getting ready to jump off a building, guess what it said.)
Su Yang was speechless.
‘Is it really a good idea to talk about such a scary topic as ‘jumping off a building at night?’
Su Yang asked cautiously, (You can’t think of an idea, can you?]
Chu Xia coquettishly voiced, (Oops! You guessed it, but I think you’re the one who’s out of ideas!)
Su Yang was speechless.
‘It’s late at night… Why is she acting like a baby for?’
Su Yang replied, [It probably said… Click! Crack! Click! Clang! Crack!]
Chu Xia replied with a smirking emoji. (Nope. It would say, “Good night. I’m broken.”)
Afterwards, Chu Xia sent him an emoji that looked like a little girl putting on a blanket and as it said, “Good night.”
Su Yang was speechless.
‘That’s crazy! What’s this about!’
Su Yang found himself completely confused about what was going on in his mind right now. ‘What is this? Is this a joke?
‘What’s the purpose? Just to say good night? This is so boring, isn’t it?’ He couldn’t figure out what the girl was thinking, and Su Yang didn’t care about her. Instead, he felt that Chuxia had probably lost
He closed the WeChat interface and stared at the countdown in front of him.
3… 2… 1… 0.
As the countdown ended, the timer in front of him disappeared. Nothing changed. ‘Is this the end?
‘Eight hours of updates and you’re telling me that not a single fart has been released?’ Su Yang opened the system in disbelief and a similar prompt appeared on the system. It was like the one that was usually shown after he added points to other items.
(System +1: Maximum number of points for various items and abilities +1.)
(Variety of items that points can be added to is increased.]
[Intermediate store updated. Achievement system open.] The addition point cap has finally been raised for the second time!
Looking at the kind of little monster beans running around the house that were +4, Su Yang felt ashamed to even look at them considering that he and the other little monsters were only +2.
It was no wonder he always wanted to bully them and sacrifice them. It was probably because he was jealous.
It was within Su Yang’s expectation that the point cap was raised. However, the store being upgraded to an (Intermediate Store) and the [Achievement System) being unlocked was totally unexpected.
‘What’s all this?
‘Eight hours of system upgrades for these two things?’ Su Yang opened the system store to see the changes.
After opening the system store, Su Yang found that the system store had changed dramatically. From its original form without a user interface with only three slots to a fully fleshed out page that seemed like it was made for a game. ‘The new system store is a great success! I’m not sure how much I can ask for. I can’t ask for too much from myself.’
When Su Yang looked at the store page, the items available had increased from three to four, so they were now arranged in two rows instead of one. The first three items were as they were, unchanged. The Random Point, Guardian Talisman, and Recipe Item were still listed.
The only thing that changed was the item in the last slot which was actually bronze and looked different from the other three. It was named (Random Prize Voucher) and had a colorful question mark as an icon.
Su Yang clicked on the question mark on the (Random Prize Voucher) and an interface suddenly popped up in front of him, with the introduction of the item on it.
Random Prize Voucher: This item will randomly display random valuable vouchers. The vouchers include, but are not limited to the following[Bronze Ability Enhancement Voucher]
(Point Wash Voucher]
(Life Transfer Voucher]
[Advanced Life Transfer Voucher] (Bronze Ability Enhancement Voucher] [Silver Ability Enhancement Voucher] (Silver Ability Blessing Voucher]
[Misc items.)
Note: The vouchers will be refreshed randomly in 1 to 30 days so please purchase them in time. Purchases will not affect the refreshing of the items.
‘Su Yang brightened up, these things seem to be very useful.’
The (Bronze Ability Enhancement Voucher] was for the little monsters. Su Yang would be able to select a bronze ability and give it to them so they’d possess abilities like Bubbles or Janet.
However, it didn’t have a 100% success rate. The higher the compatibility of the bronze ability and the little monster, the higher the success rate would be, and vice versa.
The (Point Wash Voucher) is to wash away any points added unsatisfactorily. However, it was only for random points and was inapplicable for bronze, silver, and even gold points.
The (Life Leap Voucher) and (Advanced Life Leap Voucher) were literally Life Leap Vouchers that would imbue a special item with sentience, even a building.
It wasn’t something Su Yang just mentioned. In the system upgrade, Su Yang saw the phrase, (Variety of items that points can be added to is increased.) When he clicked on it, he saw the hidden limitation in the system.
As it turned out, there had always been a limit to the the number of items he could add points to. Before the system upgrade, he could only add points to ordinary items. If it were something larger like a building, an area, a large ship or anything else, he wouldn’t be able to do so.
In fact, Su Yang had realized this problem in the past. Among the things he had added points to, only Pool was a swimming pool. That was the only ‘site’ he managed to add a point to.
After that, no matter what he did, he couldn’t select an area to add points which made him think that there was a bug in the system.
However, now he knew. It was true that the system had been preventing him from adding points to an area before, and Pool’s point addition had been a complete accident.
At that time, Sanque, Little Hus, and Little Deeny’s virtual space contributed to it. The time, place, and every other possible factor coincided so that he was able to add points to Pool.
Else, Little Hus wouldn’t have shouted about the fragrance that was a super fragrant aroma.
‘Now… I can finally add points to a building myself.
‘According to the system, I can add points to a room, a building, and even add points to a garden.’
However, there was a prerequisite, the owner of whatever the point was to be added to had to be Su Yang
