YM778.TV Chapter 8
Xu Bai clenched his fists and realized that the plaster casts on his arms were about to crack. Thus, he stopped himself midway.
It had not even been twenty-four hours.
Putting aside the fact that he had not even received the first day’s medical allowance, it would be very easy for him to arouse suspicion and misunderstanding if he suddenly recovered after being in terrible condition when he was admitted.
‘Wait a minute…’ Xu Bai thought to himself.
He did not just get the system today. The system had been with him for twenty-two years and he was already used to it.
Therefore, after the pain in his shoulders disappeared, and he relaxed, he looked at the status panel and realized that the level up button was still lit.
Xu Bai blinked his eyes and subconsciously chose to level up again.
Seconds later…
[Ding! Successfully level-up!]
“It’s done?”
Xu Bai raised his eyebrows as he listened to the voice in his ear. At the same time, he saw a golden light flash on the status panel and realized that the words, “Level 11” were now floating above his miniaturized image on the status panel.
He was shocked.
“I leveled up again?”
“Then, can I…”
Xu Bai looked at the level up button, which was still shining with golden light, and clicked it again.
However…
This time, the upgrade was not successful.
[Ding!]
[Not enough EXP!]
[The player needs to have obtained a minimum amount of EXP in order to level up. The stored EXP can be used to supplement the remaining EXP required to level up once the minimum amount is fulfilled.]
“Huh??”
Xu Bai blinked and looked at the notification that popped up in his retina.
“Does this mean that as long as I gain experience, even if it’s just a single point, I can automatically use 3,999 stored EXP to fulfill the requirements to reach the requirements to level up?”
‘Hold on. Gotta check this…”
[Level: Eleven]
[Character EXP: 0/4000 (4998200 stored EXP)
He had consumed 1,900 stored EXP?
Also…
“Hiss…”
Xu Bai took a deep breath, “The amount of EXP required to level up doubled!”
Leveling up from Level 10 to Level 11 required 2,000 EXP, and leveling up from Level 11 to Level 12 required 4,000 EXP. In that case, would leveling up from Level 12 to Level 13 require 6,000 EXP, or 8,000 EXP?
If it was the latter…
“Good heavens,” Xu Bai exclaimed.
However, when he took a look at the amount of stored EXP he had accumulated, he heaved a sigh of relief. Although he needed a lot of EXP to level up, he had accumulated a lot of it over the years.
With his stockpile nearly 5,000,000 stored EXP, he should be able to level up many times.
Xu Bai nodded to himself as he thought this. Then, he looked at the skills he currently had on his status panel.
When he had reached Level 9, he had been unable to unlock the main mission, which resulted in him being unable to level up. After that, every time Xu Bai completed a mission, the character EXP would be converted into stored EXP, but the skill EXP would not be converted into stored skill EXP.
In other words…
‘I can max my skills out?’
Xu Bai’s eyes lit up.
[Skills:]
[Mountain Splitter (White-grade. Has 10 levels)]
[Level: 1]
[Upgrade EXP: 0/1000]
[Skill EXP: 5,000,050]
Just as Xu Bai was about to upgrade his skill, he suddenly saw an arrow next to the Mountain Splitter which showed that it could be upgraded. He blinked his eyes and said, “What about increasing its grade?”
When he said that, an info panel appeared in front of Xu Bai.
[Mountain Splitter (White) → Mountain Crusher (Blue) requires 10,000 Skill EXP and will increase the number of levels available to train to 15.]
10,000 Skill EXP?
Xu Bai frowned slightly. He seriously suspected that the system thought that the EXP he had accumulated over the years had come cheaply.
The five million character and skill EXP were accumulated bit by bit over the past ten years, starting from 100 points.
Xu Bai initially found the missions boring once he was unable to level up, but after seeing his experience points exceed 1,000,000, he became addicted to increasing that number, similar to the joy one would feel when saving money. After that, he took the initiative to look and take up all kinds of missions, using them to accumulate character and skill EXP.
Right now, the system was asking for 10,000 skill EXP…
10,000?
This was daylight robbery!
Xu Bai shook his head speechlessly, but still chose to upgrade the skill.
He suddenly realized that perhaps the world he had lived in for 22 years was unfamiliar, and held secrets that he could not fathom.
[Ding!]
[Mountain Crusher (Blue-grade). “One punch to crush mountains!”]
[Maximum Level: 15]
[Level: 1]
[Upgrade EXP: 0/2000]
[Remark: The higher the grade, the more EXP is required to level up. Now, this skill is barely acceptable, although it is still ordinary.]
With a flash, the skill panel changed greatly, and the number kept falling. Finally, his skill EXP settled at 4,990,050.
Saving money was painstaking, whereas spending money was like leaving the tap running.
When Xu Bai saw this, he could not help but recall that 90% of his monthly salary was spent for his sister’s hospital fees.
However, it was worth it.
Xu Bai firmly believed that with the system now properly functioning, he would be able to save his sister, who was now in a vegetative state.
As long as treatment was effective, Xu Bai did not care no matter how much money he spent.
Just like this skill…
After the Mountain Splitter was upgraded from white-grade to blue-grade, the skill EXP requirements had also doubled. However, the effect of the upgrade was very obvious.
To put it simply, if the white-grade Mountain Splitter had a coefficient of 1, then the blue-grade Mountain Splitter had a coefficient of at least 1.5, a full 50% increase, and that was even before he increased the skill’s level.
Xu Bai lowered his head and looked at his cast-wrapped arms. He felt that if he punched hard now, he would be able to make An Ya cry.
At this moment, the ward door was pushed open.
Xu Bai raised his head and looked at An Ya, who was now in a white coat.
Speak of the devil?
Xu Bai raised his eyebrows.
After An Ya entered the room, she saw Xu Bai lying on the bed. She met his gaze, frowning as she asked, “What are you looking at?”
“I was just wondering if I could make you cry.”
Xu Bai was very honest.
An Ya was speechless.
