As soon as I spelt the command in my mind, the world in front of my eyes erupted. As if even the system was unable to keep up with the influx of energy, all the colours that I could see turned brighter, more vibrant.
My heart started beating faster, my blood started to boil. This is truly an awesome feeling! I can compare it only in the scene for Major Amurica first movie, where he got thrown into a chamber that turned him from a weakling into a supersoldier! The only difference lied in fact, that while he was screaming in pain and assuring others that he could endure it, I felt like I had the greatest orgasm of my entire body in my whole life!
Now I understand why people seek strength through cultivation! If the feeling of reaching the greater realms can be compared to even a fraction of what I'm feeling right now, even if not for the sake of actually being stronger, just this experience is worth all the troubles and effort required to rise in realms!
Looking with the corner of my eye at the attribute points, they didn't even need a second to reach three digits, currently racing towards first thousand! While it will take me a short while to actually get there, I don't waste my time simply watching them grow!
"Bonger! Unlock the path checker tool!"
"If there are any tools applicable to my abilities, affinities or attributes, unlock them as well!"
"If there is literally anything outside for my attributes that I can obtain by investing my points, I want to have it as well!"
Unable to focus my mind on anything, I make sure to shout those commands. I don't know what will happen when I push all my attributes to my current maximum, hence I want to take care of everything before it will be too late!
"Blop!"
"Path checker tool unlocked for the cost of 100 attribute points!"
"Blop!"
"System cannot follow indirect messages, please phrase your request directly!"
Pulse.
As I keep draining the monster's energy, a sudden shrug tilts its body for a short moment, before another insane event starts taking place.
Its body is actually shrinking now!
I don't know how long will this process take place and what will be the repercussions when it reaches its minimal size. My time is running low!
"Bonger, I want to improve my affinities!"
"Blop!"
"Improving any affinity by 1 level cost 400 attribute points. Do you wish to proceed?"
Ugh!
That's the most costly thing I encounter to this point! But looking at this word, I hope it will be worthy of my investment! While I don't hesitate for longer than a second to make my decision, I'm not so stupid to invest all the points I have right away! Let's take it slow!
"At first, I want to improve my mana affinity by one!"
"Blop!"
"Mana affinity improved by one!"
BOOM!
As if some barrier shattered inside my body, I can feel another wave of energy bursting through my veins! Taking a look at the growth of attribute points, the speed at which they are increasing is greater by at least a half from what I can see!
Does that mean that the higher the mana affinity, the more efficient the energy that I can absorb? Why I wasn't informed about it earlier?!
"BONGER! INCREASE MY ENERGY AFFINITY AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!"
"Blop!"
"Energy affinity raised to 5th level! Improving it even further requires host reaching the overall spirit realm!"
At this moment, my conscious is left hanging on a tiny tread. The sudden overflow of energy that followed the improvement of my affinities almost blacked my mind! The speed at which the penguin size decreases also matches up to my newfound ability to drain him off its energy! From it's initial over eighty meters of height, only about sixty remains! With the decrease, the pressure on my hand soaked in its insides also increases, as the size of the wound slims down as well!
"Blop!"
"Host acquired "Vampire" title!"
"Blop!"
"Host acquired "Vampire" path!
What the hell!
I didn't expect this encounter to be such a fortuitous one! If someone were to tell me that I would be blessing this day just an hour ago, I would kill him by simply laughing so hard! How could encountering such a powerfull monster be in any way a good thing? Who would've thought…
With my energetical affinity at 5th level now, the speed at which I was draining this penguin energy is really a thing to marvel at. But its the same as with the money. Only a stupid person hoards it instead of investing it further! With my points reaching four digits already, I don't have any doubts about what I should do next!
Bonger, improve all my affinities to the max as soon as it will be possible!
"Blop!"
"Marital affinity reaches 5th level!"
"Mana affinity reaches 5th level!"
"Blop!"
"Host acquires "Efficient fighter title!"
"Blop!"
"Host acquires "Efficient cultivator title!"
Okay! What else could I aim for with the abundance of my points right now? I'm still not sure about the meaning behind the abilities and how my stats actually work. I guess there is some system tool for that as well!
"Blop!"
"Detected host's wish to aquire ability checker and attribute checker system tools"
"Combined cost will be 400 attribute points!"
"Do you wish to proceed?"
YES! I wouldn't ask for that if I were to hesitate right now even for a slightest of moments!
"Blop!"
"Acquired ability checker!"
"Acquired attribute checker!"
Good! The only problem now is that I have no slightest idea what else can I improve before pushing my stats for the limit! In this moment of doubt, I suddenly feel pain in my right hand. Looking up, I realise that the penguin is already only ten meters tall! If I keep spending this attribute points left and right, I won't be able to push for the limits!
"Bonger, upgrade my charisma and wisdom as much as you can!"
I scream from the bottom of my lungs with a sudden bout of panic. If I were to lose my chance to make a breakthrough right here and right now despite such an overwhelming amount of energy, I wouldn't call myself an intelligent person anymore!
"Blop!"
"Host Constitution reaches 200!"
"Blop!"
"Host acquires "Bodybuilder" title!"
"Blop!"
"Host wisdom reaches 200!"
"Host acquires "Wise man" title!"
"Blop!"
"Host's attribute related titles merge into 'Universal cultivator' title!"
"Blop!"
"Spiritual tribulation will now descend upon the host's soul!"
"Blop!"
"Visions from the wisdom attribute will now start!"
Wait, what?
