Lin Wu glanced at the system energy storage in the host data window and saw it falling much faster than he had thought.
SYSTEM ENERGY STORAGE: 7542 units
…7533
…7520
…7498
…7400
"Damn, I didn't expect it to fall this fast!" Lin Wu muttered in shock as he kept on looking.
The reduction continued at the same pace for about a minute, after which it started to slow down and then almost halted.
SYSTEM ENERGY STORAGE: 7002 units
~Phew~
Lin Wu took a breath of relief and guessed that it was consumed so fast as the system needed to at the start to begin the process. He kept on looking and saw the storage decrease again. But this time it happened after an interval of five minutes.
SYSTEM ENERGY STORAGE: 6992 units
"Oh, is it now going to consume it in specific time periods?" Lin Wu wondered.
He waited again and then confirmed it. Five minutes later, ten more units were consumed.
