Chereads / I Inherited A Dream System / Chapter 68 - Upgrade

Chapter 68 - Upgrade

Toby Robinson is sitting at the dining table, enjoying a delicious bowl of cereal. He woke up pretty early today, so he doesn't have to hurry to get ready for school, he is all ready to go. Just another benefit of getting the dream system, you wake up very early without feeling tired, which is pretty cool, I guess.

Toby's brother is watching a tv program, he will soon go to school, so he is trying to sneak in some tv time before mom comes to get him.

Toby is not the least bit interested in the educational tv show for children, but something they say catches his attention.

"Hey kids, did you know that broccoli has so many vitamins, minerals, fibers, and antioxidants, which all helps the body in many ways. So make sure you finish your broccoli kids! (The goofily dressed man said from the television)

Toby Robinson: Psh! Yeah right! (Toby snickered, continuing to eat his bowl of cereal)

[+2 Knowledge Points]

[1000/1000 Knowledge Points]

Toby Robinson: Wait What?! (Toby said as he stares at the message in disbelief)... (Chuckles) Thank you broccoli! (Toby said happily)

Just then Toby's mother enters the room, now ready to take Billy to school.

Sarah Robinson: Alright Billy, let's go to school. (Sarah tells him)

Billy Robinson: (Groans) Come on, mom. Just five more minutes. (The boy pleaded)

Sarah Robinson: Do you want to be late for school?! (Sarah says as she lifts Billy to his feet, placing his bag on for him)... Let's go... Oh, Toby. Make sure you don't miss the bus, Okay. (Sarah tells him)

Toby Robinson: Sure thing, mom! (Toby replied before focusing on the message he just received from the system)

Sarah Robinson: What is up with this boy nowadays? (Sarah wonders as she catches a glance of Toby staring at seemily nothing, with his finger raised as well)

Sarah chooses to ignore Toby's weirdness and takes Billy to school instead, leaving the young Dreamer alone with his system.

[Congratulations, you have finally reached a thousand knowledge points. You can now exchange them for Variant Points]

Toby Robinson: Variant Points? (Toby wondered)

[Variant Points: You will just have to get them to find out what they can do]

Toby Robinson: (Chuckles) You know, System. Sometimes I wonder if you're really sentient. But it's okay if you don't talk to me directly, I still know you're alive." (Toby tells the screen with a smile)

[1 Variant Points: 1000 Knowledge Points To Purchase]

Toby Robinson: Come on, System! In what world is that a fair trade?! (Toby yells in outrage)... (Sighs) Fine, fine. Purchase one variant point. (Toby begrudgingly said)

[Would You Like To Make This Purchase?]

Toby Robinson: I already said yes! Don't antagonize me, System! (Toby yells in anger)

[-1000 Knowledge Points]

[+1 Variant Point]

[Variant Points: Knowledge is power, and with this power you can strengthen your Dream Items, upgrading them in unique ways]

Toby Robinson: Upgrade? (Toby said in astonishment)

[Would You Like To Upgrade A Dream Item?]

Toby Robinson: Well heck yeah I do! (Toby said in excitement)

[Dream Item List]

[Dream Sword: 1 Variant Point To Upgrade]

[Dream Shield: 1 Variant Point To Upgrade]

Toby Robinson: That's it? What about the Dream Beam?! (Toby yelled before realising his mistake)... I can only upgrade dream items, so it's down to the sword or shield, huh? (Toby said, thinking about it for a moment)... Both of those things seriously need an upgrade, but which one do I chose? (Toby contemplated)... With the sword my attacks would be stronger, but with the shield I would get more defense... In my battle with the Butter Ant Queen, I got seriously hurt. The shield could have protected me from her stinger, or from Clockwork's lightning blast. But at the end of the day, I can only defend for so long, I need another way to finish a fight besides the dream beam... It's decided, I'm upgrading the dream sword. (Toby said as he selected the dream sword option on the screen)

[Would You Like To Upgrade The Dream Sword]

[Y/N]

Toby Robinson: Yes. (Toby said as he selected the yes option)

[-1 Variant Point]

[Upgrading Dream Sword]

[Upgrade In Progress]

[Progress: 0%]

Toby Robinson: I feel like this is going to take a while. (Toby said to himself)

Just then the honk of the school bus is heard outside, so Toby quickly devours the rest of the cereal, and rushes to catch up to the bus.

[Progress: 1%]
