'The multi-task ability should help him since he's the Elder in charge of the Alchemy Department of the sect.' Cal thought with a little smile as he was also happy about his few new talents.
'It's boring just watching him cook, let's check my new talents. Status!' Then in front of Cal's eyes was a transparent game-like window that held his important details.

'It seems like my upgrade points increased by about 8,000 or so while I was asleep, I will be able to improve my Cultivation talent to the next tier once I get 300,000, I can't wait to see what's above the Blessed level.' Cal thought with a little bit of excitement as he viewed his awe-inspiring talents that would leave any of the top powerhouses in the world speechless with disbelief if they ever found out.
The classifications in this world vary from certain things such as the professions which are split from lowest to highest in the world starting from Entry, Apprentice, Competent, Expert, Master, Grandmaster where Grandmaster is the best and most revered level where many have tried to achieve it. Yet, Cal has the talent to be a Grandmaster in Alchemy and Formations, but it doesn't mean he is a Grandmaster. He isn't a Grandmaster yet because he lacks the proper experience, but once he achieves that then he'll be someone that is revered throughout the world, even most bigshots will treat him equally at that point.
Unlike Professions, cultivation and treasure have a different system of classifications. From lowest to highest in the world starts with Normal, Grand, and Blessed with 4 sub-classifications for each classification which start with Low, Middle, High, and Peak. This way it's more specific since there is a huge gap between a Low-Normal and Peak-Normal. Cal has unexpectedly the highest possible cultivation talent in the world yet he can improve it to something beyond the understanding of many beings on this planet.
(Author Note: Sorry for the info dump, if you are confused by the classifications, I will always put talents with a higher grade first. For example, you'll always see a Blessed rank talent before a Normal rank talent so it will always be from highest to lowest no matter what kind of talent it is. Traits are categorized by time of acquirement though. Since I introduced a lot, I'll explain affinities later.)
As of now, he's still growing, but his laziness is truly amazing as it's even categorized as a trait which is something even stronger than talents as it won't decrease in effect as you grow stronger. It's a truly horrid trait though as it doesn't give him the drive to become stronger at all along with the fact that training easily bores him due to his impatience. During his free time, he usually talks to some of the elders or core disciples of the sect since he has barely gone out. It also doesn't help his boredom since many of the people he knows are cultivating, doing sect missions, or are just busy with miscellaneous things.
A truly pitiful situation for the poor Cal since he is a reincarnated being from Earth. When he died from a typical truck crashing into him, he found himself in a 1-year-old boy named Cal. He didn't simply transmigrate, he was naturally born in the body with his old soul it's just that he gained a semblance of sentience when he turned 1-year-old. With said memories of Earth, he truly misses all of the exciting activities there. He was previously down on his luck, but he realized that formation making has the potential to create illusions that can be used in various ways for entertainment.
Sadly, the illusion arrays he can make are too low level to create illusions from nothing and can only make illusions from the emotions of those who activate it. It's not like he lacks the understanding to create a bigger illusion formation, it's just that it takes too many resources that the Purple Cloud Sea Sect doesn't have. He can only sigh in disappointment, but at least he has a temporary goal to get his hands on those materials.
While he was focused on his thoughts, Hun placed another plate of food which snapped Cal out of his stupor. "If you don't want to train and be useful, at least fatten up so the beasts can have a good meal if they get you," Hun joked with Cal, and Cal clearly knowing it's just Hun's weird sense of humor.
"Anyway, I have to take charge in the Alchemy Department soon so I'll have to go and get ready. Have a good day and at least train at being animal feed." With that said, Hun went out of the kitchen and made his way to the Alchemy Department which is on one of the inner mountains.
"Yeah, have a good day and I hope your cauldron explodes so you can get another holiday to cook for me." Cal joked as Hun was making his way out the door and an audible laugh could be heard from Hun as he flashed a smile to Cal before closing the door.
'I actually don't hope your cauldron explodes otherwise my gift to you wouldn't give me any points.' Cal thought as he ate with relish.
That gift he mentioned was Hun's talent Alchemy (Master) which is the sole reason why he became an Elder in charge of the Alchemy Department. A Master doesn't compare to a Grandmaster, but they are still at the peak of their profession and are still widely respected and a Master working at the Purple Cloud Sea Sect is a major boost in strength for the entire sect. If Hun didn't become the Head of his Department despite being a Master, it would've been degrading beyond belief.
Yet this bigshot at the Master level was actually the creation by the 4-year-old Cal on a whim 2 years ago. This happened after Cal was taken back to the sect from his first time outside where he went to a meeting between the sect leaders of the Vhan Country where there were many talents and at one point he saw someone with a Master talent in Alchemy so he used a Full replication on it. When he got back, he saw Hun, a regular Deacon at the time who usually cooked for him. Hun took care of Cal's needs aside from cooking too and having felt pity for the man who only had a reasonable talent in Cooking, he imprinted the Alchemy (Expert) talent.
When Cal upgraded his Alchemy talent to Grandmaster he decided to imprint the Alchemy talent once again on Hun to raise it to the Master level. That was one year ago when Cal wasn't prohibited by the system to imprint on Hun since imprinting has a 1-year cooldown. This meant that for Hun to reach the Master level from Expert in the previous year, he worked his ass off even though he looks like a laid-back and kind uncle. You could even have heard multiple explosions near the Alchemy Department during that time which Cal uses to tease Hun.
Even though Hun got busier and didn't have much time to spend with Cal, Cal was still happy to see that Hun has found a purpose other than cooking meals. He still drops by and cooks up dishes once in a while and this morning was such an occasion. Now with the Multi-Task given by Cal, Hun is definitely expected to do better.
'Now you can make use of your talents and earn points for me as repayment.' Now finished with his dishes, he placed them on a counter and went back to his room to rest once again since he is only 4 with a still-developing brain. He jumped onto his bed and reopened his status to try and get rid of the boredom.
'I make an average of 18,000 upgrade points a day after imprinting many of my talents. My all-time high was about 34,000 points in a day so I can probably upgrade my cultivation talent in 2 days, maximum.' The way to get points from his system is to give his talents to people and the more they use said talent and the higher grade it is, the more points Cal gets which leads to spending the points to upgrade his talents. This leads to higher grade talents which can be imprinted to get more points, it's an infinite cycle.
Talents that Cal has imprinted aren't lost so he can imprint any talent without consequence. The only little disappointing thing is that the imprinted talents or traits are 1 level or tier less (Author Note: Levels refer to talents, Tiers refer to traits. Multi-Task is 1 tier below Unfettered Thoughts) than Cal's own. It's like the Partial Replication which replicates any talent or trait, but it's reduced by 2 levels or tiers while the Full replication copies the talent fully. With all that excitement out of the way, Cal slowly fell asleep.
