Spirit was giving Allen meaningful glances from the moment he received the initialization package and starting gift package.
Allen, aware of the meaningful glances and their implications, evaded Spirit's smug gaze.
However, Spirit persisted, darting from one corner of Allen's eyes to the other, her gaze carrying significant weight.
'Alright, enough with this little charade,' Allen said, still somewhat hesitant to meet her eyes.
Ahem, cough! Cough! Spirit feigned coughs, urging Allen on.
'I'm not going to apologise, so you should stop with this fake acting. I still think what I said was correct, and I'm not going to apologise for that.' Allen declared, finally locking eyes with Spirit.
Contrary to his expectations of her being sad or angry, Spirit wore an expression of pure confusion, tilting her head to the side.
'What?' Allen inquired, perplexed by her behaviour.
'Master,' she began, 'I never expected an apology from you, you know.'
'Huh? Then?'
'Shower me with praises, master!' Spirit exclaimed, opening her arms like an eager child, her eyes fixed on Allen, awaiting his accolades.
She continued, 'Didn't you claim this system was a fraud and that there were cheats? Well, now that you possess it, give the system the praise it deserves.'
'Oh!' Allen exclaimed, his attention drawn to the unlocked system functions.
At the forefront was the system's level, which stood at level 1. Despite being at such a low level, numerous functions had already been unlocked. This led Allen to wonder how many levels the system could ultimately reach.
He posed this question to Spirit.
Rubbing her small temple with her tiny hands, Spirit contemplated for a moment before responding, 'Well, let me think... I only know of level 3, master, but there's a high possibility that you can further upgrade me.'
Then came the self-explanatory functions of the system.
The first function, the Supreme Collector, empowered him to amass anything that matched his cultivation level or had lower cultivation.
This raised several inquiries in his mind, prompting him to inquire of the spirit, 'Can I gather anything? What does 'anything' encompass? Can I collect living beings, such as humans or animals? Please provide me with clarification on what items are collectable.'
Suddenly, Spirit began to spin, and in an instant, her attire transformed. She now donned a formal ensemble consisting of a black girl coat, a white shirt, black pants, and alluring heels. Her expression turned serious as she assumed a professional demeanour, and she addressed Allen, saying, 'Master, allow me to elucidate the system's functions.'
'Okay, listen up, Master! The Supreme Collector function lets you gather anything that's at your cultivation level or lower. And guess what? It all gets stored in the Collector Vault! We're talking pills, weapons, talismans, manuals, scriptures, medicinal knowledge, and so much more! You can try, and you will find many different things. '
'Now, when it comes to living beings, yes, you can collect them too using the Supreme Collector. But here's the deal: if they're alive, they won't go into the vault. Instead, they'll be sent straight to your spiritual sea, with their body and all. And let me tell you, things can get pretty wild in there if you're not prepared. You'll need to rely on your spirit to control them, or should I say, good luck with that! It's a risky move, Master, so I highly recommend mastering your spirit skills before attempting it.'
Allen listened to all this attentively, devoid of his surroundings.
Moving on to the Host Presence Collector! This nifty function allows you to become practically invisible. Your whole presence gets collected, making you undetectable to anyone unless they lay their eyes on you. You'll be like a ninja, slipping by unnoticed!'
She paused and let the information sink in, and then after some time she continued, 'The Collection Tag is a special ability that lets you put a tag on anyone or anything. With that tag in place, you can collect stuff from them, even if they're on the other side of the universe! However, here's the catch: You can only use one tag at a time. So if you tag someone new, the previous tag gets removed. Got it?'
'Master, do you have any questions so far?'
'Nah, keep going!'
'Alrighty then!' Spirit nodded and eagerly continued, 'Now, let's talk about the last function: Servant Collector!'
'With the Servant Collector, you can gather a percentage of the will and soul from anyone, whether they're humans, beasts, or even plants! It's pretty cool, right? And depending on how much you've collected, they fall into different categories.'
'Okay, listen up! If you collect between 0 to 10%, they become your Friend Servant. Use this category for your friends, and it'll earn you their loyalty. But hey, you gotta earn their trust too! They won't just blindly follow you.'
'Moving on! If you collect between 10 to 25%, they become your Ally Servant. These servants will listen to you and give their suggestions. They're objective and can live their own lives without constant commands.'
'Next up is the Worker Servant! If you collect between 25 to 50%, they fall under this category. They're pretty independent and can go about their own business, but when you give them a command, they'll follow it without question.'
'And finally, if you collect more than 50%, brace yourself for the Slave Servant Category! Yeah, it sounds harsh, but they're like slaves. They need commands for everything, even for the simplest tasks like living or dying.'
Allen looked at Spirit with a perplexed expression, clearly seeking further clarification. Spirit, understanding his confusion, proceeded to explain the servant-collector function once again.
After fully comprehending the concept, Allen's mind overflowed with admiration and excitement, causing him to exclaim, 'Incredible! Awesome! Wow!'
'Master, you can even customise the names of anything in the system, including me,' Spirit chimed in, taking note of Allen's enthusiasm.
'Yes, I'll definitely do that. But it seems there's a pattern or hierarchy within the Servant Collector function,' Allen remarked, observing the underlying structure.
Spirit clapped her hands gleefully, wearing an even happier expression. 'Wow, Master, you're not as clueless as I thought! You've got it!' She was about to continue, but their conversation was abruptly interrupted by a loud, booming voice and a sudden gust of wind.
Boom!
Both Allen and Spirit turned their attention to the source of the noise.
