Sen hadn't known that Centropai had its own currency separate from his own world, but he guessed that it made sense. It was a much more unified world and was ruled over by different members of each species. 'System, open the information page for the "Luminite Currency".'
{Right away!}
(A/N: This is an extremely detailed explanation of the of this world's currency system. If you find this kind of thing boring, you may want to skip it. If not, please keep reading.)
[World Currency]:
{In the vibrant realm of Centropai, where races of humans, goblins, and elves coexist in harmony, a robust and widely accepted currency serves as the cornerstone of economic prosperity and unity. The esteemed Centropai Economic Council, comprising distinguished experts from diverse races, diligently oversees the stability and integrity of the realm's currency, ensuring it remains a symbol of financial excellence.
Luminite, represented by the symbol Ⱡ, stands as the highest and most prestigious form of currency in Centropai. This illustrious currency has successfully stabilized the global economy and is hailed as a testament to the realm's economic prowess and unity.
At the heart of Luminite's efficiency lies a meticulously designed conversion system between its denominations. Crafted to be more finely divided in terms of numerical value, the denominations are carefully calibrated to ensure seamless price displays on market tags and swift transactions. The conversion rates between Luminite and its denominations are as follows:
1 Ⱡ (Luminite) = 100 𝑳 (Lumins)
1 𝑳 (Lumins) = 1,000 𝑮 (Glints)
This well-structured system simplifies financial exchanges, providing clarity and ease of use for merchants and consumers alike. The practicality of Luminite ensures that decimals are minimized, facilitating daily transactions and promoting economic efficiency.
The Centropai Economic Council, in partnership with Goblin and Elven representatives, diligently safeguards the stability of Luminite. Their collective expertise and diverse perspectives enable them to implement sound fiscal policies, conduct thorough market analyses, and monitor economic indicators effectively. The Council's proactive approach helps to pre-empt economic issues, preventing the pitfalls of inflation and deflation.
In addition to addressing inflationary concerns, the Council remains agile in tackling various economic challenges that may arise. From global market fluctuations to natural disasters and changing trade dynamics, the Council takes proactive measures to bolster the realm's economic resilience. Their strategic response ensures that Centropai's financial foundation remains strong, enabling the realm to navigate turbulent times with confidence.
Beyond its significance in trade and commerce, Luminite is embraced within Centropai's cultural and social fabric. The currency is embraced as a symbol of the realm's collective achievements and shared prosperity. Luminite sponsorship breathes life into grand festivals, supports educational endeavours, and nurtures artistic talents, enriching the cultural tapestry of Centropai.
The unifying power of Luminite is celebrated by all inhabitants of Centropai, transcending the boundaries of race and creed. Its acceptance extends beyond the realm's borders, with neighbouring regions and kingdoms recognizing and respecting the stability and reliability of Luminite.
As Centropai thrives and evolves, Luminite stands as a testament to the realm's unwavering unity and indomitable spirit. Its stable value and widespread acceptance reinforce Centropai's status as a realm of financial excellence, cultural richness, and interwoven prosperity.
In conclusion, Luminite emerges as the unifying force that binds Centropai together. Under the careful stewardship of the Centropai Economic Council, this esteemed currency plays a pivotal role in fostering economic prosperity and ensuring the realm's financial stability. With a well-designed conversion system, prudent economic policies, and a commitment to shared prosperity, Centropai's Luminite exemplifies the realm's collective achievements and reflects the resilience and harmony of its diverse inhabitants.}

Sen was amazed, although he knew he really shouldn't have been. The System knew everything about this world after all. 'Ok, that's out of the way, time to cultivate'
Sen immediately dashed outside, following the instructions of both where and how to cultivate the "Azure Serenity Scripture". He couldn't help but notice that this particular technique allowed him to improve his cultivation talent, something that normally wouldn't be possible. He'd expected the system to give him some method to upgrade his talent, but this worked just as well. He stayed in a meditative pose (A/N: Lotus Position) whilst cultivating, in order to maximise the level of comfort. He was cultivating for around an hour before he received a notification from the system.
{Congratulations, you have successfully broken through to the Body Refinement Realm! All Stats +1!}
'So, when I break through to a new realm, all of my stats increase, that's going to be insanely overpowered, this'll definitely help with progressing through the Hunter ranks much faster. System, I've been curious about something recently. I've noticed that all of my stat gains have seemed to result in insane multipliers already, are monsters and beings with MP and SP just that much more powerful? By that I mean, is the difference between strength between hunter ranks exponential rather than linear?'
{For making an educated (and correct guess), INT +3. Yes, it may seem a little weird to you since G-Rank and F-Rank in those Webnovels you read would mean that they're extremely weak. This is still the case, but it's just that any awakened being in this world will far outclass any regular civilian. The difference between a civilian at Olympic-level status and a new G-Rank Hunter isn't that far apart. However, The difference between the two is massive once you reach the true peak of G-Rank.}
{Before you asked that question, I was about to announce the completion of the quest, the full Quest will not be displayed again, only the rewards. It seems that your INT value will soon make the [Scan] skill obsolete. Quest Complete!
Rewards: 10 EXP, Ⱡ 25, Random Rare Skill Book.}
'That skill book is probably in my Inventory, [Inventory].'
Sen's Inventory immediately popped up, sure enough, in the first slot, was a book labelled: "Random Skill Book, Tier: Rare",
He tried to take it out of that slot, and it immediately appeared in his hands, and as soon as he did so, a System message popped-up.
{Would you like to learn this skill? Y/N}
'Y'
The book immediately vanished and a new window was opened containing the skill information.
{Name: [Arcane Veil (Active) LVL 1]
Type: Rare-grade Skill Book (Magic)
Description: The Arcane Veil is a potent skill book that imparts a powerful defensive magic to its user. Upon mastering this skill, the practitioner gains the ability to conjure an ethereal and impenetrable shield, known as the Arcane Veil, around themselves or others. The veil is formed from pure magical energy, providing exceptional protection against both physical and magical attacks.
Activation Cost: 5k MP/Sec
Effect: When activated, the user creates an Arcane Veil around themselves or a targeted ally, granting them temporary invulnerability for a brief duration. The veil can withstand a barrage of attacks and repel powerful magical assaults, keeping the protected individual safe from harm. However, the shield is not invincible and has its limits; it will eventually dissipate after absorbing a considerable amount of damage or after its duration expires.}
'Ooh nice, let's check [Status Window] to see how this affects my Mana. But first, please show the new formulae for SP.'
{Of course!}
{SP Formula: (WIS x 15) x (Level) x Cultivation Base (Major Realm + First Minor Realm) x (SPI)

'So that means that I can use that skill for... 60.75 Seconds before I run out of MP, or just over a minute. That's decent, but I doubt I'll need to use it soon. I'll have to test it out in actual combat. What to do next, right! Open my Daily Quest page.'
{Of course!}

Sen grinned, 'Great so it's taking my current abilities into consideration! [Auto-Workout]! Make sure to circulate spiritual energy whilst the workout is in progress. I need to consolidate my current minor realm!'
{Scanning workout... DONE! Commencing workout in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... Workout is now commencing!}
This quest presented him with a workout at a whole new level, but Sen was also at an entirely different level. Whilst it was a tough experience, and his body ended up executing moves that he never would have been able to do, it was manageable. The skill always made sure that his body wasn't overloaded at any time. He also felt as if his muscles were being strengthened as Spiritual Energy flooded to each muscle being used during the workout. The fact that the skill forced his body to execute these moves and he didn't feel any pain meant that he was fully capable of doing this by himself. While this was certainly true, he preferred the convenience of the [Auto-Workout] skill since it always completed the exercises in the correct posture. Sen was also aware that once his physical stats passed a certain threshold, he would have little to no trouble maintaining the correct posture. After completing the workout, he felt refreshed still, but his body also felt much stronger than it did before. This was probably due to his rapid [Natural Regeneration] skill, he recovered from any minor aches and pains in a matter of seconds at this point.
{Quest Completed! Rewards: 20 EXP; your already formidable physical attributes have been elevated; a profound sense of accomplishment and fulfilment, knowing you have refined your abilities as an awakened individual. You have completed your first Daily Quest, you have received a G-Rank Dungeon Key as a reward. +3 STR, +4 PHY, +3 AGI, +4 DEX, +2 VIT, +3 END, +2 STA}
'A G-Rank Dungeon Key?'
Sen was very nervous all of a sudden, he hadn't expected to enter a dungeon so soon! He was also excited, the prospect of fighting fantasy monsters in a dungeon was something he'd only dreamed about before. Now that it was in his hand, he couldn't help but feel these emotions. Even if he had already acclimated to this world somewhat and had knowledge of the existence of "Dungeons", that didn't mean that the idea of entering one was boring to him, it was quite the opposite. He took a deep breath before instructing the system to show him the relevant information about the dungeon.
Wow! That chapter ended up being quite long! I was expecting around 2k words at most, but this is more than I thought I'd manage. You can probably guess what will happen in the next chapter, if not, I've decided to stop including any details at the end of each one, in order to avoid any chance of spoiling you all. As usual, please leave a rating/review, and leave a stone! (Do not feel obligated to do this!) Until next time, peace out!
