I'm having fun in Tokyo

But it costs 500 store points.

Oh well, I just finished defeating Asaka and got 600 points. Adding that to the 950 points I had left, I have a total of 1550 points. It doesn't matter if I exchange them.

"Exchange it." He nodded to himself.

"Exchange in progress..."

"Exchange complete, loading..."

"Loading successful!"

The system voice announced: "The 'Level and Status Assessment' function has been activated, automatically assessing the level and status of others for the host."

"Please note that the 'Level and Status Assessment' function essentially uses the host's own information as the standard to simulate and predict the level and status of others, which may differ from reality..."

Morikawa Yu frowned, noticing a new line of text above Asaka's head.

Asaka originally had a resolution to "atone for her sins," but after fighting him, she changed her mind and decided to "sever ties with the past."

After the Qingluo campaign ended, the phrase "severing the past" also disappeared.

Now he saw words appear above Asaka's head again, indicating level "10" and status "perfect". After the status, there was a line of faint text with parentheses after the text, which read level 15 (hidden).

Level 15?

Asaka's original form was a top-tier high-ranking great yokai, equivalent to level 15?

Morikawa Yu remembered that he had just leveled up to level 12, but Asaka's human form was two levels lower than him, while her original form was three levels higher than him?

He frowned, suddenly realizing that the level was just an estimate, not that Asaka's original form was level 15.

Moreover, if we're really going by rank, Qingluo's rank is probably higher than Qianxiang's, but she still got controlled by her own true damage and was executed.

"System, what is Qingluo's estimated level?" he asked, but he didn't know if the system would answer.

"Simulation and estimation in progress... Completed."

On the system interface in his consciousness, Qingluo's final appearance appeared.

Next to it is marked level "17", status "Ghosts and Gods Appear: Strength increased, resistance to damage increased." "Divinity Collapse: Life force is being consumed in large quantities, and the life force absorption effect is reduced. The consumption rate is gradually accelerating until the body collapses, consciousness dissipates, and life ends."

Morikawa Yu was taken aback to find that someone had reached level 17.

The real injury actually helped him defeat Qingluo despite being so many levels above him?

Is this rating system inaccurate?

He thought about it for a moment. Asaka's original form was level 15. Qingluo crushed Asaka and Kurozo. After completely becoming a demon god, even the Great Fox's one-tailed incarnation was no match for her. It seemed understandable that she was level 17.

No wonder I got so much experience from defeating her. Even with the skin bonus of 1500 and not counting the skin bonus of 1000, I still got 5000 shop points.

"What's the estimated level of Nishino?" he asked the cat girl at home.

"Simulation and estimation in progress... Completed."

In his mind, Qingluo disappeared from the system interface and was replaced by Xiye, exactly as she looked when he went out and touched her head.

Next to Nishino's name is a level "5" and her status is "Happy: She's probably in a good mood because she was comforted by being patted on the head? Her affection for the person in front of her has increased, meow."

This... this rating function isn't really inaccurate, is it?

Nishino has already become a great monster, but he's only level 5?

"Where's my sister?" Morikawa Yu asked immediately, then added, "And Xinjue, what are their levels?"

"Simulation and estimation in progress... Completed."

Nishino disappeared from the system interface, replaced by her older sister and Kokoro.

When he left, his sister was upstairs. On the screen, she was holding the computer he had just given her, typing on the keyboard. There was no level indicator next to her, only a status: "Relaxed: Although I haven't written the manuscript yet, I'll play some games to relax first!"

Xin Jue was standing next to Xi Ye at the time. There was no level label on the interface, only a status: "Dissatisfaction: Why wasn't I patted on the head? I'll find a chance to get rid of this guy sooner or later."

Ah this...

Damn, this is too weird.

Take another look.

He looked for a long time but still couldn't find the level markings. However, his sister's and Xinjue's status made him realize that his sister also had a lazy side.

Shinjue found it strange that he actually wanted to drive Nishino away.

Nishino didn't do anything to her, did he?

He thought about it for a moment and felt that the function was still not very accurate, so he asked several more people, including Hisui and Mitsuko, Lady Kazumi and Sen-chan, the Tokugawa family god Kurozo whom he had met before, and the Fujiwara family god messenger Kuno.

Chapter 329 Path to Promotion

As a result, neither Hiizuki nor Mitsuko had a level label. When he went out, their statuses were Hiizuki (relaxed and content: the stinky fox finally obeyed).

Mitsuko's state of mind is (Regret: I'll tolerate this for a while; one day I will become the mistress of this house.)

Lady Kazumi, Chi-chan, and Kuno also do not have rank labels.

The Tokugawa family god Kurozo is similar to Asaka; his human form has a level marker indicating level 11, and a hidden level marker indicating level 15.

He originally guessed that his sister and Xinjue were ordinary monsters, so there was no level label.

But neither Fei Yue nor the Great Fox had any. Could they be ordinary monsters?

How can it be?

The way Scarlet Moon killed the God of Abundance and the God of Tsukuyomi was far more powerful than that of the gods. How could she possibly be an ordinary monster?

He had a question in his mind, so he asked Ryoko and the shrine maiden again, and found that Ryoko and the shrine maiden did not have level markings, only status.

Ryoko's status is "Withering: Immortality is not the same as immortality; life has an end." Hime-miya is the same as when she appeared at Abe's house, and her status is "Disappointed: If I had acted faster, I would have snatched him."

He knew about Ryoko's physical condition, of course.

He had already prepared a shrinking potion for her, intending to find an opportunity to turn her into a little girl.

But he never expected that the shrine maiden in Kyoto would have this idea.

Fortunately, Ryoko arrived quickly.

After watching for a while, Morikawa Yu roughly figured out the estimation criteria for this level status assessment function.

He started as a swordsman at level 1, reached level 4 when fighting Hannya Onimen, and level 6 when fighting Chizuru.

Both Hannya Onimen and Chizuru are great demons, but they are suppressed by themselves. Their level of great demon rating is estimated to be between level 1 and level 6.

When I was at level seven or eight, I fought against the consciousness clone of Inari God. Its strength was at a relatively weak level among high-ranking great yokai, while Asaka's human form was at a mid-level among high-ranking great yokai, equivalent to my level 10.

She herself, as the original form of a top-tier high-ranking demon, has not tried it, but it is marked as equivalent to her own level 15.

Therefore, the rating of a high-ranking demon should be between level 7 and level 15.

Once you pass level 15, you fall outside the category of high-ranking great yokai, such as Qingluo who becomes a demon god, but level 18 is clearly not the corresponding level for a great yokai in the Age of Gods.

Shinjuku, her older sister, Sen-chan, and Lady Kazumi don't have ranks. They are probably stronger than ordinary people, but they are far from the level of sword masters and great demons, which is why they don't have ranks.

Hiizuki, the Great Fox, Ryoko, and the Priestess Hime have no levels. The Great Yokai of the Age of Gods and other super-strong individuals of the same level are estimated to be above level 18.

From this perspective, even a master swordsman who has mastered the unity of mind and skill but has not grasped the ultimate meaning, and a household god messenger who is close to a great demon, should not have any level.

The lower limit of my system is surprisingly high.

Starting level 1 is the swordsman who has mastered the ultimate skill, which corresponds to the great yokai among yokai.

Level 7 is the threshold for becoming a high-ranking great yokai, level 10 is the middle level of a high-ranking great yokai, level 11 is the threshold of becoming a great swordsman, and level 15 is the top level of a high-ranking great yokai.

Demons and gods between levels 16 and 18 are superior to high-ranking great yokai, but below the great yokai of the Age of Gods.

The four strongest gods—the Great Yokai of the Age of Gods, the Priestess Hime, and Ryoko—have no levels, presumably because they exceed level 18.

If I'm currently level 12, what should I do when I reach level 18?

Is level 18 the limit for me?

Does a high lower limit mean a low upper limit?

No way?

How can I improve my position in the family? How can I surpass my wife, Scarlet Moon, and the Great Fox?

Morikawa Yu suddenly began to worry.

He thought and thought, considering the level of his own system, when suddenly he remembered something.

When he first obtained the [Nightbringer], there was also an additional message that read, "After completing the Ascension Trial, you will receive the title 'Legend of the Night' and unlock the Nightbringer's advancement path [Primordial Darkness]."

When I asked the system how to participate in the trial, the system said that my level was too low and I did not meet the requirements.

Could this promotion path be the key to breaking through level 18?

Once you break through the barrier, you can exceed the limits?

When he killed Inari, the god said in shock and anger that he was the same as the great fox and the others. Could it be because he had skin and the possibility of passing the trials and surpassing the gods?

He was somewhat expectant and immediately asked the system.

"System, if I complete the skin's sublimation trial, will I be able to break through to level 18?"

"Yes, host has completed the Ascension Trial and broken through the level cap." The system said: "The minimum level requirement for the Ascension Trial is level 16. Once you meet this requirement, you can proceed with the trial."

"Successfully completing the trial will grant you promotion."

"Each trial mission can only be attempted once. If you fail, you cannot attempt the trial mission for that advancement path again."

He paused for a moment: "You can't try again after failing? Every trial? Besides the Nightbringer, are there other trial missions?"

"Yes, each of the host's skins has a corresponding trial mission and promotion path."

"You can unlock skins by completing skin tasks."

"Your current skin is [Nightbringer], and the ongoing skin mission is [True Damage]. You are currently on 'Mission Three' and the 'Final Mission' is pending completion."

Oh, I see. Then it seems alright.

Once you reach level 16, you can undertake trial missions. Completing these missions will allow you to advance in rank.

In addition to the Nightbringer skin, there's also the True Damage skin that I'm currently working on, as well as six or seven other skins from the Project series that I haven't gotten yet, including Crimson Moon.

Even if one path fails, there are other avenues for advancement to choose from.

Thinking about it that way, it doesn't seem so bad.

Morikawa Yu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the system again.

He currently has the [Nightbringer] skin, as well as the [True Damage] skin appearance.

The final mission of [True Damage] requires him to complete a grand performance, but he is unsure what constitutes a grand performance, or whether the performance it refers to is a performance in the literal sense.

Right now, I'm busy with the Kui Xing Flag and improving my skills, so the performance can be put on hold for now.

Only by leveling up as quickly as possible can you undertake trial missions.

The higher your level, the easier it is to complete tasks.

Today, Asaka gave herself 240 experience points and 600 shop points. The club members and Keiko Kendo had a total of 165 experience points, but no shop points.

加上之前的1870/3000经验和950点商店余额，现在经验栏涨到了12级2275/3000，商店余额减去刚刚兑换的等级状态评定功能的500点，还剩1050点。

He then looked at the newly added level status assessment function in the system.

This status assessment function is divided into two parts: status assessment and status prediction.

The rating system is less of an assessment and more of an estimation, using one's own experience level to estimate the corresponding level of others.

Although not entirely accurate, it still has some reference value and can be used to some extent.

Deducing states can be considered a form of incomplete mind reading.

Unlike enlightenment, which allows one to directly hear what others are thinking, it can still infer their current state and is very valuable for reference.

Overall, this new feature is quite good.

500 store points is quite a good deal.

He looked at Asaka again: "Anyway, we just need to know about restraining our divinity, don't tell anyone else."

Asaka nodded: "Yes."

Morikawa Yu looked at Asaka for a long time and felt that with her lazy and arrogant personality, she probably wouldn't bother to talk about this with others.
