Thanks for the invitation, I am in the state of collapse, brushing attribute upgrade

"Are you sure to upgrade?

whether? "

Chapter 39: Upgrade? Prepare for a rainy day

Master Tao, am I done?

Can I upgrade now?

Looking at the big "Yes/No" option, even though Gwen tried hard to calm himself down, he still felt a little excited.

Originally, Gwyn planned to continue challenging higher-level guards or heroic warriors, in order to test what level of "great achievements" he would need to achieve to upgrade, but he didn't expect that he had already achieved what was required for the upgrade.

This not only means that Gwyn's thinking is basically correct, and that in order to upgrade, one needs to accomplish certain "great deeds", such as defeating powerful enemies, but also means that the conditions required for upgrading are lower than Gwyn expected.

At most, he only needed to defeat a team of low-level death squads to meet the upgrade conditions. That meant that at least for the first few levels, Gwyn did not have to worry about finding the "great deeds" required for the upgrade, and could achieve them directly in the virtual training room of Destiny.

In this way, Gwyn's upgrade path will be smoother and more successful than originally expected, and he won't have to worry about having to face the Herrscher head-on despite the huge gap in strength in order to upgrade.

However, despite being pleasantly surprised, Gwen did not rashly click "yes". Instead, he tried hard to control his trembling thoughts and chose "no" -

It is almost foreseeable that as Gwyn's strength increases, it will become increasingly difficult to obtain ability values.

Once Gwyn reaches a level or two, the normal training that currently brings huge improvements will no longer yield any benefits.

Therefore, at this moment when no crisis has emerged that is urgent enough to threaten his life, Gwyn decided to first improve his level 1 attributes. He did not want to raise his mental attributes to EX level, but at least he wanted them to be capped at three S levels.

Based on the similarities between the current upgrade system and the grace system of the Earthly World, Gwyn has reason to believe that after the upgrade, his existing attributes will be transformed into hidden ability values and retained as part of his "instrument", becoming the cornerstone of lv2.

Based on the current rate of progress, Gwyn believes that he only needs another ten days or half a month to max out all his attributes.

In that case, why not wait until all attributes are maxed out before upgrading?

Trying hard to control himself from clicking on the flickering level, Gwen closed his attribute panel, glanced at the chat group interface which remained unchanged, and sighed in his heart.

Although the lower upgrade threshold of the upgrade system makes Gwyn's path to self-improvement much smoother, it does not mean that Gwyn does not want to have another cheat code available at the same time.

"Forget it, if it's not there, then it's not there. This saves me the hassle of deciding whether to lie or be honest..."

In the end, Gwen could only comfort himself in this way. He drank two pots of tea, read some study materials, and prepared to go to bed.

Of course, before going to bed, Gwyn did not forget his bedtime homework. He poured all the Honkai energy that could be driven in his body into the light and shadow stone summoned into the quilt to practice energy-level training.

However, Gwen, who had fallen asleep as soon as he touched his pillow every day for a month and a half after being discharged from the hospital, unexpectedly suffered from insomnia today.

Although Gwen was a little discouraged by the silence in the chat group, the good news brought by the upgraded system made Gwen very excited, and even his sleepiness was suppressed.

Out of boredom, Gwen called out the system again, but this time he opened the mall.

Gwyn is usually busy with study and training, and he hardly has time to take a close look at the countless white goods in the mall. Now he just takes a look.

After taking a look at his points which had increased to more than 8,000, Gwen did not act rashly, but began to look through the white goods as he had thought before.

Half a month ago, the limited-time store refreshed, and Gwyn checked the non-white items in it that day.

It’s a pity that this time, no high-end products that Gwyn could use were refreshed. There were only two props that seemed to be for Kamen Rider and Sentai to switch their forms. They were not even worth mentioning.

The props from the special effects studio were refreshed twice in a row, which made Ge Wen even wonder if this mall had gone to the wrong set.

If the mall follows the upgrade system, then it was probably originally intended to cultivate a non-mainstream special effects protagonist with a flesh-and-blood monster;

If this mall follows a chat group, then it might be to cultivate a group owner who will gather a bunch of special effects studio characters to fight suit battles...

Could it be that the reason my invitation letter didn't respond is because Honkai Impact 3rd isn't a special effects studio?

Gwyn, whose thoughts were wandering, was stunned when he thought of this.

But then he thought of the light and shadow stone in his hand, and Gwyn felt that something was wrong, otherwise he would not be able to get this light and shadow stone.

"Once I've accumulated enough points, I'll buy ten invitations at once and try to draw a 'ten-draw'. After all, it's normal to get rejected when it comes to invitations..."

Comforting himself in this way, Gwen immersed his mind in the countless white goods in the sea, wanting to see if there was anything worth buying.

As we all know, browsing Taobao is always addictive. Ge Wen quickly immersed himself in it and temporarily forgot about the troubles about the chat group.

When Gwen felt a little tired and really closed his eyes to sleep, there were already a few more white items in the "backpack" that came with Gwen's mall.

However, it wasn't anything particularly impressive. It was just some generous amounts of good quality drinking water, and a few vehicles that could adapt to most terrains. All in all, it only cost a few dozen points.

Although Gwyn is very satisfied with his current life at the Destiny headquarters, he believes that he is just a pawn in Otto's unknown plan, and there is a high possibility that the day will come when he will turn against him.

By that time, not to mention that the whole world will be your enemy, your situation will not be very good. Even before you join Anti-Entropy or the World Serpent, you may be hunted for a while.

It is better to prepare these things in advance than to lose your life due to negligence later.

Similarly, Gwen bought the Light and Shadow Stone not only to gamble on his luck, but also to prepare for a rainy day.

If Otto really rebels in the future, perhaps the armor on his body will not be taken back, but wearing it to fight against fate will always be risky.

No one can be sure whether Tianming has the means to remotely control the armor he created.

By then, if Gwyn could have a set of armor that was of good quality, had nothing to do with fate, and was completely under his control, it would make him feel much more at ease.

Therefore, not to mention that Gwyn is currently unable to use the Light and Shadow Stone to summon armor, even if he could do it, Gwyn would not reveal it unless it was a matter of life and death.

How could there be a rebel who would expose his complete weapons and armor to the tyrant before even starting the rebellion?

After Gwyn fell into a deep sleep, the light and shadow stone that Gwyn used as a pillow today still emitted a soft earthy yellow halo as usual, but it lasted a little longer than usual...

Chapter 40 Upgrade!

Half a month passed quickly as Gwen studied hard and trained hard.

"Then I'll go first, Sister Amber..."

Outside the restaurant, Gwyn, who had eaten and drunk his fill, smiled and waved goodbye to the bishop's secretary who was wearing golden crystal goggles.

"See you……"

Upon hearing this, Amber waved goodbye to Gwyn and turned to leave. The golden crystal cloak behind her fluttered slightly in the breeze.

Because Yulan Dell, Rita and Anna were all on missions, Gwen had dinner today at a restaurant that Anna highly recommended.

In the restaurant, Gwen unexpectedly met Amber who was also there for dinner.

Gwen was no stranger to Amber. In addition to the home visit and explanation on the night of his discharge from the hospital, Gwen had also met the bishop's secretary several times after taking a medicinal bath.

When acquaintances meet, they naturally say hello. However, Gwyn forgot that Amber was also a straightforward person, so he invited Amber to his table, which led to the farewell scene just now.

Although Gwen was a little hesitant about his chance encounter with Amber in the restaurant, he suppressed his doubts in his heart and remained calm on the surface, acting openly and naturally -

Less than three months after traveling through time, Gwen has gained a lot of experience in interacting with the opposite sex and is no longer easily timid.

The scene of Gwyn, the hottest young man, having dinner with Amber, the famous bishop's secretary, and waving goodbye was seen by many people present and posted on the headquarters community forum, where it quickly became a hot topic.

After all, although Gwyn, the pseudo-stupid boy, is not a standout among the flowers in the headquarters, his resistance to Honkai energy makes him almost the same, and he is quite popular in the headquarters community.

The people who often appear around Gwyn are also not simple. It is rumored that Rita, who has the potential to become the new S-class soon, Anna, the genius girl of the Shaniat family, and the King of Rolls, Urandel, who is almost known to everyone in the headquarters, have made Gwyn a "celebrity" mentioned by many people in casual conversation.

Now, Gwen even had dinner with Amber, the bishop's secretary, and addressed her affectionately, which added fuel to the fire in the community that was beginning to show a trend of stock speculation.

However, Gwen himself did not care about the popularity he caused, or he did not pay attention to it at all.

Compared to such insignificant things, Gwen still wanted to go home as soon as possible -

After half a month of diligent study and training, Gwen's attribute values have basically grown to the limit of three Ss as he expected. As of yesterday, only Energy, which started late, was still a little short. And today -

"Gwen——level 1

Strength - SSS1999

Durable - SSS1999

Dexterity - SSS1999

Spirit - EX

Energy——SSS1999

Energy system: None

Sitting on the sofa, looking at the ability values that had finally reached the three S limits after his hard training day after day, Gwen couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Although there was no surprise when seeing progress every day, Gwyn couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment when looking at these luxurious numbers.

Of course, Gwen, who had always suspected that there might be surveillance cameras in his home to monitor him as a pawn, did not upgrade them directly, but instead prepared some cover—

Gwen turned up the light in the bathroom to the maximum and took a shower without turning on the ventilation or hairdryer. Soon the bathroom was filled with white mist and visibility was reduced to the lowest level.

After raising his hand and making sure that the fog was thick enough, Gwyn excitedly opened his attribute panel.

Although upgrading in the underground world does not have any special effects, Gwyn is using the same system after all, so he still chooses to take precautions.

Looking at the flashing "lv1" that made his heart beat faster unconsciously, Gwen held his breath and focused, clicking on it with his mind, and a pop-up window popped up.

Faced with this "yes/no" choice again, Gwen clicked "yes" without any hesitation.

As his thoughts clicked, Gwen felt a flash before his eyes, and a hot current suddenly surged through his limbs and bones, making Gwen feel as if magma was flowing in his blood vessels. He seemed to have become the Monkey King in the alchemy furnace, his body seemed to be roasted by the Samadhi True Fire, and was about to be refined into an elixir.

In an instant, a stream of heat surged out of Gwen's pores, which were open and closed because he had just taken a hot bath, accompanied by sweat dripping down, causing the temperature in the bathroom to rise by more than ten degrees again.

The next moment, Gwyn felt a burning sensation from inside to outside, from body to soul, but his mind suddenly became inexplicably clear. He even suddenly entered a special perspective, as if he saw all the changes happening in his body at this moment.

However, with Gwyn's current mental strength and knowledge reserves, it was nothing but a pipe dream to understand this change.

Before Gwen could carefully study the scene that passed by his eyes, his vision returned to the white bathroom, and everything he had just seen was like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water, unreal and hazy, as if it was just an illusion.

Knowing that this was not a secret he could explore at the moment, Gwen shook his head and wiped the sweat from his face. He was shocked to find that his body temperature seemed too high, and he could even smell a faint strange odor in his nose.

Recalling some scenes from novels he had read in his previous life, Gwen looked down and saw that although the sweat in his palm was extremely hot, it was no different from ordinary sweat. There was no such phenomenon as described in the novels: the pores were stretched... and the body was covered with smelly mud after washing and marrow removal.

Feeling his still burning body, Gwen felt as if he was Sun Wukong, who had walked through Laozi's alchemy furnace and refined the medicinal power of the golden elixir and peaches in his body, and felt relaxed all over.

Silently feeling the changes in his body after the upgrade, Gwen did not check the system immediately, but instead released hot water to wash his burning body.

As Gwyn gradually lowered the water temperature, Gwyn's body temperature also dropped rapidly and returned to normal.

After spending some time clearing away the mist and odor in the bathroom, Gwen, wrapped in a towel, lay on the bed, resting his hands on his head in a daze, but his current attribute panel had already appeared in his eyes -

"Gwen——level 2

Strength - I0

Durability——I0

Dexterity - I0

Spirit - I0

Energy——I0

Energy system: None

Develop abilities (optional): nourishing the soul with the soul, nourishing the body with the soul, and the power of the earth.

Seeing that his ability values had indeed all changed from the three S's before the upgrade to I0 starting with "i", Gwen quietly breathed a sigh of relief -

This means that Gwyn's guess is correct. The upgrade system he has is extremely similar to the grace of the world of Dicuo. The ability values are evaluated by grades starting with I~S. After upgrading, they become hidden ability values and can continue to improve.

It’s just that Gwyn’s system seems to be more powerful, making the protagonist’s original ability value of over a thousand no longer out of reach for Gwyn.

Chapter 41 As we all know, experience BUFF is very important for upgrading

Although he did not have the inner vision ability commonly seen in martial arts or fantasy worlds, and he could hardly see anything in the quick glance just now, but even just by feeling, Gwyn could feel that he was now stronger than he was before the upgrade.

This means that for Gwyn, the ability value of the previous level, that is, the attribute is retained as a hidden attribute.

Of course, although the changes in basic ability values here are in line with Gwyn's expectations, it was expected after all and did not bring too much surprise to Gwyn.

In comparison, it was the newly emerged development capabilities below that surprised Gwen even more.

Although he could no longer clearly remember the specific definition of development abilities in Dicuo's favor system, in Gwyn's understanding, this was an ability that could be considered a passive skill, allowing the person concerned to possess some special abilities or talents.

For example, "Magic" can enhance the user's magical power, effect range, and mental energy consumption, and is a proof of being a high-level magician.
