Chapter 473
by fanqienovelChapter 473: Panel Upgrade
[Virtue (Breakthrough): 125801]
In the quiet room of the Xun Celestial Guardian’s pavilion, Wang Chen gazed at the data displayed on the Cultivation Panel, lost in contemplation.
During the battle at the Yinwind Cave, he had gained over one hundred thousand Virtue points, pushing his total to an unprecedented peak.
Although Wang Chen currently did not have a great need for Virtue, he primarily leveled up his skills through his own efforts, resorting to using points only when absolutely necessary.
As a result, his consumption of Virtue remained at a relatively low level.
Of course, as his cultivation level increased, the spells Wang Chen mastered became more profound, and he would not mind acquiring even more Virtue.
However, this was not the reason Wang Chen was deep in thought.
In his field of vision, a conspicuous prompt hovered at the top, making it impossible to ignore.
[Would you like to upgrade the system?]
Wang Chen had only been in this world for a few days when he received his own unique abilities.
Without the Cultivation Panel, he would have long since been reduced to ashes in this world where the Strongest ruled.
There was simply no way he could have achieved his current success.
Yet, Wang Chen had never imagined that his unique abilities would actually be upgradeable!
This truly surpassed his expectations.
However, having experienced reincarnation and the unique abilities, Wang Chen quickly accepted the idea of a system upgrade.
As his attention focused on the upgrade message, a number slowly appeared.
100000.
Wang Chen immediately understood this was the requirement for the upgrade—one hundred thousand Virtue points.
In other words, he needed to expend this amount of Virtue to complete the upgrade.
The upgrade message had appeared once Wang Chen’s Virtue points reached one hundred thousand!
He did not hesitate any longer and chose to confirm.
[Virtue (Breakthrough): 25801]
One hundred thousand Virtue points instantly vanished.
Wang Chen’s head buzzed as if struck by a heavy hammer, instantly leaving him feeling dizzy and disoriented.
If it weren’t for his strong will, he probably would have fainted on the spot.
Fortunately, this state only lasted a moment; Wang Chen’s Sea of Consciousness seemed to undergo a reboot process, where everything was first destroyed and scattered before rapidly reorganizing and materializing.
His awareness became extraordinarily clear and transparent, feeling as if he had replaced his CPU, with processing speed suddenly increased.
Moreover, the system had been reinstalled, cleaning out all the burdens and waste.
[Spirit +5]
Wow!
As soon as the "system" completed its update, the information that popped up in Wang Chen’s view nearly made his jaw drop.
5 points of Spirit!
This is truly a super deep bow package!
To know that all of Wang Chen’s four basic attributes have been enhanced four times, adding just 1 point to Spirit requires consuming 10,000 points of Heavenly Merit.
To add 2 points, he would need to consume 100,000 points of Heavenly Merit!
How much Heavenly Merit would be required to add 5 points in a row?
Wang Chen didn’t even want to calculate it because the number was too outrageous.
Now, however, he upgraded the system with one hundred thousand Virtue points and received a 5-point increase in Spirit.
What a huge profit!
Even if the upgraded system remained unchanged from the original, Wang Chen would still wake up smiling from his dreams.
He couldn’t wait to call up the Cultivation Panel.
[Name: Wang Chen]
[Lifespan: 23/220]
[Cultivation Level: Third level of the Purple Palace]
[Physical Strength: 21]
[Root Bone: 7]
[Comprehension: 7]
[Spirit: 26]
…
The long panel truly showed no difference from before, except for the changes in displayed data.
His Spirit indeed increased by 5 points; it was not an illusion.
Was that it?
Wang Chen felt a bit incredulous.
When his gaze moved to the end of the panel, he indeed discovered something new.
[Global Mode Activated]
Global Mode?
With a sense of curiosity, Wang Chen focused his attention on it.
In the next moment, his consciousness instantly spread like a runaway wild horse, uncontrollably expanding in all directions.
Something wonderful happened.
The surrounding environment rapidly presented itself in the form of a flat map within Wang Chen’s Sea of Consciousness, just like a two-dimensional map shown on a navigation app, corresponding to his memories one by one.
It felt as if a voice echoed in Wang Chen’s mind: “Virtue Map, continuously navigating for you…”
Wow! Wow, wow, wow!
Even more astonishingly, on this map appeared dots of various colors.
Green, white, yellow, red…
Some dots were large and luminous, while others were small and dim. Some clustered together, while others were scattered in different corners.
Moreover, many of these dots were in motion.
At the very center, a conspicuous purple light shimmered!
What could this be?
Once again, Wang Chen found himself deep in thought, a faint conjecture forming in his mind.
“Come in.”
With a wave of his hand, he opened the door to the quiet room.
A servant, who had been waiting outside, heard the call and entered respectfully, bowing to Wang Chen, “Master Celestial Guardian!”
Wang Chen spoke lightly, “Summon Meng Fei and his younger siblings.”
The servant bowed, “As you command.”
After the servant departed, a glimmer of comprehension flashed in Wang Chen’s eyes.
Moments ago, in Wang Chen’s vision, a white dot had approached the purple mass, nearly eclipsed by its radiance.
If his guess was correct, the white dot represented the servant, and the purple glow was none other than Wang Chen himself!
The most direct evidence was the white dot now swiftly moving away from the purple mass.
Soon enough, the white dot, accompanied by a cluster of green dots, approached the location of the purple mass.
“Master Celestial Guardian…”
Meng Fei arrived at the quiet room with a dozen younger siblings, all bowing and greeting Wang Chen respectfully.
Wang Chen smiled and nodded, then inquired about their cultivation progress, casually addressing a few questions from the little guys.
“Continue to strive and cultivate diligently.”
Wang Chen did not keep them long; after a few words of encouragement, he sent them on their way.
Meng Fei was left somewhat bewildered.
Wang Chen paid it no mind.
He had deduced that the upgraded Cultivation Panel had introduced a map display feature.
This was the so-called Global Mode!
The area displayed on this map likely corresponded to Wang Chen’s divine sense detection range.
Although his soul attributes had increased by 5 points, the range of his divine sense detection had not expanded, yet he could now discern the allegiances of all individuals within that range!
Green unmistakably signified allies; Meng Fei and his thirteen younger siblings all appeared as green dots.
However, the intensity of the color varied.
Meng Fei’s dot was the deepest and greenest, indicating that this prodigious youth held the highest “favorability” toward him, likely reaching levels of admiration and reverence.
Among these green dots, their sizes also differed, with Meng Fei’s being the largest and brightest, signifying that his cultivation level was the highest!
Wang Chen had meticulously matched each dot and could confirm this with certainty.
As for the white dot representing the servant, it likely belonged to the neutral faction, harboring no malice but also lacking in friendliness or respect.
This servant had only recently been dispatched by the Xi family to the Celestial Guardian’s Pavilion, so an average level of “favorability” was to be expected.
As for the yellow dots displayed on the map…
Wang Chen rose and exited the quiet room, making his way to the small garden in the back courtyard.
His gaze settled upon an old flower farmer!
