East Meet West

62- Setting out 2

After done eating, I saw that Armelia was yawning, so I asked her

“Hey Armelia, did you not have sleep?”

Armelia replied

“Actually, you were unconscious and I was worried that if any accident happened with you while I was sleeping, so I did not sleep.”

Hearing this a smile appeared on my face and I rubbed the small head of Armelia with my hand. And said,

“Thank you for taking care of me. Sleep for few more hours and then we will set off.”

“Heyy...”

Armelia shyly looked at me with half closed eyes and her face was slightly red. It was like she enjoyed the feeling but she wanted to show angry expression as I touched her head and treating her like a small girl.

I removed my hand and went a little away from Armelia and laid down. Seeing, me lay, Armelia also laid down and closed her eyes.

As earlier i was enough sleep, I was not sleepy. So, to pass some time, I decided to check the unread messages from the system.

So, I started looking at the messages one by one.

‘ding’

‘Hidden function unlocked’

‘As the host has increased the ‘Defense’ stat by more than 75, hidden function related to HP and (Defense) stat has activated.’

‘From now, for each increase of (Defense) stat by 1, will result in increase of HP by 10.’

‘Note: As the ‘Resistance’ stat is so low, there are few functions which are not available. Requesting the host to increase the ‘Resistance’ stat.’

-------------------------------

When I read this, instinctively a smile appeared on my face, as this is a good news for me. With this, my decreasing HP every minute can be solved to certain extent.

Although I am a little stressed about the ‘Resistant’ stat issue, but I can only hope to find a solution, .i.e., to get rid of the poison present in my body, which in turn will solve the ‘Resistance’ stat issue.

Putting this matter behind, I continued looking at the rest of the messages.

I saw that hidden ability related to ‘Sense’ and ‘Intelligence’ stat was also upgraded which made me happy.

Due to upgrade of hidden ability related to ‘Sense’, I will recover MP at a faster speed. That is 1 Mp per 45 seconds. Actually, it should have been 1 Mp per 30 seconds, but due to poison condition, the recovery speed has changed from 40 seconds to 45 seconds.

As for the hidden ability related to ‘Intelligence’ stat, now for every increase of ‘Intelligence’ stat by 1, the MP limit will increase by 10. Previously, it was 10 MP increase for every increase in ‘Intelligence’ stat by 2.

Other messages were related to level ups, enemy’s power level and the confirmation that it is dead, amount of exp obtained, and the number of ‘Free stat points obtained and some other messages.

After done reading all the messaged, I told the system to add 5 ‘Free stat points’ in ‘Resistance’ stat every 5 seconds, until it reaches its limit.

Half a minute or something passed and the system notification rang,

‘ding’

‘(Resistance) stat limit has been reached. Unable to add more (Free stat points).’

Reading that the limit has been reached, I opened the Status window again to have a look.

.

I saw that ‘Resistance’ stat limit was only increased from 39 to 46, which made me smile wryly. All that pain and loss I had go through, sigh.

But still, I cannot be dissatisfied because at least something is better than nothing.

Suddenly, once again the system notification rang,

‘Ding'

‘Host has received 33 Free stat points’

‘Because when the (Resistance) stat was stuck at 39 and host continued leveling up, the points that were supposed to be added to the (Resistance) stat after leveling up was not added due to limitations. Now those points are given to the host. Host can use them according to his wish.’

.

I was happy after reading this. Due to few circumstances and situations, I did not notice the fact that, the points that were supposed to be added after leveling up to all my stats. But due to ‘Resistance’ being stuck at 39, its allotted points were missing and I failed to notice that. But when the system reminded me about this, I realized that I was supposed get more points.

So, now I had a look at the available ‘Free stat points’ and I was excited to find that I had 384 ‘Free stat points’ remaining.

With so many ‘Free stat points’, I could get a huge upgrade.

After thinking for few moments, I decided to add 50 ‘Free stat points’ to ‘Strength’, ’Agility’, ‘Defense’, ‘Sense’, ‘Stamina’ and ‘Intelligence’ stats each.

I decided to use 300 ‘Free stat points’, and keep the remaining 84 ‘Free stat points’ as an emergency backup.

So, I told the system

“System, add 10 ‘Free stat points’ to ‘Strength’, ’Agility’, ‘Defense’, ‘Sense’, ‘Stamina’ and ‘Intelligence’ stats each for 5 times at an interval of 10 seconds each.”

The first batch of 10 ‘Free stat points’ were added to my stats and I was clearly able to feel the changes happening in body, senses and other things.

After waiting for another 10 seconds, the second batch of 10 ‘Free stat points’ were added to my stats and once again I was clearly able to feel the changes happening in body, senses and other things.

And simultaneously the system notification rang,

‘ding’

========================================

Let's make a few goals.

Mass Release on Monday:

100 Power stones = 2 Chapters

120 Power stones = 3 Chapters

140 Power stones = 4 Chapters

(Only if I reach this goal, will I be Mass releasing the chapters. Because I have started working in a company, and am tired when I return home. So, If I could see your support through this, I can reassure myself that ‘Yeah, I can still work on this novel and can also start new works’ for my readers.)
