Chapter 89: 68. Dusk Sleep_2

[System Message: Due to injecting the “First Strengthening Potion,” you have acquired an Unknown Temporary Effect.]
Noland Lee felt that his condition was strange.
On the one hand, under the influence of the potion, he entered a sleep state, shrouded in darkness, with only system text floating in the air.
On the other hand, he couldn’t control his limbs, nor could he respond to external stimuli while in this sleep state.
But! His consciousness was clear!
He had previously dreamed of the Charming Demon and pulled up his Personal
Panel in the dream.
The situation this time was the same as before.
It was as if he was actually awake and not asleep, just entering a dark area devoid of the concept of time and space.
Noland could think about what the “Unknown Temporary Effect” was, browse his own personal panel, see the “Temporary Effect” on the status bar, and even release the Deconstruction Technique on it.
This kind of magical state, similar to a lucid dream, only appeared after he acquired the Deconstruction Core System.
How amazing!
Was he asleep or not?
Noland was puzzled but didn’t plan to delve deeper into it.
He casually threw the Deconstruction Technique at the “Temporary Effect” on his personal panel.
[System Message: You are about to launch the Deconstruction Technique on the “Unknown Temporary Effect”.]
[It is estimated that 5 Energy Points are needed to deconstruct this effect
100%.]
[You currently have 15 Energy Points. Do you confirm to proceed with the deconstruction?]
Deconstructing “Perception Obstruction” only required 1 point of energy.
But this temporary effect required 5 points.
The consumption increased by 5 times! Noland unhesitatingly silently confirmed, “Proceed with Deconstruction.” The Deconstruction Technique activated.
A fleeting sensation ignored the sleeping state, flashing through Noland’s mind.
The system sent a message:
[Deconstruction Success!]
[You have obtained the panel information of the temporary effect:]
[Name] Dusk Sleep
[Level] Level 1 (Level 15)
Due to the influence of the “Mutation Inhibitor,” the intensity level of Dusk Sleep dropped from Level 15 to Level 1.
As the dosage of the ‘Mutation Inhibitor” decays, the level of Dusk Sleep will increase by 1 level every 24 hours, up to Level 15.
[Type] Mutated Inducing Factor, Mutated Modulation Formula.
[Effect]
The test of Dusk Sleep on you has begun.
Every 24 hours, the strength level of Dusk Sleep will increase by +1, your “Tenacity” attribute value will decrease by -2, and you will gain one non-fatal effect.
Under the influence of the “Mutation Deterioration Blocker,” when your “Tenacity” attribute is about to drop to zero, Dusk Sleep will automatically end, and your “Tenacity” attribute will rapidly return to normal.
Meanwhile, the reward settlement process begins.
The reward will be in the form of character attributes.
The number of rewards will be determined by the level of Dusk Sleep at the time it ends. The higher the level, the more attribute rewards you will receive.
[Description]
Your “Tenacity” base attribute value is 11 points.
Under the influence of Level 1 Dusk Sleep, your “Tenacity” attribute drops to 9 points.
System prediction: In 5 days, the effect of Dusk Sleep will end, the intensity level will be Level 5, and your “Tenacity” attribute will permanently increase by +5.
It is estimated that the first effect brought about by “Dusk Sleep” will officially take effect in 3 minutes.
The effect is: Twilight Dream.
“Oh! I see! So that’s how it is!”
Noland suddenly realized.
The so-called duration of adverse reactions is the number of days it takes for the “Tenacity” attribute to drop to zero.
On the ninth day, as his “Tenacity” attribute was about to drop to zero, he triggered the automatic termination effect of “Dusk Sleep,” which is why he was able to clear all adverse reactions in a high fever.
Understanding this, it’s not hard to come up with a formula:
Duration of Adverse Reactions = Base “Tenacity” attribute value + 2.
Rounding down the calculation results will be the duration of adverse reactions for each person.
With this formula, we can make an approximate inference:
Those with an adverse reaction duration of more than 10 days each have a “Tenacity” attribute value of over 20 points.
Furthermore, as long as one has a “Tenacity” attribute value of more than 20 points at the time of the first injection of the Strengthening Potion, they will inevitably be promoted to a Third Order “Imperial Fist” in the future.
“Imperial Fist” is an extraordinary path that values the “Tenacity” attribute.
Noland’s “Tenacity” attribute is only 11 points, lower than the average value of ordinary adults.
So, he will most likely not be able to advance to the Third Order “Imperial Fist” in the future.
But this isn’t necessarily a bad thing…
He had never thought about staying in the army forever.
In addition to repaying the massive debt for a lifetime, he would also be treated as a toolman, doing dangerous work that could lead to death in a Death Storm at the slightest mistake.
That kind of life wasn’t what he wanted.
If he can’t become a Third Order “Imperial Fist,” then he won’t be one. Who cares about it anyway?
Noland curled his non-existent “lips.”
Just as he was complaining about his “Tenacity” attribute being too low, the 3 minutes passed in a flash.
The first effect brought by “Dusk Sleep” had arrived.
The Twilight Dream began.
Dim light emerged in the darkness before him.
The light grew stronger, illuminating his vision. It resembled the dawn at sunrise, but also the evening glow at dusk.
After adjusting to the change in light, Noland took a closer look and felt his heartbeat speed up several notches..
