Lee was sitting on the chair in a room inside the doctor's house. An Fenfang slept on the bed across the room. Her pale black colouration had gone and the doctor told him that she'll wake up in about 2 days. An unexpected loud sigh gave the doctor a reason to chuckle, but Lee who sigh didn't intend to do so. It was completely involuntary.
Lee placed his clasped hands on the table and glanced at the screen. His eyes were not focused on anything, but thoughts were revolving around what D said earlier. Before the situation worsens, D said calmly.
[Don't dwell in the past. Nobody wanted to transfer you here. No one wanted to give you trouble. Will had already assessed that you might not be able to go with the ways of this plane. So the skill it gave will fill the gap. And you have your sword mastery unlocked. It's a win-win situation.]
Lee silently listened to his consoling words. But as D expected, Lee wasn't down. He was finding a new way to grow strong and great.
'D, I get it. You don't have to repeat it again...but I have to ask, are there anymore hidden system features and gifts yet to unlock and open?!'
[Yes. Like your memory, the system will improvise itself in the course of time. Wasn't I a sentient and powerful being once?!]
'From your evaluation, what's the level of my attributes?! How can my stats be represented in this dimension's terms?!'
D went silent for a moment. Lee anxiously waited for his reply. As time went by, he grew restless.
[In relation to this world's powerhouses, you have the stats of a Soul Transformation peak stage cultivator or combat skills definitely above an elite grade mana user.]
Lee was amazed by D's evaluation. Every time he hears D, his expectations and logic are reset to another level. Lee felt calm and composed on hearing this.
'Incredible'
His words were accompanied with raised brows. He was suppressing his excitement deep inside.
'How to cultivate Qi and master Mana?!'
Lee voiced the most important question. He had resolved his mind to challenge his difficulties and conquer great heights. D didn't speak. Instead, a pale grey screen appeared. On the screen was a stick figure with no facial features. It held a microphone in one of its hands. A blackboard materialised from thin air and stood right next to him.
[Testing..one..two..woof..woof..dubidy....dubidy.do.do....pe pe!]
'D, did you hit your head somewhere?! You're abnormally crazy.'
[I was doing a mic test. We're good to go.
Cultivation and Mastery are done in------>
-----------------------------
The introduction lecture was about 10 minutes. After that, D briefly explained as to why Lee will face difficulty in future.
[For Qi affinity, a Qi Dantian is needed. For Mana affinity, Mana Pool is needed. These help the host to absorb respective energy from the atmosphere or food or any input. I have created an artificial Dantain and Pool that cannot help you in absorbing the energy, but can accumulate them limitlessly. Due to this feature, you don't have to take rest or break between breakthroughs. To compensate this advantage, you'll have to actively struggle to absorb Qi and Mana. Other factors regarding these are------------>
The theory part was about an hour. During this time, the doctor once entered the room to check Fenfang's condition. He couldn't find anything more weirder than Lee staring at the wall with clenched fists and enthusiastic smile in the room.
D finished his class and the screen disappeared. Before he summoned D for further questioning, few screens appeared.
=====
Due to the host's inability to actively cultivate Qi and master Mana, 'cultivation techniques' and 'magic spells' have been locked and hidden from sight. They will be unlocked according to the host's capability.
=====
Respective shop sections are merged to form a single section called 'Abilities'. It will take about a day to merge all together. Make maximum use of this section by buying 'Abilities' using Essence.
=====
'EsGen' has been upgraded. Now, living beings can be used as input. They will not perish or wither, but will be in a suspended state when inside the Inventory. Essence will be extracted at regular intervals until the being dies from old age. Can act as a pet storage, with benefits. Storage limit: infinite.
=====
Affinity can be extended to professions and hobbies. Immunity has been extended to mental-attacks.
=====
Hidden skill unlocked!
'Essence converter' obtained. Helps to convert Essence to any desired form of energy.
=====
Hidden quest 'Forging way in darkness' completed!
10 Attribute points obtained.
300 Essence obtained.
=====
Lee could only put on a smile as he asked D-
'You really are trying to make me cultivate, eh?!'
[I don't know what you're talking about!]
'.....leave it. We've got a lot of things to test and run. Let's get somewhere safe and alone.'
Doctor saw Lee walking out of the room with an expressionless face. He didn't go out, but went to Paulo's house.
"Village head, I'm feeling tired. Can I go and take a nap?!" (Lee)
"Oh, sure. Younger generation must take enough rest to stay strong to protect dear ones in future." (Paulo)
Lee didn't mind his remark and went upstairs to take a look at the new features he obtained.
'Full status!'
