3 SYSTEM (2)

"It would've been better if I got a system with its own consciousness that will explain everything rather than racking my brain for minutes to understand what's this and what's that."

Elie, who had initially complained about the lack of a more explanatory system, was taken aback by the system's unexpected response.

DING* [Master, if you had simply asked earlier, like, 'Hey system, can you explain this?' instead of getting lost in your celebration, we wouldn't be in this situation. It's your fault, not mine.] ((￣ー￣)) The system said, its voice tinged with a playful, almost "female" tone.

Elie, who had just been referred to as a "stupid monkey," found the remark rather infuriating. After all, he believed himself to be the most handsome man alive, and being compared to a monkey was utterly unforgivable!

Before Elie could retort, the system chimed in again.

DING* [Master, I understand you may have already guessed the system's functions, but allow me to explain for better clarity. Aren't I an excellent system?]p(^-^)q* the system proclaimed, its message accompanied by a smug emoticon.

This is what Elie imagined the system's expression would look like if it had a face.

Elie, unable to conceal his astonishment, could only stare at the floating blue screen before him. The system was incredibly shameless, almost infuriatingly so!

DING* [In this world of magic and cultivation, the Body Constitution and Soul Constitution are pivotal. Body Constitution influences one's ability to absorb and use mystical energies, affecting the cultivation speed. Those with favourable Body Constitutions progress rapidly, while others struggle to harness these energies. Soul Constitution, on the other hand, determines the strength of one's soul, impacting mental fortitude and magical prowess. A robust Soul Constitution enables control of profound magic. The harmony between these two Constitutions is crucial to success, with those possessing both poised for greatness. It's a world where physical and spiritual strengths intertwine on the path to mastery.]

Elie, who was listening intently, nodded in agreement. He was already familiar with Constitutions from his experiences with games, anime, and novels.

"Now, please explain how my level increases and tell me about the skill shop," Elie requested.

DING* [Master's advancement relies on attribute points. To level up, the Master needs five attribute points, which can be earned through quests or training. Each point is gained by enhancing strength, vigour, intelligence, or other abilities. This system emphasizes continuous development, with attribute points representing a currency of growth, allowing Masters to progress and enhance their abilities. It's a dynamic journey of self-improvement in a world where strength and knowledge are paramount.]

Curiosity piqued, Elie inquired, "Hey, system, does it become harder to level up as I reach higher levels, like in those games where the higher your level, the harder it is to level up?"

DING* [Master, you need not worry. Your level progression remains consistent, with five attribute points required for each level. There's no increase in the difficulty of levelling up as you progress. If that's all you wish to know, I can continue.]

DING* [In this realm, the Shop feature empowers the Master with the extraordinary ability to acquire any item or power, provided they have the necessary payment. The currency for these transactions is the attribute points earned through your efforts and training. As long as you possess sufficient attribute points, you can exchange them in the Shop for your desired items or abilities, making it a versatile and dynamic resource for your journey.]

DING* [Lastly, completing quests brings rewards upon successful accomplishment. There's no need to fret about accepting quests, as you can decline them. To refuse, you simply expend one attribute point for a side quest or two points for a major quest. This flexibility ensures you can select quests that align with your goals and abilities while managing your attribute points wisely.]

Elie couldn't help but laugh at the newfound understanding of his system's functions. He realized how straightforward and convenient his life could be with these features. However, he had no intention of letting his guard down, having read enough about young masters getting assassinated in other stories.

Knowing his system's capabilities, Elie felt more prepared to face the challenges and adventures ahead. His life was about to become an exhilarating journey where strength, magic, and family ties would play a pivotal role.
