11 Chapter 11: Feeling More at Ease!
"2 points in Physical and 1 point in Mental?"
Lu Yu roughly understood why he didn't die after being stabbed. As for the 1 point in Mental, was it a reward for forcibly kissing her?
"Come on, you darn system! You even praised me as a true gentleman, and you can't give me more points?"
[Point rewards are distributed based on audience ratings, so please note, Host, that the system's evaluation is just for fun. If you want rewards, you'll have to please the audience!]
"Che..."
"Pay off the loan."
[The system has detected faint Honkai energy information. According to calculations, a small group of Honkai beasts and Deadwalkers will attack Longsky City soon. After attribute testing, the probability of the Host surviving this turmoil is approximately 1.14115%. The system recommends the Host to use points to exchange for some combat abilities.]
"What?! Honkai beasts and Deadwalkers are coming? How much time do I have?"
[Specific time is unknown.]
"Then what's the use of these abilities? Just give me some money so I can run!"
System: [??????]
Lu Yu: "??????"
[The system retracts the previous evaluation and now changes the Host from a true gentleman to a timid coward.]
What kind of rubbish system is this? And it's even looking down on the Host?
No, he's just a guy who transmigrated and wanted to play some simulators to earn some pocket money. He's not a Valkyrie; running away when encountering Honkai beasts is the right choice!
Lu Yu hasn't had enough of life yet. He was hoping to mess around in the simulator a few more times and get close to the girls in there. As for protecting humanity, he can leave that to Bishop Otto.
Could there really be people who think they're the protagonist and want to save the world just like that? Can't be, right?
"Enough with the nonsense, quickly exchange 20 points for cash. I want to run away!"
...
[Detected a large amount of Honkai energy. It is expected that a large number of Honkai beasts and Deadwalkers will attack Longsky City in three hours!]
"What?! You didn't deliberately arrange this, did you? It's too coincidental!"
[Please do not defame the system. There's not much time left. The system advises the Host to immediately exchange for abilities to deal with the upcoming disaster.]
"Fine, fine, fine, let me see what I can exchange for."
[Void Sword Intent (6 stars) - Skill: Immortal Ascension, invincible in the world! Price: 100,000 points]
[Void Grasp (6 stars) - Skill: I will reverse the world! Must be used in conjunction with Void Sword Intent. Price: 50,000 points]
[Unforgivable Sin (6 stars) - Skill: Repent before extinction! Price: 50,000 points]
[Flawless Sky (6 stars) - Skill: Pure and beautiful, like Ai Li Xi Ya! Price: 888,888 points] (TL/N: Yeah, i don't know who Ai Li Xi Ya is either.)
"Are these things meant for a poor person like me??? And what's up with the price of that Flawless Sky skill, damn, it's outrageous!"
[Flawless Sky is a special skill. Before triggering a simulated special plot, the Host can only purchase it at that price.]
Forget it, now's not the time to complain about the system. Let's see what cheaper options there are. These 6-star abilities are way out of reach, and even 5-star ones are probably beyond my means. Let's just look at the 4-star ones.
[Zero Void Flash (4 stars) - Skill: Cherry blossoms, scatter. Price: 500 points]
[Six Paths Outer Law (4 stars) - Skill: Roar, Thunderball. Price: 500 points]
[Polaris One-Strike Style (4 stars) - Technique: A widely popular swordsmanship style from the late Edo period, founded by Chiba Shusaku Narimasa. Tremendously powerful, suitable for one-on-one duels. Price: 1,000 points]
[Arctic Dance (4 stars) - Skill: Disappear! Price: 500 points]
Alright, no need to look at the 4-star ones, they're also beyond my budget.
"System, just filter the 1-2 star abilities. Look at these prices; even a 3-star ability would bankrupt me."
[Filtering in progress... A total of 1,347 1-2 star abilities have been filtered. Host can choose and purchase them.]
[Gun Playfulness Technique (1 star) - Technique: A greatly weakened version of the Kaslana family's gunplay technique. The way you move might actually make Honkai beasts laugh? Price: 30 points]
[Pinecone Dalliance with Thunder Whip (1 star) - Skill: A master's unique skill, except it has little practical use, but it's good for everything else! Price: 15 points]
[Can't Beat, Can't Run (1 star) - Skill: Dream in the sky, a greatly weakened version of the Phantom Beast's signature move. If your opponent knows you learned this, they will probably mock you. Feed them canned food. How can you not even beat them?! Price: 15 points]
[Nebula Torrent (2 stars) - Skill: The basic move of the Kaslana family's gunplay technique, its effectiveness is reduced by 20% before learning the gunplay technique. Price: 35 points]
Looking at the various techniques and skills, Lu Yu pondered for a long time.
The prices of items sold by the system were calculated based on their star ratings. For each star level, the prices differed depending on the type. Generally, techniques cost half the price of comparable skills.
6-star techniques cost 100,000 points, while their corresponding skills cost 50,000 points.
5-star techniques cost 10,000 points, while their corresponding skills cost 5,000 points.
4-star techniques cost 1,000 points, while their corresponding skills cost 500 points.
3-star techniques cost 500 points, while their corresponding skills cost 250 points.
2-star techniques cost 70 points, while their corresponding skills cost 35 points.
1-star techniques cost 30 points, while their corresponding skills cost 15 points.
What kind of skill should he choose? Honkai beasts, Deadwalkers...
Got it! What he needs is this one!
Twenty minutes later, Lu Yu selected the abilities he needed.
"That's all! I'll pay all at once!"
[Host, please confirm whether to purchase the following abilities.]
"Confirmed!"
[Host, please confirm again whether to purchase the following abilities.]
"Confirmed!"
[Host, please confirm for the final time whether to purchase the following abilities.]
"What? I said confirm! Don't think I don't know you want me to buy combat abilities, but I won't fight! Give up, you dog of a system!"
System: [...]
[Concealment of Qi (1 star) - Skill: You can't see me, you can't see me! Price: 15 points]
[Dark Descendant's Dash (1 star) - Skill: Weakened version of Dark Descendant's Swift Dash. It can slightly increase your movement speed for a short period. Price: 15 points]
