6 System Update
Luis initially meant to wait if ever Legland and Nicol have any engagements after breakfast.
However, they actively said that they are always available for his convenience.
What if when it comes to 'that thing'?
Hihihi.
The place that they agreed to was the temples' archive.
It is an underground crypt where centuries-old and even millennium-old scriptures are kept. It was made during the time of the magical genius elf lord Gwendolyn.
The best elf lord that ever existed in Luis' opinion.
He made this crypt with a time-sealing formation just underneath. The power that kept this formation going is not a high-purity mana stone but the whole structure of the entire temple!
To be more precise, it was the nature's energy that was absorbed by the moonstone. How big the temple is. The whole structure of it will make it impossible for the energy to run dry.
What a genius.
One must know how impossible it is to make a magical formation work by using energy that is not mana.
It is a pity that such knowledge was not passed on among the common moon elves.
However, he's got their memories through the inheritance so he can just popularize it any time.
"Ahh excuse me! I think I need to go to the toilet," said Luis.
One priest, one sentinel, they both stopped altogether.
The entrance to the archive is located in the most secluded part.
They are still halfway.
Good thing they stopped near a grotto.
Except for the statue of the moon goddess. It has a little pond embellished with beautiful aquatic flowering plants. The bud does not resemble to a lotus but is more like a rose. A bulging rose. The colours of the thick petals are dark blue with a sheen of silver.
"Toilet?" Legland asked in confusion.
Nicol helplessly stare at the sentinel but did not bother to explain.
"Would you like me to accompany you, my Lord?"
'I would love to if we will do something else but I really need to take a dump' Luis whispered at the back of his mind.
We'll actually, he also wants to check the system.
"No, I can manage." Like a breeze, the elf lord darted behind the shrubs in the grotto and did his business.
Moon elves do not have the concept of the toilet. They have pots at best.
Sanitation is a thing that would take some time to promulgate. And he will take care of that one by one.
Luis could attest that taking a dump would really need some skills.
He never thought that he would use his newly acquired technique which is almost like psychokinesis to do such a thing.
He manipulated his energy to pick a few tender leaves that is hanging from somewhere. Made sure not to spill the dew. Then he use that to wipe the shreds of evidence.
He never thought he could make a wet wipe out of a leaf.
After the discomfort was gone. He summoned the system interface.
The status window is now available with an all-new look.
"F*cking sh%t! Where the hell are my abilities?!"
And lots of changes too...
While the system interface is consistent with its translucent blue aesthetics, the contents in it are compressed...in a most obvious way.
The purposely untouched quest window now occupies the majority of the space of the status window.
It now shamelessly flashes the one and only item that says 'Tutorial'.
But the one that gives the heart-shattering change was the one on top of the 'Quest Section'. Where is abilities are listed. His precious jewels.
The original says level five wood system and level five space system.
However now, how come it is divided into different skills?!
Besides that, the wood system has a green dot then underneath it is a series of skills like revitalize, property manipulation, and growth stimulation.
This means that his ability was butchered into different skills.
In a closer retrospection, this clarifies how his ability work.
Back in the apocalypse, awakened humans need to get a 'feeling' about their power.
They needed to waste their time, energy and imagination to use their ability in the most efficient way. True to the concept of cheats, the system made it easier for him with the existence of skills.
However, why does each of the skills are greyed out? And that forsaken lock beside it!
The space system is not that any better. It was greyed out without a lock and without any drop-down button. Luis has no way to see the changes in his space ability. He is not sure or not.
No matter how gloomy Luis felt, his analyzing eyes crept to the top part of his Status Window. He heaved a sigh of relief after seeing that nothing has changed except for the added EXP bar that he has a guess for its purpose and system point which he currently has zero. The NP also known as nature's energy is still infinite. The MP is still pathetic at 100. The HP is still the same, one million.
Luis tried to find the message icon but to no avail. Seems like there is no way to contact the damned administrator.
He is just procrastinating for a few days.
Why so heartless?
Luis gave a dagger eyes at the lone item in the quest. He doesn't have a choice.
He will just live that for now.
"Done!" Luis came back after feeling himself clean, his mood plummeted three feet below the ground. As for the remnants of his excretion, science says that it will decompose anyway so...
"Nicol, Legland, I apologize but can we postpone our talk until later? Probably before dusk. I suddenly felt sleepy." said Luis.
He needs to have a proper face-off with this system before anything else.
He's pretty sure that the contents of the tutorial will affect the state of his moon elf race.
If that is indeed the case then he needs to align his actions depending on the situation.
If the system is pro-Luis then he will act towards the direction of the system but if not, he will make a new path to guarantee his life.
The two seems to be surprised by the request but they conceded nonetheless. For sure, they will deal with their morning affairs that they are pushed for their lord's request.
Honestly, there are times that Luis felt like they are too subservient to him as their lord. He is not complaining since in fact, it is beneficial for him. However, he will still encourage them to have an opinion on their own.
It's not like he can manage an entire race with. just his head working.
History speaks that they've always been like this even before. Even if their elf lord are irrational-bordering to being psychopaths, they also conform to whatever they ask.
Seems like he also need to make ideological education in the future.
Back in his bedroom, Luis dismissed the servants that would be waiting for him and asked them not to disturb him. He reasoned that he wanted to make up for his sleep.
After making sure that he's got his privacy, he reluctantly click on the tutorial quest.
A black box zoomed in and a recorded video played.
To be more precise it was a screen record of the new interface of the system. There was no sound in the beginning then a female voice spoke in a brute-ish tone. "Ah, ah, new moon elf lord you hear me? I am the administrator of the system that you are currently using. This tutorial is all about informing you the main goal of this system. Aside from that, I am also here to explain how this new system interface works since it seems like you would spend your time procrastinating or distracting your self from the system."
First minute and it was this spicy. Luis' face looks like he had drunk a spoiled milk. Though it was infuriating but it's kinda true.
"Seriously, can you stop acting like a spoiled bitch and face your reality? Mr. Elf Lord who hasn't even have a proper name, you may be a few days old elf lord but you are reincarnated. Your soul is mature enough to know not to run away from responsibilities. Please, elf lord.
"Going back to what my secondary- I mean the main purpose of the tutorial. Well the rant it just happened, okay? The main purpose of the tutorial is to inform you, the newly born elf lord, have reincarnated in the world of the novel 'The Legends of the End of World'"
