Chapter 603 Eating A Crystal



Chapter 603 Eating A Crystal

Everything that Gary was doing right now was based on a theory of his own. Altereds gave him more stat points compared to the beasts that he killed and ate. The beasts had the crystals removed from their bodies, and the flesh only had a hint of power in them when consumed.

Whereas Altereds were created using the crystals that came from beasts. Which was what led Gary to his sudden and rash decision to bite into the crystal. Ideally he would have attempted to eat the body with the crystal in it, but that would have been a strange action to take, not that biting into the crystal wasn't.

In Gary's head, since he ate things to gain power, he thought it was the next best thing. His hard jaw was able to crush the crystal and as the pieces went down his throat and into his stomach he could feel a bubble of energy building up.

He was too far in at this point so all he could do was continue eating the crystal until it was completely gone.

"WHAT IS HE DOING!" James shouted and banged his fists against the glass. "He just ate a precious crystal, and from a highly powerful beast. That crystal could have sold for millions and he's having it as a snack."

There were more shocks heading James' way, as he started to remember about the tests that were first conducted with the crystal. What benefit would eating a crystal have on a person? If they were a regular person, consuming raw energy in that form would be enough to kill a person.

At least that's what had happened in their tests. As for an Altered, if they did such a thing there was one of three outcomes. There were some Altereds, depending on the type, that could use the energy and would get a boost in power, although it was temporary so it was deemed unhelpful, as there were better uses for the crystal.

Then, there were those that would suffer the same fate as a human, the energy of the crystal was just too much for the Altered form to handle, this usually happened if the Altered was made using a weaker crystal than the one consumed.

Lastly there would be those that consumed a crystal yet nothing would happen to them at all. Their bodies were unable to absorb the energy released by the crystal gaining no temporary boost nor would there be any negative side effects.

To put it simply, the benefits for eating a crystal were next to none.

'I thought he was some type of researcher, maybe working for another corporation under disguise. I thought that's why he was asking for the beast's body, and for the crystal… but this person is just a fool!'

For Gary though, having finished consuming the crystal he didn't feel like a fool, as his system screen had responded as he had hoped.

First, there was a message for completing the quest and having managed to defeat the beast.

[You have levelled up]

[You are now level 28]

Due to it being the first time he had killed such a beast there were quite a few exp bonuses that allowed him to level up, and gain a free stat point, but there was also the quest reward on top of that.

[Skill upgrade!]

[You are free to permanently increase one skill to the next level!]

'This is good.' Gary thought. 'The Dark Warrior class allows all my skills to go to the next stage as long as it's night time, but during the day the skills rest back to what they were before. Upgrading one of the skills will make me stronger during the day, and if the Dark Warrior class still takes effect, then it will mean that the skill might go to an even higher level.'

Gary was pleased but it wasn't the right time to pick which skill to upgrade, but before the NIRV employees came out and gave him hell, he did want to check just what stat points he had gained from eating the crystal.

[Strength: 62 >>>> 65]

[Dexterity: 47 >>>> 50]

[Endurance: 49 >>>>54]

'The stat increase is a lot larger eating the crystal and my points have improved quite a bit, but that was most likely because of the beast itself.'

Gary imagined that not always eating a crystal, Altered, or beast would give him points. After all, there were differences in the strength of beasts. It seemed like at some point the weaker beasts or even Altered, if he were to eat them, wouldn't give him any stat points at all.

'The stronger I get, the harder it's going to be to grow, but is there even a cap on this thing? After fighting Midwak, it feels like a werewolf's growth is almost endless, after all, Midwak said there were those that were above him.'

While thinking about all of this, the door was heard opening up into the room, as usual there would be those from NIRV in their special suits with their special equipment, although Gary did wonder what they would try to get from the beast this time, now that its crystal was no longer inside its body.

That's when he noticed that there was someone else among the NIRV staff as well, a NIRV researcher, it was James.

"What do you think you are doing!" James shouted as he came out. "Do you have a death wish or something. You ate a high tier crystal! One that had yet to hit the market. I'm going to rip that crystal straight out of your body!"

Gary had somewhat expected this reaction and the reason why he acted so rash was because he was already leaving the Academy soon and it was his last lesson anyway. On top of that, although NIRV was big, James himself was unable to do anything.

"Stop it!" A voice shouted as it descended in between the two and it was the teacher Crowley. "You have already done enough, and you stated that he was allowed the crystal, he can do with it as he wishes."

"Yes, a crystal but not that crystal! Now get out my way. I will take him back to NIRV myself and we can see what they have to say!" James said as he went to push past Crowley, but he grabbed James shoulder and pulled him back.

"You will do no such thing, I have had enough!" Raising his fist again, he threw it out hitting James in the face sending him flying across the room once more.
