All Novel Full Chapter 68 - Stupid
{The host is being transported to Floor 2 at the host's previous position} announced the system as he felt his soul being sucked out of his body.
As Adam landed on Floor 2 he sat on the ground cross-legged and prepared to rest.
His body was in peak condition as he was now in his Dungeon Form, but he was still mentally fatigued after his run yesterday.
He had decided to relax in the dungeon where time was two times slower than reality and he would have more time.
Adam had found that while he used the Ethereal Recovery Skill, where he felt as though he had left his body and time would pass rapidly, he could still talk to the system.
[System show me my status] ordered Adam while he used the Ethereal Recovery Skill.
{Ding, the host's current status is:
Mortal LVL: 11
EXP: 255 / 1500
HP: 220 / 220
MP: 27 / 27
Strength: 23
Speed: 23
Intelligence: 26
Resistance: 23
Charisma: 5
Luck: 5}
Looking at his status it was exactly as it was before, but he was pleasantly surprised by the increase in EXP.
[System why did my EXP increase] asked Adam who remembered his EXP was only at 5 points.
Adam thought that the only way that he could strengthen himself was by hunting in the dungeon.
{That is because the host trained his body in reality and the progress is shown as EXP. Hunting in the dungeon isn't the only way for the host to gain strength, although it is easier and only requires the host to kill beasts} answered the system.
It was such an obvious answer that Adam had thought of, but wanted the system's answer as confirmation.
[Yes, now I can train both in the dungeon and in reality with my master and will rapidly strengthen myself] exclaimed Adam to himself joyously.
{Shut up stupid} remarked the system.
[System can you explain to me the MP stat again. As when I was training in reality I wasn't sure how much of my Internal Energy and External Energy I used up] requested Adam respectfully, ignoring the tone and arrogance of the system, knowing that he needed the system.
{Well, I knew you were stupid, but I didn't know you were this stupid. Can't you tell the amount of Internal and External Energy you have} scolded the system.
Adam stayed silent and awaited the system's explanation, knowing that there was no point trying to argue with the system at his current stage.
{As the host is stupid, the system will explain and make it simpler for the host. The MP stat is an amalgamation of all the host's stats and represented all Internal and External Energies within the host's body as a single stat} explained the system.
{But as you don't seem to understand it because of your lack of common sense, the system will make the stats even more simple and obvious. Instead of MP, the stat will now be split into External and Internal Energy Storages, if the host wishes to do so} offered the system.
{If the host follows through with this each stat point that the host uses will only be a single EESP or IESP, which is less than it was previously when the host would strengthen both the EESP and IESP together as MP. But if the host does follow through the host will have separate Internal Energy Storage Points and External Energy Storage Points which will strengthen the host's storage densities after separating them and overall have double the amount of energy. Because as the host has realised, the host's energy limits are quite low because of the storages being fused as one} warned the system.
It was a decision that was quite easy for him and Adam knew that it was only possible because of his unique and special constitution that could be changed by the system.
[I want to follow through with it] decided Adam.
{Ding, the host's MP stat is now being split into the EESP and IESP stat} announced the system as Adam felt something within his lower body split into two parts.
One part spread around his body externally reaching his bones and muscles, while the other part spread around him internally and formed an internal energy storage within his lower abdomen.
{Ding, now the host's current status is:
Mortal LVL: 11
EXP: 255 / 1500
HP: 220 / 220
EESP: 27 / 27
IESP: 27 / 27
Strength: 23
Speed: 23
Intelligence: 26
Resistance: 23
Charisma: 5
Luck: 5} informed him the system.
Adam as observing his body closely and following the sensation that he was feeling understood what had occurred.
His high intelligence enhanced his sensitivity to energy and his sensory ability and understanding.
With that, he was able to see that his Internal and External Cultivation were now split and weren't both being strengthened together in the centre of his body, which had strengthened him slightly and increased the capacity of energy that his energy now had.
[So the EESP stat represents my physical stamina and my External Energy Storages and the IESP stat represents my capacity to use energy, such as through skills, and my Internal Energy Storages] observed Adam.
He was satisfied with his decision and had distinguished between his Internal and External Energy storages while also increasing their capacity by separating them.
After using the Ethereal Recovery Skill for an hour, there was no effect on his body that was at its peak state, but he had soothed and calmed his mind.
"Time to test out the extent of my new split energy storages" mumbled Adam to himself as he stood up.
Adam didn't have time to waste and with his identity being revealed to a few people already, he knew it was only a matter of time before his identity became public in the underground world of cultivation.
In the time he had before then, Adam wanted to gain as much strength and wealth as possible and also gather power through the Silver Moon Auction House.
The stronger he helped the Silver Moon Auction House to become, the more powerful the backing and support he would have.
All of his targets were clear.
All that was left was for him to work hard.
