Chapter 91: Adjustments and Boost

91- Adjustments and Boost

After having a proper look at all the stats, first I decided to increase the 'Resistance' stat.

So, I told the system to add 10 'Free Stat Points' every 15 seconds and repeat it till the 'Resistance' stat reaches the limit.

'ding'

'ding'

'ding'

.

.

With every notification, I could feel my internal organs, blood, bones, tissues, muscles, and even cells being nourished, reinforced, and strengthened.

'ding'

'2 (Free stat points) have been added to the (Resistance stat).'

'ding'

'(Resistance stat) has reached the limit.'

'Remaining 8 (Free stat points) have been returned to the host.'

After the 6 th notification, the increment of the 'Resistant' stat stopped and I saw that the 'Resistant' stat was now at 128. Which means that I was only able to increase the 'Resistant' stat by 52 points.

Anyway, getting it to 128 is also a good thing for me.

After this, I took a look at the remaining 'Free stat points' - 448.

After thinking for a few moments, I told the system,

"System, add 80 [Free stat points] to [Strength] and [Agility] stats each, and add 50 [Free stat points] to [Defense], [Sense], [Stamina], and [Intelligence] stats each. And make sure to divide them (Free stat points) into 5 portions and add every portion after 10 second interval."

Although, I could experiment and see how many [Free stat points] can my body handle and what's the limit. But currently, I am not interested in wasting my mental power on that or would like to bear any kind of discomfort, and currently, I am trying to relax, so not interested.

Soon, the first batch of [Free stat points] was added, but I did not pay much attention to it and then closed my eyes.

'ding'

'ding'

.

.

After 15 or 20 minutes, I opened my eyes and got out of the water.

'crack'

'crack'

I stretched my muscles and body.

After getting dressed up, I saw that there was an unread messaged on the system window so I opened the message,

'ding'

'Congratulations, hidden ability related to [Intelligence & MP] has been upgraded because the [Intelligence] stat has reached 250.'

'Now, for every increase of [Intelligence] stat by 1, MP limit will increase by 25.'

"Hmmm...Nice..."

I complimented, as the increase of MP limit is good news for me because there will be situations where my MP will be full but I will not be required to use the MP. Just like now, how I am relaxing and I don't need to use MP.

or

How I was unconscious for 2 months, and in that 2 months my MP got recovered in few hours or at most in half-day and rest of the time was wasted.

It is just like when observed from BPO [Business Process Outsource] company's perspective, where the employee is a customer service representative and that employee is supposed to solve queries or complaints filed by the customers. But suddenly, there was no query or complaint and the employee is just coming to work and spending time, by doing nothing because he has no work. And since being a BPO company, they will try squeezing their employee instead of providing them with some benefits. Here the management will try to assign that employee some other work or try firing him because there is no work and the employee is earning his monthly salary by doing nothing. Because they want their employees to give 150% results for 100% of salary. That's just how BPO's are, and they can also be called a semi- Black company. Anyway, I am not here to discuss about BPO's.

So, what I am trying to say is, when my MP is full and I am not spending it, then that time in which more MP can be recovered is being wasted.

And as much as I hate to act like a BPO company but still, I would say that I would like my MP to recover constantly instead of it [time] being wasted.

Anyway, I must focus on increasing my MP limit such that, while I am in sleep or inactive or not in combat mode, my MP keeps on recovering constantly.

Since there were no other messages, I opened the Status window again,

After having a look at my new stats. I hesitated and thought if I should also increase the Charm stat. Because I felt that it might also pack some surprises or hidden abilities after it reaches certain number. But after seeing that I only had 88 [Free Stat points] left, I decided to put away this thought and proceed only after I have more [Free Stat points].

I exited the bath area and walked back to the room.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw a little girl sitting on a chair, and maybe she sensed my arrival, that girl looked in my direction.

It was none other than Armelia.

"Orochi!!"

Exclaimed Armelia, but I did not fail to notice her expression changing from happiness to shyness then to awkwardness.

"Hey, Armelia."

Anyway, I replied to her with a smile.

Hearing my answer, Armelia's expression turned normal.

"Where were you? I was waiting for you."

"Yeah, I wanted to take bath hence, I went and relaxed in the tub."

"Oh..."

Hearing my reply, Armelia nodded and spoke,

"Actually, after I heard that you fainted once again, I wanted to meet you as soon as possible but my mother told me not to worry and it was just a part of the process for curing the poison in your body."

To this I replied,

"Yeah, your aunt helped me and I fainted because of it. But soon I woke up, rest assured I feel completely fine."

Then we exchanged few more sentences.

While we were talking, I asked Armelia,

"Armelia, can you tell me about the dark forest, Lamia tribe, and your aunt Bertha? Actually, can you tell me about everything?"

Armelia nodded her head and then she first started talking about the dark forest.
