Astral Apostle

Chapter 33: New Apostle (2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

[Model Template Addition Limit: 0 / 500]

[Remark: Model template addition limit refers to the maximum number of Astral Points that can be invested to convert into free allocation points.]

[This limit is based on the rarity of the model (Base Limit), as well as the rank of the Astral Projector (Multiplier Bonus). The higher the two, the more Astral Power enhancements an Apostle can accept.]

“So that’s how it is. Different Astral Apostles with different rarity levels can have different levels of enhancement…”

Zhou Jing scratched his head in slight frustration.

It seemed that the rarity of the model also had a “capacity.” It would be “full” once the allocated points were filled up.

This limit only specifically curbed Astral Points to enhance Attributes, Aptitude, Talent, and Skills. It was an upper limit on adding points towards a single model template.

On the other hand, the ability in the “Recording Illustration” to change the characteristics and abilities of the new template was not affected, and there was no upper limit. But, the cost would increase after every inheritance or adjustment.

“Raising the cap for the conversion limit depends on two factors. The rarity of the template depends on luck, but this Astral Projector Rank…”

Zhou Jing’s mind stirred, and the corresponding message popped up on the interface:

[Astral Travel Rank]

[Current: Lv 1]

[To raise the rank, 1,000 Astral Points and 20 Information State Particles are needed.]

[Remark: The Astral Projector Rank will affect the initial strength of the model templates created, the limit of the exchangeable free allocation points, the extent to which abilities can be transferred to the main body, etc…]

“This thing…” Zhou Jing figured out its use after a glance.

If the power of Astral Travel could be regarded as a Super system, then the Astral Projector Rank was equivalent to the “cultivation realm” of this system. It was equivalent to his own development of this ability.

The more in-depth the development, the stronger the ability. Basically, some of the key factors involved in astral travel were related to this Astral Projector Rank—the initial strength of the template, the limit of the template, and more.

For example, his current exchange limit was 500 points. If the Astral Projector Rank was upgraded to Lv 2, the multiplier would be 2. His final conversion limit would be 500×2 = 1,000.

If the Astral Traverse Energy was Lv 3, Lv 4, or even Lv 10, then the multiplier effect on the basic limit would be even greater. There would be more room for improvement, and more astral points could be invested to improve the template.

“It’s a pity that I haven’t even seen a strand of Information State Particles, let alone obtain 20. I can’t level up, so I don’t have to think about it for now.”

Since there was nothing he could do at the moment, Zhou Jing simply noted it down and threw it into the back of his mind.

He did not hesitate and directly spent all the available points.

[500 Astral Points have been converted. You have received 5 Free Allocation Points.]

[Current Free Allocation Points: 10]

Zhou Jing had already thought of what to distribute them to. This time, he added all of them into his attributes.

He had tried adding points to his Attributes and Talents before, but he realized he had to spend a lot of points to increase them by a little. It was probably the same for his skills. None of them would produce immediate effects.

Through his previous experience, Zhou Jing discovered that during the initial phase of adventuring, increasing attributes could increase the security of survival and make it easier for him to continue survival in the world.

Will·Wood had already proven that his 9 Physical Fitness was quite good, but he ultimately died from poison and injuries. It’s probably because his resistance was not high enough, so Zhou Jing decided to match the numbers for the template’s Physical Fitness and Resistance this time.

“The success rate of taking the blood potion seems to be related to both. If I add everything to Physical Fitness, it will bring me close to the level of an Extraordinary, but it’s still lower than Barong’s 18 points. It’s better to increase my resistance and prepare for the use of the blood potion. That’s the goal…”

Zhou Jing thought about it and immediately got to work.

[Free points allocated]

[Physical Fitness 5 → 10, Resistance 4 → 9]

“The last step is to consider loading a support function…”

Zhou Jing paused slightly as he thought hard.

Will·Wood’s death unlocked the Support Function Column along with four basic support functions. Zhou Jing had already thought of several plans to try out today.

He looked at the template’s attributes again before comparing the cost of the various support functions.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Zhou Jing made a decision.

[500 Astral Points have been consumed]

[The [Follower Function] has been applied to the Support Function Column.]

[Current Follower: Unnamed (Apprentice)]

Of the four basic support functions, the cost of installing each was different. Among them, [Character Level System (Level 10 Limit)] was the most expensive. It cost 800 points, and every time the character leveled up, it gave 0 to 2 attribute points at random, which was equivalent to additional growth.

Zhou Jing was originally conflicted about whether he should choose this. After thinking about it, he decided to forgo it because of one reason.

This character upgrading function could not be inherited. Even if the previous Apostle was upgraded to the maximum level of 10, the next apostle would still have to restart from level one. He could not inherit the additional attribute points from the support function.

Although he wanted to clear the realm as soon as possible, after analyzing it, he felt that the second apostle from the astral world should focus on developing itself. After accumulating enough strength, he would attempt to clear the objectives.

Since this was only his second trip, he lacked experience. Therefore, he felt that it was better to be safe than sorry. Besides trying to clear the level, he was more concerned about whether he could leave behind more “inheritance” for the future apostles.

Therefore, it was not worth it to choose a support function that he could not inherit… After all, 800 points were quite expensive for him now.

Furthermore, he had just checked and found out from the map overview, that the designated fee for starting at Frostwood Village was 100 points. This was a necessary sum.

If he spent another 800 points to obtain the [Character Level System (Level 10 Limit)], he would only have 77 points left. This might not even be enough to activate his Accelerated Learning.
