My Guardian System: The Trader

Jem summoned his status system while moving along the path.

[STATUS SCREEN]

Host: Jem Hansen

Race: Human

Level: 0

Exo Points: 2/10

Ex-Energy: 60/90

Ascendance Points: 9/100

Trade Point/s: 230

Skill/s: Fortification

Sleeping restored his Exo Energy. But since he used his Fortification ability in that fight just now, it is less than 10 points again. Thus, it is down to 60/90.

Jem was surprised to see his total Exo energy raised to 90. It was 70 just recently.

Maybe there was a growth in his Ascendance Points. He hastily threw his gaze to it.

His guess was spot-on!

The Ascendance Point raised to 2 points, bringing the total to 9/100. With this, he surmised that every additional 1 point of Ascendance points increased his total Exo energy to 10 points.

When Jem's eyes landed on his total Trade Points accumulated, a smile took a form on his mouth.

"230 points?!" A surprised utterance from Jem.

Aside from the fang, he had no clue about the price of the other materials he just traded because he was in a hurry and failed to see it.

Each fang cost 10 points, and he traded all, which gave him a total of 20 points.

Since he had 70 Trade Points beforehand, then his total gain from that Furious Black Snake was 160 Trade Points in total.

Truly surprising, Jem thought.

He remembered the newly added option in the Trader's Shop, the Ability market. Jem directly browsed it.

[Learn the Intimidation Ability for 100 Trade Points?]

A prompt came after tapping the displayed ability, asking him to confirm.

Jem confirmed by tapping the <Yes> option.

Out of a sudden, Jem's expression turned blank, and his body glowed. But it only happened for three seconds before he returned to normal.

His mind and body were undergoing modification in that brief moment.

It was a process of learning the ability without the need for training.

Jem was quite surprised. A knowledge that did not exist in his mind a while ago suddenly exists.

It seemed like he knew it all along but forgot only. It was a weird feeling, unlike when he first learned the Fortification ability. When he was trying to comprehend the Fortification ability, it took him a year before he grasped the knowledge of utilizing it.

But this Intimidation ability, he understood it right away.

Jem believed it was one of the benefits brought by this guardian system.

Such a convenient system! He shouted in mind.

With this, he doesn't need to waste a year learning a single ability.

Hehe, Jem chuckled inwardly, feeling excited about the system.

Since he had 130 Trade Points left, he could still use it to upgrade his Exo points. However, before his finger tapped the confirm option for upgrading his Exo points, another notification suddenly popped up.

[Congratulations, the Morf Interface is now available!]

[Congratulations, new items are now available in the Trading Shop!]

"Eh?!" It surprised him. "Morf Interface…?" Jem read out loud the unusual words.

Jem postponed his initial plan of upgrading his Exo points. Then he browsed around his Status System and Trader's Shop to find the Morf Interface. But to no avail. He could not find it.

Jem stopped walking and thought for a second.

"Hm, where is it…?"

But soon, he thought that maybe it was the same as the Status System and Trader's Shop, having a different screen tab.

"Morf Interface," Jem called out the word.

Trrooiinn!

It was weird, the same when the Trader spoke to him. He heard it clearly, but not through ears. A magical sound rang at the back of his mind.

Regardless, along with the magical sound, a shiny green-blue screen floated in mid-air, in front of his face.

In it were a holographic full-body humanoid figure and some words of description. But, Jem slightly widened his eyes. He noticed the humanoid figure has only an arm like him. And also, some teeth were gone, also the same as him.

Perhaps it was him that it represented.

The title says, [Host's Body Configuration]

Yeah, no doubt, it was his current body structure!

Weirdly though, he knew the system didn't mean it, but. He felt mocked by it.

Hah! He sighed as he rubbed the side of his face.

Then, Jem remembered the other notification along with the Morf Interface. Right, new items were available in the shop.

Jem excitedly browsed into it.

There he found a [Prosthesis Parts] option in the list.

Jem squinted at the name.

After he tapped on it, another list of options came after.

[+]Head (1 Available Item)

[+]Torso (0 Available Item)

[+]Limbs (2 Available Items)

First, he chose the Head option.

[-]Head:

•Furious Fangs = 100 Trade Points.

"Wha--!"

Jem gawked.

Along with the item is the equivalent value in Trade Points.

Nonetheless, the item was what surprised him.

"Furious Fangs?" He uttered suspiciously.

It was unusual.

"What is this for?" Jem asked himself.

<Congratulation, Host!>

While he was asking himself in wonder, he suddenly heard the Trader congratulate him.

Jem seemed to realize something after hearing it. Right, he could ask the Trader about it. Jem did not bother replying to the Trader. He went and asked directly about these Furious Fangs.

"Trader, what is this item about?"

<It is exactly as what is there, Host>

"What do you mean?"

<Host also unlocked the Morf Interface, right?>

"Yes!" Jem nodded in agreement.

<These Prosthesis Parts are connected to that, Host. You can get them at an affordable price and equip them in the Body Configuration under the Morf Interface.>

Jem did not pay much attention to the affordable price. He was more concerned with the explanation regarding the Prosthesis Parts.

"E-equip?"

<Yes, Host.>

"....."

It surprised him a lot. His chest started to get noisy. And he felt something like electrifying energy crawling his entire body. If his understanding of Trader's explanation was spot-on, it could be a way to replace his missing parts!

Jem was excited. But he had to calm himself first. There were two parts available in the limbs option.

He had to determine which better to get first.
