Thumbs Up, Level Up

Chapter 286

[Cheok-Liang — Fourth Transformation]

[Class: Eternity

Type: Divine Spirit

With the help of the God [GodTube_superstar], the spirit has evolved into his Fourth Transformation.

In addition to detection abilities and advising on skills, he is able to actively intervene in combat to help his owner. He is materialized using the owner’s mana and has the same fighting power as transcendent-level beasts.]

Skills

[Materialization: Changes in appearance from a spirit form into a material form. He consumes a small amount of the owner’s mana while he is materialized.]

[Unity: He can use the owner’s skills. Only the skills that work with a fennec body can be used, and they consume the owner’s mana.]

[Detection: He can detect special objects, items, dungeon entrances, etc., within a certain radius.]

[Calculation: He possesses transcendent calculation abilities.]

[Management: When in a managerial position, his management efficiency is increased by 200%.]

[Aide: When assisting his master, the master’s ability increases by 10%.]

[Hacking: He always succeeds in electronic warfare.

[Spirit of Electronic: He is a member of the electronic world.]

[Multi-Operation: He can perform multiple operations simultaneously.]

‘Holy shit… This is amazing!’

New skills, including Calculation, Management, and Aide, had been added. Cheok-Liang had always helped him by sharing some of his skills, but now he was even more unique and powerful. He could use more skills, and they were more reliable. Not only that, but the Management skill was pretty amazing.

‘You can increase my production rate! This is amazing!’

?Thank you, Master, for your grace! I cannot believe it!?

Cheok-Liang was overjoyed to see his own transformation.

“It’s all thanks to you, Cheok-Liang. You’ve changed so much.”

‘He now has nine tails! I guess he is now the infamous nine-tailed fox from mythology.’

?Yes, Master. I think I will be able to serve you better now. I can now exist as a person of this world.?

Flash!

Cheok-Liang’s body started to transform. He became a flawlessly handsome man, and his intelligent face showed just a little splash of cynicism.

He was dressed in a pure white suit. When he saw Ji-Cheok looking at him, he bowed and expressed his gratitude once more.

“Master. I am now here to serve you.”

“Well… I know you could’ve materialized before… What’s the difference?”

Materializing as a person had always been within the realm of his abilities, but Cheok-Liang just did not do it because it was useless.

“I hacked into the computer network and registered myself as an inhabitant of this world. So I should not have any problems running your company, administratively or legally.”

‘I see.’

“Plus, I can expand on what I have been doing. Just being able to coordinate schedules, notify people, etc. on your behalf will save you a lot of time. You do not need to check and respond to things because I can do it for you as your assistant.”

‘Has he really become an all-around advisor…? Well, I did need an assistant, so this is good news.’

“That is not all, Master. I can also take care of things like lobbying and dealing with politicians from now on. I can also use the power of Ji-Han, Gyeong Yeong, Jungjin, and even the Jungha Group.

“It does seem convenient,” Ji-Cheok said.

“It is all thanks to you, Master.”

“Nah…. You helped me a lot. I could not have gotten this far on my own.”

Cheok-Liang’s advice and help in battle both had contributed greatly to Ji-Cheok’s success.

“I cannot thank you enough… Then, may I ask for a favor now?” Cheok-Liang said.

“You may say anything you wish.”

“Please perform a sacrificial ritual and upgrade your System, Master.”

‘Oh yes. The System!’

Ji-Cheok’s System level was now 2. That alone had caused a number of big changes, including the opening of the GodTube channel for the Gods.

He knew that the reason he was at level 2 was because he had become a God.

“Does this mean that making an offering will raise my level?” Ji-Cheok asked.

“Yes, Master. But offering items will be meaningless.”

“Meaningless? What do you mean?”

“The System will only accept offerings of Likes.”

“That… makes perfect sense.”

“The System wanted Likes.

“I want to level up my System with my Likes!”

Ji-Cheok shouted into thin air, and a message popped up.

[Do you wish to upgrade your System?]

[It will cost 5,000,000,000 Likes.]

[Y / N]

‘It takes five billion Likes to go from level 2 to 3???’

It was clear that upgrading his System like this would have been impossible back in the day. Thankfully, he could do it now

‘It’s a good thing that I have over 6.5 billion Likes now. Let’s press yes.’

[Your System has been upgraded.]

[You have reached level 3.]

[[God Emporium] is now open. You can now purchase the most secret weapons and powers of the Gods.]

[[Direct Trade with God] is now open. Through the System’s notarization, you can now trade directly with the Gods.]

[[Interdimensional Trading] is now open. You can now trade with beings from other dimensions that are connected to the System.]

[You have acquired the skill [Increase Likes Efficiency], which increases your efficiency when spending your Like Points.]

[Increased Likes Efficiency]

[Class: Eternity (Non-Upgradable)

Increases damage by 50% when the Revered One uses his Like Points.

Reduces the cost of Likes by 50% when the Revered One uses his Like Points]

‘This is… incredible. And the System is also giving me a skill that saves me Likes? How powerful is the System?!’

The other two skills were also overpowered. For example, when he took a peek at the God Emporium, he realized that it was basically the vault holding the core powers of the Gods.

He checked out one of the skills of [Wealthy_lord_of_death], and it was amazing.

[Right to Death — 1,000,000,000 (500,000,000) Likes]

[Class: Eternity

The user may resurrect the dead without restriction and the target's body will be restored to its former state. However, the soul of the dead must be intact. The user cannot resurrect someone with more than 51% damage to their soul.]

‘A power like this can change the course of history… This is incredible.’

Additionally, he could get this power for fifty percent off, all thanks to his Increased Likes Efficiency skill!

‘This is too crazy… Right, Cheok-Liang?’

?I knew upgrading your System level would be useful, Master.?

Changing back to his fennec form, Cheok-Liang crawled up Ji-Cheok’s neck.

“Do you think I can level up one more time?”

?We might as well try.?

“You’re right. I want to upgrade my System again!”

[Do you wish to upgrade your System?]

[It will cost 50,000,000,000 Likes.]

[Y / N]

“Wow… It has gone from five billion Likes to fifty billion Likes… That’s too much!”

?It gets really hard from here… Even completing the dimensional barrier only cost ten billion Likes…?

“If upgrading my System level is harder than saving the world, there’s got to be a reason.”

?I can understand why. Because now you are a God, even if the world were to end, you would still be up against other Gods, which means that now, your enemies are the other Gods.?

“So you are saying I am like a frog on the bottom of the well… I’m a God that is confined to Earth.”

?That sounds like a good analogy.?

Ji-Cheok had always been taught that the universe was awfully big and wide. But what if other dimensions were added to it?

A whole other dimension.

Another universe and countless worlds.

There would be countless Gods living there.

‘Ah, the enormity of it all… Now that I am a God, I can feel it in my bones. Now I understand why Earth is doomed.’

When the dimensional barrier that protected Earth was lifted, everything and everyone from so many different dimensions would pour into the world. It was just a matter of time before the end of humanity. Something more powerful than humanity, in greater numbers than humanity, was coming. It would be weird for humanity to survive that.

It was kind of like how humans themselves had wiped out tons of species.

“Anyway, I have got about 1.5 billion Likes left, I might as well get this resurrection skill, right?”

?Having extra lives is always important. Since you are not a God, the concept of death doesn’t really apply to you anymore, but we cannot say the same about your team members.?

“You’re right. Purchase Right to Death.”

He purchased the skill, and its power seeped into him. He now had a piece of the realm of death.

“Now I have one billion Likes left. I would like to use this to prepare for the next battle right away, but I have no idea what kind of battle it’s going to be. At the rate the dimensional barrier is being built, the Tutorial will never end.”

‘I guess there is going to be a final attack from my enemies.’

?We will have to talk to Ji-Han about that. He might know something. Alternatively, we can contact the American Prophetess.?

“But I can’t reach Ji-Han.”

?You are right. He is still unreachable. I cannot contact Reable, either.?

‘Hm…’

“Well, Reable is still connected to my contract, so he must be doing something if he is not answering…”

?What are you going to do??

“Let’s go to the United States first. Maybe I can use my American connections.”

‘Maybe Adam Bronze can help me.’

?Before you do that, why don’t you buy this skill for one billion Likes? It will be very helpful in case of emergency?

Cheok-Liang showed him a skill that he could buy for one billion Likes.

It was a very special skill.

? ? ?

Before he went to the United States, Ji-Cheok met up with his teammates for the first time in a long time, and they decided to have their own little party to celebrate their victory over Mount Kunlun.

They decided to have a party at the orphanage on Seong Kwang’s ranch. Why not have a party and let the kids of the orphanage have fun?

He did not know whose idea it was, but he thought it was a good one.

Cheok-Liang went to Director Jung Gyeong-Yeong in his human form. Ji-Cheok wanted him to take his place in public affairs.

“I can feel it in my skin that you are a God,” Mu-Cheok said.

“Why? You didn’t before?”

“Nope. I didn’t.”

He sat down next to Ji-Cheok, sipped his juice, and shook his head.

“That is because I was not strong enough. But now that I’ve become so much more powerful, I can feel it. You know what they say, you see what you know. I can feel how strong you are, hyung.”

“How does it feel?”

“It’s like… the laws of the world are being distorted? A different level of soul? That kind of feeling. It’s hard to explain in words, but I just feel tremendous pressure from you.”

‘Hm… Pressure…’

?It is because you are coming into your own as a God. A God can twist the laws of the world just by existing.?

‘I see… But my God name is [GodTube_superstar], so the bending of the laws must be an effect of my intrinsic power. I have no idea what’s going on.’
