Chapter 12 (2/2)
Zhou Bai continued lying on the other bed. Because he exhausted himself too much today, he drifted into sleep.
The next day, Zhou Bai woke up very early because he was very excited. All he thought about was how much Laziness would have increased overnight.
But after taking a look at the board, he looked very disappointed.
Degree of Taoification: 0%
Primordial Spirit Value: 10
Divine Map: Deva Nine Disasters
Laziness: 200
“Why is Laziness only at 200? I lay for an entire night!” Zhou Bai said angrily, “Did I lie around for nothing?”
Christina’s voice sneered in Zhou Bai’s head, “You can get stronger just from sleeping, what are you unhappy about?”
Zhou Bai asked her, “What’s going on? Why is your auxiliary system giving me less than I deserve?”
“How would I know?” Christina muttered, “But after some thought, it probably has a limit. This might be the maximum amount of Laziness you can gain from lying around each day.”
In his later attempts, Zhou Bai slowly realized that there was a limit to different methods of gaining Laziness each day.
The amount that you could gain just by lying around was 200 points.
Zhou Bai didn’t fuss over this, for now. He was impatient to gain more points.
“I’ll add them to primordial spirit power. Professor Zhuang’s primordial spirit power is distinctly stronger than mine. Ten points of Primordial Spirit Value is still too little.”
With this thought, Zhou Bai concentrated on the plus sign behind Primordial Spirit Value.
Instantly, Primordial Spirit Value changed from 10 points to 11 points, while Laziness decreased by 10 points.
Zhou Bai complained, “Sh*t, increasing Primordial Spirit Value above 10 points use ten times its value in Laziness?”
Christina: “What do you know? You can’t just get primordial spirit power randomly. Normal people have to train very hard to even raise it by one point, how many of them have it as easy as you? And the higher it gets, the harder it becomes to increase it further. It’s not like no matter it only takes one Laziness point to increase your Primordial Spirit Value no matter how high it is.”
Zhou Bai came to realization too. Just like when normal people do bench presses, when you go from 30 kilograms to 50 kilograms, compared to going from 100 kilograms to 120 kilograms, although they both increase by 20 kilograms, the time and energy they use is different.
Zhou Bai continued increasing his Primordial Spirit Value. He increased Primordial Spirit Value all the way to 20 points, and his Laziness decreased by 100 points.
After abruptly raising 10 points of Primordial Spirit Value, Zhou Bai felt slightly dizzy.
Christina said, “Watch out, don’t add too much Primordial Spirit Value at a time. Increase it little by little, and take a break in between to get used to it. Last time, when you added 10 points at a time, you made yourself pass out.”
“I got picked up by Professor Zhuang after passing out? Then why did you get caught by him too?”
Christina: “It’s because I couldn’t contact you, so I wanted to go look for you, and got caught by him! Ugh, he thought I was a cat, and he wanted to perform experiments on me. How foolish!”
“…” Zhou Bai nodded, “I increased Primordial Spirit Value to 20. Should I try increasing Degree of Taoification?”
“No!” Christina screamed, saying hastily, “Don’t increase Degree of Taoification carelessly! This is different from Primordial Spirit Value. The auxiliary system increases your strength when you increase Primordial Spirit Value. It’s all pure and harmless.”
“But Degree of Taoification is realm. It’s your synchronization with the Heavenly Tao. After you increase it, it’ll connect you to the Heavenly Tao. If you carelessly increase it without preparations and are unable to adapt to it, you’ll go mad.”
“Mad?” Zhou Bai’s eyes glowed, seeming to remember something.
