Chapter 191 - A Foolproof Plan (2/2)
”Why worry about those things, Argentum?” Aurus replied to Argentum's question before adding, ”And I thought you were the one who was more optimistic than me.”
”If you're going to become a Super Animate, you should become the strongest Super Animate possible,” Aurus continued talking before saying, ”You're armed with the knowledge of ISE from the Inanimate existence level to the Divinity existence level. You know a lot of inheritances, dungeons, and certain places where you could amass tons of experience and skills that would boost your power even further. In front of all of that, a Power Baptism is merely a speck of sand!”
Listening to Aurus's words, Argentum let out a sigh, the aura radiating from him being that of slight disappointment, which was directed towards himself. After a few seconds, this aura soon changed to that of slight elation as he said, ”You know what? You're right. I have access to all of those memories, so I'll utilize them to the fullest!”
”That's the clone I know!” Aurus replied with a chuckle before pondering over something. At the instant he had pondered over this, the aura radiating from Aurus had abruptly changed to that of slight worry. Noticing this, Argentum asked, ”What's wrong?”
”I just remembered that I was planning to introduce you to Herellia and Horell,” Aurus answered Argentum's query with a tone of slight disappointment. He then added, ”With your current stats, I don't know how I could tell them how you did all of those things.”
”I see…” Argentum said after listening to Aurus, pondering over the possible ways he could help his original body out. Fortunately, it did not take long for Argentum to come up with a solution, telling Aurus, ”I think I have an idea of what you can do.”
”Hmm?” Hearing Argentum's words, Aurus's interest was piqued, prompting him to ask Argentum, ”What do you have in mind?”
”I don't know if the system allows this but…can't you like transfer your unused experience points to me?” Argentum suggested.
Aurus then replied, ”How would that help me with this proble—oh.”
Realizing what Argentum was trying to convey, Aurus acceded to Argentum's request, commanding the system not long after, ”System, transfer all of my unused experience points to Argentum.”
Ding!
'508,732,464 experience points have been transferred to the user's second body, Argentum.'
'Due to the difference in existence level, the number of experience points have been divided by 1,000 as a Pseudo-Animate is a thousand times stronger than an Inanimate.'
'508,732 experience points have been successfully transferred to the user's second body, Argentum.'
”Well then.” Receiving a notification from the system that the experience points were successfully transferred to him, albeit at a lower value, Argentum could not help but say this as he expected the experience points to be transferred in full. He then looked at Aurus and said, ”It seems that there's a conversion rate, just like our stats.”
”Indeed,” Aurus replied as he pondered over what things would be affected by the conversion rate. ”Stats are surely affected by the conversion rate, and by the looks of it, experience points are affected by the conversion rate as well.”
”Would Genesis and OS Points be affected by this as well?” Aurus wondered, eventually concluding that it might not be the case.
”Speaking of Genesis and OS Points…” With this in mind, Aurus looked at Argentum and asked, ”Do you have access to the Soul Enchantment and Genesis Tree System?”
”Let me see…” Hearing this, Argentum went ahead and commanded the system in his mind to open up these features, only to get a reply that only the original body has access to it. He also tested if he had access to the Ally and Friend List system, letting out a sigh of relief that he had access to it.
”Soul Enchantment and Genesis Tree seems to be exclusive systems just for you, original body,” Argentum replied before adding, ”I do have access to the Ally and Friend List system though.”
”Good to know,” Aurus replied to Argentum's findings before adding, ”Anyways, are you going to use the experience points now?”
”Yeah,” Argentum replied to Aurus's words with affirmation, softly commanding the system, ”System, use all of the unused experience points to max out my level.”
Ding!
It did not take long for the system to act upon Argentum's request as a great mass of Wind energy particles started to appear around Argentum's surroundings, hastily congregating to where he was as the aura he radiated gradually grew stronger and stronger. Alongside this was the feminine-sounding voice of the system resounding in his mind, saying, ”4,500 unused experience points have been consumed.”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Not long after, a small tornado surrounded Argentum, as if all of the Wind energy particles were funneling their way towards his body. Eventually, after about half a minute or so, this tornado had disappeared, revealing Argentum with an aura that was multiple times stronger than his previous aura.
”Congratulations! You have leveled up to Level 10.” After the tornado had disappeared, the system's voice resounding throughout his mind once again. It then asked him, ”You have reached the maximum level and have met all of the necessary requirements needed to evolve to a higher grade. Would you like to evolve?”
Argentum pondered over this question for a bit before ultimately replying in his mind with, ”Postpone the evolution for now.”
”As you wish, User.” After the system had said this, the system's voice had disappeared in his mind, prompting him to look at Aurus, who was looking at him with an aura of happiness.
”Your strength has increased considerably,” Aurus said.
”But…” Not long after, the aura around Aurus had changed into that of slight disappointment as he radiated his aura to the fullest extent, letting Argentum know the difference between his current strength and the original body's strength.
”It is still not enough.”
”Baby steps, Aurus. Baby steps.” In response to Aurus's words, Argentum let out a chuckle as he replied. He then added, ”This is just the first step of my idea. I'm just about to move onto the second step.”
”Hoh?” Aurus's interest was piqued yet again by his clone, prompting him to ask Argentum, ”What's the second step?”
”Hehehe.” Argentum lightly laughed as a certain thought crossed his mind. ”It's very simple but very effective.”
”Don't keep me in suspense, Argentum,” Aurus said before adding, ”Just tell me.”
”Alright then,” Argentum replied, taking in a deep breath of air as two small holes appeared on where his nose was supposed to be.
”The second step of this idea is to…”
”To…?”
”Not introduce me to Herellia and Horell for now.”
”…”
”What do you think?”
”…”
”Well?”
”Well…that does make sense.”
