Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Breakthrough, Space Upgrade (2/2)
…
“They are here, so it’s even more difficult to leave now. As soon as I leave, the existence of the System Space will certainly be exposed.”
Lin Jing, who had been observing, couldn’t help but smile wryly:
“This really is the worst of luck, to be caught like a rat in a trap.”
Lin Jing hurriedly exited Observation Mode and asked the system.
“System, is there any way to appear in a different location when I go out?”
“Master, you can use Fixed Point Teleportation. Fixed Point Teleportation can transport you to the outside world, and the range of teleportation is the same size as the Spirit Field within the System Space.”
“Your current System Space is level 1, with a Spirit Field range of 10 acres, and the teleportation range is also 10 acres. The cost for teleportation is 1 Harvest Point.”
“There’s a fee?” Lin Jing was too tired to even ridicule the situation; his Harvest Points were still at zero.
Before Lin Jing had a chance to ask further, another prompt from the system appeared.
“The system has detected that the host’s current Harvest Points are 0, and suggests that the host should first break through to the second level of Qi Refinement.” (Note: Breaking through within the System Space will grant the host Harvest Points.)
“It’s really forcing me to break through.”
Looking at the remaining time, there was just over an hour left.
Lin Jing didn’t dare to delay, and he relaxed his body and mind, adjusting his state, and started preparing to break through.
He didn’t know how much time had passed, but Lin Jing could feel that his breath had reached its peak, yet it seemed as though something was impeding him from going further.
He focused his mind, fully operating his cultivation technique and absorbing spiritual energy into his body. As time went by, his internal spiritual power increased, and soon, the spiritual power in his meridians was overflowing.
He continued to run the cultivation technique.
“Buzz”
Lin Jing felt a sudden change, as if he had become a different person and the world around him had become more real.
He had broken through to the second level of Qi Refinement.
“Congratulations to the host for a successful breakthrough, you have gained 10 Harvest Points.”
“Ding”
“System prompt: As this is the first time the host has obtained Harvest Points, an additional reward of 100 Harvest Points has been granted.”
The unexpected reward took Lin Jing by surprise; he hadn’t anticipated this bonus. Could this be considered a newcomer’s benefit?
With the 10 Harvest Points from the breakthrough and the additional reward of 100 Harvest Points, he now had 110 Harvest Points.
Lin Jing remembered that upgrading the System Space only required 100 Harvest Points.
“System, open the panel.”
Then the panel appeared before him, and as Lin Jing looked up, indeed, he was now able to upgrade.

“System, upgrade.” Lin Jing didn’t hesitate at all and immediately chose to upgrade.
“Boom rumble…”
Following Lin Jing’s command, the System Space began to change, with the most noticeable being the space’s obvious expansion outward, increasing in size.
And the spiritual energy within the space grew denser.
The entire upgrading process lasted for ten minutes.
After ten minutes, a system notification sounded.
“Ding”
“Upgrade complete; the current System Space level is 2.”
“New feature unlocked: Accumulated Time.”
