Chapter 129 - 129. System Upgrade And My Actual Life Story (1/2)

I went back to the real world after I logged off from the Realm of Mind and I sat at the courtyard while having a clove cigarette in one hand and black sweeneted coffee in the other. Prius saw me looking all confused and he approached me as he too smoked his own brand of cigarettes.

”What's up my brother in law... You looked kind of troubled. Is your wisps giving you a problem or are you thinking about the business that is being ceased at this moment until every town has a deployment of soldiers from Aermagh?”

”Not really Prius... Haish... I was thinking of my system upgrade. I get to keep my allocated points. I also gain an additional attribute as well. The only thing is that I would be having is a higher demand for materials and I don't think I would be able to do it based on one profession only.”

Prius looked at me and discovered I had quite a number of professions and skills. While skills are acquired without any additional points, the profession that I had needs a lot of input as well.

”Don't you worry, my brother in law. What you need to do is trust your system and yourself. It's not good to keep your attributes exposed in this manner because everyone would know your professions as well as your allocation points.”

”Furthermore having an equal system like the rest would be fair and furthermore you could hide your stats from peering eyes. Don't you think so, brother?”

”I guess so... Well... Trish would be back soon and so does the children and the members soon. I had been grinding to Level up and it seems the progress is very slow indeed. Furthermore if I wear our Macleod's Lucky Badge, my progress would be at 2.6%. The only thing is that everyone's level is at 1000 while mine is at 1,000,000.”

”Are you sure? Let me check my database. Normally a person to attain a 1 million cap for their levels are considered as a Master already. It would be an Elite Master at 10 million and 100 million for a Grand Master.”

”Hoo... Hoo... Hoo... You are a Master once you upgraded system. You've indeed come a long way, brother. To achieve a Master level is not easy because only certain people with certain capabilities could open up these levels. The rest are capped at only a 1000...but you... Tsk tsk tsk... Unbelievable.”

”Well Prius... I don't think Christmas is around the corner yet. And furthermore please keep it within the household. And I think I would be getting the system upgrade tonight.”

*Ding* Good idea, host. You won't regret it. Initialisation and Upgrade would take between 2 to 6 hours.

”Thanks, Ceres. I greatly appreciate it.” I thought inwardly as I noticed the seniors were marching in followed by Patricia and I noticed that our children had reached level 5, the seniors had also reached Level 3 while Patricia herself had gained to Level 4. I handed 100 allocation points each to everyone and our children realises that they have to depend on themselves to upgrade as well.

*Ding* Castle Keating-Macleod has now reached #1 position in members ranking.

”Well guys... We have reached #1 in House standings for achieving the top level of members. We had also reached #1 on House's reputation, wealth and management too. Right now, there's going to be a race for the rest to catch up already.”

Supper was served before our 2 cooks left for the night and everyone chomped down on their pork chops with potato wedges, carrot sticks, cucumber, tomato and coleslaw. I had my share and I informed Patricia that my system would be upgraded tonight.

”Good for you honey... Your system is terribly outdated. Once you had upgraded, you will feel like you're reborn.” Patricia said as she hugged on to my arm. As usual, that night I bought all the beef and mutton as well as some chicken and ducks from our children and the rest of the members.

”Daddy... Do you have anything to share with us like a battle strategy?” Ingles spoke up for the rest of the members. By the looks of her she reminded me of Alleicea and Aventina, the two orphans we had discovered way back when we made our last stop at Camp Salvation in the past series.

”Actually I do have a simple battle strategy plan... One is to kite and the other is to tank and then take two squad to flank and create a pincer attack. Its the most basic form of battle strategy and it works everytime.”

”I will draw it out for you the battle plan, it is great for you to practise on the goblins, elven, imps, Orcs and the undead. Other than that it's a basic formation of tanking and protecting the rear.”

”Tomorrow then, it's time to wash up and get ready for another day tomorrow. Let me know when you had done all your Quests because I have another 15 more to go from the Southern District.”

”Wow...once we complete all the quests, we would be rewarded right Daddy? I heard the prize is 50k credits per person.” Kayla asked and I knew for sure she would empty her wooden chest upstairs in the room and fill it up with snack and other candies.

”Yup... 50k from the organiser and 25k from the Castle of Keating-Macleod.” I replied as everyone was delighted as they bounded off to their respective rooms to wash up and get ready for bed.

....

”Honey, are you going to upgrade your system in you sleep?” Patricia asked as she herself had gone under the covers.

”Yes, dear... It says it would be between 2 to 6 hours. I should be awake by 5 am tomorrow to prepare another batch of menu. Let's discuss about Beauty World tomorrow then.”

I said as I dimmed the lights and went under the covers too and we playfully tickled ourselves silly and laughed until our bed became our little battleground. After an hour or two, when everything had settled down, I laid on the bed and closed m eyes as I called upon Ceres to begin the upgrade and reboot.
