Endless Extraction in a Game-Like World Chapter 223: The Origin Network’s Patch Notes, Adapting to S

[The real world and the abyss are different. Their concepts are different, and so is the power.]

[The powers of the abyss are naturally unrestricted, making it the best space for unfiltered power.]

[However, it is still a lower dinsion. Due to it being a lower dinsion, one move from a Rookie Rank can destroy a plane.]

[This is also partially why all your powers were unrestricted. Because it is a lower dinsion.]

"Oh." Caelus nodded.

He rembered the ascension quest he did for the Crown Rank. There, the lady who reprimanded him and Sylvia did ntion their powers were strong there.

He had thought of it when Frieze ntioned that the quest they underwent was created by him, but it seed like what the lady said did have so truth.

It made him wonder, just how much did Frieze know about everything?

He couldn’t tell properly.

The Origin Network’s explanation continued.

[Everything has a restriction in this world.]

[This is sothing you have to live with.]

[For starters. You can only equip up to two skills, with it increasing by 1 every rank.]

"WHAT?!" Caelus was baffled.

"What the fuck."

"Does that an I can only use Temporal Regression and Origin Sever, and the rest will just sit there catching dust?"

[There is a natural cooldown on equipping a skill.]

[Hence, you need to think carefully before equipping the skills.]

[There are however ways to remove cooldowns, and they are dropped in the domain as rewards. But, They are very rare.]

[The sa goes for traits.]

[You can only equip two traits.]

Caelus winced seeing this.

Things would not be like before where he could spam whatever the hell he wanted.

Now, He had to use his brain, acquire better skills, and be careful about what to equip.

And his extraction talent being limited only made it harder. Because unlike before, he couldn’t just go around extracting everything known to the world.

He had to be careful and decisive, or else he would be wasting his extraction chances per rank.

But, he honestly didn’t mind these two. He could equip Origin Sever and have an imnse advantage.

He checked its description.

[Origin Sever (Secret, 1-Star): Erase the concepts that bind things. The concept erasure is permanent for people that have a combat score below you. You can only erase one concept from a single person. If the person is stronger than you, the erasure will only last 3 seconds.]

This alone was enough for many things, and this talent would grow stronger.

Right now, it could only hold for 3 seconds and could only erase one thing from one person. But that was enough.

"But what about my dragon transformation?"

"And my chaos dragon body?"

[You will have to find a Chaos Awakening Stone to regain them back.]

[Transformations will have their own section in the system. Hence, you don’t need to equip them in a skill slot or trait slot.]

"..." Caelus’s expression was dark. "Hey, that thing is my trump card. Do you want to see die that badly?"

[You should be far more grateful that you got out of the abyss.]

Caelus fell silent hearing this.

Indeed, what the Origin Network said was the truth.

He should be more grateful. That world was fake; he wouldn’t want to live there any longer knowing that fact. But, he would go there one day and bring everyone to the real world.

"Also, how co you are talking to directly now, Origin Network?" Caelus was quite frankly surprised.

It was acting like his personal assistant.

However, no answer ca.

Instead, the Origin Network continued explaining to him.

[The known ranks of Star Cluster #007 are: Rookie (1-Star), Elite (2-Star), Master (3-Star), King (4-Star), Ace (5-Star).]

[The known rarities include: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Transcendent, Divine, Secret.]

"Eight rarities?" Caelus was quite frankly surprised.

But it made sense. This was the real world.

"Then, what about inside the domain? What is it like?"

[Explore that on your own.]

[However, the kingdom-building setting does not change. The real world has a much more progressive and advanced setting, as well as restrictions, compared to the towns and kingdom building in the abyss. It is also the final product.]

"Can I get an example?" Caelus asked thoughtfully.

[Your rank advancent is tied to your town/kingdom.]

"Eh?" Caelus’s lips twitched. "Does that an, if a town doesn’t et the requirents, I won’t be able to ascend properly?"

[Correct.]

Caelus imdiately wore a strange expression.

But, after the first difficulty of taking it all in, he didn’t mind it.

Honestly, he had it too good in the abyss. Everything was basically handed over to him and spoon-fed, but things in the real world were much more challenging and no longer as monotonous as before.

[Professions also didn’t cross over to this world as it has completely different models, and you can only have two professions. Not more than that under normal circumstances.]

[There are also other hidden secrets related to the status screen you can explore yourself after entering the domain.]

"By the way, how do the ranks work? Is it like the abyss with I, II, III?"

[No. The ranks each have 50 levels. You need to complete ascension quests like before to ascend.]

"Does the rule of killing the sa beasts reducing the EXP still stand?"

[Yes.]

"..." Caelus’s lips twitched hearing this.

"Fuck you, Origin Network."

[Warning! Profanity against the Origin Network is prohibited. Please lower your cortisol.]

"..."

Caelus sighed.

"What’s the main currency of the domain? Is it still Origin Credits?"

He quite frankly did not see his Origin Credits in the stats.

[Yes. It is now in your inventory.]

He decided to check his inventory.

What do you know, there was his Ruyi Jingu Bang, the one that Sun Wukong gave him. Not the one he forged with his own hands using the fragnt.

[Ruyi Jingu Bang (Divine, 1-Star): A fragnt of a real staff that can shrink to the size of a needle or grow as tall as the world. It has the sa function as the Ruyi Jingu Bang. It alters its size based on the user’s combat score. It ets the user’s power perfectly, amplifying it by 3 Damage when used.]

"From 6 to 3. Huh?" Caelus sighed. "I guess I’ll take it."

Compared to before, equipping the weapon didn’t increase his powers. This weapon just did 3 Damage.

That was right. Now, weapons no longer granted combat scores but only increased damage.

Armor, on the other hand, added more to HP or sothing similar.

Caelus felt his blood pumping. Things were more interesting now.

He was more motivated to thrive in this world.

But then, his expression darkened when he saw his Origin Credits.

"Uh..." Caelus sighed.

He had 100 Origin Credits, which was very nice.

He swiftly took out his phone. This world still used common currencies and not Origin Credits, and 100 Origin Credits were roughly $1.

"..." Caelus didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

But, scrolling more, he saw many ways to make money.

Dungeon Gates.

No matter which world, these things were common and in this world, clearing gates gave massive origin credits.

Of course, he needed money. If 100 Origin Credits was $1, he would need to make a whole lot of Origin Credits.

But now, it was a start from zero.

"How will I get rich?"

He had to think of a way fast.

But before that, he recalibrated his body.

Boom!

His body imdiately exploded as he reford into the state he was in back at the abyss when he first obtained the abyssal body. He looked exactly like he did, but with black hair and normal black eyes.

[Combat Score: 3 -> 6]

The body enhancent at D-Rank gave him 2 combat score, the ascended body gave 5, making it 6.

He did not have his dragon powers yet; he needed a Chaos Awakening stone for that.

Once he acquired his chaos dragon body, he will be even more stronger.

What the domain told him was that all the powers he had, he could take from there along with one new one, which was pretty good.

He didn’t know why it was a requirent, but he imdiately wanted to find ways to obtain it.

However, just then, he froze.

He looked at his chiseled body and extrely handso face.

"How am I going to explain this to Chad?" He was baffled.

At the sa ti, he noticed an extrely bad sll and sticky substances all over the bathroom.

"Are these impurities from my body?" Caelus was stunned.

With the Ascended Body obtained, all the impurities left him, but the bathroom was a ss.

He swiftly began cleaning the bathroom, took a shower, and got out.

Luckily, Chad had already left the dorm, hence he didn’t see his face.

But, it was only a matter of ti before he did.

He honestly didn’t know how to explain it.

For now, he decided to take a little rest. The domain would open in a few hours, and he still didn’t have a proper grasp on his situation and what the other side was like.

Hence, he needed to be prepared. Just before he jumped into the bed, he went to turn off the TV that Chad had left on; however, halfway through, he froze seeing the news.
