Chapter 1668: Speculation About Skills Upgrade
An hour later, Luke finally recovered.
Osiris had the dical robot move him to a more comfortable bed.
Luke then told Selina and Dollar not to keep staring at him.
Only then were the woman and dog completely reassured – it was clear that things were now safe with Luke’s level-up this ti.
The two of them then went to look for snacks and drinks, and surfed the Net or watched dramas on their phone and tablet respectively. At the sa ti, they continued to observe the situation through the window.
Ignoring them, Luke closed his eyes and felt the effects of his level-up.
His ntal Strength had broken through 60, and his physical stats had also increased.
His triple-mode operation, which had always been a little sluggish since the beginning, now proceeded very smoothly.
Luke felt as light as a feather, as if he had returned to the relaxed state before dual-mode operation, but even better.
He sighed with relief. Finally, the hardware had been upgraded.
Compared with the physical stats, triple-mode operation put a lot of pressure on his ntal Strength.
Even though he had gotten used to it in the last few months, he had no choice but to overwork himself when he used ntal Hypnosis and Illusion on Pierce.
During this ti, his mind was compressed back into dual-mode operation, and either he or one of his clones inevitably had to enter standby mode.
But from now on, if he encountered a similar situation again, he and his clones would still be largely mobile.
After his Strength reached 60, Luke’s Self-Healing, Muscle Control, Physical Enhancent, Quick Reflex and other abilities all improved.
The chain reaction brought about by 60 ntal Strength wasn’t any less. The effects of his multi-mode operations, Telekinesis, Penetration, Annihilation, ntal Communication, Hypnosis and Illusion were also significantly enhanced.
In the system, these skills were still Elentary.
It was just like how people who scored 0 to 59 were considered to have failed, but their actual skills were a different matter altogether.
If the system wasn’t that smart…?cough, cough,?if it wasn’t that simple, the Basic, Elentary, Interdiate and Advanced levels could be further divided into three ranks each.
Dividing the Basic and Elentary levels wasn’t hard.
When Luke obtained his Elentary skills, they were all low-ranked.
After his relevant stats reached 40, with gradual testing and practice, he was able to turn them into mid-ranked skills.
By the sa logic, after his basic stats reached 60, his Elentary skills would beco high-ranked sooner or later.
Once his basic stats reached 80, his skills would enter the Interdiate level.
Both Alice and Wade’s Interdiate Self-Healing required 80 Strength.
Luke speculated that once his stats broke the 80 threshold, or even if he had 80 ntal Strength, 80 Strength and 60 Dexterity, his various abilities would reach the Interdiate level one after another.
His strength would skyrocket. At that ti, he wouldn’t be crushed even if he faced the Hulk or God of Thunder head-on.
It would be unlike now, when he could only use speed and distance to dodge them, and technology to solve the problem.
In a head-on battle, he could only suit up with heavy gear to withstand attacks for a short period of ti.
It was a pity that if one of his basic stats were higher, it would inevitably lead to shortcomings in various abilities. At the sa ti, that single stat would be limited by the two weaker ones, and he wouldn’t be able to fully utilize his strength.
A fatal weakness would inevitably appear in his originally stable strength, which would make him an easy target.
For example, if his Strength increased to 80 first, his multi-mode operations, Telekinesis, Penetration, Annihilation, ntal Communication, Hypnosis and super disguise could be weakened by more than 80%, or he would be unable to learn them and would lose them.
It would be the sa with increasing ntal Strength.
If he gave up on Dexterity, he would be cutting off the connection between Strength and ntal Strength, and the points he added to these stats would be largely wasted.
Thus, Luke accumulated a huge amount of points for Strength for a period of ti simply to survive.
Then, he took turns allocating points to Strength, ntal Strength and Dexterity in that order until they reached the 20-point mark, for their most stable and efficient use.
…
After his ntal Strength broke the 60 threshold, Luke gradually turned his attention back to researching his own abilities.
There was a noticeable decrease in the Bat Squad’s operations, from once every day or two to twice a week.
The others had no objections.
The Bat Squad’s operations weren’t compulsory. Their personal lives were more important than team operations, and they respected each other’s wishes.
If they wanted to participate in an operation, they could earn credit.
Otherwise, as long as they didn’t do anything bad (a certain scoundrel of a tycoon) and kept a low profile, it wasn’t a problem for them to travel, hole up at ho or whatever.
It was the end of August. Without Luke to fan the flas, the muddy waters in Arica gradually showed signs of calming down.
The muddy waters settled once more, turning into a breeding ground for the next round of chaos.
At that mont, Luke’s stats were:
Strength: 34 (Level 1 Star of Justice 10, Level 2 Star of Justice 20).
Dexterity: 18 (Level 1 Star of Justice 10, Level 2 Star of Justice 20)
ntal Strength: 33 (Level 1 Star of Justice 10, Level 2 Star of Justice 20)
After his ntal Strength reached 60, the Kunlun Chi Refining Technique gave him an additional 3 points for ntal Strength, 1 point for Strength and 1 point for Dexterity in a month.
Luke had finally maxed out his gains from this breakthrough.
At that mont, Joseph’s sumr break was coming to an end.
After his little brother said goodbye to the three girls, Luke personally sent him on a flight back to Texas.
The brothers boarded the plane and then discussed Joseph’s plans for the future.
But this little brother wasn’t easy to fool. From ti to ti, he would ask what Luke was planning.
Luke didn’t like to lie repeatedly to his family.
He could hide so information and skip over it, but he didn’t like to make up stories to mislead his family.
Joseph, for example, had found it odd that Luke would send him back on a plane, and Luke said that he couldn’t help but worry.
Joseph didn’t think it was a very strange reason.
What he didn’t know was that Luke was worried about Joseph’s “grand ambition” to beco a “scientific wizard,” as well as about his own luck.
Generally speaking, Luke’s family didn’t run into many extraordinary or dangerous situations, but when they did, it was always sothing big.
For example, Robert and Catherine had run into that mountain-like octopus while traveling.
When Claire went to shoot an MV, she ran into that evil spirit Alessa.
The other family mbers all had life-saving abilities that could support them for so ti.
It was only because Joseph was too small, and was always protected by soone else, that he didn’t wear sothing like a nanosuit.
However, Robert had a stock of Life 1, Light Daggers, nanosuits and chanical gloves, which could be used in an ergency.
Robert and Catherine usually wore the nanosuits. It was just that they used the disguise mode, so they just looked like black underwear.
Now, Joseph had a grand ambition.
If he was willing to work hard for it, he could be taught the Kunlun Chi Refining Technique in a few months.
They could call it a secret yoga technique which Catherine had paid a lot for, and which would be good for Joseph’s body.
In a few months, Luke should be able to solve the issue of ntal control with the nanosuit and its mini AI operation system.
In the face of danger, this new generation smart nanosuit could be activated with the mind or automatically activated to protect the user.
By then, the whole family would have a new wardrobe which would be like… a beggar’s tech version of Gold Nugget?
