Chapter 43

Luolin walked towards Ailuka's direction, but when he reached her side, he discovered that this fellow was already fast asleep.

'If I let you keep watch, it really makes one uneasy.'

Luolin shook his head helplessly, adjusting the coat covering Ailuka a few times so that it could cover her more comprehensively.

'Sigh, one look and you can tell she has something on her mind, but she won't say it.'

Luolin knew that Ailuka had this kind of personality, but he also felt helpless about it.

In the deep silence of the night, Luolin also felt bored, so he could only study other things—

'Didn't it say before that I could use this stick? What's the specific method?'

Luolin picked up the stick that looked like a tree branch but was actually incredibly hard and asked.

[Master, it can indeed be used.]

'So how exactly do I do it?'

Luolin asked strangely. What was said before seemed to be that the card system needed to be upgraded?

[Master, you can look at the original position of the card system in the favorability points shop.]

Following this, Luolin looked according to these words and saw another thing in the original position of the card system—

'Card System Advanced Version.'

[Click to view details.]

Luolin still followed the favorability system's words and took a look.

'Favorability Card System Upgraded Version, on top of the original mechanism, adds the [Free Attribute Configuration] function, which means you can convert the attribute values on the same card into the desired attributes.'

This introduction was also very concise and clear, meaning that if the bonus on a card was 'Intelligence,' and Luolin didn't want this attribute, he could change it to one of the other three attributes.

'Can I use this weapon through this?'

Luolin picked up the 'tree branch' in his hand and looked at it again. The requirement to unlock its special ability was that 'all four major stats' must remain consistent, so with the card's 'free attribute configuration,' it was indeed possible to find a way to meet this condition.

[That's right, if the card's attributes can be freely exchanged, then this condition can be met. Of course, if Master can find a character card that just happens to balance your attributes, that would work too.]

'Forget about that damn luck, with that kind of luck I might as well jump off a cliff to see if there's any inheritance left by predecessors or something.'

Luolin complained.

Moreover, even if he just happened to get one card, once Luolin leveled up, the balance would still be broken.

Would he have to find new cards to maintain this balance after every level up?

'By the way, speaking of cards, I got Shirna's card too, right?'

Luolin suddenly remembered about Shirna and then checked the card.

Card·Shirna

Strength +5

Agility +5

Intelligence -50

Special Attribute Bonus: None

Current Quality: Common

Current Level: 1 Star

Description: This girl doesn't seem very smart.

Current Accumulated Favorability: 100

.....

Reducing intelligence, is that even acceptable? This is probably a debuff attack! Ailuka's card also reduces intelligence, but not by this much!

This card is temporarily useless to Luolin.

As for the 100 favorability points, Luolin actually couldn't say exactly when he obtained them. After grinding so many of these things, he simply couldn't remember. Fortunately, he could check at any time.

"Sigh, looks like I'll have to work hard on grinding favorability points."

Luolin sighed and glanced at the price—50,000 favorability points.

"Are you fucking robbing me?"

[Hello, yes indeed.]

"I..."

Luolin was momentarily speechless.

[If Master is really dissatisfied with this price, then... how about a discount? Ten thousand, just ten thousand points will do, and this ten thousand will also offset ten thousand of the debt. How about that? Generous enough, right?]

It must be said, when the favorability system put it this way, Luolin immediately felt he could make a push for it. He currently had about two thousand points, which didn't seem too far off.

[Damn it! You're already so far ahead of me, and you're still going at it!]

The resentment system suddenly bubbled up, clearly very dissatisfied with the favorability system's approach, but the favorability system wasn't afraid at all.

[Bleh bleh bleh, you can't think of good methods yourself, so you blame me?]

[But you can't do this! Always offering discounts on various things...]

[Why not use the authority to directly discount those things? Besides, Master definitely supports me too.]

The favorability system seemed quite self-righteous, and the resentment system warned Luolin again.

[Host, don't forget, you can't let its level exceed mine by too much, otherwise I'll disappear. If you still want the things in the shop, you'd better not do this.]

"Of course I know."

Luolin affirmed. In other words, while grinding favorability, he also had to find ways to generate some resentment to maintain balance.

Moreover, because the favorability side also had star levels, after reaching level two, the favorability gained was obviously much more, which made it easy to pull away from the resentment system.

"Don't you have something like resentment levels like he does?"

Luolin couldn't help but ask. That way he could relax a bit.

[No, the amount of resentment obtained is only related to actions. It's all because you, Host, are too petty. Listen to me, see that young girl in front of you? Take advantage of her while she's sleeping and force yourself on her. Then she'll definitely want to kill you, and that resentment value, tsk tsk tsk...]

"..."

Luolin was speechless.

Go to hell.
