A Point-Black-Hole? Never Mind. / So I Can Spend Points on Stats Too?

"Let's go now, since the lab needs to collect data too."

Wendy gave Gwen a disapproving look, but instead pulled the Wuse Huohuo toward the wardrobe—

"I'll go after I change my clothes, Captain, you can go out first..."

Upon hearing this Wuse Huohuo, which was being pulled along by Wendy, couldn't help but shift its gaze—

Wendy actually treated Gwen like that?

This isn't like her at all...

Did something happen while we were going out?

Chapter 430 Integral Black Hole? Forget about it.

Inner Demon are something that makes all those who have unlocked their Gene Lock tremble at the mere mention of them.

When the Gene Lock is unlocked to the fourth stage, a powerful and violent consciousness will be generated within the human body. This consciousness is basically uncontrollable and will only turn the person into a terrifying monster.

As this violent consciousness is suppressed, Inner Demon will emerge.

This Inner Demon is different from traditional cultivation. In the fantasy world, the Inner Demon of a cultivator is born naturally when the body reaches this stage. Basically, no one can escape it, and it cannot be solved by external forces (big joke). Even the main god has no direct and thorough way to solve it, so the reincarnator must face it on his own.

At the same time, breaking through Inner Demon can also allow one to step into the intermediate fourth tier, awaken the Light of the Mind, and truly possess human rights in the legendary Main God Space, a place devoid of humanity.

Gwen's previous hesitation about whether to choose the Gene Lock, the all-powerful cheat code, in his development abilities stemmed from his fear that he wouldn't be able to overcome his Inner Demon.

After all, that thing was somewhat terrifying.

However, Gwen's ultimate choice of the Gene Lock as his power was also due to his Inner Demon—

Based on Gwen's research and exploration of his cheat abilities over the years, the ability he chose to develop was to solidify his potential and turn it into a talent.

If that's the case, then choosing the Gene Lock as a developmental ability should also enhance one's talent in the Gene Lock.

And it seems that this is indeed the case—

In just a few months, without experiencing any life-threatening ordeals, Gwen's Gene Lock had been successfully unlocked to the third stage, and to a considerable extent.

This may be related to the fact that Gwen himself is already very strong, and his combined abilities would be at least S-rank among the main gods. However, Gwen is still certain that this is also related to the abilities he chose to develop.

However, even with his talent in the Gene Lock, Gwen still harbored deep fear of Inner Demon.

He didn't have the healing power of the Main God Space to refresh the negative state of his body being possessed by the berserk consciousness, nor did he have the Resurrection Scripture or fragments of the Reincarnation Disc to revive himself.

In this situation, this divinity, which is said to help people see through their Inner Demon and awaken the Light of the Mind, is exactly what Gwen needs—

Especially when the other party's price only requires a fraction of Gwen's points... even if that fraction is actually one-sixth.

However, if this Solar Divinity doesn't originate from the infinite multiverse, but is similar to the death divinity in Gwen's memory, and instead comes from some Western fantasy world...

"It seems pretty good?"

After considering this possibility, Gwen suddenly felt that there wasn't much to worry about.

"Even if it's just the divinity left behind by the Sun God in an ordinary, unknown Western fantasy world, it's not something commonplace; it still has its extraordinary aspects..."

With these thoughts in mind, Gwen had already clicked on the golden Solar Divinity with his mind and selected to purchase it.

"Call..."

Having spent a fortune in the blink of an eye, he obtained an important item that could potentially help him overcome his Inner Demon and awaken the Light of the Mind. Even Gwen needed to calm himself down a bit.

Just as Gwen was preparing to adjust his state and try to merge with the Solar Divinity on the moon, a pop-up window suddenly appeared in the system interface in his eyes, as if an advertisement had been implanted.

As Gwen made contact with it, a jumbled mess of information flooded Gwen mind, causing him to frown.

It's not that the information is so large or so difficult to understand.

On the contrary, it was precisely because it was so easy to understand that Gwen frowned—

The message was simple: after a self-check, the system found many problems and could spend points to fix them.

Undoubtedly, a complete cheat code would be very tempting for Gwen.

However, Gwen questioned the choice of using points that could be used to purchase divinity for repairs.

"So, at least the online store has self-checking and repair functions, but it won't check automatically unless I ask, right?"

With a grumbling in his mind, Gwen began to re-examine his system.

Using the information from that message, Gwen began to examine the parts of the system that could be repaired.

The most noticeable thing is that Gwen has complained about it for a long time: the Chat Group system doesn't have a group chat function.

Looking at the glowing dot on the Chat Group icon, Gwen pondered for a moment and tried choosing to spend points to repair it.

As Gwen clicked "confirm," the points balance that had quietly appeared in the upper left corner of Gwen's vision began to scroll wildly, and in just a breath, it had already dropped by 100,000 points.

"Stop!"

Realizing that repairing this broken system would likely be a bottomless Gwen decisively called a halt—

"At this rate of consumption, I'm afraid my points won't even last a minute before they're all gone."

What Chat Group? If there isn't one, then so be it.

Isn't it just that you can't happily click '+1'?

If you don't want to order, then don't order..."

While mentally cursing the system's ruthlessness, Gwen didn't stop checking the system's repairable items—

Although the system's price is exorbitant, Gwen still wants to fix some features if possible.

For example, the option to travel between friends.

If the consumption could be reduced, even if it's just reducing the consumption of traveling between friends in the same world, it would be good news for Gwen.

As Gwen predicted, this option also had a repair option, and the repair of the light spots was much smaller than the Chat Group function.

However, after the function was fixed, Gwen still found that his points balance had been depleted by a full 200,000, and the repair spot not only did not disappear, but also became larger.

However, the enlarged spot of light did not continue to consume Gwen's points; instead, a notification popped up—

"Initial repairs have been completed."

If the user determines that the target is in the same worldview, they can only consume 1,000 points when traveling to and from the target.

If you travel to other worlds, you will still need to spend 1,000 points per day to maintain the shield against the Principle of Civilization.

Should we continue the repairs and restore the system's detection and judgment of the Principle of Civilization?

Whether.

Note: If you travel to other worlds with Principle of Civilization without proper protection, you will be targeted by those worlds.

After processing this highly suggestive information, Gwen didn't foolishly continue repairing; instead, he began to ponder—

"The so-called targeting..."

It probably refers to a situation like Final Destination, where you can choke to death even from drinking cold water, right?

However... the system's detection and judgment of the Principle of Civilization have been restored...

It feels like the cost would be Tianwen...

Moreover, I don't seem to have this need right now.

Now, I can confirm the identities of all my friends, except for that 'Great Scientist' who still hasn't chosen Soul Binding—

Apart from Sasha, they are all in the same universe... all on the Imaginary Tree of the Honkai: Star Rail Worldview, so this judgment is not needed for the time being.

"Yes, we can save that money."

Chapter 431 So I can add points too?

After happily saving a large number of points, Gwen began to explore other optional fixes on the system interface.

However, seemingly because the system was too badly damaged, Gwen did not see any repair options when he tried to access new repairable items.

"It can't be that I only get a prompt after I've performed a basic repair and activated any potential second-stage repair options, can it?"

With a mental scoff, Gwen didn't waste any more points trying, instead turning his attention to another interface that might be more valuable—

As Gwen had expected, the upgrade system interface also featured dots representing repairable options.

Seeing the glittering repairable options on each attribute, Gwen didn't hesitate much and began trying to repair the "Strength" attribute.

Under Gwen, whose eyelids were twitching, his score was reduced by more than a million before the repair of his strength attribute was completed, prompting a message asking "Do you want to proceed with the second phase of repair?"

"There really is a second phase of repair?"

However, what exactly do the first-stage and second-stage repairs represent here?

As he pondered this, Gwen began to study the power attributes of the repaired item.

Perhaps there's no need to investigate—in Gwen's vision, a plus sign indicating available options is flashing behind his Strength attribute, which displays "I89," enticing Gwen to click it.

"So, I could actually have added points to Deep Blue, but it was just shattered?"

Looking at the plus sign, Gwen clicked it with a somewhat strange expression—

"Should I spend 19683 points to increase my Strength attribute by one point?"

Whether"

"19683?"

This is... three to the power of nine?

Upon seeing the pop-up notification, Gwen paused, vaguely understanding the key point—

"In other words, to add one point to an attribute, you need a score of three raised to the power of your current level?"

Level 1: 3 points = 1 attribute point; Level 2: 9 points...

I am currently at level nine, so one point of attribute requires 19,683 points (3 to the power of nine).

Hiss...

To max out one attribute, I need nearly 40 million points.

This thing feels even worse than the exchange that adds basic attributes at the main god's place next door...

Having reached this conclusion, Gwen immediately abandoned the idea of using points to enhance his base attributes.

If it's when your body is still very weak at the beginning, it might be a good choice.

But now... it's too much of a loss.

However, although he didn't plan to directly exchange for attributes since he still had the ability to directly improve them, Gwen didn't ignore the previous issues—

"Therefore, the first phase of the repair is to restore the ability to exchange points for basic attributes."

So... what exactly is this so-called second-stage repair?

It's a deeper improvement, moving beyond simply increasing strength attributes to enhancing one's understanding of the so-called laws/rules/Tao.

Or is it an increase in width?

"At higher levels, like level ten or twenty, you can no longer allocate attribute points with level one stat allocation; you need higher-level permissions or abilities?"

Looking at his somewhat dismal attribute values after the upgrade, Gwen fell into deep thought.

Just as Gwen was staring at the system in thought, a rhythmic knocking sounded on the door, interrupting his Gwen of thought.

"Please come in."

Gwen gave a casual reply, but his gaze remained fixed on the system in front of him.

However, the person Gwen caught a glimpse of out of the corner of his eye still diverted his attention—

"Gwen, would you like to try some of the desserts Rita just made?"

Rita, dressed in a well-fitting maid's dress that accentuated her beautiful figure while completely covering her voluptuous skin, smiled charmingly at Gwen.

"Certainly."

Upon seeing the smiling maid, Gwen realized that he had overlooked Rita, whom he had just thoroughly enjoyed. He quickly stood up and took the tray from Rita's hands.
