Favor Points

Biodata

Power Progression

Favor Points do not have levels of their own; their primary long-term progression is Su Mu's River Affinity.

Acquisition

Uses

River Affinity Refinement

Favor Points are the principal resource for increasing River Affinity. Higher Affinity strengthens Su Mu's connection and control over the river, unlocks further upgrades, and advances his refinement of the River of Time. 6 71 162 418

• Early on, approximately 100 points raise Affinity by 0.001%. 6
• At later stages, 100,000 points raise Affinity by 1%, while 1,000,000 points raise it by 10%. 117 346
• Major Affinity thresholds unlock new functions or cause qualitative changes in Su Mu's relationship with the river. 71 162 230 418 509

Ability, Law, and Cultivation Upgrades

Favor Points directly improve Su Mu's abilities rather than requiring conventional cultivation alone.

• Water Control and Swimming — Reaching Level 1 costs 10 points per sub-ability; later upgrades cost 100, 1,000, and 5,000 points as the required Affinity thresholds rise. 6 14 72 162
• Cultivation arts — Favor Points advance arts such as Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art and Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength, granting their insights and increasing Su Mu's cultivation. 17 26 47 72 90
• Laws — The Law of Space costs 1,000 points to reach Level 1 and 10,000 points for the next level. 47
• Other methods — Nine Secrets requires 2,000 points for its first layer, while the God Slaying Treasure Technique requires 3,000. 120 134

Spirit Beast Contracts and Care

Favor Points are required to form contracts with, heal, feed, and strengthen Su Mu's Water Beasts and Spirit Pets.

• Contracting Little Mahi costs 10 points. 9
• Contracting Chaos Golden Spirit costs 100 points. 57
• Healing Stone Yue Beast costs 500 points. 29
• Healing the Time-Space Origin Beast costs 50,000 points, followed by another 5,000 points to form a contract. 177

Major Documented Rewards

System Behavior and Limitations

• Rewards scale with the severity and scale of the problem resolved; large threats to the river's order are substantially more profitable than routine maintenance. 77 496
• River stability can make Favor Points difficult to earn, as peaceful stretches provide only minor maintenance tasks and few major incidents. 317 496
• When Su Mu fails to identify the cause of the River of Time's falling water level, the system judges his attitude negatively and heavily reduces his rewards. 514
• The system eventually detects Su Mu's attempt to create pollution and repeatedly purify it for points, making the exploit ineffective. 555
• Favor Points are central to Su Mu's plan to fully refine the River of Time and eventually leave it with Nannan and his companions. 418 607
