"I have to cling tightly to this thigh...!"
"Brother Galen?" Hulk's voice interrupted his thoughts. "What are you thinking about? Did what I said just now give you a more intuitive understanding of the difference in strength between different races?"
"Ah... yes, yes." He Xi hurriedly replied.
Hulk seemed to enjoy sharing what he had seen and heard with others, so he continued, "Actually, this also involves the Adventurer's Guild's attribute calculation system. You know about that system, right?"
He Xi nodded.
"When I was adventuring in the northern frontier, there was a dwarf brother in my team. The Adventurer's Guild's assessment report showed that his 'Strength' attribute points were about the same as mine. But when we actually sparred, his strength was clearly a cut above mine. Only later did I learn that the attribute calculation system had been created by human scholars, so it used humans as the baseline template."
"Therefore, when this system is applied to other races, there will be a 'deviation.' To measure their strength more accurately, the guild usually uses a 'racial coefficient' for conversion. For example, when assessing a dwarf's Strength attribute, they generally multiply its value by a coefficient of around 1.2. The same principle applies to other races; only the coefficients differ."
Hearing this, He Xi finally understood the logic behind this world's attributes completely!
Attribute values were calculated with the "human baseline" set at 1.0. Other races naturally possessed different "base coefficients." Advancing to become a "professional" could then be seen as obtaining a powerful "class multiplier" on top of that foundation!
This also cleared up many things for him:
First, why the Parsing Points required to extract different racial traits from the light orb varied so wildly!
Humans: 10 points. Dwarves: 15 points. Moon Pupil Elves: 200 points. Earth
