Ye Chen paid no attention to the other system notifications.
But the notification about "chakra feedback" caught his attention.
Some time had passed since Ye Chen had broken through to Mid Kage Level.
He had kept receiving chakra feedback throughout that time. A lower-level ninja would probably have already skipped ranks and advanced.
Yet Ye Chen's strength had not made "an inch of progress."
Of course, his chakra reserves had grown by the day.
It was just that his strength level remained "stuck" at Mid Kage Level, without budging.
Ye Chen had previously noted that breaking through from Mid Kage Level to Peak Kage Level required at least 10 million in chakra reserves.
With the event feedback over this period, the chakra within Ye Chen had finally approached the threshold for a breakthrough.
Now that he had received another 1.5 million in chakra feedback, Ye Chen wanted to know whether he had met the conditions for advancement.
So he interrupted the system notifications and asked directly:
"System, how much more chakra do I need to advance?"
The system promptly stopped "playing" the notifications and fell silent for a moment.
[Ding! Scan results: Host needs another 500,000 in chakra reserves to advance to the next stage.]
Ye Chen pumped his fist hard and exclaimed excitedly:
"Fantastic! That's great news!"
For ordinary players, 500,000 in chakra reserves was no small amount.
Especially with "inflation," the chakra exchange ratio in the shop kept rising.
For Ye Chen, however, 500,000 in chakra reserves only required a day or two of system feedback.
The benefits of the greatly increased player count had finally become apparent.
Ye Chen believed that as the game remained open, more and more players would enter the game world.
The corresponding rate of chakra feedback would also grow faster
