The news from Trechel immediately dampened Lin Yu's enthusiasm for continuing his tour of the Heca world. Since he wasn't going out for the time being, Lin Yu turned his attention to improving his physical condition.
However, this time, Lin Yu naturally did not use the most traditional method to change his physique, which he used in the Three Thousand Immortal Realms. Instead, he injected the potion directly through a fantasy weapon.
Lin Yu had received this injection once before, and his body recovered remarkably well with absolutely no adverse reactions.
This is likely due to Lin Yu's previous training, which gave him a physical foundation that was already superior to that of ordinary people.
Therefore, even if Lin Yu slightly speeds up the injection process now, it won't cause too many side effects on his body.
However, since this was ultimately about using the power of the fantasy weapon, Lin Yu, just to be on the safe side, had the Hongmeng System simulate the energy level of the fantasy weapon.
"Ding! Calculation in progress... Calculation complete! Would you like to view details?"
"Check the details!"
Familiar dialogue, familiar display window— Lin Yu browsed the Hongmeng System's deduction information, looking thoughtful.
As for the Hongmeng System, it appeared beside Lin Yu in the form of a virtual image, continuing to introduce the deduced information to him.
"Master, according to the calculations, the remaining power of the fantasy weapon is sufficient to support the second stage of spiritual energy replenishment. However, since energy has been used now, it will be somewhat troublesome to activate the third stage of spiritual energy replenishment later."
"If we rely entirely on the energy of the fantasy weapon itself, the remaining energy will be completely insufficient to support the replenishment of spiritual power in the third stage. Of course, at the current rate of consumption, running out of energy is only a matter of time."
"To carry out the third phase of power replenishment, the power of the three chosen ones of the Vast Star is indispensable. However, if everything goes smoothly on the Vast Star, the current energy is just enough, and there will be one percent left over at the end."
The conclusion is obvious: replenishing strength in the second phase is the best option now. The longer it drags on, the greater the danger to Lin Yu will be.
However, the words of the Hongmeng System still made Lin Yu frown slightly.
"To correct you, they are two chosen ones," Lin Yu said with a serious expression.
As for the chosen one who was removed from Lin Yu's list, needless to say, it was none other than the wise Smart.
Regardless of the fact that the wise Smart is setting up another grand scheme, the most useless person among the people Lin Yu has chosen is undoubtedly him!
Compared to Hulun'er and the tribal high priest, the wise man Smart has not provided Lin Yu with a single believer or even a fraction more faith power.
Therefore, Lin Yu did not regard him as his follower.
The virtual avatar of the Hongmeng System was somewhat speechless after hearing this, but she didn't say anything more, only reminding Lin Yu, "Okay!"
"Host, please begin the second phase of energy replenishment. You may choose the direction of replenishment you wish to receive."
This sudden question startled Lin Yu. He had received a phase of energy replenishment before, but he hadn't gone through this step at all!
Lin Yu couldn't help but ask in surprise, "We still need to choose a direction to supplement our abilities? There wasn't this step when we supplemented our abilities before."
The Hongmeng System seemed to have anticipated this, patiently explaining, "Although energy is replenished simultaneously, they are fundamentally different. The first stage of energy replenishment is merely to lay a solid foundation for your body, enabling it to adapt to various forms of evolution."
"However, in the second stage of energy replenishment, you will need to choose the methods of focusing on replenishing energy according to your own will."
"Even those at the same level of Godhood have different areas of expertise. For example, the God of Truth and Order is more skilled in the power of order and laws. Now, for various reasons, you can choose again."
"In this regard, this system cannot make decisions for you, and it's important to remind you that it's simply impossible to supplement your strength in every aspect. After all, energy is finite; to achieve all-round development means that none of the aspects will be particularly outstanding."
The virtual avatar of the Hongmeng System gave a long explanation, finally clarifying the cause and effect of the matter.
Lin Yu nodded upon hearing this, and then said, "In that case, give me a template so I can think about it carefully."
The specific direction in which things develop is also quite important for Lin Yu's future fantasy journey, so he cannot be careless.
Upon hearing this, the Hongmeng System immediately began its simulation, and then another notification popped up.
As the notification message popped up, the virtual avatar of the Hongmeng System also began its introduction.
"Generally speaking, you can choose five main attributes. This icon shows the areas you are currently most proficient in! Of course, you can also choose the attributes listed later in the order. The system will follow your choices."
Lin Yu's mental strength was quite powerful, so he only needed to glance at the few words in the message to understand its full meaning.
In game terms, Lin Yu is currently leveling up his skills!
However, unlike ordinary games, Lin Yu had previously trained, so his skill points for each attribute were not completely empty.
After contemplating the world for a breath or two, Lin Yu had already made his decision.
"System, prioritize replenishing skill points... no, I mean energy, in this order: first speed, second healing ability, third defense ability, fourth mental strength, fifth physical strength. As for the remaining attributes, ignore them for now."
Lin Yu's idea was very simple. As the saying goes, in martial arts, speed is the only way to break through, so it was perfectly reasonable for him to prioritize improving his speed.
Once his speed is increased, he can attack at a faster pace, catching his opponent off guard. Furthermore, if he is truly outmatched, he can quickly escape!
Next is healing ability. Lin Yu's current physical strength is still very ordinary in the entire fantasy universe, so in order to avoid serious injury, he needs to allocate more power to healing ability.
The third most important defensive capability goes without saying; enhanced defense reduces the damage received.
In summary, Lin Yu prioritized improving defensive capabilities over offensive capabilities when configuring his attributes.
Of course, he had his own considerations behind this.
