Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 727 – Assessing The Gains

With the many changes Lin Wu saw in the Host Data it was hard for him to say that he wasn't happy with them.

Lin Wu saw that his innate skills had increased in proficiency as well.

"The skills I got from the Olive Viper King got better too." Lin Wu said as he read the info.

The Sound command skill had increased in proficiency due to his genial use and also the creation of the Undaunted Sapphire Blaze cleaver. The Sound command skill was used to misdirect the sound making the enemy confused about the attack and misread it.

It was a small addition, but to those enemies that were hyper sensitive and on the look out for sneak attacks, it would freak them out. They would think that the attack in front of them was fake and the true one might be coming from the back.

And even if they didn't think that, they would still have this doubt in their mind that would slow their response to the attack. Either way, it was useful and it didn't take much spirit Qi to use either.

His poison breath had increased in proficiency simply because he had used it so much. The same could be said for venom fang as well. Though Lin Wu reckoned that it was already on the border of being improved.

"Oh? I even got something new?" Lin Wu said as he continued to read below.

The line that Lin Wu was looking at was the new poison he now had.

"System, show me the details about this Shackling Lightning Poison." Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

——

POISON: Shackling Lightning Poison

INFO: The Shackling Lighting Poison was developed after the host gained the ability to use lightning elemental spirit Qi. It is derived from that and has the ability to paralyze the target on which it is use.

Additionally, if another creature touches the target, they will be affected by it as well and the poison will transmit to them. They too will suffer the same effects. The number of targets that can be infected depends on the amount of spirit Qi used to power the skill.

——

"Oh? So it's kinda like the improved version of the Numbing Poison." Lin Wu muttered.

~DING~

——

CORRECTION: The numbing poison's original effect is to dull the foe's senses. The paralysis effect is the catalytic effect that happens when the foe is poisoned with a large amount of Numbing poison. 

The Shackling Lightning Poison's primary effect is to target the nervous system of the foes and paralyze them.

——

"Huh… alright. If you say so…" Lin Wu replied, finding the system's response a bit surprising.

'Was it always this perspective?' Lin Wu wondered to himself.

Lin Wu then looked at the different energy sections and was a bit pained.

"Damn… I used up so much. It's like looking at my bank account again…" Lin Wu muttered.

His stored spirit Qi was almost gone and the one in the system's spirit Qi storage was greatly reduced too. There was just enough for emergencies. Though he still had Vital essence that was more than enough for him to use.

Then there was the System's own energy storage that it used for its own consumption and processes. Lin Wu rarely monitored this since the system was set to automatically top it up when it was running out of the energy.

But this time Lin Wu's attention was brought to the System's energy consumption rate.

"3501 units per hour? That's like… barely three days of energy needs of the system." Lin Wu calculated.

The difference was rather large now and Lin Wu realized that he needed to somewhat monitor this now.

'Wait… is this why the system has become a bit more perceptive?' Lin Wu wondered.

He thus decided to ask the system directly.

"System, why did the energy requirement increase? Also… did you unlock more A.I cores?" Lin Wu questioned.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: The energy requirement are naturally increased due to the increased data that is being continually processed. Additionally the host has assigned several tasks that need to be analyzed and sorted.

Currently the system has seven A.I cores unlocked. Three of them are always active while the other four are in reserve and activated when needed. The use of additional A.I. Cores will increased the energy consumption further.

——

'I see… I did keep on giving it tasks. Though I guess the additional cores is a good thing.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

"Also, if you activate all cores and use them to process the data and tasks you have on going will it speed up the process?" Lin Wu questioned.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: The use of additional cores will certainly speed up the process but it will also increase the system's energy consumption greatly. If all seven cores are active, the system's approximate energy consumption will be 23,977 units per hour.

——

"Goodamn! That's a lot… that's like seven times what is now." Lin Wu exclaimed seeing the massive increase.

He could tell that each core increased the consumption in a matter of multiples rather than a liner increase. 

'Though… now that I think of it, it should be just enough to match my active cultivation rate shouldn't it?' Lin Wu estimated.

After thinking of it, Lin Wu decided to let the system activate two more cores.

"System, use two more cores. And inform me when you are about to refill your energy." Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

——

ACTIVATING A.I CORES: 5 cores currently active

CURRENT SYSTEM ENERGY CONSUMPTION RATE: 3501 units/hour -> 14,752 units/hour

——

Lin Wu now just hoped to see the difference in the system's capabilities in the future and see what gains he would get.

Done with it assizing all the changes, Lin Wu continued traveling to the Millennium forest. He was about a quarter of the way there and would reach it till midnight.

"Am I forgetting something?" Lin Wu wondered.

Back at the border of the Frozen Cloud sect…

"Are you sure we should wait more?" Tian Han spoke.

"I'm sure master won't forget us!" Tian Chu said with confidence.
