Re: Evolution Online

Chapter 1226  999

Liam stared at the Spire of Ascension Invitation Token in his hand in astonishment. There was also the level 999 notification that was flashing in front of him.

He had only just now set out for training and set his goal of reaching level 999 in a year but he was already done with everything in a little over a week?

Liam did not know what to think of this. The elf had made this out to be a huge deal but here he was already at the finish line. He needed a lot more information on everything. Unfortunately, there was only so much information that Tilia could provide him since the world was yet to be integrated.

Liam frowned. The elf was correct. He needed to step outside of this world to truly understand everything. However, not to some world where the system shops were restricted. He should go to a place that would allow him to move freely and get everything that he required without arousing any suspicions.

Something like this would be dangerous for sure. There was no other way. He simply could not afford to remain a frog in a well if he was to go up against the likes of the divine temple high-priestess.

Liam put away the thoughts in his mind as he first opened up his status screen.

After seeing his status screen the first thought that entered Liam's mind was confusion. All his stats looked very weirdly rounded up to a nice big number. Sure, he was satisfied with his progress. These numbers were quite good even when compared to the stats of a divine beast like Luna. But the numbers felt very weird and suspicious. Was it a good thing? Did he gain a lot of stats? Gaining insights into the various Dao seeds had given him levels and stats. He had never bothered to check how many levels or stats each upgrade had given him. Now that he checked it out, it was slightly more than 10 stat per attribute per level. This was ridiculous because his tutorial gain had been the best so far, at least until level 100 and that had been a stat gain of 3 per attribute per level.

Between then and now, he had somehow racked up these 7000 extra stats on each attribute even getting all of his attributes balanced and evened out.

Liam had never aimed to target strength or agility or intelligence for that matter to better his mana control because he was a versatile fighter who relied on many techniques.

While this made him all-rounded, this also made him less powerful in a way. He thought that he had made up for this drawback by consuming some of stat bestowing fruits and herbs but in the end, he had gathered an insane number of stat points.

Considering that most of his levels came from his dao seeds, most of his stat gains were probably gifted by the same dao seeds. Liam did not need to access an information packet to guess this much.

What he was curious to find out was if there was some limit on how many stats he could gain?

As he studied the stat panel again and again, he couldn't help but think that he had reached some sort of limiter. Otherwise, how could his stats be so evened out?

In that case, did he also miss out on some stat rewards? Perhaps his multitude of dao seeds had given him a lot more than 10000 strength but he simply couldn't get it because he reached some sort of imaginary limit?

If so how to get past this limit?

Now that he had crossed the chasm between level 100 and level 1000, he once again had a lot of doubts and unanswered questions. Heck, he still had several doubts in his current level.

For instance, how did the stat reward by the dao seeds work exactly? He seemed to have gotten a lot more stats from the nether related dao seeds. Was it because he had comprehended them individually and then combined them all together?

Then what about the ice elemental dao seed? Could he gain more if he becomes more attuned to the dao seed and understands it as a sum of its individual components?

Liam patiently meditated for a bit as he thought about the various things but it was clear that his knowledge was limited and he could only go so far in this manner.

He stared at the vast expanse of nether-filled lands all around him. With a bitter smile, he shook his head. This would have to wait. He needed to access the system shop once again.

This was not a big deal as Luna helped him get there in a few seconds. With her teleportation skill in play, it did not matter if he had to come back to the shop every single day.

But it would be more convenient if this shop was online on the system interface. Liam wondered if such a feature would be available after the integration was successful.

Or perhaps he needed to upgrade their settlement further. He knew that he had been quite lax in this department, concentrating only on his personal growth. This was also something that he needed to rectify, though he did not have any good ideas as to how to help the others. Whatever he did would ultimately result in him babysitting them which he definitely did not plan on doing.

Contemplating his options, Liam entered the magic shop when Tilia almost banged right into him as she flew 

towards him at an astonishing speed.
