The Legacy System

Chapter 62 - 62: Stats And Skills

'Those old fogies are too damn cautious. I am sure they have done preparations too.'

But Eric had no way to know about this old man or the old fogies he was talking about. He just knew that in front of him at the moment the alarm bells were sounding.

​​

He had to be more careful and even more hard-working from now on. These guys had had their systems for more than 1 year according to Kirigaya's poisoning time.

They would have surely reached a high level by now, and when the S-day happened they would be even more powerful.

But how could he have escaped these guys during his previous life, they would surely be big figures that he couldn't have missed.

Then he was reminded of another rumor, the 9 Gods of Earth. Nobody had seen them or were they sure they existed.

But their territories were called the 9 God-dooms. They were said to live far away from worldly matters and were trying to go beyond this world.

There were even words of some of them ascending and going to the mysterious Immortal World, where even Eric wanted to go.

This made sense, but he couldn't believe how lucky he had been in his previous life. He had been able to found an empire and keep it strong even though his system had been activated late.

But in one thousand years a lot of things could happen, not to mention that probably those guys didn't even deem him an important ant at that time.

Everything changed this time though, this time he was going to show them who was the boss. These damn youth feelings, the cheap vanity they were after.

Returning to his senses, Eric saw that Kirigaya was still lying down on the couch, while Akira was standing beside him with a deep-thinking face.

Since he didn't have much to do, Eric thought that it was time to upgrade his other skills. Out of the three skill points he had 2 remaining.

So he told Akira to seat on the couch, and then he lied down in there, with his head over her soft thighs.

There were still 3 sub-system slots remaining at the moment, so it would be a waste to use another skill point on this skill.

He had better uses for them, with that thought in mind he took a look at his recent stats.

Name: Eric Jade

Race: High human (blocked-5%)

Level: 13

Exp: 56/169

Strength: 23

Dexterity: 21.5

Vitality: 22

Agility: 21.6

Spirit Power: 12

Intelligence: 84

Luck: 97

Skills: 'Eye of Clairvoyance', 'Pure Jade Body', 'Inventory Box', 'Sub-system', 'slave-seal'

Equipment: 'Silent Reaper'

Cultivation Techniques: 'Chaos Creation Technique'

Only his sub-system and the slave-seal skills were upgraded out of them. He still had 485 SP points left in the balance.

So he thought that of upgrading at least two of his skills before using the skill points since he could afford to expend some SP points at the moment.

Not to mention that as soon as Akira and Kirigaya started farming points for him, he would have a fast way of reproducing those points.

Thinking like this he decided to have a look at the shop before he did anything, perhaps there was something worthy to be bought right now.

There seemed a lot of extra skills, weapons, and potions to be coming out and they were definitely better than the previous stuff, but so were their prices.

The average price of the stuff in there was at least more than 200 SP points of the previous average price.

It was daylight robbery to a poor guy like Eric, but who could he complain to. Anyway, he decided to have a look through them, and decide what he would buy in the future.

After skimming through all of them, finally, something caught his eye, it was a skill. What made this skill important to him, was that this was a stealth skill.

Until now he didn't have such a skill, but he knew from experience that a stealth skill was a life-saving trump card in some time.

Not to mention that he might need sometimes to spy on someone, so a stealth skill was definitely needed. The only problem was its price.

This skill was called, ��master cheating' and it cost 650 SP points. But there was a big reason why it caught Eric's attention.

With this skill, he could not only erase his presence from someone's eyes and senses, but he could also use it to change his appearance.

The full skill was,

Master Cheating Rarity A Upgradable 650 SP

Master Cheating allows the user to erase his presence and any type of energy leaving the host's body. Total stealth, from eyes and senses to anyone in the range of 3 levels above host.

Master Cheating could also be used as an appearance shifter skill, to change the host's physical appearance but also his aura to anyone in the range of 3 levels above the host.

While it was expensive it was worth it. So Eric decided that he was definitely going to buy this skill in front of him.

But he was surprised to see that for every skill in there, there was another option by their side. Buy for subordinate, this new command was truly precious.

He had almost forgotten that his subordinates also needed skills in the future. He was thinking only for himself at the moment.

He wondered if they could have his skills though. With this thought in mind, he opened his stats one again and started to click over his skills.

He was surprised to see, that he could really pass some of them to his subordinates, but only the skills that he had bought from the system with SP points.

The skills that he had gained himself were impossible to be passed down to his subordinates, like the 'Pure Jade Body' for example.

The rest were passable though, as long as he paid the price in SP points that is. Since he had already bought them once though he earned a reduction in price.

50% off for D grade skills, 40% off for C grade skills, 30% off for B grade skills, 20% off for A grade skills, 15% off for S grade skills, 10% off for SS grade skills, 5% off for SSS grade skills.

There seemed to be more information but that was blurred, apparently, he didn't have the qualifications to look behind that. But he had an idea of what it might be though.

The only problem was that his skills were all B grade and above, and he didn't have much profit from the sale, not to mention that their price seemed crazy.

He had to think well before he spent his SP points from now and in the future, especially when he had a lot of subordinates and soldiers.

For the time being, he decided to only buy some necessary stuff like the basic three potions, Low Healing Potion, Low Body Tempering Potion, and Low Spirit Power Potion.

These were really important for his, Akira's and Kirigaya's training. So without losing much time he immediately bought 30 potions of each of the three.

90 SP points flew out of the window, if he continued spending like this then he would surely go bankrupt one day.

Thinking like this he had a great idea, why didn't he try to produce them himself? While he would need a lab, and the materials, and the formula, it would surely be cheaper.

Not to mention that it was easier making money than making SP points. With this thought in mind, he immediately opened the Skills & Abilities window and started looking for the formula.

It took him a while to search about it, but he finally found it, there was a formula for each of the potions that he had just bought, only that their price was a bit too salty.

Each of the formulae had a price of 1100 SP points, not to mention that it clearly stated that it should be concocted by a grade 1 alchemist.

While Eric knew what Alchemy was in name, he had no idea what it really was, or how it worked. This was the first time he was thinking of something like this.

He just hoped that there was an alchemy book or skill somewhere here that could help him become a grade 1 alchemist easily.

He was able to find it, but he wasn't happy at all about its price. Grade 1 alchemist book of knowledge, had a price of 1000 SP points.

In total he would need at least 4300 SP points to be able to buy the three formulae and the skills, not to mention finding the herbs in the real world, buying and concocting.

Taking in consideration the fact that he wanted to create an army, that would be extremely necessary. So he didn't have much of a choice.

He just hoped he could find a way to grind some SP points besides his normal way of farming. First things first he had to buy them.

Together with the stealth skill, they went for a scary total of 5000 SP points, not to mention what he had to spend to buy skills for his subordinates.

He was having a headache just thinking about it. He had no idea of giving up though, quite on the contrary all this was making his blood boil.

He would surely achieve all his goals. The most important ingredient to reach the top is an unbending will, and he certainly possessed such a thing.

Leaving the calculations aside for the moment, he decided to use 200 SP points to upgrade 'Eye of Clairvoyance', and 'Pure Jade Body'.

Then he used the remaining two skill points on them to upgrade them once again. With the two upgrades, these skills became even more terrifying…
