Chapter 368 - Last Upgrades
Rean also got his upgrade in the Electrical Formations Repository. As mentioned before, most of the repository space was empty, so he could practice the formations there. In the end, it didn't receive any visible change. However, Rean was more interested in the system of the Repository.
"Last time, I only got an introduction to Circuitry Formations, but nothing about how to build them."
Rean quickly touched the orb on the wall before sending his Spiritual Sense and Energy inside again. Soon after, the same menu reappeared.
[Welcome to the Electrical Formations Repository System.]
[Please select an option.]
[01- List of articles available.]
[02- Formations Test Field (Upgrade needed).]
Rean quickly accessed the first option, and a new list appeared for him.
[01- Introduction to Circuitry Formations.]
[02- Circuitry Formations: Methods of Creating - Basics.] (New)
Rean's eyes immediately lit up.
"That's what I'm talking about! Option Number Two!"
[01- Spiritual Electric Current Usage and Control - Basic.]
[02- Spiritual Electromagnetic Waves - Basic.]
[03- The Components Necessary for Circuitry Formations - Basic.]
[04- Spiritual Circuitry - How to create or transform basic formations into Circuitry type formations (Requires the Mastery of the First Three Options).]
Rean couldn't help but become excited.
"Hahaha! So what if they're just basic types? They would be revolutionary in the cultivation world! Oh, right! Sister Orb, what does the Formations Test Field do? Does it have any special feature?"
[But of course! This is a simulation field. As long as you have the parts necessary, you can use the Test Field to put them together.]
"Uh? Wouldn't I be able to do the same in the outside world?"
Sister Orb laughed after hearing that.
[Idiot. Do you think it's that simple? The simulation field only needs an example of the material. After that, it can simulate as much as you need. Let's say you have just so much gold for a Circuitry Test. The Test Field can bring out an infinite amount of gold for you to work with. Of course, that gold doesn't really exist in reality. As I said, it's just a simulation. Still, can you imagine just how much work it would save you?]
Rean became even more excited after hearing that!
"That's great! What do I need to do to open the test field?"
[It's the next level of the Electrical Formations Repository. You still have Destiny Points available, so you might as well buy it.]
Rean pondered a bit and narrowed his eyes. Soon after, he messaged Roan and explained everything.
'So you would need to use 3000 Points to upgrade it, right?'
Rean nodded.
'Yes. I really think it is a good idea since many of our Destiny Points come from it.'
Roan began to think about the other options available, including his own Alchemy Repository. However, they already didn't have enough points for the good ones. As for his Alchemy Workshop, it's not like they use many of his Pills anyway. Sure, the Energy Gathering Pills and Cultivation Stabilizing Pills were good, but Roan won't need an upgrade to make them.
'Alright. Also, you might as well get that Blacksmith Workshop since it only costs 400 points. Our weapons depend on your Blacksmith Skills, after all.'
Rean nodded. 400 Points wasn't really that much for the two.
'Great! Let's meet outside and make the purchase.'
The two touched the Soul Gem Orb once more and accessed the Reward List.
[Soul Gem Electrical Formations Repository Upgrade Level 3 and Soul Gem Blacksmith Workshop.]
[Total Cost: 3400 Destiny Points.]
[Confirm the Purchase?]
"Yes."
As expected, Rean's Electrical Formations Repository began to shine once more. At the same time, a new building started to materialize beside the Alchemist Workshop. The twins waited outside without caring too much until the upgrades were finally concluded. As always, the system voice appeared in their minds to say that everything was over.
"Good! Let me take a look."
Roan nodded as he turned around.
"I already got my cauldron, so I'm going to Old Worm's Hut to test it out."
However, Sister Orb immediately reminded him.
[You can't! Did you forget that the tools are locked into the Workshops?]
Roan narrowed his eyes. Sister Orb did say something like that before, indeed.
"Is there no way around? This limitation is too big. Until my Alchemy Level increases to the point where Yin yang will make a huge difference, it would be much better if I can use it together with Old Worm."
[Well, you can do something like what you asked me in the past.]
Back when Rean and Roan were in the Varen Tribe, they had asked if they could bring the techniques from the Reward System to the outside world. For example, the bones improvement. Sister Orb told them that it was possible, but it would cost a lot more to share this knowledge than using themselves. Sister Orb was mentioning the same thing now.
"I see. How much would it be?
[Let me check the System.]
[Found it. The System can allow you to bring them out, but it will cost you another 1000 Destiny Point.]
Rean couldn't help but mention.
"That was a lot cheaper than I thought. The System had asked many times more the value of the first bones upgrade in the past."
[That's because the bones upgrade would make a permanent change on the people's body. Roan's Alchemy Tools will only make it easier to concoct pills. The difference is enormous.]
Roan didn't want to waste time, so he immediately asked.
"Alright. Let's go ahead with the exchange."
Rean and Roan then touched the Soul Gem Orb.
[Tools Removal Special Option.]
[Hosts' total number of items will cost 1000 Destiny Points to be released from their locks.]
[Confirm the Purchase?]
"Yes."
The buildings behind Rean and Roan immediately began to shine once again, just like in the previous upgrades. Sometime later, they came back to normal.
[Upgrade Completed.]
"Good! It will be very convenient in the future."
Sister Orb then reminded the twins.
[If you want to release other tools in the future, it will also cost more Destiny Points. Besides, the price will increase too.]
Rean and Roan were already expecting that.
"Alright. We will see if we need it again."
Rean then asked something else.
"By the way, how many Destiny Points do we have now, Sister Orb?"
[130.]
The twins couldn't help but sigh.
"14 months of accumulation gone, just like that."
"There is no helping it. At least we got what we wanted in the end. By the way, don't you want to upgrade the Blacksmith Workshop to level 2?"
Rean shook his head.
"Let's save these points since we don't know if we need to buy more save points soon."
Roan nodded and didn't insist. After that, he teleported outside of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm before heading to Old Worm's Hut. Rean, on the other hand, went straight to the Blacksmith Workshop. He already knew what the Electrical Formation would do with this last upgrade, so he preferred to see what he got in the Blacksmith Workshop first.
However, he was quite surprised by what he saw.
"This... Isn't that a Hydraulic Forging Press?!"
[Wrong! It's a Circuitry Spiritual Hydraulic Press! The control and pressure it can achieve is not something you could ever dream of doing at your current level with hammers. As the name suggests, it uses Circuitry Formations to operate the control. Last but not least, thanks to the Spiritual Materials on this side of the universe, the pressure exerted by it far surpasses any Hydraulic Presses back in your previous life.]
"Hahaha! That's extremely beneficial! I thought that the first levels of all buildings would be useless. To think that I would actually get a Hydraulic Press. I wonder if I should recreate our White and Dark Stars now that I have it. No doubt they will be a lot better than they are right now."
[That seems like a good idea. In any case, that's just the first tool. It doesn't mean you won't need hammers in the future either.]
Rean agreed with Sister Orb.
"Obviously! I was a metallurgist, remember? In any case, I'm looking forward to when I use it."
