Chapter 217 Rewards for Upgrading the System

‘Finally, the upgrade is completed. Time to check for the changes and new things available in the system.’

For the last five days, Leo was focused entirely on the goals he had set for himself and slowly completing them one by one.

However, he didn’t forget about the system upgrade as he was curious about waiting for it.

‘Ding,

The system has been successfully upgraded.

‘Ding,

Since the host has given up on upgrading to the supreme rank and chose to upgrade the system, the system will thank the host with the following items.

‘Ding,

1) One special upgrade stone.

2) One beast evolution crystal.

3) 10 percent potential increase for any level 9 talent.

4) 50 percent potential increase for any level 8 talent.

5) 100 percent potential increase for any level 7 talent.

Before Leo could check the changes in the system after the upgrade, he received a series of system notifications that pleasantly surprised him.

Like before, the system gained him some rewards for upgrading it; however, compared to the past, the rewards these times were very generous as the system gave him five rewards in a single go.

‘After the upgrade, the system has become very generous.’

Leo commented on the system before checking for the changes in system 3.0.

As for rewards, Leo knew the usage of everything, so he didn’t bother to check them as he was more interested in the changes in the system.

‘System, give me the brief information on the changes that came with the upgrade.’

Since the system had completed its upgrade, Leo could directly ask it to do things for him.

Therefore, he asked the system to brief him about the changes in the system.

‘Ding,

The cooldown for the [Talent swallowing ability] has been reduced to one month.

‘Ding,

The [Talent Swallowing Ability] has been upgraded from level 2 to level 4.

‘Ding,

The [Talent Merging Ability] has been upgraded. The host can now merge two different talents into a single talent.

Note: However, it is better to have the same level as the chances of failure while merging the different talents or skills are also increased.

After receiving Leo’s order, the system informed the changes in the host’s three system abilities, making Leo excited.

‘Only one month? Excellent.’

Leo was expecting the cooldown to reduce to three months; however, it was reduced to one month, making him pleasantly surprised.

‘However, what pleasantly surprised him was the double upgrade in the [Talent Swallowing Ability]. With level 4 [Talent Swallowing Abilitiy], I can try helping the humans of this world.’

Leo didn’t forget about the humans that someone enslaved in this world.

Since his [Talent Swallowing Ability] was only at level 2, Leo didn’t dare to rush things as he waited for the system to finish its upgrade because he was expecting an upgrade in the system abilities.

Therefore, he was slightly excited when he saw that [Talent Swallowing Ability] was upgraded to level 4.

‘As for the [Talent Merging Ability]’s upgrade, it is also not bad as I can now merge the talents and skills regardless of their elements or effects.’

Even though the failure rate was high, Leo was more than willing to merge them because the effects of a merged talent or a skill were more powerful than the two individual skills or talents.

‘Is there any new ability I can get this time?’

After thinking for a moment, Leo asked for a new ability.

Previously, when he upgraded the system, he was not only rewarded with a new system feature but also with a choice to pick one of the three system abilities.

That’s how Leo gained the [Talent Swallowing Ability]. Therefore, Leo could not help but ask the system about it.

‘Ding,

The host will be allowed to pick an ability from the below list.

‘Ding,

1) Talent Blessing Ability: The host can bless one of his talents to his friends or followers.

2) True pill swallower: The host will receive twice the effects of the pills he swallowed.

3) Bloodline swallowing ability: The host can swallow the bloodlines from the enemies.

Note: All these abilities have various limitations, which would only be shown after the host picks one of the abilities.

As soon as Leo asked the system about the new ability, the system showed him three abilities and asked him to pick one.

‘In the place of the [Talent Swallowing Ability], there is a new ability.’

The list of the abilities was the same; however, a new ability had appeared in the place of the ability he picked previously.

‘With that ability, I can give my talents to others. It was a very useful ability to have as I can increase the battle prowess of my friends and followers.’

Leo was a little surprised to learn that he could give his talents to others.

‘However, there is some problem.’

After reading the note at the end of the holographic screen, Leo thought of a problem.

Except for the [True Pill Swallower], the other two abilities’ limitations made Leo hesitate to choose between them.

Even though the [True Pill Swallower] seemed useful, Leo felt the other two were more useful. Still, without the information on the limitations of those two abilities, Leo was not sure which ability was the best.

‘Wait a second…why am I thinking too much?’

Suddenly, Leo realized something and hurriedly chose, ‘I will choose [Talent Blessing Abiliity].’

Since the day for the assessment of his world was getting nearer, Leo needed to increase the battle prowess of his friends and family. Therefore he chose it over the [Bloodline Swallowing Ability].

‘Even though I don’t know what type of limitations it has, I hope it can help me increase the battle prowess of my friends and family.’

Leo silently hoped as he waited for the system to add this new ability to his [User Interface].

‘Ding,

A new ability, the [Talent Blessing Ability], has been added to the host’s [User Interface]. Please check more information in the [User Interface].

‘Let’s see what its limitations are.’

Without wasting any time, Leo checked the full information on the [Talent Blessing Ability].

‘Ding,
