Xiaomao’s status attributes improved after he absorbed 100 spirit stones at once. At the price of his growth, all precious stones crumbled into dust.

He calculated the potential cash that he had used just now. Had he sold it in the game’s auction house, he could have gotten at least 200 million dollars, yet Xiaomao had no regrets.

Unfortunately, not all good things came for free. There was a price to pay for taking a shortcut.

<You have reached the maximum consumption of permanent booster items today.>

<You can no longer use any spirit stone for 24 hours.>

In this game, a character could only use a limited amount of spirit stone per day, depending on their character’s rarity.

A free character could not use spirit stones. A common-grade character could use one stone per day, an uncommon-grade character could use five, rare could use ten, super-rare could use 20, ultra-rare could use 50, and a legendary character could use 100 stones per day.

This was the disparity and the perks of having a better character. The gaps between players continued to widen as time passed.

For now, the gaps were close as the third world’s storyline of Pangu Church was inactive, and most players only paid attention to events in the second and the first world, where top players gathered.

Secondly, spirit stones were the weakest booster stones in the game. There were better items, such as essence cores, monster cores, soul stones, and dao stones that could increase more stats, Qi, and EXP.

Xiaomao checked the amount of EXP that was required to reach the next level. It now demanded 34 million EXP, which was a lot.

He glanced at Shepherd’s level. It was 100, which was the maximum level of an uncommon-grade character. Noticing that Shepherd secretly farmed and increased his level, Xiaomao compared their status.

Shepherd was weaker than Xiaomao as the former didn’t use that many spirit stones. However, the requirement for his next level was a lot lower. To reach level 101, he only needed 3.6 million EXP!

Comparing EXP requirements depressed Xiaomao. He examined the dantian menu next, which was the newest thing. He had heard of this magical dantian menu from the forums. Xiaomao was excited to see how it worked.

The dantian tap appeared in his status menu. Xiaomao pressed it.

A new menu showed up. A tutorial pop-up taught Xiaomao what Qi and a cultivator’s power were.

.

Qi Status Attribute

Ever since ancient times, Qi is the source of all lives. Nowadays, cultivators gather Qi to enhance their physique and internal energies, hoping to rely on them to become immortals.

Qi is a unique attribute that works similarly to mana. Some skills or spells may require Qi to display their full potential, and many unique abilities demanded a high amount of Qi to activate. Your combat stats also improve if you have a high amount of Qi.

Effect:

– Increase one point in Attack, Magic Attack, Defense, and Magic Defense for every 100 Qi Attribute.

– Increase Max HP and Max MP by 1 point for every 10 Qi Attribute.

– Increase Max Qi by 1 point per Qi Attribute.

.

Xiaomao was satisfied. This attribute was the reason why his max HP and MP increased a lot. Originally, his max HP was 4100ish, but it was now over 7,000.

He was confident that level-100 monsters could not one-shot him now!

In addition, Xiaomao’s [Essence of Life] could convert all his available Qi and turn them into permanent stats once a day. He had 10,000 Max Qi, which could be restored like mana. Thus, he could use this skill to get 10 free attributes or spiritual roots every day!

That was the true potential of a Legendary+ add-on skill – A truly Pay-2-Win skill!

Xiaomao took a deep breath to calm down. He explored the dantian menu to see the other details next. As he had expected, the bread-and-butter perk was still here.

On the menu screen, it showed the image of a meditating Taoist. Six icons of spiritual roots floated around him, which represented the roots of Xiaomao.

In the menu, three buttons lined up under the image of a cultivator – Cultivate, Breakthrough, and Dao. However, all three buttons were disabled.

DING

<Please find a master to learn the basic cultivator’s skills and unlock the [Cultivate] feature.>

<Please unlock the [Cultivate] feature and have at least 2,000 points in a spiritual root to unlock the [Breakthrough] feature.>

<Please increase your level to 1,000 to unlock the [Dao] feature.>

Aside from the [Cultivate] perk, the other features were for the mid-late game contents. Xiaomao and cultivator-class players couldn’t use these perks yet.

As Xiaomao couldn’t cultivate, he was disappointed. He closed the game menus and turned to his subordinates.

“Alright. I’ll sort and distribute items to you guys, munya.”

Xiaomao returned his attention to the items on the deck.

Meanwhile, Lucky got addicted to the skill effect of a book. She sat next to Xiaomao, waiting for him to give her another book. Although she couldn’t read a single word, the books magically gave her abilities. Thus, she wanted more of those.

Shepherd also had the same idea as he was interested in some of the historical records. He also eyed at an encyclopedia of deep-sea fishes.

Xiaomao finally distributed books and potions to his subordinates. Lucky got some useful abnormal status resistance books while Shepherd took all historical records to read. As for Xiaomao, he only took class books that could unlock new jobs and skills.

Because of the improved status and level, Xiaomao gained extra room to add new classes and jobs to his character. Moreover, the mage jobs merged into one, which freed a lot of room. Xiaomao used the alchemy book and obtained the novice alchemy job and the novice herbalist job.

Next, Xiaomao gave Shepherd and Lucky a 1,000-liter tank of mana potion each. He still kept the Mazinger Poison and two more tanks of mana potions for his future usage.

Everybody was cheerful and happy. Now that they got books and potions as rewards, they were looking forward to reading them.

As the group neglected the ship, Magdalene complained.

<Magdalene wants you to pay attention to the ship.>

“…”

Shepherd pouted and walked to the helm. He glanced at the sail and checked the wind direction. Then, he turned the wheel, bringing the frigate to the right course.

The black pirate ship peacefully sailed around the northwest peninsula. The open sea was in front of them, but the ship soon turned south, leaving the northwest area.

.

By being on the ship for a long time, Xiaomao and others lost the sense of time. Within two hours, Lucky stopped reading books as they got seasick.

When they got nothing to do, they began to get bored. They stared at the sea and the distant shore with dull eyes, inwardly praying for something to happen.

Xiaomao thought of whales to hunt. Shepherd thought of the rescued retainers, and Lucky wondered how she would seduce Xiaomao to mate with her during the mating season. As for Magdalene, she wished that something would show up to give everybody some EXP.

ZAAAA

As if the gods answered Magdalene’s prayer, 10 black cog ships appeared out of nowhere, jumping out of the underwater as if they were dolphins. They formed a circle formation, surrounding Wellerboy from all sides and lining their broadside cannons.

Torrent, the undead pirate king, and his 1,000 skeleton crewmates were on the ships. Their green flame eyeballs glared at their former frigate in frustration and anger.

KAKAKAKA (YOU CAN’T ESCAPE, REGRESSOR! YOU CAN’T ALSO STEAL MY SHIP!)
