The Soul System in the Apocalypse-Chapter 481: Mysteries of the Next Rank

[What the host requires in order to help Alicia to recover the damaged consciousness is the consciousness restoration pill.]

The system responded immediately. Henry did not waste much time and immediately searched for the pill that the system had mentioned. And not long after, he managed to find it.

But when he looked at the price of the item, he could not help but frown. At the same time, he felt like cursing at the system.

[Consciousness Restoration pill: the pill is capable of restoring damaged consciousness to its peak. Price: ????]

The explanation about the consciousness restoration pill was not that long. In any case, Henry could immediately understand the description and the function of the pill just from the name. But what he was dumbfounded about was the fact that there was no price that was stated other than the question marks.

’System, why is it that the price of the pill is not stated? Am I supposed to be guessing the price, or am I the one supposed to decide the price of the pill?’ Henry asked with a frown on his face.

[Responding to the host. The price of the pill is actually present, and the only reason why the host cannot see the price is simply because the power level of the host is currently low. If the host wills to see the cost of the pill, the host has to reach the next level after the platinum rank.]

Hearing the system’s response, Henry could not help but feel that all of this was actually unnecessary. What the heck was this about him having to reach the next level for him to be able to see the price? What was there for him if he actually saw the price at this moment?

But thinking about breaking through and reaching the next level, it seemed that there was only a single level that existed between him and the next rank. Thinking about it, Henry decided that if it was just about breaking through and reaching the next rank, he was going to do so. But of course, he had to deal with something else first.

Henry went ahead and searched for the binding contract. The moment that he found it, he was relieved considering that the price of the item was displayed this time.

[Binding Contract: as long as a person signs the contract, all the conditions stated within the contract have to be fulfilled. Whoever goes against the contract will immediately face the punishment stated within the contract. The contract can be nullified as long as both sides agree on it to be nullified. Otherwise, if someone tries to forcefully break the contract, the punishment is death. The level of the contract dictates the level of the person that can be bound by the contract. Price: 1 level 1 platinum rank – 1 level 9 ???]

It seemed that he could afford the contract considering that the price of the contract started at one level 1 platinum rank mutation crystal. As for the other one which was filled with question marks, Henry believed that it was kind of related to the future ranks after the platinum rank.

’System, what level of contract can bind Klaus?’ Henry asked as he continued to scroll through the items within the system store. At this moment, he had realized that several items within the system store did not have any price stated, only filled with question marks.

[For Klaus, the contract that can bind him is the one that can be purchased with 1 mutation crystal of the same level as himself. The same is applied to everybody else, regardless of the race.]

Henry was quite relieved. At least he was not supposed to purchase a contract at an expensive price. But even then, there was one thing that he was concerned about. That was the fact that it might be true that Klaus was currently at level 4 of the Platinum rank, but even then, who said that he was going to remain in that power rank all of his life?

With the way that the apocalypse was working, it was clear that the members of the other races were being boosted, and the way that their strength increased was definitely different from the way that the humans managed to improve their strength.

Currently, Henry had already collected several mutation crystals ranging from level 5 Platinum rank to level 9 of the platinum rank. He immediately decided to convert a level 5 platinum rank mutation crystal, giving him 100 level 4 platinum rank mutation crystals.

Then he went ahead and purchased the binding contract. Immediately after that, he disappeared from the dungeon, and appeared several kilometers away from the dungeon, inside the territory that was located in Hillstown.

The moment that he appeared there, he immediately utilized the feature of the territory that allowed him to move between territories, and he once again appeared within Crystal city. Of course, he appeared at the outskirts of the territory, and nobody noticed his presence at all.

The moment that he appeared in Crystal city, he utilized the space element and teleported away again. He only appeared after about 10 minutes, before he teleported back to the territory in Hillstown.

The moment that he got back to the territory, he once again teleported outside of the dungeon. The moment that he appeared there, those that were present at that time were also a little surprised seeing him appearing there. They thought that he had come out of the dungeon, considering that he had been inside the dungeon for quite a while now. frёewebηovel.cѳm

But they were left speechless the moment that they realized that Henry was actually going into the dungeon again. At that moment, they could not help but ask themselves, why was it that Henry had come out of the dungeon anyway? Was he just trying to tease them? After all, each and every one of them was trying to get a chance of entering into the dungeon. The longer they stayed within, the better.

Henry did not care about what they thought about him, but instead, the moment that he got back into the dungeon, he did not go to the higher level, but instead, he was brought to the level where the platinum rank monsters could be found.

After arriving here, Henry decided to focus on the new features of the system first. The changes that had occurred to the system were definitely not just the changes that had occurred in terms of the interface, but instead, some other things had also been changed or improved.

For example, the time that he could spend within the system space had been increased from 2 hours to 5 hours. This was a good thing considering that Henry could go inside and practice flying and so on. After all, if he met with a veteran platinum rank mutant warrior or apocalyptic creature, he would definitely be having trouble fighting that person in the air.

But with 5 seconds being converted into 5 hours, it was definitely easy for him to be able to adapt. Additionally, he was having 5 hours within the system where he could simulate any situation, giving him quite a chance of gaining combat experience.

Leaving that aside, there was another thing that had improved, and that was the mastery ability. Currently, it had reached the advanced level. Then, the basic creation skill on the other hand had also improved from the beginner, and it was now known as intermediate creation skill.

Nothing much had changed about this function of the system, with the limit of the number of items that he could create reaching 20. Of course, the complexity of the items that he could create had also been increased.

Basically, the system store had been upgraded to the next level, which was a level 3 system store. The only thing that he did not like about the system store was the fact that he could not see the price of several items that seemed quite overpowered.

Then again, there was something else that had been added. That was the identification function of the system. This was an ability to be able to identify information about an object or a living being.

The moment that this function was added to the system, it was actually immediately integrated with the basic identification skill that was possessed by all the humans as long as they reached the bronze rank.

Henry had not tried out this function the moment that it was upgraded, but he believed that it definitely was going to be able to enable him to see more information. As for those that were utilizing items to hide their information, he believed that he was definitely going to be able to say it anyway.

Leaving all that aside, Henry simply decided to try and level up. Since it was now impossible for him to be able to help Alicia, it was better for him to simply try and level up, so that he could see the price of the consciousness restoration pill.

So without hesitation, just like the previous time, he immediately began looking for monsters and killing them left and right. For the second time, the spawned monsters within the dungeon actually began experiencing trouble.

Henry was like a lunatic that did not want to see any monster existing within this level of the dungeon. For that reason, regardless of the level of the monster that was spotted by Henry, it would be immediately killed off.

At the same time as Henry began killing monsters within the dungeon, something else was happening in the same world. But of course, it was not something that favored him and the other humans. Maybe the other races would be affected as well?
