Kyle tried to focus on activating the necklace, which suddenly did the trick. The same green aura enveloped his body, healing him by a tiny amount. Kyle noticed that it originated directly from the necklace rather than his own body.
It seems to be using its own internal energy rather than any arcia energy within me, just like the message said.
It, however, did not do anything to alleviate the exhaustion his muscles felt. Kyle surmised that being tired was not considered health damage and could not be healed.
This will be a problem; I will need to learn more about how this holographic statistics interface works.
He inspected the statistics in front of him, his attention drawn to what seemed to be his body’s parameters in terms of strength, dexterity, intelligence, and so on.
How do the statistics work?
He noticed that he had a few free points, recalling a message about “Bonus Free Points” being allocated to him, thanks to the level up. To figure out how the stats worked, he decided to perform a small test.
The easiest one to test now would be strength.
Kyle got up from his chair and attempted to lift the bedframe of Ulon’s luxurious bed, his arms straining.
Assuming the statistics scale linearly, let’s increase strength by half. I should then theoretically get a fifty percent boost in strength.
Information: Free points allocated.
+20 STR
He tried to lift the bed frame again, expecting to be able to do it with ease given the linear boost. However, he could still barely move it himself, though he could tell he was struggling less, albeit a tiny bit.
Seems like the statistics’ scaling is not linear.
It would be difficult to prove the equation on which the statistics worked without an accurate strength meter. Kyle could not begin to fathom how to even measure intelligence without a Galactic Era Council-approved diagnosis.
He also noted how simple it was to have free points allocated, with almost no implementation delay to his body.
Could be useful in a tight situation-I’ll save the rest for now.
Kyle explored other features of the holographic interface, especially interested in the description of items that he touched. He tried touching a few items around, such as the chair that he was sitting on, hoping to obtain a message. However, no intrusive purple message appeared. Kyle concluded that it did not work on mundane objects.
He did not know if other humans had the same interface, but given the fact that it displayed every single piece of information-both past and present of the individual-Kyle knew better than to reveal such detail to those around him. Especially when he’d only been the leader for a day.
I will not let myself be betrayed again, that is for sure.
Kyle dragged himself out of the room, assuming the strong and stern posture again, before returning to the main office. A crime lord must always espouse and demonstrate strength, dominance, and competency, even when running a small-time gang.
The broken table had been replaced with another basic table. Atop was the same parchment with the map of Raktor, the bloodstains of Ulon cleaned up. Damian was already waiting for him in the office.
“Can you read and write?” Kyle asked as he walked toward the desk and sat down.
“Um, yes, but if you’re looking for dictation writing or proper calculations, my younger brother can do much better than I can.”
“Fetch him.”
Damian soon returned with a young kid barely eighteen years old. “He’s Keith.”
