Chapter 168: Lecturing The Newbie, And The Freebie

"Hmm"

Hudson read the report, but was unable to understand most of the information. As a complete stranger to the system, he was seeing a personal panel for the first time. He scratched his head, after not having a clue of what most meant.

"D, please brief me."

Lee said in a low voice as he kept staring at the display. His eyes did not move from the focus when he spoke. Dnekewy nodded at his request, and started to speak-

"As you can see, your full name is visible. Your race, which is unidentifiable after the reconstruction, is left blank. It is not a necessary thing to have it named. And for a 20 years old, you are abnormally tall and fit."

D scanned him whole and took his gaze back to the display. Lee had a blank expression on his face, which signified 'you know how I got this, right?'.

"The twenty billion Essence is a complement from the system. It is way more than the accumulated amount of Essence when the system was offline. The Will of the Dimension hopes you to put it for good use.

A few gold and silver coins were used to create the physical form of the True Heart, but the amount of copper stayed untouched. Since you have a lot of gold, the amount taken from it barely makes any difference.

Let us step into the attributes. The older ones have been put to modification or merging while one or two still retain their originality. The present attributes are Health, Power, Stamina, Guard, Dexterity, Perception, Intelligence and Resolve.

Health is your physical fitness. It is the foundation on which everything related to your being is positioned. The fitness is affected by sedatives, poison and other variables. Curses can permanently lessen your health value. A healthy newborn has a health value of 7 or 8, and goes to a maximum of 10. An average adult has a value ranging from 84 to 100. It also varies according to the race.

Power is the amount of force you exert. To further describe it in detail, it is the amount of force that your prominently used arm can deliver without even the slightest discomfort. The values are expressed in Newton, and 1 value means one newton of force. The value of power for infants are negligible less, but it can greatly vary from individual to individual, when considering adults.

Stamina is the polished version of endurance, and it does show your limit of endurance. It directly speaks about physical tolerance to pain and discomfort. The vitality is merged to this attribute, and also shows the amount of energy you have to conduct an active deed.

Guard is the measure of defense you have. It conveys the physical resistance to abrasion, scratch and other variables that can make you bleed. A higher guard means a higher defense. For an average human, it is somewhere right below 40, and it varies with race. Your current value can be related to orcs.

Dexterity is the amalgamation of both top speed and acceleration. It simply points out your agility in 'metres per second' unit. This also includes your reflexes and sensory reaction to changes in the surroundings. Each single unit increase in the Dexterity is increasing your speed by one metre per second. An average human has a value ranging from 33 to 47. Also, varies with your race.

Perception is your extent of detection and sensory reception from the surroundings. The value of perception is the maximum diameter of the circle of detection around you, where your eyes, ears, nose and skin can reach and actively detect changes in the environment. At least three among the four aforementioned must be able to reach a distance, to claim it as your sphere of detection. You can divide the value by two, and use the received value, as the value of radius so as to know the circumference of the circle.

Intelligence is not largely different from before. It is the ability of comprehension. It simply means how well you can digest the facts and figures, without being a d**k and freaking out. For someone of human figure, your Intelligence value is high. But it is not constant. The value is the highest amount of intelligence the person can exhibit at his/her current state. So there is always a chance that even you can be a pitiful toddler. Remember, a higher intelligent opponent means you are possibly in deep trouble!

Resolve is a purely mental attribute. It denotes the amount of resistance you can put forward to resist from going insane. A higher amount of Resolve directly means that your mental fortitude is high as well. It is also the measure of your self-awareness, understanding of your position in the multi-dimensional world. Like Intelligence, it is not constant at all times. Circumstances and variables of different kinds can make your mental resilience waver, and possibly crumble. Be at ease, but keep your mind loaded."

D took a break and glanced over his shoulder. He saw Lee skimming through the data and his face reflecting his calculations. D unconsciously scanned Hudson, who was also staring at the attribute panel. His eyes were sparkling from the elaborated explanation of D, and was eager to see his own attributes. D read his thoughts clear as sky, on his face, and turned around to explain further.

"From here on, the details displayed through appraising people are limited to their name, race, age, and attributes like health, power, dexterity and intelligence. I have deduced that displaying too much information would make you lazy."

Lee nodded to the words, as he continued to stare at the attribute panel. After a couple of seconds, Lee had formulated D's words and the visible display into a meaningful array of words in his mind.

"One of the major achievements through upgrading was related to Qi cultivation and Mana mastery. Have I not told you about the Pzys and Egos, which are brought up through cultivation and mastery respectively?"

Lee nodded and replied-

"Yes. I remember them."

"Well then, forget about them. You don't need such time-consuming and petty tasks anymore!"
