“Ding, chat group system prompt, Firekeeper has sent a Dark Souls upgrade red envelope to Zheng Le!”
“Ding, chat group system prompt, Zheng Le has received the red envelope!”
As these two group prompts appeared, a new energy surged within Zheng Le. The moment it touched his body, it transformed into a virtual panel with an upgrade button on it.
Without hesitation, Zheng Le pressed the upgrade + button and added the extra points to Vitality.
In an instant, Zheng Le felt a surge of heat coursing through his body, increasing the strength of his flesh!
Focusing back on the panel, he noticed that as Vitality increased, Endurance, Stamina, Agility, and other stats also saw slight improvements.
From this, Zheng Le realized that the real Dark Souls 3 world's Ashen One upgrade and stat allocation system was slightly different from the game world!
In the game, leveling up Vitality only increased health, represented by the health bar.
It couldn't boost Endurance, Stamina, or physical attributes!
However, in the real Dark Souls 3 world, gaining a level and adding points to Vitality would also boost other physical attributes!
Moreover, Zheng Le noticed a peculiar detail.
On the stat panel, his Intelligence was displayed as gibberish!?
Could it be that his wisdom had reached its peak, beyond the capacity of the Dark Souls panel to display it?
Impossible!
Zheng Le quickly dismissed the thought, then remembered that in the Dark Souls game, Intelligence was related to the blue bar, representing FP (Focus Points).
However, within his body, he currently possessed an abundance of energy from various other extraordinary systems:
Such as the Void Path from Honkai: Star Rail, the Elemental Force from Teyvat, the Angelic Divine Energy, Chakra, Byakugan Bloodline Limit, and so on.
With such a chaotic mix of energy systems, perhaps that's why the Dark Souls panel couldn't display his Intelligence accurately!
Coming to this realization, Zheng Le focused his attention back on the upgrade button and noticed that the + symbol was still blinking!
Meaning, he could continue upgrading?!
Zheng Le shifted his thoughts and clicked the upgrade button nine times consecutively.
The + symbol on the panel finally stopped blinking.
Zheng Le's level reached ten. Without any hesitation, he allocated all nine stat points to Vitality.
In that instant, Zheng Le's previously unremarkable physique underwent a transformation, revealing large muscles!
His biceps bulged on both arms!
Eight-pack abs emerged, along with defined obliques.
Two massive pecs appeared on his chest.
The muscles on his back became denser, exhibiting a clear bat-like shape!
...
Dark Souls Panel:
Level ten!
Merely leveling up to ten and adding ten points to Vitality brought a drastic transformation to my physique.
Even if I were to participate in the Olympic Games organized by various countries on Blue Star, assuming there's no foul play, I could win any sport!
Imagine reaching level forty and boosting Vitality to forty! At that point, my body would be transformed into a superhuman physique!
Thankfully, I have the Sacred Ether Device capable of capturing large numbers of ghosts, making level-ups a relatively easy task!
Thinking this, a faint smile graced Zheng Le's lips.
Then, Zheng Le focused his thoughts back on the chat group: "@Firekeeper, the Dark Souls stat allocation is truly effective. The soul energy converted from the ghosts captured by the Sacred Ether program running for an hour has allowed me to quickly level up to ten, increasing Vitality to ten. My physique has undergone a drastic change, surpassing the realm of ordinary humans!
"Now, even without utilizing extraordinary energies, I could engage in a direct fight against Captain America from the Marvel universe!"
On the bonfire of the Firelink Shrine, the Firekeeper, with her exquisite and cold features, curled her lips into a slight smile and said, "It's good that it's compatible with upgrades. However, Ashen One (Zheng Le), I need to inform you that the amount of souls required to level up increases exponentially as you progress!"
Zheng Le laughed, "Don't worry, my Blue Star world has plenty of ghosts! Right now, there are hundreds of thousands of malicious spirits waiting for me to capture in the entire West City!
"Even if the ghosts in West City aren't enough, I can design a new, larger Sacred Ether program to capture more!"
In Honkai: Star Rail, Silver Wolf, witnessing Zheng Le's message, revealed an envious expression, "Sigh, my planet is just a cyber world, there are no ghosts at all... Soul harvesting is simply impossible. When will the Star Core Hunter arrive? I'm already eager to embark on my cosmic adventure and hunt for Star Cores!!"
Traveler Lumine: "Your adventure hasn't begun, but mine has! Haha!"
“Ding, chat group system prompt, Traveler Lumine has uploaded a picture of secretly observing Venti and Stormterror interacting in the wild!”
Gabriel: "So the Genshin Impact opening storyline has begun?"
Traveler Lumine: "Yes, I spent the morning following Paimon to Mondstadt, and we ran into this dragon and god on the way!"
Traveler Lumine: "Speaking of, Gabriel, aren't you going to sleep?"
Gabriel: "What's sleep?"
Traveler Lumine: "Aren't you afraid of sudden death?"
Gabriel: "It's fine if I die. I'll just run back down from Heaven's Rebirth Pool and play games again!"
Traveler Lumine: "???"
Silver Wolf: "???"
Zheng Le: "???"
Everyone in the group was stunned by Gabriel's statement. Then, they saw Gabriel's message: "You guys know, in my world, when creatures die, they choose to go to hell or heaven!
"And I'm an angel, an honor student who ranked first in Angel Academy. Naturally, I'll go to heaven when I die! Then, I'll just run back down from the Heavenly Realm."
Traveler Lumine: "That's absurd!"
Silver Wolf: "That's absurd!"
Zheng Le: "That's absurd!"
Aqua from the God Realm, who had just woken up from sleep, saw Gabriel's message and expressed her admiration with a series of exclamations, "As expected of Gabriel God!"
Traveler Lumine: "Wait, things aren't looking good on my end!"
Zheng Le asked in confusion, "Aren't you going through the first act of Stormterror's storyline? I remember there shouldn't be any danger!"
Silver Wolf: "Yeah, there shouldn't be any danger!"
Traveler Lumine: "I don't know what happened, but Stormterror Dvalin suddenly went berserk! Just now, even Venti, the Anemo Archon, was knocked away by his tail!"
Aqua: "Ah, this Anemo Archon is so weak!"
Gabriel: "Is the drunkard still hungover?"
Traveler Lumine: "Please, Venti being knocked away isn't the most crucial part, the most important thing is that Dvalin flapped his wings, blowing away all the trees I was using for cover. Plus, Paimon keeps pulling my hair! It hurts so much!!"
Traveler Lumine: "Oh no, Dvalin has spotted me! Paimon is even crying from fear!!"
