Chapter 242: Loaded

[Stamina Conversion: This skill seamlessly melds stamina with the host consciousness, it operates on a ratio, converting 20 stamina points into 1 mind power.
[With each level gained, the conversion becomes even more efficient, diminishing the ratio by 0.05 points.]

"Wow, this thing is absolutely awesome," I exclaimed silently in my mind. Stamina Fusion proved to be very useful skill for energy management.
Despite having meditation in my arsenal, it comes with a catch—I can't utilize it while tapping into my powers.
So, I often find myself needing to take breaks.
Now, if I ever need to recharge my Mind Power urgently during a fight, I can just tap into Stamina Conversion, ensuring I stay at the top of my game without missing a beat.
"Looks like I'm leveling up to 'Overpowered' status," I mused, absentmindedly scratching my nose. Playing it lowkey and waiting for the benefits to roll in turned out to be the right move. If I'd acted on impulse, I might be six feet under by now.
To be honest, I had seriously underestimated my Neurolink System. Who declared it weak compared to those flashy fictional systems in novels? They're like the sidekicks to my system once it hits its full potential.
'Move over, fictional characters; my Neurolink is here to show you how it's done – and it doesn't even need a plot armor. '
But enough with the jokes. I got back to concentrating on my status. I could badmouth other systems later.
[Strength 10 — > 20]

[Congratulations, Host, for reaching 20 Points in Strength.]

[Bio-Energetic Amplification: Harnessing the body's bioenergy, host can amplify your strength by tapping into your own life force, pushing your physical abilities to supernatural levels for 10 minutes.]
[+5% increase in strength per level]

'Another buff skill?' I muttered to myself I don't really use my strength that much so maybe I could try fusing this with Stamina fusion. I still have that fragment to increase my success rate after all.
[Bio-Energetic Amplification: + Stamina Fusion]
[Fragments +1]
[95% chance +20%]
'Whoa, the fragments now display the odds. Must be because of my upgraded Mind Eye,' I thought, surprised as more info popped up when I used a fragment.
"I guess these two skills are already a good match, so using the fragment would be a waste," I figured, putting the fragment aside. I'll save it for later when I need a more important upgrade.
[Skill Combination...]

[Bio-Energetic Fusion: Harnessing the body bioenergy, host can amplify your Mind Power by sacrificing Strength and Stamina 10:1 ratio]

It looked like the system stopped adjusting the reward rate for certain skills, probably because the initial cost to upgrade them was already insanely high. But, this turned out to be a good thing. I'd take back all the praise I gave my system if it meant shelling out 1000 skill points just to max out one skill.
'Now time to go crazy with my skill points!'
<Bio Energetic Fusion Level 60> [7:1]
<Bio Energetic Fusion Level 80> [6:1]
<Bio Energetic Fusion Level 100> [5:1]
[System: MAX]
'I know it, my skill maxes out at 100, and maybe I need to upgrade the system first to go beyond that. But for now, it's cool. With 20 stamina and 20 strengths, I can instantly recharge my Mind Power by 8. The reduced cooldown was also a great bonus. '
'Now, for the grand finale,' I grinned widely. I didn't just boost my basic attributes randomly.
Whenever all my attributes reach a certain point, I get a lucky draw on the last attribute I upgraded.
Last time, I got Mind Link, which was my most used skill, so I saved the best for last: Agility. No matter how strong I am, an attribute that focuses on speed should help me. If I get lucky, maybe I'll unlock the same ability as Rei Mei. That speed was pretty OP.
[Agility 11 —> 20]
[Congratulations, Host, for reaching 20 Points in Agility.]
[Congratulations, Host, upgrading all Basic Stats to 20: Increase Chance to Get Rare Skill]
[Congratulations, Host, upgrading Mind Power to 10: Increase Chance to Get Super Rare Skill]
[Congratulations, Host for having a skill at level 100: Increase Chance to Get legendary Skill]
[ Random Legendary Skill.]

[Teleportation: With the power of telekinesis, host transcend mere object manipulation. This extraordinary ability allows host to mentally seize hold of space, people or things and seamlessly transport them across distances, defying conventional limitations. ]
[Cost 2 Mind power per meter]
[Upgrades: -0.01 Mind Power cost per level]
"A... Am I god now?" I sat on my bed, shocked by the description of my new skill. I thought I'd get something, like sonic speed, but the system handed me a godlike ability.
The upgrade cost a lot, but the benefits were huge. Now, I could escape in a blink if I ever faced someone too tough to handle. On the flip side, if I felt confident enough, I could catch them off guard and take them down in one shot. This skill was a game-changer.
It might seem costly to use now, but as I keep boosting my Mind Power and leveling up the skill, it would become way more effective.
<Teleportation Level 1 >
<Teleportation Level 20>
<Teleportation Level 40>
Same as before, the rate stayed the same, so I kept upgrading it. My skill points dropped so fast, it felt like pouring water into an empty lake. Regardless, I know this skill would come in handy.
I've got this gut feeling that the system was gearing me up for something huge. My frugal system wouldn't boost my power so rapidly for no reason, after all.
<Teleportation Level 100 > [1 Mind Power per Meter]
'It feels awesome to be rich,' I chuckled to myself after leveling up my skills all at once. It tempted me to take down another criminal group.
'Now, let's invest in my other skills,'
My Mind Link was strong enough for the time being, so there was no need to upgrade it. I should focus more on skills that could help me against other Gifted.
