—[ Comprehension Threshold: 1,000 / 100,000 CP ] Following the heads-up from Prime, Henri eyes landed on one of his unread system notifications. 'Before that strange sensation, the comprehension threshold was definitely lower.' ' Does this mean the higher my comprehension level, the more the succeeding threshold increases? ' Henri felt this possibility was highly plausible. [ Foolish Mortal. Do you know the gravity of what you nearly put this Venerable One through?] " Hm? what are you talking about?" Henri sounded genuinely clueless. "All I remembered was training before suddenly blanking out." "Did something happen during that time?" while posing this question, Henri's nose twitched once they registered a pleasant but unfamiliar fragrance. ' This. Where am I?' Henri tilted his chin around, failing to recognize where he was. ' The last thing I remembered was training outside. Why am I suddenly inside an unfamiliar room? ' While the walls appeared to be of outdated architec

Henri had just finished skimming through the basic info of his newly acquired System Technique when he heard Prime comment. —[ ~ By analyzing the data of the Chroma Shift Technique as well as it's backlog of variants, I broke them all into their basic blueprints, discarded the useless parts and fused the rest into a single polished technique.] "I see.." Henri was genuinely amazed. ' Thanks to Prime, I no longer need to learn the mechanics of a system technique on the fly. ' Henri couldn't help but recall his earlier experience with the Overlord Technique. Back then, the only way he managed to self-actualize the mechanics of variants like Color Purple or Color Red, purely in the heat of Combat. Henri had to admit his earlier experience was in no way fun. "In that case, can you also optimize the Overlord Technique and Abyssal Blaze Technique?" —[ ~ No.] Henri's expression changed. ' He can't or he won't? which is it? ' Henri inhaled sharply. "This Chroma Shift technique.. I mus

Once he had dinner, Henri retreated into his ridiculously large and luxurious living quarters. Slightly overwhelmed by the massive transition, Henri felt a tad bit uncomfortable once he returned back to the opulent room. "I wonder how Lizzie is going to react once she sees this." a small smirk trickled across the corner of Henri's lips. He could almost picture the shocked gasps Elizabeth would make once she laid sight of the estate. However, the smile was soon replaced by a resolute grimace. "Very soon, I'll be able to gather up the money for her operation." Henri fell into deep contemplation. The first time when Elizabeth was diagnosed with the Negative Ascies Syndrome, the doctor had recommended she undergo a procedure. Back then, the price of the procedure was a grand total of a hundred and ten million. Back then, Henri was barely in the middle of his last year as a highschool senior. Desperate for his sister's survival, he didn't hesitate to drop out from school so as t

—[ Tickets Bank]- Yellow Ticket Pass: 0- Red Ticket Pass: 0- Stat Ticket: 615- Special Stat Tickets: 4,900- Tiger Tickets: 5,000 After nearly an hour, Henri finally exhausted his stock of Ticket Passes. In addition to the stat tickets, he managed to land 174 Boxes of Ethersence Fruits, 27 Crates of Ethersence Fruits and 4 Chests of Ethersence Fruits. Compared to the Tier 2 Loots, Henri's Tier 1 drops was noticeably generous, yielding a total of 697 Boxes of Mana Fruits, 107 Crates of Mana Fruits and 16 Chests of Mana Fruits, alongside 349 vials of Mana Extract, 54 Flasks of Mana Extract and 7 Decanters of Mana Extract.—[ Inventory ] - Mana Fruits: 14,334 - Ethersence Fruits: 895 - Skill Gems: 0 - Nebula Charts: 2,000 - Nebula Diagrams: 0 - Skill Rubies: 0 - Tiger Talisman: 5,000 - Silver Galaxy Core: 1 - Red Star Core: 0 - Vial of Mana Extract: 360 - Flask of Mana Extract: 60 - Decanter of Mana Extract: 10 - Bronze Mystery Package: 5- Iron Mystery Pa

—[ System Bottleneck has been lifted!]—[ Player can now experience level-ups!] Siii Henri inhaled sharply. At that moment, the temporal zone created from the Incense of Snail's Breath slowly dispersed. Once it did, the cyan blue censer that previously floated above the tiles, helplessly plummeted down. —[ Cartographer's Draft Inventory]... - Incense of Snail's Breath: 988- Azure Ember Stick: 1,000- Snow Haunt-Cipher: 330- Saffron Ember Stick: 232- Verdant Haunt-Cipher: 5- Vermillion Ember Stick: 0... —[ Comprehension Threshold: 2,800 / 100,000 CP ] "It took me over ten hours to consume all thirty of the vermilion ember sticks?" Henri cast a glance towards the now empty censers that were placed on the ground around him. "Hm?" his finger unconsciously touched the lower part of his nose. "I'm bleeding?" Feeling the wet sensation against his finger, he brought it closer to his face. He exhaled helplessly upon making eye contact with his bloodstained finger. "I guess si
