System vs Rebirth Chapter 167 Reward (2)

Chapter 167 Reward (2)

"Such a strong fire. The Undying Fire has five stages. The first stage is the natural awakening of the Undying Fire. It'll have the ability to burn my own body in a good way such as fat and other stuff that will weaken me. With this, I can expect that the fire will improve my physical ability by at least ten percent. This alone is enough to make a great improvement since its effect far surpa.s.ses all the training I have done.

"That's why Ardagan offered this option when I wanted to remove the spore from my body. It believed that the spore was something that would weaken my body. In other words, poison and the like wouldn't be able to affect my body as well. I don't know to what extent, but the fact that I get some poison resistance or even immunity is very good. I don't need to fear a.s.sa.s.sination attempt or adventure related to poison.

"I don't know about the second stage, but the fact that this fire has such powerful ability from the first stage alone is enough to make me antic.i.p.ate the next four stages." Noel smirked excitedly.

However, the Undying Fire didn't come without a weakness. There was one big weakness that Noel couldn't unsee.

Skill: Undying Fire (1/5)The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to /n/o/vel/b/in.

Requirement: 100 SP

"…" Noel's eyebrows twitched. "Seriously? 100 Skill Points for stage two? It's simply too abnormal. Ah, that's right. I have helped many people once again. Back then, the system recognize my effort by stacking the help that I give in the form of water and the one related to the dam.

"Since I have relieved them with water and the demon, I should get a quite amount." Noel immediately checked his Honor Points, only to be disappointed by the result.

Honor Points:

"What is this number? There are more than four thousand people in this city and this time, I don't use two Honor Points to get three Honor Points every one hundred people. So, I should be able to get a full three Honor Points per one hundred people.

"Yet, I only get less than half? 60 Honor Points only? Really? Are you kidding me?" Noel complained for the first time. The result was far from what he expected after all.

He thought he would be able to get more than one hundred twenty Honor Points but they didn't even get half of it. So, he questioned Ardagan about the result, only to find that he didn't save all of them. No, specificically, Ardagan explained to him that it was a joint effort this time.

Unlike the previous time where he involved the others but was still the only one to complete the mission, this time, he had tasked other people like the Holy Knights fighting the demons so that they could focus on the Advanced Level Demon or the Holy Knights taking care of the water supply.

Because he delegated such stuff, his completion rate became lower, making him receive less Honor Points because he didn't save them by himself.

Noel was dumbfounded when he knew about the reason. He couldn't help but recall all the previous helps he had given to others.

Even in the dam mission, he realized that he was the only one taking down the demons while the villagers only helped him carrying the water. That was why he always received the full amount.

This time was different, the Holy Knight was directly involved in helping.

Noel learned that he had to complete the mission by himself if he wanted to progress the mission. Delegating someone a task that would make them directly partic.i.p.ate in the completion meant he needed to receive less amount.

Still, considering he had to split the reward with many people, Noel was still given the reward as the biggest contribution by saving 45 out of 100 people.

"So, I can't delegate task to others if I don't want my rewards to be split. But then again, if I delegate more people, I can save more. Depending on the case, splitting the jobs can give me more reward since I can't do everything by myself." Noel was in dilemma.

On the one hand, he wanted to monopolize the point to get the highest reward. On the other hand, he wondered if he didn't delegate others to do their job like the Holy Knights, could he actually save those people easily?

If he refused to do it simply because he wanted to get everything, the people might realize and end up scorning him instead of thanking him. When that happens, the count of helping people might not increase at all.

That was why Noel had to carefully plan his move next time.

"I guess paying around sixty Honor Points for this lesson is worth it. At the very least, I haven't reached the point where I save more than ten thousand people or even more." Noel nodded in understanding. "With this, I know what to do. In any case, I still have 64 Honor Points and 1 Skill Point that I can use.

"Because I'm going back to the fort to wait for Rick and Rica to bring me the finished armor, I'll save the Honor Points right now. After all, I'm going to the place my father visited every year as soon as I receive the armor before heading to the ruin."

Noel didn't want to drown in his mistake, so he moved on to the next topic.

He took out the Ice Pearl he got from the lake in the Demon Forest. "That's right. The Moon G.o.ddess said to give this pearl to Heisk. And the only way to do it is to…"

He put the Ice Pearl on Heisk's Spirit Seal. Soon, the Spirit Seal glowed as if reacting to this item. The Spiritual Energy from the Pearl was sucked by Heisk as if she was drinking a delicious wine.

"This is…" Noel was also shocked because he found out something.

Skill: Water Purifying (1/3)

Requirement: 10 SP

Skill: Temperature Control (1/3)

Requirement: 10 SP

"I got more skills? But no one was supposed to receive a skill like this since they don't have a system like Ardagan… What will happen to the normal people when they do this?" Noel furrowed his eyebrows because he wanted to find the answer like the Moon G.o.ddess said. But he never thought that he would realize something that changed his perspective forever. "Wait a minute. Is there a possibility that a Spirit can evolve to a higher rank if we continue feeding them what they can absorb?"
