Switching to the 1k chapters now, so when the new batch of locked chapters co up for November, don't purchase them and save your coins.
[See? Isn't it amazing to see what I can provide to you should you take a mont to utilize the services I am obligated to give you? Who would have thought that utilizing the System Shop would give such great benefits that would make your life easier? Such a novel idea, that...]
'Oh hush you... no need to get so sassy with ; just be grateful that I'm deciding to make use of this now, alright?'
[Hmm... no, I won't be quiet. You should have been making use of this many months - if not years ago, and yet you haven't! Better late than never I suppose, but that only ans you have a lot of rushing to do to catch yourself up to where you should be!]
I held back a snort, though my lips curled into a small smile as I rolled my eyes and asked 'And how am I ant to rush? Are you offering to loan an abundance of Shop Points to begin my shopping spree, or am I ant to go rush through a million and one quests to get rich?'
Browsing through so of the techniques, I selected a few more before rolling my eyes again as the System said [Go do so more quests you useless puppy! Surely you can see how rewarding they are considering you're already so rich!], adding those techniques to my cart and making that total rise slowly but surely.
Each thing I added was yet another manual or scroll about the fundantals of a certain topic, and specifically I kept each of them geared towards things I was already good at but not perfect with just yet, like enchanting or raw mana control.
My skill level in them was high, yes, but I was always welcoming to the idea of shoring up the foundations for those skills in any way possible, especially if they were rather cheap and offered a small discount on the techniques that were above them.
They also seed to unlock new things that I hadn't seen quite yet in the shop, so that ant that this wasn't entirely a waste either, so I decided to reward myself for my accidental ingenuity by acquiring two intriguing books.
[Friede's Manual of Interdiate Ice Enchantnts (42,500 SP): A collection of various spells painstakingly perfected for those with an Ice attunent alongside the potential location to source materials to improve the potency of those spells]
[Friede's Manual of 'Frost Laced Canoness' (55,000 SP): A fighting style created by Canoness Friede that utilizes Ice Magic, Scythes, Gladius' and Daggers to create a blizzard of both Ice and Steel]
It was seemingly a set of manuals purveyed by the sa woman, and considering each of their price tags I was rather hopeful about the contents within, so I added them to the list before spending a slew of points all at the sa ti, draining my wallet back down to 400,000 SP.
I wanted to keep a cushion of around 100,000 SP at all tis, where I would be able to purchase a few [Vitrea Ward Rings] safely should we find ourselves in a perilous situation; the remaining 300,000 SP was being saved because I wanted to purchase so more accessories for us soti soon, and they were all pretty expensive.
As soon as I purchased that many manuals though, my thoughts were jumbled around before my mind went blank as a large amount of knowledge was loaded directly into my head, and each second stretched out to feel like hours as I studied over things that I shouldn't be able to know just yet.
Spells I hadn't co up with or managed to get into a workable state were suddenly known to , the footwork I required to fight more effectively was taught to instantly, the vast array of various ways to go about casting or enchanting spells was now stuffed inside my head...
All of it happened at the sa ti, and while there was a mont where I felt my brain throbbing hard as all that knowledge required a large amount of energy to imprint, it was a surprisingly painless process that only left feeling a bit drained ntally; not tired but certainly not ready to do anything that required an imnse amount of thought.
Each manual I had purchased was now securely lodged within my brain, and they only improved my abilities as they settled onto the shelves of my ntal library nearby all of the other things I had learned over the years, finding their spot and getting cozy with everything else.
It felt like I had known these things forever, and that was a fascinatingly scary thing to realize as I combed over these mories, wondering if there was a possibility of one of these books having a 'virus' or sothing similar written into its pages.
[As happy as I am that you are finally realizing that kind of 'security risk' to yourself, please rest assured that there is nothing in here that would alter your ntality or personality in drastic ways. I cannot promise that you won't feel different afterwards since so of these books hold potent knowledge, but I can guarantee there isn't so latent soul lingering within the pages waiting for your guard to drop.]
'Because that's reassuring coming from the librarian..?'
We shared a chuckle at that, though again I took the System at its word since so far there had been no reason for it to attempt sothing like that, and with the confirmation that there were Gods and Goddesses that existed in this world - or this reality - I wasn't really going to demand answers from soone who had gifted this second lease on life.
[The idea of a 'corrupt' System is rather cliche, no? You were already betrayed in your first life, so the idea is already soured; besides, what's the fun in that, right? Who wants to read a story where the main character is betrayed by the very thing that made them the main character? It's shocking, yes, but almost never done in a satisfying way... at least not in a way that isn't comparable in terms of satisfaction when compared to a 'normal' story...]
