"For example...reading minds." Lin En thought of something casually.
"Ten thousand points."
"Ten thousand?!" Lin En was shocked. He only needed 200 points to complete one task. At this rate, he would have to complete fifty tasks to get enough points to redeem his mind-reading ability.
The curator suggested: "You can think of something simpler."
Lin En had an idea and started with mind reading, but lowered the requirements: "How much ability is needed to judge whether someone is lying?"
"Five thousand points."
This idea is correct.
Ability in the same direction, but the difference in strength will also affect the number of points.
"The ability to detect lies only three times a day, how many do you need?"
"Three thousand points."
"Only once a day?"
"Fifteen hundred points."
"What about once every three days?"
"Five hundred points."
There are still too many. It seems that if the ability is reduced to the level where two hundred points can be exchanged, the effect it can bring will become useless.
"Can abilities be accumulated? For example, I spent 1,500 points to redeem from you the ability to identify lies once a day. Can I spend another 1,500 points to upgrade it to the ability to identify lies three times a day?
"After that, spend another 7,000 points to upgrade to mind-reading?" If you don't have enough points, if you want to develop extraordinary power, you must make it sustainable. Otherwise, Lin En would rather save it or exchange it for other cost-effective products.
Something higher.
"Can."
"Is the point reward for each cleanup task two hundred?" Lin En continued to understand the information so that he could make a clear plan.
The curator shook his head: "The number of points awarded is related to the difficulty of the cleaning task."
"What is the interval between each cleanup task? Or does the occurrence of cleanup tasks have nothing to do with time, but mainly with location and people?"
"No comment."
"I understand." Lin En thought about where to use his two hundred points.
To avoid wasting points, this matter must be viewed in the long run.
If you are determined to vigorously develop your mind-reading ability, although you can't afford it now, you can first exchange it for a more junior ability in the same direction to lay a solid foundation.
Lin En thought a lot, but when he looked down and saw his unconscious legs, all his previous thoughts disappeared in an instant: "How many points will it take to restore my legs to their original appearance?"
"Four hundred points."
"It actually costs four hundred points..." Lin En couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The problem with his legs was imminent, which made him born a little worse than others.
He already has limited mobility, and now he has to perform cleaning tasks, which is really stressful.
Especially if the mission fails, the cost is likely to be life.
"How much money can be exchanged for two hundred points?" Lin En changed his mind. If the money exchanged was enough, he might be able to use the money to heal his leg.
"Two hundred gold coins."
The currency of the Venn Empire is very simple. One gold coin is equal to ten silver coins and one hundred copper coins.
Two hundred gold coins is equivalent to Matt's income for seven or eight years.
It seems to be a lot, but going to the best hospital in the imperial capital to treat his leg is still too much. The most important thing is that Lin En is not sure about the specific level of medical treatment in this world. If his leg cannot be cured at all, that precious
If you convert your points into money, you will lose money.
"Awakened ones shouldn't be able to give points to each other, right?"
"cannot."
This further illustrates the importance of points.
Can only be obtained from quests.
From Linn's point of view, money is easy to earn. After all, his novel career is advancing steadily. Instead, it is points. Every point is related to whether he can become stronger and whether he can survive the cleaning tasks again and again.
The exchange rate given by the curator is that one point is equal to one gold coin.
In Lin En's eyes, the value of one point even exceeds one hundred gold coins, and is even priceless.
"Have you thought about it? What to exchange for?" the curator asked.
"How many points are needed to restore the legs to the point where they can basically walk?" Lin En took the next step, hoping to restore his mobility as soon as possible.
No one knows what the next cleanup mission will be like or whether there will be any supernatural power.
Lynn can't rely on Matt 24 hours a day, nor can she expect other awakened people to help push her wheelchair. If this situation persists, the next time will be bad.
"Two hundred and fifty points." The curator finally gave a number similar to the number Lin En held.
"Can you barely walk?"
"Two hundred points."
"That's it, let's exchange it." Lin En decided on the exchange item this time.
Barely able to walk is better than a wheelchair, at least going up and down stairs is no longer a problem.
"Okay." The curator raised his hand.
"Is this okay?" Lin En just finished asking.
"Yes."
Lin couldn't wait and immediately tried to stand up.
He put his hands on the armrests of the wheelchair and stood up slowly.
Instantly, a neither strong nor weak pain hit her legs, causing Linn to tense up involuntarily.
This is something to be happy about.
Because he had no feeling in his legs before, even if he was pricked with a needle, there would be no reaction.
"Hmm..." Linn adjusted to the pain and struggled with the weakness in her legs.
It took more than ten seconds. Finally, he stood up shakily and tried to take a few steps.
You can walk, but it's the same as what he exchanged. It's very difficult. It would be much easier if you had a cane.
Lin En was very excited, and he felt a few tears gathering in the corners of his eyes.
Just four days of being unable to walk made him unbearable. He could not imagine what kind of darkness he had been in these past few years.
The darkness and despair must be dozens of times greater than what he imagined and what he has experienced so far.
At this moment, he realized that his previous impression and evaluation of the original body were too condescending.
"Is there anything else you want to ask? If not, you can leave here." The curator waited for Lin En to leave before saying.
"There are a few more." Lin En took a few long breaths, calmed down, and sat back in the wheelchair. "...Can awakened people kill each other?"
It's not that Lin En is afraid of any conflicts with the Awakened Ones in the future.
He was simply afraid of Arthur.
Rotten gambler, murderer, Dean with no bottom line, corruption value [130].
Arthur's is not bad either,【100】.
He really couldn't tell whether Arthur would hurt him for anything after the mission was over.
"In principle, it is not allowed."
"In principle? That means it's still possible, but you have to pay a price? What's the price?" Lin En caught the loophole in the curator's words.
"The price will be reflected in the cleanup tasks after you harm other awakened people." The curator said.
"I understand, it means that the difficulty of the cleaning task will increase, right?"
"No comment."
Lin En changed his angle and asked: "What if you are injured by others and fight back in self-defense?"
"No effect."
"Okay." Lin En felt reassured, "I have one last question for you. Is there an end to all this...?"
There must be some reason for the mysterious force to create the Awakened One and clear the mission.
Lin En could imagine himself gradually getting stronger, but he really couldn't imagine what it would be like when these things ended.
"No comment."
Unfortunately, the curator did not answer this question.
Lin En solved a lot of doubts in his heart during this conversation, and some of the questions extended deeper as he touched the other side of the world more deeply.
"Then I have no problem, thank you."
"Looking forward to meeting you next time." The curator put on his glasses and looked down at the books on the desk again.
Linn's vision was the same as when he came to the library. It was blurred for two or three seconds, and when it became clear again, he had returned to the restaurant.
Dean in the restaurant looked remorseful, and Dinah sobbed softly, exactly the same as when he entered the library, which meant that from the perspective of time in this world, he had almost never left.
"Back?" Arthur looked at Linn.
"Yeah." Lin En nodded, "How to deal with them specifically?"
"I don't have time to deal with them. We will take them out of the tavern later. The rest is up to them." Arthur did not intend to fulfill the duties of a sheriff.
This is actually similar to other police officers in the slums. If you can do less, do less. Anyway, there will be no benefit if you do it, and there will be no loss if you don't do it.
No one cares about legal fairness or justice.
Money, power, and sex are what everyone pursues in this fallen era.
