After receiving the temporary card from Zophia, Randy turned around and was about to walk away, then he suddenly stopped, turned to face Zophia before asking:

"Ah, I almost forgot about this. I meant to ask you this earlier. But do you also provide lodgings for registered dungeon hunters?

"

"We do actually. But you still have to pay for it if you want to rent one. The only good aspect would be that there would be a discount on the rooms available so it would be much cheaper to afford than the inns in the city.

" Zophia happily replied.

"Is that so. Then do you mind if I stay here for the night? After all, I still have to complete my rank mission tomorrow, right?

" Randy immediately said to her.

"It's okay if you want to stay here. There's no procedure or anything. You just need to pay upfront, and I will give you the key to the available room afterward. The lodgings are located at the back of the reception area. But most of the rooms at the bottom floor are for the F-Rank Dungeon hunters, so it might not be too fancy.

"

"I don't mind. As long as there's a bed to sleep on, it should be okay.

" Randy replied, and then asked further:

"Do you also provide food?

"

"We do. Although it is separate from the lodging fees, so you still have to pay a little extra.

" Zophia quickly responded, and then asked:

"How much is your budget?

"

Randy thought for a bit, and then replied:

"About 100 gold.

"

"…That should be enough to stay here for a long time. Considering that it only cost 50 Silver for a day and night in here as opposed to 1 gold in the inns outside the organization.

" Zophia said a moment later.

Hearing her words, without hesitation, Randy went to pay for his lodgings and food accommodation and then received a key from Zophia shortly after.

And upon following the directions given to him by Zophia, he made his way to the back of the reception area through the corridor on the right side.

Very soon, he stood in front of a room, as he used the key given to him, the door opened, revealing the interior of the room. The room was not fancy just like Zophia has said, as there was only a single bed and a table.

At this moment, Randy felt exhausted and so without waiting any longer, he went to lie flat on the bed but soon heard the rumbling of his stomach shortly after.

'So hungry. When are they going to bring the food over?'

Before coming to his room, he had already asked Zophia about when the food would be served, and she said that it would be served in a few minutes. Having no other choice, Randy came to his room as he waited for the food to arrive.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, someone came and delivered the food to his room. Randy went and grabbed the food immediately upon hearing the knock on his door, and afterward, he ate his share of food for the day with satisfaction.

The food itself was nothing fancy or special cuisine. Just some vegetable stew with tender meat cutlets and some cooked grains that looked similar to rice but also slightly different, coupled with some freshly squeezed fruit juice that tasted like an apple and orange mixed together.

After he was done, he took out the plates with all the food emptied out from them and put them in a basket outside of his room. According to what he learned from Zophia, the room service would come and pick up all the plates later, so he only needed to place them outside.

At this time, Randy was sitting on his bed as he readied himself to ask the system about the things that he had learned about today. When he was ready, he looked at the projected screen in front of him and spoke in his mind.

'System, I am not going to ask about why my name is missing on the measurement artifact since I already gave out my name when I filled out that registration form. So answer me this instead, why are my basic statistics or more precisely my attributes lower compared to the ones stated here? Is it like I had guessed? That it seemed to be divided by 10 and is actually proportional to the ones on here?'

It is like the host had guessed. The measurement was conducted with the measurement standard of this world. And thus, there are bound to be differences between both worlds due to that. Furthermore, the measurement displayed was an accurate value of your basic statistics, just in a different standard, so the host does not need to worry too much. Fortunately, the standard was not that vastly different from the host's world, and therefore, the host could still confirm the difference right away

"So it is like I thought then.

" Randy muttered while holding his chin in contemplation.

'I originally thought that my mental strength was normal because at the time I did not have anyone to compare to. But now that I heard this, it got me curious about what the average mental strength should be for people in my world.'

'Although I used a few knowledge points to increase the value of my mental strength to reach the first realm in psionic energy accumulation, I remember that the value before the current value was still higher than the average intelligence in this world which was only 10.'

'If I recall correctly, I had 875 values in mental strength, meaning my intelligence, according to this world, would have been 87.5. Wouldn't this still be too high if compared to the average in this world? I don't think I am that talented enough to have such values. After all, it took me a near-death experience to finally awaken my ability, so there must a reason why my intelligence or mental strength was high in the beginning.'

'Right, since I was someone who had awakened unlike the people in this world, I might have increased my mental strength somehow with the increase in my magical energy. I heard from Emilia that practicing spiritual energy cultivation would allow one to increase all their basic statistics including the other statistics evenly, so there was a chance that increasing one's magical energy would also increase one's mental strength and perhaps even mental resistance.'

'In that sense, it makes sense why I had 875 in the beginning when I had awakened to my innate ability along with my compatible energies.'

Randy pondered for a while by himself in the room, and a short while later, he concluded what he believed to be the case. However, he still needed confirmation, so he decided to seek a second opinion.

With that thought in mind, he asked the system further in his mind: 'Then can you explain to me why that receptionist… Zophia said that my intelligence which relates to my psionic energy was high enough to match this world's strongest humans? After all, even though I increased my mental strength in tandem with my psionic energy, I am still not strong enough to be on the same level as this apostle that she had described earlier.'
