"Master, I am adding useful pieces of information to the relevant notifications from now on.

nMJ highlighted the Race section in my and the notification that appeared was about the race that I evolved into, and it had additional information from MJ's Tier-4 System Access.

nTier-2: Lv.11 to Lv.25

nTier-3: Lv.25 to Lv.50

nTier-4: Lv.50 to Lv.100

nSimilarly, lots of notifications appeared about most of the aspects of my . With this, my understanding of the system reached a higher degree.

nMore notable points were the Uncommon Skills I gained from reaching 20 Stats in my Attributes, , , and .

nThe regenerated 1 Stamina point per second, and the same goes for the other two passive skills as they regenerate at 1 value per second.

nMeanwhile, I learned that I didn't activate the Achievement Title, . So, I activated it, and my Stats in Luck attribute increased from 7 to 12.

nIt was no wonder that I didn't receive any other Spirit Items from the Tier-1 Wolves that I killed. I wondered if I could really get more Spirit Items when I kill a monster with just a 5 stat increment in the Luck Attribute.

nEven MJ couldn't give more information about the Luck Attribute, except for the standard 'extra rewards' answer.

nI didn't bother much about it and got off my bed to prepare breakfast as my stomach created rumbling sounds.

nBut when I tried to approach the kitchen, I felt it was hard to maintain my balance while walking and the control I had over my body was poor.

nThe 10 Stats increment in all the 5 main Attributes in my that I gained in Tier-2 Evolution was the main cause for my lack of proper control over my body.

nMy Strength, Agility, and Spirit Attributes were the same at 32 Stats. In comparison, the Endurance Attribute has 46 Stats and the Vitality Attribute, which has the highest of all other Attributes, stood at 56 Stats.

nThrough MJ, I gained a deep understanding of the 5 main Attributes.

nThe most important finding was that, all the 5 main Attributes are interrelated as the Agility Attribute was not the one that directly increases speed.

nOnly by increasing the Strength Attribute, which enhances muscle strength, could one move at high speed.

nBut there lies a problem, when just Strength Attribute was increased without enough Stats in Agility Attribute, not even a quarter of its potential could be displayed.

nWhat the Agility attribute does was that it increases control of overall muscles in the body and improves muscle movement whilst keeping balance and fluid movement. It also increases reaction speed and muscle memory.

nSo, 'Agility' depends on 'Strength' and in the same way 'Strength' depends on 'Endurance.'

nTo contain the explosiveness of strengthened muscles from the increased Strength Attribute, the body constitution should be high.

nWhat happens when Endurance Attribute does not match the increased Strength Attribute was that the Body's Constitution, which includes Bone Density, Tendons, ligaments, Skin, and other internal body factors, can't contain the power of the strengthened muscles, which in turn causes pain and self-damage.

nIn the case of Spirit Attribute, it was essential to increase it along with Agility Attribute.

nSince, without a high enough Spirit Attribute, which provides increased perception of time and brain processing power and muscle memory, the Agility Attribute cannot show its full potential.

nFinally, when it comes to the Vitality Attribute, without it, all the increased attributes like Strength, Agility, Endurance, and Spirit cannot function correctly in a long-term perspective.

nFor me, the Vitality and Endurance Attributes were higher than other Attributes, but that was not a good thing if it exceeds the Golden Stat Rule.

nAs for the Golden Stat Rule, it was set by the System. According to this rule, the Attribute with the highest Stats of the 5 main Attributes should not exceed the Attribute with the lowest Stats by the amount that equals the highest level of their respective Tier.

nIn the case of a Tier-1 individual, his Attribute with highest Stats should not exceed the Attribute with lowest Stats by 10 Stats since the highest possible level in Tier-1 is Lv.10.

nWhen it comes to a Tier-2 Individual like me, the Attribute with the highest Stats should not exceed the Attribute with the lowest Stats by 25 Stats since the highest possible level in Tier-2 is Lv.25.

nSuppose, if one couldn't meet the requirements of the Golden Stat Rule for a prolonged period of time, it becomes dangerous to any individual as their life force will be slowly consumed, affecting their Life Span since the Attribute with lowest Stats couldn't keep up with the function of the Attribute with Highest Stats.

nAs the difference between my Vitality Attribute and the Strength

/Agility

/Spirit Attribute was 24 Stats. I was in luck since if I had 2 more stats in my Vitality Attribute, I would have misfortunately broken the Golden Stat Rule.

nI didn't merge with the Grade-3 Innate Talents that I looted from the Tier-2 Wolf and Bear since MJ informed me that merging with them was a time-consuming process.

nI wanted to add my remaining Undistributed Stats so that the difference between Attribute with highest Stats and the Attribute with lowest Stats.

nBut before that, I had to adjust myself to the improved Stats. So, for the next half an hour, I worked on my body control.

nIn the first 5 minutes, I was able to walk normally. In the next 10 minutes, I could move without making any loud thumping sounds and handle slightly advanced movements like jogging and slow runs.

nIn the last 15 minutes of the half an hour, I was able to make quick and sharp movements. Still, there were also incidents where I smashed into walls and almost broke them, and by the end of the 30 minutes, my house was in a mess.

nBut I got a quick hang of the control over my increased Stats. It would look unusual to any person who was already assimilated with the System since adjusting to the sudden increase of 10 Stats in all of the 5 main Attributes under 30 minutes was way too quick.

nMJ concluded that the reason behind my quick adjustment to the increased Stats was because I experienced the state of harmony in mode, where I had 62* Stats in all of my 5 main Attributes of .

nWith that, I was able to adjust to the increased Stats in just half an hour. After that, I started to prepare Breakfast for myself, and it reminded me of my food source in Trial World, which was the .

nThe main reason for bringing those Spirit Fruits was to see if they could heal my sibling's physical conditions and my Grandfather's coma condition.

nSo, I brought out the three and the two from my bag and inquired with MJ.

nMJ asserted, not to let them consume the at once since the sudden increase in Vitality would be fatal for a person who was not assimilated with the System.

nHe then explained how the Spirit fruits affect their consumer and that the was a Grade-3 Spirit Fruit.

nThe key takeaway was that the Spirit Fruit effect depends on the Tier of the person who consumes it.

nIn my case, I ate a when I was in Tier-1, So, I gained 10 stats in Vitality Attribute.

nBut if I consumed it in Tier-2, I would have only obtained 1 or 3 Stats in Vitality Attribute. Similarly, if I consume it in Tier-3, It would only recover my health without adding even a single stat in my Vitality Attribute.

nWhen It comes to a person who was not assimilated with the System, It will increase their vitality by more than 25 Stats.

nEven if they miraculously survive it, they would soon lose their Life Force from breaking the Golden Stat Rule.

nBut of course, there was a solution to that. It was to let my siblings consume just a few drops of the sap from since the fruit part has a higher vitality concentration.

nSo, I extracted all the sap I could from the . The result was the near 100ml golden-coloured sap, which filled the entire kitchen with its invigorating aroma.

nJust by getting a whiff of it, I felt energised. Following that, I filled the sap into a 100-millilitre mini refreshing spray bottle that I normally use to spray my face with water to get rid of sleepiness.

nAfter storing it in the fridge, I prepared breakfast, and when I was about to eat, I got a phone call from my younger brother Kay.

nBut when I picked up the call, the smile on my face froze as the voice I hear was not my brother's but a crackling male voice,

"You must be the punk, Kay's elder brother Jay, right?

"

nWhen I heard the voice's tone, I had a bad premonition and signalled MJ as he turned in a streak of blue light and disappeared into my PC screen.

nMeanwhile, I replied,

".....Yes.

"

nWith 32 Stats in my Spirit Attribute, my senses were 3.2 times higher than a normal person. So, I could grasp more details in the sounds from the phone call.

n

"Keke….Then this is for you…..

"

nAfter that, I heard the footsteps of the unknown man who was carrying the phone, as he moved towards the source of the occasional grunts and yells of pain.

nMy eyes turned ice cold, and my body subconsciously quivered when I recognised my brother's voice within the yells that were filled with pain.

nI heard the man who talked with me, suggesting another person in a sarcastic tone,

"Where did your lose your sense of symmetry, pluck off his last fingernail as well.

"

nJust then, I heard another bloodcurdling scream of my brother and when I was about to lose my rationality from the bubbling rage, MJ's A.I form appeared in front of me as he exited my PC screen.

nMJ's diligent voice resounded in my head,

"Master, I tracked their phone signal and found their location. It's 22.4 km (14 miles) from here!

"
