World-saving Plan: The Only Savior
Chapter 147 - 45 Increase in Spiritual Power

Chapter 147: Chapter 45 Increase in Spiritual Power

The six reserved upgrade opportunities had already been depleted by half, and yet Zhang Xiaoman had not heard a single sound.

As for today’s upgrade results, he had basically lost all hope by now.

Numbly, he extended his finger and clicked on the upgrade function again, already prepared to randomly hit the Dragon Egg once more.

As for why not get rid of the Dragon Egg?

Initially, it was because he couldn’t bear to do so, but now it was a mix of superstition and reluctance.

After all, it was already a Purple Level item, and deep down, Zhang Xiaoman still harbored a sliver of fantasy that perhaps there would be a way to hatch it directly in the future?

Continuing to upgrade, this time, seeing the result the system had just provided, a smile finally appeared on Zhang Xiaoman’s face.

"Randomizing upgrade, please wait..."

"Upgrade complete! White Prop—Four-leaf Flower, has successfully upgraded to Green Prop—Five Fragrant Grass."

"Not bad, this item has finally been upgraded..."

Zhang Xiaoman nodded to himself, having long anticipated this small flower with healing abilities, just like Baozi.

The infuriating method of using Baozi ensured it could never become a combat item, as you couldn’t expect the monsters to stop and wait while you slowly ate a basket of baozi one by one during a fight.

Compared to Baozi, although the Four-leaf Flower could only restore 40 Life Points, one could simply pop it in their mouth, chew it twice, and swallow.

However, that flower was not currently on him, as Zhang Xiaoman had left it at his home, so he couldn’t check its attributes now and could only let it be.

On the other hand, the price marked in the store was somewhat surprising to him, costing 10 points per flower, which was twice as expensive as a Baozi of the same level.

As for the Dragon Egg, which was distasteful to use but a pity to discard, the selling price was as high as 500 points.

Zhang Xiaoman felt that only a fool would buy such a thing.

Next was the fifth upgrade.

"Randomizing upgrade, please wait..."

"Upgrade complete! Green Skill—Shattering Stars, has successfully upgraded to Green Skill—Shattering Stars·Second Level."

[Shattering Stars]

〖Second Level〗

Effect: Plunge a sword into the ground to form an array eye, granting "Shattering Star Formation" effect to friendly units within a certain range of the array eye.

Shattering Star Formation: Increases Physical Attack by (5%)→10%.

Energy Consumption: (5)→10 Energy

Range: radius (5)→10 meters

Duration: (1)→2 minutes

Cooling Time: (1)→2 minutes

——Jade Sword Shattering Star Stance.

This was an unremarkable upgrade, temporarily unnecessary, but nonetheless needed eventually.

10% Physical Attack did not make a noticeable difference for Zhang Xiaoman at this time, but it should still work fine for boosting Star Guard’s output since the energy consumption was minimal.

Just like Sky Shattering, the first level of Shattering Stars needed 20 points to purchase in the store.

Next was the last chance for an upgrade, and before using it, Zhang Xiaoman silently muttered a couple of prayer words and then reached out to click on the system interface.

"Drawing Upgrade randomly, please wait..."

"Upgrade complete! White prop — Enlightenment Kaleidoscope, has been successfully upgraded to white prop — Enlightenment Kaleidoscope·Advanced."

The Enlightenment Kaleidoscope was a somewhat perplexing prop, and the Star Alliance established by Zhang Xiaoman was inspired by a name from its origin.

According to the built-in instructions, it was meant for spiritual power training, which Zhang Xiaoman would often utilize before going to sleep during his spare time.

But so far, despite four observations, his spiritual power had not increased, leaving him rather helpless.

After completing all six upgrades, Zhang Xiaoman had saved 16 points for himself to handle some unexpected situations.

Initially excited to come for an upgrade, the situation had turned anticlimactic due to that trouble-making Dragon Egg.

Fortunately, the upgrade of the Four-leaf Flower provided him with some comfort, so it wasn’t entirely fruitless.

Standing up, he arrived at the entrance to the Original Realm and crossed the barrier to the outside Rebirth Island.

It was now the deepest part of the night and being located near the middle of the Pacific Ocean, very close to the 180-degree longitude line, the time here was among the earliest globally, about three hours ahead of Qionghua City.

It was a bright night with the moon hanging low and the stars shining brightly. Even in this place devoid of artificial light, everything around became clearly visible.

Zhang Xiaoman took a deep breath of the salty air, and the hint of sleepiness that had just arisen completely dissipated. He felt that life could indeed be pleasant without the overlapping of worlds.

Without lingering there any longer, Zhang Xiaoman consumed 100 Dark Energy to activate Unlimited Teleportation to return home. It must be said that, with the Teleportation Ability, commuting between home and Rebirth Island was as easy and convenient as a walk in his own backyard.

The first thing after getting back was to inspect the properties of the two items he had just upgraded, and the results were indeed satisfying, not much different from what he had expected.

[Five Fragrant Grass]

Effect: Recovers 70 Life Points.

— Drawn from a mysterious valley unknown, this peculiar little grass has five leaves, each emitting a distinct fragrance.

...

[Enlightenment Kaleidoscope·Advanced]

— Standard Star Alliance equipment, provided for High Order students to control and use.

Zhang Xiaoman picked up the upgraded Enlightenment Kaleidoscope; it didn’t look much different than before, just slightly more refined.

Upon switching on the Kaleidoscope, the entire white tube immediately lit up, and Zhang Xiaoman discovered an advanced mode added inside it on the display, marked with a line of text: "It is not recommended for students below third grade."

Zhang Xiaoman had no intention of hazardously experimenting, so he lay back down on his bed and began using the original novice mode.

The dazzling starry sky visuals twinkled before his eyes, and Zhang Xiaoman’s spiritual power was rapidly depleting. As he gradually got accustomed to this sensation, he could endure for longer periods.

Although the tormenting feeling persisted during use, it was no longer as painful as before.

The observation lasted for 5.14 seconds, an increase from the initial 3.79 seconds, adding nearly two seconds in total.

These two seconds should not be underestimated; for such intense spiritual training, every slight improvement was extremely challenging.

Zhang Xiaoman slept for a full 12 hours, and by the time he awoke the next day, it was already past 12 noon.

However, this time was different from the past; after five sessions of Kaleidoscope training, he joyfully discovered when checking his attribute panel that his spiritual power had increased from 0 to 1 point.

This one point of spiritual power was also the first he had acquired so far.

Thus, if wearing the Hundred Flowers Brewed Cloak, his spiritual power would reach 6 points. Adding his basic 100 Dark Energy points as an Awakener, Zhang Xiaoman’s maximum Dark Energy had reached an impressive 160 points!

PS: It seems that we’re going live tomorrow at noon, that’s what the editor said. However, I haven’t received the notification yet, so I’m not sure if things will go smoothly tomorrow. If it does go live, we’ll maintain two updates daily from then on. I hope everyone can continue to support us~
