Chapter 391: Chapter 275: Drawbacks of Constitution Enhancement

Time had quickly moved on, and it was now past 9 PM, which was around 6 PM in the region Qionghua was in.

Zhang Xiaoman and Lin Sisi had also reached the time to finish their dinner, especially Zhang Xiaoman, who had experienced so much during noon today, depleting a great deal of his energy.

Moreover, he had activated his Constitution Enhancement for a considerable duration, so now he was quite frankly very hungry.

After all, the Constitution Enhancement skill, while boosting all aspects of physical fitness, also accelerated one’s metabolism, making hunger an inevitable consequence.

Thus, theoretically, this skill could last for an hour, but when it came to practical use, the duration might not be as effective.

Generally, after activating Constitution Enhancement, one needed to quickly resolve any fights because nobody wanted to be constantly hungry.

Imagine, while watching a movie, a superhero is intensely battling a villain, and suddenly clutches his stomach saying, "I’m hungry"; how awkward that would be.

So, about this downside, Zhang Xiaoman also felt quite helpless. If possible, he would end the battle as soon as he could and then deactivate this enhancement.

Of course, he had also experimented and speculated on solutions.

For instance, he could eat more filling military rations or even Extraordinary Items like baozi before activating the skill, which could effectively mitigate such issues.

In the kitchen, Ye Fei had also left a dinner for both of them, and after enjoying the meal, Zhang Xiaoman and Lin Sisi left.

One must say, the culinary skills of that guy Ye Fei were truly unmatched. Ever since he arrived here, not only did Zhang Xiaoman come daily to eat, but even Xiao Shun, Yang Yangyang, and others would always find excuses to come over, just to snag a meal here.

As Shuai Yu put it,

"Initially, when I had just arrived here, I felt a bit homesick, but now that I can eat such delicious worldly cuisines every day, I find myself quite contentedly forgetting about home."

Zhang Xiaoman escorted Lin Sisi back to her house, but this time, he didn’t use an anti-gravity car; instead, he accompanied the young girl and used the Teleportation Ability from the Eternal Star Ring.

Since the girl had acquired the Star Ring, leaving Rebirth Island had become much more convenient. All she needed to do was target the Star Alliance Marker on the cupboard in Pei Laoliu’s house and then activate the Teleportation Skill directly.

He had realized when initially placing the marker that the Star Ring’s teleportation could reach within a radius of 50 meters, and Lin Sisi’s bedroom was precisely on the edge of that distance.

Finally, before leaving, Zhang Xiaoman purchased a robe from the Gang Store, specifically the exclusive item for a Star Lord of the Star Alliance, the "Morning Star Robe."

Like the Polar Star Robe, the Morning Star Robe also increased the recovery speed of Dark Energy by 100%, and this effect was doubled to 200% when Lin Sisi used it.

This item was also quite affordable, costing only a piece of Star Dust. Although Zhang Xiaoman wasn’t wealthy, he could still afford a piece of Star Dust.

With the robe, the young girl could now recover Dark Energy much faster.

Thus, what originally took her 600 minutes to fully recharge now only took 200 minutes.

Adding her own Dark Energy recovery speed enhancement, although still not as astonishing as Zhang Xiaoman’s 33 minutes’ recharge, her time had also shortened to around 100 minutes, a vast improvement from before.

Zhang Xiaoman even imagined that with this boost, her efficiency in developing Dark Energy would likely increase significantly.

After leaving her place, Zhang Xiaoman returned directly to Rebirth Island. Through the Final Gate, he arrived in the Original Realm, and now finally had some time to properly sort out today’s gains in combat strength.

Upon opening the store interface, the first thing that caught his eye was that hefty balance of 200 System Points.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Xiaoman’s mood also brightened. He even felt a bit reluctant to spend it, similar to how many people enjoy hoarding resources when playing online games.

Well, of course, it was impossible not to use them. In terms of System Points, not using them wouldn’t make much difference from not having them at all. The current issue was how exactly to use them.

A total of 200 points was also a significant amount for Zhang Xiaoman. In his original plan, he intended to use half of them for enhancing the members of the Star Alliance and the other half for boosting his own strength.

However, since the World Tree was temporarily unable to exchange for Star Dust, his plan had to be shelved for now.

Zhang Xiaoman thought it over and decided to use a portion now and save the rest for emergency situations.

As happened today on East Crossing Street, if he had enough points in hand, he wouldn’t have had to use up the Six Sunflower at home needed for upgrades.

Besides, these points weren’t just for his use alone. Lin Sisi’s contribution could be set aside for now since she would likely be considered family later on.

But people like Ye Cang and those from the Light Blue Clan also had their share of Contribution Points. Although not much, who’s to say they wouldn’t want to exchange something later on?

If he had to say "out of stock" then, where would the Star Alliance’s reputation stand? Over time if this continued, who would strive for Contribution Points?

So, in this upgrade cycle, Zhang Xiaoman still planned to utilize only half of them, saving the rest for handling any potential situations that might arise later.

He reached out, clicked eight times in the store, and purchased eight Starry Stones, which currently priced at 5 points each, costing him a total of 40 points.

These stones were intended as one piece each for the people from the Light Blue Clan.

Since the World Tree was currently overloaded causing the shield to temporarily malfunction, those few didn’t need any official membership; they could be teleported in directly using the Starry Stone.

In his view, the Starry Stone was still quite vital.

Preparing them a bit earlier not only could enhance their proficiency in using the return home skill sooner but also provided an extra means of saving their lives when they encountered danger.
