252- Thermal Vision

‘ding’

‘Charm stat has reached 1000 points.'

‘Congratulations to the host for unlocking the hidden ability of the Charm stat and ‘Sense’ Stat- Thermal Vision.'

Thermal Vision-

An ability that allows the user to view any object or living things that emit heat. It is even possible to use this ability even in the darkest places.

Note: For every increase of Charm and Sense Stat by 100 points, this ability will improve and penetrate thick objects. Such that it can also allow the user to even detect heat from the insulted places.

.

Seeing this, Orochi was slightly disappointed but nevertheless, the Thermal Vision was still good.

Disappointed because he was expecting to get a better ability as he felt that after the Charm stat reaches 1000 points, it would unlock something good. But The reality is different.

Although a little disappointed he still feels that the Thermal vision is not so bad.

He put away all the disappointment in the back of his head and activated the thermal vision.

.

As soon as he activated the thermal vision, in his eyes, the whole world changed its color.

Since it was early in the morning, he saw that his surroundings and all the objects turned into a mixture of red-, orange-, and yellow-colored bodies. Add in the shady regions, some mixtures of blue, indigo, violet could be seen.

He observed his own body and saw that his clothes turned into some bluish in color and his skin turned into a mixture of red, orange, and yellow.

He observed the trees, but they remained blue in color, while some of their leaves were red and orange colored.

The whole view looked beautiful, like a neon painting.

He observed the surroundings for a few moments and after some experiments, he switched off the thermal vision.

From his experiments, he understood that the range of his thermal Vision was just 100 meters, and anything beyond that looked dark blue in color.

And with his current ability of Thermal vision, it can barely penetrate a few inches of a tree. So, it means, that it cannot even penetrate a wall.

‘It needs to be upgraded.’

That’s what Orochi thought about the thermal vision in his heart.

His thoughts dispersed, when he started to feel the slight changes brought by the system when the next batch of Free stat points was added to his stats.

‘ding’

.

Orochi waited for a few minutes and let the system continue with its work.

Meanwhile, he gave another command to the system and let it fill his empty dantian with spiritual qi after the MP is converted.

This time, about 35,000 MP was used up to fill his dantian.

Looking at this huge consumption, Orochi smiled wryly as he felt that his MP recovery speed might not be able to keep up with the way he was using up MP for his practice.

He thought about it and realized that just for practicing about 10 minutes, his dantian gets empty. And to fill it up with spiritual qi, he requires about 35,000 MP.

And with his MP recovery speed, which is at 30 MP per second, in 10 minutes he is barely able to recover about 18,000 MP.

Not to mention, that he also converts MP into Free stat points.

Thinking about all this, he started to have a headache.

Finally, he sighed in resignation,

“Well, whatever. If my MP recovery rate is not able to keep up with my requirement, I'll just have to use some money and buy MP potions.”

“Not to mention, if I calculate properly then if I want to recover and fill up dantian with spiritual qi, I would require more than 9000 Low grade energy stones. And here in the system shop, if I buy an MP potion which is worth a few million Sikka, and use MP to fill up the dantian, then there is no loss for me. Not to mention, I am also saving time.”

He quickly opened the system shop and looked at different MP potions displayed on the screen.

.

‘MP Potion Lvl 1 = Adds 10 MP (Price= 1000 sikka)’

‘MP Potion Lvl 2 = Adds 50 MP (Price= 5000 sikka)’

‘MP Potion Lvl 3 = Adds 100 MP (Price= 10,000 sikka)’

‘MP Potion Lvl 4 = Adds 1000 MP (Price= 100,000 sikka)’

‘MP Potion Lvl 5 = Adds 10,000 MP (Price= 1,000,000 sikka)’

‘MP Potion Lvl 6 = Adds 100,000 MP (Price= 10,000,000 sikka)’

‘MP Potion Lvl 7 - Locked

.

And when he saw the prices of the MP potions, Orochi smiled as he thought,

‘Just like I thought, if I buy just one Lvl 6 MP potion, then I can recover lots of MP. Not to mention, its price is just 10 million Sikka, that I can get by exchanging 10 low grade energy stones in the system shop.’

Now, which is better? Using more than 9000 low grade energy stones to recover spiritual qi for 1 time or getting a Lvl 6 potion, and using MP to recover spiritual qi, and it can be used 2-3 times, for the same purpose.

Of course, it is the latter.

========

Quick Recap:

1 Lower grade energy stone = 1000 gold coins = 1,000,000 Sikka

1 gold coin = 100 silver coin= 1000 sikka

1 silver coin = 100 bronze coin= 10 sikka

1 sikka = 10 Bronze coin

========

.

Hence, Orochi quickly used 20 Low grade energy stones to get 20 million Sikka and bought 2- Lvl 6- MP potions with it. And immediately, used them to recover MP.

And by this time, the system also finished its task.

Orochi once again looked at the status window,
