Chapter 125: Your Grandpa Wood Is Back! (2)

He didn’t hesitate and chose Jason·Wood to be deployed.

Swoosh —

The interface immediately switched to the apostle interface, showing Jason’s apostle template. It was as if he had created a new apostle.

However, after Zhou Jing tested it, he realized that the Eternal Apostle could no longer adjust the parameters at will. There were only two places that could be adjusted.

One was the support function. Jason only had one slot, and it was originally loaded with the [Follower Function]. During the re-launch stage, he could consume resources and switch the support function carried by the Eternal Apostle.

The other adjustable parameter was the Model Template Addition Limit. Currently, it was still 500/500. It had reached the upper limit when he was creating the character back then, but it was not reset to zero. It seemed like he could not continue adding points.

However, because the maximum number of points added to the template was related to his Astral Projector Rank, Zhou Jing thought that if he upgraded his rank now, he might be able to give the Eternal Apostle a new limit.

He already had a plan to increase his Astral Projector Rank. At this moment, he did not hesitate and did it.

[Consumed 1,000 Astral Points, 20 Information State Particles]

[Astral Projector Rank Lv1 ? Lv2]

[Upgrading to the next level requires 2,000 Astral Points and 40 Information State Particles.]

He turned to look at Jason’s limit again. As expected, there was a change…

[Current limit: 500/1000]

“As expected, the basic limit of Jason’s template is 500. When it reaches Level 2, the multiplier will be doubled… That gives Jason five free allocation points.”

Zhou Jing was delighted.

He calculated for a while and decided to spend another portion of his resources to increase his Astral Projector Rank once more.

[Astral Travel Energy Lv2 ? Lv3]

[Upgrading to the next level requires 4,000 Astral Points and 80 Information State Particles.]

Zhou Jing had calculated that after deducting the expenses of two rank upgrades, the cost of expanding the Apostle slot, and the additional points he invested in Jason… he would probably only have about 3,000 Astral Points left.

“Hiss, no matter how much money I save, it’s always gone in a flash… But I can only earn more if I invest.”

Zhou Jing exhaled.

He was not squandering his resources. He had raised the Astral Projector Rank to Level 3 not only to increase the points that Jason and the new apostles could add in the future but also because the Astral Projector Rank affected the initial strength of the new apostles. Therefore, it was better to upgrade it before he created any new apostles.

Moreover, after he placed Jason within the realm, he would have an endless source of income.

Therefore, before creating the next apostle, he would definitely use more resources than this.

Zhou Jing did not hesitate to use the resources that he had originally allocated to Jason.

[1,000 Astral Points have been converted. Jason·Wood has received 10 Free Distribution Points.]

[Current Template Limit: 1500/1500]

Zhou Jing thought for a moment and threw all the points into his aptitude.

Jason was not a blank slate. The benefits of increasing his attributes were not as high as when he first entered. Moreover, he could not break through the limit of having an Lv1 template attribute.

If he increased his talent or skill, the cost-effective ratio would also be limited.

Talent could not be transferred to the main body, and skills could be upgraded through Accelerated Learning.

Because of the Eternal Apostle mechanism, increasing one’s aptitude seemed to be the best choice. After all, there were not many opportunities to increase one’s aptitude.

After Jason became an Eternal Apostle, his three most outstanding aptitudes, Physical Fitness, Resistance, and Saber Art, had all become [Dark Green].

Aptitude required multiple points to increase by a small tier, and according to the current aptitude level, the number of Free Distribution Points needed to increase by a small tier was also different.

If one had reached the [Blue] category for aptitude, one needed to invest 5 Free Points to advance by a small tier. It was the same for [Dark Green] to upgrade to [Light Blue].

With the 10 points in his hand, he could either upgrade one of the three attributes to [Blue] or two to [Light Blue].

“Other than adding points, the other main way to increase aptitude is the achievement reward… And the achievement reward I’ve accumulated now is basically to increase my physical fitness…”

Zhou Jing thought for a while and made a decision.

[Free points allocated]

[Aptitude: Resistance [Dark Green] ? [Light Blue], Saber Technique [Dark Green] ? [Light Blue]]

“In terms of Physical Fitness, I’ve saved up enough achievement rewards. It’s definitely not a problem to upgrade it. It’s better to push all three qualifications to the blue tier…”

Zhou Jing had already decided to use the accumulated achievement reward on Jason. It would not be a waste since Jason was already an Eternal Apostle.

As for improving his saber technique aptitude… He felt that it was still very useful to be proficient in one weapon. It was not enough to kill with his bare hands. As for his main body, he planned to inherit the saber technique in the future, so it was good to let Jason improve on his own saber technique.

If one’s saber arts aptitude reached the [Light Blue] rank, the bottleneck would most likely be shifted to a higher level. The cultivation acceleration function could also be fully utilized for the time being.

After adding the points, Zhou Jing did not change the support function.

Stupid Ross was quite useful.

Furthermore, if he brought Ross along, he could allow this follower to continue strengthening his mutant blood. It would have value in continuing to grow, and it would be more useful if he exchanged it with other apostles in the future.

Although he had used up his follower resurrections to kill Buzz Cut when the Eternal Apostles were released again, they could spend 500 Astral Points to “reinstall” [Follower Function] and reset the number of times their followers could be revived—this was the same principle as loading a support function to the new Apostle for the first time.

Zhou Jing was naturally not stingy with this investment.
