Getting A System In A Modern World

Chapter 196: Getting Stronger [Bonus Chapter]

Unfortunately for Elizabeth and her team, they were unable to get anything from Chloe as she has no idea where Silas lives.

Of course, Chloe won't be willing to tell them anything even if she does know where Silas lives.

Chloe was actually curious as to the reason why Daniel and his group of peculiar-looking people were looking for Silas.

She thought of different possibilities but none of them were any good. She decided to call Silas immediately to warn him.

"Hey."

"Hey Chloe. How are you?"

"I'm good. Daniel was just here a few moments ago. He came with a group of people that gave off some weird feeling and they were looking for you.

I think it might be related to his father who was just sentenced a few days ago but I'm not sure

Ogre, you didn't get yourself into any trouble, right?" Chloe asked feeling a little worried.

Silas laughed when he sensed how worried Chloe was for him.

"Chloe, are you worried for me?" Silas asked mischievously.

"Don't do that, ogre. Don't try to get a reaction out of me. Just stay safe." Chloe said and immediately hung up.

She threw the phone on the bed and buried her face into the pillow.

"Stupid! You haven't tried to contact me since that day and you're trying to make my heart race again...."

Silas smiled when he saw that Chloe had already ended the call but the smile faded when remembered the actual for which she called.

"They really mean business, huh? It seems like I will also have to start making my preparation. I can't let myself be caught offguard. I need to start increasing my strength immediately and also increase the rank of my superpower. I also need to start making progress on my plan for Venezuela."

"Luna, can you track the location of Daniel and his team?"

{They are currently making their way back to their base.}

Silas nodded when he heard this and turned his attention to other things.

"Luna, what's the progress on creating the diluted version of the GES?" Silas asked.

The version of the GES that doesn't allow people to awaken their superpower is something that's very important to Silas' plan.

It's something that would enable him to create a world-class military that would instill fear into any world power.

Also, since the construction work on the underground facility will soon be completed, Silas was getting ready to put his plan into action and that plans involves equipping the country's military to the teeth.

{The research on the diluted GES has been completed long ago. This is the same with majority of the research,} Luna responded and Silas nodded in satisfaction.

"Good. That means we can start creating our enhanced soldiers as planned and we can also proceed with other things."

The first thing that Silas actually plans to do after landing is to go to the island and absorb dark energy, and to also add stat points to this stats.

Now that he thought of it, he doesn't need to get the island first before adding the stat points.

He immediately called up his status screen and the system points screen.

Silas' eyes widened in shock when he saw that amount of system points he has.

"16 billion system points?! That's a lot!"

He began to daydream about all the things he could possibly buy with the huge stock of system points he currently has.

Immediately his mood plummeted into the Abyss when he thought of even more expensive some items and knowledges in the system store are.

Excluding the one that is currently known, which is the [Teleportation] knowledge that costs 1 billion system points, Silas has also seen other items and knowledges that cost even more than it.

For example, there's a dreadnought class spaceship in the system store that costs more than 100 billion system points. Also, it's to be noted that the particular spaceship that was mentioned is the smallest of the lot.

There were spaceships that are almost half the size of Earth and some that would comfortably dwarf out a minor planet.

Yes, there's also a Titan class and Planetkiller class in the system store and their costs are unimaginable.

Silas was able to get all this information due to the fact that he had told much free time on his hand. He knew how excited he was the day he saw the spaceships in the system but his mood plummeted the next moment, when he thought of what it meant.

Differences exist and this is even between siblings. It serves as a form of motivation for whoever is behind to improve and get better but when the difference is huge and chasm-like, it causes despair.

Silas knew what the presence of those spaceships in the system store represented and it cemented his previous thoughts.

"Let's not jinx it. Earth is not yet ready for advance space travel and all."

Silas turned his attention to what he initially intended to do before he got distracted.

"I still have 268 stat points left from before, I can use it before exchanging system points for more," Silas said as he immediately used up the stat points left.

He added 56 stat points to his strength, 53 to his agility, stamina, intelligence and charisma.

Immediately after he added the stat points, Silas felt massive changes in his body and surroundings.

He felt a massive surge of power rushing into his body. He thought he could hear cracking sounda coming from his body, most likely his bones but he felt no pain.

His felt his body also become lighter, his thought process became faster and even more fluid.

These feelings were intoxicating to say the least as Silas felt like he is a caterpillar that's getting ready to evolve into the next stage but he still hasn't reached there.

Silas also noticed that some of the vague memories were starting to become a little bit clearer. It felt like the dense fog that obscure the memories were starting to dissipate slowly.

Even though the memories were starting to become clearer, Silas was still unable to make anything out of it.

This got Silas slightly curious and he couldn't help anticipate what he would see the day the memories became clear enough for him.

He also noticed that his perception has improved and has become better than it was before.

Silas has experienced a lot of changes with just sharing the stat points he had at hand before.

He called up his status screen to take look at it.

"This looks ok for now. I will add more when I get to the island. I don't want to accidental crash the plane just because I wanted to max out my stat points." Silas said as he put away his status screen.

Silas doesn't want a repeat of those aftermath that usually results from his impulsive decisions.

He looked out the window and enjoyed the view of the passing clouds that hung to the body of aircraft, as he thought of the future.

"Change is constant."
