...

In the end, Jem was able to gain 450 points after trading all the valuable parts. He also did not forget to keep the Beast Core.

"Phew!" A huge sigh left his mouth after dismantling the beast for all the valuable parts.

Thanks to his new left hand, the disassembling was pretty much done faster.

Jem did not waste his time; he went directly to browse his Trading Shop to obtain the [Smite] ability. "150 Trade Points…" Jem muttered to himself. "Expensive!" he exclaimed.

"Probably because it increases the power of the item, it should be the reason for its cost," he mumbled.

Thankfully, he got a bountiful haul. His current balance is 450. He would probably get a total of 500 Trade Points if he traded all the meat. But he had to keep some. Regardless, spending 150 for the [Smite] ability could still leave him with 300 points.

[Learn the Smite Ability for 150 Trade Points?]

Jem confirmed by tapping the <Yes> option.

[Smite Ability successfully learned!]

The same thing happened to the Intimidation Ability and Stretching Arm Ability; the information regarding the Smite Ability also suddenly registered in his mind.

No matter how many times, it still puzzled him how the information suddenly appeared as though he only forgot it

Nonetheless, he still has 300 points.

[Spend 100 Trade Points to promote your Exo Points?]

Jem confirmed.

[Exo Points: 2 >>> 3]

He also promoted his Exo Points for 100 Trade Points. Now Jem was left with 200 points.

He checked his Status System once again.

[STATUS SCREEN]

Exo Points:3/10

Ex-Energy: 5/110

Ascendance Points: 11/100

Trade Point/s: 200

Skill/s: Fortification; Intimidation; Stretching Arm; Smite

Jem was unaware that his mouth curved into a smile. Finally, his Exo Points had raised to 3. At this rate, every time he ascended in the future, he would get an additional 3 Ascendance Points. Just that, the next upgrade needs 1,000 Trade Points!!? Holy cow!

Jem sighed. There's nothing he can do either way.

Though it was a difficult challenge to survive in this dungeon, Jem was motivated to continue. Especially whenever he sees he's improving, little by little.

Only 200 points were left on his Trade Points after he promoted his Exo Points.

"200 Trade Points?"

"Should I buy the Furious Fangs in the Prosthesis Parts?"

Jem asked himself and pondered. He tried to balance the cons and pros of buying it. Besides for eating purposes, it seems to have less importance.

'Also, weren't fangs uncomfortable to have? There is a tendency to hurt my mouth because of it.'

<No, Host. You don't have to worry about that. All the things available in the prosthesis parts are modified so that they won't discomfort the host.>

His trusted partner had once again replied to his self conversing.

"I see, but. Aren't I going to look like a monster because of it?"

<If that what worries the Host, then I confidently say there's no need to worry about it, Host.>

Jem squinted his eyes, "What do you mean?"

<Much better if the Host figure it yourself.>
