Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

Chapter 105 105: Value Points

Once again, Divine who did not look much older than Corey called Corey a kid, causing him to furrow his brows.

He looked at Divine with a dead gaze and when he saw the small grin on his face, he so much had the urge to punch it.

Resisting the urge, he just looked at with an indifferent expression, not speaking a word to Divine, frustrating Divine once again.

"Come on man. Speak or at least change your expression.

It feels like I'm talking to a doll or a dead man at times.

Do you know how frustrating it is."

Divine spoke with a frustrated expression and tone, and Corey had the urge to smile but he resisted the urge and just looked at him indifferently.

Divine sighed seeing Corey's indifferent expression and with a defeated expression, he spoke:

"The Underworld is basically a prison which nobody can escape from."

Corey looked at Divine and when he did, he saw that Divine had a calm expression and Corey had the feeling that he was not bothered by what information, or to be more specific, he felt that Divine was indifferent towards what he just said about the Underworld.

'Strange.'

Corey thought and just as he had this thought, Divine perceiving his stare looked at him and cracked a grin.

"I know that I'm handsome but I don't swing that way."

Corey's lips twitched hearing Divine's words and once again, the urge to punch Divine's face emerged in his heart.

Divine chuckled softly when he finally saw Corey's change in expression and with a satisfied expression and tone, he spoke:

"Although the Underworld is a prison, it's more like a nurturing center for the top powers on Planet New Earth."

Divine spoke and this time around, Corey had a confused and curious expression.

"How did you get here?"

Divine asked, not continuing his previous words and as soon as he asked, Corey's eyes became a little bit colder.

"I was captured by a group which call themselves Fishermen."

Corey spoke and Divine nodded.

"Not surprised, that's how most are brought here."

Divine paused, then continued:

"The Fishermen are like slave traders. They capture unfortunate souls, bring them to the Underworld, then take the rewards given to them by Underworld."

"Like I said before, the Underworld is like a nurturing center for the top powers of the world.

There are times when somebody might fight somebody from the top powers of the world in the Amphitheatre.

Also, if somebody is strong enough or has a high number of value points, there is a chance that the person might be able to leave the Underworld and work for one of the top powers… That is if a top power is interested."

Divine took a pause, then snapped his fingers and from out nowhere, a plastic bottle appeared in his hands and in the next instant, he drank the liquid in the bottle then he released a satisfied sigh after drinking to his content.

Corey tilted his head slightly as he looked at the plastic bottle with a slightly confused expression.

"Where did you get that bottle from?"

He asked and Divine snapped his fingers once again, sending the plastic bottle back to his inventory.

"There are item shops in the Underworld and you get weapons, armors, consumables and stuffs like this there… Though they cost value points."

"Value points?"

Corey asked and Divine nodded.

"Value points represent how valuable you are to the Underworld."

As Kyle spoke, Corey noticed him glancing at his wrist and when he looked at Kyle's wrist, he noticed a silver watch on his left wrist.

"This is the watch of the Underworld. I can't say much regarding it but just know that you'll get one when you reach tier 1… It's inevitable."

Divine spoke with a nonchalant tone and just as Corey opened his lips to ask, Divine cut him off:

"I told you I can't say much regarding it."

Hearing his words, Corey reeled in his question and didn't say anything.

"Now let me talk about the value points."

"Like I said before, value points represent your value to the Underworld and it can be used to purchase stuffs, in fact, almost anything.

You're just a tier 0 human at the moment, so your value points is null, zero."

"You have to become a tier 1 being to gain value points.

Value points is basically the currency of us prisoners of the Underworld.

Not only can it be used to buy stuffs, it also represents your status in the Underworld.

If your value points is high enough, you'll have leeway in a doing a lot of stuffs cause the top powers would also be interested in you."

'This place is actually not as barbaric as I thought.'

Corey had this thought as soon as Divine finished speaking.

"How do you increase your value points?"

Corey asked and a grin formed on the lips of Divine, and he spoke only two words:

"Entertainment and Madness."

"What?"

Corey's brows furrowed and a confused expression appeared on his face hearing Divine's words.

Meanwhile, Divine with the same grin spoke once more:

"Although the Underworld is like a nurturing center for the top powers of the world, it's also a source of entertainment for them.

The more entertaining you are, the more madness you have, the more the audience would like you, and the more the audience likes you, the more value points you gain, and the more value points you have, the more respect, money and freedom you gain.

In the Underworld, there is no room for sanity, only madness reigns here.

Madness and Entertainment."

With a strange light in his eyes, Divine spoke in a tone that was louder than normal with his arms spread out.

Meanwhile Corey had a pondering expression after Divine spoke and some seconds later, he looked at Divine and spoke:

"How do I get to use the evolution center in the Underworld?"

"Since you're just tier 0 and you don't have value points, you must defeat five tier 0 humans."

Corey raised an eyebrow hearing Divine's words and with a disbelieving tone, he spoke:

"Just five tier 0 humans?"

His tone contained suspicion and disbelief since he expected to hear five tier 1 humans or something much more unbelievable.

"What do you mean just five tier 0 humans.

They are maxed out tier 0 humans.

And you'll have to fight one every five days."

Divine said with raised brows, his tone containing amusement.

Meanwhile Corey had a strange expression hearing Divine's words and he resisted the urge to comment.

'I guess it won't be long until I finally become a tier 1 being.'
