Ascension of the Sylvan Cosmos

Chapter 41. [Break Through Berry] and Beast Tide.

Putting aside those thoughts, Liu Shu focused on her new system. There were quite a few things that caught her attention. The first of them was the number of maxed skills she had. 'There are a lot... Can I upgrade any of them?'

She looked and listed her max rank skills.

<Charm of the Seedling (F Rank Level MAX)>

<Nature's Gift (F Rank level MAX)>

<Woodcrafter (E Rank Level MAX)>

<World Tree Wisdom (SSS Rank Level Max)>

Liu Shu hummed. 'So... How much experience do I need for each of them to rank up? First the F Rank ones.'

[Do you want to use 326 Experience Points to Increase <Charm of the Seedling (F Rank Level MAX)> to <Charm of the Seedling (F+ Rank Level 1)>?]

'I see, so F Rank needs 326 Experience Points...' Liu Shu looked at the 1900 for Level Up that she needed with a thoughtful expression. Then, she checked Nature's Gift. 'Do all skills need the same at the same rank?'

[Do you want to use 326 Experience Points to Increase <Nature's Gift (F Rank Level MAX)> to <Nature's Gift (F+ Rank Level 1)>?]

Liu Shu hummed. 'They do.' She looked at Woodcrafter and also checked to remember how much she needed.

[Do you want to use 20,739 Experience Points to Increase <Woodcrafter (E Rank Level Max)> to <Woodcrafter (E+ Rank Level 1)>?]

Liu Shu groaned in her mind. 'So much...' Then, Liu Shu looked at World Tree Wisdom and pondered. 'Do I even look...?' She was afraid that her Tree Heart would suffer if she saw the number needed to increase the rank of that skill. After considering it for a while, she gave it a look.

'...'

Liu Shu closed the message just as it popped and then cried. 'H-How am I supposed to gather that much experience? T-This is impossible! QAQ!'

Even for a World Tree that was patient by nature, the number she saw struck fear in her heart. Liu Shu focused on her mind and chanted. 'Forget the number, forget the number! I don't even know how to call that number! I don't know numbers after hundreds of thousands! What comes next!? Thousands of thousands!? And after that?! I need to know even higher zeroes to spell that dreadful number! QAQ!'

After looking back at the 326 Experience Points for the F Rank skill, Liu Shu felt that it wasn't that unreasonable anymore. 'Hm hm. This pretty 326 is much better than whatever that was.'

That day, Liu Shu learned that big numbers are good, but only in good things like her stats.

'Anyway, I have almost no experience accumulated right now, so it doesn't matter much. So, only one thing left to check.'

Her gaze moved toward the new fruit that she could grow, the <Basic Breakthrough Berry>. 'Flor and the others would probably like it, right? But...' Liu Shu hummed. 'It can only increase tier to the F+ Tier... Whatever tier is...'

What she didn't know was that even if it could only increase <Tier> from F- to F Tier, it would be something that people would kill to have. <Tier> was usually the limitation of a person's future, or in other words, a combination of a creature's innate talent and potential.

To increase that would help not only that creature but also their descendants, who would be born with higher chances of being of a higher <Tier>. In other words, modifying <Tier> was modifying the bloodline of a creature and making all their descendants stronger.

Liu Shu was thoughtful, wanting to know what her current tier was. 'Can I eat this? System, what is my tier?'

She heard no answer, making her pout. 'Tell me~! System! Systeeeem! Tell meeee! Tell me, system!'
