Ascension of the Sylvan Cosmos - Volume 1

Chapter 105. Sirol City.

"You are going to do what?"

Liu Shu asked Flor, confused. 'What's wrong? Why are you surprised?'

Flor looked at the World Tree with a confused look. "Didn't you Level Up not long ago? You are going to Level Up again?"

Liu Shu said cheerfully. 'Yes! I have accumulated 4,845 Experience points! And I need 4070 to Level Up! So... I can Level Up again.'

Flor blinked a few times and crossed her arms in thought. 'Hm... I think we got discovered because Liu Shu Leveled Up in the past. However... This time, it should be much less noticeable since there is no quest completion, and she isn't going up two levels at once.'

Flor nodded after a few moments of thought. "Well, I guess you should. But, aren't any of your skills at the cap?"

Liu Shu hummed and looked at her system page. 'Well, <Charm of the Seedling> is at F+ Rank Level Max. <Mind Call> is at F Rank Level Max!'

"Then..." Flor asked. "Why not Level those two first?"

Liu Shu was confused. 'Why?'

Flor paused, feeling that they'd had this conversation, but backward. 'Right. Didn't I even recommend to her in the past to do the opposite? Level Up first to store Experience Points faster...'

The Rose Fairy Queen realized that she almost stopped Liu Shu from Leveling Up because she felt that she was growing too fast. 'Reluctance? Is this what I am feeling?'

The fairy frowned and sat on one of Liu Shu's branches. Liu Shu noticed her mood change and asked curiously. 'Is something wrong, Flor?'

Flor shook her head and smiled. "Nothing, I got a bit confused. Go on and Level Up. Speaking of which, how much experience do you need to break the limits of each of those?"

Liu Shu answered while looking at the system messages. "I need... 326 Experience Points to increase from F to F+ Rank and... Oh.'

Flor heard the surprise in her voice, and her intrigue increased. "How much from F+ to E-?"

Liu Shu muttered. '2,595...'

Flor's lips twitched. "That's quite a lot."

The World Tree realized something and asked, confused. 'Speaking of which, aren't your skills as expensive to Rank Up?'

Flor laughed. 'It's not like I've ever ranked up any of my skills. All the Experience Points that I gained during my entire life have gone to my Level. It is the same for almost all creatures. Spending years' worth of Experience to increase the effects of one skill by one notch is not something many do. Only from F- to F is quite affordable for the average creature, which is around 15 Experience Points. However, other than that? 350 Experience points is quite a lot. Over those numbers..." Flor laughed. "I didn't even bother checking when I had an F+ Rank skill at Max Level."

Liu Shu understood the logic behind that statement. Creatures that made more than 4 Experience Points daily were considered talented, so 350 Experience Points were almost three and a half months of experience gathered or more for most. Not to mention the 2600 needed to go from F+ to E- Rank.

While thinking of this, Liu Shu realized something. 'Oh, right. The Experience Points you can give me have already reached the max, right? 26 Experience Points, so... Leveling Up will increase my Experience gains by 1?'

Flor smiled a bit sadly. "Sorry I can't be more useful, Liu Shu."

The World Tree was flabbergasted and asked, 'Huh? What do you mean? If I were alone, I would be earning 6 Experience Points daily; with you, I earn 32! That's more than five times what I would earn alone!'
