《The Bloodline System 》Chapter 136: Buying An Item In Shop

"Even though you're a kind-hearted person by nature, there should be a limit and you have to understand that not everyone deserves your kind-heartedness," Gustav lectured.
'He sees me as a kind-hearted person?' Angy felt her heart flutter when she heard Gustav say that.
She turned to stare into his eyes which showed sincerity.
Gustav stood up and dusted his trousers after saying that.
"You're coming with me in the evening for the observation right?" Gustav asked while staring at Angy.
"Uhm, yes," She replied while standing to her feet also.
"Good, be prepared," Gustav said and turned around to open his door.
"Prepared for what?" Angy asked with a look of curiosity.
"You'll see when the time comes, go to bed," Gustav said as he walked into his apartment.
"Hmm, alright," Angy answered, "Good night Gustav," she added while turning around.
"Goodnight Angy," Gustav replied to her as his apartment door closed up.
Gustav got in and immediately went to shower.
Tonight had been a very long one for him. Dealing with the solar worms, managing to absorb energy from two energy crystals, killing more than a hundred of the solar worms and destroying their cave, lastly defeating the bunny mixed-breed.
His energy was nearly depleted in the fight against the level 5 and 6 solar worms but he regained it after leveling up several times.
If his energy was still low after leaving the border it would've taken him longer to deal with the bunny or he would have gotten defeated by it.
Gustav stood underneath the shower as today's events replayed in his mind.
He realized that there were lots of things he didn't put into account when dealing with the solar worms.
Also, after the second battle, he retraced the steps of the mixed-breed bunny to the east side of the border.

Both times he infiltrated the border was through the west but now he had decided to infiltrate the border through the east next time.
What still bothered him was the fact that the border on the east was also properly closed up. He didn't find openings of any kind yet there were signs that the bunny came from there.
It was almost as if it phased through the wall of green and red lines which Gustav believed was impossible.
Some mixed-bloods had the power of intangibility but security protocols were put in place for that. It was impossible to use that power to go in or out of the border.
Gustav felt like there was a mysterious force at work here. He decided he was going to tell miss Aimee about it but he had to think of a way to tell her without revealing some things.
'Open system interface,' Gustav said internally.

---------------------------------
Gustav stared at his stats with a look of gratification.
Although he only moved up by three levels this night, this was the fastest he had ever leveled up in almost five months.
When his strength stats got to fifty he felt a substantial increase in strength as if ten points were suddenly added but only one point was added in reality.
He clenched his fist with force, 'I never knew that a day would come where my strength would reach such a level,' Gustav recalled how pathetic he was about five months ago.

'This system has really turned my fate around but where does it originate from?' The origin of the system was a mystery that Gustav wanted to solve in the future when he became powerful enough.
He had tried initiating a conversation with the system severally but it still ignored him.
Remembering what happened on the mountain with the star slamming into the cliff area Gustav couldn't help but think that the system had alien origins but there was no way to confirm that right now.
'Add ten points to vitality and endurance,'
[Ten points have been added to Vitality]
[Ten points have been added to Endurance]
After adding points to both of the new stats, Gustav closed the system interface and opened the shop.

[Bloodline Items] [Bloodline Recipes] [Bloodlines] [Skills] [Abilities] [Training manuals]
-------------------------------
Gustav stared at the tabs that were displayed in the shop.
He had checked everything here during the day so he already understood what each tab on was for.
Bloodline items was where the system recommend items that would assist him in using his bloodline properly. It was like a guide.
Bloodline Recipes was where he could buy manuals that included different recipes and concoctions needed to improve his bloodline or the bloodline of others. Thousands of them had different purposes.
The Bloodline tab happened to be where he could buy different types of Bloodlines and have the system input it in him.
Skills and abilities just as their names implied were where he could buy different skills and abilities.
Training manuals was where he could buy different manuals that helped in training himself and this was currently the only tab that had items that he could afford currently.
The other tabs had crazy prices that Gustav couldn't afford right now. He knew it would take him some time before he could gather enough credit to purchase things from other tabs.
'I got a hundred credits from amassing one million EXP this night... It's pretty small but it's enough to get something for training,' Gustav said internally and proceeded to call for training manuals to open up.

Hundreds of them still extended further down.
Some of the items here were very expensive while some were very cheap but Gustav already set his sights on a particular one since when he first checked.
He couldn't buy it then but now he had enough credits to make a purchase.
"Purchase Energy control," Gustav muttered with an excited tone.
[Energy Control has been purchased]
[-100C]
A bright golden glow suddenly appeared in the middle of Gustav's forehead.
He suddenly felt a massive amount of information flowing into his mind.
The contents of this information were about energy control. Images, texts, and different scenarios flowed into his mind in waves all divided into several categories.
After a minute had gone by, these pieces of information had been completed downloaded into his mind.
"Wow," Gustav exclaimed with an astonished expression.
He didn't expect the information to be directly uploaded into his mind. When the process was happening he kept wondering, 'What if I forget it,' The information was pretty bulky so he thought he might forget a bunch of them before he managed to finish learning all but now that the process was over he didn't have those thoughts anymore.
The information was directly installed into his mind in such a way that he only needed one thought to picture everything.
He was sure that he wouldn't be able to forget it even if he tried to.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.

The White Room
A group of gamers are hired as guinea pigs to test a new VR system. None of them know what exactly to expect. Is the new system bing tested, or is it them? Are they just there for games, or is there a greater game being played? My first attempt at writing LitRPG. I I'm learning as I go and therefore will probably stumble over numerous cliches of the genre and writing in general. Definitely a work in progress.
