*DIIIIIIIIIING*

You have been granted the Trait: CHEATER (Tier MAX [5])!

CHEATER (Tier MAX [5]) - You have violated the System's generosity and will now suffer a 10% penalty to All PPP Gained, Stats Earned, and increased prices in the shop, per Tier [Max Five (5)].

The sound of the System seemed to elasticize and whine a bit before snapping back into clear and concise focus.

*DING!*

System Notice: You were not notified that there would be a penalty for doing modifications in the Body Shop. Therefore, you have been granted a reprieve.

You have lost the Trait: CHEATER (Tier Max [5])!

You have been granted the Trait: Frugal (Tier Max [5])!

Your Trait Genius (Tier 2) has evolved into Mad Scientist (Tier 4)!

You have been granted the Trait: Body + Mind = Soul (Tier 1)!

Frugal (Tier MAX [5]) - You have found a way to save more PPP than you had to spend. All further purchases in the Shop will cost Ten Percent (10%) less per Tier of this trait (Current: 50%).

Genius (Tier 2) evolved! Mad Scientist (Tier 4) - A Mad Scientist is not beyond going over every part of a system with a fine tooth comb, or combining what should be suicidally incompatible components with each other and making them work not just together, but flawlessly so. Increases bonus per tier from Five (5) Ingenuity and Five (5) Acquity to Ten (10) Ingenuity and Ten (10) Acquity per Tier (Current: 40). Reduces time to learn a skill by 15% per Tier (Current: 60%).

Ten Percent (10%) per Tier chance increase of Critical Success during Experiments (Current: 40).

Body + Mind = Soul (Tier 1) - Very few people can step on the path of cultivating the Body and the Mind, as the energies of Ki and Mana do not enjoy cooperation. You have found a way to get them to not just cooperate but enhance each other. You have unlocked the Personal Statistic: LIFESPAN. LIFESPAN has been rolled based on a maximum of Twenty (20). LIFESPAN has been set to Fifteen (15). LIFESPAN equals to a maximum age of Ten (10) Years per point of LIFESPAN. Adds an additional Ten (10) Years per point of LIFESPAN per Tier of this Trait (Current: 10).

If I am right and the Pools are based on ten times a statistic, then purchasing the Stat +1 is more Point efficient at all points compared to purchasing the Pool increase, he thought to himself. I should probably first check with the upgrading Racial Abilities, right?

Holy Mother of all Cheats! he thought. If I spend 250,000 PPP on this with Frugal, I'll have a 75% discount on all purchases in the Store, which would turn my remaining 1,166,872 PPP into the equivalent of 4,667,488... Now that really IS being Frugal with my points!
