Free Web NovelChapter 488: Chapter 278: Psychokinesis? Character Strength Under the Hero Template
’This place is definitely worth exploring, but there’s no rush.’
’I can set this aside for now.’
’I can explore it before I enter the next instance. I’ll need to get myself into peak condition before then.’
Beyond that, Fang Zhen could also see the path forward.
After the Dungeon Life Game’s upgrade, a character template module had been added.
Fang Zhen looked at the tiers within this module: Nameless, Ordinary, Elite, Hero, Epic, Legend, Demigod, and Eternal.
Fang Zhen’s template was currently Heroic Five Stars, and he now understood the significance of these tiers.
The path to improving himself in the future was to upgrade his character template.
He also came to understand the concept of the Extraordinary mentioned in the Curse Sealer legacy.
The Extraordinary Power mentioned within was actually more akin to a philosophical treatise that discussed the prospects of the Extraordinary path.
At the lowest Nameless tier, nothing could be decided autonomously; one had to simply follow the whims of their environment.
Any fluctuation in the environment could have an enormous, or even devastating, impact on a person at the Nameless tier.
The Ordinary tier represented common people. Their lives seemed stable, but their entire trajectory was almost predestined from birth.
The Extraordinary tier allowed one to transcend the ordinary state and enter a new state of destiny with more autonomy.
The legacy also mentioned the Hero tier, which it considered a state of destiny higher than the Extraordinary.
Within the framework of destiny, a Transcendent is simply no longer bound by the fate of the common masses. A Hero, however, has the ability to shape their own destiny, and can even change the fates of most Nameless and Ordinary people, as well as the course of the entire world.
Fang Zhen had originally assumed the Extraordinary section of the Curse Sealer legacy was a training guide, but it now seemed to lean more toward philosophy.
He made a mental note of this.
The powerful individuals among the Curse Sealers certainly had some real abilities; their understanding of the world was secretly similar to the character templates in the Dungeon Life Game.
Fang Zhen thought for a moment. ’My current state should have already surpassed the ordinary, gone beyond the Extraordinary, and reached the Hero state.’
’This is probably related to my own strength.’ fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
’And factually speaking, I did change the situation in the Zambein Kingdom. I also had a profound impact on the Curse Seal World, even influencing the destined path of the entire human population there.’
’In that sense, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to be called a Hero.’
’Alright, after resting for a few days, I’ll go explore the subspace recorded by the Star Stone I got from the Starfall Eternal Night.’
’But before that, I have a few things to take care of in the real world.’
’My apartment in this building no longer meets my needs. I need a large quantity of supplies and a place of my own to store them.’
’I also need to get my hands on a large sum of money to move forward with building my Skeleton Power Armor.’
In truth, the Exoskeleton Armor he planned to build wasn’t necessarily just for his own use.
He could build a primary suit of armor, powerful enough for his needs, and then construct a few secondary suits.
That way, after arming his sufficiently loyal subordinates—for instance, the Knights under him in the Zambein Kingdom—with this kind of alchemical armor, Fang Zhen could rest easy.
As for his subordinate Knights, he wasn’t worried about betrayal. If worst came to worst, he could just use his sermon ability and violent hypnosis to completely control them.
However, Fang Zhen still preferred to respect their personal will; it was better to win them over through normal means.
To achieve this goal, he would need to find some experts in mechanical engineering or a similar field to design the mechanical parts of the armor.
Additionally, he needed a large sum of money to purchase a villa.
A standalone villa would be best.
That way, he would have enough space to set up the Dungeon Life Game’s console and store his own equipment and supplies.
To buy a standalone villa like that in Xiahai, especially in a convenient location in the city center or a high-potential district, would cost over twenty million at the very least.
To acquire that much money, plus have enough capital to develop the Exoskeleton Armor he wanted, Fang Zhen would first need to gather resources in the real world.
Currently, Fang Zhen had two ways to gather those resources.
One was to sell some of the Gold he had on hand to Chen Baokun.
The other was to sell the items he had obtained, such as the Alchemy Ointment, to Zheng Yachen.
