I really am a fortune teller

Chapter 123 I'll settle the score with you later.

This system received a new feature during the last upgrade, which you haven't yet discovered.

Wei Chen was already tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep, when the system inexplicably popped up with this sentence. Wei Chen blinked and said, "I also looked at the system panel you upgraded last time. It just added two attributes, bloodline and spiritual power, right? You still haven't told me what these two attributes are used for?"

"These two attributes mean you are a beginner-level five-star professional." The system's voice was like an electronic voice, but it was serious at this moment, without any jokes or cuteness: "Bloodline 1.2, spiritual power 2.7. When your spiritual power breaks through to 3, it means that you have entered the intermediate level of five stars."

"There are no units after 2.7 and 3. Honestly, you're really puzzling," Wei Chen said, frowning. "And if I want to improve, what should I do? Extract all the energy from that stone and put it into my spiritual power?"

"That's right." The system's voice was very rigid: "You can also increase your spiritual power through cultivation, but if you cultivate for a day, it can only provide you with a maximum of 0.001 spiritual power. Only through accumulation over time can your spiritual power be increased."

If you directly absorb 30% of the energy within the stone, you can convert it into spiritual power.

"What's the conversion rate?" Wei Chen asked, frowning.

"I just tested the energy inside that stone. It can provide you with a maximum of 0.1 units of spiritual power, which is equivalent to the result of three months of cultivation using the system," the system said calmly.

Wei Chen filled in the gap the system had mentioned. He frowned and asked with a puzzled look, "If I don't cultivate without the system, how much can it provide in a day?"

"It varies from 0.0001 to 0.0003." The system said coldly, "You should be grateful to have such a great system like me, which has always supported you and helped you train and cultivate. Otherwise, you would be a useless piece of trash now."

Even if your meridians have recovered now, this is the normal rate of cultivation.

After the system is upgraded, it can provide you with some conveniences in your cultivation, all of which are free. However, if you want to gain more, you can only continue to accumulate merit and upgrade the system.

Of course, you can also directly consume merit points to increase your spiritual power. Every 1000 million merit points can provide you with a 0.1 increase in spiritual power.

For a cultivator like you, it would be extremely difficult to cultivate your own bloodline abilities under normal circumstances.

Many fortune tellers are physically weak, but you currently have a bloodline of 1.2. With a bloodline of 1.2, you can also improve it with merit. It takes 1000 million merits to improve it by 0.1.

To be honest, your physical condition is not as good as that of Wu Chongjun.

Even Du Tianning is physically stronger than you. Do you think you can escape if you encounter something extremely dangerous in the future?

The system's sudden use of honorifics made Wei Chen feel somewhat uncomfortable.

But Wei Chen could keenly sense the essential problem here: the system was asking him for merit points again.

The system only shows such kindness when it comes to accumulating merit.

The saying "no one gets up early for nothing" perfectly illustrates this point.

However, Wei Chen quickly thought of another problem. He looked at the system with a puzzled expression and said, "Something's not right. Your intermediate-level upgrade pill only costs 1000 million to upgrade a five-star to a six-star, but it still requires 1000 million points of spiritual power to increase it by 0.1. Are you trying to rip me off?"

"The system is very aggrieved about this." The system's voice suddenly became cute: "First of all, the 1.2 or 2.7 you see on the attribute panel are just the upper limit. When you use spells or get hurt, your bloodline or spiritual power will decrease."

The reason your body was able to withstand the initial upgrade pill and the system didn't contact you before is that you had already reached the upper limit of the standard.

It can even be expanded further. That's why you can easily break through to five stars. But above five stars, your physical and stamina limits have been reached, and there's no way to improve further unless you use merit points to gradually increase them.

Of course, once you break through the five-star peak, you can use upgrade pills to directly upgrade to six stars.

You should know that many people are stuck at the five-star peak for their entire lives, but you only need to spend 1000 million merit points to easily upgrade to six stars.

Isn't this good?

The system makes a very good point.

Wei Chen nodded and said, "Then why is my body like this? Is it because my meridians were damaged when I was a child? Or is it a matter of my talent?"

"Talent," the system said calmly. "What that stone ancestor of the Wei family said is really true. Your body is the most promising person in human history to reach the nine-star level. If what he said is true, then you will become the hunter's favorite prey."

It's probably not a coincidence that your meridians were damaged when you were a child. It's just that your memory is completely blank, and I'm not quite sure what happened either, since I wasn't inside you at that time.

But after I scanned your body, I discovered a problem: the person who damaged your meridians and the person who poisoned them were not the same person; their methods were different.

The poison was only intended to suppress your recovery, and the poisoning occurred long after the damage was done—after your body was sent to Xihe Town.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Wei Chen was startled. "Isn't this a potential enemy?"

"But that poison is also easy to cure." The system analyzed calmly: "Moreover, this system believes that the person who poisoned you is your father, Wei Qingshan."

"That's impossible," Wei Chen couldn't help but say. But whether it was Wei Qingshan or not, the divine prophecy would be known with a test. Since the system dared to say it, it meant that it was already prepared.

Wei Chen took a deep breath: "It was Wei Qingshan who poisoned my meridians."

100%.

Why did he do this?

"Am I not his biological child?"

0%.

"He did this to hurt me, he hates me?"

0%.

"Could it be to protect me? That's so foolish."

100%.

This is really protection, but why protect him like this? Aren't they afraid he'll be ruined?

The system's voice came again: "Do you need the system to analyze this? If the system does analyze it, given the complexity of this incident, it will need to charge the host 500 million merit points at once."

Sure enough, no one gets up early without a reason.
