Death… And Me Chapter 982 - Integrated Runes

Chapter 982 - Integrated Runes

"Talking about upgrades, how about the World Essence? Are you not going to use it?" Roan asked Rean.

Rean shook his head straight away as he told him, "It takes a long time for it to acc.u.mulate because of the size of our Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. If I use the amount we have right now, I can barely create a few pieces of equipment. However, I've never used it before, so I need to have more than enough to run some trials as I will probably get defective products at the beginning. Last but not least, we just entered the Soul Transformation Realm, so we both need to increase our side occupations to Silver High-level."

Roan nodded as he understood what Rean wanted to do. "You want to become a Golden-level blacksmith first, am I right?"

Rean smiled in response, saying, "It's good that you understand."

Sister Orb couldn't help but ask, [But to enter the Golden-level, you'll need to enter the Elemental Transformation Realm first. That'll take quite some time, you know?]

It was then that Rean shook his head as he replied, "Wrong! The methods available here in the Realm of G.o.ds are a lot more advanced than the ones in the Realm of Mortals. When I combine them with my knowledge as a metallurgist and the Soul Gem Blacksmith Workshop's perks, Saint Realm will be enough to reach that level.." Rean seemed very confident. "My plan is to be a Silver Peak-level blacksmith and Formation Master by the time I reach the Peak Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm!"

[Is that so? I'm looking forward to it, then!]

Roan then changed the topic, saying, "Alright, let's go back to the system rewards."

Rean couldn't help but sigh, though. "Unfortunately, there isn't much for us to buy. The Energy Absorption Upgrade costs 50000 points. The same goes for the Dimensional Realm and Destiny Perception Range Upgrades. Other than the side occupation workshops and repositories, we only have the Soul Connection Range Upgrade that's worth 20000 Destiny Points."

Roan pondered in silence for a bit before saying, "I don't feel the necessity to upgrade the side occupation facilities at the moment. Because of all the materials available in the Realm of G.o.ds regarding alchemy, I already have my work cut out for me for quite some time."

Rean agreed with Roan, saying, "I did the upgrade for the Electrical Formations Repository because it was very cheap at this moment. I also don't think I'll need another upgrade anytime soon."

In the end, they only had two options. "The first option is to buy the Soul Connection Range Upgrade, which will increase the distance we're separated by to 10000 kilometers. The second option is to keep the 42728 points we have at the moment and wait until we reach 50000. At that time, we can buy one of the expensive upgrades available."

However, Rean and Roan had already decided what they wanted. "Let's go for the Soul Connection Range Upgrade. In a place like the Realm of G.o.ds, 3000 kilometers seem extremely small."

Rean couldn't help but add, "Haha! We didn't really want to save for Nascent Soul Revival, but we'll end up having enough points if we need to use it."

With that, the twins sent their request into the Soul Gem Orb.

[Soul Connection Range Upgrade level 4 – 20000 Destiny Points] (10000km)

[Confirm Purchase?]

"Yes!"

[Destiny Points: 42728]

[Initiating Upgrade...]

The twins then noticed how the light and dark threads, which left their souls and entered the Soul Gem Orb, began to change. Those threads didn't really exist in the real world, but they had always been there for the twins. In the end, it didn't look like those threads changed at all. However, the twins could tell that they were definitely much better now.

[Upgrade of Soul Connection Range concluded.]

"Now we can still use the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm features up to 10000 kilometers away from each other. There's a possibility that this might not even be enough to reach Huvol City..." Rean couldn't help but point out.

[It's fine. Just try to not move that far away from each other for the time being. Next time you upgrade the range of your Soul Connection again, it'll be a lot easier to deal with.]

Those words immediately piqued the twins' curiosity as they looked at the next upgrade.

[Soul Connection Range Upgrade Level 5 – 50000 Destiny Points] (100000km) (New)

"100000 kilometers, huh? That's quite impressive." Rean had to admit it was a very large distance.

However, Roan narrowed his eyes, muttering, "Another upgrade that costs 50000 Destiny Points. Things are really getting expensive."

Suddenly, the Soul Gem System's voice echoed in their minds.

[Upgrade of Circuitry Formations Repository concluded.]

Rean's eyes lit up as he saw the silver barrier covering the place disappearing. "Oh! Let me take a look."

He went inside and accessed the orb terminal as always. Immediately, Rean saw the new section of knowledge available in the repository.

[Introduction to Integrated Circuitry Runes.]

"Integrated Circuitry Runes?" Rean had to admit that he was a bit confused by the name. Naturally, he couldn't hold back and began to read it, making everyone else wait outside for several minutes. And that was only for him to read a very simplified explanation of the contents that were now available in the repository.

Eventually, Rean came out of the Circuitry Formations Repository as his eyes glistened. "This is great! The new runes I have access to will really make the Circuitry Formations go under a big transformation!"

Roan wasn't very interested, but he asked anyway. After all, he was sure Rean would talk about it even if he didn't, so why bother waiting? "Why?"

"It's called Integrated Circuitry Runes. Simply put, you can now craft Circuitry Runes inside Common Runes. So far, I had to make s.p.a.ce for both runes and connect them somehow, mostly through Electricity or Spiritual Energy. But now, such a thing will be mostly resolved with the integration. It's genius!"

Celis, who watched Rean work on those runes many times, more or less understood what Rean was happy about, saying, "That means your already small devices can be reduced even more. Or, to be more specific, you can add many more runes and formations into the same s.p.a.ce than you could before."

Rean nodded with a smile, saying, "Exactly!" He then looked at Roan and said, "Naturally, that also includes weapon inscriptions! Hehe! Just you wait for the time I get to forge our Golden-level White and Dark Stars."
