The abyss invades, I control the power of darkness

Chapter 8 Durability, man’s dignity...

He blinked and thought for a moment. The next moment, the shadow suddenly changed and turned into a sharp and slender shadow knife.

The shadow knife was suspended in front of him, shaking slightly.

Qin Jinnian's eyes lit up and he subconsciously wanted to chop something.

The shadow knife immediately rose up, almost reaching the ceiling.

But after raising the knife, Qin Jinnian was stunned again...

Turn around and look around...

There seems to be nothing to test the knife on?

…You can’t dismantle the things in your home, right?

Although, it has been destroyed once now.

Oh, by the way, this is not my own home, the house is rented... the furniture and other items also belong to the landlord... I have to find a way to deal with it later.

He is a student party member with no financial resources, and he is still a little worried now.

Thinking of this, the shadow knife fell back in front of him angrily...

Sure enough, poverty is the best restraint.

In the end, he just touched the shadow knife.

Cold, hard...

Well, it does seem to feel a bit different from the previous shadow-changing shadow knife.

It seems... a little colder?

After studying it for a while, he thought again.

"I don't know how far the shadow can reach now..."

Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked towards the window.

Then he was stunned...

It's bright outside, and if my dark shadow tentacles pop out at this time.

Then it is estimated that someone will come to your door soon...

"Forget it, let's try it again in a place where no one is around. Anyway, I felt it when I fought with Weird before. The maximum length at that time should be about four or five meters. And then the bugs came out, and I wanted to kill those Bugs, but the limit of the number of times the shadow can be split... is fifty."

"Now after the upgrade... it should become longer..."

He thought to himself.

But since there was no way to measure it right away, he could only let the shadow slowly return to his feet.

Then there was a wry smile.

"But the mental power is only ten points. Although it is more than before, it is limited... This is still a three-second man..."

Mental strength is the biggest problem now.

But now he doesn't even know how to improve his level.

What to do?

Qin Jinnian was a little distressed and subconsciously looked at the words on the panel.

However, after seeing this, he was stunned...

[Shadow Points -100, you upgrade the basic power ‘Shadow Control’. 】

[Basic authority 'Control Shadow', upgraded successfully. Current level: Lv: 1. 】

【Your ‘personality’ has been improved. The current ‘personality’ is the first level of awakening. 】

The next moment, his eyes suddenly widened.

Has your status been improved? !

He quickly looked at the spiritual item on the panel...

Sure enough, a plus sign appeared behind the mental item...

"..."

"So, personhood...is related to authority? Upgrading authority means upgrading personhood?"

His eyes lit up, and he quickly looked towards the shadow point.

There is still 117.29 left in the shadow spot.

Then I quickly found the authority item to see if I could continue to upgrade...

The result is that the plus sign is still there.

But click on the opening to show...

Only ‘Dark Eyes’ and ‘Shadow Bite’ can be upgraded.

‘Shadow Control’ cannot continue to be upgraded.

I don’t know how many shadow points are needed to upgrade ‘Shadow Control’ now?

He felt a little disappointed in his heart, but soon Qin Jinnian's eyes flickered on the 'Dark Eyes' and 'Shadow Bite', and he thought about it secretly.

After a while...

"Currently, Dark Eye seems to have only one passive that is more outstanding. All mental pollution originating from the dark abyss can be exempted. This passive is naturally extremely important... but since it is already there, it doesn't make much sense to upgrade it."

"Then let's shadow bite."

"Maybe it will increase the devouring speed, but not necessarily?"

Thinking of this, I immediately clicked on upgrading ‘Shadow Bite’ without hesitation.

[Shadow Points -100, you upgrade the basic authority ‘Shadow Bite’. 】

[Basic authority 'Shadow Devour', upgraded successfully. Current level: Lv: 1...]

It was almost the same as Shadow Control. When the 'Shadow Bite' was upgraded, Qin Jinnian's mind roared, and the next moment he seemed to see the scene that had disappeared after rushing.

This time he was prepared, and he quickly tried to see clearly.

But in the end, he only vaguely saw a piece of land wrapped in dark mist... Then, his mind was shaken by a series of roaring sounds.

Then I woke up...

Still couldn't see clearly what was in the darkness.

After being stunned for a moment, he became thoughtful.

But in the end, he looked at the panel without thinking too deeply.

Sure enough, Shadow Bite is already level 1.

The description hasn't changed either.

Now that there is nothing for him to eat, there is no way to actually measure the changes in 'Shadow Bite'. Is it speeding up the devouring process? Or does it strengthen the feedback after swallowing?

Of course, this is actually not the point. The point is...has the personality changed?

Qin Jinnian looked at the 'personality' item.

However, he discovered that his personality was still the ‘First Awakening I’ and had not changed in any way.

"So, it's about quality... not quantity?"

He exhaled.

In fact, he had expected it, so it was not that disappointing.

After all, he had figured out what a person was.

That's it.

Looking at the plus sign in mental strength, Qin Jinnian said without hesitation: "Add more points!"

[You use 2 attribute points, and your mental power +1...]

As soon as the text appeared on the panel, Qin Jinnian was startled.

The skin on the back twitched slightly.

Okay, actually it was somewhat expected.

Isn't this the usual routine of online games in previous lives? When the level is low, a certain point is exchanged for an attribute point.

The higher the level, the more certain points you need will increase...

It seems that there are not many attribute points nowadays.

Needless to say, after the cultivation level is improved, the vitality will probably need 2 attribute points to exchange for one vitality.

But there is no need to worry about these now. Let’s improve our mental power first. At least you can't be a three-second man.

With shadow control, his biggest shortcoming now is that he is not durable enough.

To make up for this shortcoming, it is worth paying more attribute points.

He hesitated no longer and continued to add more points.

[You use 2 attribute points, mental power +1...]

[You use 2 attribute points, and your mental power +1...]

[You use 2 attribute points, and your mental power +1...]

…

Soon, the mental strength reached 20.

But this is obviously not the limit of ‘First Awakening I’.

[You use 3 attribute points, and your mental power +1...]

You can add more.

But the consumption of attribute points has become 3 points...

Qin Jinnian's face suddenly twitched again.

After increasing his mental power to 20, his brain was clear at this moment, he was refreshed, full of energy, and felt unprecedentedly peaceful and comfortable.

But the attribute points have changed from 98.14 to 78.14.

The consumption increased by 1 point, but after Qin Jinnian hesitated for a moment, he gritted his teeth and continued to increase!

Mental strength is related to his enduring problems.

Men can do anything...but they can't do anything long-lasting!

This is related to the dignity of men.

As a result, the attribute points plummeted crazily, and the mental power increased little by little...
