The System Is One Year Ahead Of Schedule, But It’S Not The End Of The World Yet!

Chapter 22: Breakthrough in Rank, Awakening of Exotic Ability!

After taking a glance at the main survival mission two, Chen Mo immediately looked at the subsequent system prompts.

[System Prompt: Congratulations to the host for successfully breaking through the realm and reaching Rank One Metahuman realm. As a reward, the host will receive 1000 survival points and one 'Random Exotic Ability Scroll'.]

"A random Exotic Ability Scroll? What is it for?"

[System Prompt: By using this scroll, you can randomly obtain a new Exotic Ability. The grade of this Exotic Ability can be either low or high. After obtaining a new Exotic Ability, you can choose whether to replace your current Exotic Ability with it.]

"I see. My current Exotic Ability is the SSS Level Space-Time Confinement. It's unlikely that any randomly obtained Exotic Ability would be better than it. I'll leave it for now."

Chen Mo immediately continued to look at the subsequent system prompts.

[System Prompt: Congratulations to the host for successfully breaking through the realm and reaching Rank One Metahuman realm. Your lifespan has increased. It has been detected that the host possesses two Origin Cores. Your first Origin Core has awakened its own Exotic Ability called 'Fire Control'. This Exotic Ability is evaluated as Grade A. Special reminder: Since your first Origin Core already possesses the SSS Level Exotic Ability 'Space-Time Confinement', please choose whether to replace it.]

"Your second Origin Core has awakened its own Exotic Ability called 'Object Manipulation'. This Exotic Ability is evaluated as Grade S!"

Looking at the system prompts, Chen Mo immediately carefully examined the descriptions of the newly obtained Exotic Abilities.

According to the description of the Fire Control Exotic Ability, as long as there is fire present, he can control it to a certain extent based on his realm.

The Object Manipulation Exotic Ability is even more useful. He can manipulate any object remotely, but it is ineffective against living beings and can only manipulate inanimate objects. Nevertheless, this ability is still very powerful, as it can control many more things than just fire.

Chen Mo couldn't help but think of the scene of cultivators manipulating flying swords. The feeling of using a flying sword to defeat enemies and collect their heads from a thousand miles away was quite satisfying.

However, in order to fully control and move objects with the Object Manipulation ability, it would still require a long time of practice and mastery.

After taking a look at the Fire Control ability, Chen Mo naturally gave up on this Superpower.

There was no way the Fire Control Exotic Ability could surpass the power of Space-Time Confinement.

As long as time and space were confined, even if you had extraordinary abilities, you would still be nothing more than a wooden puppet.

With Chen Mo's choice made, the Exotic Abilities possessed by his two Origin Cores were completely determined.

The Exotic Ability possessed by the first Origin Core is [Space-Time Confinement].

The Exotic Ability possessed by the second Origin Core is [Object Manipulation].

However, based on this experience, Chen Mo also understood that these Exotic Abilities could actually be replaced.

It wasn't a case of what it is now will always be what it is in the future. Obtaining new Exotic Abilities allows for replacements.

But ultimately, it was still more convenient to consume the Super Power Divine Fruit to gain an additional Origin Core.

Not only could it increase the upper limit of his Exotic Ability, but he could also possess multiple Exotic Abilities at the same time, making it much more enjoyable to use.

With Chen Mo's advancement in rank, his attributes were now as follows:

[Host]: Chen Mo

[Age]: 20 (Lifespan: 200 years, Eternal Youth)

The lifespan of a Rank One Metahuman is 100 years, but the two Origin Cores have provided Chen Mo with double the lifespan increase.

[Superpower]: SSS Level Space-Time Confinement + S Level Object Manipulation

[Skills (3/5)]: Healing Light (Grade A), Shadow Step (Grade A), Divine Purification (Grade S)

[Basic Attributes]: Constitution 4, Strength 4, Agility 4, Mental Power 4 (Adult attributes range from 0.75 to 1.5)

[Current Exotic Ability Rank]: Rank One

[Current Exotic Ability Points]: 140 points + 140 points

At 2 points in attributes, the Exotic Ability points are 5. At 3 points, there is an additional increase of 10 points. At 4 points, there is an additional increase of 15 points.

In other words, a single attribute of 4 points corresponds to 30 points of Exotic Ability. With all four attributes at 4 points, it would be 120 points of Exotic Ability. Combined with the additional 20 points from the Werewolf Bloodline, Chen Mo's Exotic Ability points reached a staggering 140.

Under the combined effect of the two Origin Cores, the Exotic Ability points reached a whopping 280.

The Exotic Ability strength of a Rank One Metahuman is only 100 points, while a Rank Two Metahuman has an Exotic Ability strength of 300 points. Chen Mo has just broken through to Rank One, yet he already possesses an Exotic Ability strength that is close to that of a Rank Two Metahuman.

It can be said that he easily surpassed a level.

However, Chen Mo's attributes are not yet at their limit.

He still has a lot of survival points that he hasn't used.

Just now, raising three attributes from 2 points to 4 points cost Chen Mo a total of 45,750 survival points.

After all, he just gained over a hundred thousand survival points. Even though he spent over forty thousand, he still has a whopping 82,709 survival points left.

But Chen Mo doesn't plan to continue using so many survival points.

Because based on the experience he learned earlier, the evaluation of surpassing levels will be better, and the higher his rank, the system's amazement at his various performances will definitely decrease.

He only needs to maintain his rank within the range required by the main survival mission.

If it weren't for the requirement of opening Main Mission 2, which requires all attributes to reach 3 points and Metahuman rank to reach Rank One, Chen Mo would rather keep his attributes at 95 points of Exotic Ability intensity and stay at Rank Zero.

But even if he has now advanced from Rank Zero to Rank One, the difference in the system's judgment is probably not too great.

After all, whether it's Rank Zero or Rank One, being able to deal with Rank Nine units that far surpass one's own rank is enough to shock the system and gain a significant rank difference reward.

So Chen Mo doesn't care too much about his current rank advancement.

After taking a look at his current Exotic Ability, Chen Mo immediately tried to use his Exotic Ability to manipulate objects from a distance.

The Superpower of manipulating objects is quite useful.

Each time he uses it, if the object he manipulates is relatively light, the consumption of Exotic Ability is very slow.

Chen Mo tried it out. For every 1 kilogram of the manipulated object, he needs to consume 1 point of Exotic Ability per second. In other words, if he wants to manipulate a 10-kilogram stone to hit someone, he needs to consume as much as 10 points of Exotic Ability per second.

So if the manipulated object is too heavy, the consumption rate of Exotic Ability is quite high.

This is still his level at Rank One. Otherwise, according to the level of Rank Zero, he would need to consume 1 point of energy per second to manipulate a 1-pound object.

After obtaining the ability to manipulate objects, Chen Mo had imagined the possibility of moving mountains and carrying mountains. Now it seems that it is basically impossible unless his Metahuman rank is high enough.

Although manipulating heavier objects is not feasible, when manipulating something light like a blade, which is highly lethal, the consumption of Exotic Ability is quite low. However, Chen Mo found that if he wants the object to move faster, it will also increase the consumption of Exotic Ability.

In other words, if he wants to throw a blade at a high speed, even if the blade is light, the consumption of Exotic Ability will still increase significantly.

Basically, increasing the object's speed by 1 meter per second will double the consumption of Exotic Ability.

If he wants the object to fly a hundred meters in one second, the consumption of Exotic Ability will increase a hundredfold. The speed of the throw is astonishing, but the increase in the consumption of Exotic Ability is also very exaggerated.

Of course, there is no need to be so exaggerated to kill a unit with a blade at high speed.

A speed of ten meters per second is already enough to make it difficult for an ordinary person to react.

But compared to the monsters in the post-apocalyptic world, this speed may still not be enough.

So although the ability to manipulate objects is rated as S Level due to its high potential, it is still not easy to apply this ability effectively in the early stages. It requires a lot of practice and control in order to unleash a decisive strike with the Exotic Ability to manipulate objects at critical moments.

By saving the consumption of Exotic Ability, it can also achieve a very good effect.

After trying out the newly acquired ability to manipulate objects, Chen Mo is quite satisfied with its development prospects. Therefore, he did not use the random Exotic Ability scroll he obtained earlier to try randomly replacing it with a new Exotic Ability.

He plans to keep it for now and use it when he has the opportunity to switch to the Exotic Ability unlocked by the Super Power Divine Fruit after opening the third Origin Core.

After conducting the Exotic Ability experiment, Chen Mo looked at the time and realized that it was already 1 o'clock in the morning. He still has a part-time job with a wealthy woman tomorrow, so he freshened up and prepared to sleep.

Although he has the invincible stamina of a werewolf, he still needs to replenish his mental energy.

And besides replenishing physical energy, sleep is actually more effective in restoring mental energy.

Today, Chen Mo treated Lin Xinru and Zhao Haizhi, which consumed a lot of mental energy. Because his own attributes are strong enough, he can appear as if nothing happened, but the depletion of mental energy is real, and he still needs to replenish it through sleep.

This sleep was very sound, until the next morning at 8 o'clock, the system prompt for the daily mission sounded, and he woke up from a sweet dream.
