Max then introduced his step-mothers and his unconscious father to old man Raku.
When he introduced Garima and the old granny, old man Raku looked at them curiously and asked.
“If you don’t mind, can you tell me what their cultivation level is? They have very powerful presences.”
Max glanced at Garima and the old granny, who nodded. He then smiled while pointing at Garima, “This beautiful lady here is a king ranked mage, the same as Rima’s master.”
He then pointed at the old granny. “As for her, she is an emperor ranked mage.”
“What?!”
Old man Raku’s jaws dropped when he heard this.
A moment later, he hurriedly bowed toward them. “I apologize for the lack of hospitality, seniors.”
Garima didn’t say anything as she didn’t care about it much. As for the old granny, she smiled, “It’s alright. You don’t need to apologize for such a small matter.”
Old man Raku nodded and then gave Max a slightly stern stare. “Boy, why didn’t you inform us about them? I would’ve brought Arya and little Arya’s parents to welcome them.”
Although he acted angry, everyone could see he was struggling to keep a smile appearing from his aged face. However, it was understandable.
If their city had another king ranked mage and an emperor ranked mage, everyone’s safety was basically ensured unless an emperor ranked or stronger demon came. And the possibility of this happening was almost zero, especially in the war’s early stage, which would probably last for several months, if not years. So how could he not be happy?
Max chuckled wryly. “I wanted to surprise you guys.”
“Alright. Let’s go inside now. You guys must be exhausted.” Old man Raku changed the topic and shouted at the guards, “Open the gates!”
The guards acknowledged his command and opened the gates to let the carriages enter the city.
After that, Max’s family was led to a newly built mansion near the city lord’s mansion, although it wasn’t as big or as majestic as the latter.
When they arrived at their ‘new home’, they found Arya, Elena and Ryan, little Arya’s parents, standing there to welcome them.
Max knew old man Raku must have told them about Garima and the old granny. That’s why they came here.
Elena happily greeted Max’s step-mothers and then bowed to Garima and the old granny.
“Welcome seniors. Your presence here is very relieving.”
Ryan also greeted them before sending Max a telepathic message, [Aren’t you a hotshot, kid? You even know such strong mages.]
Max just chuckled in response.
After a while, everyone excused themselves and went to mind their own businesses. Max’s family also settled down in the mansion.
After two hours, Max was lying in his bed, looking in the air in front of him.
[Lust Points: 5000]
[Kill Points: 250,000]
[Shop Points: 9000]
“Only 250,000 Kill points, huh?” He muttered, looking at his status screen. After killing dozens of three-star demons, he only obtained 250,000 Kill points.
His shop points, which had also fallen to eight thousands after buying grade four talismans, rose to 9000 after he sold all the three-star demon cores they got after killing the demons.
‘I need over 1.6 million Kill points before I can buy the [Drop of Life].’ He thought, his brows knitted together tightly. ‘It won’t be easy.’
He thought for a while and asked, ‘System, how many Kill points would I get if I kill an early-stage four-star demon?’
[It varies from person to person, but let’s say the host kills the weakest four-star demon. In this case the host should gain around 20-30 thousand Kill points.] The system answered.
‘What if it’s a normal early-stage four-star demon?’ He asked, frowning. Why were the kill points so little while the items he needed to buy so expensive? Is the current system also like that old man?
It was as if the system knew what Max was thinking. It didn’t answer Max and said,
[Host, please don’t compare the system to that worm. As the system previously said, the system is bound to the host’s soul and can’t have any negative thoughts about the host.] The system sounded hurt and angered.
“Eh? Okay. Sorry… I guess.” Max mumbled.
The system went silent for a while and then explained, [The reason the host isn’t getting many Kill points is because a big chunk of them is going to the system to help it upgrade. Right now, the system is at level 1. When it levels up to level 2, the host would start to receive more points.]
‘Hm? You mean the system is going to become even stronger?’ He asked, feeling excited. Would there be any other functions that would appear with the upgrade?
[Yes, host. At level 1, the system can only extract 50% of the maximum LPs and only 30% Kill points. After the system levels up, it’ll be able to extract 60% LPs and 50% Kill points.] The system answered.
‘There won’t be any new function upon leveling up?’ Max asked.
[No, host. System’s primary function is to provide LPs, Kill Points and *******. So, there won’t be any new function.] The system answered.
‘Hm? What did you say after Kill points?’ He asked, because the system’s voice had become jumbled at that moment.
“…”
The system kept silent, not replying.
Max waited for a while and when he was sure the system didn’t want to answer, he sighed and asked, ‘Can you tell me how long it would take for you to level up?’
[This depends on the host. If the host kills more people or has more sex, the system will level up sooner. If not, it will take a long time. But for a reference, if the host keeps the pace of the last week, it’ll take just over a year.]
‘So, I need to put more efforts, huh?’ He thought and then asked, ‘You didn’t tell me how many Kill points I would get if I kill a normal early-stage four-star demon?’
[40-50 thousand Kill points, host.]
‘Hm? So, I would need to kill almost 32 early-stage four-star demons to obtain the remaining 1.6 million Kill points.’ Max thought and then said after a while,
‘Alright, system. Add all the Kill points I have to my mana and all the LPs into intelligence.’
