All My Superpowers Come from the Law of Causality-Chapter 151: The First Max-Level Superpower
Su Xin helplessly said:
"Alright, you all continue searching. Make sure the list is as long as possible. Also, do not include Celestial Kingdom citizens anymore; look for foreign ones and keep the aid amount under eight hundred thousand."
After dismissing the female secretary, Su Xin glanced at the list with a series of amounts rising to several million, only able to force a bitter smile:
"No wonder the Celestial Kingdom—prices are so much higher than Wanghai Country, even the donation amounts for critically ill patients are so high, easily reaching millions."
"If each donation is millions, the result can only be earning dozens of karma points each time. I'm afraid even with ten billion, it won't generate ten thousand karma points."
"Poor countries are still better."
A while later, the female secretary walked in again with a USB drive, handed it to Su Xin, and said:
"This is the initial screening based on medical data from various countries. The list has two thousand people, all critically ill patients. Mr. Su, does this work for you?"
Su Xin opened the file and scanned the list, satisfied, he nodded:
"Alright, continue with this standard."
Once the female secretary left, Su Xin started transferring funds according to the accounts and amounts on the list.
"Ding! Acquired 45 karma points."
"Ding! Acquired 66 karma points."
"Ding! Acquired 51 karma points."
"Ding! Acquired 63 karma points."...
He donated the full amount to everyone directly.
Although this approach had a low cost-effectiveness, sometimes, you can't just look at the cost-effectiveness of money and karma points—you also have to consider the time spent on the entire donation operation.
If he spent a lot of time donating only twenty thousand to each target, he probably wouldn't earn too many karma points after a whole day's work.
The key was that the donor recipients' list probably couldn't be sufficiently assembled in a short time.
Su Xin didn't feel like bothering.
After all, the money was gleaned from others, spending it didn't make him feel pained at all.
Moreover, when the money runs out, he can easily find an excuse to stir up conflict and continue gleaning...
With Su Xin's consecutive donations, his karma points skyrocketed.
Ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand, fifty thousand...
By evening, he finally emptied the ten billion in his account, not a cent left.
In between, Deng Zhongquan personally delivered a short blade to him, yet he barely acknowledged the other, just took the blade and sent him away.
The feeling of rapidly rising karma points, along with the continuous prompt sounds in his mind, made him fall into a long-lost fervor.
He only snapped back to reality when his phone notified him of insufficient account balance during the last donation.
"Finally done..."
Su Xin exhaled deeply and opened his personal panel to check.
[Name: Su Xin]
[Superpowers: Concealment Prayer LV4, Unyielding Dead LV3, Other-Transformation LV3, Damage Transfer LV3, Self-Deception LV3, Sword God Slash LV3.]
[Karma points: 152,365.]
"One hundred fifty thousand karma points!"
"Great! Finally, I can upgrade again!"
Su Xin showed a face full of excitement and immediately issued a command in his mind—
"Concealment Prayer, upgrade!"
"Ding! Concealment Prayer upgraded to LV5!"
"Please choose from the following two characteristics: 1. Infinite Crossing, 2. Space-Time Mark."
[Infinite Crossing: The precursor action of clasping both hands can store energy; each second of stored energy geometrically increases the limit distance for teleportation.]
[Space-Time Mark: When fulfilling the superpower precursor condition, can instantly teleport, also can record a space-time mark and store it; upon releasing the space-time mark under any condition, can teleport directly. If multiple space-time marks are released simultaneously, the limit distance for teleportation will be multiplied accordingly.]
"Ding! Concealment Prayer has reached max level!"
"Ding! Congratulations host, for gaining the first max-level superpower, you have exited the newbie protection period and within 72 hours can choose any time for system upgrade."
"Prompt: System upgrade will result in several changes, the following are the main functional changes—"
"1. Increase the superpower slot setting, the upper limit of the number of superpower slots equals the highest superpower level. "
"2. Activate infinite upgrade function, after a superpower reaches LV5, each level up requires karma points, starting with a base of one hundred thousand and incrementally increasing, but post-LV5, no new characteristics will be acquired, only current attributes can be enhanced."
"3. Superpowers can be voluntarily forgotten."
"4. Change task trigger mechanism, add a prerequisite: having a spare superpower slot."
"5. Change upgrade mechanism; the karma points required for upgrading LV5 and below levels are fixed at ten thousand."
"6. Add a characteristic refresh function; when a superpower is upgraded, spend the karma points consumed during the upgrade to randomly refresh the options for upgrading characteristics."
"Please Note: After the system upgrade, if the superpower quantity exceeds the highest superpower's level, please choose to forget the excess number of superpowers within one hour, otherwise random forgetting will occur automatically."
Listening to the string of system prompts echoing in his mind, Su Xin was instantly stunned.
"LV5 is the max level?"
"The system can still level up?"
"Have I left the newbie protection period?"
"There's still a limit on the superpower slots?"
The information in his mind was overwhelming, and all were bombshell news, leaving him momentarily bewildered and his head spinning.
After a while, realizing he could choose any time within the next 72 hours for the system upgrade, he decided to set aside the upgrade and first study the new features acquired from the upgrade.
First is the Infinite Crossing feature.
After Su Xin carefully read the feature introduction, he couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, "Damn."
With each second of charging, the instant teleportation limit distance grows exponentially.
The normal instant teleportation limit distance is ten kilometers; charging for one second reaches twenty kilometers, two seconds reaches forty kilometers, three seconds is eighty kilometers, four seconds is one hundred sixty kilometers...
Charging for ten seconds equals 10,240 kilometers.
With eleven seconds of charging, he could directly cross back from the Celestial Kingdom to Wanghai Country, almost the farthest distance on White Mountain Star.
Charging for sixteen seconds could reach Crescent Star.
Charging for thirty-one seconds, he might be able to leave his current fixed star system altogether...
Of course, the limit distance is just that, a limit. Concealment Prayer is essentially a random instant teleportation. Even with one-hour charging, it might still only teleport one meter.
But with this limit distance, his range of activities would be much larger than before.
More importantly, with the existence of Space-Time Anchor Points, after charging, as long as the Space-Time Anchor Piints were within the range of the growing limit distance, he could perform precise teleportation through them.
Before leaving Wanghai Country, he had left two Space-Time Anchor Points in Lening City. Under normal circumstances, he couldn't directly return to Lening City through these Anchor Points, as the distance far exceeded the Concealment Prayer's limit.
But with the Infinite Crossing feature, he could use charging to continually expand the limit distance until the Anchor Points in Lening City were in range, allowing him to teleport back precisely.
It was much more efficient than previously spending almost an hour to reach the Celestial Kingdom.
It only took eleven seconds.
It can be said that with the Infinite Crossing feature, the importance of Space-Time Anchor Points increased significantly.
As long as he left a Space-Time Anchor Point at home, no matter if one day he reached the end of the universe, he could teleport back with charging.
In Su Xin's view, it was much more practical than any previous features of Concealment Prayer. If placed together with any previous feature, he would undoubtedly choose Infinite Crossing without hesitation.
But after reading the introduction of the second feature, Space-Time Mark, Su Xin became extremely conflicted.
The Space-Time Mark feature is very simple.
When hands are clasped, he can choose to teleport directly as before or choose to leave a Space-Time Mark.
Releasing this Space-Time Mark at any time, he could teleport instantly.
This effect essentially separates the precondition and result of this superpower. After meeting the precondition, he can achieve the result at any time, which can be understood as delayed teleportation. He could clasp his hands now and teleport tomorrow morning or at any other time.
Crucially, there was no mention of quantity limits for storing Space-Time Marks in the introduction, which clearly implies being unlimited.
He could perfectly perform the clasped hands action thousands of times in advance. At any moment afterward, he could teleport as freely as he wished.
In a sense, it also meant breaking away from the precondition of clasping hands.
In the two days of arriving at the Celestial Kingdom, although he acted as if he was bold and carefree, he always wore a black robe to hide the drawback of needing to clasp hands to teleport. On some inconvenient occasions, he deliberately avoided teleporting.
It was all to conceal the hand movement.
But with the Space-Time Mark feature, he no longer needed to intentionally avoid this point.
He always thought the clasped hands precondition of the Concealment Prayer super annoying, always hoping one day a feature would appear to help him avoid it.
Today, that feature finally appeared.
Another crucial point, the Space-Time Mark not only helped him to some extent free himself from the clasped hands constraint, making his teleportation highly flexible but also increased the instant teleportation limit distance.
With enough Space-Time Marks, he could also achieve fast crossings on the entire White Mountain Star.
Of course.
Given the twenty thousand kilometers distance between Celestial Kingdom and Wanghai Country, Su Xin needed to use two thousand Space-Time Marks, and to accumulate these marks wasn't a short time.
But compared to the previous teleportation method, the advantage is in having the Space-Time Marks ready in advance and using them as needed for instant arrival.
Another advantage is each teleport before was random, but with Space-Time Marks, it stacks the teleportation limit distance directly until it includes the Space-Time Anchor Points in Lening City, then uses pinpoint teleportation to arrive.
In practice, it is much faster.
And multiple times more convenient.
Both Infinite Crossing and Space-Time Mark features are very practical and extremely enticing to Su Xin.
But he could only choose between the two.
The former had more potential in teleportation distance, possibly allowing travel across the entire universe.
The latter made teleportation methods extremely flexible, eliminating the biggest drawback of this superpower.
The crux of Su Xin's dilemma is—
Currently, he favors the latter more.
But he also thinks that someday when he gets tired of staying on White Mountain Star and wishes to explore the universe and seek out other cosmic civilizations, Infinite Crossing would give him more chances to realize that idea.
