…………

The Money-Seeking Spirit knows these six data points are the six abilities used to judge a spirit's strength. Has the system visualized them in numerical form?

Wait, putting abilities aside for now, why is the race mentioned above called the "Sai Fuhao"?

What does this mean? Aren't I a money-grubbing spirit?

Could it be the evolved form of himself that Xia Chen is researching?

Suo Cailing was suddenly startled, realizing this possibility that made his heart race.

So the Money-Stealing Spirit really does have an evolved form!

Regardless of the mode of evolution, the existence of the endpoint is certain, which reassured the previously skeptical Money-Seeking Spirit.

Putting that aside for now, Suocailing noticed another unusual thing about the panel: after all the attributes, there was a small plus sign.

Adding to that the consistent phrase "Click to upgrade," Suo Cailing had a rough idea.

It tried touching the plus sign next to [Speed], and a payment interface immediately appeared on the panel.

[1000 points will increase one attribute point. Do you want to buy?]

1000 is a little bit? It doesn't seem too expensive. I'll give it a try.

The Money Spirit agreed, and a flash of golden light disappeared, increasing its speed from 88 to 89.

But apart from that, nothing seems to have changed.

Suo Cailing tried jogging for a while, but it didn't seem to be much different from before. Could it be that the improvement was not obvious?

Suo Cailing thought it was very likely, and then decided to continue adding points. Anyway, it was 1000 points at a time, and he had enough of the million points he had to add 1,000 points.

Click again to increase speed.

[1000 points will increase one attribute point. Purchase? (Click to turn off notifications)]

After checking the box to turn off notifications, Suocailing selected to make a purchase.

Having to confirm every time is a bit annoying, so this system seems quite intelligent.

The second time he added points, the speed remained unchanged, so Suocailing continued to add points with his eyes closed.

Three times, four times, five times

It seems the speed has indeed increased somewhat?

continue!

The sixth and seventh

Sorry, you do not have enough points. Would you like to top up?

The seventh attempt to add points was interrupted by a system notification, leaving Suocai Ling somewhat bewildered.

A thousand per use? I've only used it six times and you're already short of funds?

Can't you do math? Or is there a system malfunction?

Suo Cailing opened the points balance interface, only to find that the points balance was only 778451.

It was dumbfounded; shouldn't it be over 990,000?

At this moment, it noticed an inconspicuous text below the points balance: [Points Consumption Records], and immediately clicked on it.

Then I saw my recent spending record for the points I had just spent.

It started out normally, 1000, 1000, then suddenly jumped to 10000, 10000, and then there were two spending records of 100,000!

Suo Cailing finally understood why he didn't have enough points to add.

Based on this pattern of price increases, the price will definitely reach one million starting from the seventh time!

Is this how you raise prices, you bastard!

Stop calling it the Godly Rich System and start calling it the Vampire System!

The spirit of the wealth-seeking creature trembled all over and immediately called for customer service to question it.

"System, what's with this stat allocation?"

Hello, the Godly Rich System is dedicated to serving you. Our algorithm is sound; please consider your own issues.

The money-seeking spirit understood; didn't that mean, "Isn't it because you haven't tried hard enough?"

This lousy system is infuriating!

The Money-Gathering Spirit was furious, but it couldn't do anything about the system, so it could only silently blacklist the stat-adding interface in its mind.

Let whoever wants to add this stupid point add it! If I add it again, I'm a dog!

Each system upgrade resets the starting purchase amount. Your experience has met the upgrade requirements. Do you want to upgrade the system?

The Money-Gathering Spirit: "."

Looking at it this way, it seems alright?

"No upgrade for now."

The Money Spirit remained quite calm. He hadn't even added points to the other five attributes yet. He wouldn't waste a thousand or ten thousand points, let alone spend 100,000 to add one point.

Back on the attribute point allocation screen, Suocailing allocated points to the other five attributes four times each before selecting the upgrade system.

…………

After spending over 200,000 points, Suo Cailing upgraded the system to level two, doubling the bonus for each breath to two yuan, and resetting the purchase amount for attribute points to 1000 points.

Apart from that, there were no other changes.

The next upgrade will require one million points, which isn't too far off, but Suocailing isn't in a hurry to upgrade right now.

It then looked at the last screen of the points mall: item purchase.

This interface is much more comprehensive, with a dazzling array of props that make your eyes dazzled.

Especially the string of zeros marked on the props, it made Suo Cailing's blood pressure rise.

"System, can you filter for items that are suitable for my current situation?"

[Dear host, the item shop offers filtering and search functions, and there are discounted items for sale every week. If you need the system to provide purchase suggestions, you will need to pay a certain commission.]

The Money-Gathering Spirit: "."

Here it goes again, this vampire is at it again!

With limited points available, and each point carefully considered, Suocailing is no longer willing to lavishly recharge.

"System, check the discounted items first."

As you wish.

The scene shifted, and the virtual panel in front of Suo Cailing jumped to another interface.

The interface only displays one product, named [Forced Exercise Device (Magic Edition)].

The price is 800,000 points, and that's after a 40% discount. In other words, the original price was 2 million points.

The Money-Seeking Spirit clicked its tongue slightly. It's really expensive. Such an expensive prop must be quite effective, right?

Clicking on the item's details reveals a text.

[Forced Training Device (Magic Version): After use, you will gain a state that can be turned on or off. When turned on, the body will enter a forced training state, which will increase the efficiency of various abilities by 200%, but will make you more prone to fatigue and hunger. The duration is 100 days.]

It looks good; it means that the training effect will be twice as good over a period of time.

Eight hundred thousand? It's worth the price!

After reading the message again, Suo Cailing suddenly had a bold idea.

"System, when forced training is activated, will adding points also increase efficiency?"

[Yes, but such a leapfrog instantaneous improvement may cause the host to suffer great pain.]

The system's response excited Suo Cailing even more.

It's not because it's a masochist or anything, but because forced training really does affect stat increases.

In other words, one point of improvement directly doubles into two points. If you had just bought the forced training device and then added points, the 6 points of speed you added would be 12 points, which is a very significant improvement.

It's a pity I didn't open the store first.

However, the Money-Gathering Spirit has nothing to regret. Having this system is already great, what more could it ask for?

It's decided, my goal in the near future is to buy this forced exercise machine!

After making his decision, Suo Cailing began to assess the gaps in his current situation.

I spent over 100,000 points to add more, and now I only have 660,000 points left, which is 140,000 points short.

These are items on weekly discount, which means there are almost seven days left before the discount ends.

Seven days is not enough to cover the breathing bonus alone, but if you add the savings you've hidden away, it might be enough.

Although it now has a trainer, and the trainer seems to be quite wealthy, the Money Spirit still wants to try to utilize the system on its own.

Xia Chen had given him a large sum of start-up capital, which was enough.

Moreover, Suo Cailing even vaguely felt that the origin of this system was related to him.

The hints from Gardevoir and Milotic, as well as the timing of the system's arrival, all point to this possibility.

Suo Cailing's feelings suddenly became a little complicated.

Xia Chen is so good to me, and I was so suspicious of him at first. I'm such a jerk!

In the dead of night, the money-grubbing spirit suddenly went into a daze.

…………

The next day, early in the morning.
