Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

"What do you think?!"

"makes sense……"

Charles chuckled awkwardly, not immediately explaining the situation, but instead looking at Alfia and asking:

"How are you doing now?"

"I?"

Alfia clenched her fist: "Your strength is around level 4. Hmm... This is your body, right? Why are you asking me?"

Ciel succinctly stated, "Try using your original magic."

Alfia realized something and murmured, "Peace of the Soul."

An invisible barrier of sound appeared around Alfia.

"Ok?"

"As expected." Charles slowly sat up, lifted his skirt, and sat cross-legged on the rock with an air of authority.

"..." Looking at herself with her long, white legs exposed and looking nonchalant, Alfia's eyelids twitched wildly: "Speak quickly."

"Let's start with the [Soul Exchange] spell."

Charles raised his index finger: "The characteristic of [Soul Exchange] does not change our souls. Our abilities in terms of magic and skills are replaced with the exchange of souls."

"In other words, if nothing unexpected happens, I should currently be a 'Charles' at level 7."

"And you are Alfia, who possesses the exceptional attribute of level 3."

Alfia crossed her arms: "So, something unexpected still happened?"

"Ahem—" Charles scratched his face awkwardly: "That's right."

"The skill 【Old Deng Reincarnation】can accidentally reset your level and attributes to zero, and even shrink your age. If nothing unexpected happens, you should only be at level 1 now."

Charles looked down at the ground.

Ok……

At such a young age, he already possesses great talent and ambition; he is destined for a good future!

"Boom!"

The precise hand chop fell once more.

Ciel clutched his head, explaining with a tearful face:

"The benefit is that your body has also undergone a transformation due to the skill. Although your appearance hasn't changed much, there's no doubt that you've been reborn."

"Reincarnation? What kind of benefit is that..." Alfia frowned for a moment, then slowly widened her eyes:

"That is to say..."

Charles snapped his fingers: "Yes, your 'illness' is gone!"

Alfia's breath caught in her throat as she stared at Charles in disbelief: "You really did it?"

“Ah… the price is a bit high.” Charles shrugged: “Resetting your ability value and level to zero means you need to spend time getting stronger again. If nothing unexpected happens, it will probably take you quite a while to climb back to level 7.”

Charles also secretly felt lucky.

If I hadn't performed a soul exchange beforehand and had triggered the reincarnation of [Old Deng] myself, I feel like I would have been at a huge disadvantage.

Not only were months of hard work wasted, but all that was gained were three additional development abilities.

but……

I think I flipped the table...

Should we consider resetting our ability stats as well?

Shelving this idea for now, after the great struggle ends, there will be a whole year of buffer period. Xia Er felt he could make a move and slowly develop his strength.

There are also drawbacks.

No matter how high your ability value is, without the level amplification factor, you will ultimately be inferior to others.

The key to the problem lies in the act of "flipping the table".

Regardless of whether [Old Deng's Reincarnation] triggers [Table Flip] first or later, the effects of [Table Flip] will theoretically be overwritten.

However, according to Xia's understanding of "table flip" in Cloudtop, it means freeing up all pieces and returning double the gold coins, which can be stored!

So he decided to first see how Alfia's table-flipping would go.

Since it was difficult to explain verbally, Ciel simply took off his shirt, covered his chest, and asked Alfia to check his ability stats.

Charles/Alfia

Ability value

Strength: I0+

Durability: I0+

Dexterity: I0+

Agility: I0+

Magic: I0+

……

The ability panel is very basic, but it's anything but ordinary.

After the Sharl activation panel was updated, a "+" sign appeared flashing wildly after the ability value, illuminating the benefits behind it.

The number I0 is jumping wildly, instantly changing from a single digit to a four-digit number, and it keeps spinning.

The screen remained frozen at a number until it became scorching hot, as if the CPU had burned out.

Charles/Alfia

Strength: EX 13986

Durability: EX 13986

Agile: EX 7590

Agility: EX 7774

Magic: EX 14014

------

Development Capabilities: [Divine Script] [Food Chain] [Godslayer]

"..."

Charles stared at Alphia's revealed attribute values, his mind filled with immense shock:

"Holy crap, there's an EX level above MAX!?"

"Over 10,000 ability points?!"

After the initial shock, Ciel, who had some understanding of the underlying logic of favors, quickly grasped the underlying reasoning.

Ability values ​​are essentially experience points.

The effect of 【Flip the Table】is to clear all ability values, but retains only the variable experience of the current level and performs a double experience multiplication.

These experiences will return to their essence, be recorded within the Grace System, and await the Lord's reference.

Every point of experience at level 7 represents a huge, overwhelming difference for level 1. With the added boost from the "Table Flip" ability, this results in the astonishing fact that level 1 ability values ​​can exceed 10,000.

Ciel attempted to use his mental power to invoke magic, and obtained the final conclusion through Alphia's perception.

"Probably between level 4 and level 5."

Charles's expression was subtle: "The important thing is that as the level increases, this part of the ability value will be amplified again as the artifact is upgraded!"

This goes beyond simply being a panel monster.

"Moreover, your current achievements are enough for you to undergo a second round of upgrades! Your development capabilities will increase further! However, let's wait until you return to your own body before updating. Right now, your development capabilities are mine, and if I take them back to my own body, it might cause unnecessary chaos."

Charles explained as he planned.

But what Alfia is more concerned about now is...

How can we switch them back?

Chapter 231 Old Deng? There are two?

"Ka-"

Charles blinked, stuck out his tongue, and said cutely, "I... don't know?"

"Huh?!!" Alfia's calm expression froze slightly.

"Haha..." Charles scratched his head: "I was only thinking about saving you, I didn't think about how to clean up the mess at all..."

"So, we're going to keep going like this from now on?" Alfia opened her mouth.

Although Ciel's body was healthy and there was no inconvenience in using it, the monster that was stirring in her lower body made her very uncomfortable.

"Think of something quickly!" Alfia crossed her arms, her eyebrows furrowed.

“It’s not that there isn’t one…” Charles jumped off the rock and spun around.

"One of my magic spells, 'Going Back in Time,' allows me to unilaterally reverse time and return to the position one hour earlier."

It's not about interfering with the world's rotation, but rather, like Izanagi, deleting one's current time and restoring one's position and state to an hour ago.

Simply put, it's a way to undo regrets.

Charles shrugged: "In other words, if you want to give up your current special status, I can also let you return to the battlefield you were on before."

Alfia certainly couldn't agree to Charles's suggestion. If she were to return to her original state, not only would Charles likely pull some unacceptable stunts, but she also wouldn't be able to resist the temptation of a healthy body.

"Isn't there any other way?" Alfia asked tentatively.

After Charles's previous crazy actions, she had no doubt about his abilities. He had even managed to create the reincarnation of Old Deng, so what else was impossible for him?
