My stats are higher than yours!!

【I am the source of laughter!】: I possess more laughter factors within me than anyone else in Paradise.

[Speedrun]: Complete the mission ahead of schedule within 3 hours. (This achievement significantly increases the mission rating and provides an additional 50% bonus to the survival mission's completion rate.)

Overall rating: SSS+

You have gained 20000 Psionic Points.

[Squad passive buff triggered, you gain an additional 2000 psionic points]

Not bad!

This team buff is really great!

Bai Shuodong's face instantly lit up with a smile when he saw the 2000 spirit points. As long as he could get extra spirit points every time he teamed up, he would be willing to team up with legendary teammates every day and easily clear the game!

You have gained 10 Freedom Attribute Points.

You have gained 40% of your level experience.

[Hint: Challenging world levels grants an additional 50% experience gain, and the team's passive effect triggers, granting an additional 10% experience.]

[Finally gained 64% level experience]

[Hint: Your level and experience have reached 100%, meeting the upgrade requirements]

[Upgrade now?]

Upgrade!

Did you level up after just one challenge?

That's really fast!

Bai Shuodong's lips began to curl into a wild smile. The experience boost from the cross-level challenge world was just right, reaching 104% with perfect timing.

Without the squad effect, he would be stuck at level 1.

In the spirit world, the difference between level 1 and level 2 may not seem significant on the surface, but in reality, they are vastly different. Level 2 has a much higher potential than level 1, and the effects of attribute-enhancing potions are also much better.

Not only that, the skill level cap of level 2 will also be increased to level 4. Although it costs more money to upgrade skills, the upper limit of strength is also higher.

It's both painful and joyful.

I'm still too poor!

Upgrade!

[Level Up Begins]

Suddenly, a continuous stream of power surged out from the spirit realm and flowed into Bai Shuodong's body.

He could clearly feel a powerful force surging from within his body, and his body began to burst forth with even greater vitality. It was a very special feeling, like a python shedding its old scales and gaining a new life.

[Hint: Level up complete. Your base attributes have been improved: Strength +4, Agility +4, Constitution +4, Spirit +4]

Of course, the core of leveling up is not the increase in attribute values; the increase in attribute values ​​is just a bonus.

What's truly important is that as your level increases, your physical potential also grows, giving you a higher ceiling. And when you're far from that ceiling, the attribute boosts you get from using potions become even greater.

"Whoo~"

Bai Shuodong let out a soft breath, feeling that everything was developing in a better direction, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

Then, he glanced at the psionic point, and his smile vanished instantly.

Chapter 116 Profit Settlement!

[You have earned the title: Source of Maniacal Laughter]

The Source of Maniacal Laughter (Exclusive)

Rating: ★★★★★★

Effect: After obtaining this title, you can initially grasp the power of the Laughter Factor within your body. The total amount of Laughter Factor is equivalent to 10% of the total psionic energy.

Additional information: This title will automatically upgrade after using the power of the Laughter Factor multiple times.

Brief introduction: Laugh, laugh! Hahaha!

"hiss..."

Bai Shuodong exclaimed in surprise.

This title is quite impressive. The laughter factor, which was originally acquired temporarily, has become permanently acquired because of this title.

However, mastering the Laughter Factor is not a good thing without a price. The Laughter Factor itself is an extremely dangerous emotional force. If it is used excessively, it may affect the mental state of oneself or those around them.

Although this title doesn't explicitly mention any side effects, does it really mean there aren't any?

Bai Shuodong didn't believe it.

Using the Laughter Factor in battle will definitely produce some unexpected effects.

For example, the passive assessment of the Laughter Factor is extremely dangerous. If this assessment were to actually affect a person, it would be quite troublesome for the infirmary to save them.

While it's not beyond saving, it will definitely leave a very deep impression on the other party.

Use it in critical moments.

[Note: The Spirit Realm Shop is now open. All items in the shop will not be retained and will be automatically refreshed the next time the Spirit Realm Shop opens.]

① 2 free attribute points

Price: 200 psionic points

②Skill Book - Relying on Curse Kill (Active)

Price: 10000 psionic points

Price: 1000 psionic points

⑤ Clown Throwing Knife (Gold Grade)

Price: 5000 psionic points

.....

There are 5 options in the store, and the first option is mandatory.

The low price of Free Attribute Points isn't because each one is only worth that much, but because the option itself is a benefit; you gain the right to purchase them every time you complete a level.

Only a fool wouldn't trade 200 Spirit Points for two Free Attribute Points.

The second option is a four-star skill book. This item is useless to Bai Shuodong, but it only costs 5000 spirit points, which is cheaper than skill books in the real world. It's not bad for those poor curse-type players.

but...

There are too few curse-type items, making it difficult to sell them quickly and resulting in a slow return on investment. If the price is driven down too much, it's better not to buy them at all.

"Ugh!"

Bai Shuodong thought of the loans he had on hand. He was currently burdened with 3 yuan in spiritual energy loans. Without these loans, he wouldn't have the skills he needed to upgrade later, nor any other things he needed to buy.

He is actually willing to buy it, to purchase it and use it as a financial product, and to wait patiently for it to appreciate in value over time.

but...

I'm so poor!

I don't have the money to buy it!

I bought this thing hoping it would appreciate in value, but before it did, I had to pay off the loan!

The most painful thing in the world is that you have the option to invest, but you are afraid to do so because you don't have the money. You know very well that if you don't act within the time limit, you will suffer a huge loss.

It is precisely because other psionicists have this idea that there are not many skill books in the world. Everyone is short of money, so few people buy and hoard skill books of unpopular categories.

Then that skill category became even less popular, and subsequently, there were even fewer skill books available, creating a vicious cycle.

The third item is the water of power.

Attribute-enhancing items produced in the Spirit Realm are relatively valuable, meaning they are expensive, but relatively easy to sell. Because the Water of Power increases strength and health, it sells well in the market.

Compared to creations in the mortal world, attribute-enhancing items produced in the spirit world generally have fewer side effects and gentler enhancement effects, making them relatively more comfortable.

Bai Shuodong himself finds it quite good.

but...

Comfort is for the dead!

We, the strong, cannot be content with comfort.

Damn it...damn it! I'm not poor at all! I'm just trying to toughen myself up!

Poison is the most potent! The most powerful boost comes from industrial waste! Ugh! Bought it... never use it! Selling it at a high price!

pain!

It hurts so much!

I bought the Tier 1 Glory Potion. This thing is for saving lives. Combined with Bai Shuodong's own [Adaptive Evolution], it can greatly challenge the upper limit of one-on-one combat.

As for the final clown throwing knife....

5000 spirit points are definitely worth it to exchange for a gold-grade weapon. The Spirit Realm Shop giving this item is also a kind of benefit. Unfortunately, Bai Shuodong doesn't have enough spirit points to upgrade his skills.

Not to mention upgrading equipment.

窮

Too poor

At this critical moment, it's time to bring out the magic weapon that can turn the tide!

[Main quest rewards have been claimed]

[Hint: Congratulations on obtaining the Golden Treasure Chest (Special)]

The reason this golden treasure chest has a special entry is because the main quest completion rate reaches 150% with the [Speedrun] bonus. Under normal circumstances, the quest reward is a normal golden treasure chest.

As the mission completion rate increases, the rewards from the Golden Treasure Chest will naturally increase as well. However, the Spirit Realm cannot give even half of it, so the value of the rewards inside the Golden Treasure Chest will increase.

so...

This golden treasure chest makes it easier to get higher-value items, which is great.

"Eh!"

"I have a second golden treasure chest!"

Bai Shuodong took out another one, a golden treasure chest dropped by the roller coaster. It wasn't as valuable as the one given by the mission, but it was still a gold-grade chest and should yield some good items.

Then, he took out the special treasure chest that the Clown King had dropped, and arranged the three chests in a row, with a gleam in Bai Shuodong's eyes.

Three high-value treasure chests!

Give me something of value!

Before officially opening the chest, he first tried to get some luck by finding some items. He had also killed quite a few Doll Giants, and these Doll Giants also had treasure chests.

Bronze Treasure Chest x6

Silver Treasure Chest x1

There are relatively few of them, but they should be enough to help you get lucky.

Open all at once!
