Chapter 59 Figuring Things Out The Hard Way (2)
'AHHHHHHH, WHAT FUCKING GOOD ARE YOU IF YOU CANT TELL ME SPECIFICS DAMN IT!' Resisting the urge to take out his frustration on whatever inanimate object was nearby, Aoni screamed in his head while tearing at his hair thanks to the never-ending list of question marks appearing where there should be prices.
| Specific Progress Point Costs are something generated upon spending; at this time, the User is unable to access that information as you have yet to spend points to Upgrade any specified aspect past F- or Two Stars |
Releasing his hair from the clutches of his madness, Aoni narrowed his eyes and consoled the startled Glacia perched on the floor beside him.
'So what you mean to say is that you won't tell me jack shit until I start spending points? THEN WHAT IS THE POINT OF TELLING ME ANYTHING AT ALL?'
| You asked, and an answer was generated |
'You smug piece of ....hey, where'd you go, Tsk, running away the second I begin harassing you VERY mature.'@@@@
However, right as Aoni finished that mental statement, the notification window popped up and got the last word in before disappearing again, making the lad exhale shakily while being filled with simmering rage.
| Yelling at a generic window filled with text that is only visible to the User, the same could be said about the User's maturity level |
*Inhale* *sigh*
'Fair play...fair play,' after taking a deep breath and sighing, Aoni redirected his attention back to the task at hand, or at least he tried to, until he yet again got distracted by something minor.
'If I can't get accurate information from the window...eh, I need a better name, uh...' Looking down at Glacia, who had lost interest in his mannerisms and random silent freakouts, the lad found it difficult to come up with any kind of name for the temporary display.
| Increasing the Grade of Territory Linked Flume |
| Second Star manifesting |

| Territory Linked Flume has been increased to ★☆ |
| Progress Points have been Deducted |
| 15 pp Earned |
Although aware of the flooding notifications popping up one after another in the corner of his Vision, Aoni didn't have the mental capacity to read them; instead, he, along with Glacia, was completely enthralled by the changes occurring with the mysterious artifact.
Before the upgrade, while his Flume was sparkly and shiny due to having filled out its single Star, it still had the same color as any other rock you'd find on the side of the road: a shade of light grey.
However, as the strange feeling of loss flowed out of Aoni's hand and into the Flume, a ripple effect washed through the artifact, similar to a stone being dropped into a lake, only in this instance, the point of contact between Aoni's hand and the Flume, was where the ripple began.
The visible color change wasn't sudden; no, instead, it was similar to how you'd expect water to react when putting in food dye, as a faint hue rippled out from the point of impact, spreading inch by inch in a pinkish shimmer.
With each second that passed, this pink began to deepen as it made its way through the entirety of the Flume, eventually settling on a soft yet bright ruby shade.
"Gao..." Looking up at Aoni as he withdrew his hand from the Flume, Glacia scooted up and sniffed the artifact once, twice, three times before nodding her head and looking up at her Lord with eyes that said, "Yep, it's different now." then stepped back to be in line with the Lad.
