Chapter 606 - Upgrading The Monster Pet Nursery! And A New System Function!
-----
While it was still early in the morning, Frank decided to bring his pets to the Monster Pet Nursery to see if he could upgrade it. He brought them with him mostly out of nostalgia, but now he began to feel a bit bad, most of them were still sleepy and he literally just kidnaped them and forced them to come here through teleportation…
However, he was hoping that something interesting would happen if he upgraded this place he got long ago through the System, so he wanted them to "see the show" in some sort of way, at the very least he was going to use some App Points and upgrade this thing as much as possible.
He took a look into the Status once more…
-----
[Monster Pet Nursery Status]
[Owner: Frank James
[Monster Pet Nursery Rank: 1
[App Points Needed for Upgrade: 1000 App Points.
[Monster Pet Rooms: 12
[Special Effects: None.
[Monster Pet Market: Locked.
[Monster Pet Item Market: Locked.
-----
"Hmm, only 100 Potions? Alright then…"
Frank quickly pressed the "upgrade" button in the Status, as 1000 App Points, which used to be a lot back then when he first got this, were quickly spent, and infused into the entire place.
FLASH!
Nothing much changed, but he suddenly realized that the entire space of this place had expanded a bit more, there were at least 5 more meters of space in this "waiting room".
[You exchanged 1000 App Points!]
[The [Monster Pet Nursery] has been upgraded to Rank 2!]
[The Internal Space within the Monster Pet Nursery was increased]
[You acquired the Special Effect: [Monster Growth Enhancement: Level 1]!]
"Oh, it got a new Special Effect, and the space did indeed increase… but nothing much happened aside from that, I wonder how much I have to upgrade this to get to unlock the Monster Pet Market and the Item Market…" said Frank.
Frank decided to check the new Effect, rather curiously…
-----
[Monster Growth Enhancement: Level 1]
Enhances the growth of your Pet by +10% with each Level. Stats increase higher with each level up that your Monster Pets go through, and they are more likely to gain new Abilities.
-----
It was very straightforward and simple in terms of effects and what it could do. Frank nodded as he looked at what it could do.
"I see, so that's what it can do… does this growth includes the growth of the monster's age or just size?" he wondered.
Frank began to wish his System could be more perceptive with him, he had read many times in Novels where the Systems could answer questions from the main character and were always very useful.
Despite all the things his System had, it lacked a basic A.I. that spoke to him and could answer questions… But now that he thought about it, the System itself was part of his own Trait within the Infinite Origin of his Soul…
This meant that as long as he willed it, through the use of the [System Administrator] Skill, he was able to insert effects or new functions into his System. This Skill had been acquired by him long ago, and he had used it here and there to adapt and change things within his System.
But the possibilities were even higher than he had thought before, and after he had gone through many experiences and learned more about his System, he realized he could even use this Skill to add new functions and more, as long as he had the points to pay for their creation.
"Let's see… System Administrator Authority: Create [System A.I.] System Function!" said Frank.
FLASH!
Suddenly, several holographic windows showed up around Frank, as several digital and neon colors began to form around him, all gathering and fusing in front of him in a mesmerizing spectacle.
[You've exchanged 1.000.000 App Points]
[The System Function [System A.I.] has been created!]
[You acquired the Title [The One That Controls The System]!]
[You learned the [System Artificial Intelligence: Level 1] Skill!]
FLASH!
All the holographic windows gathered together and fused into one, alongside all the digital and neon colors, generating a single holographic window where an icon showing what seemed to be a formless assistant made of digital light emerged.
Suddenly, it disappeared after that and then, another holographic window showed up, showing words on them, this was not a system prompt or something, but someone speaking directly to him.
Additionally, he also could hear the gentle voice of a woman speaking to his mind saying the very words that showed in the holographic window…
[I am pleased to meet you, System Administrator and my Creator, Frank James]
[I am your System Artificial Intelligence, I have been created by you to assist you in all basic functions, including the ability to answer questions regarding the System and more, facilitating your daily life]
[Regarding the question you have previously, the new Function within the Monster Pet Nursery doesn't enhance a monster's age growth]
"Ooh?! It worked! I really made an Artificial Intelligence for my System… Thanks for your help, I will be counting on you from now on." said Frank.
[It is a pleasure to help in anything I want, if you have any doubts about anything, please feel free to ask away, master]
"Yes, sure thing." Said Frank.
Excited about this new function, Frank decided to make full use of it now.
"System, can you tell me how much the Monster Pet Nursery can be upgraded?" he wondered.
[It can be upgraded apparently several times, more than the ones you can currently upgrade it. However, you have enough App Points so you can upgrade it to a very high Rank, unlocking dozens of features and also the two Markets]
[Do you wish to automatically upgrade it up to this Rank? The cost will be of 4.225.000 App Points, and several new functions and changes will emerge]
"Hmm… T-That's a lot… But sure, do it." said Frank.
[Understood. Upgrading…]
FLASH!
Frank saw as millions of App Points were suddenly used, bathing the entire place with bright rivers of light!
