Chapter 656 - Leveling Is Certainly Easier Now
-----
Frank looked at Yurei giving him a report of everything that had happened today, as he decided to look into the monster pet nursery stats and see what might have changed, finding out a few things did indeed change for the better.

"Wait… Huh? The EXP increased?" he wondered.
"Ah! Yes, the more monster pets we raise inside the Monster Pet Nursery, the more passive EXP we can get over time, my lord, also, defeating those thugs seem to have given me a bit of experience points too…" said Yurei.
"Wait, what?" asked Frank.
Frank didn't knew that this would honestly happen, it appears that Yurei was able to earn EXP passively through the monster pet nursery. The more monster pets there were, the faster she would gain EXP over time.
Additionally, the logic of normal monsters gaining EXP from whatever they killed through the System also applied here, Yurei was able to gain EXP by defeating enemies, it seemed, however they had to be of this world.
Also, this seemed to increase the EXP of Frank's Monster pet Nursery at the same time, which seemed quite logic-defying.
However, the amount of EXP he got out of the thugs was minimal, only a few single digits at most, so it wasn't anything too extraordinary.
Aside from that, as Frank checked his Status, he had realized that he had gained EXP and even leveled up even when he had not defeated any monsters.
He could still gain EXP passive though from his allies killing monsters, as long as they had the System with them, and like that, he could level up passively over time.
However, when he leveled up once in the Monster Pet Nursery, something seemed to have happened, and he gained several levels in a single flash.
It seemed that leveling the monster pet nursery also leveled up his own Status, which was an incredible news for Frank.
He was left a bit speechless, as he asked the System what was this about.
[Apparently, you can level up the monster pet nursery through new methods, but each level it gets as a Monster Pet Trainer will also increase your own stats, as it is bound to you.]
"Really? I didn't see this before…"
[Well you never see things before, most of the time you're busy dealing with a million things, I guess I am here to remind you of the things you won't remember nor you will check… I apologize for not telling you before, I will make sure to do so with any new thing…]
"Oh, oaky, thanks. But how does this works?"
[Apparently every level of the monster pet trainer within this building will give you a large amount of normal Status EXP. In this world you cannot completely showcase your power unless you use Monster Pets as conductors. But that doesn't mean you can't grow stronger and showcase even more power through them. That single level gave you plenty of levels in your normal status, apparently…]
"I see… Then I have to sell even more things and make even more profit to level up! This means I can grow stronger through making business?! This is crazy… Hm, and now that those guys died, I guess I won't have as much competition, this is indeed quite good…" said Frank, as he smiled rather maliciously out of nowhere!
His evil side, which was made up of Hades teachings back then, had emerged once more for a few seconds, frightening the System a bit, although Axitl, Gwendolyn, and Alexander didn't seem to notice it.
[Y-Yes, I suppose…]
Of course, it was totally possible for Frank to unleash his power through his body, but it would consume a larger quantity of energy, and the world itself, alongside its powerful laws, which were even stronger than those of Terra, might notice him and try to suppress such alien powers.
This is why he's trying to lay back and use monsters as catalyzers of his powers in Gaia, so the world itself doesn't notice his immense quantity of power and doesn't see him as a threat that must be suppressed.
Unlike in Terra, Gaia had an incredible amount of power and an even stronger Will, it was widely known around the entire society of this world about the "World's Voice" and that the world was indeed alive and had a will of its own.
There are documented cases of powerful beings that could threaten the world, which were suppressed by the world itself and then defeated by ancient heroes thanks to its help.
Because of this, Frank didn't wanted to risk it for nothing and decided to calm down and not do anything reckless or rash about the entire situation, it was better to do things slowly and assess the matters that were most important at the moment, which was finding an item for Ryujin, making profit, exploring the world, researching this world's history and lore, and meeting new people to increase business opportunities even more.
Now that Frank realized he could grow stronger even from just selling things in here, he had begun to realize that things were not so bad, if he could grow stronger passively at even faster pace, he was all for it.
Meanwhile, Axitl brought up two monsters with her…
One of them was certainly not recently hatched.
