Death… And Me Chapter 1568 Wouldn't it be bad?

Chapter 1568 Wouldn't it be bad?

[Energy Absorption Upgrade Level 5 - 50000 Destiny Points] (It will go to 25% when they buy it, they have 20% at level 4)

[Confirm purchase?]

"Yes!"

Kentucky, Celis, and the twins were affected by the upgrade at the same time, just like last time. The only good thing was that they were all waiting for the pain to come. Thanks to that, they didn't look like idiots when the upgrade hit them.

Once that was done, Rean wiped the sweat off his face before saying, "Phew... so we finally increased our cultivation speed by a quarter, huh?"

Celis shook his head, saying, "That's only the case for you two. Kentucky and I were only affected by the last two upgrades that you did, so we're both at 10%. Well, not that I'm complaining."

Roan was more interested to see how much the next upgrade would cost, though. "Perhaps the remaining 70357 points can buy the next level as well."

[Energy Absorption Upgrade Level 6 - 200000 Destiny Points]

"Forget I said anything." Roan immediately threw away his ideas after that.

"70k, huh?" Rean couldn't help but look at a certain upgrade.

[Soul Gem Dimensional Realm Upgrade Level 4 - 50000 Destiny Points]

Rean then mentioned, "I won't lie. I'm curious to see what we would get from the Dimensional Realm if we upgrade it."

Roan was more interested in something else, though. "I believe the Soul Connection Range is the best choice. At the moment, we have access to the system's perks as long as we're within 10000 kilometers of each other. With the next level, this distance would increase by ten times."

[Soul Connection Range Upgrade level 5 – 50000 Destiny Points] (100000km)

Rean still preferred the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm Upgrade, though. "It's extremely rare for us to go further away from each other than 10000 kilometers. I still think Dimensional Realm Upgrade is the best one as Soul Connection Range won't really add anything."

In the end, the twins couldn't make a decision, so they decided to ask the others.

[I definitely prefer Soul Connection Range.] Sister Orb, as the System's AI, immediately selected the Soul Connection Range since it would make things easier for her to act.

Celis, on the other hand... "I vote for the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm Upgrade." He spent most of his time cultivating in the Dimensional Realm. Besides, the new upgrade might give some extra cultivation speed to him in some form.

Luan was still in his statue form, so he couldn't vote. At least, due to Sister Orb pouring Divine Water on his body, it was obvious that he would be able to think again soon. Several parts of his skin were already back to normal.

In the end, the only one remaining who could vote was Kentucky. Since each upgrade got two votes, he would be the one to make the final decision. "Hmm... both of the choices seem very good. Rean wasn't completely right about the Soul Connection Range not adding anything. You can still travel almost 100000 kilometers from each other and teleport straight back through the Dimensional Realm. That's a very good thing."

He continued, "On the other hand, the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm usually gives something very good when it's upgraded. I have to say, it's a tough choice. With that being said, I guess I'll leave it up to luck."

Kentucky then took a coin out. They had quite a lot of those for times when paying with spirit stones was way too much. "I'll throw a coin, and whatever it falls on, the other side won't complain. Is that okay with all of you?"

Everyone nodded as they couldn't deny the other part's words.

"Good! Then let's go outside since Sister Orb, Rean, or Roan could totally use their control over the Dimensional Realm to influence the result." Kentucky really wanted to leave it to luck.

Outside, he covered his surroundings with Divine Energy so that no one could touch the coin. "Soul Connection Range on heads. Soul Gem Dimensional Realm Upgrade on tails. There we go!" He then blew the coin with his wings so that he also couldn't know exactly how it would fall.

Eventually, the coin fell to the ground and ended up on tails. "Well, Soul Gem Dimensional Realm Upgrade it is."

Roan sighed but accepted the result. He had his Divine Sense on the coin all the time, so he knew there were no tricks involved. "Let's head back inside."

Without wasting time, the twins touched the Soul Gem Orb and selected the next option.

[Soul Gem Dimensional Realm Upgrade Level 4 - 50000 Destiny Points]

[Confirm Purchase?]

"Y-"

"Wait!"

Suddenly, Celis called their attention and asked, "Can we stay in the Dimensional Realm during the upgrade? I just saw you guys couldn't enter the side-occupation workshops while they were changing. If we get forced outside, won't the altar come outside as well?"

Immediately, everyone looked at Sister Orb after that.

[Oh! Good point. Alright, I'll need you guys to go out. As for the altar guy and Luan, I'll protect them from the Dimensional Realm's transformation. Since they can't see anything, there won't be a problem.]

Naturally, the twins' group had no issues with that. "Good! Let's continue."

[Confirm purchase?]

"Yes!"

[Purchase confirmed. Initializing upgrade...]

Immediately, the twins, Celis, and Kentucky were sent outside. As for the altar and Luan, they couldn't see anything of what was happening inside, so they were left in there. One was sealed in a chamber while the other was a statue, after all.

It was then that the system's voice echoed in the twins' minds.

[Upgrade time: 336 hours]

"That's gonna take quite some time," Celis didn't expect it to take that long.

Roan shook his head, though. "It's just two weeks. Nothing much compared to all the free time we have."

Rean couldn't help but bitterly smile in response. "However, our cultivations are coming back to normal way before then, you know? I also left the chamber with the teleport formation in there."

Sure enough, those words took Roan, Celis, and Kentucky's attention. "Wouldn't it be bad if the others saw that our cultivation went back to the peak of the Elemental Transformation Realm out of nowhere?"
