The two upgraded abilities were also a pleasant surprise to Chen Fann. He never thought that he could upgrade both his innate divine strength and speed this time.

Ten times his innate divine strength was equivalent to doubling his strength, which used to be five thousand Jin of Qi. Now, he could lift ten thousand Jin of Qi.

However, although ten thousand Jin of Qi seemed very powerful, it was only relative to humans.

Not forgetting, this was the era of the awakening of the extraordinary creatures. Ten thousand Jin of Qi was just a drizzle of their strength.

According to his speculation, in the future, this ability would be harder to upgrade. After all, it had been 20 years since the last upgrade, one could only imagine how difficult it was to level up.

Alternatively, the acceleration of is leveling up speed would be beneficial to him.

After today’s battle with the Mountain Troll, he clearly felt that his current speed wasn’t fast enough.

The ability to increase his speed allowed him to ran as fast as a cheetah. Seemingly fast, but it could only be used to deal with lesser species like the Mountain Gnome who were not extraordinary creatures.

Dealing with an extraordinary creature like the Mountain Troll was clearly a little strenuous.

Although the Mountain Troll was relatively slower due to its huge body, every step it took covered over a hundred meters. Additionally, it could even tear down buildings with its bare hands, smashing them few kilometers away, almost hitting him in some instances. It was troublesome to deal with.

Therefore, the debut of his lightning-like speed was like a timely rain, making up for his shortcoming.

When he tried to run, it felt like lightning, he almost thought he was flying.

This time, he really gained a lot.

“System, can you extend my life now and let me regain my youth?” Although he had gained a lot, he hadn’t forgotten about the main issue.

“Of course I can. However, after extending your lifespan and restoring your youth, this System will consume a lot of energy, so it will sleep for a period of time. The incubation of the dragon egg will be entirely dependent on Host himself.”

“Host, you must remember to stroke the dragon egg frequently so that the Silver Dragon will remember your taste.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Alright, this system has already bestowed you with the special effect of extending your lifespan. Host, you can open the characteristic panel to check.”

Chen Fann heeded and opened the attributes panel again.

Sure enough, another ability had appeared in the special effect panel.

Extending lifespan: Increases lifespan by 100 years and restores youth.

“Is there any other problem with the Host? If not, this System will go to sleep right now.”

“Wait a minute, I still have questions. How long will you be sleeping this time? Also, why would I be mentally exhausted after using the power of the Gospel? Is there any way to change this situation? “

“The time of my sleep this time is uncertain. The energy replenished by the inferior extraordinary creature is limited after all. In order to help host prolong your life and restore your youth, a large amount of energy is consumed. Additionally, the energy needed to update the world information is already insufficient.”

“Updating the world’s information also requires energy?”  Chen Fann was confused.

“Of course, the extraordinary creatures are not revived at the same time, there are sleeping magic civilizations, the lost land of the gods, and so on. This information can be updated at any time.”

“So this system must have enough energy to update the world information at any time, otherwise the understanding and mastery of the world will not be thoroughly comprehensive. Just like your human news, different things will happen every day and unless you look at the old news, you’ll never understand what’s currently happening . “

It really wasn’t easy for the System.

After hearing what the system said, Chen Fann couldn’t help but want to comfort it, thank it for its hard work.

“Furthermore, since the crisis in this city has been resolved, the host won’t be in danger for the time being. The system can rest assured hibernate for a period of time.”

For some reason, Chen Fann felt a little lost. He read the old gospel and after killing the Mountain Trolls, he was almost loosing his goal. Now that the system was going to slumber, he suddenly realized that he didn’t know what to do next.

Without the guidance of the system, he couldn’t dare to casually sneak attack an unknown extraordinary creature.

Could it be that the only thing he was to do next was hug the dragon egg hatch it?

Although hatching the dragon egg was a goal, it was too small of a goal. Furthermore, it was impossible for him to consistently hold the dragon egg until it hatched.

In Earth, loosing a goal was the cruelest torture, more like chronic suicide. Loneliness could be endured but even if his spirit was strong enough, an aimless life was dull. Eventually, he wouldn’t be able to bear it anymore and become desperate and crazy.

Just as Chen Fann was getting a little afraid, the system’s voice rung out.

“Host, you don’t need to be sad about losing your target.”

“Does host think that reading a hundred thousand books is enough? Naive.”

“The host just asked the system why using the ability of the gospel would cause one’s spirit to collapse. Although the host’s spiritual energy has surpassed human beings, it is far from enough. Compared to the old days, it is only a drop in the ocean. “

“Therefore, in order to continue to use the power of the Gospel, the host still needs to continue reading. This system has already said that the most effective way for humans to increase their spiritual energy is to read books.”

“In the past, this System did not make it clear, you can read any book. This System was afraid that the Host would read some terrible books, so it didn’t explain it clearly.”

In fact, reading any book can increase the brain’s capacity and  increase spiritual energy. They can include storybooks, magazines that have no practical uses, records of local literature, local records, historical documents, and so on.”

“Turning all written knowledge into memory that expands the brain capacity, like a database. Regardless of whether the knowledge is useful or not, it can be used as memory storage. The larger the memory storage, the greater the brain capacity and the stronger the mental power “

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”  Chen Fann was stunned. He had always thought that novels and magazines were knowledge-less. Turns out that reading them could expand his brain capacity and increase his mental strength!

“Didn’t you say so?  Afraid that the host will read a terrible book.”

“What terrible book?”

“Little yellow book.”

Chen Fann:???

Reading the Little Yellow Book can also increase spiritual energy?

“Then why are you telling me now? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll read the Little Yellow Book?”

“In any case, this System is going to fall asleep soon. If the Host wants to read it, you can read it. It won’t affect this System.”

“It’s not like you haven’t slept before.”  Chen Fann complained.

“In the past, the system was worried that the host’s will wasn’t strong enough, and that the host would be immersed in the world of the small yellow book every day. And when the day comes, when you can’t take it anymore, you’ll commit suicide. But now, the system is no longer worried. After reading the 100,000 books, the Host’s will is already strong enough, there will definitely be no more thoughts of suicide or giving up.”

Chen Fann:… “

He was unable to refute. This lousy system really had a thorough understanding of men.
