Novel Bin Chapter 164 The Grade Interval
Arthur now understood why his Agility stat\'s grade had increased.
"So crossing the 25 start mark is needed for the grade to improve, huh…" Arthur muttered to himself.
He analyzed further and wondered if all the ranks would be categorized in the same manner.
\'I can at leas assume that the stat points needed to increase a single grade is at least 25 stat points. If the grade increases once more at 51, I\'ll know that my hypothesis is correct. Though the question still stands whether this rank increase is linear or now.\' Arthur thought to himself.
It could be possible that as the ranks increased, the stats needed would also increase.
Another thing that Arthur noticed as the effects of the stat increase.
\'While my speed did increase, if I compare my speed in game, it is not comparable at all. I can run for over half an hour without any issues, and here I can barely do it for two minutes. That too at lowered speed.\' Arthur pondered on it. \'The gains are certainly not equal but rather in some kind of ratio.\' He understood.
Having learned this, Arthur was certainly intrigued and excited. But at the same time he was wary too.
\'I don\'t know what effects it could have on my body later on. I can regenerate naturally in game, but here if I injure myself, healing won\'t be as straightforward.\' Arthur thought to himself.
Plus, he had only felt the improvement with his Agility right now. Who knew what the effects would be for other stats.
\'Strength and Toughness are understandable, but Dexterity and Vitality will be hard to judge.\' Arthur thought. \'And I can\'t even begin to think how Wisdom, Intelligence and Will would affect me here.\'
~Sigh~
"I guess I have more things to monitor now." Arthur muttered to himself before getting up.
He had calmed down, and his breath was no longer labored.
"May as well continue the workout since I\'m out," Arthur reckoned.
With that in mind, he started moving again. Albeit this time, he was just jogging instead of sprinting. Arthur wished to improve his stamina, and this was one of the most basic ways of doing it.
He did a circuit around the block, before coming to a stop in front of Wisteria Apartments. While he was still tired, Arthur felt a bit satisfied from his run.
"Doing this regularly will make it comfortable." He made up his mind.
And while he still wished to add some fitness equipment to the room, Arthur wanted to focus on his In game needs first.
\'Though I can also use that gym I saw, I guess.\' Arthur thought as he glanced at a building in the distance which had a gym along with other shops and amenities.
Done with all this, Arthur finally returned to the apartment and headed straight up to his room.
~CLICK~
The door opened with a mechanical click that Arthur was still unfamiliar with. He lingered for a moment before making his way to the bathroom to take a shower.
Five minutes later, Arthur left the bathroom, only to hear a notification from his phone.
>Your scheduled post has been uploaded!<
"Ah, guess it is time already." Arthur smiled while imagining the money that would be spent on his guides.
His \'customers\' had no idea that they were only spoiling their own progress by doing something like this. The more they used Arthur\'s guides, the more dependent would they become on it. And as the content improved with more secretive places as well as other tips and tricks, Arthur would have made a lot of money.
Next he made a quick breakfast and filled his belly as his hunger had fallen even more after the run.
>Player Arthur\'s Hunger has been restored to 100%<
Arthur then spent a couple of hours monitoring the Grand nexus forums for any new information or rumors about the dragon, but didn\'t learn much. He also looked out for any new information, but was unlucky in that regard.
Most of the players were still busy grinding levels, or trying to obtain some basic equipment right now.
Though in it all, Arthur did learn that the \'first\' level 9 player had already appeared.
"Hmm… they don\'t know who it is, but know that they are from Fox Village." Arthur read the discussions on the forums.
Some people had spotted an unknown player fighting some wolves in the forest and reported about it. Unfortunately, before they could know anything more, the player went deeper in the forest.
It was unknown whether they were dodging other players, or had just gone in to continue this fight.
Whatever it might be the players had still seen his level which showed to be level 9. And since Arthur hadn\'t announced his level or had been scanned before that, to the public that man was the only \'top ranker\' right now.
Arthur thought about it a bit more, and wondered who could it be.
The Fox Village wasn\'t close to the Roran Town or the Samson city. In fact, it was in another region entirely. Though the Fox Village had a lot of similarity to Kestrel village being near a forest and having the same environment.
Even the beasts there were the same.
"Did they get stronger using my guide, perhaps?" Arthur wondered.
It seemed like the most obvious answer, though there was also the fact that the trick slowed down after a while.
\'They should be somewhat skilled on their own to get to this point.\' Arthur guessed. \'If not, they wouldn\'t have been able to go past level 7. They too would have been begging like the others on forums.\'
Whatever the reason might be, Arthur knew this was something he would have to monitor.
"Looks like the \'first\' level 10 player would be appearing soon enough." Arthur muttered before getting up from his bed.
Done with the forum browsing, Arthur changed his task and started writing the next article instead. After all, he needed several of them in order to have a stable earning over time.
