Chapter Twenty-Eight: Envisioning the Future of the Arctic Continent

"That is the situation," Chen Mo nodded.

"Do not be too ambitious."

With the two most authoritative figures in the team having spoken (Jenny was ignored), the others naturally had no further objections and agreed one after another.

"Chu Hao, is there anything in particular you want to enhance?"

"Me?" Chu Hao pondered for a moment, setting down the croissant in his hand. "You know Dungeons & Dragons, right? If possible, I want to enhance the Wizard system from it."

"Although I am not sure how much the spells cost, I imagine it must require a significant amount of reward points and side-story quests. After all, it is the DND that claims to have infinite magic. Buying all those spells would cost an unknown number of side-story quests and reward points..."

"However, the DND system contains many useful spells. With a reasonable combination, I believe they can be quite effective in various reincarnation worlds." As he spoke, Chu Hao bowed his head in contemplation.

Indeed, DND has many useful spells, but if you insist on sticking to the Hand of Mage spell from the original plot, one would never see you exchange for any high-level spells from the beginning of the story to the end.

Chu Hao's initial choice of DND was likely due to its versatility, hoping to resurrect deceased loved ones through high-level spells like Wish or Resurrection... I hope you can achieve this goal, Haozi.

Seeing that Chu Hao had spoken, Ares also said, "I am not good at direct combat. If possible, I want to enhance summoner-type abilities. For example, the Necromancer from Diablo would be quite good. I have always thought that profession was very cool and powerful."

"Of course, I will have to check the specific details once we return to the Main God's space. If such an enhancement turns me into some half-human, half-ghost creature, then I will choose a different one."

A Necromancer is a standard, reliable choice in the Main God's space. It possesses the ability to accumulate death energy in a very short time and summon high-level skeletal warriors. It has many advantages and no real drawbacks.

The only thing to note is that a normal Necromancer enhancement probably cannot achieve a "Necrotic Holy Body" like those seen elsewhere, but the specifics will have to wait until the enhancement is actually performed.

"You all know that I am a street-fighting champion, so my choice of enhancement will naturally be in the melee category," J continued calmly.

"I have experienced many things, and I actually have little faith in external objects. My own fists—the power that truly belongs to my own body—are the most trustworthy. In fact, I am quite interested in the Qigong of the ancient East, like the martial arts from Jin Yong's novels. If there are attributes related to that, I will likely choose them."

"I am also very interested in high-regeneration physiques like Wolverine from X-Men, or werewolf lineages."

Internal Energy, due to constant revisions in settings, has always existed in a Schrödinger state of being both a "bottom-tier" and a "reliable" choice in the Main God's space.

Chen Mo did not actually object, though compared to the relatively balanced and health-focused Internal Energy, he would recommend J enhance Battle Qi, an energy cycle more suited for killing. After all, enhancements that are better at fighting are more suitable for the Main God's space.

However, it does not really matter which one is chosen. When the time comes, he will provide some recommendations, and it will be up to J to decide which path to take.

Next was Osachi. The bearded man was silent for a while before saying, "If possible, I would like to see if there are any angel or divine messenger enhancements that can lead people to correct their faith, or something like a prophet..."

Osachi is a newcomer who did not return to the Main God's space in the original plot, having died in the Skyscraper disaster. As for the angel or prophet enhancement he mentioned... hmm... could it be that you also want to follow the path of the gods? Or perhaps exchange for a high-cost, high-combat-power enhancement like a Time Stargazer?

"And what about you, Jenny?" Chen Mo turned to the only girl present and smiled. "I remember you said before that you wanted to enhance as a Magical Girl and exchange for Pokémon?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Jenny with teasing smiles. Jenny's face turned beet red; she glared at Chen Mo, huffed indignantly, and said:

"W-what about it? What is wrong with Magical Girls? Magical Girls are very strong, you know! Don't look down on Magical Girls!"

That is true. Although it is an animation aimed at children, the upper limit of Magical Girl enhancements is actually quite high. They can be killed by a tentacle monster at the lowest level, or shatter planets and kick galaxies at the highest, even possessing divine power to rewrite the multiverse with a single thought... but that is a long way off.

Chen Mo was not sure about the cost-effectiveness of Magical Girl enhancements, as the original work never provided specific prices. He could only say that the potential was guaranteed, but the actual performance still depended on the individual.

"There is nothing wrong with it. Although Magical Girls are from children's animation, their actual potential is very high, even exceeding most other enhancements," Chen Mo said, rubbing his chin. "Do not feel ashamed of this kind of enhancement. Any enhancement exists for a reason. Who knows, one day you might even see a reincarnator who chose an enhancement from an adult game."

Jenny, who had just calmed down, blushed again upon hearing Chen Mo's words. Seeing this, Ares quickly changed the subject. "What about you, Chen Mo? You must have a preferred enhancement, right? Is it magic? Or high-tech?"

"Neither," Chen Mo replied.

"What I want to enhance is—Cultivation."

"Cultivation?" Everyone looked at Chen Mo.

"Yes, Cultivation. The cultivation techniques from Chinese cultivation novels, the path to becoming an immortal... that is what I want to enhance."

In reality, Cultivation is not a very practical enhancement in the Main God's space. Although its upper limit is high, in terms of practicality and adaptability, it belongs to the "bottom-tier" of enhancements.

Within the infinite multiverse, cultivation is divided into unorthodox cultivation and orthodox cultivation.

Unorthodox cultivation refers to systems like body refinement or sword cultivation—the cultivation systems found in most conventional novels.

Orthodox cultivation refers to existence through studying and manipulating runes, using calculation as the primary combat force to deduce all things—more like scientist-cultivators compared to conventional ones.

If unorthodox cultivation is the bottom-tier, then orthodox cultivation is the bottom of the bottom for reincarnators. It is not that they are weak; on the contrary, the upper limit of cultivation is ridiculously high, but a high upper limit does not mean it is suitable for reincarnators.

As for why it is unsuitable, simply put, it consumes too many resources.

First, exchanging for techniques requires side-story quests and reward points. Switching to higher-level techniques requires even more. Fighting requires additional expenditure of points and quests, and fighting with higher-level spells costs even more...

Then, cultivation requires resources, such as spirit stones or rare treasures, which must be purchased from the Main God's space using side-story quests and reward points. The higher the realm, the higher the cost.

Finally, cultivation itself is calculated in long units of time, while reincarnators can only stay in the Main God's space for ten days. If one wants to return to a plot world to cultivate, the cheapest option costs 10 reward points per day.
