“Yup! We’ll all go and gather the maximum amount of the stuff as possible, it’s free and will not slow us down that much, it'll also help to form a good impression if we just ask where to drop them off, and maybe form new connections,” Utopia explained.
The week of farming ended, and the 2 sides were gathered in the camp, Utopia was preparing for the trip back to civilization.
The 2 sides traveled thousands of kilometers and confirmed that nothing changed, no second sun ap...

“Nope I don’t see it like this, for my movement to be as fluid as possible I need to be able to do textbook momentum manipulation turn, but I can't forgo strength because even once I reach 2 000 momentum, I’ll only be able to go at the peak speed of someone with 500 strength,” casual conversation was hard to do once they exhausted everything possible.

“If we want to optimize our EP farming rate then we need to be fast, but we should still try to have an optimized and repeated masteries leveling while still privileging EP farming, it’s only a short term loss for a future where the same training can be done in a higher difficulty situation.”
Nelo was discussing different optimization with Utopia.
And after thinking, he agreed with Utopia on some points.
“The two leveling paths have globally the same worth, but safet...

Rune separated from the group and stopped demolishing trees.
The fighting environment was complex, it was unfortunate that he didn't have enough power to change it like an energy bomb to prepare a flat ground for him to fight.
The wolves should clearly love and be used to the forest, and because he couldn’t change this part, he kept to the ground and used his strength and energy armor to ignore everything and prepare for collision.
1 000 base strength, double what he had a...

“Having the option to retreat is already enough for me, and it’s also the only way that allowed the front-liners to come back and directly waive the teleportation cooldown to go to the Deep Void, if not they’d have all died because ether life forms can’t live in the Universe dimension anymore,” Adreana was discussing the EP Market.

His body was being recreated, and he could see it.
Nothing could stop the ambient ether from eroding his body, it was the true ether erosion, something that didn’t start yet in the Universe despite the full activation of the Ether Law, and only with full tier 1 stats or being an ether lifeform could you resist it and keep your life.
Nothing would change, but everything was transformed, his eyes became able to see the ether, his nose became able to smell an ether odor, he would b...

After confirming that creating spells was truly an arduous task, Rune searched a bit for how the greatest creators did, and the answer was a spell creation team, with every person having a role to fulfill.
‘The greatest contribution of the scientific method, teamwork, and sharing of methodology.’
In a sense, he also had an education revolving around scientific methodology. As an exploration engineer, he had field internships where he had to never disobey the rule of “Observe...

Rune was so confident that it bordered on arrogance and overconfidence, and his opponent felt it.
Having a fellow sapient as an opponent, Rune could also feel the relative skill difference between them, so he decided to engage first.

He remembered dying, his ether soul fading into silence and his body dissipating into nothing but ether.

Before his eyes were 3 rare resources, he found them after cleaning and sweeping the octopus nest.
In comparison to the time he used to clear other nests, he felt like he took an entire month to clear this one, while in fact, he was only a week into the 19th month.
From waking up without his supposed sense of self to cleaning the octopus nest, he only used 3 weeks.
During this time he became somewhat used to having his supposed sense of self deactivated, though he also formu...

While the IGS solution for clearing nests worked, the division of the loot was more complicated.
It all had to do with one event objective.
Find 10 rare resources: 1 000 000 EP
Not every nest had them, but the sharing of benefits was a big subject for when there was one.
The basic reward of a rare resource was 1 000 000 EP or 100 stat points, but it was only the basic one because there existed a superior and wanted one, the rank upgrade crystal.
