Chapter 1468: Final Novice Function

It could only be said that Thor had come to Earth this time to deal with “family matters.”

That was why it was inconvenient for even Thor’s most trusted Sif and the Warriors Three to intervene.

Last time, Sif and the Warriors Three had rushed over when they realized that Loki wanted to exile Thor.

Now, Thor was the only heir and Loki had lost all chance of inheriting the throne.

The situation had completely changed. There was no need to worry about Thor’s safety at all, so there was naturally no need for his generals and soldiers to follow him.

If the two brothers had yet another family conflict, these subordinates would be embarrassed.

What could they do, except continue watching?

Luke also felt that a lot of thought had gone into the Chitauri finding Loki.

Although the second prince wasn’t a biological son, he had grown up in Asgard, and he would know some top-level secrets.

If it were anyone else who had come to Earth, they might not have found the Tesseract so easily.

Loki, on the other hand, simply activated the Tesseract and had it bring him to Earth before he took it away.

The whole process was extremely easy.

Putting everything together, Luke concluded that it was impossible for the Chitauri to start a full-scale war with Earth for the time being, unless they defeated Asgard first.

Earth had a little more breathing room, but only a little.

Who the hell knew what aliens would invade Earth for some weird reason next time?

From Asgard’s reaction this time round, it seemed that they didn’t care about small fusses on Earth at all.

Maybe the tens of thousands of people who had died in New York were like humans hearing about tens of thousands of endangered animals dying.

After everything, Asgard might punish the perpetrators, but that already no longer had anything to do with the dead animals.

I have to get stronger! Luke slowly clenched his fist and stared at it.

Strength was everything!

If he had Thor’s strength, the Chitauri wouldn’t have dare barged into Earth like that.

That was because he would represent Earth’s strength.

If there was a powerful figure to unite the planet, a group of the strong and powerful would naturally gather around him.

Only an entity like this could stand up to the Chitauri.

Luke was traveling down this path.

Before he knew it, he had assembled a group of like-minded people who were even system teammates.

Also, he could provide various equipment and supplies to make his teammates stronger.

As he improved, his teammates would become stronger.

Now, Luke had one last harvest from this operation that would make him stronger.

Level 20 was a threshold for the system.

It gave Luke another new function. At the same time, the system informed him that from now on, a new function would only appear after every ten levels.

Luke immediately asked, “Didn’t a new function appear at level 5 before?”

The experience points required for the next five level-ups after level 20 was equivalent to the amount for all the previous 20 levels. How long would it take to level up to level 30?!

The system gave a very game-like reply: Everything before level 20 was the novice stage. The various functions provided were only to help the host pass the novice stage as soon as possible.

Luke thought for a moment and realized that this was true.

Whether it was the level 5 super learning module, the level 10 inventory module, or the level 15 teammate module, these were all things that newbies dreamed of.

Increasing one’s combat ability, collecting resources and searching for teammates could make up for any newbie’s shortcomings.

Coupled with the new function he obtained at level 20, he really couldn’t be considered a novice.

The system’s description of the new function wasn’t complicated. It was as simple as ever.

Mental energy collection module: the module would filter and collect the mental energy of people who sincerely trusted and admired the host.

Luke had some doubts about this module and repeatedly asked the system about it.

The system indicated that the mental energy collected by this module was whatever was automatically released, which was only a very small amount.

It was completely different from what Luke had imagined.

In fact, it was just a “waste disposal” function for mental energy.

That was because most of the mental energy that people released was useless and harmful.

Even after the energy was filtered, Luke couldn’t store the mental energy himself. He could only let the collection module collect and store it for him.

This was the special mental energy which returned to Luke when he recalled his clone.

It was the “container” which stored this mental energy which formed the special clone, Star of Justice.

The word “justice” in the clone’s name wasn’t arbitrary.

The clone was made up of parts of Luke’s body and mind, as well as 100,000 credit points.

Part of the credits which the clone consumed every day was used to isolate the “corruption” that was this mental energy.

Mulling over this new function, Luke said a moment later, “Why don’t we change the name of the module?”

The system didn’t say anything.

Luke said, “I think collecting someone else’s mental energy sounds evil. Let’s call it ‘power of faith collection module.'”

The system still didn’t say anything, but the words on the new panel changed.

Pleased, Luke nodded when he saw the new name, and the number next to it jumped every now and then: 12,039… 12,041.

This number was much less than his experience and credit points, and it was first displayed up to two decimal points.

Given his OCD, Luke simply told the system to hide the decimal points.

He estimated that the people who casually commemorated Batman with everyone else probably wouldn’t even contribute 0.01 points of faith.

After all, the power of faith released by most people only occupied a small part of their minds, and was basically “mental waste.”

And what Luke could actually use was even less.

All he knew for now was that the power of faith could help him “develop” and increase his mobility and destructive power.

He wasn’t sure about defensive capability since that ancient witch had broken through it the last time.

At first glance, it looked like faith overlapped with credit.

After thinking for a moment, however, Luke knew that this wasn’t the case.

Credit was much more precious than the power of faith.

Buying abilities was just its most basic use. It could also be used to expand his inventory, summon the clone, and supply cultivation energy for the Kunlun Chi Refining Technique.

In comparison, using it to enchant weapons and telekinesis or to directly kill an opponent was more wasteful.

It was all Mephisto’s fault for misleading Luke.

Back then, the system had spent 60,000 credit points to severely injure Mephisto, which made Luke pay more attention to the lethal use of credit points.

Today, the credit he had used for the Kunlun Chi Refining Technique actually increased his Dexterity by two stats.

He suddenly realized that credit was a “universal” energy. Using it purely to kill the enemy was putting a cap on how useful it could be.

It was like oil: It wasn’t wrong to make Molotov cocktails with it, but that wasn’t its biggest use.

It was undoubtedly foolish to think that its only use was for burning an enemy to death.

Naturally, Luke wasn’t that stupid. He had used most of his credit points in the right places, and had earned back most of it from the guys he had killed.

Now, he had finally found the right way to think through some vague notions, and was even clearer about his future path..
