Ke Ling quickly understood that in the [Limit System], 10 points was the average value for humans, and most humans' attributes were around 10 points. However, because he often trained, his strength, agility, and physique were all slightly stronger than ordinary people, after all, he was a person with muscles.
As for his intellectual superiority, Ke Ling could find the reason: he had always learned things faster than others since he was a child.
This is a matter of personal talent, just like his charm score of 15 points. There's nothing else to it; it's simply because he's too handsome.
"Limited System, add points."
Ke Ling glanced at the skill description and unhesitatingly added the remaining attribute points to his constitution. Then he saw that the duration of the immortality state had changed to 34 hours.
"As expected, it's a 1:2 conversion rate."
Ke Ling nodded. He had guessed this from the 32 hours and 16 points of physical condition, and now he could confirm it directly.
The 1 point of physique that Ke Ling received not only extended his immortality by two hours, making him more durable, but also caused some changes in his body. He seemed to have become more resilient and stronger in resisting blows.
After adding the attributes, Ke Ling turned his attention to the skill. This [Ghost Transformation] skill indeed had two drawbacks: "death upon exposure to light" and "cannibalism," which he had already experienced.
"This is outrageous! It debunks the light-reflecting curse, cannibalism, and reduces charm by 10 points, but in return, it increases strength, agility, and constitution by 5 points each?"
Ke Ling couldn't help but facepalm. Could it really be as Muzan Kibutsuji said, that his talent as a demon was just too poor?
"Limit System, add points!"
Ke Ling was somewhat indignant, so she directly added that skill point to [Demon Transformation].
[Demon Transformation Lv2: Transformed into a demon by the blood of the Demon King, Strength, Agility, and Constitution +6, Charisma -10, gains Blood Demon Art and Constitution Transformation status.]
As soon as the stat points were added, Ke Ling felt a significant improvement: Strength, Agility, and Constitution all increased by 1, resulting in a comprehensive enhancement of his physical attributes.
"One skill point is equivalent to three attribute points."
The upgrade effect of [Demon Transformation] was only so-so, but Ke Ling was still quite satisfied.
At least this is a comprehensive improvement in strength, agility, and physical attributes, rather than a separate increase in one attribute, or a change in charm from -10 to -9.
If upgrading is so frustrating, Ke Ling will probably just give up on upgrading this skill altogether.
But Ke Ling still wanted to complain. Compared to the buffs, the 10-point charm debuff was so glaring. Even his charm, which was as high as 15 points, dropped to 5 points after [Demonization], which was already a failure.
After all, 10 points is just the level of an average face. If it's an ordinary person, their charm will drop to 0 points after being "demonized". Those who are already ugly might even have their charm drop to negative.
But thinking about it, it seems quite normal. Ghosts are creatures that eat people, are afraid of light, and are strangely shaped. What charm do they have?
Ke Ling turned his attention to the skill optimization points. Literally speaking, these skill optimization points might be his savior.
After all, the side effects of "demonization" were really pushing Ke Ling's limits as a human being; he really didn't want to eat people!
Compared to the "cannibalism" that makes one "dying in the light," this flaw doesn't seem so unacceptable; at worst, one can just go out at night.
"Limited System, add points."
With anticipation, Ke Ling allocated her skill optimization points to [Demon Transformation].
Optimization complete.
The term "cannibalism" has been changed to "common eating".
"Sharing food: In addition to human flesh, one can also consume the flesh of demons."
""
Ke Ling's expression froze as she looked at the words on the pop-up window.
"Are you optimizing your mother?!"
Please read my new book! It's really important! Thank you so much, dear readers!
Chapter 3 The tragedy of annihilation
Looking at the results of the skill optimization, Ke Ling couldn't help but rub his temples. On the bright side, at least he wouldn't have to eat people anymore, right?
But think about it again, aren't ghosts just transformed humans?!
"I'm fucking impressed!"
Ke Ling was a little overwhelmed, but he quickly realized that if one optimization didn't work, he could continue to optimize it!
This time you've progressed to being able to eat ghosts, so maybe next time you'll be able to eat grass? And the time after that, maybe you'll be able to eat normal food?
Besides, no matter what, ghosts can't be considered human anymore. Every time he eats a ghost, he's contributing to world harmony!
This result is barely acceptable.
"This system is indeed a bit outrageous. Let's try to upgrade it first. Based on my years of experience playing games, upgrading will give you attribute points, skill points, skill optimization points and the like."
With more skill optimization points, this weakness can always be eliminated!
One of Ke Ling's strengths is her optimism. People who can find joy in hardship often have a resilient personality and are not easily defeated by difficulties. Currently, these difficulties are not enough to stop Ke Ling from moving forward.
After closing the [Personal] page, Ke Ling opened the [World] interface to check if the charging progress bar for the time travel function had progressed.
"It's already reached 10%?"
Ke Ling was somewhat surprised. He had only been in this world for a short time, and the cooldown progress of the [Transmigration] function had already reached 10%. The progress bar was moving very quickly.
"It seems that the cooldown time for this time travel function is very short, probably only one or two days."
Because he didn't know the exact time, Ke Ling couldn't be sure; he only made a rough estimate.
He felt that he had been in this world for no more than five hours, and in those five hours, he had already made 10% progress. The cooldown would probably be completed in about two days.
This means that in just about two days, Ke Ling can begin her next trip to another world.
"For the next two days, the main task is to survive, and the side task is to level up as much as possible, earn skill optimization points, and then optimize the weaknesses of the [Demon Transformation] skill."
Ke Ling set himself a small goal: to survive for two more days. In his current state, survival is definitely a big challenge.
As for whether to leave in two days, that depends on the situation. At least then we'll have a backup plan, so if we encounter danger, we can choose to leave this world.
Ke Ling is currently enduring hunger. He doesn't know how much longer he can endure it, but he will always stick to his bottom line.
Looking towards the cave entrance, the snow outside was falling heavier and heavier, and the cold wind kept blowing into the cave.
"So, while this start is hellish enough, it's not that hellish, is it?"
Leaning against the cave wall, Ke Ling smiled helplessly and accepted reality.
Hunger forced Ke Ling to fall asleep. The physical and mental shock left him exhausted. Most importantly, he wanted to get through the hunger.
Then, after sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Ke Ling was awakened by a fragrance, the same fragrance he had smelled at the foot of the mountain earlier.
"somebody is coming?"
Ke Ling immediately realized this upon opening his eyes. After all, at this time of day, the only thing that could make him feel a "fragrant aroma" was probably a "human" creature. The smell of a ghost was completely different.
Ke Ling instantly became alert, while also trying hard to control his overflowing saliva. Perhaps it was because he was too hungry, but the smell was just too tempting!
"Gulu."
Ke Ling swallowed hard and looked toward the cave entrance. It was already daylight, and the light at the entrance was exceptionally blinding, the kind of blinding light that seemed like it would explode if you looked at it too long.
At the entrance, a boy was peeking inside, and Ke Ling could see a very obvious burn-like scar on his forehead.
"Could this be Tanjiro Kamado?"
The moment Ke Ling saw the boy, he immediately thought of the protagonist from the world of "Demon Slayer." Now he's used to this kind of transformation from anime characters to live-action.
"Hello, is anyone inside?"
Tanjiro peeked in cautiously from the entrance of the cave, but instead of going in directly, he politely asked at the entrance first.
Tanjiro Kamado has an incredibly sensitive nose, a sensitivity beyond what most people can comprehend. As he passed by, he smelled a peculiar scent, a scent he had never smelled before.
This is why Tanjiro Kamado came here. He was carrying a bamboo basket on his back, which was full of charcoal. He was originally going down the mountain to sell charcoal.
"Excuse me, I'm feeling a bit unwell. Please don't come in."
Upon realizing who was at the door, Ke Ling immediately answered, but for a moment he paused, wondering when he had learned Japanese.
He didn't even realize at first that Tanjiro Kamado was speaking Japanese, because he understood it without any difficulty.
However, Ke Ling quickly found the reason: isn't it normal for the [Limit System], which allows people to travel between worlds, to have a built-in language translation function? It's the most basic function.
"Ah! I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous!"
After receiving a response from the "mysterious creature" in the cave, Tanjiro Kamado was somewhat surprised. He apologized first, and then honestly turned to leave.
But before leaving, he hesitated, turned back, and asked into the cave:
"How can I help you?"
Tanjiro Kamado was surprised because he hadn't expected that there was actually a human inside, since the smell seemed completely different from the human smell he was most familiar with.
But since it's a human, and it sounds like it's in trouble, Tanjiro Kamado is willing to offer some help, as being stuck on the mountain in this weather is no good.
"Thank you, but no need. Please just leave me alone."
A voice came from inside the cave, clearly conveying a message that wanted the people outside to leave quickly.
Tanjiro Kamado awkwardly touched his nose. It seemed that his appearance had indeed disturbed the people in the cave, perhaps even disturbing their rest.
He thought about it for a moment and realized that if he were woken up by a stranger, he would probably feel very uncomfortable as well. It was already quite commendable that he could respond politely.
"I'm sorry to have bothered you, I'll be leaving now."
Thinking of this, Tanjiro Kamado bowed towards the cave and then ran away, afraid of being urged by the people inside.
Ke Ling waited a moment, and after confirming that Tanjiro Kamado had really left, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although I haven't watched "Demon Slayer," I know that the protagonist is a professional demon slayer.
Although Ke Ling has never actually eaten a human, if Tanjiro Kamado were to see him drooling like this, the demon slayer probably wouldn't believe him.
"I have to hold back. Once some bottom lines are crossed, it will be difficult to get back on track."
Although Ke Ling was so hungry that his brain was spinning, he was still very clear-headed about this point.
You must not eat people, you absolutely must not eat people. Once you start, it will be impossible to stop.
If he really fell to that level, he would be no different from those evil spirits. Even if he later managed to eliminate the side effects of his "cannibalism," he could never go back to his original mental state.
Suppressing his hunger, Ke Ling continued to sleep. It was still daytime, and he couldn't go out. He had no other way to fight off hunger except by sleeping.
In this situation, it was not easy to fall asleep. Hunger kept eroding Ke Ling's spirit, making him toss and turn. This was a kind of pain different from physical pain.
