Chapter 1663: Sturdy Exchange

Disappeared?

Looking at the remaining three options and the exclusive interface, Lin An's expression froze; he instantly realized that the previous nine options were not accessible at his current stage.

With his current permissions, only three functions of the Apocalypse Net are open.

Just like the system's underlying interface, other permissions—he doesn't even have the qualification to see them.

"Too bad.."

Lin An let out a bitter laugh; he had originally been very interested in the last two options, especially the last one.

But he hadn't expected that merely spending a few seconds researching the other options would leave him no time to check them.

He silently sighed.

Suppressing his regret, Lin An no longer dwelled on wasting time.

Time was pressing, so he simply clicked the flashing + panel to investigate.

The exclusive network—perhaps it would have something suitable for him.

"Swish"

As the light curtain changed, it instantly turned into three panels.

"World Exchange Network (unusable within the Star Battlefield)"

"Other World Exchange Network (insufficient permissions)"

"Local System Exchange (usable)"

Likewise, only one was lit up.

Looking at the three options' descriptions, Lin An frowned slightly and directly clicked the Local System.

This world... other world?

It sounded like something similar to a war-zone trade channel and cross-region trade?

If it's local exchange, does it mean what the system provides?

After a moment's thought, Lin An could roughly guess what the three options represented.

If only the system exchange could be used...

His choices would be much fewer... especially, knowing the system's temperament, Lin An's heart sank instantly.

The system's stuff is all expensive...

"Swish"

The light curtain changed again; after this change, it suddenly expanded to cover the entire hall, and dense exchange information instantly filled the whole view.

"【Attribute Exchange】-【Rule Exchange】-【Equipment Exchange】-【Props Exchange】-【Information Exchange】"

"Notice: In the exclusive exchange network, all exchange options are within permission range and tailored to you."

"After consuming D-rank permission, the system will give the current stage's optimal combat power enhancement route (choose one of three)."

"After consuming C-rank permission, the system will give the current stage's optimal rule route (choose one of three)."

"After consuming B-rank permission, the system will give the current stage's optimal promotion route (choose one of three)."

"After permission consumption, retained opened functions. Within exclusive exchange, unusable content has been blocked."

"If you want to view the blocked options, please choose carefully."

Optimal route!? Exclusive enhancement?

This is..

Lin An's expression froze.

Looking at the dense system instructions, although the exchange interface before him resembled the points store, it was obvious that the two words 'exclusive' were not that simple.

"There's an extra information exchange... the meaning of exclusive exchange is... is it the most suitable for me?"

His gaze flickered.

How quick the reaction.

Lin An instantly recalled the large amount of otherworld information he had seen before, and immediately understood the meaning of exclusive.

If nothing unexpected, the so-called exclusive means the system offers too many exchange options—whether equipment or props, or all sorts of miscellaneous things—so many that it's hard to imagine, impossible to view them all.

With so many power systems and rule types, just finding what you want to exchange could exhaust you to death.

Therefore the system filtered out the unsuitable, giving only what was suitable for each.

"System, after the Fifth Stage, are you this thoughtful?"

"It even directly provides a customization plan for enhancement just by consuming permissions?"

Looking at the combat power enhancement route he could exchange for, a flash of unusual color crossed Lin An's eyes.

Having learned from past mistakes, he naturally wouldn't choose to view all the information.

Since the system said it was most suitable for him, he instead wanted to see what they were.

If unsuitable, he could still look for himself later.

"Let's look at attribute exchange first..."

Focusing his consciousness on the attribute exchange interface, Lin An was very curious about the point-to-attribute exchange ratio.

His attributes had stopped increasing after reaching one thousand points.

If he could add a few hundred more points, perhaps there would still be a qualitative change?

Overcoming obstacles with force—of course that would be even better.

Although his current points are likely insufficient, it's still a method.

"Attribute Exchange."

"Current exchange ratio 1:1."

"After 1300 points, the ratio increases to 1:10."

「After 1600 points, the ratio increases to 1:40」

「After 1900 points, the ratio increases to 1:160「

「Current maximum exchangeable attribute: 20 points」

「Warning: Current strength limit, maximum is 1099 points」

「Warning: Current constitution limit, maximum is 1099 points」

「Warning: Current agility limit, maximum is 1099 points」

「Warning: Current willpower limit, maximum is 1299 points」

「If you want to break the limit, the four attributes must meet the 1099-point limit。」

It is completely different from the crude points exchange list.

Lin An looked at the constantly fluctuating attributes, and instantly realized that the strengthening function of the Apocalypse's Net was more detailed and formidable.

Just...

「Too expensive..! 」

Although the Apocalypse's Net's attribute strengthening function exceeded Lin An's expectations, it actually could ignore the Fourth Stage limit, allowing his attributes to strengthen without limit.

But looking at the required points, Lin An couldn't help but Curse Quietly.

1099 points is the current limit? Does that mean the true limit of the Fourth Stage is just this much?

If 1300 points correspond to the combat power of Fifth Stage Initial...

Then he wants to raise his strength to Fifth Stage Initial, the points consumed would be 300, plus all four attributes need to break through, that's a full 1200 points!

This price is enough for a Fifth Stage Peak to sell his life!

And relying solely on attribute stacking to reach Star-Destroying Level combat power, that's 4800 points!

「4800 points... With my current strength, I need to kill 24 Star-Destroying Levels to gather enough! 」

「The whole battlefield doesn't have that many... 」

He now kills Fifth Stage Initial, each is twenty points; estimated Intermediate is two hundred points.

After a simple calculation, Lin An has completely lost hope in attribute exchange.

The cost is too great; he even doubts whether there is a Fifth Stage willing to exchange this...

「The only use of this thing is probably that the Body System's Fourth Stage Peak is stuck at Fifth Stage, and they would exchange it to force a breakthrough.. 」

「As long as you rush above 1100 points, that naturally becomes Fifth Stage? 」

Wryly laughing, Lin An also thought of the use of this function.

He still doesn't know how the Body System can advance to Fifth Stage.

If it weren't for these things, he still couldn't find a way to advance. Then by slowly accumulating points, bit by bit hunting Fourth Stage Peak to gather a hundred points, that wouldn't be a bad way to break through.

Anyway, the Body System's combat power is extremely strong among the same rank; slowly accumulating, maybe he can really accumulate it.

But as this thought flashed through, Lin An didn't know how shocking his idea was.

No one guided him, and no one could tell him Fifth Stage information; he has already made serious misjudgments about many things.

「Let's take a look at Equipment. 」

「Attribute enhancement of 20 points is basically meaningless... 」

Casually turning off the attribute exchange function, Lin An directly clicked onto Equipment.

He can only hope now that the Equipment after Fifth Stage will bring him a little surprise.
