Survival in infinity

Chapter 6: The Exchange Begins

Jack woke up after a restless night, the weight of their upcoming challenge heavy on his mind. After freshening up, he made his way to the hall of the Light Sphere and said to his clone that he will someone him in a few minutes, where Len and Joe were already waiting.

"Good morning," Jack greeted them, noticing the serious expressions on their faces.

Joe nodded in return but asked, "Alright, we're all here, but where's Zheng?"

Jack furrowed his brows and knocked on Zheng's door. A few moments later, Zheng emerged, looking somewhat disoriented. Jack noticed Zheng glancing around the room before addressing the Light Sphere in a confused tone, "Is she... real?"

The Light Sphere responded calmly, "Yes, she is real. All her memories are derived from you."

Jack watched as Zheng's face cycled through a range of emotions. While he couldn't hear the entire exchange, he caught snippets suggesting Zheng was grappling with a profound revelation. However, there was no time to dwell on it now—they had more pressing matters to attend to.

Jack thought so far there is no change in the story.

With everyone present, Jie moved forward to explain the system of attributes. "Attributes are divided into several categories: strength, agility, vitality, and intelligence. Each one has its own benefits, and with enough points, you can make significant upgrades."

Jack listened intently as J continued, "There are six stats you can enhance. Intelligence is correlated with memory and your ability to think. Mental capacity is unknown at the moment because there's no way to test it. Cell vitality affects your recovery rate. Reaction speed and muscle density are obvious and the most useful stats for us."

Jie paused before adding, "Immunisation strength is also important. If your immunisation is strong enough, you might avoid infections or other health risks during certain scenarios."

As they discussed point totals, they're surprised to hear Zheng confess to having over 6000 points and b-certificate,far more than anyone else in the group.

"You should go first, Zheng," Len suggested. "You've got the most points."

Everyone agreed, and Jack watched in awe as Zheng stepped forward to make his exchange. The transformation was far more dramatic than he had expected. Particles of light flowed from the Light Sphere into Zheng's body, enveloping him in a soft glow.

Suddenly, Jie’s excited voice cut through the silence. "Honey, come look at Jesus!"

Lan, both amazed and concerned, asked, "Are our enhancements going to be so dramatic?"

Jie quickly responded, "No. When you enhance your stats, some particles will float from God into your body, then you'll feel stronger. He probably exchanged something amazing."

Jack noticed Zheng looking confused by their reactions. "What's wrong? Did my face change?" Zheng asked, touching his face tentatively.

Jie pressed for more information. "How's it? Tell us what you chose and what your stats are.”

Zheng nodded, then described his choices. "I separated the rank B reward into rank C and D rewards. Then exchanged for entry-level and intermediate-level Qi. And I also exchanged for a vampire mutatiosoonThe group continued discussing as Zheng described his new attributes after the enhancement.

Zheng's Attributes after Enhancement:

Intelligence: 187

Mental Capacity: 232

Cell Vitality: 321

Reaction Speed: 287

Muscle Density: 302

Immunisation Strength: 331

Jie whistled, impressed by the dramatic increases in Zheng's stats. "Those numbers are insane!

Jie, noticing the others' curiosity, explained, "For those of us enhancing attributes directly, it works differently. When you enhance your stats, some particles will float from the Light Sphere into your body, then you'll feel stronger. The cost for each point increases exponentially as your attribute gets higher. For instance, increasing an attribute from 6 to 10 costs around 500 points per point, and anything beyond 10 costs 1,000 or more per point. It gets expensive fast.”

Jack thought that it's always the same , it's destiny.now Zheng has to continuously perform better for his strength to increase because the energies in him are negative and positive. opposite each other they will hamper if they are not growing at the same level.

Lan frowned, clearly contemplating her own situation. Jie, noticing her concern, chimed in, "Len, you should focus on increasing your attributes too. You've got over 1000 points, right? It could make a big difference."

Len hesitated. "But which ones should I improve?"

Jack offered his thoughts. "If I were you, I'd focus on cell vitality and reaction speed first. They're crucial for surviving sudden threats, and it'll help with healing if you're injured. With 1000 points, you can make meaningful gains in those areas without overspending."

Len nodded. "That makes sense. I'll go with that." She turned to the Light Sphere, navigating to the attribute enhancement screen.

After a moment of decision, Len confirmed her choices, allocating 800 points to increase cell vitality and reaction speed.

Len's New Attributes:

Cell Vitality: 105(+30)

Reaction Speed: 105 (+25)

"That should do for now," Len said, a bit of relief creeping into her voice. "I still have 200 points left. I'll save those for later."

Jack smiled, reassured that they were all making progress. His own turn was next, and his mind was already racing with possibilities. As he approached the Light Sphere, Jie’s advice echoed in his mind: "First, take a look at genetic and body enhancement."

Jack navigated through the interface, eyes widening at the vast array of options. Because he have a limited amount of point and only one C-certificates His attention was quickly drawn to two particular enhancements from the world of Naruto:

"Beginner Chakra System: Rating 80, applicable to most movies. Grants the basic ability to mould and use chakra for various techniques. Enhances physical abilities and allows for simple energy-based techniques. Requires a D rank reward and 1500 points."

"Half Uchiha Bloodline: Rating 85, applicable to most movies. Grants the potential to awaken the Sharingan, allowing enhanced perception and the ability to copy techniques. Full mastery requires training and emotional triggers. Requires a D rank reward and 1500 points."

Jack's heart raced. Chakra—the energy that fuels physical and spiritual techniques in the Naruto universe, capable of immense feats when controlled properly. It was a combination of physical energy and spiritual energy that could be moulded to perform various tasks , including enhancing the body or using elemental attacks.

The Uchiha Bloodline was just as appealing. Known for their incredible Sharingan, Uchiha clan members could perceive high-speed movements, copy techniques, and even evolve their Sharingan into powerful abilities like the Mangekyo Sharingan.

He thought that because chakra is a spiritual and physical energy mixture it will be great, and he is only now getting the beginning chapter system but he she can exercise his own and his chapter will increase also and there are various types of power he can use, like elemental power the seal power. And half Uchiha he can use the other half for other bloodlines and combine them.

After careful consideration, Jack made his decision. "I choose the Beginner Chakra System and the Half Uchiha Bloodline."

As soon as he confirmed his choices, a surge of energy rushed through his body. Every cell felt like it was being infused with power. He could feel the chakra pathways forming within him, and a tingling sensation behind his eyes hinted at the potential for awakening the Sharingan.

The others watched in amazement as Jack's body glowed briefly, the enhancements taking effect. When the light faded, he stood there, outwardly the same but feeling fundamentally changed.

"How do you feel?" Len asked.

Jack took a deep breath, sensing the chakra flowing through him. "Different," he replied with a smile. "Powerful. Like I've tapped into something incredible."

Jack thought,"Because I never have any type of energy, the amount of chakra which is inside of my body I can feel. I think I can control it very soon.”

Later, Jack remembered to check his updated attributes. Focusing his thoughts, the attribute panel appeared in his mind's eye:

Jack's Attributes After Enhancement:

Intelligence: 130 (+10)

Mental Capacity: 115 (+17)

Cell Vitality: 105 (+15)

Reaction Speed: 115 (+25)

Muscle Density: 108 (+10)

Immunisation Strength: 102 (+10)

Points Remaining: 201

Jack's eyes widened in surprise. The Beginner Chakra System and Half Uchiha Bloodline had cost him 3000 points, leaving him with these moderate but noticeable improvements to his attributes.

"My attributes... they've increased," Jack said, sharing his attribute panel with the group.

J nodded approvingly. "Not bad. The chakra system and Uchiha bloodline seem to have given you a good foundation. Those increases in reaction speed and mental capacity will be particularly useful."

As Jack closed the attribute panel, he felt a surge of excitement. With these improved stats and new abilities, he felt more prepared for the challenges ahead. However, he knew he had a lot of training to do to make the most of his chakra and Uchiha heritage.

His hand unconsciously moved to his eyes again, wondering when and how he might awaken his Sharingan, and what challenges he would need to overcome to master his chakra abilities. With 201 points left, he also had decisions to make about further improvements.

The group stood in silence for a moment, each contemplating their new abilities and the challenges that lay ahead. They had taken their first step

s into a larger world of power and possibility, but they all knew that this was just the beginning of their journey.
