Grimm had been too rash when he consumed the Concentration Potion this time.
Based on his understanding of the process, he would need to wait at least three to four days before he could consume the potion again. However, he was young and strong, and his body was in a period of rapid growth. Hence, he could not wait any longer and chose to consume the potion again.
And the consequences of this were very obvious.
The first time he consumed the potion, his vitality had only decreased by 0.85 points. The second time, it had decreased by 1.05 points. It was not hard to imagine that if Grimm were to consume a third bottle, his points would drop by almost 2 points at once.
After all, the A.I. Chip's statistics were only a representation of the body's attributes. These four main physical attributes were not isolated. Instead, they supported each other and influenced each other. For example, Spirit and Agility affected long-range accuracy and attack frequency. Spirit and Strength affected reflexes and explosiveness. Vitality was the foundation of all attributes. When combined with other attributes, vitality, defense, resistance, and evasion would be affected.
When Grimm's vitality dropped from 4.98 to 3.17, this decrease of almost 2 points did not only decrease his vitality, but also caused his entire life system to deteriorate.
Now, Grimm felt as if his entire body was being hollowed out.
The feeling of emptiness and hunger caused by the rapid decline of his vitality made his organs feel as if they were on fire.
Unable to stand up, Grimm could only ring the small bell on the wooden table.
With a soundless ripple, a wooden face suddenly appeared on the surface of the blank wooden table.
"Lord Grimm, may I know what special service you require?" The wooden face actually spoke.
"Food! I need food now! Now, immediately, immediately! "
"May I know what grade of food you require? We have an ordinary set meal for nobles. The delicacy of the food is guaranteed to be the best among human nobles. Each set only costs 1 magic crystal. We also provide a Mana Set Meal. The ingredients are all from the middle and high-grade magical beasts in the depths of the Creela Mountains. Each set only costs 5 magic crystals. "
"Mana Set Meal, I want it immediately!"
"Understood! Your reservation has been accepted. Please place the payment in my mouth! "As the words were spoken, the face on the wooden table suddenly opened its mouth.
Grimm took out five magic crystals from his waist pouch and placed them in the mouth of the human face. The originally solid wooden sculpture had now become a crack leading to a hidden space, swallowing the magic crystals.
After the wooden face swallowed the magical crystal, it suddenly expanded and turned into a square wooden box. When the box finally exploded into countless wooden threads and returned to the wooden table, a piping hot steak on a silver tray was revealed.
Exquisite silver knives and forks, fragrant fried steak, sprinkled with some red, blue, and white side dishes and delicious sauce, there was also a glass of fragrant wine on the side.
Although Grim had never paid much attention to the food, he was not too picky. But today, he had no choice but to admit that meticulously matched delicacies were indeed a huge psychological and physiological compensation for sorcerer-apprentices who had been immersed in their boring daily lives for a long time.
Without caring about any table manners, Grim quickly devoured the steak with the ferocity of a hungry ghost. When all the steaks were in his stomach, the burning hunger from before was finally suppressed.
"A.I. Chip, can you determine what meat this is?"
[Beep. Probability of Ironclad Rhinoceros 87%, Violent Beast 10%, Grey Pouch Beast 2% …]
The A.I. Chip listed out a long list, but the possibilities of the last seven or eight were so low that they could be ignored. Only the first few had the highest possibility.
Grim licked his lips, which were still hungry, and drank the glass of wine.
He could clearly sense that the Mana Set Meal he had just eaten was worlds apart from the Earth Fire Dragon meat he had eaten yesterday. Moreover, the Ironclad Rhinoceros was most likely a mid-grade earth elemental magical beast. The elemental aura in its meat was not compatible with his elemental affinity. Although it could still provide him with a large amount of life force, it did not benefit his fire elemental aptitude.
It seemed that if he wanted to supplement his life force and fire elemental aptitude at the same time, he could only choose the meat of fire-elemental magical beasts, and the higher the rank, the better.
Thus, under the urge of hunger, Grim rang the copper bell again.
As expected, when Grim straightforwardly asked for a special dish from a fire-elemental magical beast, the wooden face immediately reported a list of delicacies.
Scarlet Flame Tiger
15 magic crystals/kg
Fire Lizard
20 magic crystals/kg
Inferno Hound
25 magic crystals/kg
Fire Swallowing Sparrow
30 magic crystals/kg
… …
… …
Grim closed his eyes and listened quietly, occasionally asking a few questions. Soon, he chose the dish that suited him the most, the stir-fried heart of a Inferno Hound.
After paying the 25 magical crystals, the wooden face quickly devoured the remains of the previous meal and created a new set of delicacies.
This time, it was not a steak, but a beating heart. There seemed to be a fire source sealed in the fist-sized heart. When it first appeared, it was still red, but with a flash of the fire source, flames shot up to the roof and disappeared in an instant.
When the heat gradually dissipated, a fragrant stir-fried heart of a Inferno Hound appeared in front of Grim.
Grim first used a knife to make a small incision on the heart, and drank the warm heart blood in one gulp. When the hot and tempting warmth flowed down his esophagus to his stomach, Grim could not help but close his eyes to enjoy it for a moment.
Soon, after wolfing down the Inferno Hound's heart, he cut it into even pieces and put them into his mouth. When each piece of meat released a flood of fire elemental energy in his stomach, Grim could not help but close his eyes and open his mouth to moan.
The surging fire elemental energy in his body made him sweat profusely, but it also made him feel extremely comfortable.
After eating two consecutive Inferno Dog Set Meals, the great damage to his physique was finally replenished by a portion, and even his spiritual force had a slight increase.
Strength: 4.04, Agility: 4.30, Constitution: 3.34, Mental Power: Strength: 4.04, Agility: 4.30, Constitution: 3.34, Spirit: After the wooden face cleaned up the mess on the table, Grim held his round belly with both hands and moved himself onto the bed with great difficulty to begin his daily meditation.
It had to be said that after the targeted nourishment, Grimm's Deep Meditation had increased his Spirit by an unprecedented 0.11 points. This was 0.03 points higher than the usual 0.08 points. From this, it could be seen that if he consciously increased the density of fire elemental energy in his body or around him before meditation, it could indirectly increase the efficiency of meditation.
Grim ordered the A.I. Chip to record this point, and he used his free time to analyze the meditation method that was most beneficial to him. After doing all this, Grim sighed and fell asleep.
… …
He slept until he woke up naturally!
After an unknown amount of time, Grim finally woke up from his sleep, full of energy. His entire body was filled with an inexhaustible amount of energy.
Of course, this was only a feeling of swelling after his energy was full. After all, his vitality was only 3.34 points, and his strength was only 4.04 points. This kind of data was not shameful for a junior acolyte, but for an intermediate acolyte, it was obviously too 'weak'.
Even if he did not walk the path of body refinement, an intermediate acolyte should still increase his strength, agility, and vitality to more than 5 points. Only then would his vitality not be a burden to his spiritual force, and he would always be in a state of abnormal development. Of course, extreme examples like the Demonic Worm and Blackwood were not included in this list.
For those fellows, their bodies could no longer be estimated with common sense, and had turned into some other kind of constitution. The Demonic Worm Endik's body obviously had the miraculous effect of sharing life and damage. It was basically an unkillable cockroach.
The Blackwood's constitution was even worse, but it clearly had some indescribable special effects. At the very least, Grim's Demon Crocodile Hunter's Paralyzing Gaze did not seem to have any effect during the battle. It was obvious that the Demonic Worm's strange constitution was immune to it.
Grim stretched his body. Just as he was about to go to the library to take a look, someone knocked on the wooden door.
The person who came was Mary.
When Mary, dressed in a red dress, walked proudly into the room, her eyes were filled with confusion that could not be concealed.
"Your … your spiritual force has already reached 10 points?"
The strange feeling that pervaded Grim's body made Mary unable to confirm whether her senses were wrong, but this spiritual force undulation clearly belonged to an intermediate acolyte.
"Yes, I just broke through yesterday. Right, you're here to ask about the spoils of war, right? I'll tell you a piece of good news. I sold the spoils of war without a hitch, and I even got these treasures! "As he spoke, Grim took out a bottle of Spirit Concentration Potion from his waist pouch.
Mary took the Spirit Concentration Potion in her hands and looked at it carefully. Her face showed a look of sudden understanding, and she immediately returned it to Grim.
"You can keep this thing! This low-grade potion is useless to me, but it's still useful to you. Remember, don't use it continuously. Remember to take care of your body after using it. Otherwise, your body will be in a terrible state! "
Grim was slightly taken aback.
Although he had thought that Mary might not care too much about these things, the fact that she had thrown the Spirit Concentration Potion back so easily still exceeded Grim's expectations. One had to know that Spirit Concentration Potions could only be exchanged for 5 contribution points and 5 magic crystals in the Magus Tower. As for how precious contribution points were, anyone who had been to the Underworld once would understand.
