The things that had taken the biggest leap were vitality and mentality. For one, his constant injuries had probably caused his body"s natural healing abilities to go into over-drive, and he had luckily gained the extra point at random from the boar beast, considering Zhao Wei"s recklessness it was a G.o.d-send attribute.
Although the reptile"s abilities were strong, their overall counts weren"t that high, at random, none of the attributes they gave matched each other, so it had almost no visible effect. In fact most of Zhao Wei"s growth were from his own training. Although his pa.s.sive seemed nice, the difficulty in just killing one was already ridiculous much less the fact that the attributes they gave were random. Even if he killed 100 reptiles, he"d only gain less than a quarter of one lizard"s strength.
What the voice didn"t count for was that it"s system acted as a control for the growth of humans although their overall limit had been released. For Zhao Wei, he was only given the preliminary boost in skill attainment and limiter release. This meant, the more Zhao Wei pushed himself, the more he could maximize the potential of his limiter release which wasn"t managed by the system"s understanding of growth. This fit well with Zhao Wei"s brutal treatment of himself.
His mentality was literally forged through pushing his consciousness to the extreme while enduring the pain and exhaustion he experienced since his beginning here, jumping it 4 points higher during this duration.
The Toxic resistance was caused by Zhao Wei"s abuse of the reptile toxin as a paralytic agent to allow him to climb which exposed him to it for more than 10 hours combined with a random attribute he received from one of the lizards.
Even now he wanted to push himself to keep going, if only he could even lift a finger. He had to go through his "healing" again. His consciousness didn"t leave him in the end like the last time but his body was as stiff as a board, he"d tied a rope around both his arms which Panda used like a harness to pull him into his room.
A few days up here and it had learned how to use the door, ensuring Zhao Wei wouldn"t fall into the same precarious situation as the last time.
If Zhao Wei was staying here long term, he"d have built a better system for moving up and down the hill which would literally take up half his day hours. But he couldn"t let himself stay comfortable, this was not where he would stop. He would leave once he was strong enough to preserve his own life through this crazy world. The excruciating climbs up and down served as good physical training.
But what he needed the most right now was not his overall physical capabilities. Regardless of how fast he progressed, every creature"s physical abilities were leaps and bounds ahead of his, not to mention certain traits of theirs like the toxin in the reptile"s mouth. Everytime he fought them, he"d have to put his life on the line to only be rewarded by small amounts improvement in only one attribute.
What he needed to do was increase his trap skill somehow. This was the only thing giving him an edge in battle for now.
He had wondered about the charging of the Wrap Trap. Although he could charge one trap in less than three charges, he found that he could keep charging it beyond just completion.
Originally, with his Mentality status only at 3 he could only charge it beyond completion for so long. But now he could charge it more than an hour beyond completion.
Testing it out, the form was the same but it"s strength almost quadrupled. He made less traps in the span of a night but the quality of each was beyond what it was before.
However he couldn"t spend all that time just continuously charging it, it took around 2 and a half hours now to charge a trap to the highest point Zhao Wei could push it. Combined with his rest time it would take 3 hours for a single trap. In both the day hours and night hours he would have to just continuously sit down to charge enough traps to use if that was the case.
Hence, he began to try charging while doing other things such as skinning, storing materials and preparing equipment. Again he found his charge time was lowered because his concentration was split into two.
The rhythm was that he would spend more than 4 hour charging while doing other things, then stop for an hour and a half to rest and then complete his charge. In a single day he"d be able to create only about 7 traps.
But he was getting better at it, he could feel a hint of something everytime he charged, like a follow of some kind, connecting him and the mark. However, whenever he connected to this flow, it was like he was being overwhelmed by sensations beyond what he was used to and he would black out almost immediately.
It wasn"t something he could deal with just with experience, he felt that with time he"d understand what it was. But for now he needed to prepare himself to the best of his capabilities.
During his exercises now, he"d add weights with rocks strapped to his body to give it some resistance. With his growth, even hours of the old training would barely give him any trouble, he needed to push himself to the edge. Unbeknownst to him, everywhere else, he would have already been called a psycho had they known what he was doing.
