Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 82

Chapter 82 Wealth and Expenditure

[450 GTs bonus]?",

[Why is there a distinction between Gene Limits and Stat Limits?]

[A body that has more Genes than Stats is considered to be in a State of Wealth. The body is healthier, bounces back from damage with greater ease, and can unlock higher Stat Limits through rigorous, physical training over long, extended periods of time.

[A body with more Stats than Genes is considered to be in a State of Expenditure. This is usually achieved through methods of Elixir drinking and treasure consuming, a path usually taken by the rich, affluent and lazy. Such a body will be filled with impurities and break down under constant usage]

Sylas frowned. He didn't like that. Obviously he was in this so-called State of Wealth, but Cassarae was not. But as much as he wanted to help her, he only had one more Soft Gene State Elixir and he couldn't give it to her. However, he did have a Brittle Gene State Elixir that would last for three days. Though it wasn't as good as a 50% boost, 30% was definitely far better than her current 10%.

'I still don't know how rare this stuff is,' Sylas thought as his frown deepened. 'Let's see what the Quest rewards are first. Who knows, maybe she'll get an even better Elixir. At that point I can help her out with the Genes.'

Diverting his resources wasn't a smart choice. He felt like concentrating things on him was the best bet, but he also couldn't let Cassarae continuously put this kind of strain on her body every time she fought.

"Don't try to gather the rewards from the gnolls until I get back," Sylas suddenly said.

Cassarae blinked at the sudden change, but eventually nodded.

Sylas ran through the forest swiftly. There was still a halo of fatigue looming over him, but he felt that they couldn't be casual so casual to wait for the morning before getting things done.

It was also a clear sign of trust that Cassarae had allowed him to go as well. Had it been anyone else, Sylas was well aware that she would have insisted he stay.

The value of a city was clear and obvious, and letting Sylas go and claim one that had spawned several F+ warriors and an FF- warrior spoke volumes.

At the same time, though, Sylas was pretty much the only one who still had the legs to do this.

'Why do I feel like this…'

Sylas questioned himself as he continued to run. It felt like he was missing something, but he had an easy path toward figuring out what it was.

This was unusual for him. He didn't usually act without a solid understanding or a plan. This time, he was purely acting for the sake of lessening risk.

'That will have to be enough.'
