LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 414: Loophole Advantage
Before checking my stats, I decided to allocate all of my attribute first to Mind Power. It stood out as my most crucial attributes, and I knew that bolstering it further would only benefit me.
As I faced off against progressively stronger adversaries, it became apparent that my current level of Mind Power was insufficient. My teleportation alone consumed a substantial portion of it, emphasizing how much more I needed to strengthen it.
Although I possessed a passive ability that regenerated my Mind Power, its effectiveness dwindled rapidly in the heat of battle.
The sheer intensity of combat quickly outpaced its restorative capabilities. Moreover, I am aware about the direct correlation between the power of my skills and the corresponding increase in Mind Power required to utilize them effectively.
This highlighted the urgent need for me to strengthen my Mind Power if I were to fight against more powerful beings in the future.
"Status," I muttered to myself.

My Mind Power had risen to 60 or above, which was a positive development, but it still fell short of what I needed.
Imagine if I could teleport without any limits! Dodging those beams of light would become so much easier.
That concept might seem like a child dream for others, but with the system at my disposal, I was confident that I could attain such a status.
Next on the agenda was assessing how much I had leveled up in proportion to the number of casualties
"I've only leveled up six times despite racking up so many kills," I mumbled to myself. The experience required for each level had increased dramatically, making progress slower and more challenging than I had anticipated.
And the further I advanced, the more it would expand and become more challenging to achieve.
I could only obtain attribute points by leveling up or completing special missions; therefore, acquiring skill points was considerably easier for me. Attribute points were the real scarcity here.
Regarding the special mission, I began to lose focus on them due to my demanding schedule, and at my level, I required a large number of those girls to make it worthwhile.
I still intend to finish them, though; I have the girls' information, and they were all high-quality material for my harem. It would be ashamed not to collect them in the future.
Next
Was the increased EXP cap, kills in this experiment only earned one skill point per kill. But, I'm not complaining because, in truth, I didn't kill those people. I was innocent and there was no blood in my hand.
It was purely coincidental that they were present while I was evading a beam of light that accidentally killed them.
Well, let's put it this way: If I was playing dodgeball with cars and one of them decides to slam into an unsuspecting pedestrian, am I really going to blame the person who's nimble enough to dodge out of the way? Nah, it's all on the driver for not paying attention to the rules of the road.
So, in essence, it was all the Time Wraiths' fault for causing the deaths of those humans.
'Alright, let's see what happens next,' I muttered to myself, squinting at the key icon on the screen. I began nudging those digital numbers up, like I was cracking the code to unlock the secrets of the universe.

As the notification pinged, a strange sensation surged through me, compelling me to teleport underground
My body, usually tough and not bothered by almost anything, suddenly felt really painful . It was like invisible claws were scratching me, making me feel uncomfortable deep down. This weird feeling was very different from how I usually feel, making me realize how vulnerable I was at that moment.

I noticed that all my stats had gone up by one level, showing that my body had gotten stronger. But the most striking change was in my Mind Power, which had gone up by a whole 50. That meant I now had 500 bonus attribute points in that area, which was a huge improvement.
I had hoped to gain another random skill after reaching 100 MP, but it seems the system didn't count bonus attributes. Well, I shouldn't really complain; I nearly doubled my Mind Power in one shot.
'The keys didn't unlock the door. Maybe I need to keep increasing its level?' I mused to myself. 'Perhaps the secret to opening that door lies in maximizing all my stats?'
I had heard before that I was only at the first tier, which meant I needed to unlock more tiers to gain additional benefits. It was a direct way to get stronger, but it also brought some problems with it.
The requirements had suddenly skyrocketed, jumping from 10,000 to 100,000. It was lucky that I had found a fast way to farm; otherwise, I would have spent years leveling up before reaching that amount. Those Time Wraiths were truly a blessing in disguise.
'I want to go for another round, but my skills are on cooldown,' I muttered to myself. The first attack was always the most powerful, so I needed all my power to survive. Moreover, if my guess was correct, this third time was sure to be even more powerful.
I had this gut feeling that I wouldn't be able to exploit this loophole forever . At this rate, if the difficulty doubled every time, I could end up meeting my death.
