Chapter 59 Panel Upgrade
"This special ability has come at just the right time!" Chen Yuan was overjoyed. "I already had a higher affinity for the laws of wind because of cultivating the Thousand Winds Secret Manual, and I could comprehend the meaning of the meaning very quickly. If I add the Heart of Wind... I'm afraid my speed of comprehending the meaning of the meaning will be astonishing."
"Once I collect all nine branches of artistic conception, I will be able to possess a domain!" Chen Yuan's eyes shone brightly.
It's important to know that if someone possesses a domain during the planetary stage, they can be called "invincible among their peers," and even in the universe, they would be worthy of being called a "genius."
"Well, the main goal next is to comprehend the branch of artistic conception. Let's get the domain first." Chen Yuan silently planned in his mind, "After I get the domain, I will go to the 'Battle Space' in the virtual universe to make a name for myself and try to get noticed by the head of the Black Dragon Mountain branch of the virtual universe company and be recruited into the virtual universe company for training."
This is Chen Yuan's plan!
Having experienced the benefits of resources, Chen Yuan deeply understood the importance of resources in the Swallowed Star world... It can be said that in this world, even if a martial artist with resources for cultivation and a martial artist who cultivates alone have similar talents, their cultivation efficiency may differ by hundreds of times!
Furthermore, their future achievements will be vastly different. A martial artist who lacks resources to cultivate might go through countless hardships to become a cosmic-level expert, while a martial artist with resources to cultivate might already be a powerful realm lord.
Therefore, in Chen Yuan's view, it was a wise move to rely on a powerful force for training when one's strength was weak.
As Chen Yuan pondered, the transformation of his body was nearing its end. He got up and went to the bathroom to wash away the impurities expelled from his body, while also opening the attribute panel to check the latest status.
"Huh?" Chen Yuan's gaze suddenly sharpened as he looked at the text that had suddenly appeared on the panel.
[Due to a leap in the host's life essence, the optimization panel is being upgraded... Estimated remaining time: 29:03]
"The panel... has been upgraded?" Chen Yuan noticed the upgrade countdown on the panel. "It should be finished in half an hour, that's pretty fast."
To be honest, Chen Yuan was really looking forward to the upgraded panel. After all, the optimization of the panel had played a crucial role in his current achievements, and the abilities that the upgraded panel would have would also affect Chen Yuan's future cultivation plans.
Taking advantage of the break during the system upgrade, Chen Yuan hurriedly went to the bathroom to wash himself, and then, dressed in casual clothes transformed from the Black God Suit, returned to the living room to wait.
Half an hour later, the system upgrade was completed, and Chen Yuan immediately opened the panel.

"Hmm, did the original power get incorporated into my realm? Because of the 1.1x gene boost, I reached the 10% level right after breaking through to the planetary level?" Chen Yuan quickly scanned the panel, finally focusing his gaze on the bottom of the panel. "There's one more item that can be optimized."
Chen Yuan clicked on the details.
[System optimization successful. Added 'Item Optimization' function. By consuming kill points, you can optimize specific items.]
[Due to system upgrade, the Arcane Art optimization slot has increased by 1, and the Item optimization slot has increased by 2.]
"Oh? Besides the added item optimization function, there's also an optimization tab?" Chen Yuan said thoughtfully. "So, in the future, we can optimize two secret techniques and two items at the same time?"
"Not bad, this will greatly increase efficiency in the future." Chen Yuan smiled and, preparing to try out the new function, said, "System, optimize the 'Black God Set'. The optimization direction is: enhance defensive capabilities, so that it is a perfect fit for my body."
[Optimization task established. Optimization target: Black God Set. Optimization direction: Increase defensive capabilities, achieving perfect compatibility with the host.]
[Required kill points: 300 million. Create mission?]
"How much?!" Upon seeing the number, Chen Yuan's eyes widened, and he almost jumped up. "Seriously, system? It's just an upgrade, how could the numbers have inflated this much?"
You should know that the most he ever spent optimizing his secret technique was only 118 points!
Is this system trying to raise prices because it thinks I have too many kill points?
"What exactly is going on?" Chen Yuanqiang suppressed the urge to complain and clicked on the details. "I want to see how such an outrageous expense came about."
After a moment, Chen Yuan nodded slightly: "I see."
To put it bluntly, it's related to the requirements he made; to be precise, Chen Yuan required the items to be a perfect match for him.
According to the system's understanding, this means to deeply bind the item to Chen Yuan and integrate it into his soul, so that from then on, this item can only be used by Chen Yuan himself.
Furthermore, Chen Yuan inquired about the effects of items after they were bound to the system. The system then used the Black God Set as an example, listing four characteristics:
1. Absolutely exclusive: No one but the host can use it.
2. Soul Symbiosis: When the host dies, the item is destroyed; upon resurrection, it automatically reappears.
3. Soul Defense: Provides an additional layer of protection for the soul.
4. Autonomous Evolution: Can gradually strengthen itself as the host grows.
That's why this item optimization is different from the arcane optimization. The actions specifically designed for Chen Yuan will not only not reduce kill points, but will instead increase consumption by a hundredfold.
With the Black God Set being of high quality, the optimized base kill points are 300, which naturally become 3 million after a hundredfold increase.
It's worth mentioning, however, that items that have undergone deep binding have already merged with the soul, so subsequent optimizations will return to normal consumption and will not incur a hundredfold cost each time.
"So, equipment specialization and arcane specialization are exactly opposites," Chen Yuan pondered. "Because arcane techniques themselves have various thresholds, and the higher the level of the arcane technique, the more severe this situation becomes. It's very difficult to find a top-level arcane technique that can fully support everyone's cultivation."
"Therefore, optimizing arcane techniques would be much simpler if we abandoned the 'universality' aspect, requiring only one percent of the resources."
"But item optimization is the opposite. For example, a longsword is inherently universal—anyone who can lift it can use it easily, since there is no barrier to entry for wielding a longsword."
"But if I give up universality, the longsword will become one with my soul, and no one can use this sword unless I agree! Even if I die, the longsword will disappear with me."
"Therefore, this kind of optimization will consume far more resources from the system, possibly requiring a hundred times more kill points to achieve!"
After figuring out these points, Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and then canceled the optimization task.
Of course, Chen Yuan did not give up because of the high cost. In fact, after seeing the many benefits of soul binding, Chen Yuan had decided that all the equipment he used in the future must be exclusively bound.
The reason we're not optimizing now is because item optimization is different from arcane arts, which will manifest in reality. You see, the 'Giant Axe Founder' will be able to go back in time to Earth in the future. The optimization of arcane arts can be attributed to his own talent, but the sudden mutation of items is completely inexplicable.
With the strength of such a powerful being, who knows if they might study his soul and thus detach the system from him? Chen Yuan dared not gamble on such a possibility.
Therefore, his Black God suit, including future weapons, definitely needs to be optimized, but all of this needs to be done after leaving Earth.
Since that's the case, let's stick to the plan and focus on the present moment.
Chen Yuan then closed the panel and dialed Jiang Fang's number.
"Teacher Jiang, I've broken through to the planetary level," Chen Yuan said. "I'm applying for graduation now."
