[ Mission completed ]

[ Reward: 250 points ]

Yes!!! Finally, I can buy things from the system's store.

With 250 points for this mission and 20 points from last time, that's 270 points. I think I have enough to buy something.

System, open the store.

Cultivation Manuals ]

Wow, if I use the cultivation manuals, I can fly in the sky and destroy mountains and oceans like in the manga and novels I used to read.

System, open the cultivation manual.

[ 265 points to unlock the first part of the cultivation manual ]

What? So many points just for the first part? What kind of scam is this?

[ Initially, there were countless cultivation techniques, and it's up to the host to choose which one they want. ]

[ After the upgrade, only one remains, which is the being from the higher dimension left specifically for the host. ]

[ To prevent the host from focusing on cultivation and forgetting their main mission. ]

[ We divided the technique into several parts. ]

[ And each part is accessible only after meeting certain requirements. ]

No, no, no... I want to fly right now. Give me the entire technique, and I promise I'll do whatever you want.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

Ahem, I was too excited, sorry. Okay, give me the first part of the technique.

[ Ding! ]

[ First part of the technique: Quantum Ether Transcendence received ]

After the system's notification, an astronomical amount of information flooded my brain.

In ancient philosophy, ether was often considered a superior and immutable element, situated beyond the earthly elements (earth, water, air, fire). It was often associated with the heavens or the celestial sphere. And it's not far from the truth. From what I understood from the technique, ether is the element that separates dimensions. It prevents higher-dimensional civilizations from conquering other civilizations and stops lower-dimensional civilizations from seeing other dimensions. It's a form of protection if you will. But ether isn't limited to that; it can be used in small quantities throughout the universe as an energy source or a means to bend space for long-distance travel. And this technique allows me to control this ether. Not only can I be invincible in this dimension, but I can also traverse other dimensions at will in the future!

Thank you, system! Thank you to the being who gave me this technique.

Just as I was about to meditate and comprehend the first part of the technique, the system's sound echoed.

[ New missions ]

You're making fun of me!! This is not the time for that!!

[ That's why you weren't allowed to have the complete technique. ]

Okay, okay, sorry. Go ahead, continue.

[ Mission 1: First Steps

Explanation: The host must take their first steps into university life.

Requirement: Enroll in a university in a scientific field.

Reward: 20 points ]

This mission again, but it works out well because I'll soon start university classes, and I need to go there to complete my registration.

[ Mission 2: ... ]

Stop!!

[ What? ]

There's no point in telling me the other missions; I choose the first one.

[ Let me finish at least. ]

No, I choose the first one, let me meditate, don't talk to me anymore. Hahaha, I'll soon be able to fly.

[ You fool. ]

[ The host has chosen mission 1 ]
