Chapter 853 Retroactive Rewards
"Help? That sounds pretty condescending, Rain," Roan furrowed his eyebrows.
"Don't mind your father, he isn't a morning person and tends to say stupid things thanks to it," Leiah said and then hit Roan side with her elbow and made him groan. "This should help him wake up a bit faster."
"I mean, helping indirectly, as an apology for letting things end like this," Rain said. "I still need more information, and I think that I will have to continue working a lot for a while longer. I can't make any big changes as I am now and I also don't want to warn our enemies."
The air in the shelter suddenly became thick with confusion and uncertainty as Rain mentioned something like that. His words caught everyone off guard, especially considering his recent return to them after such a prolonged absence. The idea of leaving out on his own struck a troublesome chord among the group, raising concerns and perplexing the others.
Roan, Danny, and Annie showed complex and troubled looks, clearly perturbed by Rain's unexpected proposition.Leiah and Terra, in particular, seemed to cast silent glances toward Roan, Danny, and Annie, as if to suggest that their apparent aloofness or distant behavior toward Rain might have contributed to his decision.
"... We should at least split the work considering that whatever you are doing must be something that will benefit the world," Roan said while scratching the back of his head. Explore stories on My Virtual Library Empire
"We might be able to do that eventually, but for now, that isn't the best option," Rain said. "We all need to keep improving our skills for when we will have to fight again. That includes me. Some time alone will also help me understand the situation the world is in and feel more the result of losing that time. That will be the best option for now."
Danny and Annie felt like they had to say something to make their father change their minds, but they didn't know what to do or say since they felt pretty awkward.
"If you guys think that you need more strength, you should stay here," Rain said. "Some time in isolation will help you learn new techniques, but if you don't think that you need new techniques, reuniting with others is a good option."
"He was nice, but he was awkward around us too," Danny said.
"He is an old man at a delicate age, you can't blame him for that," Rain shrugged. "Anyway, what are your plans now?"
"We will rest for three days and then return to the dungeons if you don't have anything in mind for us to do," Roan declared.
"Three days... it is a bit of a short time, but it will be enough," Rain said and then smiled.
Rain recognized that teaching everyone on how his domain operated and guiding them to do the same could be a time-consuming process. Instead, he assumed an alternative approach—expanding the scope of his domain to influence others.
However, before implementing this plan, he had another idea in mind: compelling the system to provide him with more rewards. He realized that obtaining Parameter Boost earlier would have significantly amplified his power. With this idea, he devised a strategy to pressure the system into retroactively granting him the rewards he missed. This approach seemed promising for the time being.
Rain mulled over different approaches, considering the intricacies of how to exert pressure on the system for the rewards he sought. As thoughts swirled in his mind, a spark of inspiration ignited, resulting in a devious yet intriguing plan that brought a sly grin to his face... things were about to get really interesting.
Calculating retroactively the effects of Parameters Boost...
Thanks to the situation, Rain looked like a very suspicious individual, so his family and friends couldn't help but look at him with dubious eyes.
