Chapter 74 - LVL 12
Adam went to the opposite corner of the dojo and lay on the ground as he ordered the system to take him into the dungeon.
After a few seconds, he felt his soul being sucked out of his body as he opened his eyes to the familiar rain forest environment.

Looking at his status, Adam could see that he had gained 309 EXP from training, which he was pleased with, but wasn't enough for him to be satisfied with.
But what he also noticed by looking at his system points and gold, he would gain a system point for every EXP earned, even from reality, but he wouldn't gain gold, which he could only gain from killing beasts.
"Today I will hunt alone without summoning my summons which will allow me to hunt for longer and also gain more experience" decided Adam.
He equipped two scale vambraces, that had hardly any durability left, along with the wolf sabre, that would break at any moment.
Adam needed a new weapon to hunt with desperately, and the Wood Pythons that he was hunting currently were not providing him what he needed.
"I need to LVL UP before I move deeper into the forest and should aim for LVL 13 before then. Hopefully, the next stage of Floor 2 has a beast that I can loot a weapon from" mumbled Adam.
Adam began hunting any Wood Python he came across and after using up all his IESP and EESP, he had killed 18 Wood Pythons.
Now with his Dungeon Form that was upgraded to LVL 2, killing only 18 beasts within less than an hour, he had gained 207 EXP.
"Finally, I will be able to progress quickly again" exclaimed Adam joyously as his drive was reinvigorated.
After recovering, Adam frantically began searching for Wood Pythons around the outer area of Floor 2, wanting to increase his speed as quickly as possible.
15 hours later he suddenly heard the notification from the system that he was waiting for.
{LVL UP - You are now LVL 12 and have an increase in all stats and an extra stat point, where do you wish to spend your stat point} announced the system.
[System show me my status, including my points and gold] ordered Adam.
{Ding, the host's current status, including the host's points and gold, is:
Mortal LVL: 12
Dungeon Form LVL: 2
EXP: 0 / 2500
HP: 163 / 230
IESP: 21 / 28
EESP: 19 / 28
Strength: 24
Speed: 24
Intelligence: 27
Resistance: 24
Charisma: 5
Luck: 5
System Points: 1091
Stat Points: 1
Gold: 34360} informed him the system as the tab also appeared before him.
Adam was only a rank 1 Novice, but some of his stats were close to that of a rank 2 Novice and he also cultivated both Internally and Externally, which gave him an advantage over his opponents.
[Spend the stat point on HP] decided Adam, noticing that it was his weakest stat.
With the system, that gave him unlimited potential, Adam had no reason to lower his ambitions and wanted to become the strongest cultivator that was strong in all aspects.
He wanted to never have to worry about status, power, strength, wealth and anything else that he needed to live a prosperous life and wanted to provide his aunt with the best life possible, after all the sacrifices she made for him, even though he wasn't her biological son.
[System buy the transferal feature] ordered Adam without hesitation after seeing he had 1000 points.
Adam couldn't wait for the day that he could help his aunt, with the high quality B Rank Mortal Pill, and take her back to his apartment where she could relax and do as she pleased.
Money was the least of Adam's worries, with the incredible amount of gold that he currently had, which could be transferred to 343,600 dollars, and with the backing of the Silver Moon Auction House, that he could ask to take money from.
He had come to a mutual pact with the Silver Moon Auction House's owner, and both of them were only out for their own gain, but benefitted each other and would help each other, to boost their own power.
{Ding, the host has gained the transferal feature of the system. If the host buys an item in the dungeon, for the host to be able to transfer it to reality, it will require the same amount of system points as the price of the item. In the same way, the host can transfer an item from reality to the dungeon, and the system will value it in terms of system points. Only lucky dips allow the host to gain items in reality without a fee, unless the host gains the inventory feature, which will lower the price of transferring items between the dungeon to reality and vice versa. Also, items from the store, if the host wishes to use them in reality, must be transferred through the transferal feature} stated the system.
The price for transferal was shocking, but it was to be expected for such an incredible ability and all Adam needed was slightly more than 300 system points to be able to heal his aunt.
"I will hunt a few more beasts, then will have to miss training, to heal my aunt and spend the day with her" decided Adam, excited to finally see his aunt happy and conscious after the vegetative state she was in for the past few years.
After recovering his lost energy, Adam began searching for more Wood Pythons to hunt, but they were becoming harder and harder to find after he had killed large numbers of them.
Adam didn't rest or leave the dungeon until he had gained enough system points to afford to buy the B Rank Mortal Recovery Pill and transfer it to reality.
He had to search for long periods of time to find the python beasts, that were very scarce in numbers, and luckily just as he killed the last beast he needed to have enough system points, he received a notification from the system.
{Ding, the host has hunted on stage 1 of Floor 2 for too long and no more beasts will be found on stage 1 for the host to hunt} notified him the system.
If he had known about upgrading his Dungeon Form earlier, he wouldn't have had to stay on stage 1. but Adam didn't spend time lamenting on the past.
With that, Adam knew he had to move on the next time he returned to the dungeon, but for now, he was more focused on recovering his aunt.
