Sheyan's current authority could only investigate such crucial information. Evidently, improving his 'Gloryheal' level would no doubt be critical in dealing with high intensity, straining and constant battling. At the stage Sheyan and his party was at, defending against the beast horde of the previous world could already be considered their utmost limit of encountering such high intensity battle. Therefore, improving 'Gloryheal' was temporily not necesarry.
Thus, Sheyan's choice was exceedingly clear. 'Asylum' was effective on every individual, and was tremendously useful. Hence, he allocated the 4 party skill points wholeheartedly onto 'Asylum'! Following that, Sheyan discovered that whenever improving the party skill 'Asylum', its enhanced HP/MP bonus supplied were scaled increasingly and compounded.
When 'Asylum' was upgraded from lvl 1 to 2, it merely provided a HP/MP boost of 110 points; a measly 10 points enhancement. Instead after continued investment of points, the next level provided a HP/MP boost of 130 points!
The benefit of that 1 party skill point had been raised significantly by 20 points. When 'Asylum' reached lvl 4, the benefit of 1 skill point had been raised to 30 points enhancement from the previous level.
When Sheyan finally upgraded 'Asylum' to lvl 5, the total effect had been widely increased by (10+20+30+40) 100 points!! At present, 'Asylum lvl 5' already boasted of a 200 points boost in HP and MP! If there were more party skill points, raising 'Asylum' to lvl 6 would result in it providing a boost of 250 points of HP/MP!
Naturally, when 'Asylum' had been upgraded to level 4, Sheyan further received a notification; mentioning his Silver prestige party's ability 'Asylum' had reached lvl 4 and had met the relevant qualifications.
[ Please draw a bonus special effect for the skill 'Asylum lvl 4': ]
[ A: All damage received will be lowered by 2%. ]
[ B: (Rare, Silver party skill unique effect): When receiving an attack by the enemy, 10% chance of a 'Silver-guard' forming. Silvery radiance envelops your body, reducing this damage received by 50%. ]
[ C: Reduce duration of negative buffs by 25%. ]
[ D: Reduce physical damage received by 5%, but elemental damage received increased by 2%. ]
[ E: Reduce elemental damage received by 5%, but physical damage received increased by 2%. ]
[ F (Rare, Silver party skill unique effect): When receiving an attack, 15% chance of recovering 200 HP instantly. This effect has a 30 seconds cooldown duration upon being triggered. (Extremely lucky individuals would be able to trigger this effect once every 30 seconds) ]
[ G: Receive additional 30 HP/ 30 MP. ]
[ H (Rare, Silver party skill unique effect): When consuming any regeneration item, 33% chance of recovering additional 50% HP. ]
[ I (Very rare):????? (Properties unknown) ]
One could tell the prestige of a Silver party from here, even its bonus reward options would issue 3 additional uniquely rare options. Moreover, there was that 'very rare' option. Sheyan then selected option F amongst the choices, which conformed to his norms. No doubt the most valuable option would be option I, but one couldn't wish for perfection in all things. It wouldn't be possible for all exploitations under the sun to be obtained by Sheyan.
After accomplishing his list of affairs, Sheyan could feel fatigue creeping up on him. Even though the harvest from the Avatar world was plenty, most tangible products had been 'digested internally'. Therefore, there wasn't a single item that he could sell off. Sheyan could only entrust that slut Jinkuang to keep tabs on commercial opportunities in the marketplace, before he returned to the present world.
After returning to the present world, Sheyan endured his fatigue to contact Reef. This was a rather urgent issue, and fortunately, Reef had left a contacting method which included his house number and email. Since someone would attend to the house phone anytime, he wasn't afraid of not being able to contact Reef.
An old butler with an english accent answered the call. Discovering that Sheyan was speaking in mandarin, the butler immediately swapped into a precise and fluent mandarin to converse. A butler of such calibre would at least draw a yearly salary of over 100, 000 pounds. Sheyan could tell Reef's status was absolutely not simple, definitely a wealthy tycoon or the child of one. A minute later, the call was redirected to Reef's personal room.
"Ah*~" One could guess the drowsy-eyed state Reef was in upon hearing that."Boss, what is it that requires such urgency?"
(TN:*Yawn sfx)
Sheyan very seriously inquired.
"Have you consumed that 'Alkelu High-energy Injection'?"
Upon hearing that, Reef suddenly became invigorated. His tone became slightly anxious and apprehensive.
"Boss? You're referring to that Growth-hunter promoting......object?? I didn't dare to use it yet, for fear of encountering a sudden breakthrough unexpected variable; was going to discuss it with you guys. Could it be there's a problem with it?"
Sheyan chuckled and replied.
"There isn't a problem. When my military rank had progressed, I had gained free instant access to several information pertaining to it. That thing isn't as complicated as you think. Merely first meeting its usage requirements, before directly injecting it, then choosing from a list of bonus, add some points, listening to the instructions of your nightmare imprint and you'll be ok. After listening to everything, you would then be an official Growth-hunter."
Despite the ten thousands of miles between them, affected by radio frequency and interferences, Sheyan could still hear Reef's heavy breathing over the phone. Sheyan then continued.
"The reason I'm calling is to advise you not to be too hasty in using it."
Reef dejectedly asked.
"Why not? Boss, you don't know this, but my rewards gained from the summary of the previous world had been discounted by roughly 20%! If don't use it by the next world, I'm afraid the benefits gained from mission completion, would be weakened by more than 40%..."
Sheyan smiled gently as he comforted.
"My dear buddy and most excellent partner, don't be anxious. I am currently accumulating free attribute points on my side as well. Undoubtedly, the next world we will face may become relatively more difficult. Therefore, I wish you can temporarily endure this for a while, at least until we accept a main mission of the next world before kicking in your promotion."
"In this way, the main mission we initiate in the next would would have a difficulty that factors in only the ranks of a contestant plus reserve-duty Growth-hunters, and not official Growth-hunter plus reserve-duty Growth-hunter plus contestant. Minimally, our mission difficulty would be simpler, and your ending benefits wouldn't be compromised."
Reef released a long exhalation after hearing that, and very frankly accepted.
"No problem, I'll do as you say."
Sheyan contemplated for a while before adding on.
"Our stay in the present world this time should be relatively longer, are you able to arrange for me......remember that Siberian Death Concentration camp, Tibetan Lamasery monastery for cultivation, and that Black-fist Tempering school of Thailand you mentioned previously? I may pay a visit to all of those places. I can already feel that my innate ability seems to be on the verge of an awakening. I am just a sliver away from innate awakening, and some arduous training should help me breakthrough."
(TN: All these was mentioned in ch 63 of volume 5 (Starship Trooper world). )
"No worries." Reef very forthrightly assured."I'll get someone to arrange it right away. At most, everything should be prepared by tomorrow. Boss, you can pack up your luggage, but which place do you wish to visit first?"
Sheyan pondered and replied.
"From the information i read previously, though the Tibetan monastery can temper my physique, it also focuses on spirit cultivation. Instead, my body only lacks bitter and harsh tempering. I'll head over to the closest Thailand first. If it doesn't work, then I'll head over to Siberia.
After ending the call, Sheyan directly headed home and fell into deep slumber. When Uncle Dasi and Sanzi voiced their concern, he frankly told them he was having a flu. Such a flu was fairly common and they didn't suspect anything wrong about him; continuing on their own busy endeavours.

Meanwhile,
Europe.
Capital of England, London.
This enormous aged old long-established metropolis, was currently enshrouded with thick mist; visibility was limited to only a 5 metre radius.
The mellifluous ringing of the Big Ben resounded. This clock tower that withstood centuries, continued to issue 13 clear and sweet-sounding reverberating rings into the distant.
3 miles away from the Big Ben, stood an unequalled and grand twin tower. This twin tower had an altitude that exceeded a thousand metres, confining Dubai's Burj Khalifa to world number second. The number of floors exceeded 200, and the building hosted 80 elevator sectors. The elevator's velocity could reach as high as 20. 6 metres per second, and was currently the longest and fastest elevator on earth! Thus, its lavish interior was needless to say.
This block of twin towers was the headquarters of the world number one's international financial group, E. S. It immediately became the world's center of attention after construction was done. Furthermore, the amount of workers inside had reached nearly 30, 000!
Presently, inside the 109th floor of this tower, was shockingly a massive training ground. It appeared the same category as those taekwondo training grounds, with its ground covered with the highest grade birch flooring. It was possible to see one's reflection from it.
10 robust and strong males had formed an encirclement, holding a 85 cm rubber police truncheon laced with steel wires in their hands; cautiously observing an icy cold woman they had encircled.
Although those 10 males weren't wearing military attire, their waist and back were uprightly straight. Some had scars on their bodies and faces, and were evidently soldiers who had experienced actual wars. However, their cautious countenance seemingly revealed that they weren't the ones encircling; on the contrary, it was as though they were the ones being surrounded!
