Li Yao looked at the small, adorable Ragdoll cat in front of her and asked, "[6834, you only upgraded your virtual avatar at level 5?]"
The Ragdoll cat spoke up: "[Host, the level 5 system upgrade skill is Spatial Shielding: After using Spatial Shielding, everyone and everything within a 50-meter radius of your location will be invisible to you. Do you want to upgrade to level 6? Level 6 unlocks a Spatial Domain, which allows absolute control over everyone and everything within that domain.]"
This was the first time Li Yao had seen the system ask her if she wanted to level up, so she asked, "How many skill points are needed for level 6?"
The ragdoll cat in front of me licked its paws and said, "[100 million skill points]"
Seeing the system's eagerness, Li Yao asked, "And what about you? What are your benefits?"
The Ragdoll cat jumped up and snuggled against Li Yao's shoulder, saying, "The level 6 system can materialize, so I can eat. Of course, buying a body requires 50 million skill points. It'll be a cat with flesh and blood, just like a real cat, able to eat and digest."
Seeing 6834's obsequious manner, Li Yao waved her hand and said, "Buy it, we have the money."
Then, a line of text popped up on the system panel in front of Li Yao: [Does the host wish to spend 100 million skill points to upgrade the system?]
Li Yao clicked "Yes".
At the same time, the panel displayed: "[Host, do you wish to spend 50 million skill points to purchase a system entity - a young male Ragdoll cat?]"
Li Yao readily clicked "Yes".
The screen displays: "[System upgrade in progress, upgrade time 5 minutes, remaining skill points: 159 million]"
While waiting for the system to upgrade, Li Yao thought to herself, "I'm currently level 6, four levels short. I need to decide whether to harvest zombies now to earn points and then travel through time, or to just laze around, live for a few decades, harvest zombies and collect some items to upgrade before traveling through time." But she had no idea what to do. She'd only been idle for a few months, and there were still so many sights to see. She'd just have to take it one step at a time.
Lost in thought, Li Yao heard a "ding" sound, indicating that the system upgrade was complete, and the introduction to the spatial domain skill appeared in her mind.
[Spatial Domain: Absolute control can be achieved over anything within 50 meters of the host's location (upgradeable, each additional 100 meters costs 1 million skill points)]
Li Yao checked her balance and thought the skill was quite useful, so she spent 100 million to upgrade her meter. Now, Li Yao's [Spatial Domain] range is meters, allowing her to have absolute control over all directions within a meter radius, centered on herself.
As her skills expanded, Li Yao felt a warm current flow from her brain to her entire body. Her five senses became more acute; even the finest dust particles in the air were visible. She stared intently at the floating dust particles drifting in the air, and a thought struck her. She blurted out, "Stop!" In an instant, the drifting dust particles froze in mid-air.
She continued, "Move."
The dust continued to drift with the air.
Li Yao came to the fireplace, focused her attention on the flickering flames, and said, "Freeze." All the flames in the fireplace froze.
She glanced at the water glass on the living room table, and with a thought, the glass slowly flew into Li Yao's hand. She opened her mouth, and the water in the glass gathered into a stream that flowed into Li Yao's mouth.
Li Yao felt an unprecedented sense of control. In this space, as long as she wanted, the ants under her feet, the birds in the air, the snakes hibernating in the snow, and the tigers feeding in the cave could die at any time. Everything moved with her and was under her control. This feeling was too wonderful.
