Chapter-12: the losses of leveling up
Yes it looks like a group discussion in his mind and it would give him head ache if they all four thought at the same time. Visva that knows their traits used their personalities separately based on the situation for planning one by one before.
While thinking he got a big question in his mind. "If Robert can really listen to my inner voice and the inner voices of other then how did he let me fall into the hands of other heroine that can extract the artifacts?"
This is the question in his mind and there is no answer to this question at this moment. Visva sat on the side to carefully remember his past lives. As Sherlock Holmes he lived a good life solving cases.
After solving the case related to James Moriarty that is faking his death and jumping into the water fall with him, he lived in seclusion while traveling solving various cases around the area. Finally died without anyone knowing, it is a lonely death.
As Shikamaru he lived quite long serving as the advisor for the son of Naruto and his later generation as well. He died surrounded by many people like his relatives and friends. It is a fruitful life with many bumps.
As Tokuchi, he lived the life of a gambler through and through challenging things he won the one outs contract and lived a good life. But the habit of smoking and other things caused severe damage to the body reducing the life span.
So even with great success the life is quite short and died quite early. After his death he came to this world to become Visva. He really doesn't know why he is so stupid with being intelligent in the past 3 lives.
Well being stupid might not be the right word here. He is not stupid but got suppressed by the strong protagonist aura of this mixed novel world. Still he made the right bet in investing in something like a painful second chance.
Even though he only knows part of the future he can deduce all the things from the knowledge off various novels he read. With his IQ online he will not be in bad situations. In a way with his past life memories and personalities he is more like a perfect villain.
The most intelligent villain that is hard to kill or catch. He is not a cannon fodder but a predator. Not even the world can stop him with his plans and ideas. After encouraging himself remembering his past lives he started to move again. The rest time is over.
He went straight to the room he started and took out a metal rod that is hollow inside. He started to beat on the walls of the cave carefully listening to the sound. He heard from adventurers in the later stages that many adventurers found special things in the first floor.
It is just like how he and Robert got the hidden things. They also discovered it by accident. He started to beat the cave walls and check the walls carefully to see if there is anything hidden. After searching for a long while he found a hidden compartment.
It is as big as 1 cubic foot and it is inside the dungeon wall. He dug the things inside out and found a simple sack in it. Opening it he found a bunch of coins counting them he got 810 dungeon coins. Adding the coins he has that is 110 it is 920 dungeon coins.
Other than that he found a flashing orb and he knows what it is. It is called an experience orb that can be used to gain experience points to improve his level. He checked it and found that it is an orb that can give him 1000 experience points.
He did not hesitate and added it to his experience points. Unlike in those RPG games the level here increases based on the wish of the adventurer. The experience would accumulate for both skills and levels. He has to personally upgrade them.
The condition is that he should not be in combat state. He can upgrade them in any other situation. The reason for this convenience is that leveling up the main level or the skill level would give some unexpected benefits sometimes.
There are also some restrictions on level in some places. So it is best to have the same level as that of the floor level to make the best of the situation instead of rapidly leveling up. Secret information that Visva knows is it affects the 100 times booster for skills and stats.
As the level improves the booster multiplier decreases. That is for level 10 there is only 90 times booster effect. For level 60 there is only 40 times the booster effect in all things. So Visva did not rush to increase the level.
He continued to search the walls wanting to find something again. But he did not get anything instead he felt exhausted. He stopped form time to time to mark everything on the note book making it into a record and also mapping the area.
Some skills can be improved and gives extra benefits. Mapping skill can be obtained using a skill scroll or repeatedly making the map of the dungeon floors in a paper or other areas. It was known from an adventurer that brought a note pad and pen with him when he entered.
He has the habit of recording and thought that the dungeon is a labyrinth. So he managed to obtain this skill. This let Visva apply the same idea here to get the benefits out of it. Since it did not occupy too much time he did it.
Mapping skill when improved actually improves sense stats and in the dungeon cultivation world they might get extra skill related to mapping that has higher chance of finding hidden things.
Also it can let a person get some talent in formation making and breaking. That person can be the best tomb raider in the dungeon cultivation world or he can also become a thief or someone great.
