My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse - Chapter 240

Chapter 240: Chapter 240 Everyone Getting Stronger
After Kisha shared her experience with the Scarlet Honey she had just distributed, she took the time to carefully guide them through the process of harnessing its essence. She provided detailed instructions to help them channel the Scarlet Honey’s essence into their core, with a particular focus on those who had already awakened.

Kisha divided the group into those who had already awakened and those who had not. For those who had awakened, she demonstrated her technique for channeling the Scarlet Honey’s essence into their core. For those who haven’t awakened yet, she altered the approach a little. Instead of focusing solely on directing the energy to their core’s reservoir, she guided them to distribute it throughout their bodies, similar to clearing their bloodstream. This method aimed to strengthen their bodies and reduce the likelihood of failure in their awakening.

After ensuring that everyone understood her instructions, Kisha allowed them to practice independently while she observed from the sidelines. It was then that she noticed the varying time intervals required for individuals to take in the Scarlet Honey. Not everyone was able to absorb all the essence from the honey.

For Vulture, his stats would increase by 2 randomly each time he consumes the Scarlet Honey and regulates his energy. Sparrow experiences a random increase of 3 stats every time. Even Mrs. Winters, despite her best efforts, manages to boost her stats randomly by 2-3 each time she consumes the Scarlet Honey.

But Duke? There was nothing surprising about him. He was the first to reach the x10 limit for the experience multiplier, but unfortunately, he didn’t have a system that could grant him extra stat points, unlike Kisha, who could gain additional points through titles and other achievements. As a result, his stat limit was capped at 50, and beyond that, it no longer increased, which made Kisha smile smugly.

For the first time, she could look at Duke’s status window with satisfaction rather than offense. She finally felt more powerful than Duke. In her past life, Duke always bested her at everything and was smug about it, constantly rubbing salt into her wounds. Now, however, she could relish this moment while he was left to seethe with envy.

The gap between them would only grow as she continued to level up, earn more titles, and complete missions with stat-boosting rewards. Just thinking about it made her more excited and eager for missions than she ever was in her previous life. She was determined to wipe the floor with Duke one day. It might sound petty, but Duke had always rubbed his success in her face in their past lives. That’s why she initially doubted 008 when it suggested that Duke had a thing for her; she thought he only saw her as a rival and a close confidant.

Lost in thought, Kisha opened Duke’s status window and studied it for a while longer, as he sat on the ground, deep in contemplation.

[Duke Winters]

Level 0 (Exp: 0/100 X 10.0)

Strength: 50 (+20)

Stamina: 50 (+20)

Defense: 50 (+20)

Agility: 50 (+25)

Mental Capacity: 50 (+15)

Charm: 50 (+10)

Leadership: 50 (+5)

But now that she thought about it, maybe Duke’s constant provocations and taunts were his way of keeping her attention away from her traitorous lover. By emotionally engaging her, he ensured she stayed close to him. She realized that she was indeed with Duke about 80% of the time, even when he was being discreet. There were moments when they were almost inseparable, which often led her lover to question what was going on between them. She wondered if he didn’t trust her or if he simply missed her.

But now, she saw things from a different perspective and had a deeper understanding of what 008 had said. Whether it was the Duke of her past or the Duke in front of her, they were essentially the same person. They shared the same core feelings, though their different experiences in life had shaped their actions and behavior around her differently. Ultimately, the emotions remained unchanged.

Kisha’s eyes crinkled slightly as she continued to monitor everyone through their status windows, allowing Duke to remain absorbed in his thoughts. As she observed the non-awakened individuals, she noted that their stat increases were limited to just 1. She speculated that this might be because they lacked an energy core to store the energy generated from the Scarlet Honey’s essence.

It might also be related to their potential; their absorption capabilities aren’t great at the moment. Kisha could only reassess once they awaken to see if there are any changes. If there are improvements, it would likely be due to their lack of a reservoir to store the energy. If not, then it would be a matter of their own potential and talent.

Not long after, the Patriarch and Mr. Winters returned, struggling to drag a large net filled with a variety of big fish. Kisha stored the fish from the lake, briefed them on the recent events, and then integrated them into the training session. She kept a close eye on their progress as they trained alongside everyone else.

After many hours of training, most of the people had reached their capacity limits. What was surprising was the variation in their caps; each person had a different limit. Duke had the highest cap, while Tristan had a limit of 40 stat points and Aston was just a few points lower. Sparrow, and Vulture had already reached 60 and were still not reaching their limits, it was maybe because they had leveled up to level 1 and their cap has increased too. Bald Eagle, Mr. Winters, and the Patriarch were close behind at 35. Mrs. Winters had a cap of 30, and the rest were around that range, with the lowest being 25. Only one or two individuals had such a low cap.

She believed that those with lower cap limits had less chance of awakening. However, thanks to the Scarlet Honey, they could still become stronger, though they wouldn’t surpass their current limits without awakening. Kisha didn’t have a solution for this issue but was grateful that the Scarlet Honey had helped them reach their thresholds and improved their chances of survival outside.
