Astral Apostle

Chapter 24: Placement And Determination (1)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

His consciousness jolted as he returned to the starry space.

“I’m back?”

Zhou Jing looked down and confirmed that he was not in the avatar of Will Wood but in his original appearance.

Phew, I’m finally back. Being poisoned and unconscious is really unpleasant…?Zhou Jing grinned.

When using the Astral Apostle, the consciousness could not detach itself from the carrier’s senses. It was 100% realistic, and the pain he felt was real.

A huge glowing interface panel floated in front of him. The information he had received earlier was displayed on it.

“The actual duration of stay was six days… so after I was poisoned, I was almost unconscious for two days. Griff took me, a wounded man, for so long in the forest…”

Zhou Jing fell silent.

The forest was fraught with danger, and the threat of the Subterraneans had yet to disappear. He was not the true companion of the hunters, and they could easily abandon him as a burden… but it seemed that their so-called kindness was not just empty talk.

He had gone on an adventure for a short period of time and tried a different kind of life. His memories and experiences were extremely profound.

Zhou Jing suppressed his emotions and read the next message.

The interface showed that he had collected a total of 163 Astral Points in this duration, accumulating a total of 1468 Astral Points.

Many of the actions of the Astral Apostles, such as fighting, cultivation, survival, and even eating, could gather the energy of the astral world and transform it into Astral Points.

However, these were different from the immediate benefits of triggering an achievement. The astral points collected from daily activities would only be calculated every time the apostle was released and the consciousness returned. The results would be brought back in one go.

Zhou Jing opened the statistical details of this project. It listed which behavior had collected the Astral Points in this experience. It looked very trivial.

From killing mutant beasts to eating something every day, the Astral Points were included in everything. Even sleeping alone had benefits, albeit extremely low.

“So as long as the Astral Apostles are alive and breathing, they can continue to collect Astral Points…”

Zhou Jing scratched his head.

Most of the profits this time were from killing the white spider beast, and the rest were summed up from all kinds of miscellaneous items.

At the bottom of the list, however, two pieces of information caught his attention.

[Synchronization Rate Bonus: 0%]

[Legendary Point Bonus: 0%]

The synchronization rate and Legendary Points could increase the number of Astral Points obtained through daily activities. It was equivalent to increasing the efficiency of the apostles collecting Astral Points.

The synchronization rate of Will Wood had been raised to 32% before he returned, but there was no bonus added. He estimated that the synchronization rate needed to reach a certain standard before there could be a bonus factor included.

The Legendary Point section seemed to be related to the influence of the Astral Apostle. One had to leave behind some achievements that would attract the attention of many people. Based on Zhou Jing’s analysis… This Legendary Point might be equivalent to a person’s reputation in that realm.

After closing the statistical details, Zhou Jing looked at the next page. It said, “Experience log has been recorded. The results of the exploration have been recorded in the illustrated handbook.”

“What does this mean…”

With a thought, the interface flashed, and an extension of the interface appeared on both sides.

On the left interface was shown:

______________________________________________________

[Astral Apostle List]

[Number 001: Will Wood (Alive) — Check detailed attributes and experiences log.]

[Number 002: None]

And on the right interface:

Zhou Jing’s interest was piqued. He studied them carefully and roughly understood what they were.

The Astral Apostle List recorded all Astral Apostles that were born, regardless of whether they were still living or dead.

If one selected a name within the name list, they would be able to check the profile of this apostle in its Astral Realm. One could also check the experiences of this apostle.

The experience log took the form of a recording. It contained all the knowledge of this astral apostle inside as a video series.

Zhou Jing tried to watch a few paragraphs. They were all images from the carrier’s first-person perspective. They were all things he had experienced not long ago. If he forgot the details, he could directly check the related images without confusing his understanding.

[Records Illustration] categorized all the abilities he had used in the Astral Apostle Mode. It could be directly checked. Currently, only Will Wood’s abilities were displayed.

The illustration also served as a character material storehouse. When creating a new Astral Apostle, inheriting the abilities of other Astral Apostles was possible through a template of the new carriers. However, different abilities consumed a different number of Astral Points.

So, the more astral apostles we use, the richer the names and illustrations… But, it seems like I can only create a new astral apostle after the previous astral apostle has cleared the round or died.

Zhou Jing made a mental note to himself before closing the expanded list to continue reading.

The cooldown time for the next drop was 12 hours… This was understandable. His main body had to spend at least 12 hours before sending its consciousness back into the Astral Apostle.

It didn’t seem like this was a forced mission. When the time came, Zhou Jing could shuttle back and forth if he wanted to. If he didn’t want to, he could choose to wait it out. They were free to choose.

Zhou Jing looked at the last row of words.

[Please select a fixed operation of placement for the Astral Apostle.]

The reason the interface stopped at this settlement interface was that there was no follow-up operation.

The moment he chose to continue, the settlement interface disappeared and was replaced by a new page.

[Target: Will·Wood]

[Highest synchronization rate: 32% (Stage 2)]
