At the end of the story, the innkeeper Leslie unsurprisingly escapes again (otherwise he wouldn't be standing here) and continues the adventure below. And this old man who likes to tell stories also revealed the content of the next story in advance, which is still part of that long trip at sea.

The key words in the next story are: the monster of the deep, the tentacles, the second shipwreck, the stranger, and the island.

As the guests dispersed, a satisfied Barrett turned upstairs and returned to his room. After closing the door, he habitually looked through the window to the house opposite. At this time, the curtain on the opposite side was still closed, and it seemed that the wheat-skinned hostess had not yet woken up.

Barrett glanced at the sky. The sun was in the west, about two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and it looked like someone slept a little late last night. Although he slept for nearly two days, there was a reason for that. Under normal circumstances, even ordinary adventurers who like to stay in bed should have already gotten up at this time.

He moved his neck and withdrew his gaze from the window. The stiffness and exhaustion of the body did not completely disappear after a long period of rest and well-fed, and the legs were inexplicably heavy as a rock, making every movement of Barrett a little difficult.

Although his unstable undead form was the same as that of ordinary undead creatures, and there was no need to rest at all, the exhaustion still seemed to remain, and little by little it was gathering in his body, and when he returned to the living, it was released at once.

Fortunately, this problem does not seem to be serious, and a certain amount of rest and relaxation should solve it.

Barrett moved briefly in the limited space, and then threw himself heavily on the bed. He put his hands behind his head and summoned the [Mission Log], ready to start taking stock of the gains in soul energy for this mission.

The number representing soul energy in the lower right corner of the [Mission Log] shows "1626" at this time, and it seems that this journey is undoubtedly quite rewarding. Such a large amount of soul energy made Barrett slightly distracted, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that this was normal, after all, just killing that zombie dragon directly gained more than four hundred points.

And of the two tasks he completed, each of them seemed to provide him with one hundred or seventy or eighty soul energy. Because Barrit, who had returned to his human form at the time, was really confused by the exhaustion of the madness, he couldn't remember the exact number.

In addition, nearly twenty rare undead creatures, including the mission objective and the Garden of Bones, each of them also provided him with a range of 10 to 60 soul energy. Coupled with the large group of zombies, skeletons, ghouls, blood and bone golems and other undead creatures encountered along the way, Barrett estimated that the soul energy brought by killing alone (excluding zombie dragons) was likely to be as much as seven or eight hundred points.

This fully shows that fighting monsters is actually faster than doing task upgrades, and if you fight monsters while doing tasks, the speed is unimaginable.

How do you distribute this soul energy?Barrett decided to give the 'Mission Log' a junior level first, which was what he had planned before. According to the little mage Krees, this inexplicable thing in his body seems to have exerted a lot of strength when he was upgraded last time, which is why it is a little embarrassed now.

Barrett scrutinized the translucent 'mission log' in front of him. The dark and deep obsidian borders around him were now a little dark, and the surface of the quaint and elegant parchment in the middle had some tiny cracks.

I don't know if this thing is really like this, or if it's deliberately shown like this, but it does look a little dilapidated anyway.

Since it's a "symbiosis", then I obviously have to provide it with some benefits, anyway, if you want to choose the transformation skill of the 'Everything Corruptor' in the future, you also need to upgrade this thing as a precursor.

As soon as he decided, Barrett stared at the yellow stripe of [0/1000] under the 'mission log' and slowly filled it in. When the yellow stripes filled to [653/1000], Barrett felt his head slightly dizzy, he knew that this was a sign that his mental power was beginning to dry up, and it seemed that his mental state had not fully recovered.

After a brief rest, he continued with the unfinished business at hand.

When the entire yellow streak was filled, the entire 'mission log' suddenly disappeared before Barrett's eyes, leaving him a little confused. It took more than a dozen heartbeats before the thing manifested again.

The appearance of the new 'Quest Log' is similar to the original, except that there is an additional vertical partition on the left side where the task directory was originally displayed, divided into two categories: [Quests] and [Achievements].

【Log 2.0】

[Absorption, evolution, and transformation are the continuous progress of living beings. The way forward, even if the system doesn't want to be obsolete, needs to be constantly updated. 】

As soon as Barrett finished reading this sentence, the 'mission log' suddenly blurred again. When the original parchment was clear again, the contents of it changed to the following:

['I want to be stronger, because I have encountered many encounters, and I have things I want to protect', 'Love me, hmph, let's talk about it when you get stronger', 'Those who can't kill me will eventually make me stronger', 'I'm bald, and I've become stronger'......]

What is this? Barrett was confused, and had no idea what this inexplicable thing was trying to say. Just as he hesitated to turn it off and call it back up, the 'mission log' disappeared before his eyes again, and it was a long time before Barrett waited a little impatiently before it reappeared.

[Sorry, powerful and generous elite adventurers, due to a little unforeseen accident in the upgrade of this system, there are some problems with the display, please forgive me for the inconvenience.] 】

[This system has successfully carried out a comprehensive upgrade, and it can better serve you. Please be aware that your personal level can now be increased to a maximum of "15", and the number of tasks you can undertake at the same time has been increased to "10".

In addition, the incomplete 'achievement system' is officially launched. Some of the activities you do in this multiverse that can lead to some unexpected benefit if you successfully activate an achievement in the system, or whatever......

Due to the version of the system, the categories and directories in the achievements are not displayed for the time being, and will only be displayed in the system if your actions meet the specific conditions of certain achievements and they are successfully activated. 】

Barrett looked at the newly added achievement category, which currently only showed a 'Bloody Body' achievement in gold-trimmed lettering. As he gazed at the letters, a detailed introduction was revealed on the parchment.
