Bernard couldn't help but remember what Mr. Meow Meow said about the VR function in the system, judging from what the cat had said it was likely it was going to be creating even more videos for him just like this one, this thought process wasn't baseless considering ever since he got the system the cat had been in slumber and when he saw the cat again was through a video so he was sure the cat would likely create even more videos for him in the future.
Although he would have loved to see the cat, but then that would be difficult since he had no way to communicate with it except he could also create videos like the cat did so that when it woke up it would be able to watch it.
But he had no idea how to create it even though the system was his own he didn't really have any means to control how it works or function, he was simply following what was already created and programmed by the cat, however, if he could get the chance to communicate with the cat then he would ask it to teach to him how to create such VR videos.
However, he felt there were prerequisite he needed to fulfill before, he would be able to have total control over the system, or even meet the cat, which one of them was likely because his stats were not high enough or if his current level was too low, nevertheless, he wasn't in a hurry instead he would simply take his time to explore all these gradually.
Besides that he had also learned another thing, it was about his stats Energy points the game had taught him how important energy points were and how he had been underestimating them all this while, after playing the game he came to realize energy points had more uses than he was always thinking, although he had always known energy point was important but in the game it made him understand it was even more important than he had thought since it was literally functioning as his health inside the game.
However, that wasn't all since had also realized Stamina seemed to be just important as Energy points, inside Rebirth if Energy points were like his main health points then Stamina would then be his Energy points, it was one of the attributes he couldn't do without inside the game not just that they also couldn't be recovered each time he uses them means one less.
Even if he still had more energy points inside the game, the moment his Stamina points were reduced to zero then he would be done for, but if he could manage to make them work as one like in the main world and not let one finish before the other then he would be able to last much longer inside the game.
It was just like how Dash was if he used it inside the game more than four times then his energy and stamina points would be reduced to zero, this made him wonder what would happen if he was out in the sun, although he would still be able to use some of his ability and skills but then they would literally become a burden inside the sun, while some of them he wouldn't be able use to them at all.
Although he was confident in his strength even more so after leveling up once more, however, he knew best than anyone what would happen the moment he enters the sun and triggers the sun penalty, no matter how confident he was, at that point all, he would still face having all his strength reduced by half and not even leveling up again would be able to help him get out of it, perhaps in the future he would be able to do something about it but at the moment he was just as helpless as before.
This had always been bothering him ever since he got the system and no matter how hard he thought about it he had not been able to think of a solution, perhaps he wasn't as helpless as he thought, judging from how his stats hadn't been reduced by half or hadn't triggered any sun penalty so far, meant he hadn't done anything for his stats to be reduced by half, from this Bernard thought there were two possibilities why this was possible.
One might be because of he had stolen four symbiote bloodlines, the second one which he was quite sure about was so far for a while now he hadn't been under the sun for any reason.
The second possibility had happened on several occasions and had taught him how important he needed something to cover himself from the sun, although by staying within the academy halls he had been able to avoid triggering the sun penalty so far, but he knew he couldn't do this forever considering he would one day graduate from the academy and once that happens he would once again be on his own, depending on the planet he finds himself in then he would either be done for by having over half his stats reduced or be able to walk outside like a normal person, which of course he wasn't.
With that in mind, Bernard decided to test something, and instead of going back to his dorm to meet up with his friends, he thought he should do something else with this free time on his sleeve, at this moment there was one thing he needed to learn and understand about himself more than anything else not even becoming stronger was more important than it.
Because even if he had all the strength in the world yet he couldn't walk inside the sun then it would be as good as useless, especially if his life was in danger in the future, this was why he needed to come up with something.
Since it was a sunday today Bernard decided to use the entire day for himself, after all, usual military lessons wouldn't start until the next day. It was a sunny day today, and judging from how bright the sun was it wouldn't be out anytime soon Bernard thought as he looked outside.
Even though he wasn't anywhere near the sun he could still feel some slight itchiness that as long as he walks towards the sun he would immediately trigger a sun penalty, however, if he wanted to understand his body better and how it reacted to the sun then he needed to walk toward the sun but then the thought of having to be under the sun made him feel jittery.
Bernard took in a deep breath and manned up, even though he didn't want to enter the sun he literary had no choice considering, he couldn't ignore the sun penalty he triggers forever, so it was either now or never he thought before he began to walk towards the sun, and just like he had thought the moment he took a step outside Bernard immediately broke out in cold sweat, even his eyes wasn't spared because in next moment his eyes felt a bit blur and if not for the fact he was trying to look normal his entire military uniform would have been draped in sweat.
[Sun Penalty has been triggered!]
[All your stats will now be reduced by halve]
