15 - Chapter 14 - Day 1753

  Adya came to when her head slipped below the waterline in the tub. The smell was bad enough to wake her even before the issue of breathing became an issue.

  She scurried out of the bath tub, then used a washcloth and the jars of water to clean herself top to toe. As she had anticipated, her body had expelled impurities during her moving up to becoming a cultivator. Even though the tub had helped immensely, there were a lot less impurities expelled than she had anticipated. Something else she would have to look into.

  Adya would need a few hours for her new cultivation base to stabilise. She dressed in a simple slip, then went to her door and asked Sally to come in.

  She asked Sally to have the tub removed, with the instruction that it would probably have to be destroyed. She further instructed Sally to organise another tub, and this time to draw her a hot bath. Even though she wasn't feeling grimey, she still wanted a good bath and a good scrub to get herself back to feeling properly human.

  It would take a while for her instructions to be carried out, so Adya decided to go over her notifications in the meantime. There were certainly a lot of notifications to go through.

  New achievement gained

  Warning achievement modified by Scion Protocol

  Achievement: Cultivation Prodigy - for unlocking cultivation and forming three cores on your first attempt and at below the age of 10, unique skill Core Shield granted.

  Core Shield (Unique): Level MAX - Cultivation cores shielded from all scans below the divine grade. Potential to upgrade to Core Filter (Unique).

  Protection protocol deactivated

  Warning - Scion Protocols are now in effect

  Adya certainly had a lot to go through. The cores had replaced her resource pools, that only made sense. The density of all her resources had gone up a grade, while great in itself would mean even more scrutiny on her when it came time to sell mana stones.

  Her skills, meditation and energy manipulation had also ranked up, no surprises there. By pushing past the artificial limits set by the ever mysterious scion protocols, she guessed the system had now marked her as an adult, therefore it had removed her protections.

  The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.

  She had also gained a new achievement, but again the normal rewards had been replaced by the unique skill Core Shield. Adya couldn't really complain, as without knowing the original reward, it was impossible to judge whether it was an upgrade or a downgrade.

  The warning was the biggest concern, the scion protocols had been protecting her, from what the system only knew, and now at least part of the protection was no longer in effect. Still there was nothing she could really do about it yet. She could only hope she would chance upon opportunities to learn more about the system and how it related to her. Adya decided to check out her full status sheet to see how it had changed.

  Her status was just ridiculous now, her stats probably made her untouchable by even most cultivators. That just made her more anxious, just from what did the system think that she needed to be protected.

  By this point her hot bath was ready, so she stepped into the bath and let Sally scrub her clean while she was lost in thought. She had taken the step to reduce her known risk profile and ended up increasing her unknown risk profile. The law of unintended consequences was in full effect. Still, it was done now, she would have to deal with what came next.

  While she bathed, she decided to see what Sai had come up with after the extensive analysis.

  Adya: Sai what is the result of our analysis into formations.

  Sai: Analysis is complete. There were over 200 formations scanned from this world, they were used as a starting point. The language skill gave us access to convert symbols to words and a starting definition. Adding to that knowledge of formations, arrays and runes from our previous memories created a core alphabet for formations that should work in this world. The alphabet was further enhanced using our understanding of both programming languages and hardware design principles to create a unique formation language. This should allow us to model formations and their effects to a high degree of accuracy. It should also make it easy for us to assimilate new knowledge obtained straight into the framework.

  Adya: We should come up with a name for this new language to make it easier to refer to.

  Sai: I will add it to our list of tasks.

  By this point Adya was scrubbed clean. She stepped out of the bath, dried herself and dressed.

  It was time for lunch with her mother.
