Chapter 44: Equip.
While fiddling with his System before, Mark found something that confused him a bit.
Both his HP and MP were a 100/100, and when he checked Lara’s stats, he saw it was the same for her despite having increased her level to 09. As it turned out, the number had been a percentage all along.
"By the way," the new revelation brought forth more questions. "Since both HP and MP are percentages, how are they calculated exactly?"
Ramsay thought for a moment then answered.
"For HP it’s Endurance and Strength. For MP it’s Focus and Mind."
Mark frowned, not finding the answer satisfactory.
"How about you explain the calculation part, Sergeant Rider?"
"And how do you expect me to do that? Do you think I’m some kind of math nerd, Private White?" Ramsay retorted. "Listen, all you need to know is that the more strength and endurance you have, the slower your HP decreases. The same goes for Focus and MP. As for Mind, it determines how long it takes for your MP to recharge."
By now, Mark was starting to realize that the Peace Keeper didn’t know the answer to his question. That wasn’t that surprising, though. After all, very few bothered to learn about the hidden calculations that determine the stats of their character in a game.
’I should’ve asked Rebbeca about it...’
"How long are you going to stand there for?" Ramsay asked, taking him out of his own thoughts. "Get moving, Private! We still have another 36 Rifts to close!"
