Chapter 34: Approaching 777 Intents
A week later.
The small mansion at Lotus Lake.
"That makes Intent number 689," Jin declared as he opened his eyes, leaving the Virtual World. "At this rate, it won’t be long before I reach my goal of 777 Intents."
There was no particular reason he wished to reach 777 Intents before attempting a breakthrough to the 2nd Rank. He just felt that it was right.
Theoretically, there were countless millions of different Intents in the Universe, encompassing nearly every basic aspect of life. However, let alone a million Intents, even 100 was overkill.
Additional Intents became less effective the more of them you possessed. Comprehending more would always benefit you one way or another, but seeing as most Intents contained some qualities of other Intents, after a certain point, the benefits of more Intents essentially reached zero.
It would be different if Jin were missing a unique Intent, such as Special Intents, but since he comprehended the most important ones, he didn’t necessarily require any more.
He actually reached this point around the 100 to 200 Intent range, but just for the sake of satisfying his OCD, he aimed to hit that clean 777 milestone.
"Any day now and I’ll achieve my goal, with every single one of them at least at Stage 4."
Although Jin focused on gathering more Intents through battle in the Virtual World, he also put an emphasis on the development of each of the obtained Intents. He brought the majority of his Combat, Auxiliary, and Miscellaneous Intents to Stage 5, the Perfection Stage.
The Special Intents, on the other hand, were far harder to progress in. Only one or two had reached Stage 5, while the rest lingered around Stage 4.
But even with that being the case, Jin’s combat power right now was out of this world.
