Regarding command spells, Lynch did consider acquiring them, as they are essential for participating in the Fourth Holy Grail War.
However, Lynch’s original plan was to seize the command spells from Uryu Ryuunosuke—a disposable, yet utterly detestable, piece of non-recyclable garbage that the Holy Grail had pulled in to make up the numbers—once the Fourth Holy Grail War officially began.
Lynch detests people who wantonly harm children the most; although he is a Fun Seeker (One who seeks amusement) and a Masked Fool, he also has his own preferences for amusement, and the genuine smiles of children are among the greatest joys in Lynch’s eyes.
Uryu Ryuunosuke, who destroys all this and takes pleasure in it, creating ‘art,’ is naturally non-recyclable garbage in Lynch’s eyes.
Therefore, dealing with the non-recyclable garbage while simultaneously obtaining a command spell to join the Holy Grail War as a master was his initial choice.
However, now the plan couldn’t keep up with the changes; the command spells were acquired ahead of schedule, which was completely unexpected.
Lynch wasn’t surprised that the command spells appeared a year before the Holy Grail War.
In fact, the Three Families of the Holy Grail War and some other individuals had already obtained command spells; it was just that because the Holy Grail War hadn’t started yet, the Holy Grail hadn’t activated its magical energy supply, thus preventing the summoning of Heroic Spirits.
It’s just that Lynch himself temporarily had no connection to the Holy Grail War and hadn’t developed a desire for the Holy Grail’s wish-granting function, so why would he suddenly receive command spells?
Lynch was very curious about this.
Furthermore, Lynch is not someone who likes to ponder aimlessly; with an on-site consultation tool available, he decisively used it.
Therefore, Lynch immediately asked the system about the origin of the command spells.
The amusement system is a very free system with no special restrictions; whenever Lynch asks a question, it generally provides an answer.
This time was no exception; the command spells were not within the amusement system’s restrictions, and it immediately provided an explanation to Lynch.
It turns out these were the Matou Family’s predetermined command spells, part of the authority of the Three Families of the Holy Grail War, originally held by Matou Zouken.
However, because the Old Worm’s body had been eliminated by Lynch, the command spells automatically became ownerless.
Since the other members of the Matou Family had no magical energy and were not Magi, the command spells, according to the rules, automatically transferred to Lynch, the one who eliminated the previous holder of the command spells.
Because Lynch was previously in his ‘Iron Man Tokiomi’ state, the character card’s form automatically repelled such external contracts.
Therefore, it wasn’t until Lynch returned to normal that the command spells successfully came into his possession.
Moreover, if Lynch’s transformation had lasted a bit longer, the Holy Grail, unable to issue the command spells, would have transferred them to another fated individual.
After learning the situation, Lynch couldn’t help but rub his chin, pondering what these early-acquired command spells could bring him, mainly what kind of fun they could create.
After some thought, Lynch temporarily put that aside and began to tally his gains from the night.
The system’s inventory was overflowing with various items, even including gold-inlaid wall plaster.
The main goal was to take as many valuable items from the Matou Family as possible.
Although the items were diverse, it was undoubtedly a huge haul, with no shortage of ancient antiques.
If handled properly, they could certainly sell for a lot of money.
Aozaki Touko has her own channels for this, so he would just hand everything over to the Painful Red to deal with.
Compared to these ‘yellow and white things,’ Lynch was more interested in the fun points he gained.
Taking a look, his current fun points were surprisingly as high as 4140, an increase of 1694 compared to the 2446 he had before tonight’s operation.
This was another huge profit, although not as much as the time he went to Kotomine Church, it was comparable to what he earned from the Tohsaka Family.
With so many fun points, Lynch could go on another spending spree.
Immediately, Lynch unhesitatingly began to upgrade himself, as he had planned from the beginning.
From level 5 to level 6 cost 300 fun points, and from level 9 to level 10 cost 700 fun points.
Lynch spent a total of 2500 fun points to complete the leap from level 5 to level 10.
[Player: Lynch]
[Level: 5 → 10]
[Strength: 11 → 20]
[Agility: 10 → 19]
[Endurance: 12 → 22]
[Spirit: 11 → 18]
Instantly, Lynch felt an explosive improvement in his own condition, and the contours of his muscles visibly increased.
If he took off his clothes and stood in front of a mirror, he would see clear, beautifully sculpted muscles.
Lynch’s physique had now improved further in terms of modeling; he was not much different from human sculptures specially artistically carved, truly possessing ultimate allure for most women.
As for Lynch’s intuitive feeling about his strength increase, he felt a confidence that he could punch a Siberian tiger to death.
Moreover, this was not an illusion, nor was it arrogance due to inflated strength.
Compared to an average adult’s base strength rating of only 2 points, 20 points of strength was undoubtedly Captain America’s level.
At this level of strength, even in this world full of monsters and demons, as long as he wasn’t too reckless and didn’t directly confront some troublesome individuals, Lynch wouldn’t have to worry about his life safety.
Of course, for a Masked Fool, this increase in strength, while necessary, was not the most important.
Compared to these strength improvements, Lynch was more interested in the new function unlocked after reaching level 10.
[Great Fun Skill Show-off]
This was another new gacha function, but the previous one was an item card pool, which produced various tools and was anchored to the current world.
This new function is used to draw skills and is not anchored to the current world.
Of course, just by looking at the name of this new function, one knows that the skills drawn will not be anything serious.
They will all conform to the Masked Fool’s characteristics, meaning abstract skills with very comedic character traits.
As is well known, comedic things defy reason and logic, and often operate entirely on rules, not to be viewed with normal eyes.
In a sense, they directly interfere with and modify reality.
After understanding this, Lynch only felt that this new function was quite overpowered.
Even with the amusement system’s attributes, it was too much of a BUG.
If there were no restrictions, he would only need to keep drawing from the skill card pool, and he would quickly become an invincible, abstract, comedic saint body, thus becoming the greatest Fun God in the endless worlds.
Yes, with too many such skills, he would no longer be a Fun Seeker (One who seeks amusement) but a Fun God.
Therefore, Lynch didn’t think things were that simple.
After a careful understanding, Lynch finally learned about the restrictions of this skill card pool function, which made it seem reasonable.
Because this skill card pool is directly tied to the level; one can draw once every 5 levels, and each draw costs double the fun points.
The first draw only requires 1000, but the second one directly becomes 2000.
And so on, the fun points spent will continuously inflate, creating a chessboard effect.
Furthermore, the fun points required for leveling up have now also increased significantly.
From level 10 to level 11, the fun points spent directly increased from 700 to 1000, such a large increase that Lynch felt he didn’t have enough fun points to spend.
“Tsk, another trash game where the numbers are destined to inflate to an extremely ridiculous degree!”
After complaining, Lynch unhesitatingly spent 1000 fun points to draw his first fun skill.
