Lucien heard the series of prompts in his mind showing the wealth he now owned. Hearing the continuous notifications, he couldn’t help but smile and think,

’Fuck, I am rich!’

Just looking at the number of different treasure chambers filled with various goods, he was dazzled, not to mention that he had no idea how much wealth was stored inside each of them.

However, the system didn’t stop after calculating his wealth. Instead, it began prompting him with the things he wanted to get in the first place.

Ding!

[Wealth far beyond the host’s level detected. Unlocking new features...]

[Congratulations! You have unlocked four new Debt Collection System features: Hidden Debt Marker, Debt Value Appraisal, Partial Collection, and Claim Control.]

---

[Hidden Debt Marker:

→ Use this feature to secretly mark your debtors, tracking their location and growth within the system.→ Max Limit: 50 marks.]

---

[Debt Value Appraisal:

→ Use this feature to scan a person’s overall worth: stats, talents, resources, potential, and assign an approximated debt value between 0 to 100.

→ Only those with a debt value above 0 can be targeted for extraction. Please note: this value may decrease with the number of extractions.

Note: This feature cannot properly appraise higher-level energies until the host reaches sufficient strength.]

---

[Partial Collection:

→ This feature allows you to collect part of an uncollected debt early, even from stronger targets.

→ The percentage you can collect depends on your strength gap.

→ The higher the gaps smaller the amounts that can be taken from the debtor without detection.]

---

[Claim Control: You can now control when to receive collected debt after default. Until you allow the debt collection, the debtor can keep the abilities that were meant to be extracted.]

---

’Wow!’

Once the prompt finished, Lucien didn’t have any other words to describe his surprise.

’Four new features, and each one is exactly what I want. Especially the last one... Claim Control.’

Lucien’s heart skipped a beat in excitement.

The major reason why he was so defensive about using his system on others was that he couldn’t control the extraction.

The moment they decided not to pay his loan, the system would automatically extract something of equivalent value right then.

He had no control at all. This was a major risk.

’But with Claim Control, Debt Marker, and Value Appraisal features, using the system is now much safer.’

Lucien thought, then finally looked at the remaining feature in the prompt.

’Partial Collection... can help me collect part of an uncollected debt early. Only, the collection percentage depends on the strength gap?’

’Wait a minute, doesn’t that mean I can now collect the debt from Second Prince Dorian?’

Lucien suddenly thought in surprise and hurriedly ordered his system,

’System, show me my status panel.’

It had been a while since he checked his status, so he could take this time to see the changes, too.

"Swoosh!"

As soon as he gave the order, a transparent panel appeared in his mind, filled with his information:

’Just as I thought.’

Lucien could see that there wasn’t much change to his base stats. The only difference was that he was now an awakened being who had four secondary classes.

Although he wanted to look at the class benefits, he stopped himself for now as he was other matters to attend to.

’So, I can indeed partially collect the debt from Dorian, huh?’

Lucien saw the addendum and thought,

’Should I... collect it now?’

He couldn’t help but have an impulse to use this new feature he got.

After all, Dorian was a Peak Weaver Rank Mage, and he was only at the Peak of Apprentice rank.

Although he knew that he could get strong fast, this urge to use the new feature was hard to control.

Moreover, the system had clearly said that as time passed, the extraction would become less and less.

Who knew, by the time he reached a higher realm, the collection might not even be as good as it was now?

A test was necessary.

’It is better to know the system well early. It isn’t like I am wasting it. I think it is worth the effort.’

Lucien couldn’t stop himself, made a good excuse, and decided to check this feature.

After all, the curiosity was gnawing at him.

’System, use partial collection on Dorian Edoria.’

The moment he decided, he immediately gave the order, to which the system promptly responded.

Ding!

[You have decided to use partial collection on Dorian Edoria.]

[After starting the partial collection feature, you cannot stop.]

[Debt owed by Dorian Edoria: 500,000 Gold and partial deed to Azure Vein Trade Route]

[Calculating the collection percentage based on the strength gap between the host and Dorian.]

[...]

[Host is more than three realms lower than the debtor. The collection percentage is 20%.]

’So low?’

Lucien frowned slightly, a faint regret already showing on his face. But now that he had decided, he didn’t care.

Like he had said before, take it as a test.

[Analyzing transactions...]

[Extracting compensation of equivalent value...]

[Congratulations! You gained: Lifespan: +10, Tenebrous Soul Codex (Uncommon)]

’The heck? That’s it?’

Lucien stared blankly at the system prompt.

For a moment, he wondered if this was some kind of sick joke.

Out of all the things Dorian had, the system chose to hand him the two such useless things.

Was this system mocking him... or was Dorian’s value really this shallow?
