Chapter 1351: Story time II

Unlike Lex's system, most systems were of a low rank. If they were newfound systems, they would start at the lowest rank, but even if they were systems that had previous owners that died, it was rare for them to have a high rank.

One would think that after the long history of systems, the average rank of systems would rise. This only made sense as systems grew in level over the course of their various owners, or by absorbing other systems.

But, at least according to what Lex knew, that was not the case. He suspected that the system network, as he was calling it, might play an active role in keeping systems low leveled. Unfortunately, Lex knew all too little about such things to be sure.

"Mary, can you link up with Ereboth's system?" Lex asked mentally.

"Nope," she answered without really appearing. "At least, not right now. That's all I can say."

So it was possible, but the circumstances weren't right. At least, that's what Lex gathered.
