Gary was over the moon with being granted the pawn points. He could use these to either upgrade the stats that couldn't be upgraded through the crystals, evolve his subordinates, or use it to unlock new skills as well.
It was the reason why he had entered the tier-4 city in the first place. In hopes that he would get quests to help him grow. The fact that he had found beast crystals was an extra bonus.
On top of that, he was able to test out his new strength. He could feel his body becoming lighter, his movements moving with ease, and his mind syncing up more so with his body. It was hard for Gary to explain, but when he transformed as a werewolf, although he could move faster than he ever could in this form, there were times where he just thought the body was still lagging behind the thoughts in his mind.
