Gathering Wives with a System

Chapter 547: Majestic Shopping Spree, Maxing Catherine’s Stats, Upgraded Titles

Isaac quickly searched through the Main Shop.

After a few moments, he found what he was looking for.

[+10 All Stat Bundle (x5): 50,000 AP]

[+50 All Stat Bundle (x5): 100,000 AP]

[+100 All Stat Bundle (x5): 80,000 AP]

Each bundle contained five different stat potions. One potion increased Strength, another Agility, while the remaining three enhanced Constitution, Spirit Power, and Mana.

For example, the +10 All Stat Bundle contained five potions that each increased a specific stat by ten points. The same principle applied to the stronger bundles.

The pricing immediately caught Isaac’s attention. Normally, stronger products should cost more money.

Yet the +100 bundle was actually cheaper than the +50 bundle.

After a moment of thought, he understood the reasoning. Many businesses intentionally discounted premium products because they wanted customers to spend more money overall.

When buyers saw a much better deal, they often convinced themselves that spending more was the smart choice. They felt as if they were saving money even though they were actually increasing their total spending.

The System Shop appeared to operate on the same principle.

Isaac planned to purchase the +100 bundles for Catherine. Before doing that, however, he needed to calculate exactly how many were required.

He opened Catherine’s status screen through his Lord Profile. Then he compared her current stats to the day he had first shared them.

Strength: 819 → 820

Agility: 999 → 1000

Constitution: 679 → 750

Spirit Power: 912 → 920

Mana: 978 → 1200

Not much increase.

Isaac wasn’t surprised by the results. Only a few weeks had passed since he copied her status.

Furthermore, Catherine had already been a Level 50 Champion back then. For someone at her level, gaining additional stat points was incredibly difficult.

Ordinary training no longer provided meaningful improvements. Consuming normal stat potions was also dangerous because of mana poisoning, mana overdose, and potion immunity.

The biggest improvements were clearly Constitution and Mana. That wasn’t a coincidence.

For the past few weeks, Catherine had been consuming the Constitution and Mana potions that Isaac produced through his farming abilities. Those potions were significantly purer than anything available on the market.

Because of that, Catherine had managed to increase her Constitution by seventy points and her Mana by over two hundred points in only a few weeks. Such growth would have been impossible with ordinary potions.

Most people could only consume one potion every week or so. Even then, those potions usually increased stats by only two to ten points.

After repeated consumption, potion immunity would begin developing. Some unlucky individuals even suffered mana poisoning.

Isaac’s potions were different. Their purity dramatically reduced those risks and allowed Catherine to consume them far more frequently.

Even so, the process remained slow. At her current pace, it would still take months before her Constitution and Mana reached five thousand.

That was why Isaac had turned toward the System Shop. He had already confirmed that System Shop potions were of the highest possible quality. They could be consumed instantly without worrying about side effects, immunity, or poisoning. That alone made them priceless.

’Sis needs roughly four thousand additional points in every category.’

’That means I need forty of the +100 All Stat Bundles.’

Without hesitation, he pressed the purchase button.

+100 All Stat Bundle (x5) (x40) Purchased

AP Balance: 32,455,988.11 AP → 29,255,988.11 AP

Isaac hissed through his teeth. He lost more than three million AP. All of it gone. Vanished, as if it was never there to begin with.

The loss physically hurt. It felt like watching a mountain of treasure disappear before his eyes.

Still, he reminded himself that this was for Catherine, his wife, someone he loved dearly, and it was an investment in the future.

Afterward, he purchased several additional potions to fully max out her remaining stats. Moments later, dozens of boxes appeared across the table.

Each box contained five potions. The table quickly became covered by them.

Even Catherine looked surprised. Her eyes moved from the boxes to Isaac and then back to the boxes again.

Someone as composed as her rarely showed emotion, yet even she couldn’t completely hide her shock.

Then Isaac delivered the real bombshell.

”Each of those potions can increase a stat by one hundred points. Drink all of them, and every one of your stats will reach five thousand.”

For several seconds, Catherine simply stared at him. Even she needed time to process what she had just heard.

Finally, she shook her head.

”I didn’t know my little brother was hiding a secret treasure vault.”

Isaac chuckled.

Catherine picked up the first potion and drank it. A surge of energy spread through her body almost immediately. Then she drank the second and third potion. Her aura began growing stronger with every bottle she consumed.

As more potions disappeared, the changes became increasingly obvious. The air around her grew heavier.

Her mana reserves expanded at a terrifying speed. Her body continuously adapted, becoming stronger, faster, and more durable with every passing minute.

Isaac could practically feel the difference. By the time she finished the first box, Catherine’s presence had already surpassed her previous self by a large margin.

Yet she continued drinking.

Box after box disappeared. The process lasted a long time because there were simply too many potions. Every few minutes, another visible leap occurred. Her Strength increased, her Agility sharpened, and her Constitution became sturdier. Her Spirit Power deepened as well. Meanwhile, her Mana reserves continued expanding at an absurd rate.

The Catherine sitting before him gradually transformed into something monstrous. Not in appearance, but in sheer power.

By the time she reached the final few boxes, even Isaac felt pressured by the aura leaking from her body.

Finally, she drank the last potion.

A powerful wave erupted from her body and spread throughout the Mirror Dimension. The pressure lasted only a moment before rapidly settling down.

Catherine slowly opened her eyes. The woman sitting before Isaac looked exactly the same as before.

Yet at the same time, she felt completely different.

Isaac smiled.

Now that all of her stats had reached five thousand, her Champion Titles should have been upgraded.

’System, share her upgraded Titles!’ he said with a grin.

Immediately, several notifications appeared before him.
