Anyway, now that there were no immediate missions to be done (well, except for the Thornspawn creeper mission), there was no rush to go out. They could also (hopefully) have new customers by this time.
Now that he was at the peak of the rank, the part of each rank where it was most difficult to move, he'd need a bit more power in there to be comfortable.
For absorption, he'd only use the awakened cores. The toughened cores he had would still have to wait a while. However, Pang did say that, with his absorption capability, he could theoretically handle toughened cores too, but probably when he was already nearing the next upgrade.
It was better to consolidate his core for now—especially now that, as a Tier 3, he had a core.
He grabbed his chest, feeling the concentrated aura in that direction. He could feel the difference between tier 2 and tier 3, and they were not small.
