"Oh, just four hundred points? And a simple pay instead of a burn method?!!" John's eyebrows shot up.
He recalled his stats from the first time he held this parchment. Back then, his total Mental Points had hovered around a meagre one hundred and fifty. By comparing the two requirements, a new realisation about the system's logic dawned on him.
"So, when I don't have enough Mental Points to satisfy a requirement, the system offers the burning method as a high-risk alternative?"
He was mostly talking to himself, but the system, ever-present and literal, took it as a direct inquiry.
[Ding! That is indeed true! As your Mental Points have increased significantly through level-ups, you now satisfy the flat fee requirement for absorbing this map, bypassing the need for a volatile Mental Burn!]
[Ding! Inquiry Fee: 10 Mental Points are deducted for information clarification!]
