Lucius turned his gaze to the system interface. "System, what if I want to get a new talent but I don't want to revert to 1-Star? Do you have any solution for that?"
A new text appeared on the system interface. Lucius immediately read what it was to see if it was the answer he was looking for.
---
[Level Retention Cost: If the user wishes to keep the current level without reverting to 1-Star, the cost scales based on the target's current rank.]
[Cost Breakdown: 2-Star: Base Cost × 10; 3-Star: Base Cost × 100; 4-Star: Base Cost × 1,000; and so on. For God-Level Talent, separate purchases are required at 1-Star, 6-Star, and 9-Star.]

Lucius leaned forward slightly and smirked as he read the explanation. "I see it now. So, the cost increases exponentially based on the user's current rank. That's quite reasonable."
He tapped his fingers on the table. "My talent is God-Level. When I first got it, the base cost was 1 million hack points before point simplification."
