To deal with Nobian, Kieran had only upgraded three of his main skills.
They were [Hand-to-Hand Combat], [Firearm Weapon, Light Firearm] and [Evading].
[Name: Hand-to-hand Combat (Musou)]
[Related Attributes: Strength, Agility, Constitution]

…
Upgrading the three skills from Grandmaster to Musou cost Kieran 53000 Points and 32 Skill Points.
[Hand-to-Hand Combat] was the most expensive, costing 20000 Points and 12 Skill Points.
[Evasion] came in second, costing 18000 Points and 10 Skill Points.
[Firearm Weapon, Light Firearm] was the cheapest, costing 15000 Points and 10 Skill Points.
However … The huge expenditure brought about an extremely obvious effect.
Apart from the corresponding skill notifications, the special effects had also been significantly improved.
Especially the special effect of [Hand-to-Hand Combat, Kick Combat], it raised Kieran's Strength and Agility to another level.
During his previous duel with Nobian, Kieran had relied on his Musou Level [Combat Kicks] to completely suppress Nobian.
[Evading] and [Firearm Weapon (Light Firearm)] were also quite powerful.
The former increased the dodging effect by 100%, allowing Kieran to feel like a fish in water when fighting others.
The latter had an additional special effect, [Critical Point]. Although the chance of activating it was very low, it was enough to deal a fatal blow to the enemy.
After spending 53000 Points and 32 Skill Points, Kieran had … After acquiring the Points and Skill Points from killing Nobian with the Honor Kill, Kieran still had:
[Points: 69690 (Miscalculated, corrected); Skill Points: 9; Golden Skill Points: 2; Golden Attribute Points: 2]
Points and Skill Points might have been enough for others, but for Kieran, it was just too much for him to make ends meet.
Upgrading [Undercover] to Musou Level would require 18000 Points and 10 Skill Points, as well as a [Potionology] Skill Book that would cost at least 30000 Points and 10 Skill Points.
Upgrading [Burning Hand] from Basic to Entry required 10000 Points and 5 Skill Points. Kieran had to think about it for a while.
After all, this was just Basic → Entry Level!
After that, there would be Master, Pro, Grand Master, and Musou.
How many Points and Skill Points would that cost?
Kieran could not help but feel a headache when he thought about the astronomical figure.
What made Kieran even more helpless was the fact that he was looking forward to the astronomical figure. He was actually looking forward to this huge number that gave him a toothache.
Because if it wasn't this number, he wouldn't have to use normal Skill Points, but Golden Skill Points instead!
It was similar to the Musou Level [Hand-to-Hand Combat], [Firearm Weapon (Light Firearm)], and [Evading]. If he wanted to upgrade them to Transcendence, he would need Golden Skill Points.
[Hand-to-Hand Combat]: 45000 Points and 1 Golden Skill Point
[Firearm Weapon (Light Firearm): 30000 Points and 1 Golden Skill Point
[Evading]: 40000 Points and 1 Golden Skill Point
The huge amount of Points and Golden Skill Points stunned Kieran.
He could not imagine how he was going to make up for the lack of Golden Skill Points in a single dungeon.
After all, his core skill, [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Arts], relied entirely on Golden Skill Points to level up. On top of that, upgrading from Entry to Master required 10000 Points and 3 Golden Skill Points.
As he leveled up, he would need more Golden Skill Points.
"Should I increase my dungeon rating?
Or should I train myself to reduce the value? "
Kieran frowned as he thought about it.
Those were the only two options he could think of.
As for buying from other players?
Players could buy Skill Points from each other, but Golden Skill Points were out of the question.
Golden Skill Points could only be used by the players themselves.
"Golden Skill Points are good stuff!
Too bad it's too hard to get them, and other than using them yourself, they can't be traded or exchanged! "
This was something that Lawless had told him during a casual conversation.
Lawless was a chatterbox, and he would brag from time to time. However, Lawless would never lie about such things.
Plus, the other veterans did not talk about Golden Skill Points, which was enough for Kieran to understand the uniqueness of Golden Skill Points.
However, Kieran would rather the Golden Skill Points be ordinary.
That way, he wouldn't have to worry about the matter at hand.
Still, that did not stop Kieran from leveling up his skills.
Kieran would not give up on the seemingly difficult task at hand. He would fall into a quagmire of overcautious thoughts, unable to pull himself out.
Even when he was 14 years old, he did not give up on the astronomical medical fees, let alone the seemingly difficult task at hand.
[Burning Hand (Basic → Entry), Costs 10000 Points and 5 Skill Points. Yes/No?]
"Yes!"
Kieran said.
[Name: Burning Hand (Entry)]
[Related Attributes: None]
[Skill Type: Offensive]
[Effects: A 50-degree cone-shaped flame covers 2.5 meters in front of you, dealing Strong Damage, has a small chance to trigger Burn effect. (Burn: After 1 second, the target will have to undergo a Constitution authentication. If the target is lower than E rank, the target will be burned for 4 seconds, until the Burn effect disappears)]
[Consumption: 1 Cracked Ruby and some Volcano Ash]
[Prerequisites: Mystical Knowledge (Master)]
[Remarks: This is a spell that requires a hand gesture and a casting tool. It can only be cast after all the steps have been completed. If you don't want to suffer a backlash, remember this!]
...
The angle increased by 5 degrees. The area of effect also increased by 0.5 meters, but the other prerequisites remained the same.
Upgrading it to the next level would require Pro Level [Mystical Knowledge], 20000 Points and 10 Skill Points.
Everything was as Kieran had expected.
Kieran was getting more and more desperate for the Pro Level [Mystical Knowledge].
However, the four prerequisites [Alchemy], [Potionology], [Astrology] and [Research of Mystical Beings] made Kieran feel helpless.
Even if it only required a basic level, it would still be an impossible task.
At least not in the short term.
Then he asked Lawless to help him redeem some Points. When he had enough Skill Points, he chose to upgrade his [Undercover].
Why not use the Points and Skill Points to buy the [Potionology] Skill Book?
If he could really buy the [Potionology] Skill Book, Kieran wouldn't even mind increasing the price.
However, the truth was that none of the veterans around him had the [Potionology] Skill Book.
If he bought it from the Broker … Would he sign a contract to sell himself?
If he had to sign a contract to sell himself, Kieran would rather try his luck in the dungeon world.
That was why Kieran chose to upgrade [Undercover].
[Name: Undercover (Musou)]
[Related Attributes: Agility]
[Skill Type: Ancillary]
[Effects: Better use of shadows, making it harder for others to notice you. Increases Hiding by 60%]
[Special Effects: Unparalleled Shadow Cover: Better hiding in the shadows, Increases Undercover by 40%]
[Consumes: Stamina]
[Prerequisites: Agility D]
[Remarks: When you hide in the shadows, you can ignore the eyes of normal people!]
...
[Undercover leveled up, Related Attributes increased...]
[Agility has reached the maximum level of this skill, unable to level up!]
...
After leveling up, Kieran looked at his remaining Points and Skill Points.
[Points: 690; Skill Points: 0; Golden Skill Points: 2; Golden Attribute Points: 2]
"After I sell the rest of Nobian's equipment. I'll get another batch of Points and Skill Points!
However, most of the remaining skills require Golden Skill Points to level up!
The skills that don't require Golden Skill Points to level up are limited for me, since I've already formed a system. Rather than leveling them up unnecessarily, I might as well buy some necessities for the next dungeon! "
Kieran turned his attention to the next dungeon, [The Shaman's Partner].
Kieran squinted his eyes as he thought about the terrifying bronze coffin.
