What did Kieran lack the most at the moment?
Time!
That was the answer without a doubt.
That was because only with time could he become stronger in the game, obtain more equipment, earn more points, and then exchange them for money.
Time was money.
Kieran agreed with the saying. Even though money could not buy time, whether it was sickness, eating, or enjoying life, money was a must.
As an orphan, Kieran had a deeper understanding of the saying.
Thinking back to the three meals a day and the fast food that had not changed for three years, Kieran's understanding of money had been branded into his soul from his tongue.
Compared to the [Basic Medicine Crafting Platform Blueprint], Kieran valued the [Single Player Dungeon Cooldown Reset Card] more.
However, Kieran would never expose his thoughts during the trade.
So he did not agree right away. He waited for a while before replying.
2567: Not enough! The [Single Player Dungeon Cooldown Reset Card] has no value.
Lawless: At most 2,000 Points and 1 Skill Point! Any more and I'll think of something else!
...
You don't have any more valuable items?
Kieran did not care about what Lawless said after he saw the number of Points and Skill Points.
If Lawless could think of something else, he would not have been talking to Kieran.
He must not have a better idea.
Maybe he would have to pay a higher price for it.
Kieran made another bid after he calculated everything in his heart.
2567: 5,000 Points, 3 Skill Points!
Lawless: 2500 Points, 1 Skill Point. I can't go any higher!
...
Kieran placed the price at the bottom of Lawless's heart. It was not enough to scare him away, but it was enough to make him want to give up, yet he was reluctant to do so.
It was not a smart move.
After all, Lawless had already stated his own low price before the auction started.
Lawless had at least 6,000 Points and 2 Skill Points!
Or rather, he could use that much.
Since Lawless could bring out the [Basic Medicine Crafting Platform Blueprint] and the [Single Player Dungeon Cooldown Reset Card], it meant that he did not need them and could use them.
Therefore, the outcome of the transaction was already set in stone.
In the end, Lawless used 4000 Points, 2 Skill Points, the [Basic Medicine Crafting Platform Blueprint], and the [Single Player Dungeon Cooldown Reset Card] to complete the trade with Kieran for the [Tekken-2] rocket launcher.
After the trade was completed, Lawless hurriedly said "see you later" and disappeared.
Kieran tried to contact the other party again, but it showed that the other party had entered a dungeon and could not be contacted.
This made Kieran, who wanted to know more about the game through him, shrug his shoulders helplessly.
However, he was not dissatisfied.
The two of them were just trading with each other. No one owed the other anything, and there was no need for anyone to accommodate the other.
After the transaction was completed, they naturally went their separate ways.
Naturally, Kieran did not mind waiting for the other party to exit the instance dungeon. Then, he would carry out another trade – even if the other party said that there was no valuable information.
However, what Kieran needed was more basic information.
Moreover, the other party's attitude was very good news for Kieran. Not having much value usually meant that it was cheap.
Good quality and cheap.
No one would mind it.
Kieran smiled and checked his gains from the trade.
There was nothing much to say about the [Single Player Dungeon Cooldown Reset Card], so he could just use it.
As for the [Basic Medicine Crafting Platform Blueprint], Kieran had to study it carefully.
Especially when he saw the system's price.
[Do you want to spend 8000 Points to build the Basic Medicine Crafting Platform?]
[Insufficient requirements, unable to build]
"8000 Points?!"
Kieran had to take a few deep breaths to calm his astonishment.
Although he had guessed that building the [Basic Medicine Crafting Platform] would cost a lot, when he saw it with his own eyes, he was still shocked.
[Points: 17000; Skill Points: 10; Golden Skill Points: 1; Golden Attribute Points: 0]
Kieran glanced at his Points and Skill Points.
Kieran calculated in his heart. If he wanted to build the [Basic Medicine Crafting Platform], he would have to raise his [Medical and Medicinal Knowledge] to Master level. Including the cost of building it, it would cost him 9,200 Points and 1 Skill Point, which was more than half of his current Points.
He also did not have accurate information about the cost of building the platform.
If the cost of building the platform exceeded the market price between players, it would not be worth it.
However, Kieran did not give up on his original idea.
When he had accepted the trade with Lawless, he had already planned to build the [Basic Medicine Crafting Platform]. Otherwise, he could have waited for the two guilds to enter a heated battle and bought the [Tekken-2] at a high price.
Kieran knew how important potions were in the game.
This was especially true when the game's [Shop] only sold basic potions.
The blueprint clearly stated the word "basic". With the basic potion, there would be an upgrade. Once the upgrade was completed, the [Shop] would have a potion that was not available in the [Shop]. Kieran could only imagine the huge profits that would come from it.
Of course, he had to have a [Basic Medicine Crafting Platform].
If it was a long-term investment, Kieran would not mind a huge return.
Especially when there was an item like the [Single Player Dungeon Cooldown Acceleration Card], Kieran was confident that he could turn the long-term investment into a short-term investment.
However, Kieran did not just blindly start building the platform.
Building a higher level potion to gain more profit was not a bad idea.
However, Kieran knew the importance of his own strength.
If he gave up on the opportunity to increase his strength because of the [Basic Medicine Crafting Platform], Kieran would be killing the goose that laid the golden eggs.
The stronger he was, the more equipment he could get from the dungeon, and the more points he could exchange for.
The difference between primary and secondary.
Kieran was very clear about this.
Of course, if it was an [Intermediate Medicine Crafting Platform], Kieran would have built it even if he had to sell everything he had to seize the business opportunity.
However, it was a pity that it was only a foundation.
Especially when it would cost more than half of Kieran's points, Kieran chose to strengthen himself first.
That was because this kind of enhancement was also very expensive.
[Sharp Weapon, Dagger (Basic → Entry), costs 200 Points, Yes/No?]
[Evading (Basic → Entry), costs 200 Points, Yes/No?]
[Hand-to-hand Combat (Basic → Entry), costs 200 Points, Yes/No?]
[Medical, Bandage (Basic → Entry), costs 200 Points, Yes/No?]
[Medical, Medicinal Knowledge (Basic → Entry), costs 200 Points, Yes/No?]
[Tracking (Basic → Entry), costs 800 Points, Yes/No?]
Leveling up five skills from Basic to Entry cost a total of 1800 Points, and [Tracking] took up almost half of it.
Kieran chose 'Yes' to all of them.
After five rounds of knowledge transfer and body coordination.
[Sharp Weapon, Dagger], [Evading], [Hand-to-hand Combat] and [Medical, Bandage] were leveled up to Entry. Other than the skills becoming stronger, it did not change Kieran's attributes.
All of them gave him a notification. [This skill has reached its maximum level, unable to level up!] A notification like that.
It did not surprise Kieran at all.
When [Firearm Weapon, Light Firearm] was leveled up to Entry and his Intuition was unable to level up, he had already guessed it.
However, to Kieran's surprise, the [Tracking] skill had actually changed Kieran's Intuition.
[Tracking (Basic → Entry)]
[Name: Tracking (Entry)]
[Related Attributes: Intuition]
[Skill Type: Ancillary]
[Effects: You can track your target by observing all kinds of traces!]
[Consumes: Stamina]
[Prerequisites: Intuition F +]
[Remarks: Your comprehensive usage is comparable to a hunting hound's nose!]
...
[Tracking leveled up, Related attributes increasing …]
[Intuition F + → E-]
"Leveling up [Tracking] to Entry can actually increase my Intuition? Is it because of the skill book? Or is it because of the skill itself? "
Kieran guessed.
Kieran leaned towards the latter, but he did not have any more information to prove it.
Of course, such questions did not stop Kieran from leveling up his skills.
In order to be more direct, Kieran listed out the cost of each skill from Entry to Master.
[Sharp Weapon, Dagger] 1,000 Points and 1 Skill Point.
[Firearm Weapon, Light Firearm] 1,000 Points and 1 Skill Point.
[Evading] 1,500 Points and 1 Skill Point.
[Undercover] 1,500 Points and 1 Skill Point.
[Hand-to-Hand Combat] 1,500 Points and 1 Skill Point.
[Medical. Bandage] 500 Points and 1 Skill Point.
[Medical. Medicinal Knowledge] 1,000 Points and 1 Skill Point.
[Tracking] 3,000 Points and 2 Skill Points.
A total of 11000 Points and 9 Skill Points.
[Tracking] was the most expensive, it was equivalent to the cost of leveling up two skills from Entry to Master.
[Medical Bandage] was the cheapest, it was only half of the cost of the other skills.
Kieran looked at the eight skills he had and started to think about his next step.
He was most used to [Sharp Weapon, Dagger] and [Undercover], which were similar to assassination, and [Firearm Weapon, Light Firearm] and [Evading], which were similar to sniping.
All four of his skills had to be leveled up to Master level.
[Hand-to-Hand Combat] was also part of his plan because Kieran could not guarantee that he would not run into a situation where he would suddenly be without a weapon.
[Tracking] was needless to say. With its special effect, it was extremely useful in any situation.
[Medical. Medicinal Knowledge] was the foundation of [Basic Medicine Crafting Platform], so it had to be leveled up.
As for [Medical Bandage]?
Unless Kieran believed that he would not get hurt, it would be best if he could level it up to a certain level.
At a glance, almost all of his skills had to be leveled up.
Compared to the extreme method of leveling up a single skill to its limit, Kieran preferred to be well-rounded because it was not your strongest skill that determined your strength, but your weakest skill.
Especially the former, which was easier to counter.
It was no doubt that Kieran leaned towards the latter.
However, leveling up all of them would cost a lot.
Kieran could not help but frown.
