Why couldn't I level them all up?
Kieran asked himself.
Maybe other players were limited by their Points and Skill Points, so they couldn't level them all up.
But Kieran was different.
Since he had just completed two trades, he had enough Points and Skill Points, so he could definitely do that.
Kieran had a deep understanding of how powerful a skill was.
Even though there was a limit to how much each skill could increase his attributes.
Still, the flaws did not outweigh the gems.
Kieran couldn't deny the importance of skills to him. Without them, he wouldn't have been able to clear the newbie dungeon, let alone the rewards.
Plus, with his current Points and Skill Points,
All he had to do was adjust the order of his skills to Master, and he could level up all his attributes except for Spirit.
The change in attributes was the most direct one.
Leveling up all his attributes was no less than a rebirth for Kieran.
After some thought, Kieran made up his mind.
Level them all up!
Points and Skill Points couldn't be turned into strength.
But if he became stronger, he would be able to earn more points and Skill Points.
After making up his mind, Kieran started to level up his skills.
The first one was [Hand-to-Hand Combat].
The skill [Hand-to-Hand Combat] was ranked first because its related attributes were Strength, Agility, and Constitution. The second skill was [Firearm Weapon, Light Firearm]. After repeating the attributes of Strength and Agility, this skill had an additional attribute of Intuition.
[Tracking] was ranked third.
Previously, when Intuition reached the skill's limit, it could still be leveled up. Kieran believed that this time would be no exception.
Kieran opened the [Shop] option.
[Hand-to-Hand Combat (Entry → Master), costs 1,500 Points and 1 Skill Point. Yes/No?]
"Yes!"
[Hand-to-Hand Combat has reached Master level, you can choose one special effect]
[A: Master Hand-To-Hand Combat (When you attack with both hands, Agility + 1)]
[B: Master of Kick Combats (When you attack with your legs, you gain + 1 Strength attribute)]
[Please choose …]
The sudden choice stunned Kieran. He didn't expect such a special choice to appear.
"When a skill reaches the Master level, there will be a corresponding special effect?"
Kieran guessed.
The answer was obvious.
The special effects that appeared would allow each person to grow in a different direction.
Just like the two choices in front of him.
Two-handed Combat Proficiency was undoubtedly prepared for players who wished to develop their hands, while Two-handed Combat Proficiency was for players who wished to develop their legs.
In fact, Kieran guessed that skills such as fist techniques and leg techniques would appear.
With the selection of special effects, it wasn't impossible.
"If that's the case …"
Kieran frowned slightly.
He found it hard to make a decision.
He had his own ideas for fist and leg techniques.
However, Kieran quickly made up his mind. He thought of his other two skills: [Firearm (Light Firearm)] and [Sharp Weapon (Dagger)].
These two skills required both hands to be used!
Therefore, it was obvious which choice he would make.
"I choose B!"
[Player's Choice B: Master of Kicks]
[Name: Hand-to-hand Combat (Master)]
[Related Attributes: Strength, Agility, Constitution]
[Skill Type: Offensive]
[Effects: You know how to fight with your fists and legs, Increases damage by 30%]
[Special Effects: Master of Kicks (When you attack with your legs, Strength + 1 special effect)]
[Consumes: Stamina]
[Prerequisites: Strength F +, Agility F +, Constitution F +]
[Remarks: The level of a kickboxing champion!]
… …
[Skill Hand-to-hand Combat leveled up, Related Attributes increased …]
[Strength F + → E-]
[Agility F + → E-]
[Constitution F + → E-]
… …
After choosing the skill, knowledge and body coordination started to synchronize. The warm current appeared in Kieran's body again, nourishing Kieran's body.
When everything was over, Kieran felt his body brimming with energy again.
He couldn't help but step forward and throw his right fist.
Souuu!
A perfect jab pierced the air. Before Kieran could retract his fist, his body spun 180 degrees to the right due to the inertia of the punch. Kieran's right leg lashed out like a spring.
Fuuu!
An even louder whistling sound followed, numbing one's eardrums.
"This feels great!"
After a combo attack, Kieran clenched his fist with a big smile on his face.
Then, he started to level up the second skill.
[Firearm Weapon, Light Firearm (Entry → Master), 1000 Points, 1 Skill Point, Yes/No?]
"Yes!"
[Firearm Weapon, Light Firearm has reached Master level, you can choose one special effect]
[A: Master Reloading (When you reload, Agility + 1 effect)]
[B: Master Aim (When you aim at a target, gain + 1 Intuition effect)]
[Please choose …]
"I choose B!"
This time, Kieran didn't hesitate and made his decision.
Option A, Master Reloading, was obviously prepared for a gunner who needed to reload frequently. Kieran was aiming to become a sniper, so he chose B.
[Player Option B: Master Aim]
[Name: Firearm Weapon, Light Firearm (Master)]
[Related Attributes: Strength, Constitution, Intuition]
[Skill Type: Offensive]
[Effects: You know how to use a handgun, rifle, musket, assault rifle, submachine gun and sniper rifle, Increases damage by 30%]
[Special Effect: Proficient Aim (When you aim at a target, Intuition + 1 effect)]
[Consumes: Stamina]
[Prerequisites: Strength F +, Constitution F +, Intuition F +]
[Remarks: You are as good as a Soldier King when it comes to light firearms!]
… …
[Firearm Weapon (Light Firearm) leveled up, Related Attributes increased …]
[Strength has reached the maximum level for this skill, Unable to level up!]
[Constitution has reached the maximum level for this skill, Unable to level up!]
[Intuition E- → E]
… …
Everything was as Kieran had predicted. The E- rank attributes had once again reached the maximum level for this skill, Unable to level up.
Then, Kieran looked at the special skill [Tracking].
[Tracking (Entry → Master), costs 3,000 Points and 2 Skill Points, Yes/No?]
"Yes!"
[Tracking has reached Master level, acquired a special effect: Master Trace Detection]
[Name: Tracking (Master)]
[Related Attributes: Intuition]
[Skill Type: Ancillary]
[Effects: You can track your target by observing all kinds of traces left behind!]
[Special Effects: Master Trace Detection (You are always aware of the traces left behind by your target!)]
[Consumes: Stamina]
[Prerequisites: Intuition E-]
[Remarks: Your overall usage is even better than a hound's nose!]
… …
[Tracking has leveled up, Related Attributes increased …]
[Intuition E → E +]
… …
The [Tracking] skill did not disappoint Kieran.
With his E + Intuition, Kieran realized he could see further, hear more clearly, and even see the dust on the floor.
This made Kieran overjoyed.
The more direct the changes, the more powerful he would become.
After three of his skills had been upgraded to Master Level, he was so excited that he upgraded the remaining five skills to Master Level in one go.
[Sharp Weapon, Dagger] (Entry → Master) costs 1,000 Points and 1 Skill Point. The special effects are Master Slash and Master Pierce.
The former has a 5% chance of inflicting Tendon Break (Cripple) effect, while the latter has a 10% chance of inflicting Bleeding.
Kieran chose the former based on the actual damage.
The latter had a higher chance of triggering.
However, with Kieran's assassination fighting style, the former was more suitable.
[Evading] (Entry → Master) costs 1,500 Points and 1 Skill Point. The special effects are Master Nimble Footwork and Master Roll.
[Master Nimble Footwork: Your footwork makes your body more agile, increases Evading effect by 10%.]
[Master Roll: You can roll further and faster. Reduces rolling movement by one-fifth and increases rolling distance by one meter.]
Kieran chose Master Nimble Footwork. Although Master Roll was not bad, Kieran was more interested in the 30% Evading effect of the original Evading skill.
[Sneak] (Entry → Master) costs 1,500 Points and 1 Skill Point. The special effects are Master Nimble Footwork and Master Shadow Cover.
[Master Nimble Footwork: Your footsteps are soft, making it difficult for others to detect you. Reduces the sound of your movements by 30%. Special effects are ineffective when carrying items that are too heavy.]
[Master Shadow Cover: You can hide better in the shadows. Increases Sneak effect by 10%.
This time, Kieran was slightly hesitant. Both options were very good.
The former could reduce the sound, making it harder for others to detect him.
The latter could also increase Sneak effect.
After thinking for a while, Kieran chose the latter.
The reason was the same as Evading.
The 40% Sneak effect had reached the next level!
[Medical Treatment] and [Medical Medicinal Knowledge] required 500 Points for 1 Skill Point and 1,000 Points for 1 Skill Point respectively from Entry to Master.
[Medical Treatment] was similar to [Tracking]. There was only one special option.
[Quick Treatment]: Increases bandaging speed by 20%.
[Medical Medicinal Knowledge] was Master Healing Potion and Master Poison.
Master Healing Potion: Increases healing effect by 10%.
Master Poison: Increases poison effect by 10%.
Between the two special effects, Kieran chose the latter without hesitation.
It was something he had planned for a long time.
As a matter of fact, among the [Medical Medicinal Knowledge] skills, he placed more emphasis on poison.
After upgrading all eight skills to Master level, Kieran looked at his remaining Points and Skill Points.
4,200 Points, 1 Skill Point, 1 Gold Point.
Then, he casually tapped on the upgrade option for [Hand-to-Hand Combat].
[Hand-to-Hand Combat] was already at Master level. The next level was Pro.
It cost 4,000 Points and 2 Skill Points.
Kieran frowned. He tapped on the upgrade option for [Firearm Weapon, Light Firearm].
It cost 3,000 Points and 2 Skill Points.
Then, Kieran checked the other skills.
Even [Medical Treatment] required 1,500 Points and 2 Skill Points to upgrade to Pro level. The rest of the skills, excluding [Tracking], cost around 3,000 to 4,000 Points and 2 Skill Points.
[Tracking] required 6,000 Points and 4 Skill Points to upgrade to Pro level, which was almost double the cost of the other skills.
Although he still had enough Points, he did not have enough Skill Points.
Kieran had to give up on upgrading the skills and save up his Points and Skill Points.
After that, Kieran did not use the [Single Player Dungeon Cooldown Reset Card] right away.
He wanted to get more information from Lawless.
Three hours at most, Kieran could afford to wait.
Of course, he could not rule out Lawless's death.
