Report

Kieran frowned as he checked the stats.

Although his strength had undergone a qualitative change, according to Kieran's original plan, his Intuition should have reached C- rank.

However, after leveling up the [Firearm Weapon, Light Firearm] skill from Master to Pro, all the skills related to it had reached the 'Current Level Limit for Skill Type', including the Intuition skill that he had planned to level up.

"When the attributes reach E + rank, it's similar to Basic Skill Mastery to Pro Level?

"Based on this, once one's attributes surpass E + and enter the realm of surpassing the limits of ordinary people, it will be extremely difficult to increase one's attributes using basic skills. It will take two or three levels before one can increase their attributes again, or it might even be impossible to increase it!"

Kieran speculated.

Up until this point, Kieran finally understood why a Legendary Skill Book could start a war.

It wasn't just because of the power of the skill itself, it was also related to the increase of attributes and the growth of the character.

Even if it was a Legendary Skill, the requirements would be higher and it would be harder to learn, but it would still make people scramble for it.

After all, with a Legendary Skill, while others were idling at the same spot, one could advance triumphantly. All it would take was one or two dungeons to widen the gap.

"Then, the Golden Attribute Points …"

With a thoughtful gaze, Kieran looked at the Golden Attribute Points.

The Golden Attribute Points that could add + 1 to any attribute was obviously to make up for a person's shortcomings.

Otherwise, even if one acquired a Rare or Legendary skill, they wouldn't be able to learn it.

For example, [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Arts]'s Basic Level requirement was to reach F + in all five attributes. With the help of Basic Skills, other than the Spirit attribute, one would be able to reach the standard very quickly.

If one wanted to increase the Spirit attribute, they would have to learn Spirit related skills or use the Golden Attribute Points.

Other than the [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Arts], Kieran hadn't seen any other skills related to Spirit until now.

It was obviously very hard to get.

At least not in the early stages of the dungeon.

Therefore, the Golden Attribute Points were a must.

However, Golden Attribute Points were also very difficult to obtain. A double S rating was enough to show how precious they were.

In this regard, Kieran, who had experienced fighting with the Giant Crocodile Primus, understood this very well.

Kieran did not intend to use his Golden Attribute Points immediately.

Golden Attribute Points did not need to be returned to the game room. They could increase any attribute by one at any time. In Kieran's initial plan, they would appear as a trump card.

In the face of a life-threatening crisis, if one's strength or speed were just a little bit greater, one would be able to turn the situation around.

After realizing the true use of the Golden Attribute Points, Kieran did not intend to change his mind.

After all, he didn't have any more Rare or Legendary skills that didn't meet the requirements to learn.

Kieran withdrew his gaze from the Golden Attribute Points and looked at the Points and Skills Pane again.

Points: 5,900

[Skill Point: 3]



Looking at his remaining Points and Skill Points, Kieran opened up the upgrade option for Pro [Hand-to-Hand Combat].

The next level after Expert was Master.

It would cost 8,000 Points and 4 Skill Points.

[Firearm Weapon, Light Firearm] would cost 6,000 Points and 4 Skill Points to upgrade to Grand Master.

[Evading] and [Undercover] would cost 7,000 Points and 4 Skill Points.

[Tracking] was undoubtedly the highest, costing 12000 Points and 8 Skill Points.

The amount of Points and Skill Points needed to upgrade from Pro to Grand Master still left Kieran speechless, even though he had prepared for it.

Based on his first dungeon, which had a double S rating, he could only upgrade one of his skills to Grand Master.

It was far from enough for [Tracking].

As for [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art]?

Upgrading it from Entry to Master would cost 10000 Points and 3 Golden Skill Points. Kieran missed Guntherson's teachings very much.

Upgrading [Barsical Kick] from Entry to Master would cost 6,000 Points and 4 Skill Points. It was the same cost as upgrading a Basic skill to Grand Master.

However, since Kieran's own level could not exceed [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art]'s level, it was a little more difficult.

Obviously, the remaining skills would not be able to upgrade his Pro skills, [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art] and [Barsical Kick].

Kieran turned his attention to the Basic skills [Firearm Weapon, Explosion] and [Lockpicking].

In his initial plan, Kieran had planned to upgrade both skills to Master.

After all, [Firearm Weapon, Explosion] was closely related to the power of a hand grenade.

Before Kieran decided to give up on simple and practical weapons like hand grenades, [Firearm Weapon, Explosion] would definitely be upgraded.

As for Lockpicking?

No one could guarantee that a locked door wouldn't have a treasure chest behind it, and that treasure chest would require a certain level of lockpicking skills.

After spending 2,400 Points and 2 Skill Points, Kieran upgraded both skills to Master level.

[Firearm Weapon, Explosion has reached Master level, able to choose one special effect]

[A: Master of Firearm (The explosive weapon in your hand can explode with greater power, Damage + 10%)]

[B: Master of Throwing (You have better throwing skills, able to throw the explosives at your enemy's feet in a more ingenious manner)]

[Please choose …]

"I choose B!"

After some thought, Kieran made up his mind.

He was concerned about the power of the grenades, but he was more concerned about the accuracy of the weapons.

If the grenades could not hit the enemy, what was the point of being powerful?

Therefore, Master of Throwing was what Kieran wanted.

[Player's Choice B: Master of Throwing]

[Name: Firearm Weapon, Explosion (Master)]

[Related Attributes: Strength, Agility]

[Skill Type: Offensive]

[Effects: You know how to use self-made explosives, detonators, hand grenades, hand grenades and other weapons, Increases Damage by 30%]

[Special Effect: Master of Throwing (You have better throwing skills, able to throw the explosives at your enemy's feet in a more ingenious manner)]

[Consumes: Stamina]

[Prerequisites: None]

[Remarks: Explosion is art, and you are not qualified!]

...

[Skill: Firearm Weapon, Explosion leveled up, Related Attributes leveled up …]

[Strength has reached the maximum level for this skill, Unable to level up further!]

[Agility has reached the maximum level for this skill, Unable to level up further!]

...

[Lockpicking reached Master level, able to choose one special effect]

[A: Master of Rapid Lockpicking (You can open a lock faster than normal)]

[B: Master of Silent Lockpicking (You can open a lock faster than normal)]

[Please choose …]

"I choose B!"

After some thought, Kieran gave his answer.

Although Rapid Lockpicking was not bad, Kieran thought it was better to be more discreet. Otherwise, no matter how fast he was, it would be useless if he was discovered.

[Player's Choice B: Master of Silent Lockpicking]

[Name: Lockpicking (Master)]

[Related Attributes: Agility, Intuition]

[Skill Type: Ancillary]

[Effects: You know how to use hair clips, iron wires, screwdrivers and other weapons to open complicated locks!]

[Special Effect: Master of Silent Lockpicking (You can open a lock faster than normal)]

[Consumes: Stamina]

[Prerequisites: None]

[Remarks: Make sure there is no one around when you open a lock!]

...

[Lockpicking leveled up, Related Attributes leveled up …]

[Agility has reached the maximum level for this skill, Unable to level up further!]

[Intuition has reached the maximum level for this skill, Unable to level up further!]

...

All the skills that Kieran had planned to level up had been upgraded.

The Points and Skill Points that he had were reduced to 3,500 and 1 Skill Point.

It was more than enough for Kieran, who only needed to buy 5 hand grenades.

Kieran remembered that there was a [U-2] Defensive Hand Grenade on the forum that cost around 300 Points.

Before Kieran could search the forum though, Lawless sent him a message.

Lawless: Someone asked me to contact you!

Lawless: This guy is different from Blacksmith, he's not my friend!

Lawless: But this guy is well-informed. He's one of the founders of the secret bazaar and the best broker in the underground game.

Lawless: He's one of his biggest clients. He needs to clear the 5th dungeon, and in order to lower the dungeon's difficulty, he's looking for a player with similar abilities and a low dungeon entry.

Lawless: Then, you appeared in his sight.

Lawless: He promised to sign a contract with you and give you a satisfactory price.

Lawless: What do you think?

...

After reading through the messages from Lawless, Kieran was not surprised that he had caught the attention of a veteran player.

In fact, when he had been selling the [Tekken-2] rocket launcher, Kieran had known that he had caught the attention of a veteran player.

Kieran wasn't surprised that Lawless was able to contact him so accurately.

After all, the last time Lawless had been in a dungeon, it had been a dungeon.

As long as Lawless took out the [Tekken-2], he would not be able to hide it from other players.

There must be a reason why Lawless claimed that Lawless was well-informed.

Kieran's eyes lingered on the words' 5th dungeon will sign a contract with you and give you a satisfactory price 'before asking directly.

2567: What price?

PS: I admit that the last chapter was a little lame …

But it's just a setting, I can't leave it out. Please forgive me.

So, this chapter isn't considered a breakthrough!

Consider it as compensation to everyone!

Although there were some settings, Decadent tried his best to apologize to everyone.
