Chapter 68

Qin Ran frowned as he examined—

Although his strength had undergone a qualitative change, according to Qin Ran's original plan, his Perception should have reached the C- level by now.

However, after upgrading the skill [Firearms: Light Firearms] from Proficient to Expert, all the skills related to [Firearms: Light Firearms] had reached the 'current level upgrade limit for this type of skill,' including the Perception that Qin Ran had originally planned to improve.

"Does this mean that once an attribute reaches the E+ level, it is similar to the limit of a basic skill from Proficient to Expert?"

"Then, by this reasoning, once an attribute surpasses the E+ level and enters the realm beyond the limits of ordinary people, the attribute enhancement brought by basic skills will become extremely difficult, requiring two or three levels to improve once, or even impossible to improve at all!"

Qin Ran speculated.

At this point, Qin Ran finally understood why a legendary-level skill book could cause a war.

It was not just because of the power of the skill itself, but also because it was related to the increase in attributes and the growth of the character.

Even if a legendary-level skill is more demanding and difficult to learn, it would still attract people like moths to a flame.

After all, with a legendary-level skill, while others are stuck in place, you can advance rapidly, and with just one or two dungeons, you can create a significant gap.

"So, the Golden Attribute Points..."

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

The Golden Attribute Points, which can add +1 to any attribute, are clearly intended to compensate for personal weaknesses.

Otherwise, even if you obtain rare or legendary skills, you won't be able to learn them.

For example, the basic level learning condition for [Dawn Knight Body Training Technique] is to have all five attributes reach the F+ level. With the help of basic skills, it is easy to meet the standard except for the Spirit attribute.

To improve the Spirit attribute, you can either learn skills related to Spirit or use the Golden Attribute Points.

Apart from [Dawn Knight Body Training Technique] itself, Qin Ran had not seen any other skills related to the Spirit attribute so far.

Clearly, they are extremely difficult to obtain.

At least, they won't appear in early dungeons.

Therefore, the Golden Attribute Points became a necessity.

However, the Golden Attribute Points are equally difficult to obtain, and a double S rating is enough to illustrate their inherent value.

Qin Ran, who had experienced the battle with the giant crocodile Pluss, understood this all too well.

Qin Ran originally did not intend to use the Golden Attribute Points immediately.

The characteristic of the Golden Attribute Points, which can add +1 to any attribute at any time without returning to the game room, was intended to be a trump card in Qin Ran's initial plan.

Facing a fatal crisis, a little more strength or a little more speed could turn the tide.

After realizing the true purpose of the Golden Attribute Points, Qin Ran still did not plan to change his mind.

After all, he did not have more rare or legendary skills that required unmet attribute conditions to learn.

Qin Ran withdrew his gaze from the Golden Attribute Points and looked at the points and skill bar again.

[Points: 5900]

[Skill Points: 3]

...

Looking at the remaining points and skill points, Qin Ran clicked on the upgrade option for the Expert-level [Unarmed Combat].

The next level after Expert is Master.

It requires 8000 points and 4 skill points.

To upgrade [Firearms: Light Firearms] to Master level requires 6000 points and 4 skill points.

[Dodge] and [Stealth] require 7000 points and 4 skill points.

[Tracking] is undoubtedly the highest, requiring 12000 points and 8 skill points.

The points and skill points required to upgrade from Expert to Master, which Qin Ran had already prepared for, still left him speechless.

After all, according to his first double S-level evaluation, he could only reach the Master level for any one skill.

Moreover, it was far from enough for [Tracking].

As for [Dawn Knight Body Training Technique]?

To upgrade from Beginner to Proficient requires 10000 points and 3 Golden Skill Points, making Qin Ran miss Gong Lansen's teaching.

To upgrade [Bessica Kick] from Beginner to Proficient requires 6000 points and 4 skill points, which is the same as the cost to upgrade a basic skill to Master level.

However, with the restriction that its level cannot exceed the level of [Dawn Knight Body Training Technique], it becomes a bit more difficult.

Clearly, the remaining skills are not enough to further improve the existing Expert-level skills and [Dawn Knight Body Training Technique] and [Bessica Kick].

Qin Ran looked at the Beginner-level [Firearms: Explosives] and [Lockpicking].

In his initial upgrade plan, Qin Ran intended to upgrade these two skills to Proficient.

After all, the skill [Firearms: Explosives] is closely related to the power of grenades.

As long as Qin Ran does not intend to give up such a simple and practical weapon as a grenade, [Firearms: Explosives] will definitely be upgraded.

And lockpicking?

No one can guarantee that a locked door won't have a treasure chest behind it, and that treasure chest also requires you to have a certain level of lockpicking ability.

After spending 2400 points and 2 skill points, both skills reached the Proficient level.

[Firearms: Explosives reached Proficient level, choose one special effect]

[A: Proficient in Explosives (Your explosive weapons can unleash greater power, +10% damage)]

[B: Proficient in Throwing (You have better throwing skills and can more skillfully throw explosives at the enemy's feet)]

[Please choose...]

"I choose B!"

After a brief thought, Qin Ran made his choice.

He cared about the power of grenades and other explosive weapons, but he cared more about their accuracy.

What's the point of a grenade that can't hit the enemy, no matter how powerful it is?

Therefore, Proficient in Throwing is what Qin Ran wanted.

[Player chose B: Proficient in Throwing]

[Name: Firearms: Explosives (Proficient)]

[Attributes: Strength, Agility]

[Skill Type: Attack]

[Effect: You know how to use homemade explosives, detonators, grenades, and other weapons, increasing damage by 30%]

[Special Effect: Proficient in Throwing (You have better throwing skills and can more skillfully throw explosives at the enemy's feet)]

[Cost: Stamina]

[Learning Condition: None]

[Note: Explosions are an art, and you are not yet qualified!]

...

[Skill Firearms: Explosives upgraded, related attributes improved...]

[Strength has reached the current level upgrade limit for this type of skill, cannot be improved!]

[Agility has reached the current level upgrade limit for this type of skill, cannot be improved!]

...

[Lockpicking reached Proficient level, choose one special effect]

[A: Proficient in Quick Lockpicking (You can open a lock faster)]

[B: Proficient in Silent Lockpicking (You make less noise when lockpicking)]

[Please choose...]

"I choose B!"

After a long thought, Qin Ran gave his answer.

Although quick lockpicking is also good, Qin Ran believed that being more discreet when lockpicking is the right choice, otherwise, even if you open the lock quickly, it is useless if you are discovered.

[Player chose B: Proficient in Silent Lockpicking]

[Name: Lockpicking (Proficient)]

[Attributes: Agility, Perception]

[Skill Type: Auxiliary]

[Effect: You know how to use hairpins, wires, and long screwdrivers to open complex locks!]

[Special Effect: Proficient in Silent Lockpicking (You make less noise when lockpicking)]

[Cost: Stamina]

[Learning Condition: None]

[Note: Make sure no one is around when lockpicking!]

...

All the skills planned for improvement were now upgraded.

The originally ample points and skill points were now down to 3500 points and 1 skill point.

However, this was enough for Qin Ran, who only needed to buy 5 grenades.

Qin Ran clearly remembered that a defensive grenade similar to [U-2] on the forum was priced at about 300 points.

However, before Qin Ran could start looking on the forum, 'Lawless' sent him a private message.

Lawless: Someone asked me to contact you!

Lawless: This person is different from the craftsman, not my friend!

Lawless: However, this person is well-informed, one of the founders of the 'Black Market,' and the best broker in the underground game.

Lawless: One of his major clients needs to pass the fifth team dungeon and wants to reduce the difficulty of the dungeon by finding a player with the corresponding strength and very few dungeon attempts.

Lawless: Then, you appeared in his sights.

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

Lawless: What do you think?

...

After carefully reading the series of private messages from 'Lawless,' Qin Ran was not surprised to be noticed by veteran players.

In fact, when selling the [Fist-2] rocket launcher, Qin Ran knew that being noticed by veteran players was inevitable.

And being able to contact him accurately through 'Lawless' did not surprise Qin Ran either.

After all, 'Lawless' had experienced a team dungeon last time.

As long as 'Lawless' took out the [Fist-2] rocket launcher, it couldn't be hidden from other players.

And 'Lawless' mentioned that the other party was well-informed, which must have a reason.

Qin Ran's gaze lingered on 'fifth team dungeon' and 'will sign a contract and offer you a satisfactory price' for a moment before he asked directly.

2567: What price?

PS: Feifei admits that the previous chapter was a bit watered down...

But it's all setting, can't help but write it, please bear with me!

So, this chapter doesn't count as an outbreak!

Consider it as compensation for everyone!

Although there are some settings, Feifei is trying to express his apologies~

Then, the cute Feifei rolls off to sleep~
