The Difference Between Perfect Grade and Epic Grade

This dialogue, which took place in the Shadow World, ultimately ended without a conclusion.

Although no valuable results were reached in the discussion, Bai Zhi learned a lot of relevant information. And just as the White-haired loli said at the beginning, knowing these things too early is not a good thing.

If it weren't for what happened at [Noah's Ark], Qingyi wouldn't have told him so much beforehand out of concern for him.

Given the personality of this White-haired loli, it's more likely that she's secretly preparing for this on her own, since Anna has a few years to spare.

Perhaps the very night he brought Anna back, the White-haired loli had already learned everything from Anna and was already making preparations... It's fortunate that she was able to keep this matter to herself for so long.

"By the way, how much Spiritual Energy Value do you have right now?"

With an inexplicably sour expression, the White-haired loli asked him a question.

"Uh... a little over 1000."

After glancing at the attribute panel, Bai Zhi gave his answer.

"That's too little. You need at least 2000 points. Drink that Magic Potion a few more times when you get back."

With a slight frown, the White-haired loli quickly made a decision.

"You've reached Level ten by now, right? It's time for your [Shadow] Skill to evolve further; you can't afford to Spiritual Energy Value."

"Wait, didn't you say before that you shouldn't drink too much of that kind of Magic Potion in a short period of time, otherwise it would cause Mental Pollution?"

Recalling the Hell experience of taking the medicine, Bai Zhi's face turned pale involuntarily, and he quickly began to speak.

"Also, what Skill would require a full 2000 points...?"

"It might cause Mental Pollution for others, but for someone like you who can scare away the [Lord of Flesh and Blood], isn't it you who is causing Mental Pollution for others?"

With a Qingyi pursed lip, Qingyi took the lead and walked at the very front.

"Since you were unaffected by that level of scrutiny, then the Mental Pollution caused by a Magic Potion is utterly insignificant... Also, you don't really believe that the Skill our world developed at the last moment, by pooling all the Strength and resources of the entire world, is merely at the Perfect Level, do you?"

"Uh... so that Skill can be upgraded again?"

Trying hard to control himself and stop thinking about his miserable future of taking medication, Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly.

"If it's upgraded again, wouldn't that be Epic Grade Skill?"

"The original Skill [Shadow] wasn't designed for a newbie Player, but who knew you'd meet the learning requirements even as Novice Period..."

Turning her head, she gave Bai Zhi a slightly strange look and let out a Qingyi hum.

"Anyway, you definitely have some secrets I don't know. Nothing good has happened since I first met you... It's not easy to jump from Perfect Skill to Epic Grade Skill. Right now, your Skill is only at Half Perfect level."

"Is there any particularly noticeable difference between Half Perfect... Perfect Skill and Epic Skill?"

Bai Zhi appeared slightly surprised.

"The learning conditions are even more stringent... To put it simply, at least 90% of Player destined to never learn Skill of Epic Level or higher. Perfect Grade is their peak; they are destined to never reach a higher level. The same applies to Equipment and items; even if they are lucky enough to obtain them, they are destined to be unable to use them."

Qingyi began to speak in a muffled voice.

"These are the specific statistics from my world, they should all be roughly the same... Let's go back, I'm hungry."

"Let's go then."

With a slight smile, Bai Zhi extended his hand to the other person.

"Um..."

After a moment of silence, Qingyi reached out and took Bai Zhi's hand.

"... I hope that next time, we can share a secret."

Isn't this it?

Having finally figured out what the other person was unhappy about, after a moment of astonishment, Bai Zhi raised the other person's hand and winked at the jealous White-haired loli in front of him.

"Our conversation today is a secret between the two of us."

"Report: A total of three Base Attributes points have been increased: two in Strength and one in Constitution."

Sitting cross-legged on the Sofa in a rather Girl manner, Xia Wen raised her hand to report her findings.

"Also, could you please add some sugar next time?"

"Rejected. Next."

She pulled out a pair of Glasses from somewhere and Qingyi them on, then, without looking up, answered the question while recording relevant data in her Notebook.

"Uh... a total of five Base Attributes points were increased: one point in Constitution, two points in Agility, and two points in Strength."

After glancing at Xia Wen, who was dejectedly drinking a bottle of Herbal Tea, Lin Xiaoyi obediently raised her hand as well.

"Very good. Your next drug trial is tomorrow morning at eight o'clock. Remember to get up early and don't sleep in."

Nodding, Qingyi twirled her pen in a flourish before standing up from her chair.

"Call me when it's lunchtime."

After saying all this, without waiting for anyone's reply, the White-haired loli dragged her little bear slippers all the way back to her room.

In a sense, her task now is quite heavy. Because of someone's absurd Mental Resistance, she has to put the Magic Potion, which she originally planned to do a few days later, on the agenda this afternoon.

Right now, she wasn't in the mood to focus on anything else... but she had already sent her Shadow Guard to keep a close eye on the two newcomers.

And judging by this situation, there might be new ones coming in the future. What I need to do now is relax, yeah, relax...

"Uh... why are you all looking at me?"

Upon seeing Xia Wen and Lin Xiaoyi enter the room in Qingyi, Bai Zhi immediately focused his gaze on him. He touched his forehead, looking slightly speechless.

"You guys are pretty lucky. Back when I was trying to improve this... wait, Xia Wen, where did you get that Herbal Tea from!?"

"Inside the refrigerator, where else could it be?"

Xia Wen glanced at Bai Zhi with a slightly puzzled look, then gulped down a large mouthful of Herbal Tea and gave Bai Zhi a thumbs-up.

"However, I must say, you actually have my favorite flavor here! One word: awesome!!!"

"... never mind."

Bai Zhi's lips twitched slightly. Considering the 300,000 yuan, he decided not to argue with the other party.
