After putting away the Black Abyss invitation, Su Xiao took out the Gun Proficiency Specialist Level scroll. This was an interesting reward.
Su Xiao's basic gun-related ability was Gun Proficiency Lv.30. With the bonus from the gem socketed into the Duke of Extinction, his basic gun-related ability had reached Gun Proficiency Specialist Level Lv.30.
Balance Order (golden gem): +1 rank to basic gun-related skills (below Specialist Level).
At present, Su Xiao's Gun Proficiency Specialist Level Lv.30 was an ability boosted by his equipment, not one he had mastered himself.
There was something Su Xiao was curious about. His own basic gun-related ability was 'Gun Proficiency Lv.30,' which meant he could use the Gun Proficiency Specialist Level scroll in his hand to raise his basic gun-related ability by one rank.
Basic, Proficient, Specialist, Master—these were the ranks of basic abilities that Su Xiao knew. Basic was the level an ordinary person could reach through arduous training. Proficient required tremendous talent. Specialist could only be reached by dedicating one's entire life to a single pursuit. As for the Master rank, it required talent, hard work, dedication, and a special opportunity.
Interestingly, Su Xiao's own gun-related ability could be raised with the Gun Proficiency Specialist Level scroll. Although his ability would drop by a certain number of levels, it would advance to the Specialist Level.
However, the Duke of Extinction had already boosted Gun Proficiency to the Specialist Level. This was a technique-type ability, and the Balance Order gem was essentially a temporary skill scroll in another form.
Su Xiao's idea was: What would happen if he used the Gun Proficiency Specialist Level scroll while receiving the bonus from the Balance Order gem?
After weighing the pros and cons, Su Xiao decided to use the Gun Proficiency Specialist Level scroll.
