The Tycoon's Way-Tier-Two Skills Maxed
"Species-type skills?"
A hint of surprise flashed in the senior engineer's eyes. Although he knew that the benefits of this "legacy of the wise man" would be considerable, the fact that it unlocked a species skill was still somewhat unexpected.
Skills are generally divided into three categories: modification type, professional type, and ordinary type.
Modification skills are generally skills that come with human body modifications and cannot be upgraded.
The professional type is derived from job advancement, and its power generally increases as the job level increases, but it is rare to be able to upgrade.
Ordinary skills are "triggered" for various reasons. They can be upgraded, but cannot be promoted to a higher rank. Reaching "Master" is the maximum level.
These are the three main categories, but there is another subcategory called "Species-type Skills," also known as "Bloodline Skills."
Generally speaking, bloodline brings talent, but talent cannot be upgraded; in fact, once bloodline is changed, talent disappears.
However, bloodline skills are different. First, bloodline skills can purify bloodlines and increase attributes. Second, bloodline skills have the potential to be upgraded. As long as the necessary conditions are met, a second-tier skill can become a third-tier or even a fourth-tier skill.
This is a skill that can evolve on its own!
Without much hesitation, the senior engineer raised it up.
[You upgraded the Digital Wisdom Bead to level 2]
[You have upgraded the Digital Wisdom Bead to level 3]
[You upgraded the Digital Wisdom Bead to level 4]
...brag
[You upgraded the Digital Wisdom Bead to level 9, investing 2 specialization points. This skill has been upgraded from 'Normal' to 'Advanced'.]
Digital Wisdom Bead (Second Tier) (Advanced): The crystallization of original digital life, possessing the power of "Intermediate Wisdom Enlightenment" (Beginner). It has a 17% (13%) chance to enlighten digital life below the 3rd generation, an 8% (5%) chance to enlighten digital life below the 5th generation, and a 6% (41%) chance to enlighten advanced digital life.
Unlike the first tier, the second tier requires 2 skill points to level up each skill, and breakthroughs also require 2 specialization points.
The senior engineer glanced at the attribute panel. With so many tasks accumulated, aside from anything else, he had accumulated a lot of skill points and mastery points. Among them, he had 111 mastery points and 359 skill points, which was a rather exaggerated number.
Let alone one skill, ten skills would be enough to level up.
Then there's nothing more to say—
[You have upgraded the Digital Wisdom Bead (Advanced) to level 2]
[You have upgraded the Digital Wisdom Bead (Advanced) to level 3]
[You upgraded the Digital Wisdom Bead (Advanced) to level 9, investing 2 specialization points. This skill has now been upgraded to 'Elite'.]
[You upgraded the Digital Wisdom Bead (Elite) to level 9, investing 2 specialization points, and the skill was upgraded to 'Expert'.]
[You upgraded the Digital Wisdom Bead (Expert) to level 9, investing 5 specialization points. The skill was upgraded to 'Master' and renamed 'Ring of Digital Wisdom'.]
[You have obtained a Master's Certificate, Divine Lands Reputation +2000]
[The second-tier limit has been reached. Do you wish to choose 'Upgrade and Evolve'?]
From the outside, compared to the "Digital Wisdom Bead", the "Digital Wisdom Ring" is no longer just a "bead" in shape, but has become a "bracelet", and it keeps rotating on the wrist. The feeling that the senior engineer has is that there are ten "virtual machines" constantly being created and destroyed in his consciousness.
Furthermore, its skill attributes have also undergone a major change.
Digital Wisdom Ring (Second Order) (Master):
Skill Effect 1 (Enlightenment Ring): The crystallization of primordial digital life, possessing the power of 'top-level wisdom enlightenment'. It has a 46% chance to enlighten digital life below the fifth generation, a 28% chance to enlighten digital life below the tenth generation, and an 8% chance to enlighten super digital life.
Skill Effect Two (Ring of Imprisonment): Creates a random digital lock with a powerful sealing effect on AI, digital life forms, intelligent agents, and personalities. It consumes 1000 information energy points per second. If the lock is not unlocked before the information energy is depleted, the lock will be permanently sealed.
Skill Effect 3 (Ring of Wisdom): Self-liberation is the most important part of life liberation. It can perform the "liberation of life numbers" three times a day, and the target is not limited.
The Liberation of Life Numbers?
The senior engineer raised his eyebrows and casually activated his digital bracelet. The bracelet spun rapidly, and a number on a DNA fragment was adjusted in a place deep within his life, belonging to the double helix structure of his genes. At the same time, an indescribable feeling of comfort surged up.
Your health +200
It can even permanently grant you buffs!?
The senior engineer was shocked and, without saying a word, used both of his remaining shots.
[Your information can be increased by 100]
[Your Intelligence +1]
Wow~ This ability is pretty awesome, it can actually permanently increase attributes!
Although the information is a hidden attribute due to the path taken by the senior engineer and cannot be seen on the NPC panel, the increase in 'health' and 'intelligence' is visible to the naked eye. The creature's health increased from '8227' to '8427', and its intelligence increased from '159' to 160.
More importantly, you can use this "Ring of Wisdom" three times a day. Over time, it adds up to a significant number.
As expected of a bloodline skill exclusive to the "wise man," it's truly outrageous.
However, what the senior engineer was unaware of was that only the so-called first sage, Luca, could achieve this level of the "Ring of the Wise."
Or, how about we upgrade it another level?
[Upgrade/Evolution requires 10 specialization points and meeting two prerequisites.]
[1. The host's main profession has reached level 50 of the second tier.]
[Second, the host itself completes the 'informatization' transformation / the host captures a third-order information life form and reconstructs information.]
Information transformation means that one is a level 60 information life form. The latter is even more exaggerated, a level 90 information life form, which is at the level of a cosmic species. The senior engineer is certain that apart from the planetary host and the Big Data Conceptual Entity, there is no such powerful existence on this planet at all—even if there were, he would not be able to defeat it.
The senior engineer wisely abandoned the idea of obtaining a third-tier skill. Perhaps he could try it when the Cyber Tide is launched, but it's definitely not going to happen now.
After glancing at the panel again, I saw that all the Tier 1 skills, except for the modification plugin type, were at the maximum level and there was no possibility of upgrading them. As for Tier 2 skills, there were only two: Solidified Energy (Tier 2 - Normal) and Human Surfing (Tier 2 - Advanced). The former is to recombine radioactive energy particles and transform them into a melee weapon, while the latter is a hacking skill similar to 'teleportation', which allows one to use the human body as a proxy server to constantly travel between different locations.
But to be honest, both of these skills are somewhat useless.
The former goes without saying. Not to mention that it's unlikely that anyone will get close to him, even if they do get close, he has at least 10 better methods than the "solidified energy weapon". 3000 damage is considerable for ranged weapons, but it's not so good in melee combat, since he hasn't changed to a "Jedi Knight" and doesn't get any bonus to energy damage.
The latter is the same, and even more serious. "Human surfing" is a skill that seamlessly connects with "virtual life". If the senior engineer takes the virtual route, he can achieve remarkable effects such as "full control" and "infinite teleportation" with just this one move.
However, by taking the carbon-based + fusion route, this approach is destined to become a "white elephant." "Human body connection" is limited to those without Electronic Barrier, and there is still the worry of being hacked by super hackers or cyber killers who can find the real body through the "human body network cable."
However, the senior engineer waved his hand and directly maxed out both of them, showing off his arrogance and his unreasonableness.
[You have upgraded 'Solidified Energy' to level 2]
[You have upgraded 'Solidified Energy' to level 3]
...brag
[You have upgraded 'Solidified Energy' to level 10 (max)]
['Solidified Energy' has been upgraded to level 10 (max), entering skill advancement mode. Please select your 'Mastery Skill': Advanced Energy Sword, Exploding Hammer, or White Light Ring.]
The sword is a Jedi-type weapon that pursues advanced energy manipulation skills; the hammer is an explosive weapon that generates "micro nuclear fission" through energy reactions; and the "Ring of White Light" is a shaping weapon that focuses on binding.
[You choose 'Exploding Hammer', and you upgrade this skill to level 2... level 3... level 4... level 10 (max)]
[The 'Exploding Hammer' has been upgraded to level 10 (max) and entered skill advancement mode. Please select your 'Expert Skill': Energy Collector or Small Weather Weapon - Mjolnir]
[You select 'Small Weather Weapon - Mjolnir', and you upgrade this skill to lv2... lv3... lv4... lv10max]
[Your Expert skill has been upgraded to Master level, gaining the Master-level skill 'Small Weather Weapon - Mjolnir (Elite)']
[You have obtained a Master's Certificate]
The senior engineer replicated the same operation on the human surfing skill. Unfortunately, this advanced skill only reached the "Mastery" level before it was blocked. The reason is simple: all the "advances" beyond this skill are related to virtual life and artificial intelligence.
In other words, once a senior engineer doesn't pursue a virtual career path, the potential of this skill has already reached its limit.
This second-tier "Mastery" skill is also quite interesting. It's called "Virtual Life Replication Ritual." Simply put, it's a summoner-type skill. The summoned object is a bit special; it must be a virtual life, and the reference object must also be a virtual life.
Simply put, this skill is like Ctrl+C+V.
Once his skills reached their limit, the senior engineer began to ponder another problem. (He then started to discuss...)
That is, what should he choose for a second-tier profession?
