Constantly Learning Basic Skills Again, 35 Cap!

"Okay, but I need a lot of monster grinding spots. I need a massive amount of experience," Gao Linzhi agreed directly.

Since East Wolf Village had already acted unjustly, he wouldn't be blamed for acting unrighteously.

If it were another protagonist, they would probably destroy this village now.

But Gao Linzhi wouldn't kill innocent villagers to vent his emotions.

He would only kill the Great Elder and the Fourth Elder who had wronged him. The Fourth Elder had also shown him some kindness, so he would allow him to die with some dignity.

This was all because he was a good person.

"That's naturally no problem," the leading old man said, overjoyed.

Afterward, the two finalized some matters.

Gao Linzhi smiled as he watched the leading old man leave with satisfaction.

East Wolf Village is unreliable, but is West Wolf Village reliable?

When it comes to people, you can only rely on yourself!

Relying on any force is simply playing with your own life.

He was a transmigrator, having seen too many such lessons in his past and present lives.

Thinking of this, he decided to quickly allocate his stats.

Over the past week, because his noble rank had risen to 8, his monster-slaying experience increased by 100%. He had accumulated a total of 200,000 experience points (100,000 + 100,000).

In an ordinary game, this would be insignificant, but this Skyfall game was realistic.

He chose to log off. His game character also went offline. Allocating stats offline was the safest.

He returned to the cave, closed his eyes, and began allocating stats on the status panel.

Last time, he had allocated points to five basic elemental magic skills. His current status was:

Basic Metal Element, Basic Wood Element at level 100; Basic Water Element, Basic Fire Element at level 45; Basic Earth Element at level 100.

Additionally, he had three magic skills: "Basic Heal, Basic Earth Shield, Basic Fireball."

He directly maxed out all his skills to level 100.

Simple and brutal. This was the advantage of level capping.

Of course, there were also drawbacks: he couldn't obtain skill caps for free, couldn't change classes, and couldn't learn advanced cultivation techniques.

But it didn't matter. Understanding the essence of the game, he knew that all problems depended on whether you spent enough money.

As long as you spent enough money, the game could be customized for you, even providing companionship.

This time, it consumed another 55,000 experience points.

The three basic skills consumed 25,000 points, and the three magic skills consumed 30,000 experience points.

"Your Basic Metal Element has reached level 100. You have learned Sharp Metal Art."

"Your Basic Water Element has reached level 100. You have learned Water Creation Art."

Good, let's max those out too.

This consumed another 20,000 experience points.

He had 125,000 points remaining.

He now had a total of 24 skills, with a skill limit of 25.

Let's check his basic attributes again.

[Player: Gao Linzhi]
[Constitution: 5 (+110)]
[Spirit: 7 (+100)]
[HP: 1150 (Constitution X10)]
[MP: 1070 (Spirit X10)]
[Level: 1]
[Experience: 0/100]
[Talent: The Only Ordinary Player (Unique Dark Gold Quality)]

Not enough, not enough, far from enough!

A single BOSS had 15,000 HP, and he only had 1150. The difference was too great!

He checked his Skyfall Stones. He had 232,500, which was still quite sufficient.

He immediately thought "Shop" and searched for basic physical skills.

After looking around, he discovered that there were still many he hadn't learned.

Basic Saber Technique, Basic Sword Technique, Basic Staff Technique, Basic Whip Technique...

If it were other players, they would definitely be gloating.

This is a ruined playthrough!

According to Gao Linzhi's inquiries over the past few days, each level only grants one skill slot.

Furthermore, skills have subsequent levels: intermediate, advanced, expert, master, and grandmaster.

After leveling up to level 10, one can also change classes and acquire more powerful professional skills.

Learned skills need to be organically combined to provide mutual benefits, achieving the highest cost-effectiveness, and ultimately becoming strong enough.

Learning one skill here and another there, just to add some constitution, results in weaknesses everywhere, no output, no defense, and not even high HP.

This is the most common mistake newbies make: learning this skill because it looks easy, then learning that one because it looks easy too. Without foresight, you can't cultivate a strong character and can only abandon the game and start over.

But Gao Linzhi doesn't care about any of that.

His core advantage is reviving after death and overcoming difficulties.

Naturally, he has to stay at level 1.

As his level increases, the consumption of Skyfall Stones will rise exponentially.

He's guessing this, but it should be about right.

And the exponential increase is infinite; before long, he won't be able to afford it.

Even pouring all the gold from Earth into the game would be consumed.

Thus, Gao Linzhi spent more Skyfall Stones to unlock new skill slots.

He then spent 50,000 Skyfall Stones in one go, unlocking his skill slots to a maximum of 35.

The 26th skill cost 4100 Skyfall Stones, the 27th cost 4300, the 28th cost 4500... up to the 35th costing 5900.

Each additional skill cost 200 more Skyfall Stones.

Fortunately, it's an arithmetic progression; if it were a geometric progression, he truly couldn't afford it.

He currently has 24 skills and can learn 11 more.

The basic physical skills in the shop are also very cheap, costing 100 Skyfall Stones each.

This is much cheaper than the 50,000 Skyfall Stones per spell skill.

No wonder they call them spellcasters.

He directly learned all the basic physical skills in the shop.

Basic Saber Technique, Basic Sword Technique, Basic Staff Technique, Basic Whip Technique, Basic Axe Technique, Basic Hammer Technique, Basic Hunting, Basic Gathering, Basic Horsemanship, Basic Lockpicking, Basic Traps...

Good heavens, these skills seem endless, numbering at least several hundred.

For a moment, he felt like he truly didn't have enough Skyfall Stones.

He directly learned all the physical skills until he reached the limit again.

With this, he now has 35 skills.

He has 10 spell skills.

He has two support skills: Disguise Art and Heavenly Sight, Earthly Hearing, Person-Judging Art (Incomplete).

Now he understands why the latter is incomplete – the Fourth Elder wouldn't give the full version, wouldn't that be exposing himself?

The rest are physical skills, 23 of them.

Maxing them all out would increase his constitution by 230 points!

He currently has 125,000 experience points. After learning 11 more skills, he used 110,000 experience points, leaving him with 15,000 experience points.

Others could never learn like this.

This brings his total constitution to 235 points.

Moreover, even if someone found a skill stone to open up an additional slot, it would be meaningless.

Because there's another game mechanic.

[Normal human constitution cap is 10 points. Ordinary players' bodies are gamified and ignore the cap, calculating bonuses as if they have 11 points. Incomplete players can only calculate bonuses based on the 10-point cap and must further learn external body-tempering techniques to break through the constitution bonus cap.]

His body is data-driven; his constitution can increase by as many points as he has.

Players are still flesh and blood and can only calculate based on 10 points.

After allocating his points, Gao Linzhi stood up to adapt to his new physique.

First, he opened his eyes. In the pitch-black cave, only some faint light emanated from the ores, barely sustaining a small amount of moss.

But now, he could see clearly.
