Creating a Skill Book
"It failed!"
"It seems that creating skill books is more rigorous than I imagined."
This was Xiao Fan's first failed attempt at skill creation. He realized that creating a skill book and creating a skill for himself might be different.
Just because the skill itself is good doesn't guarantee you'll pass.
Skill books with no attribute or characteristic requirements are indeed very difficult to obtain.
However, Xiao Fan did not want to give up so easily.
"There should be a pattern to creating skill books; as long as you grasp the pattern, you can succeed."
He needs to experiment to find out the pattern.
Xiao Fan opened the creation skill book again and once again chose no attribute and no characteristic requirements.
After thinking for a moment, he edited the skill again and clicked "OK".
Another 5000 kilonuclear Core Power.
Xiao Fan suddenly felt that the price wasn't so reasonable, but fortunately, the skill book could be used to exploit big spenders.
Five minutes later.
"Skill book does not meet system requirements; creation failed."
"Failed again!"
Xiao Fan felt that his description was already perfect and did not exceed the worldview of <Cloud Sea>, so why did it fail?
"What exactly is wrong?!"
Xiao Fan thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, so he could only continue experimenting.
"Skill book does not meet system requirements; creation failed."
"Skill book does not meet system requirements; creation failed."
He tried ten times and spent 50,000 Core Power, but he couldn't create a single skill book.
"Why is this happening?" Xiao Fan scratched his head in frustration.
He has no clue what to do now, and continuing to create would just be a waste of Core Power.
"It would be great if I could learn the skill from the book."
Xiao Fan suddenly thought of the Trading House.
What if players have already created skill books and are selling them?
With that in mind, Xiao Fan opened the Trading House again.
Upon opening it, Xiao Fan was instantly stunned!
The Trading House, which was empty just moments ago, now displays 56 pages of items for sale.
Stone Material, wood, minerals, and even vegetables and fruits they grow themselves.
Xiao Fan had to admit that he was still too young.
The system has just updated the building gameplay, and players are currently enjoying the new features.
These materials are obviously going to sell very well.
Some people really know how to seize business opportunities.
Xiao Fan glanced at the price and could only say it was astronomical, making him want to go chop down trees and take the opportunity to make some Core Power.
The Trading House had different categories, and after Xiao Fan selected skill books, he found that there was indeed one skill book for sale.
A small blue book with tiny yellow text in the lower right corner.
This is a Yellow Rank skill book.
The price is listed as 20,000 Core Power.
"Creating a skill book costs 5,000 Core Power, reselling it for 20,000, and after deducting taxes, you can earn 13,000 Core Power."
"What great business!" Xiao Fan exclaimed.
Normally, Xiao Fan wouldn't even glance at Yellow Rank skill, let alone spend money to buy it.
But now, he chose to buy it without even looking at it.
"Spending money now is for making more money in the future," Xiao Fan comforted himself.
The moment he finished paying, a skill book appeared in front of Xiao Fan.
Meanwhile, in a corner of the game, a male player finally breathed a sigh of relief as he watched his skill book sell.
"Creating a skill requires 5,000 Core Power, extracting a Yellow Rank skill book requires 20,000 Core Power, and the Trading House charges a tax of 2,000 Core Power."
"Damn it, this is garbage gameplay. I lost 7000 Core Power just by playing it, but at least I managed to sell it."
After the update, the player found the skill book gameplay novel and wanted to see what the skill books looked like, so they randomly created a common skill.
After reading it, I felt the skill book was useless, so I listed it on the Trading House.
He was initially worried that he wouldn't be able to sell it, since most players knew about the skill <Cloud Sea>, but he didn't expect that someone would actually buy it.
"I wonder which idiot it was."
Zone 18.
The moment Xiao Fan picked up the skill book, he realized he had made a fatal mistake.
He didn't read the skill book's description.
At the time, the Trading House only had one skill book, and Xiao Fan, fearing that other players would snatch it away, bought it without even looking at it.
But now he realized that this skill book was not the player's original skill at all, but Yellow Rank skill that had been popularized in the Dragon Nation, which Xiao Fan had even learned in high school.
So, he spent 20,000 Core Power only to end up with nothing.
Xiao Fan felt so tired.
Suddenly, I feel like this update wasn't so kind to him either.
Xiao Fan plopped down on the bed, feeling as if all his strength had been drained.
"My painstakingly crafted skill creation failed, while others could easily create a skill and succeed. Why is that? What's wrong with my skill?"
Xiao Fan was completely baffled.
"Etc."
Xiao Fan suddenly thought of something, picked up the skill book again and looked at it carefully, seemingly gaining some insight.
"Try again."
Xiao Fan reopened the skill book editing page, and this time he thought for a long time before starting to write.
"System review in progress, estimated time is five minutes, please wait."
Xiao Fan took a deep breath and waited quietly for the system review to finish.
Five minutes felt like an eternity to Xiao Fan.
Finally, the system notification sounded.
"Congratulations, player! Skill book creation successful. Would you like to retrieve it?"
"It's a success!"
Xiao Fan stood up excitedly.
"Just as I suspected."
Finally relieved, Xiao Fan chose to extract the funds.
"This withdrawal requires 100,000 Core Power. Do you wish to pay?"
Xiao Fan:?????
Damn it!
"So that's why the Creation Skill Book only costs 5000 Core Power!"
"Skinning game, disgusting!"
Xiao Fan chose to pay.
"Sorry, you do not have enough Core Power points; extraction failed."
Xiao Fan:... I want to go cut down a tree.
After checking his balance, Xiao Fan silently messaged Wind Snow Traveler to borrow 1000 Core Power and then paid it back.
As soon as he clicked confirm, the entire room was suddenly filled with a red light, and the intense light instantly engulfed the entire thatched hut.
The fat man living next to Xiao Fan was researching a new way to play when he suddenly felt a red light seeping out from outside the house.
What's going on? Is there a fire?
The fat man ran out of the room without even bothering to put on his shoes.
Following the direction of the red light, he saw that Xiao Fan's thatched hut was now engulfed by the red light, and he immediately screamed in fright.
"Something's happened! Everyone get out here quickly! Something's happened to Brother Chen!"
The fat man shouted as he ran towards Xiao Fan's house.
Zone 18 wasn't very big to begin with, and when they heard the fat man shout, everyone ran towards Xiao Fan's thatched hut.
"Brother Chen, are you alright?"
The fat man walked into the thatched hut and saw Xiao Fan standing there with a bewildered expression, holding something in his hand.
The source of the red light was the object in his hand!
At that moment, Qin Muyu, who was closest, also rushed in. Seeing the situation, she asked what was going on.
"Jiu Chen, what are you holding in your hand?"
Xiao Fan then snapped out of his shock.
At this moment, the red light dissipated, and he held a red skill book in his hand.
"Holy crap, this skill book even has special effects when it's created!"
Xiao Fan finally understood what was going on.
