Learning Skill Books
"We tested the healing method you mentioned to me about Blood Bar Healing today, and the results were surprisingly good. With this method, the survival rate of players injured in the wild will greatly increase. Xiao Fan, on behalf of the players of the Dragon Nation, thank you. If you need anything in the future, the country will do its best to help you."
"The government's efficiency is indeed impressive." Xiao Fan nodded in satisfaction. "With Zhou He's promise, we'll have a backup plan if we encounter any difficult situations in the future."
Xiao Fan replied, "Your Excellency Zhou, there's no need to be so polite. I am also a member of the Dragon Nation."
"Haha, I wish our Dragon Nation had more players like you."
After chatting for a couple more minutes, Zhou He brought up the topic of the Glacier Secret Realm once again.
"Tomorrow we're going to explore the Glacier Secret Realm again. This time, we plan to follow your suggestion and clear out the mobs first to see if they drop any items. However, we haven't yet figured out the freezing threshold you mentioned, and I'm afraid another Warrior will have to sacrifice themselves tomorrow. If only we could create a resurrection skill."
Upon hearing Zhou He mention resurrection skills, Xiao Fan's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "Your Excellency Zhou, do you know how to create a resurrection skill?"
"I don't know. We speculate that this resurrection skill requires certain conditions to trigger, and the government is currently researching it. If you want to know, I'll let you know when I have any news."
Xiao Fan immediately replied, "Thank you, Lord Zhou."
It's always faster for the government to conduct research than for him to find it himself.
Remembering the <Soul Suppressor> skill book, Xiao Fan asked again, "Lord Zhou, are there any players in your raiding party tomorrow who use musical instruments as weapons?"
Musical instruments used as weapons?
Inside the Shenzhou Gathering Place, Zhou He was filled with questions.
What sane person would use a musical instrument as a weapon? Could that thing kill Fierce Beast?
Because Blue Star doesn't use music as a weapon, no one uses musical instruments as weapons.
Why is Xiao Fan asking this?
Zhou He didn't believe Xiao Fan would ask such a question without reason, so he could only send a message to inquire.
"Xiao Fan, why are you asking this?"
Xiao Fan replied, "Today I created an Earth-Tier Skill book, which is a crowd control removal skill that can deal with the problem of being frozen by monsters."
"Earth-Tier Skill book! You already have one!"
Zhou He suddenly stood up, rubbed his eyes, and almost thought he was seeing things.
The skill book mechanic was only released today. The government spent a lot of time researching it and found that the success rate is extremely low, and the success rate decreases as the skill book level increases.
They spent a whole day trying to create Mystic Rank skill, but only managed a few attempts, let alone Earth-Tier Skill.
Zhou He had always believed that Earth-Tier Skill were rare and it was normal that they couldn't be created. But that night, Xiao Fan said that he had created an Earth-Tier Skill book, which was also the control-breaking skill that he needed right now.
"Hmm, this thing is really hard to create. I only succeeded once out of ten attempts."
Xiao Fan originally said this to get a good price, but it shocked Zhou He once again.
"After ten attempts, I successfully created an Earth-Tier Skill book..."
If this is considered rare, what about the fact that they haven't produced a single Earth-Tier Skill book in a whole day?
After calming down, Zhou He had only one thought.
Buy it! I absolutely have to buy it! I'll buy it no matter the cost!
While knowing the freezing point is important, having the ability to break free from control is safer.
Zhou He thought for a moment and then gave a number.
"Brother Xiao, I'll offer 2 million Core Power. Could you sell me this skill book?"
"2 million!" Xiao Fan's eyes widened in disbelief.
With 2 million Core Power, after deducting the 20% transaction tax that new players in the Novice Village have to pay, that's 1.6 million. Then, subtracting the 105,000 cost of creating the skill, he nets 1,495,000 from each skill book!
Xiao Fan's face turned bright red with excitement!
That's real wealth! Cutting down trees only brings in a pittance.
After calming down for a moment, Xiao Fan suddenly remembered a cruel reality.
The skill "Soul Suppressor" can only be used by players who use musical instruments.
He's not a dishonest businessman; he wouldn't betray his conscience to make money off Zhou He.
"Your Excellency Zhou, to be honest, this skill can only be used by players who use musical instruments as weapons; there are no other requirements," Xiao Fan stated honestly.
After seeing the message from Xiao Fan, Zhou He remained silent for a long time.
Logically speaking, Xiao Fan's skill book only has weapon usage requirements, so it can be considered a top-tier skill book. However, the weapon in question is a musical instrument.
What's the difference between this and putting gold trim on a latrine?
Xiao Fan's heart was pounding; that was two million! He would really be heartbroken if he couldn't have it.
Zhou He was also torn, whether to give up or...
At this moment, Jian Qingfeng pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing Zhou He's expression, he asked what had happened.
Zhou He told him about Xiao Fan's skill book.
To everyone's surprise, Jian Qingfeng produced a flute from somewhere. "A musical instrument? I have one."
Zhou He:...
Jian Qingfeng is still too authoritative.
The prestige of this number one powerhouse in the Dragon Nation is still rising.
"Haha, hurry up and buy the skill book."
Jian Qingfeng was clearly very happy.
He loved playing the flute since he was a child. When he was bored in the world of the Cloud Sea, he created a flute and would play it to relieve his mood.
I never expected it would come in handy at this time.
"OK."
Zhou He was about to send a message to Xiao Fan when he suddenly remembered something and stopped.
"What's wrong?" Jian Qingfeng asked.
"You get one chance to create a skill every five levels in <Cloud Sea>. If I remember correctly, you've used up all your skill creation chances. Can you still learn a skill book?"
This question stumped Jian Qingfeng.
A fundamental principle in gaming is that you have as many skills as you have the number of opportunities to create them.
Since Jian Qingfeng currently has no opportunity to create skills, can he still learn skill books?
"Let's buy it and try it out, it's not that expensive anyway."
"Okay." Zhou He responded and sent a message to Xiao Fan.
Seeing that Zhou He was willing to buy the skill book, Xiao Fan finally felt relieved.
To prevent others from snatching the skill books, the two agreed on a time when one would put them up for sale and the other would keep enough for their own use.
Five minutes later.
Xiao Fan's fingers trembled with excitement as he looked at the 1.8 million additional Core Power in his character information.
This was the largest amount of Core Power he had ever seen in the game.
More importantly, he now has another way to make money and upgrade his skills.
I'm one step closer to becoming stronger!
This is the Shenzhou Gathering Place.
After Jian Qingfeng bought the skill book, he opened the game interface.
Open the Creation Skill Book and learn the skills.
A border for a skill book appeared on the screen, and Jian Qingfeng placed the skill book in his hand on it.
"Do you want to learn the Earth-Tier Skill <Soul Suppressor>?"
"Yes."
"Your skill usage count is 0.1: Replace already owned skill 2: Abandon learning the skill book."
"Skill books cannot increase a player's skill usage, but they can replace previously owned skills."
"1"
Please select the skill you wish to replace.
Jian Qingfeng thought for a moment and replaced a skill he had created in the early stages of the game, which he no longer used much.
"Replacement successful. Congratulations to the player for acquiring the skill <Soul Suppressor>."
