Divine Identification Skill! All-Knowing Eye!

The moment Lin Yi saw this skill, he felt that it was definitely the cool, flashy kind.

Just like the countless animations he had watched in his previous life.

A swordsman who pursued speed above all else.

He drew his blade and dashed forward, slashing the enemy more than a dozen times before they could even react!

Then he sheathed his sword.

The enemy behind him slowly collapsed.

It was seriously badass.

But why the hell was this kind of skill in a mage's skill set?!

I'm a mage. To use this skill, I'd even have to equip a melee weapon.

A staff could technically count as a melee weapon.

But making me bash someone nearly a hundred times with a staff would be way too weird, wouldn't it?!

Lin Yi examined his new skill as he walked, and he had now arrived at Jiangcheng's city center.

Several of Jiangcheng's most important government departments were located here.

Lin Yi spotted the grandest building, which also had the largest crowd flowing in and out. Five words were written above it: Great Xia Trading House.

Like Great Xia Bank, the Great Xia Trading House was a state-run institution backed by the Great Xia Official.

Its trade network spanned all of Great Xia.

However, Jiangcheng was only a Level 5 Base City. The branch in such a tiny place could not be said to have no connection to headquarters.

It could only be said that it practically had none.

The goods in circulation and their prices were basically regulated by Jiangcheng itself.

Walking through the Trading House's entrance and past the bustling crowd.

Lin Yi arrived at a self-service transaction counter.

By this point in the Cataclysm Era, Various Countries on Blue Star had developed crystal technology to a highly mature level.

The self-service transaction counters in the Trading House were the culmination of that technology.

There was no staff member at any counter, only a blue crystal floating in midair, just like the one Lin Yi had seen during the class-change ceremony.

It was Lin Yi's first time here.

He watched how others operated them and quickly figured out how to use the thing before him.

All he had to do was touch the crystal, and a full-screen display would pop up.

Then he could operate it through the screen.

Whether selling or buying, the small Teleportation Array on the transaction counter could instantly deliver the goods.

Lin Yi found it novel.

Online shopping, instant shipping, delivery on the spot—it really was awesome!

Lin Yi placed all the trash Black Iron equipment dropped by the Tiger King and its cubs in Howling Forest beneath the crystal for scanning.

The crystal quickly gave him an appraisal.

Lin Yi's earlier calculations had been correct. These pieces of equipment could only be sold at the Trading House's nationwide standard recycling price, so they were not worth much.

Fortunately, a single Heavenly Flame Dragon's Breath had still yielded more than a dozen pieces of equipment.

After selling the dozen or so Black Iron items, Lin Yi had gained another ten thousand-plus Great Xia Coins in his account.

Then Lin Yi sold all the materials dropped by the monsters he had farmed while leveling earlier from his Inventory Space.

The most valuable items were still the one or two special materials dropped by the Tiger King.

The crystal appraised them at two or three thousand.

The rest was basically pocket change.

In the end, Lin Yi emptied his backpack, and the balance in his account rose again from a few dozen to over twenty thousand.

That was not enough to buy another twenty-four-hour AFK Skill Points reward.

So Lin Yi decided to see whether he could find any good stuff at the Trading House.

He searched for Mage System Skill Books.

Sure enough, there was not a single one.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Yi quickly understood why.

On one hand, the drop rate for Skill Books in low-level areas was far too low, and Jiangcheng was an extremely remote little city with a limited overall supply of goods.

That also proved just how ridiculously lucky Lin Yi had been to get a Skill Book from killing the Tiger King yesterday.

On the other hand, even if someone got one, many people would not be willing to sell such things through the Trading House.

Just like the Wind Spirit Rock Marrow Lin Yi had obtained—he had ultimately sold it to a shop specializing in buying and selling that kind of item.

Even if other Class Users farmed a Skill Book they could not use, they would definitely want to sell it at a good price.

If he truly wanted to buy Professional Skill Books.

He would still have to make a trip to the Skill Book specialty stores under the Professional Guild.

There were no Mage Lord skills.

Then were there any universal Skill Books?

Lin Yi tapped the Crystal Screen with his finger and activated filter mode.

He removed the Mage class filter.

Then he pressed the search button again.

Rows upon rows of Skill Books soon appeared before him.

[Basic Identification Skill]

[Price: 18,992 Great Xia Coins per book]

Lin Yi scrolled down.

He discovered that there was only one type of universal Skill Book.

Moreover, the books even had information about their creators listed behind them.

It seemed that this type of universal skill did not drop from monsters.

Instead, they were made by Life Professioners from the Enchantment System and Scroll System.

But even the most ordinary Basic Identification Skill Book cost nearly twenty thousand. That was outrageously expensive!

Then how expensive would a Mage Lord's Skill Book be?

Lin Yi felt his teeth ache.

After selling the Wind Spirit Rock Marrow today, he had thought he was at least a rich guy now.

Turns out he had Thought Too Much.

But expensive or not, he still had to buy it.

If the Wind Spirit Rock Marrow had not emitted a jade-green glow in the darkness before, he might have missed such a treasure.

With the Identification Skill, at least he would not fail to recognize a treasure when he saw one.

Especially since this Basic Identification Skill would not remain basic once it was in his hands.

He still had hundreds of thousands of Skill Points to pour into it, ensuring it would not have any childhood at all.

It would immediately advance to a high tier!

Lin Yi gritted his teeth and bought the Identification Skill Book.

The next moment, the phone in his pocket vibrated. Lin Yi did not even need to look.

He knew Great Xia Bank was notifying him that he had become poor again.

At the same time, the Teleportation Array beneath the crystal before him lit up. More than ten seconds later, a plain gray scroll appeared at the center of the array.

Lin Yi picked up the scroll.

He checked its attributes.

That was right. It was an Identification Skill Book.

Without hesitation, he directly chose to learn it.

[Ding! Skill Book: Basic Identification Skill used successfully. You have obtained a new skill: Identification Skill (Basic)!]

Naturally, Lin Yi did not Think Too Much next.

He threw more than a hundred thousand Skill Points into it.

After a string of dings.

Lin Yi received a prompt unlike any he had ever seen before!

[Ding! You consumed 120,000 Skill Points. Your Identification Skill (Grandmaster Level) has advanced. You have obtained a new spell: Identification Skill (Peak Perfection)!]

[Ding! Congratulations! You are the first person on all of Blue Star to upgrade Identification Skill to the Peak Perfection tier. You have received a Unique Reward!]

[Your Identification Skill (Peak Perfection) has transformed into a new skill: All-Knowing Eye!]

Lin Yi was stunned silly.

Holy shit?

There was an operation like this?

He was actually the first person on all of Blue Star to upgrade the Identification Skill to this tier?

In the thousand years since the Cataclysm Era began, not a single person had claimed this Unique Reward first??

Lin Yi had seen so-called Unique Rewards in textbooks.

Simply put, they were similar to an achievement system in games.

Once someone completed an unprecedented achievement, it would trigger a Heavenly Dao Unique Reward!
