Selling Goods, Adding Points! Super Rare Necromancy Skill Book!

The attributes of the two skill books quickly appeared before Lin Yi.

First was a skill book shimmering with faint blue light.

[Skill Book: Explosive Arrow]

[Type: Skill Book (Tome)]

[Class: Archer]

[Learnable Level: LV.30]

[Tier: Tier 2]

[Effect: Upon use, grants a 70% chance to learn the skill: Explosive Arrow.]

Lin Yi's eyes lit up.

Archer-class skill books weren't cheap either!

And this was a Tier 2 skill book at that.

Its value was probably several times higher than the Wind Blade skill book he'd gotten from killing the Tiger King earlier!

But Lin Yi also learned something new.

So skill books that let you directly learn higher-tier skills had a probability of success—they weren't guaranteed.

It seemed he could finally understand the struggles of ordinary profession users.

Someone might scrimp and save for years to buy a high-tier skill book.

Only to fail learning it in the end.

That would really shatter their mentality.

Fortunately, Lin Yi would never have that kind of worry.

And besides, he only needed to find and buy beginner skill books.

Lin Yi turned his gaze to the other skill book, its cover black and exuding a deathly aura.

Detailed information quickly surfaced, making Lin Yi's heart race with excitement.

[Skill Book: Summon: Skeleton Soldier]

[Type: Skill Book (Tome)]

[Class: Necromancer Knight, Summoner, Dark Priest (requires Breakthrough Magic Crystal), Mage (requires Breakthrough Magic Crystal)]

[Learnable Level: LV.5]

[Tier: Tier 1]

[Effect: Upon use, grants the skill: Summon: Skeleton Soldier.]

Holy crap, this time his luck was insane!

A Necromancy skill book!

And among the learnable classes, it included Mage!

Necromancy skills were among the rarest of all mage specializations.

Probably second only to the Gravity System.

Necromancy spells combined the highly advantageous traits of summons and soul attacks.

Spells that directly attacked an enemy's soul could sometimes produce ridiculously effective results, allowing the weak to overcome the strong with ease!

Lin Yi chose to use it.

But a cold prompt sounded.

[Learning failed! Your class is not the Primary Class for this skill. To learn it, you need an additional material: Breakthrough Magic Crystal!]

Damn!

Can't learn it!

What the hell is this Breakthrough Magic Crystal?

Lin Yi racked his brain but found no relevant information in his memory.

Still, he had learned about the concepts of Primary Class and Secondary Class.

Simply put, after Blue Star's mutation, the various classes weren't completely parallel lines that never intersected—occasionally, there were connections between them.

Take mage class skills as an example.

The Tier 6 Molten Flame Demon was a skill that both fire-specialized mages and summoners could learn.

But for a Fire Mage, this skill could be learned upon advancing—Fire Mage was the Primary Class for this skill.

A Summoner, on the other hand, would need the corresponding skill book to learn it.

The Summoner was the Secondary Class for this skill.

Besides, the sixth-tier Wind Element skill Swift Wind Flash can also be learned by other classes like Swordsmen, Blademasters, Warriors, and Ninjas.

But from the looks of it now, unlocking skills from a Secondary Class not only requires consuming a Skill Book but also a material called a Breakthrough Magic Crystal.

Oh well, no need to rush.

Even if I learn Necromancy skills now, I don't have enough Skill Points to level them up to high tiers.

I still have Ice Element skills and Mana Shield, that key Passive Skill for survival, waiting to be fed.

If I'm going to invest, I'll prioritize leveling those two first.

Lin Yi pulled a Black Card out of his pocket.

Along with a Business Card.

"Zhang Dafu, Manager of the Treasure Pavilion Jiangcheng Base City Main Store, Contact: XXX..."

Yeah, time to sell the goods, launder the loot, top up, and allocate points in one go!

Half an hour later.

In the VIP reception room of the Jiangcheng Treasure Pavilion.

"Please, have a seat!"

"Hehehe, Brother Lin's visit brings great honor to our humble shop!"

"May I ask what new adventures you've had lately, and if there's anything you'd like to sell?"

Lin Yi sat down on the sofa.

Zhang Dafu served him a cup of fine hot tea, his face creased into a smile like a blooming chrysanthemum.

Potbellied and slick-haired—that was Lin Yi's first impression of Zhang Dafu.

He was the most stereotypical businessman.

Everything for the money.

Wasn't that a kind of purity in its own way?

Lin Yi didn't dislike Zhang Dafu.

And he showed his sincerity on the spot.

He took out four or five rare materials dropped by the Boss Death Knight Ravenardale from his Inventory Space.

These materials had been carefully selected by Lin Yi.

They were all random field drops, impossible to trace back to which specific monster they came from.

That way, no one would get suspicious, and no one could follow the clues to uncover his past.

As Lin Yi laid these rare materials one by one on the table.

He could see Zhang Dafu's plump cheeks twitching slightly.

Clearly, these items were all very rare!

And Lin Yi had done his homework beforehand, roughly knowing the prices of these materials on the Trading House.

"Brother Lin, allow me to call you brother!"

"Are you selling... all of these?"

Lin Yi nodded.

The next moment, Zhang Dafu pulled out a Silver Abacus from who knows where, his pudgy fingers moving with lightning speed and precision, flicking the beads with a sharp clatter.

Lin Yi thought he'd have to wait a while.

But in less than five seconds.

The result came.

"Brother, I can offer you 440,000 Great Xia Coins for these materials, buying them all!"

"And I won't hide it—I can give you a list for each item with the unit price marked. You won't lose out!"

"Ah, 440,000 sounds unlucky. I'll bump it up to 450,000!"

When Lin Yi heard this offer, he was already nodding inwardly.

From his earlier check on the Trading House, the total of all these materials multiplied by their unit prices came to 390,000.

Coming to Zhang Dafu, he'd get an extra 60,000 out of nowhere.

Good enough.

"Deal."

"Also, boss, do you take equipment here?"

Zhang Dafu's face twitched again.

He squinted his eyes, looking at Lin Yi with some surprise.

"Brother, you're...?"

Lin Yi naturally understood what he meant.

And judging by his expression, he was probably testing the waters too.

Maybe if he actually said he had equipment above Silver Grade to sell, the guy really would take the deal.

But Lin Yi wasn't stupid enough to take that risk.

"Don't worry, they're all Silver Grade equipment. I just can't be bothered to go to the Trading House again. I'm seeing if you'll take them or not. If not, I'll find another shop."

Zhang Dafu heard this and quickly answered without hesitation, "We'll take them! We take everything!"

"But brother, if the Silver Grade equipment you're selling isn't high-level, the price I can offer won't be much above market rate. Some might even be at cost. After all, the officials keep a tight lid on this stuff, and their buyback prices are high too!"

Lin Yi nodded. "No problem."

Then Lin Yi took out six pieces of Silver Grade equipment that the boss had dropped and that he'd carefully selected.

Although these pieces were only Silver Grade, their levels generally ranged from Level 40 to Level 60, so Lin Yi pocketed another ten grand.

Just as Zhang Dafu thought today's business was done.

Lin Yi dropped another bombshell.

"Boss, do you sell Breakthrough Magic Crystals here?"
