[Cold Weapons: Heavy Weapons]!
That was Qin Ran's choice.
Raising a basic skill to Transcendent would certainly improve his attributes, and [Cold Weapons: Heavy Weapons] involved three of them: Strength, Agility, and Constitution. The two-handed greatsword [Words of Arrogance] was Qin Ran's primary weapon, so, all else being equal, its associated skill naturally deserved priority.
Simply put, if he had a weapon of the same rank, Qin Ran would certainly consider [Cold Weapons: Polearms] or [Cold Weapons: Bows and Crossbows].
As things stood, there was no need.
However, Qin Ran still had to wait for Lawless's "transfer."
His substantial upgrades to his other skills had nearly exhausted his points and skill points.
After upgrading [Riding] and [Armor Adaptation], Qin Ran had 317,800 points and 30 skill points left.
But after raising six skills-[Cold Weapons: Daggers (Proficient)], [Gunpowder Weapons: Explosives (Proficient)], [Lockpicking (Expert)], [Cold Weapons: Polearms (Expert)], [Cold Weapons: Bows and Crossbows (Master)], and [Medicine: Pharmaceutical Knowledge (Proficient)]-to Peerless, he had only 20,800 points left, and his skill points were completely depleted.
Upgrading [Cold Weapons: Daggers], [Gunpowder Weapons: Explosives], and [Medicine: Pharmaceutical Knowledge] from Proficient → Expert cost 3,000 points and 2 skill points each.
Next, raising the five skills other than [Cold Weapons: Bows and Crossbows] to Master cost 6,000 points and 4 skill points each.
Finally, raising all six skills to Peerless cost 15,000 points and 10 skill points each.
For that final round of Peerless upgrades in particular, he had obtained almost all the necessary skill points by exchanging points.
Qin Ran, who had seemed quite wealthy, had been sent back to square one overnight.
In exchange, however, his strength had increased.
It was an almost comprehensive improvement, giving Qin Ran more ways to deal with unexpected situations instead of floundering.
Still, the sudden disparity left him somewhat
