Qin Ran filtered through his skills based on optimal attribute growth and combat ability.
Among them, [Dawn Knight Body-Tempering Art] was the first to be placed on the list.
Next came a choice between [Hand-to-Hand Combat] and [Cold Weapons. Dagger], along with the four skills [Gunpowder Weapons. Light Firearms], [Dodge], [Stealth], and [Tracking].
Last was [Besika Leg-Kicking Art], which was restricted by [Dawn Knight Body-Tempering Art].
Qin Ran regarded [Dawn Knight Body-Tempering Art] as his core skill. Since he had the opportunity to improve it, he naturally had to do so.
[Hand-to-Hand Combat] and [Cold Weapons. Dagger] both benefited from Strength, Agility, and Constitution, their attributes stacking with each other. Which one he chose to upgrade depended on whether he could buy gauntlets or a dagger.
Qin Ran leaned more toward [Cold Weapons. Dagger], because it cost 1,000 Points less than [Hand-to-Hand Combat].
Calculated this way, even if he ultimately chose the more expensive [Hand-to-Hand Combat], Qin Ran would only need to spend 25,500 Points, 14 Skill Points, and 1 Gold Skill Point.
After selling the [Gems], Qin Ran had 30,200 Points, 14 Skill Points, and 1 Gold Skill Point, making it a perfectly suitable choice.
He would even have quite a few Points left over.
Enough to give him greater options when choosing weapons.
After all, aside from gauntlets or dagger-type weapons, Qin Ran's stock of grenades had been completely depleted.
He needed to replenish his grenades!
After using them to perfect effect several times, Qin Ran had become exceptionally fond of grenades, these outrageously expensive one-use consumables.
Even in an era that restricted Gunpowder Weapons, they remained remarkably powerful.
Of course, he also needed to raise [Gunpowder Weapons. Explosives] and [Lockpicking] from Basic to at least Beginner, or even Proficient.
"I lack Skill Points!"
