Chapter 42: The Absurd Skill
Seeing Li Wei pointing towards the room, everyone became stunned.
"Brother, when did that room appear?" Li Xin asked with a puzzled face.
Elva, Alice, and Olivia also looked at him for an explanation.
They were here all the time, and now suddenly, a room appeared without them noticing; they felt something was amiss.
"It appeared silently without alerting anyone," Li Wei made an excuse, not saying what happened.
It's not like he didn't trust them, but knowing too much might harm them, especially if they accidentally told someone; it would be a big problem. He will not tell them until they are official party members.
Li Xin felt puzzled and didn't say anything, accepting the fact with the other girls.
Seeing that they didn't ask any other questions, Li Wei felt relieved. "Let's see what dungeon rewards are there," he said, proceeding inside the room carefully.
• Coin Card: 10 million coins
"What? A ten-million-coin card!" Li Wei exclaimed with wide eyes; what he needed now was money to upgrade his Goddess Edition skills.
'Damn, if I knew that the sage was this rich, I would've reformed his whole family to the holy faction if he gave me more Coin Cards like this,' Li Wei thought with regret and became depressed, but he couldn't do anything because the sage had already disappeared.
All the girls became dumbfounded after seeing the coin card, and they felt puzzled after seeing Li Wei getting excited and becoming depressed.
Li Xin frowned, sensing something amiss, but she didn't ask because he would definitely tell her if there is something.
Li Wei recovered from his depression and looked at the other items on the table. They were all miscellaneous items with some pens and a few notes left by the sage.
He didn't hesitate and took the coin card carefully; it was a very important thing to him.
"Um, there's nothing else here," Li Xin pouted, looking around; she was hoping for more things.
However, Li Wei and Elva both shook their heads at her simultaneously.
"You are wrong, XinXin/Li Xin," they both denied her at once.
Li Xin became dumbfounded seeing their denial together.
Li Wei was surprised and looked at Elva, who also looked at him and hurriedly turned her head toward another direction with a faint blush on her cheeks.
He ignored her and turned toward Li Xin. "The most important thing isn't the coin cards but these books," he said, pointing towards the bookshelf.
"Books?" Li Xin tilted her head with a puzzled expression.
Li Wei nodded. "Yes, the books. They are very important because they hold the knowledge for the special attributes, like 'Medical Knowledge' for the healer class," he explained.
"But what's the use of that?" Li Xin asked tilting her head, because whenever one learns a skill, it provides information, making the knowledge stat useless.
Li Wei knew what she was thinking and explained with details.
"The knowledge attribute is what we need if you want to make your skills stronger and even create your own skills," he said with a serious expression.
The knowledge attribute automatically increases with the skills they learn, and like luck and spirit attributes, it also cannot be increased with attribute points, but it can be increased if one learns it from books.
Li Xin nodded with an understanding expression. "So, has anyone created the skills yet?" she asked with a hopeful expression, wanting to try.
Li Wei became stiff seeing her hopeful expression, not knowing how to reply.
Seeing him like this, Elva sighed. "Only a few heroes and sages are capable of that, but the knowledge can still help you a lot with skill handling, especially their preparation time," she answered.
Li Xin showed a disappointed face after hearing this, she got excited for no reason.
"Ahem, I think we should collect the books here and go back to the camp," Alice intervened, trying to distract them from talking about books and knowledge because she didn't liked to read.
Li Wei nodded, not knowing her reason, and directly stored the nine books for each class.
"Let's return then; we will first eat lunch and decide what to do later," he said, leading them back toward camp.
***
After arriving at the camp, Li Wei once again seated outside the cave.
"Phew, I have to make sure not to provoke XinXin, or I might get beaten up," he murmured, knowing what they were doing inside, but he hurriedly shook his head, calming himself when a notification rang in front of him.
[Ding, the skill knowledge is combined, Congratulations for learning the extra skill: Experience Transfer(Max) (Mastery-0%)]
Li Wei looked at the notification with a nod. "What great timing, and the skill is Max too," he murmured with happiness, but suddenly his expression changed.
"F**k, are you kidding me!" he cursed out loudly.
"Damn sage, did you trick me?" he shouted with anger.
When he learned the skill, he also received the knowledge about how to use it.
"Damn, damn, what do you mean I have to put my hands on their navel to transfer the experience points? Just what the hell is this?" he cursed, wanting to cry with tears, but nothing came out.
–––
•Experience Transfer (Max) (Mastery-0%)
- To use the skill, you must put your hands on the navel (Belly Button) of the receiver, and there must be no clothes in between them or the skill won't work.
- If your level is lower than the receiver, then you cannot transfer the XP.
- Your level must be higher than the receiver to transfer the XP.
- You must put your hands on their navel for a certain time depending on the amount of XP.
- There are Easter Eggs if your relationship is very close.
–––
Seeing the description of the skill, he became depressed. 'What the hell is this skill? Just who the hell invented this, and some hero's party also has a few men in it. Don't tell me they also did this,' he thought with a shiver running down his spine.
"Argh, damn, whoever created this skill must be a demon. Yes, he just wanted to see the people's misery," Li Wei said with an irritated tone.
Inside the adventure guild, Sophia, who was working, sneezed suddenly. "Achoo!"
She frowned with displeasure. "Damn, who is talking bad behind me? You better not let me find out, or you will definitely not end up good," she murmured with a pout and resumed her work again.
She has suppressed her powers to a mortal level; because of that, she was affected by the cursing of someone, and she couldn't do anything because of the world system.
Li Wei sighed, not knowing what to do.
'If I tell XinXin about this, she will definitely kick me with what happened before, and if I don't tell her, she will hold a grudge for not telling her earlier,' he thought with dejected face.
When, a few footsteps sounded, and all girls came out of the cave.
"Brother, what happened? Why the depressed face?" Li Xin asked tilting her head.
Li Wei turned his gaze at the girls who were blushing a little, but they didn't change their outfits to new ones.
He was puzzled but decided not to ask because smart people don't provoke the sleeping tigress.
"Ah, nothing. I was thinking about something else," he said, giving an excuse.
Li Xin didn't say anything and took a seat beside him. The place was under the tree where Li Wei cleaned with his skills, making a good spot in the shade.
Alice, Elva, and Olivia also took the seat close to them.
Li Wei looked at them, saying, "Let me count the coins first, and I will transfer them to you."
"What? Why?" Alice and Elva asked him simultaneously, and Olivia also looked at him with a question.
"Huh," Li Wei felt puzzled at their reactions but understood why they asked.
"You don't have to worry about not clearing the dungeon or helping me. If I was not strong enough, all of your lives will be in danger because of me," he explained to them.
What he said was true; if the dungeon break would've happened on the first day, he would have a hard time facing three of the bosses, and not to mention, they would get injured too.
"But," Elva wanted to say something but was stopped by Li Xin.
"Elva, Alice, Olivia, you don't have to worry about it too much. You can pay back later if you don't want to get it for free," Li Xin said, stopping her from rejecting the coins.
They were also hesitating to take attires that she got from the treasure chest, but she said they can pay back later and forced them to take it.
"But we already took the attire," Alice wanted to say something, but Li Wei interpreted her.
"You have to take it because we need stronger party members, and with money, you can increase your skill levels. It is a must because we can upgrade our skills up to level 30," Li Wei explained and took out the coin cards, ignoring their reactions.
With the first-class quest completed, their upper limit of skills is level 30, and it will be the same for the monsters. He didn't want to waste a chance to make them stronger.
Unlike the attributes that make people go mad, the skills don't have problems because they have a level cap.
[Ding, Congratulations, you have used the following coin cards:
1. Coin Card: 100k = 1 million
2. Coin Card: 100k = 1 million
3. Coin Card: 500k = 5 million
4. Coin Card: 10 million = 100 million]
[Ding, Congratulations, you have gained 107 million coins]
The system notification rang, making Li Wei feel better.
