Chapter 68 New Skill
Chapter 68 New Skill
"Haha! I did it! Finally!"
Vincent celebrated with teary eyes… During the past two weeks, he seemed like a crazy guy who just wanted to stay in the warehouse or work fervently.
He was seen as someone who only wants to be together with various items like he has some fetish for them.
Nevertheless, he endured all of their strange gazes as he worked hard for this joyous day.
As soon as he read the reward, he couldn't help but feel that he was really a protagonist sent to this world!
"Does it mean I can learn the Mana Drain now?" Vincent muttered to himself as his mind furiously processed all the possibilities that this new feature could give him.
The human-skin book containing the Mana Drain Skill was actually quite mysterious. He tried reading it and he still didn't know how to learn it. It's the same for others.
It's like a riddle so no one even thought that it was a Skill Book until someone could prove it. Even if they used their Appraisal Magic and think that it was a skill book at first, once they tried reading that book, they would just change their mind.
But perhaps, he would be the first one to learn it to this day!
"This system feature is a lot more useful! "
Although Vincent didn't mind if he can only possess high-quality weapons because of his Awakening System, being able to learn some skills is definitely welcomed.
'I now have four features unlocked. The Auto Enhancement, Enhancement Eraser, Inventory, and now a Learn feature… I wonder what other features I can get…'
As Vincent thought of this, he decided to find the Skill Manual within Therese's office.
During the past couple of weeks, they have gotten a lot closer thanks to his impressive Appraisal Skills that could sometimes be superior to her secret ability.
At this time, it felt natural for him to visit the woman in her office from time to time.
Knock! Knock!
"Manager Therese, it's Vincent." He informed the woman behind the door.
"Did you leave the warehouse early today? Come in." Therese was surprised after opening the door for Vincent.
There was a new batch of items that were sent to the warehouse. They were magic tools or weapons that were in bad condition but the Auction House still bought them from various sects or organizations.
This is simply because the Guardian's Auction House has access to the best Magic Craftsman who had graduated from the Kingdom's number 1 Academy. Things that may seem useless to others can still be recycled if it goes to the right hands.
"Yes… I'm done checking up on them… I actually found another item there I'm interested with… Can I purchase it?" Vincent asked.
To be honest, he already grabbed a total of 4 items in the warehouse. They were all Unique Rank items but in a bad condition already. They were things that no one would even purchase at this point so Therese didn't mind giving them to him.
However, Vincent wanted to at least make a little payment as he felt that he was abusing Therese's authority. With the money Yvette gave him as a reward, he was able to purchase those things for 5 to 10 gold coins each.
"Hmmm? Just take it then… As long as it's not Epic or Pseudo-Legendary, it should be a big deal."
"Thank you, Manager… I'm also planning to read the human-skin book today. I think I might discover something today." Vincent then informed her of the main reason he came here.
"That book? Sure! It would be great if we can already decipher it. It's been here for a while now and it's still a mystery."
With that approval, Vincent no longer hesitated as he excitedly grabbed the book from the shelf.
As for Therese, she seemed to be doing some reports on her desk.
Ding!
[ A Skill Manual found. Would you like to learn the Tier 1 Skill: Mana Drain? ]
This notification suddenly appeared as soon as he held the skill book. As expected, his Learn Skill feature is working similarly to the games he was familiar with.
"Yes! Ahh—"
'Crap!'
Vincent suddenly recalled that Therese was just a few steps away from him. Although she seemed to be busy at her desk, she would certainly notice if something happened to him!
Luckily, learning skills don't seem to have any festive effects as he only felt a surge of information in his mind.
Following that, he felt that he had trained the Mana Drain skill for a year and he could execute it so easily!
p
[ Congratulations! You have learned a Skill using the System Feature for the first time. ]
[ The Skill List tab has been upgraded. ]
Vincent wanted to celebrate but he immediately restrained himself since Therese started looking at him.
'Hmm? My Skill List tab?'
Realizing that there have been changes in his Skill List, he immediately checked it by opening his Status Window.
[ Name: Vincent Kayser ]
[ Age: 15 years old ]
[ Mana: 45/500 ]
[ System Skill: Item Enhancement Lv9, Item Ascension Lv1, Advanced Item Appraisal ]
[ System Feature: Auto Enhancement Mode, Enhancement Erasure, Learn Skill, 5-Slot Inventory ]
[ Mana Arts:
Tier 1 Mana Arts List: Mana Gloves ( Perfected ), Surging Palm Strike ( Perfected ), Swift Wave ( Perfected ), Shrouded Steps ( Perfected ), Mana Shield ( Advanced ), Mana Drain ( Beginner ). ]
[ Soul Arts :
1-Star: Aura Manifestation, Soul Boost, Skin Enhancement
2-Star: Soul Sense, Weak Aura Resonance, Muscle Enhancement ]
As soon as he saw his new status window with detailed information, he finally felt that he was really progressing although it was extremely slow.
This is indeed worth a celebration as he planned to buy the most expensive meat for his dinner later today.
"Did you discover something? Hmm… I felt a surge of strong soul force just now… Wait—Are you an Aura Knight?"
Therese suddenly asked as she looked at Vincent curiously. She was previously able to tell that Vincent was just at a Journeyman Stage as Mana Practitioner, however, the sudden burst of soul force just now made her reconsider Vincent's cultivation achievement.
