“Thank you, Your Highness!” Su Yu gratefully accepted the potions box.
According to records from his previous life, the number of players who had enough of the [Root Potion] amongst the billions across all servers worldwide, to upgrade was fewer than 10,000, less than a hundredth of a percent.
He never thought he would get his hands on this miracle potion so easily!
He carefully stowed the potion into his backpack.
But then, something occurred to him, “Your Highness, given how well I’ve done, is there an extra reward?”
If he recalled correctly, the game notification he had just received had mentioned an extra reward marked as “?” in addition to the 4 bottles of [Root Potion]. He had no idea what this reward was supposed to be.
“An extra reward?” Alyssa was taken aback. She hadn’t considered giving Su Yu anything extra.
But her eyes twinkled and a slight smile played at the corners of her mouth.
Alyssa stepped towards Su Yu and stopped mere inches away.
Then, she looked up at Su Yu’s face and said in a soft voice, “Close your eyes.”
“Okay.” Without overthinking, Su Yu complied.
Alyssa closed her eyes too, stood on her toes, reached towards Su Yu’s neck with her arms, and leaned in for a kiss.
At the very moment when their lips were about 8 inches apart, a golden light flashed and a mighty force knocked Su Yu backward.
“Your Highness!!!” Tina’s angry voice echoed from beside the throne. Her golden fury roiled and began to turn black, “Didn’t we agree to put our conflicts on hold and focus on the war? Or were you just joking?”
This was blatant favoritism!
Unfazed, the princess winked at Tina, “Sure, we did agree to ‘put our conflicts on hold’, but since you couldn’t last time, isn’t it fair that I get my turn?”
Tina’s fury momentarily faltered.
At this, the corners of Su Yu’s mouth twitched involuntarily.
Although Tina had flung him using her anger, she had been careful not to harm him.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of hand, he quickly changed the subject,”Let’s focus on the issue at hand! I made some significant findings in Pearl City that can influence the outcome of our war!”
“Oh? What did you find?” Alyssa and Tina stopped their hostile exchange and turned towards Su Yu.
“Pressure removal” style=”margin-right: 5px;””, based on my prediction, could very likely betray us!” Su Yu’s expression turned grave.
Following that, he detailed everything he had observed in Pearl City and the potential fate of the city.
Alyssa and Tina did not interrupt, listening intently to Su Yu’s account.
After listening to Su Yu, Alyssa looked grave,”From what you’ve said, Michelle might indeed join the rebel forces. If she betrays us, it would spell big trouble!”
She turned towards Su Yu, “Nemesis, thank you for sharing this intelligence.”
“You’re welcome. It’s the least I could do,” Su Yu waved his hand dismissively.
“I’ll have a discussion with the ministers and then decide how to act next.”
As she was saying this, Alyssa fetched a scorching scroll from her Space Ring,”Nemesis, as a token of gratitude for bringing back such crucial information, consider this your extra reward.”
“Thank you, Your Highness!” Su Yu took the scroll and inspected its characteristics.
[Fire Magic Proficiency (Beginner)]
Passive skill
Fire spell power +10%
Fire spell critical hit rate +5%
Fire spell range +8%
Proficiency: (0/1000)
Note: Proficiency +1 when strike using a fire spell to a target no less than 10 levels below you.
All the third-tier skills for all classes in [Evolution] are passive skills.
For instance, Mages have 12 third-tier skills, including [Four-series Magic Proficiency], [Four-series Magic Affinity], and [Four-series Magic Resistance].
Moreover, these 12 passive skills all have a “Proficiency” system; casting spells on creatures with approximately the same level increases proficiency.
Proficiency is categorized into four levels: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Master Level.
Beginner improves to Intermediate at 1,000 proficiency points;
Intermediate upgrades to Advanced at 10,000 proficiency points;
Advanced enhances to Master Level at 100,000 proficiency points.
These passive skill scrolls are rare as it is, and each skill requires tons of time to level up, hence players typically favor specializing in one and supplementing it with another. It’s very rare for players to specialize in all four simultaneously.
After acquiring the skill scroll, Su Yu said farewell to the princess and Tina and left the palace.
At the palace gate, he clicked and learned the scroll right away.
The scroll turned to ash in his hand and a warm surge of energy flowed from his fingertips to his brain.
Instantaneously, Su Yu felt a deeper understanding of fire spells.
Moreover, Su Yu also tried to upgrade this spell using [Point Star Hand].
After using [Point Star Hand] on the spell, Su Yu received a game notification: “Ding, spend 10 spiritual energy coins to purchase 1 proficiency point? You can decide exactly how many you want to buy.”
Surprised, Su Yu hadn’t expected that upgrading passive skills with [Point Star Hand] would require purchasing proficiency points.
However, to upgrade from beginner to intermediate only requires 1,000 proficiency points, which is equal to 10,000 spiritual energy coins.
This amount was trivial to Su Yu. He promptly chose to buy.
“Ding, purchase 1,000 proficiency points for 10,000 spiritual energy coins? Confirm purchase?”
“Yes.”
“Ding, successful purchase. Your [Fire Magic Proficiency (Beginner)] has upgraded to [Fire Magic Proficiency (Intermediate)].”
[Fire Magic Proficiency (Intermediate)]
Passive skill
Fire spell power +20%
Fire spell critical hit rate +10%
Fire spell range +16%
Proficiency: (0/10,000)
After the successful upgrade, the attributes of the passive skill doubled!
With determination, Su Yu continued to buy proficiency points.
“Ding, purchase 10,000 proficiency points for 100,000 spiritual energy coins? Confirm purchase?”
“Yes.”
“Ding, successful purchase. Your [Fire Magic Proficiency (Intermediate)] has upgraded to [Fire Magic Proficiency (Advanced)].”
“Ding, purchase 100,000 proficiency points….”
“Ding, successful purchase. Your [Fire Magic Proficiency (Advanced)] has upgraded to [Fire Magic Proficiency (Master Level)].”
“You have upgraded the skill [Fire Magic Proficiency] to its highest level. Would you like to unlock the additional skill [Fire Phoenix Descends]?”
