58 The Difference In The Skills’ Powers

The experts could help the barbarians but the barbarians shouldn’t take things for granted.

Hence, it became a culture to the barbarians.

Whenever an expert has conquered an area for the village, the barbarians would offer a portion of their gains from the area to the expert.

Which was why there were suddenly so many resources in Lu Chen’s house.

He nodded in understanding and didn’t say anything anymore. He didn’t choose to be special and decided to go with the culture.

However, when he looked at the barbarian girls in the room, he said, “Are they helpers you’ve asked to come? Give them some of the items for the work done before they leave.”

As he said, Xiao Wei smiled brightly.

“Thank you Master, I will look after them.”

The barbarian girls didn’t come because Xiao Wei asked them to. It was harsh living in the village and Xiao Wei has always been very hard working.

If possible, she would’ve organized all the items on her own.

However, when the barbarians brought the resources to the house, they have also left their daughters behind. Clearly, they were hoping Lu Chen would take their daughters into his household.

They couldn’t be blamed for doing that. After all, it was normal for the barbarians to starve over the winter.

At the same time, there were always barbarians starved to death every single year. Among them, most were girls who were naturally weaker in body as well as the village’s priority over the males.

But they were after all, daughters to the barbarians. If it was possible, every single one of the barbarians would hope their children could survive.

But the ordinary barbarians were poor and lack food, they simply couldn’t afford to feed another stomach. Hence, it was only normal they wished to have their daughters married to the experts in the village.

The experts were stronger and they could find more resources to feed more mouths. And Lu Chen was definitely an expert in the village. Which was why there were so many girls in his room now.

However, it was a pity that most of the barbarian girls were all muscular in size. As a guy from the 21st century, he couldn’t understand the barbarians’ preferences and thus, he only chose Xiao Wei alone.

On the other hand, Xiao Wei couldn’t get rid of the barbarian girls from the house as she was afraid Lu Chen would be mad if she had done so.

But she also didn’t want them to stay either. Even though she was young, she still know how to fight for attention. Hence, when she heard Lu Chen has no intention to let the girls stay and only wanted to give them some items before they left, she was naturally happy.

Lu Chen didn’t think much about the situation as it was actually a survival issue to the barbarians. It was not something he could solve now.

After he place the Rock Turtle in the courtyard, he was ready to hone his sword skill in the backyard.

Although he couldn’t use the Conqueror’s Haki now and so he didn’t go to hunt, he wouldn’t stop training.

Although the cultivation progress is slow training on my own, it still increases my Master Points. As little as it may be, it’s still something. I mustn’t waste any single second.

As he thought, Lu Chen walked toward the backyard. When he was halfway there, Lu Chen suddenly remembered something and gave Xiao Wei an order.

“Hold up. Pack some of the resources and give them to Uncle Da Zhuang, Wuzu, and chieftain”

Lu Chen wouldn’t give up what he deserved such as the medicinal herbs that he wouldn’t use most of them.

But at the same time, Lu Chen wasn’t an ungrateful brat. Back in the past, Wuzu and Uncle Da Zhuang have helped Lu Chen a lot before.

Lu Chen also said he would repay Uncle Da Zhuang and Wuzu a hundred times for the help they have given him. And now was the time.

“Understood, Master.”

Xiao Wei was obviously reluctant to give out their resources, but since Lu Chen has given the order, she naturally wouldn’t dare to disobey him.

After that, Lu Chen walked to the backyard to train his sword skill.

While he was training, Xiao Wei left to deliver the resources to Uncle Da Zhuang and the rest.

The amount of resources that he gave out garnered the attention of the barbarians again but Lu Chen didn’t care the slightest about their emotions.

While in the backyard, Lu Chen was honing his sword skill but the progress was slow. He could only earn a Mastery Point for every dozen or more swings of swords.

But that didn’t demotivated Lu Chen. He who has his Willpower enhanced was able to bear with the boredom and focus in the repetitive training.

The training lasted until evening.

When the sun sets, Lu Chen left for night patrol duty with his sword. However, because of the Shadow Realm, Lu Chen didn’t go out to hunt, which makes it boring for him.

In the end, Lu Chen ordered the two barbarians to continue patrolling while he trained his sword skill nearby them.

Frankly speaking, it was against the rules. But in the culture of the barbarians, the experts have their special rights in the village.

Just like that, Lu Chen began a life of hunting barbaric beasts during the day and training during the night patrol.

…

Three days gone by.

In the past few nights, there were incidents of Evils entering the totem pillar’s protection. But because they were heavily suppressed by the totem pillar, Lu Chen and the barbarians were able to easily defeat the Evils.

However, although they have defeated the Evils, the ambiance in the village grew tenser as days goes by. It couldn’t be helped as just a few days ago, they have lost contact with the Black Bull Village.

It was gone, destroyed by the Shadow Realm.

Even Lu Chen felt the intensifying pressure overwhelming him.

When the Shadow Realm comes at us, it will definitely be not safe for us to be here anymore. Thankfully, the Royal Court’s assistance will arrive tomorrow. By then, everything will be handled.

In evening, Lu Chen was in his room and heaved a breath of relief when he thought about the arriving help from the Royal Court.

After that, he called up his system page and looked at his Mastery Points.

[Mastery Points: 7020]

That’s right, over 7000 points of Mastery Points.

It was only three days, and in these three days, he didn’t go out at night hunting the Evils.

But although he didn’t go out, there were Evils that kept on coming into the village. Although these Evils were strong, they were suppressed by the totem pillar and that allowed Lu Chen to kill them on his own.

All of this made Lu Chen’s Mastery Points to increase greatly.

While during the day, Lu Chen was also hunting the barbaric beasts.

Whether it was his hunting on the barbaric beasts or killing the Evils that entered the village at night, both awarded Lu Chen with thousands of Mastery Points every day.

Which was why he was able to earn more than 7000 Mastery Points in just three days.

Lu Chen didn’t hesitate when he looked at the Mastery Points he has.

System, level up Blood Barbarian Warrior.

[System Message: Host spent 900 Mastery Points and leveled up Barbarian Blood Warrior to Level 9.]

[System Message: Barbarian Blood Warrior leveled up to Level 9. Constitution +1, Strength +1.]

[System Message: Under the influence of the Barbarian King’s Bloodline, leveling up Barbarian Blood Warrior awards: Vigor +1, Constitution +1.]

Then, Lu Chen has reached level 9 and one more level away from becoming a Level 10 Barbarian Blood Warrior.

By then, he would be able to draw another skill.

However, Lu Chen suddenly hesitated.

He looked at the system page for a long time and couldn’t make up his mind.

He couldn’t be blamed, after all, he only leveled up to draw better skills.

Over the few days, Lu Chen now finally understood the skills better. All of the skills were useful, for example, Critical Strike was able to make an ordinary barbarian an expert in the village. But the greater the skill’s grade, the stronger the skill’s power.

Such as the Gold skills like the Conqueror’s Haki and Barbarian King’s Bloodline that made it possible for Lu Chen to challenge experts stronger than him.

Whereas Ghost Hand allowed Lu Chen to be unafraid of the Evils. One could say, skills of Gold grade and above were able to bring his prowess to a next level.

Bronze skills were ordinary skills, Silver skills make a strong talent, but Gold skills make it possible for the casters to challenge those stronger than them.

This was the gaps between the skill grades. And since he knew the gaps were this big between the skill grades, of course Lu Chen would strive to have all of his skills as Gold skills.

But it was incredibly difficult to get drawn a Gold skill.

If there wasn’t a way for him to reroll the skills drawn to him, Lu Chen wouldn’t hesitate too much as he just has to accept whatever skills given. A Bronze skill was normal, a Silver skill means he was in luck, and a Gold skill means the ancestors were blessing him.

But now, he found a way that he could reroll the skills with the Spirit Orbs exchanged from the Uncommon Items.

With the Spirit Orbs, Lu Chen could reroll any skill he didn’t like drawn to him. If he has enough Spirit Orbs, Lu Chen could definitely change all his skills in the future into Gold skills.

Which was why, he was thinking about earning enough Spirit Orbs before leveling up to Level 10.

However, Lu Chen now only has 5 Spirit Orbs, just enough for him to reroll once.

Other than that, unless he really hit the jackpot, it was almost impossible for him to get a Gold skill from the system.

When he thought of the difference in powers between the different grades of skills, he hesitated.
