Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Light Spirit Boots

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Time flew by, and three weeks passed. There were only a few days left until the college entrance examination.

Fortunately, by this point in time, Bai Zhi had reached level 10 with much difficulty.

Her Lady Luck’s Gaze talent had also been upgraded to Level 2.

Although Lin Ye had clearly said that she didn’t need to tell him the specific effects and only needed to silently buff herself, the little loli still determinedly explained the effects of her talent to him.

[Lady Luck’s Gaze: Can be cast on a target, giving the target the special buff, ‘Lady Luck’s gaze’. Each time the dungeon is cleared, the treasure chest reward obtained will be increased by one level. Lasts for 24 hours (can only be used three times per week)]

[Lucky Hand: When a treasure chest is opened, there is a higher chance of obtaining equipment and Skills of the highest quality that can be used by the user.]

It could be said that Bai Zhi’s original “Lady Luck” buff had not changed, but she had gained a new ability, “Lucky Hand”.

The effect of this ability was quite practical.

It was equivalent to playing a card game, lowering the original 180 to 50 rounds. Not only did the Gold rate increase greatly, but the probability of it being crooked also decreased.

But it was a pity.

This “Lucky Hand” was Bai Zhi’s exclusive passive.

1

Other than her, no one else could enjoy the exclusive reward of the great sword series every day.

Lin Ye still couldn’t change his bad luck of farming zero points every day.

However…

It didn’t matter.

This was because Lin Ye was already prepared with his own set of equipment.

Even though the Gale Boots were of the worst quality, he managed to exchange them for a pair of brand new Gold grade running shoes through the sales channel provided by Zhao Qihang. He had also met the requirements to be rated as “high-quality equipment” in the college entrance examination.

…

[Equipment Name: Light Spirit Boots]

[Type: Shoes]

[Current Forging Level: Level 1 (Max Level 10)]

[Quality: Gold [Medium]]

[Equipment Requirement: None]

[Equipment Effect: When equipped, agility +10, movement speed +60%, movement speed reduction effect reduced by 25%]

…

Compared to the Storm Boots, these new boots did not have the “Ghost Steps” evasion effect, but it had an additional 30% movement speed bonus and reduced the speed reduction effect by 25%.

Combined with the Ancient Dragon Necklace’s 30% reduction in speed, it was a total of 55% reduction.

Even if Lin Ye didn’t activate his Universal Reversal talent, he could still barely keep up with an agile player like the Lady of Death who had a frost movement speed reduction Skill.

He wouldn’t have to be pulled by her kite from the beginning to the end and then be teased to the point of doubting his life.

In addition, Gold equipment would give more attribute points than Silver equipment.

The 30% increase in movement speed would increase the user’s evasiveness.

This pair of Gold grade Light Spirit Boots could be said to have completely annihilated the Silver grade Gale Boots.

And so, the veteran equipment that had been with Lin Ye for a long time was transformed into a “dog food” forger stone that nourished other equipment with a clang.

It ended its glorious and short life in an instant.

As for his Skills…

After Lin Ye obtained the Holy Light from the Professional Alliance for free, he fell into the strange cycle of not being able to get any Skill books.

He didn’t see anyone selling Priest Skills on the internet. It seemed that other Priest Class students had bought them all off the shelves.

It wasn’t just the Priest Skill books. Other Classes also had very few Skill books for sale.

Whenever a Skill book appeared on the forum, it would immediately be snatched by the students who were on the forum 24 hours a day. There was no way those items could survive for more than 15 seconds.

It could be said that it made people very deranged.

Originally, Lin Ye wanted to use his fame in school to make an announcement on the forums, saying that he lacked Priest Skills and needed to buy a wave of Priest Skill books from all the students.

He believed that most of the students would want to stay on his good side and sell him stuff.

The priority was to provide the Skill book to himself after all.

However, when Lin Ye saw the quality and effects of the Skill books that the students showed him…

And he chose to give up.

There was no other reason.

These Skills were the same as the Holy Light Skill book.

The price-performance ratio was too low.

Low growth, low HP, high mana consumption, long cooldown, and no special effects. Especially after the Skill reached Level 5, not only would the exp required to level up increase, but the original cooldown time and mana consumption would also increase to varying degrees, which balanced the strength of the Skill.

If Lin Ye learned all the Priest Skills…

Even if he could break through 1,000 intelligence points in the later stages and increase his mana bar, even with Clarity Spell Skill to continuously restore his mana and even equip a few pieces of equipment that increased his mana…

It still couldn’t supply the double amount of mana needed when he used the reverse version of these Skills.

This was especially true when he was fighting multiple Bosses with extremely high health bars.

The shortcomings of having many Skills but not being proficient would be reflected very poorly.

Once one casts all their Skills at once, use up all their mana in one breath, hit the other side’s Hp by half, all what’s left will make you vulnerable and powerless for the rest of the battle.

It was better to just use a few Skills with the highest damage, spend a little more time, control your mana to exhaust the opponent, and leave some space for themselves to kill the Boss.

Not to mention, the leveling efficiency of Skills in the later stages was very slow, and they could only rely on eating a lot of “dog food” to level up.

He also needed some very precious “crown materials” to break through the Skill’s level lock to continue to increase its power.

Which leads to spending more time and resources to raise the few main Skills you have. You wouldn’t have the energy or time to raise those low-cost, trashy Skills.

If they spread their resources they would be stuck at level 10 and 5 for the rest of their lives…

And become an eternal warehouse manager.

At the same time…

There was another important question.

The more Skills a Professional learned, the less natural proficiency points they gained from leveling up and fighting would be evenly distributed to each Skill.

It was equivalent to all-round development, and then all-rounded mediocrity.

And so,

Professionals will sweep away all the “trashy Skills” from the early stages and replace them with special items in the later stages to avoid snatching the proficiency points needed to upgrade the main Skills.

Professionals will also throw away some Skills with high quality but weak abilities or suitable effects.

Basically, as stated above…

The main thing about Skills was quality, not quantity.

If one had the ability to obtain high-quality Skills, there was no need to waste money and energy to learn some low-quality Skills with a better cost-performance ratio. It would occupy a space in the Skill bar for nothing and affect the efficiency of other Skills.

In the Professional’s Skill bar, basically, he would not have more than fifteen Skills.

Unless it was the Super pay-to-win Warrior mentioned earlier.

Skills that were difficult to level up, mana requirements that were high, and crowns that were not enough were not a problem.

Don’t ask!

Asking meant taking out the mana-Hp modifier!

It was difficult to pay for!
