Chapter 094: Picking and choosing the upper limit of skills

"You kid, you really gave me a big surprise. I want all these things!"

"You want them all?" Xu Kun was stunned.

Qian Manlou smiled lightly and said, "What, can't you do that? Are you looking down on the financial strength of my Wanbao Tower?"

Xu Kun immediately waved his hand and said: "Whatever Brother Qian said, of course I will not doubt the financial resources of Wanbao Tower. These ores, metals, etc. are of different types. Brother Qian, you can take some that the market needs. It’s easy to sell, you don’t have to take it all just to take care of your brother!”

Not to mention spiritual stones, this kind of thing made from the energy of Haotian Tower will make people rush for it no matter where it is used!

But ores are different from metals. Not everyone can use this raw material for making equipment. People who really need it will look for it everywhere, and the price will naturally be high!

If no one needs them right now, these things probably won’t fetch a high price!

Xu Kun thought that Qian Manlou was just to take care of him, so he accepted them all without even looking at the category!

Unexpectedly, when Qian Manlou heard this, he laughed: "Boy, you underestimate my Wanbaolou's sales ability!"

"With these precious ores and precious metals, after I buy them, as long as I run them a little bit, I can naturally sell them for a high price!"

"What's more, brother, I am being entrusted by someone to visit these high-grade ores and metals, so you don't have to worry about me suffering a loss!"

With that said, Qian Manlou took out a piece of paper and handed it to Xu Kun to read.

"This is..." Xu Kun took the paper handed over by Qian Manlou doubtfully.

Qian Manlou explained: "This is a list of materials that a big boss needs to build an SS-level artifact-level equipment!"

Xu Kun was startled and immediately looked at the paper and found that there were thousands of materials required on it!

"Gudu, what kind of SS-level artifact is this? It actually requires so much precious metal!"

Qian Manlou replied: "An SS-level artifact worn by a king-level powerhouse!"

Xu Kun's hand shook, and then he heard Qian Manlou continue: "This is only a small part of the materials he needs to build this artifact!"

Xu Kun was speechless for a while, returned the paper to Qian Manlou, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that my vision has been narrowed. This is just a very scary astronomical figure for the materials required for an SS-level artifact!"

Qian Manlou nodded and said: "I'm not afraid to tell you that the owner who wants to build this artifact is a saint-level powerhouse in his sixties. If it weren't for the fact that a saint-level SS-level artifact requires too many materials, it would be If he can't bear it, he won't settle for anything less than creating a king-level artifact!"

"It is also an SS-level artifact. The requirements for making a high-level SS-level artifact of the King's level are not as good as the requirements for making a low-level holy-level SS-level artifact. When you level up in the future, you will naturally understand. !”

"I feel reassured by Brother Qian's words. I also thought that if Brother Qian collected all these materials from me at once, he wouldn't be able to sell them at a high price!"

"Haha, don't worry. Wanbaolou never lacks sellers of good materials. I can collect as much as you can sell!"

"Brother Qian, please help me calculate the prices of these materials!"

These precious materials are of little use to Xu Kun at present. They will just eat dust in his backpack.

Qian Manlou nodded, quickly calculated the value of these things, and said: "In terms of human currency alone, the total price of these things of yours has exceeded 20 billion, but you are not short of money now, tell me Brother Qian, whatever you want, equipment or skills, I can exchange them for you at the price!"

"But my suggestion is to exchange for some practical skills. With your current level, even if you exchange for some S-level upgradeable equipment, you can only use it to the warrior level at most, which is not cost-effective!"

Exchange skills...

Xu Kun couldn't help but look at his many skills. He had all kinds of skills.

There was a lot of money in front of him, but he didn't consider Xu Kun's thoughts. With a click of his finger, a list appeared.

Then he explained: "The price of B-level skills generally fluctuates around one million, while A-level skills are more expensive, with prices ranging from tens of millions to hundreds of millions. S-level skills are already rare. It costs hundreds of millions casually. As for SS-level skills, Wanbao Tower doesn’t have any inventory, so you should take a look first..."

No matter what it is, the highest level on the market is usually capped at SS level!

Whether it’s equipment, skills, or various materials!

SS-level things can be called god-level things. SSS-level things are top treasures, and they are things that cannot be obtained!

Xu Kun just glanced at the B-level skills. Compared with his most practical [Charge], the universal B-level skills were of little use!

A-level skills, the base price on this list is 50 million, Xu Kunzai picked carefully, and finally picked a good A-level skill for himself!

[Fire Chain Slash]

Grade: A grade

The fire single-target status skill adds fire attribute attacks to the next three attacks and strengthens the damage. The three attack enhancements are: fire attribute attack*120%, fire attribute attack*150%, and fire attribute attack*200%!

Energy consumption: 100

Cooling time: 120S

Picking and choosing, I have to say that even if you are the owner of Wanbao Tower with a lot of money, you don’t have many good skills in stock. Although the price of tens of millions is high, it is still affordable for some people who pursue powerful skills. !

In the A-level category, except for [Fire Chain Slash], all other skills are unsatisfactory.

Qian Manlou seemed to have read Xu Kun's thoughts and said with a smile: "A-level skills are the most popular skills. I also just collected this [Fire Chain Slash]. You can't look down on the others." It doesn’t matter, you can take a look at the S-level skills. There are still many good ones among these S-level skills. Because of the high price, even if some people take a fancy to them, they are not willing to buy them!”

Listen to this, the price of this book is only 50 million, but the A-level skills with good bonuses were specially brought out by Qian Manlou. It seems that this price is also a big discount!

Xu Kun was about to choose when he heard Qian Manlou say quietly: "But you have to think more carefully when choosing skills. Otherwise, when your skill slots are limited in the future and you need to give up the skills you bought at a high price, you will lose more than you gain!"

Xu Kun was startled: "Brother Qian, what do you mean by this?"

Qian Manlou was startled: "You don't know?"

Xu Kun said awkwardly: "Brother Qian, you think too highly of me. I'm only...second level!"

Qian Manlou patted his head: "Look at my brain, I almost forgot your current level!"

"Then let me tell you, boy, that starting from the completion of the novice trial, every tenth level is a hurdle. After the tenth level, the profession will advance for the second time, and everything in the skill section will change. Let's just talk about it. The problem with skill slots is that the number of skills at each level is limited!”

"The skills that a person can master are divided according to their levels: no more than three at SSS level, no more than five at SS level, no more than ten at S level, skills at A level and below, each level No more than fifteen, and the maximum number of skills a person can master from SSS to F is no more than 108!"

"Of course, that being said, how can one person master so many skills? Let's not talk about anything else. Let's just talk about SSS skills. If a person can master one in a lifetime, it is already very good. The limit of three is true. It’s a bit redundant!”

For example, Ao Guang, the joke of the Ten Thousand Clan, was able to be won over by the Dragon Clan after being abandoned by the Jiao Clan precisely because he had mastered an SSS-level skill!

"As for those low-level skills, it doesn't matter. I mention this to remind you that high-level skills may be more difficult for you to acquire, but ordinary A-level skills, with your current It’s not difficult to stock up on all the ways to make money, so when choosing, you need to think more carefully, and don’t waste your skill slots and give up the skills you finally acquired!”

Xu Kun frowned.

Is there a limit to three SSS-level skills?

Are you kidding me? I already have two SSS-level skills!

Then won’t you only be able to get one in the future?

He has personally experienced the power of SSS-level skills. He likes [Eternal Spark] and [Forbidden Surge of Wind]. If he gets more SSS-level skills in the future, he will not give up any of them. So willing!

"Brother Qian, can't the number of skill slots be increased?"

Qian Manlou blinked, then shook his head and said: "This is the rule of Haotian Tower. The upper limit of skills a person can carry is 108, even the Lords of the Ages of our human race are no exception!"

"but……"

Noticing Xu Kun's disappointed look, Qian Manlou seemed to have thought of something.

"But what?"

"However, although the number of skill slots is limited to this range, there is another way to change this restriction!"

"Brother Qian, please tell me carefully!" Xu Kun said urgently.

With the way he acquires skills by killing racial monsters in the [Illustrated Book of All Races], he will only have more and more skills in the future. This kind of restriction will definitely weaken him greatly!

"There is a prop called a skill slot upgrade scroll!" Qian Manlou replied.

"Skill slot...upgrade scroll." Xu Kun repeated, and then asked: "From this literal meaning, it means that the skill slot of low-level skills can be upgraded to the skill slot of high-level skills?"

Qian Manlou nodded: "Smart, that's exactly what it is for. Low-level skills are easy to obtain, but in terms of practicality, they are definitely not as good as high-level skills. So if there is a skill slot upgrade scroll, it will be very useful." You can upgrade the skill slots of some low-level skills to high-level skills so that you can have more high-level skills!”

"However, the price of such scrolls is not low. Even the price of a scroll to upgrade an F-level skill slot to an E-level skill slot costs hundreds of thousands!"

"What about upgrading the SS-level skill slot to SSS level?" Xu Kun asked.

Qian Manlou opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer for a while.

After giving Xu Kun a thoughtful look, he said bluntly: "To be honest, since I have been running Wanbao Tower, I have never seen a scroll that upgrades the SS-level skill slot to an SSS-level skill slot, so in terms of price, I can't give it to you. Answer!"

But I was thinking in my heart, does this kid have more than one SSS-level skill at this stage?

"Okay..." Xu Kun was a little disappointed.

"Okay, where are you now? There are so many skills that consume skill slots!"

"Take a look at these S-level skills. Do you like any of them?" Qian Manlou brought the topic back on track.

The price of S-level skills is at least several hundred million, and none of the S-level skills on Qian Manlou's list is less than one billion!

Xu Kun couldn't help wondering if Qian Manlou knew that he was a wealthy man and deliberately used these expensive skills to lure him!

"Out of nothing..." Xu Kun took the lead in looking at a skill with a price tag of 3 billion.

[Out of nothing]

Rank: S-level

Effect: Can release the previous skill repeatedly without consumption, and the previous skill level does not exceed SS-level

Consumption: None

Cooling time: 10 minutes

"This skill is a good cost-effective skill among S-level, especially for some trialists who have mastered SS-level skills. The existence of this skill is equivalent to giving SS-level skills a chance to release the second stage!" Qian Manlou explained: "Don't look at the high price. Just being able to repeatedly release an SS-level skill is worth the price!"

Xu Kun nodded. The value of this skill lies mainly in its upper limit skill level. If used well, it is equivalent to having an extra SS-level skill!

And the price of an SS-level skill... can be said to be out of stock. In the list that Qian Manlou took out, there is only one SS-level skill!

"I want this skill!"

Now Xu Kun is rich and powerful, so he doesn't need to hesitate too much when seeing such a practical skill.

Although he doesn't have an SS-level skill, it is a good way to use it to repeatedly release S-level skills!

To maximize the efficiency of the skill [Out of Nothing], you need to master a powerful SS-level skill and release it twice. Not only can it achieve unexpected results, but the destructive power of two SS-level skills is also extremely terrifying!

In addition to [Out of Nothing], there are two S-level skills that Xu Kun has taken a fancy to.

[Fighting Star Shift]

Rank: S-level

Effect: Rebound all damage and effects of the opponent's S-level skills once

Stamina consumption: 500

Cooling time: 10 minutes

Ask, 2.5 billion!

It makes Xu Kun doubt his life. Whenever he spends money, it is always billions!

However, compared with [Out of Nothing], the rebound skill level of [Fighting Star Shift] has been reduced by one level, but if used well, it can still achieve unexpected results!

[Heart Fire Maze]

Rank: S-rank

Effect: Release the heart fire, evoke the fear of the hostile target within the range (50*50), and fall into the blind fear state for 10S. This effect will be interrupted when being damaged

Note: Control-release skills below S-rank cannot release the control of this skill

Stamina consumption: 200

Cooling time: 3 minutes

Price, 2 billion!

A group range control skill that can control the target for a full ten seconds without causing damage!

Whether it is used for group battles on the battlefield or for escape after release, it is an extremely practical skill!

The S-rank, in addition to the longer control time, is mainly because others want to release the control, and they also need control-release skills of the same level or above to do so, which is the effect that matches its rank!

The above skills are all skills that Xu Kun bought for himself!

After selecting a circle, Xu Kun also saw a few good skills, but they were not very useful for him.

[Indestructible Body]

Rank: S-rank

Effect: Reduces 50% of damage within 30 seconds after use

Stamina consumption: 200

Cooling time: 5 minutes

A damage-free skill that conflicts with his own [Rock Barrier] talent. The asking price is 3 billion. Xu Kun bought it and planned to give it to his good friend Hao Jian!

[Heart Protection Technique]

Rank: S-rank

Effect: Converts one's own strength into a life shield of the same value, which can be turned off at any time

Stamina consumption: 200

Cooling time: 2 minutes

The asking price is 1.8 billion. This skill is quite practical, but it does not benefit Xu Kun much. His own strength is limited. Instead of using it to open the shield, it is better to use it to release skills and turn himself into a skill turret!

However, this skill reminded him of Yang Yao's SSS-level talent Yaochi Power, which has a bonus of 256% for all five basic attributes!

With such a bonus, Yang Yao's strength value is not low, so it is just right to buy this skill for her to use!

Xu Kun would never feel bad if he could use money to increase his partner's combat power and survival ability!

"Why, are these the only S-level skills you like?"

Seeing Xu Kun pick several skills and then stop moving, Qian Manlou asked with a smile.

Not really, among the remaining S-level skills, Xu Kun still liked two skills, but they were not for him to use, so he was still hesitating whether to buy them.

[Light Recovery]

Rank: S-level

Effect: Instantly restores the HP of the light attribute attack * 100%

Stamina consumption: 100

Cooling time: 30S

The light recovery skill that is used every 30 seconds can be said to be extremely practical!

But because light attribute trialers are extremely rare, the price of this skill is only 1.2 billion, which can be called the lowest price among S-level skills!

[Ultimate Flash]

Rank: S-level

Light Shock: Causes a straight line (5000 yards) of light attribute damage to all targets (magic attack + light attribute attack) * 120%

Light Explosion: All targets that die under the light shock will transform into light bombs, causing 50% light attribute damage to the surrounding 50 yards

Light Mark: All targets damaged by the Ultimate Flash will be marked, revealing their positions within two minutes, and unable to perform stealth and other operations

Stamina Consumption: 500

Cooling time: 30 minutes

An extremely strong light-based group attack skill with three stages of effect!
