Chapter 008 Newbie Dungeon! (Ch 008)

[Ding! You have consumed 2000 evolution points, and the silver-level skill point scroll has been upgraded successfully. The current grade is gold! ]

After consuming another 3,500 evolution points, the original black iron level skill point scroll had reached the gold level.

[Skill Point Scroll]

[Grade: Gold]

[Attributes: After use, it can increase your own skill points by 150. ]

“150 skill points are worth at least 1.5 million Great Xia coins, but unfortunately this gold-level skill point scroll cannot be sold.

Otherwise, if I sell it, I can buy 15 ordinary skill point scrolls, evolve it, and sell it. This is a very profitable business!” Ye Chen thought happily.

Unfortunately, the system does not give him the opportunity to make money, and all the evolution points can only be used to improve himself.

“Shua——”

Ye Chen’s mind moved, and the gold-level skill point scroll turned into a stream of light and sank into his forehead.

[Log: The gold-level skill point scroll was used successfully, and 150 skill points were obtained! ]

After using the gold-level skill point scroll, Ye Chen glanced at the system panel.

He discovered that the remaining evolution points were just enough to evolve an ordinary skill point scroll into a gold level one, so he struck while the iron was hot and evolved it again.

[Log: The gold-level skill point scroll was used successfully, and 150 skill points were obtained! ]

“I worked hard for more than 22 hours to save up evolution points, but I didn’t expect that they would be used up in just a few clicks. It’s really unsatisfying.”

Ye Chen looked at the few remaining evolution points and felt a little unsatisfied.

Then, Ye Chen began to think about how to allocate these 300 skill points.

“Let’s prioritize upgrading Soul-Breaking Arrow and Powerful Arrow with these 300 skill points!” Ye Chen made the decision quickly.

Although the armor-piercing arrow’s percentage of ignoring physical defense is very powerful.

However, the physical defense of monsters in the early stage is too low, and increasing the level of armor-piercing arrows has a low cost-effectiveness.

[Log: You have consumed 10 skill points, and the level of Soul-Breaking Arrow has been increased. The current level is: Level 2! ]

[Log: You have consumed 50 skill points, and the level of Soul-Breaking Arrow has been increased. The current level is: Level 3! ]

[Log: You have consumed 100 skill points, and the level of Soul-Breaking Arrow has been increased. The current level is: Level 4! ]

[lv4 Soul-breaking Arrow (Star Level): Active skill, shoots a powerful arrow, causing damage to the target equal to 350→440% of physical attack power, consumes 5→4 mana, and has a cooldown of 2→1.5 seconds.]

“440% damage bonus, which is a full 90% increase. This damage bonus is already higher than the damage bonus of most full-level gold-level skills!”

Ye Chen couldn’t help but sigh in admiration when looking at the skill damage of the Soul-Breaking Arrow. It is worthy of being a star-level skill, and the growth coefficient is high!

Most SSS-level professionals only obtain gold-level professional-specific skills during the novice professional stage.

Only a very small number of SSS-level professionals can obtain diamond-level professional exclusive skills.

As for the skills in the general skill position, the highest level at the novice professional stage is bronze level, which is completely incomparable to the star level.

For skills at diamond level and below, their levels cannot be upgraded any further after reaching level 10, which is the so-called maximum level.

The upper limit of skill level for Star, Silver Moon and Shining Sun levels is 20. It can be said that once you step into the Star level, it will be a qualitative improvement.

The damage bonus of the lv4 Star-level Soul-breaking Arrow is comparable to most full-level gold-level skills.

Ye Chen is very much looking forward to seeing how powerful the Soul-Breaking Arrow will evolve into in the future!

“I have 140 skill points left. I can only upgrade the Power Arrow to level 3 for now. I will continue upgrading after I save up some evolution points!”

Ye Chen continued to upgrade the level of the powerful arrow without hesitation.

[Log: You have consumed 10 skill points, and the level of your powerful arrow has been increased. The current level is: Level 2! ]

[Log: You have consumed 50 skill points, and your powerful arrow level has been upgraded. Current level: Level 3! ]

[LV3 Powerful Arrow (Star Level): Passive skill, increases own critical hit rate by 30→36%, critical hit damage by 80→90%. 】

“The critical hit rate and critical hit damage have been increased by another 6% and 10%, so it is basically possible to trigger a critical hit every three arrows!”

Ye Chen nodded slightly, quite satisfied with the effect of the powerful arrow skill.

“Next, we can go and refresh the novice copy!” Ye Chen stood up from the sofa and prepared to go to the novice copy in the east of the city.

Novice dungeons are a type of infrastructure that every city has.

The reason why it is called infrastructure is that all novice copies are man-made copies.

Novice professionals below level 10 can enter to give them preliminary leveling and practical training.

The advantage of artificial copies is that you can set your own rules, such as setting near-death protection rules.

Once a novice professional in the novice copy suffers fatal injuries, he will be teleported out immediately to ensure the safety of the novice professional’s life.

For those natural copies, there are generally no near-death protection rules. Once you die in the copy, you are really dead.

However, since they are artificial copies, maintaining them requires a lot of resources.

Therefore, it is usually only open for about a month after the awakening ceremony each year, and a considerable fee must be paid each time you enter.

However, it should be taken into consideration that some novice professionals have difficult family situations.

Therefore, Jianghai City officials will provide all novice professionals with a chance to enter for free.

If five people form a team, it means they can enter together for free five times.

Generally speaking, as long as there are no accidents, even if they are in a team, 5 times are enough for them to reach level 8 or 9, and it also allows them to accumulate a lot of practical experience.

Therefore, almost all novice professionals will not miss this opportunity to enter the novice copy for free.

For an orphan like Ye Chen, whose parents have both passed away and who lives on his parents’ pension and school scholarship, he would naturally not miss this opportunity to enter the novice copy for free.

…

East of the city, entrance to the novice dungeon.

Ye Chen lived in the west of the city and took the bus and then the subway. When he arrived at the entrance to the novice copy, it was already crowded with people.

There is only this one novice copy in the entire Jianghai City, so almost all novice professionals will come here to level up and practice practical skills.

At this moment, this place is like a huge vegetable market, very lively.

“B-level Berserker leads the team, three people with the required number of times, and professionals above C-level are required!”

“An A-level Holy Word Priest is leading the team. Let’s do some powerful damage and clear the elite difficulty!”

“The Guhe Guild welcomes everyone to join. The guild will arrange for high-level professionals to take you to the wild to level up to level 12. You only need to sign a ten-year contract!”

“Brothers, is there anyone who can take care of my little sister? I’m a D-level nanny, and I have plenty of milk!”

“Is there any big man who can guide me? I’m a D-rank archer with a full set of equipment. I will definitely not be a drag!”

“On elite difficulty, mages are prioritized, archers are not allowed!”

“Galaxy Group sincerely invites you to join. The company will arrange for high-level professionals to take you to the wild to level up to level 15. You need to sign a contract for at least fifteen years!”

“Damn, look at that person, is it Ye Chen?”

“That’s true. Alas, Master Ye Chen has only awakened an F-level archer. I’m afraid he will have to donate his own dungeon times for free before someone is willing to take him to a dungeon!”

“Didn’t they say that Ye Chen became autistic after awakening the F-level archer and went home to lie down? Is he recovering today?”

“It’s no use recovering. I’m an F-rank archer. I can’t survive. I can’t deal damage. No one wants me in a team.”

“God is jealous of talented people! God is jealous of talented people!”
