Eternal Punishment Dragon in Prison

Chapter 56 Washing away expertise points (for further reading)
twitter!

In the forest, the birds are singing crisply.

Erika stood numbly under the shade of a tree with a tired face, performing the dissection operation.

The target is a dire tiger. Although its life level is as high as level 16, its strength is not very good. It is 10-[-] with Dandy, a level [-] knight.

This was naturally caught by Murphy, and then handed over to Erica for work.

According to Murphy's words, Erica's deposit was too small and she needed to go to work to make up for it.

Of course Erica didn't want to go to work, even if this job was about magic research, it would help her grow as a mage.

But working for others is still different from working for yourself.

But Erica looked at the flames blooming from Murphy's dragon claws, and was shamefully scared.

After reaching a deal with Murphy, Murphy used [Teleportation] to take her and Dandy away.

Then just when Erica thought that Murphy would start to act soon, Murphy soon became obsessed with spell research.

Completely ignore Erica's deal.

And threatened Erica.

Only then did Erica realize how unreliable it was to trade with a person of unequal strength.

She regretted it, but at that time she was also desperate.

What would she do if she didn't ask Murphy for help?

So in fact, Erica had no other path to choose from.

"Erica, hurry up, Father needs you to finish today's work quickly, there are still more vicious animals that have not been dissected."

A sweet little girl's voice rang in Erica's ear, it was Ah Er talking.

Since Murphy supplemented the list of spells, he used ritual casting to increase the effective casting level, and cast [dispelling magic] to help Ah Er exorcise Megan Lis's [monster dominator].

So Ah Er didn't need to wait more than ten days, and he had already returned to normal.

And once again assume the job of supervisor.

"Ah Er, can you make your father more lenient, you dragons don't need to sleep, I still need to sleep."

Erica sighed. As a human being, she gets tired easily.

"Erica, I can't help it, this is an order from my father."

Ah Er is kind by nature, looking at Erica with dark circles under her eyes, she couldn't bear it and said, "However, Erica, don't worry, Father is studying an arcane technique similar to the effect of the magic [Rejuvenate Spirit]."

"As long as this spell is invented, you won't feel tired anymore and can keep working."

Erica was about to faint when she heard this.

Working sixteen hours a day is not enough, and he also invented spells to relieve physical fatigue. The dragon named Murphy is simply inappropriate.

Oh, wrong, it's not a dragon.

Even the devil can't think of such a ghost idea.

She forced a smile and said, "Then I hope Lord Murphy can complete the spell as soon as possible."

What else could Erica do, she had to go on the path she chose.

She has persisted for so long, how could she give up so easily?

And can she really give up?
Will the dragon really not hold her accountable?
Erica was deeply suspicious, and she continued, "Where is Dandy, how is Dandy now?"

Yes, Murphy did not return Erica's loyal knight Dandy to her, but took it away for experimentation.

Erica naturally objected, but she was so soft-spoken that she couldn't go against Murphy's will.

And Murphy promised it would be good for Dandy.

His original words were as follows: "You don't want your knights to be so weak that they can't even protect you."

At this point, Erica could only acquiesce.

Of course, she also watched some preliminary experiments and asked about the design concepts of the experiments.

I also don't think Murphy is fooling her.

But Erica was still worried.

Ah Er flew in mid-air, and said confidently: "Dandy is very good, father's transformation skills are still very powerful."

"He transformed me last time. I feel that my strength has become a lot stronger, and I don't feel uncomfortable."

As he spoke, Ah Er's tone slowly dropped.

Because it occurred to her that the original transformation might have come from her brother.

And now, her brother is dead.

That's right, that's what Murphy said. He said that after Megan Lis arrived, he killed so much that even his back was severely injured.

Murphy showed the scar to Ah Er.

Then tell her that this is the price he paid for saving Ah Er.

Otherwise, with his strength, he could easily escape alone.

This made Ah Er very sad.

Although parting between life and death is the norm in dragons, a race with a very high mortality rate, she still feels sad.

Erica didn't understand why Ah Er was feeling sad, but emotions were contagious.

She also thought of losing her position as the earl, and her subordinates were almost wiped out, and she left home to help the black-hearted dragon to work, which made her even more sad.

……

What Murphy was doing at this time was naturally studying how to carry out biological transformation.

The spell seed is definitely needed, and the earl position is definitely to be taken, but don't worry, wait until the strength improves.

Murphy recalled the battle with Megan Liss and realized that his greatest weakness was insufficient will saves.

Even if [Protection from Evil] could temporarily suppress mind control, it would be very bad if the spell was not released in time.

Even if there was a 1% risk, Murphy didn't want to take it.

Once it is controlled, it is really a matter of life and death.

However, the Will save can be increased by increasing the level of the wizard.

Or improve equipment by creating magic items that increase immunity.

The first way Murphy can do it.

Only the second way can't be helped. Murphy has no money or materials, and the way to make magic items is directly cut in half.

But Murphy has decided to take the magic equipment from Erica.

Don't need it yet, so don't worry.

Everything on Erica was his anyway.

Secondly, Murphy still felt that he was not running fast and his strength was too weak.

Decided to transform himself and enhance his strength.

Muscle strength is too difficult to improve, and it will increase as the dragon ages.

Therefore, Murphy intends to start with the bone structure, improve the leverage efficiency of the dragon's bones, and amplify its own strength.

Of course, this is not easy. One is that the body structure of the dragon is already very good, and it is difficult to improve it.

The second is that it is easy to calculate the leverage structure purely through mathematics.

The biological system is complex, and some small changes will cause the overall collapse.

So Murphy decided to dissect different types of creatures first, take the essence and discard the dross, and research the perfect biological structure.

Then permanently change itself through the power of spells, correcting the dragon's growth.

Dandy was Murphy's first subject.

Although the body structure of humans is different from that of giant dragons, it will also help Murphy accumulate some experience.

"Strength is only the most basic. It is best to modify the nervous system, increase the degree of nerve enrichment, and adjust the muscle structure and nerve sites."

"Improve the reaction speed and body flexibility, so that one's own agility can be improved."

"Physique can also be optimized, such as..."

Murphy has great ambitions, not only considering strength and agility, but also physical fitness. If possible, he will even transform his brain to directly improve his intelligence.

Of course, each of these transformation projects is more difficult than the other, and Murphy needs to proceed step by step.

"It's a pity, if the transformation continues according to my idea."

"Two specialties like [Increase Speed] and [Increase Intelligence Ⅴ] will be abolished one day. If it weren't for my ability to wash points, I would feel a little heartache."

The mind is like an endless surreal plane, in which everything is possible, and the ability to wash points naturally exists.

It's just that it's easy to wash points in the game, it's just data adjustment.

Murphy didn't know what the real washing point was in reality.

"Wait, maybe with the magic of the attribute panel, even if I transform myself, the effect of the specialty can go a step further."

"Break through the limits of theory and reach the impossible."

"There's no need for a wash at all."

Murphy suddenly thought of this situation.

The source of the attribute panel is unknown, but one can imagine its power from the fact that it can improve one's level and endow oneself with infinite knowledge.

For example, Murphy has undergone a drastic transformation and adjusted his body shape. It stands to reason that the [Increase Speed] feat should be invalid.

But this specialty is given by the attribute panel, not by Murphy himself.

Does it really fail?
"No, it should be invalid. Otherwise, if someone keeps using attribute absorption on me, my intelligence will be permanently reduced."

"Could it be possible that it's still stuck at 5 points because of the factor of [Increase Intelligence Ⅴ]?"

In the blink of an eye, Murphy denied this idea again, but suddenly he had another bold idea.

"If someone uses [Energy Absorption] on me, my total level will decrease, so can I collect a lot of demon flesh and blood in advance?"

"Then clear the level of the mage and other professions to zero, and after devouring the flesh and blood, raise the level of the mage back."

"And if it's really effective to wash the points of the ability, can I train a speciality that is easy to practice, and crazily amass the specialty points?"

Murphy's thinking began to spread, trying to find bugs in the property panel, like a hacker looking for loopholes in the game.

Or, like a legendary mage, looking for loopholes in the multiverse and developing a legendary spell that can be called a BUG.

"I'm going to try it now."

Murphy decided to practice the power of the mind with all his strength in the near future, and first dig out some psionic powers that have been washed.

As for the total level, it cannot be calculated for all occupations together, which blocks the BUG of stepping on the right foot with the left foot.

How do you know if you don't try it?

……

Two months later, shortly after Murphy's half-year-old birthday, his psion level finally broke through to level 9.

"Your psion level has been raised to level 9."

"Your power points have been increased: 90 → 108."

"You have obtained a fourth-level ability [spiritual innovation]."

"You have obtained a fifth-level ability [Mind Probe]."

For this level breakthrough, Murphy did not dig out all the fifth-level abilities at all, but did his best to obtain the fourth-level ability [Spiritual Innovation].

It was only after he really obtained [Spiritual Innovation] that Murphy understood the principle of the ability.

[Spiritual Innovation] is to wash away the skill level in the mind, and obtain another skill level equivalently by exchanging with a certain great existence.

This great existence is as mysterious as the object of the [Spiritual Prophecy] question.

Either it is the same being, or it is not.

The principle is the same for expertise points, which are all exchanged equivalently through some means.

For manifesters (using the general term for psionic occupations), you can also wash away the excavated powers and choose again.

And the use of [Spiritual Innovation] is extremely expensive, in addition to consuming power points, it also permanently damages the power of the mind.

If you use too much, you will lose the level of psion.

However, Murphy can replace this consumption with experience points.

[Spiritual Innovation] To cleanse the skills and specialties acquired at the current level, you only need to consume 50 experience points. For each level advanced, another 50 experience points will be added.

"You spent 700 experience points to carry out [Spiritual Innovation]."

hum!
In a trance, Murphy's consciousness came to an unknown place as if using [Psychic Prophecy].

There is nothing here but endless light.

Moreover, the color of the light is very weird, and Murphy can't tell what color it is. It seems that it is not in the normal color spectrum, and it is beyond the color.

Maybe even the so-called color is just a perception of Murphy.

Maybe a blind man came here, and it might be colorless.

"What exchange do you want?"

An unknown will connected Murphy's mind.

The words spoken are not some kind of language, but a message that can communicate with all things like telepathy.

"I want to replace [Increase Speed] with [Increase Intelligence VII]."

Murphy responded decisively.

"Do you still need to exchange skills?"

"Of course, 1 point will be washed away from listening, reconnaissance, and search, and 2 points from concentration will be replaced by an improvement in knowledge (soul energy)."

[Spiritual Innovation] can only wash away the skill points that Murphy improved from level 8 to level 9.

Murphy didn't intend to wash away the skill points provided by the attribute panel, because he added them to knowledge (arcana).

Only wash off what he practiced himself, a total of 5 points.

hum!
Ambient light poured into his consciousness, through it into soul and body, using some unknown means.

At the same time, the skill information about listening, reconnaissance, search, and concentration contained in the three is erased and replaced with knowledge (soul energy).

"Your listening has decreased: 15 → 14."

"Your scouting occurrence reduced: 15→14."

"Your [knowledge (soul energy)] has increased: 0 → 6."

In addition, the light also rushed into Murphy's body, pulling out the power representing [increase speed].

The shape of Murphy's body in the outside world began to change instantly.

It is no longer as slender and light as before, very suitable for running and flying.

And the power represented by [increase speed] was transformed into the power of [increase intelligence VII] by the light through some means.

"Your intelligence has increased: 27 → 28."

"Your power points have increased: 108 → 112." [The value of power points is affected by intelligence]

"What's going on? Why are listening and scouting reduced by 1 point?"

Murphy was full of doubts at first, but he did feel that his ability to search and focus was slightly reduced.

He changed his mind and suddenly realized.

The attribute panel and this unknown existence have different perceptions of skill levels.

1到2，98到99，同样都是1点。

But the knowledge contained in it is absolutely different from the degree of difficulty of ascension.

So this unknown existence only reduced the skill points by 2 points.

可属性面板就不一样，1点就是1点，管你是从1到2，还是从98到99。

It will treat everyone equally.

hum!
Murphy quietly opened his eyes, felt the changes in his body a little, and then made an analysis and conclusion.

"It's still not as good as the attribute panel. The process of adding points to the attribute panel is very fast."

"Sometimes I don't even feel it myself."

"And the skill points that have been washed away, and then redistributed, always feel a little strange."

"It seems to be purely instilling memory."

"It takes a while of solid practice to really master."

"It's not like the attribute panel at all. It allows me to truly master it completely. It's no different from what I practiced myself."

"Of course, he is not without some benefits."

"Being able to wash points and replace legendary specialties with ordinary specialties is a remarkable ability."

"Originally, I thought that specialties would be like skill points, ordinary and legendary are not equivalent."

"I don't know what kind of judgment mechanism this is."

After the analysis, Murphy decided to try again.

He intends to use [Spell Silence], [Spell Increase], [Spell Enhancement], [Spell Delay], [Spell Upgrade], [Spell Ultimate], [Spell Instant], [Spell Fixed], [Spell Expansion] A total of 9 specialties are washed out.

Except for [Silent Spell] and [Spell Increase], the other 7 specialties were all developed by Murphy in the past two months.

As for washing off, it is natural to practice again.

Anyway, Murphy found it very easy to practice these specialties.

"You spent 50 experience points to carry out [Spiritual Innovation]."

hum!
In an instant, Murphy's consciousness returned to the unknown place full of unknown light.
