Master Changsheng

Chapter 43, Part 042: Emerging from Seclusion! [Happy New Year!]

Meditation Proficiency +30

Fireball skill proficiency +30

[Freeze skill proficiency +24]

...

【Meditation Lv11『130/130』】

Fireball Lv11『130/130』

【Freeze Spell Lv11『124/130』】

...

An Kai thought he had enough skill points, even more than enough.

He hadn't expected that the requirements for skills would also increase as his level rose!

Before level 11, each level requires 10 proficiency points to reach the maximum proficiency!

With this upgrade to [Lv11], the proficiency requirement has tripled!

The maximum proficiency level has been increased to 30 points!

That's 30 skill points!

At this moment, An Kai suddenly came to his senses.

He quickly sensed it...

"really!"

[Intelligence: 111] Based on the previous performance, his spell level should be able to continue to increase.

But at this moment, the familiar feeling of spell level increases only applies to [Freeze] and [Summon], two spells that are not yet at [Lv11] full proficiency!

Similar to spell proficiency, before reaching 101 points, the spell level increases every 10 points.

Now, once you reach 101 points, this effect disappears!

An Kai had a suspicion in his heart. He wondered if he could only get a spell level increase after his attribute value increased by 30 points?

To verify this idea, his Intelligence needs to be raised to 131 points.

To raise your Intelligence stat to 131, you need 80 attribute points!

The talent of "immortality" dictates that Ankai's only path to improvement is a balanced one.

80 points, placed before the improvement of [meditation], require 80 days of non-stop [meditation]!

After this upgrade…

An Kai took out the Meditation Staff and sensed it. He discovered that the time it took for him to gain attribute points through meditation had finally been reduced!

Now, he only needs 23 hours, and with the Meditation Staff, only 22 hours, to gain an attribute through Meditation!

Don't underestimate the fact that it was only a two-hour reduction; for Ankai, it was a sign that he saw hope!

After being stuck at the point where it takes a whole day to gain 1 attribute point in [Meditation], I've finally made the leap!

This is only [Lv11] level [Meditation], and Ankai believes that as long as he continues to improve!

One day, he'll be able to gain one attribute point per hour... no! Per minute!

After comprehending the [Meditation], An Kai's mind stirred, and the [Fireball] spell appeared!

The Fireball spell did not continue to expand; instead, its color deepened.

The previous Fireball spell was only pale yellow in color and looked huge, but it didn't feel very hot.

Now, the color of the [Fireball] spell has deepened, and a scorching aura is suddenly emanating from it!

It's only because we're in the mage tower now; otherwise, Ankai would definitely have tested its power!

He waved it away and didn't continue experimenting with the [Freeze] spell, because the [Freeze] spell wasn't at its maximum level yet.

I glanced at the food, which was still a third of the way through.

An Kai chose to continue his seclusion.

He had not yet completed the Mage Tower quest, and his own attributes did not meet the requirements for using the [Brute Force Staff].

Taking advantage of the fact that [Meditation] has just been upgraded, and that's when the enthusiasm is high.

Holding the Meditation Staff, she sat atop Sally Buklin's clothing and began her retreat...

...

Three months later.

Ankai had the [Brute Force Staff] beside him and held the slender [Meditation Staff] in his hand. He slowly opened his eyes.

I've finished my final meditation before leaving quarantine!

[Attribute Points +1]

call!

An Kai breathed a sigh of relief and chose to add it to his intelligence!

Intelligence +1

【Intelligence: 131】

This seclusion not only improved his efficiency, but the changes brought about by the [Meditation Level] also greatly reduced the time it took him to acquire attribute points!

This is less than a month longer than the last long period of seclusion.

However, the attribute points were doubled!

During his three-month seclusion, An Kai gained a total of 80 attribute points!

During this time, he had very few breaks. Subtracting eating, drinking, relieving himself, and summoning his pets, he spent all his time on meditation!

There's no other reason than that An Kai's appetite has increased dramatically again, and his food supply is insufficient to support his long period of seclusion!

For example, he hasn't had a full meal for two days now.

The food had been completely consumed two days ago, and that was the result of his frugal living!

Intelligence has been increased to 131 points.

Just as Ankai had predicted, the four spells were once again freed from their shackles, and a familiar feeling of being able to be improved emerged!

On the first month and 10 days of the seclusion.

Ankai has used the summoning exchange skill points to upgrade his [Freezing] and [Summoning] skills to the full proficiency of [Lv11『130/130』].

It was after [Summoning] reached [Lv11] that Ankai summoned a pet that met the requirements for Mage Tower Quest 2!

[Giant Boar: Lv11]

It is five meters long, weighs about 800 kilograms, and has a set of incisors in its mouth that look like mahjong tiles.

An Kai estimated that his set of front teeth must weigh around 20 pounds.

The appearance of the Giant-Toothed Pig not only solved the problem of skill point acquisition but also delayed Ankai's food crisis.

A giant pig weighing around 800 jin (approximately 400 catties) is just enough for Ankai to have a hearty meal.

However, the Giant-Toothed Pig cannot be summoned every time; sometimes it transforms into other inedible pets…

Sometimes, when he was starving, An Kai would regret letting go of the three horses pulling the carriage.

In his opinion, even if the horse meat was a little sour, it was still much tastier than pork that hadn't been fried!

but…

He finally got through those tough times!

An Kai admires his own endurance for persevering to this day!

Each long period of seclusion not only improved his strength but also his state of mind.

For example, now, after a long period of seclusion, An Kai feels that his aggressiveness has lessened.

Grabbing the [Brute Force Staff] beside him, he muttered, "I wonder if this strike will be enough to smash through the bounty tower!"

A month ago, his attribute requirements met the requirements for using the [Brute Force Staff].

Hold it in your hand and cast the spell.

An Kai finally understood how to use this [exquisite] staff!

Add weight to the spell!

Unfortunately, being in the mage tower, he couldn't conduct the experiment.

I glanced at the 72 skill points I had left.

Ankai added it to [Meditation], [Fireball], and [Freeze]...

Meditation Proficiency +30

Fireball skill proficiency +30

[Freeze skill proficiency +12]

【Meditation Lv12『160/160』】

Fireball Lv12『160/160』

【Freeze Spell Lv12『142/160』】

After the upgrade, Ankai opened his new panel.

【Level Lv1: 10/10 'Locked'】

Intelligence: 131 (Initial value: 1)

Endurance: 130 (Initial value: 1)

Stamina: 130 (Initial value: 1)

Strength: 130 (Initial value: 1)

[Talents: Immortality '∞', Mage's Body 'lv2']

【法术：冥想Lv12『160/160』、火球术Lv12『160/160』、冰冻术Lv12『142/160』、召唤Lv11『130/130』】

[Identity: Guide for the homeless.]

It's no exaggeration to say that his strength has increased several times compared to before he went into seclusion!

The upgraded Fireball spell is darker in color and hotter, showing signs of turning dark brown!

After the [Meditation] skill is upgraded again, the time to gain attribute points is reduced to 22 hours. If you have the [Meditation Staff], it only takes 21 hours!

[The Abandoned Mage Tower Inheritance Quest 3: Unlocked at Intelligence 400.]

[Task prompt: Reach 400 Intelligence points to enter the third level of cultivation.]

The requirements for the third Mage Tower quest cannot be met in a short time.

Ankai tidied up for a moment, putting the scattered books into his storage ring, including the book "The Secret of the Five Princesses of Bucklin" to pass the time.

Then, wielding the [Strength Staff] and carrying the [Water-Repelling Bead] in his pocket, he chose to leave the mage tower!

There are many reasons for this trip.

First, sell items you don't need to exchange for skill points; second, store enough food; and third, find a suitable temporary seclusion spot…
