Omni-Mastery

['OMNI-Mastery' lv.1

'Lv.0' - you can achieve skill acquisition much easily through knowledge accumulation & understanding.

'Lv.1' - you are able to acquire Mastery skills through skill & knowledge accumulation.

'Lv.2' - ?????????????????? (Incomplete 50%)]

It was halfway through. Although I didn't know the way to unlock it yet, that was a very good start, especially since 'Lv.2' seemed to be related to skill combination.

All the I could hope for was that I would be able to achieve the requirements faster, but there was nothing else I could do.

The last work I had to do before leaving was refining the last batch of ores the smith had brought back and then I would be able to leave.

['Ore Refining' has reached lv.10]

[Your skill 'Ore Refining' lv.10 is absorbed into 'Material Processing' lv.1]

['Material Processing' has reached lv.2]

[Another requirement of 'Omni-Mastery' lv.2 has been met (50% -> 65%)]

['Material Processing' lv.2

Skill type: Active

Skill accumulation:

'Ore Refining' Intermediate lv.1, 0.8%.

*The time required for processing a material decreases by 20%

*The quality of the refined Material increases by 40%]

['Ore Refining' Intermediate lv.1, 0.8%.

Skill type: Passive

*The time required for refining an ore decreases by 90%

*The quality of the refined ingot increases by 120%.]

'Indeed, when it rains it pours!'

Not only did this skill absorption increase the degree of the unlocking by 15% but it also left me a clue about the requirements being related to skill aggregation either it was combination or absorption which was a very important lead.

Maxing skill levels seemed to be an important way of progressing towards both ways.

So, I had to work hard on maxing skill levels for two reasons, firstly the development of the skill's knowledge. Secondly, to reach the second level of 'Omni-Mastery' as it was the only clue of doing so.....

"Honestly, I can't help but be surprised even though I got to know that you can't be judged by common sense"

"Sigh, in any case, I consider my request accomplished, here is you reward!"

I received a single coin from the smith but to my surprise it wasn't a silver one nor a copper one, it was a gold coin!

"You sure are generous, Mr. Smith."

"Your work was worth it! Also stop calling me Mr. Smith, I have a name you know."

"Well, you never told me about it though."

"Listen well, my name is Drake, don't you dare forget it!"

"Ok, I shall call you teacher Drake from now on!"

"Hah, you dare take yourself as my student because I taught you for 10 days, you must be dreaming!"

"Come on teach, don't be stingy."

"Hahahaha"

We laughed it off for a while, but I soon left after bidding Drake farewell as I only had a month & half left. It was time to head to the forest to start combat training.
