——

Chu Danqing looked at the long string of prompts that appeared, while a large amount of brand-new common sense flooded into his mind.

"Strategic commission???" After Chu Danqing digested it, he took out a Basic-Tier Skill Crystal from his storage space with a slightly confused expression.

【Basic-Tier Skill Crystal】

【Type: Consumable】

【Quality: None】

【Effect 1: After use, can raise a basic skill by 1 level】

【Effect 2: Can ignore skill quality and type, raise a skill level within 1~10 by 1 level】

(Note: 10 Basic-Tier Skill Crystals can be synthesized into 1 Proficiency-Tier Skill Crystal)

When Chu Danqing saw this scene, he could not help but fall silent.

"So Paradise, with the help of the Mountain and River Covenant, started extracting basic skills directly through the influence of Governor Xiong, and then settled them for me as skill crystals as dividends based on my evaluation?"

Upon seeing this strategic commission, he had an ominous feeling.

"Don't go and make the treasure-type items disappear..." Chu Danqing did not think that after taking the commission, he could still convert treasure-type items into Paradise Points.

"Secondly, it's the commission quantity; setting aside the evaluation, the total amount is actually based on Governor Xiong's sphere of influence."

"The larger Governor Xiong's influence, the stronger the Warlord profession, the more skill crystals I harvest."

Paradise did not directly state that Chu Danqing should go and incite Xiong Zhigang to expand his territory, but if Chu Danqing wanted more, he would have to find a way himself.

"Just this one time, Paradise extracted 270,000 basic skills," Chu Danqing muttered.

Thinking in his heart about how to discuss the matter of expanding territory with Xiong Zhigang.

Then his gaze returned to the Paradise Points; there were still 120,000 Paradise Points unchanged, but the price had appreciated.

The simplest point was that he could pay a 1% service fee to Paradise to manufacture a Paradise Savings Card with a denomination of 100 points.

Placing it in the Rank One area would certainly be a loss, but if this savings card were sent down to the Reserve Rank area, the denomination of this savings card would increase tenfold.

Of course, some people had thought about conducting buying and selling transactions through this difference, but unfortunately, Paradise had comprehensive supervision and audit mechanisms.

There were various measures such as limits, inability to conduct secondary transactions, only being able to perform one lower-level delivery, and inability to conduct illegal buying and selling.

As for a Rank One Apostle giving it to a Reserve Rank Apostle and letting them act as an agent?

Sending money over was fine, but transferring profits back to the high-rank area would be directly detected and intercepted by Paradise.

The essence of the savings card was support and help from high-rank Apostles to low-rank Apostles, not for you to use to profit.

For small teams or lone wolves, it had less use, but for large forces, it was very valuable.

"Paradise Points have been value-preserved, so that means quality has depreciated," Chu Danqing muttered.

After he was promoted to Rank One, the quality ecological niche of equipment, props, consumables, etc., had changed.

Previously, at the Reserve Rank, common was the bottom layer, excellent belonged to the backbone, and fine was the ceiling.

However, now, the common grade had been eliminated.

In Rank One trial missions, common-grade treasure chests would no longer appear.

Common-grade consumables that restored HP had a greatly reduced effect on him as a Rank One Dimension Apostle, basically belonging to "better than nothing."

Replacing them was a brand-new ecological niche; excellent grade became the bottom layer, fine grade was the backbone, and the newly unlocked exemplary quality was the ceiling.

Paradise Points that could buy common-grade quality at the Reserve Rank could now buy excellent-grade quality in the Rank One area.

Paradise Points did not depreciate with the Apostle's promotion; instead, they appreciated with the Apostle's rank.

So this meant that in the future, there would not be a situation where raising a skill by 1 level would cost millions or tens of millions of Paradise Points.

Including Chu Danqing's Mountain and River Covenant, the current service fees had also dropped significantly; common grade only needed 1 point, excellent fell to 100, and fine only needed 1000 Paradise Points as a service fee.

The newly appeared exemplary grade replaced the original fine grade, requiring 5000 Paradise Points as a service fee.

For example, the Magic Mechanical Insect bloodline, this was an exemplary-grade bloodline, and the attribute content had also been unlocked.

As for the set combination dropped from the Empress Dowager, it was still a question mark.

Clearly, the quality was higher than exemplary; it could only be said that it was worthy of being produced by a Destiny Treasure Chest.

He estimated that it would only unlock the corresponding quality at Rank Two.

Chu Danqing knew that selling it now would certainly not exchange for even one percent of its original value.

It could be said that he had lost to his grandmother's house.

So he prepared to wait and see for a while before making plans.

【Apostle has completed A-Rank difficulty assessment, please go to the attribute cabin location as soon as possible to perform attribute passive selection and enhancement, completing life level promotion】

Paradise's prompt appeared in time; Chu Danqing had only completed the assessment, not the promotion.

Seeing this, Chu Danqing immediately took Da Bao and Da Bai to the enhancement cabin location to start enhancement.

"After Rank One, attributes can continue to be added, but the upper limit has been raised to 30 points."

Chu Danqing said, starting to distribute 42 attribute points to the five-dimensional attributes.

【Strength: 10→18】

【Agility: 10→18】

【Constitution: 10→20】

【Spirit: 10→18】

【Perception: 10→18】

The extra two points would certainly go to Constitution; he didn't need to fight and kill, so he would certainly prioritize saving his life, as adding to Constitution had the most advantage.

Distribution complete, but the enhancement did not start; instead, the corresponding attribute passives appeared.

——

【Strength · Attribute Passive 3-Choose-1】

【Blood Sacrifice Magic Blade (Fit · Rare): For every 0.5% HP lost by oneself, summoned object attack power increases by 1% (stacks up to 100 layers)】

【Armor-Breaking Awl (Rare): When attacking targets with armor/shields, each hit reduces armor value by an additional 1.5% (effect doubled against energy shields), triggers a small-range shock after stacking 5 layers】

【Stable Stance (Common): When standing still, defense +3%】

——

【Agility · Attribute Passive 3-Choose-1】

【Spirit Energy Sword Dance (Fit · Rare): When a summoned object hits an enemy or hits a target with a skill, attack speed/casting speed increases by 1% (lasts 1 minute, stacks up to 100 layers, refreshes duration after stacking layers)】

【Efficient Rhythm (Rare): After hitting the same target with three consecutive attacks, the fourth attack damage +10%, the fifth attack speed +10%】

【Precision Throw (Common): Throwing-type prop/weapon hit rate +5%】

——

【Constitution · Attribute Passive 3-Choose-1】

【Symbiotic Armor (Fit · Rare): 10% of the damage taken by the Apostle is shared equally by all summoned objects present; when shared damage exceeds 10% of the summoned object's own HP within 24 hours, that summoned object's attack +10%, lasts 24 hours】

【Strong Tendon (Rare): After a limb is injured, can consume 10% of current HP to repair the wound】

【Resilient Bone (Common): Reduces HP loss by 5% when receiving fracture-type damage】

——

【Spirit · Attribute Passive 3-Choose-1】

【Herd Mentality (Fit · Rare): When the number of summoned objects on the field is greater than 10, for every additional summoned object, the mana recovery efficiency of the Apostle and summoned objects on the field increases by 10% (stacks up to 10 layers)】

【Mana Siphon (Rare): When using a skill to hit an enemy, steal 2 points of mana and convert it into own shield, lasts 10 seconds (shield value = stolen amount x1, converted shield value duration calculated independently, cannot be refreshed, cannot be stacked)】

【Focus Fragment (Common): When casting a skill, mana consumption reduced by 10 points (minimum 1 point consumption retained)】

——

【Perception · Attribute Passive 3-Choose-1】

【Monarch's Contempt (Fit · Rare): All summoned objects possess momentum pressure with intensity of (Spirituality + Apostle Perception Attribute x10%), if enemy resistance judgment fails, causes corresponding negative effect】

【Trajectory Pre-reading (Rare): When long-range attacks (arrows, projectiles, etc.) approach within (Perception x0.1) meters, automatically obtain their trajectory prediction, but ineffective against range damage】

【Scent Identification (Common): Can distinguish common scent sources within 1 meter】

——

After Chu Danqing took a look, he chose the first attribute passive with the "Fit · Rare" suffix without even thinking.

He didn't even look at the common suffix, and he took a serious look at the rare suffix, just in case there was one that acted on summoned objects.

As a result, he thought too much; not one of them was suitable for him.

These rare-suffix attribute passives all required him to personally attack to trigger, but if Chu Danqing had to do it himself, he would basically be on the verge of a desperate situation.

On the contrary, the "Fit · Rare" suffix attribute passives were not only more suitable for him, but their strength was also far superior to rare and common.

The assessment difficulty was greater, so the rewards obtained were naturally better; it couldn't be said that the attribute passives of the three options were all on par.

Wouldn't the A-Rank assessment difficulty then become a joke?

After the selection was complete, Chu Danqing started the enhancement.

As for the anesthetic function, Chu Danqing said that although he had 120,000 Paradise Points this time.

Because he had just been promoted to Rank One, there were certainly many places to spend money, so he would definitely do it next time.

"Holy shit!!!"

As soon as the enhancement started, Chu Danqing's voice was sharp and distorted; the pain intensity was at least ten times higher than the 10 points from last time.
