Chapter 240

【This time the synthesized equipment is: Peace Ring, Nine-Child Ghost Mother Diagram, Flying Yellow Cloud Mane Chariot, Thousand-Face Martial Shadow Stone, Beast-Face War Chariot Order】

【Estimated completion time: 5 hours】

Synthesis began; this time it took five hours. After Chu Danqing took a look, he first learned the four skills he received: Array Co-Defense, Undead Protection, Sacrificial Bone Armor, and Residual Life Burst.

Then he went to the skill cabin to upgrade his skills; during this process, he was thinking about a problem.

That is the utilization of basic-tier skill crystals; according to his original idea, he would definitely choose to convert them all into Proficient-tier skill crystals to improve Proficient skills.

Proficient skills are the foundation of the system; learning them is the key, otherwise, at most, it adds a few percentage points.

Now that strength is low, the percentage bonus is not high, and multi-level improvement is not suitable.

"Knowledge is power, but my current knowledge is not enough to be converted into sufficient power."

"So... improve strength first." Chu Danqing made up his mind, leaving 60 basic-tier skill crystals to increase all six Proficient skills by 1 level.

The remaining 42 were used to upgrade skills.

Otherwise, his Paradise Points wouldn't be enough.

——

【Protect the Emperor (Active) LV. 10→LV. MAX: Consumes 50% of maximum Mana to obtain an equivalent shield, forcibly summons the designated summoned object to your side and makes the summoned object gain 20% all-attribute bonus, movement speed of all summoned objects moving towards you +40%, duration 20 minutes】 (Consumes Paradise Points × 20000)

——

【Summoned Object Strengthening (Passive) LV. 15→LV. MAX: Summoned object five-dimensional attributes +20%, HP +20%, Mana +20%, Attack +20%, Defense +20%, negative resistance +20%】 (Consumes Paradise Points × 10000)

——

【King-Car Swap (Passive) LV. 1→LV. MAX: When attacked, forcibly swap positions with a designated summoned object within (Spirit × 2) meters, each swap consumes (1 meter × 10) Mana】 (Consumes Basic-tier Skill Crystal × 9 + Paradise Points × 20000)

——

【Array Co-Defense (Active) LV. 1→LV. 20: After activation, consumes (designated summoned object quantity × 1) Mana per minute, continuously transferring your own shield to the designated summoned object, stops transferring after the designated summoned object possesses 30% of your own maximum shield value】 (Consumes Basic-tier Skill Crystal × 9 + Paradise Points × 20000)

(Note: The shield on the summoned object will decay over time)

(Note: When the skill is not turned off, shield decay will be transferred and replenished at the first opportunity)

(Note: Shield strength inherits your own shield strength)——

【Undead Protection (Passive) LV. 1→LV. 10: For every 2% drop in HP, summoned objects gain 1% damage reduction and 5% treatment effect enhancement (maximum stacking 10 layers)】 (Consumes Basic-tier Skill Crystal × 9)

——

【Sacrificial Bone Armor (Passive) LV. 1→LV. MAX: For every 5% drop in your own HP, summoned object defense increases by 5% (maximum stacking 10 layers)】 (Consumes Basic-tier Skill Crystal × 9 + Paradise Points × 10000)

——

【Residual Life Burst (Passive) LV. 1→LV. MAX: When the apostle's HP drops to 50%, all summoned objects gain +10 to all attributes】 (Consumes Basic-tier Skill Crystal × 6 + Paradise Points × 13000)

——

With this wave of skill improvements, Chu Danqing's basic skill crystals were left with only 60, and Paradise Points dropped directly to 11,558.

"The Paradise Points for upgrading Fine-tier skills learned at the reserve level from level 10 to 20 didn't change; it requires 2,000 Paradise Points per level."

"But for Fine-tier skills learned at Rank One, from level 1 to 20 max level, they were all 1,000 Paradise Points."

"The improvement of one's own rank leads to a reduction in skill upgrade costs."

"It seems that in the future, it is best to try to max them out before rank improvement, otherwise, if Paradise Points appreciate after rank improvement, it will be a loss," Chu Danqing looked at the skills that were also Fine tier, but the Paradise Points consumed were nearly half different.

Subsequently, Chu Danqing synthesized the remaining 60 basic-tier skill crystals into 6 Proficient-tier skill crystals, and then let the six Proficient skills all increase by 1 level.

Knowledge flooded into his mind again; fortunately, it was only an increase of 1 level, which Chu Danqing could bear, but the content was still very difficult and required Chu Danqing to study and think carefully.

【Summoning/Summoning Art/Cultivation/Harmonization/Spirit Control/Command Mastery: LV. 5】

【Skill effect: Improve summoned object all attributes/talent, skill effect/bloodline effect/affinity tendency/spirituality/summoning-class consumption, 10%×4/10/-10,...】

After returning from the skill cabin, Chu Danqing returned to his personal room again, lying down to rest, waiting for the equipment synthesis to be completed.

"I can still spare 858 Paradise Points, so..." Chu Danqing was planning how to use these mosquito legs.

What? The other party is just an ordinary person? That's not necessarily true.

It depends on which version it is; if it's in normal history, it must be just an ordinary person.

If this involves martial arts, cultivation, mythology, etc., the best case is starting with Buddha's light shining everywhere.

The unluckiest is meeting the version of Emperor Taizong of Tang who has a younger brother going to the West to seek the true scriptures.

Then he opened the talent panel named Appearance of the Heavenly Sun.

【Appearance of the Heavenly Sun】

【Effect 1: Increase Charm by (average of five-dimensional attributes) points】

【Effect 2: Increase Luck by (lowest five-dimensional attribute × 10%) points】

【Effect 3: Increase Soul Strength by (Charm + Luck) points】

【Effect 4: Initial favorability of trial world natives +10%~100%】

【Effect 5: For every 10 points of Charm attribute, damage dealt by summoned objects additionally carries 0.1% true damage】

【Effect 6: For every 1 point of Luck attribute, damage received by summoned objects is reduced by 0.1%】

【Effect 7: For every 1 point of Soul Strength, summoned objects gain 0.1 points of all attributes】

【Effect 8: Increase maximum HP by (Soul Strength × 0.1)%】

【Effect 9: Increase maximum Mana by (Soul Strength × 0.1)%】

Good news, he shouldn't have to fight Li Shimin; Appearance of the Heavenly Sun has nothing to do with the Emperor.

Even better news, the strength is very high.

Chu Danqing felt that the question of whether these 10,000 Paradise Points were worth it was no longer the issue; it was that he had earned a fortune.

Especially the Soul Strength, Chu Danqing's surge was a bit outrageous.

The naked equipment attribute is 12 points of Charm, Yunfeng White Jade Seal +1 point, Nine Cauldrons Diagram 39 points, plus the 18.4 points of average attribute added by Appearance of the Heavenly Sun.

Adding them up is 70.4 points of Charm, completely exceeding the limit of Rank 1.

Then 70.4 points of Charm attribute plus the 1.8 Luck added by Appearance of the Heavenly Sun and the 6 points of Luck that comes with the Nine Cauldrons Diagram is directly 78.2 points.

Rounding it up is 78 points of Soul Strength.

It can give summoned objects an increase of 7.8 points of all attributes, and can also increase his own maximum HP/Mana by 7.8%.

"If only there could be another special skill like Long Zhangfengzi that can improve Luck." Chu Danqing only felt regret.

The only way he can improve Luck now is through Appearance of the Heavenly Sun, using 10% of the lowest five-dimensional attribute as a gain.

But for Chu Danqing, this channel is too singular.

Naturally, he needs a better way.

"Next, improve attributes, enhance skills, purchase supplies." Chu Danqing looked at his Paradise Points.

This improvement is related to the benefits of the next trial.

After Chu Danqing muttered a sentence, he went to enhance attributes first.

This time he didn't enhance much, and didn't improve all five-dimensional attributes.

【Strength: 18→20】

【Agility: 18→20】

【Constitution: 20】

【Spirit: 18→20】

【Perception: 18→20】

【Charm: 12】

【Remaining Attribute Points: 28】

Consuming 8 attribute points, Chu Danqing then started to enhance.

The excruciating pain still existed, but compared to the previous one-time big leap improvement, the pain was still unbearable, and it hurt more each time.

But because the attributes enhanced this time were relatively few, the enhancement process was much faster.

Not long after, the attribute enhancement was completed.

After Chu Danqing came out, he didn't have time to recover and rushed to the skill cabin to continue enhancing skills.

The skill he wanted to enhance this time was the Shanhe Alliance.

"Good news, 6 points of general skill points can be used, and it only takes 1 point to upgrade by 1 level."

"The bad news is that the Shanhe Alliance only has a maximum level of 20." Chu Danqing's expression was regretful.

This means that it can only reduce the cost by 20% at most, but the Fine Tier skill itself has an upper limit.

Before, he didn't know that upgrading the Shanhe Alliance could reduce costs, otherwise he would have upgraded it long ago.

Only after knowing did he choose to max it out first.

【Shanhe Alliance (Active) LV. 10→MAX: Consumes (1/80/800/1600) Paradise Points, summons (1 rank lower/same rank/1 rank higher/2 ranks higher) alliance target to fight for you, consumes (no consumption/1/80/400) Paradise Points per hour during existence, maximum alliance quantity: 12, upper limit of initial rank for signing alliance: Rank 3】 (Consumes General Skill Points × 6 + Paradise Points × 4,000)

As for other skills... Chu Danqing scanned around: LV. 1 King-Chariot Swap, LV. 10 Protect the Emperor, and LV. 15 Summoned Object Enhancement.

The maximum level of these three skills is also 20, and maxing them out requires 59,000 Paradise Points.

"No rush, talk about it later." Chu Danqing upgraded the Shanhe Alliance first naturally to save money.

Next, he needs to go to the S-level cultivation room, and Guo Ming and Xiong Zhigang must also be brought along.

Anyway, they all need to be upgraded, save a sum first.

Chu Danqing sighed; he could spend 17,000 without leaving a cent, and he could also spend 170,000 without leaving a cent.

As for why he didn't choose to sell equipment first and then go to the cultivation room this time, it was because Chu Danqing needed the Shenwei Heavenly King to point out the way, which is the method to improve the quality of the Peace Ring, Nine-Child Ghost Mother Diagram, Thousand-Faced Martial Shadow Stone, and Beast-Faced War Chariot Order.

If he sold the equipment, how would he exchange for what he needed later?

"Next is procurement." Chu Danqing came to the Apostle Square and started purchasing corresponding resources for Da Bao, Da Bai, and Da Gu according to their needs.

They were generally material-type items; although the value was low, the lowest quality Chu Danqing purchased was Fine Tier.

He didn't blink when buying, and another 30,000 Paradise Points were gone.
