Chapter 56: Chapter 56 [Fighting Master LV.1]

"The ’Profession’ column isn’t empty anymore; it had always been empty before, making me feel like I was some unemployed drifter. Though I never had a proper job, at least I was still moonlighting as a college student."

Zhang Yanhang felt that at his current age of twenty, it was actually abnormal to have a job since he hadn’t even finished school yet. How could he possibly find a regular job with benefits like social insurance and a housing fund?

"Because my attributes have increased, my Life Value has increased by 30 points and Energy Value by 10 points, and also, my Life Value Recovery Speed has again risen by 1 point, from the original 3 points, going up to the current 4 points."

Since he had confirmed last time that the recovery speed was related to attribute values, Zhang Yanhang started to ponder the more specific relationship between the two.

"It wouldn’t be that every time Constitution increases by five points, Life Value Recovery Speed increases by one point, would it?"

After only brief consideration, Zhang Yanhang discovered this simple and easy-to-understand rule. To test his hypothesis, he took off his belt and glanced at the data panel again. The result was that even though his Constitution had dropped from 21 points to 20 points, his Life Value Recovery Speed had not changed at all.

[Life Value: 324/324 (Constitution × 15, current body has officially digitized, Life Value Recovery Speed, 4 points per hour.)]

"It looks like it really is that every five points of increased Constitution adds one point to Life Value Recovery Speed. Then, according to this theory, if I were to calculate the Energy Value Recovery Speed, it should be that every five points of increased Intelligence would add three points to Energy Value Recovery Speed." After validating his guess, Zhang Yanhang looked at the skill list at the bottom of the data panel.

"Hmm? Where did my original Gun Proficiency, Martial Arts Proficiency, and Crisis Warning go? Were they swallowed up, or did they automatically disappear because they came into contact with higher-tier skills?"

Regarding the first three skills he obtained, Gun Master, Fighting Master, and Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil, Zhang Yanhang felt that just by their names, they were evidently upgraded versions of his original three skills.

As for the fourth skill, Technique Immunity? He had no clue about that one.

Among these four new skills, Zhang Yanhang first opened the Skill Effect of Gun Master.

[Gun Master LV.1 (Passive)]

[Skill Effect: Increases Remote Attack Power by 10%, enhances proficiency with firearms and related long-range combat abilities.]

"It’s a skill befitting the ’Heavenly Destiny Master’ profession; the effect of this Gun Master skill is indeed four times stronger compared to the original Gun Proficiency.

The original Gun Proficiency not only increased attack power by merely 2.5% and was limited to firearms, but this Gun Master directly adds 10% to Remote Attack Power. This means that even if I use techniques like releasing Spiritual Energy in the future, I could still receive an Attack Power Bonus.

Even the description of the skill effect is longer than the original Gun Proficiency."

Zhang Yanhang previously thought this Gun Master was just an upgraded version of Gun Proficiency, but now it seems that it is not just any ordinary upgrade; it’s clearly a supercharged supreme PLUS version.

After reviewing the effects of Gun Master, Zhang Yanhang then opened the Fighting Master skill effect.

[Fighting Master LV.1 (Passive Skill)]

[Skill Effect: Increases Melee Attack Power by 10%, improves proficiency in martial arts and related melee combat abilities.]

"Predictably, a skill deserving of having ’Master’ in its name, just like Gun Master, it’s four times stronger than the original skill, and the skill description has gotten longer too. Now, in addition to martial arts, it can also enhance other melee abilities." After checking the effects of Fighting Master, Zhang Yanhang immediately opened the third skill, Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil.

[Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil LV.1 (Passive/Active)]

[Passive Effect: Neural Reflex Speed +2.5%]

[Active Effect: Perceives the location of enemies within Perception Range and to a certain extent predicts the enemy’s next attack. Currently, Perception Range is 250+25×18 (Intelligence) = 700 meters. No cooldown time, minimal Physical Strength consumption.]

"With this skill, can I just throw away the Enemy Seeking Radar? After all, the radar consumes one point of Energy Value each time it’s used, and it has a cooldown time. But this new skill not only doesn’t have a cooldown time, it also consumes just a tiny bit of Physical Strength."

Compared to the original and not so reliable passive skill, Crisis Warning, Zhang Yanhang felt this skill was more like a supreme PLUS version of Enemy Seeking Radar.

"And moreover, apart from the active effect, Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil also has a passive bonus effect, which can improve Neural Reflex Speed by 2.5%."

Of course, Zhang Yanhang felt the really important part should be the latter half of the skill description, which can predict the enemy’s next attack. This Skill Effect fits the name ’Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil’ very well, and the added Neural Reflex Speed is likely there to allow him to react more quickly after predicting the enemy’s next move.

"As expected from the ’Heavenly Destiny Master’ profession skill, this Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil really seems so practical."

Zhang Yanhang felt that Multiple Choice had provided him with three incredibly practical skills. Basically, they were of the kind that would surely be used whenever he was in combat, so he became even more eager about what exactly the fourth skill, Technique Immunity, would entail.

[Technique Immunity LV.1 (Passive Skill)]

[Skill Effect: Generates an Energy Shield based on 10% of the ’Heavenly Destiny Master’s’ Life Value Limit. The Shield Defensive Power is equal to the ’Heavenly Destiny Master’s’ Defensive Power (including positive status bonuses to defensive power, negative statuses will not reduce Energy Shield defensive power).

The Energy Shield will autonomously block all forms of attacks from the outside world. In the absence of enemy attacks causing damage, the Energy Shield will recover 20% of the total Shield Value every second.

Besides automatic isolation, the ’Heavenly Destiny Master’ can freely choose which targets to isolate, and can also switch the Energy Shield’s display form. In an external display state, the Energy Shield will inherit 100% of the ’Heavenly Destiny Master’s’ defensive power, while in a normal state, the Energy Shield will only have 80% of the ’Heavenly Destiny Master’s’ defensive power.

The Energy Shield generation has no cooldown time, no consumption, cannot be dispelled, cannot be weakened. Duration of Energy Shield: ∞.]

"Holy shit! Isn’t this skill a bit too awesome? It really is Technique Immunity, isn’t it?!"

Zhang Yanhang had always thought that the name Technique Immunity was probably an exaggeration, but it turned out that he had underestimated the Heavenly Destiny Master; this is truly the genuine ’Technique Immunity’.
