Chapter 61: Chapter 61 Main Attribute

"And not only did the shield value increase, but the defensive power increased as well. The defensive power in the outward status has risen by 25%, and in the ordinary status, it went from 80% to 92.5%," Zhang Yanhang estimated that if he were to level up a few more times, the shield in the ordinary status could also reach a 100% defensive power.

"But this upgrade’s requirement for soul points is way too high!" exclaimed Zhang Yanhang as he opened his soul point balance.

Soul Points: 760 (-1550)

"I’ve actually spent a whopping 1550 soul points!"

Regrettably, the requirements for leveling up the Technique Immunity Skill had surged even more fiercely than the Limitless Universe Skill. Although going from LV.1 to LV.2 only required 50 soul points, LV.3 needed 100 soul points, LV.4 needed 200 soul points, LV.5 required 400 soul points, and LV.6 needed 800 soul points.

"The requirement of soul points directly doubles with each level up; this is simply terrifying," thought Zhang Yanhang. Although LV.6 only needed 800 soul points, LV.10 would require 12,800 soul points—the consumption had increased by a factor of 256 times compared to the initial 50 soul points.

"But although the energy consumption is truly fearsome, the effects of the skill are indeed strong," left with 760 soul points, Zhang Yanhang was ready to upgrade his Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil, aiming to enhance his efficiency in hunting zombies in Raccoon City.

As for Gun Master and Fighting Master? If it were just about killing ordinary zombies and Lickers, then his current damage output was already significantly overkill, so he decided not to enhance these two skills this time.

"Selection! Skill Level Enhancement!" Although he had just recently gained the autonomy to choose, Zhang Yanhang had already become quite adept at using it for skill upgrades.

Would you like to proceed with skill level enhancement?

Option One: ’Gun Master LV.1’ to ’Gun Master LV.2’ (Consumes 50 soul points.)

Option Two: ’Fighting Master LV.1’ to ’Fighting Master LV.2’ (Consumes 50 soul points.)

Option Three: ’Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil LV.1’ to ’Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil LV.2’ (Consumes 50 soul points.)

Option Four: ’Technique Immunity LV.6’ to ’Technique Immunity LV.7’ (Consumes 1600 soul points.)

Option Five: ’Limitless Universe Skill Level 7’ to ’Limitless Universe Skill LV.8’ (Consumes 990 soul points.)

Option Six: ’Alchemy [Incomplete]’ to ??? (Cannot be enhanced)

"I wonder if it’s just my imagination, but why do I have the feeling that the soul point requirements for Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil will also double?" Zhang Yanhang felt that there was a high probability that his thought would turn out to be the truth since Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil and Technique Immunity were both Heavenly Destiny Master’s professional skills, and also, the requirement at LV.1 was 50 points for both, which made it hard not to speculate.

"Forget it, it’s no use thinking so much. It’s quicker to confirm by practicing it directly. I choose option three, Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil," determined Zhang Yanhang, speculating that if the soul point requirement for Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil was similar to that for Technique Immunity, he should be able to upgrade Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil to LV.5.

...

Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil LV.5 (Passive/Active)

Passive Effect: Neural Reflex Speed +12.5% (+10%)

Active Effect: Perceive the location of enemies within perception range, and to some extent, predict their next move. Current Perception Range is 1250 (+1000) + 25×23 (Intelligence) = 1825 meters (+1125 meters). No cooldown time, consumes a small amount of physical strength.

"No additional attributes appeared, it looks like I really need to upgrade to LV.6 to get them. But this increase in the perception range is too drastic, isn’t it? It went straight from 700 meters to 1825 meters."

Zhang Yanhang’s original Enemy Seeking Radar could only scan enemies within a 500-meter radius, and furthermore, if there were too many enemies, it was prone to crashing and even explosions. But with the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil Skill at just LV.5, it already had a perception range of 1825 meters, so it was indeed justified to describe the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil as a super-doubled supreme PLUS version compared to the Enemy Seeking Radar.

"But, after upgrading these four levels of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil, my soul points have almost completely run out," Zhang Yanhang took another look at his soul point balance.

[Soul Points: 10（-750）]

Zhang Yanhang was now left with a measly 10 soul points, which was practically back to square one, but conversely, his strength had increased at least several times over.

"I actually guessed right again in this bizarre situation..." After upgrading the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil Skill this time, Zhang Yanhang confirmed something, which was that Limitless Universe Skill and Heavenly Destiny Master’s four professional skills were two completely different systems with entirely different upgrade requirements.

Although the increase on the Limitless Universe Skill side was sizable, it was still within an acceptable range. In contrast, the soul point requirement for each level upgrade of the Heavenly Destiny Master’s four professional skills doubled, which was truly terrifying.

"Well then, the next step is the final one... choosing! Attribute enhancement!"

[Would you like to enhance attribute points?]

[Hint: "Heavenly Destiny Master" main attributes are Strength, Agility, Constitution, Intelligence.]

[Option One: +1 Strength.]

[Option Two: +1 Agility.]

[Option Three: +1 Constitution.]

[Option Four: +1 Intelligence.]

[Option Five: +1 Charm.]

"Main attributes? What’s a main attribute? Is it because I’ve just assumed the role of Heavenly Destiny Master that this change appeared?"

Zhang Yanhang saw a note next to main attributes and clicked to check it, only to realize that it meant the difference between Strength, Agility, Constitution, and Intelligence couldn’t exceed five points.

As for that remaining Charm attribute? That didn’t matter, no matter how big the gap with the main attributes, but the maximum value of Charm couldn’t exceed the main attributes, it could only be equal at most.

Then, this note also happened to mention the limit for First-Tier attribute values—25 points.

Compared to the restrictions on the main attributes, what Zhang Yanhang truly cared about was the attribute value limit, after all, he preferred to distribute points evenly, so even if the rule that the four main attributes must maintain a difference of within five points seemed strict, it didn’t really matter to him at all.

"Ah? Only 25 points? Does that mean I’m about to reach the limit?" At first, Zhang Yanhang was surprised by this attribute limit, but then he realized that since his level had reached the limit of the First Tier, it was only natural for his attribute values to reach the First-Tier limit as well.

"Who would have thought? 25 points is actually a threshold. So by that logic, the threshold for Second Tier should be 50 points, right?"

Zhang Yanhang previously encountered these two very regular numbers when he drew the T-Virus Enhancing Potion and the T-Virus Sample from the slot machine, and he had been speculating whether these were thresholds. Now, surprisingly, he had guessed right. To be honest, in such matters, Zhang Yanhang actually wished he hadn’t guessed correctly.
