"I suggest you be careful when learning skills, otherwise you won't have enough skill points later on."
Hao Yun nodded, indicating that he understood.
In fact, he already had a general plan for his skill selection.
After quickly finishing dinner, Hao Yun and his four-person team, plus Ye Zi, went to the skill learning counter. Inside the counter was the same old man. Hao Yun reached out and knocked on the table twice.
"Old man, learn a skill."
The old man, who was dozing off, yawned and glanced at Hao Yun.
"It's you again? Take a look for yourself, and call me when you've made your choice."
The skill names and descriptions appeared on the stone slab. Without hesitation, Hao Yun quickly decided to learn the priest skill "Explore" and the warrior skill "Rage".
[Reconnaissance: Allows you to detect information about monsters or humans up to ten levels above your own level.]
[Rage: (Passive Skill) Increases attack power by an equal percentage based on the percentage of health lost.]
Hao Yun has two skills: Scouting requires one skill point, and Rage requires two. Hao Yun currently has exactly three skill points.
"I want to learn reconnaissance and rage; this is the gold coin."
Hao Yun took out three gold coins and placed them on the counter.
The old man tapped the stone slab, and two white lights flashed, revealing two new skills on Hao Yun's skill panel.
Human Race
[Level: 6]
HP: 350
[MP: 350]
[Strength: 35]
[Physical Fitness: 35]
Intelligence: 35
[Spirit: 35]
Available attribute points: 25
Available skill points: 0
[Skills: Charge, Fireball, Scout, Rage.]
Wow! Such high stats!
Standing to the side, Ye Zi looked at Hao Yun's attribute panel and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Hao Yun's heart stirred, and he asked.
"Are my attribute values high?"
Ye Zi nodded vigorously, "Of course it's high! What are your base attributes? How come your attribute value reached thirty-five at level six?"
As they spoke, Ye Zi opened her attribute panel, showing Hao Yun her attribute values.
Human Race
[Level: 23]
HP: 1250
[MP: 300]
Strength: 50
[Physical Fitness: 125]
Intelligence: 28
[Spirit: 30]
Available attribute points: 0
Available skill points: 0
[Skills: Illumination, Charge, Intercept, Shield Wall, Holy Light Protection, Judgment, Angel's Blessing.]
After looking at Ye Zi's panel, Hao Yun secretly calculated that if he reached level 23, his four attributes should be 120, not even counting the free attribute points given for leveling up.
"Ye Zi, how many attribute points do you give for leveling up?"
"One point in all attributes, and five points in other attributes that can be freely allocated, what's wrong?"
Hao Yun's pupils dilated instantly. One point! He had five points; every level he gained increased all his attributes by five points.
Is this the perk of being a time traveler? Hao Yun turned his gaze to Sun Wukong, who was selecting a skill.
[Demon Clan]
[Level: 5]
HP: 300
[MP: 300]
[Strength: 30]
[Constitution: 30]
Intelligence: 30
[Spirit: 30]
Available attribute points: 20
Available skill points: 4
Like Hao Yun, Sun Wukong was at level one with all attributes at maximum value, and leveling up also increased all attributes by five points.
The same applies to the time machine and the sixth child.
Such a huge advantage made Hao Yun sigh, "Transmigrators really do come with their own cheat codes."
"Hey! You still haven't told me what your base attribute values are."
Seeing that Hao Yun hadn't paid any attention to her for a long time, Ye Zi pouted angrily.
"Sorry, I was lost in thought just now. I might have a special constitution, with a natural attribute value of 30."
Hao Yun decided to lie to Ye Zi. If he told her that he gained five points in all attributes with each level up, she would probably be so jealous that she would be unrecognizable.
Even though Hao Yun lied, Ye Zi's eyes still turned red with jealousy. At level one, her highest base attribute was only 8 points in Spirit, and the other three were not worth mentioning.
Four gold coins.
After Sun Wukong finished learning the skills, the old man behind the counter quoted a price.
Hao Yun shook off the jealous, maddening leaves and went to the counter to pay.
The Time Machine and the Sixth Brother also quickly learned the skills.
"Haha, we finally have a skill! Let's go kill goblins again tomorrow!"
After learning the skills, the time machine became very powerful. With a wave of its hand, a wind blade flew out, leaving a large hole in the ground.
A union employee walked over from a short distance away and said to the time machine with a smile.
"Destroy the guild grounds, ten gold coins."
"How much! Ten gold coins!"
The time machine exclaimed in surprise, almost cursing, "It's just a broken tile, and you want ten gold coins from me?"
The young male employee, still smiling, pointed to a notice posted on the wall.
"It's posted on the wall: Do not damage the facilities in the union. Violators will be fined ten gold coins."
Chapter 188 Goblin Suppression
After paying the fine, Time Machine kept grumbling and complaining, making me so angry I wanted to burn down the Adventurers' Guild.
"What kind of ridiculous rule is this? They actually fine me ten gold coins! I'm so angry!"
The time machine is a case of "the more you hold back, the angrier you get; the more you back down, the more you feel you've lost out."
"Not bad, only a fine of ten gold coins. There was a guy who learned a skill and wanted to see its effect, so he just blew up an entire guild."
Ye Zi patted the Time Machine's head, expressing great sympathy.
"Destroy a guild! What skill is that?"
The time machine's eyes lit up instantly, as if it were plotting something mischievous.
"It seems to be a pseudo-forbidden spell, a spacetime rift?"
Ye Zi wasn't entirely sure either, because she had only heard about it from others, and given how much time had passed, she no longer remembered the details.
Where will you rest tonight?
Hao Yun answered Ye Zi's question without hesitation.
"Of course, we should find a hotel."
"Don't you have a place to stay yet?"
Ye Zi's expression was very complicated, a mixture of sympathy and a hint of schadenfreude.
"yes!"
Hao Yun, unaware that something was amiss, led the three straight to the hotel they had seen during the day.
Following behind the four, Ye Zi remained calm and unhurried. She had already booked a room, and now she was ready to follow along and see what the commotion was about.
What? There are no rooms available?
Standing in front of the hotel, Hao Yun began to feel a headache coming on. There was only one hotel in this small town, and that was the one right in front of him.
Without rooms, were they supposed to camp on the streets? Hao Yun shook his head, indicating that he absolutely could not accept it.
