Adventure: My Skills Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 189: Chapter 139: 7 New Skills

The second effect reduces burns from Fire Elemental Magic and corrosion from Dark Element Magic, serving as a specific counter to these two damage types.

’The two effects are useful, but not by much.’

’They wouldn’t be very useful in most situations, or at least not essential.’

This left Lin Mo a bit disappointed, and he began to reconsider choosing this Skill.

’I’ll check out the last Excellence Level Skill first.’

[Basic Meditation Method]

’This name...’

Lin Mo eagerly read its effects.

’Just as I thought!’

Enter a state of Meditation to slightly increase Magic Power recovery speed, slightly nurture one’s Spirit, and relieve mental strain.

’Holy crap, a Divine Skill!’

’What’s the most important thing for a Mage?’

’Without a doubt, Magic Power and Spirit.’

As a Mage, he had felt the strain of insufficient Magic Power or an overtaxed Spirit more than once.

The latter was especially unbearable. Not only did it affect his Magic casting, but for Lin Mo, it also hindered his ability to fight using other Professions.

But with this Skill, even though it was only a "slight" boost, he finally had a way to speed up his recovery.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call this a core Skill for any Mage!

’Without a doubt, this Skill was a must-pick.’

For his other Excellence Level Skill, Lin Mo chose the Warrior Class’s [Blood Qi Blade].

As for the Excellent Level Skills, Lin Mo chose two Magic spells.

That’s right, he ultimately decided to pick [Clear Stream Technique]. Besides being convenient for cleaning up on the road, Undead Creatures had recently been spotted deep in the Loran Forest. He might need it on a future adventure.

’It’s the kind of Skill you might not use often, but you can’t be without it.’

Then there were the three Ordinary Level Skills. Lin Mo ultimately chose the Magic spell [Wind Blade Skill], the Warrior Class Skill [Punching Fist], and the Ranger Class Skill [Lightness].

He had his reasons for choosing a Ranger Class Skill, of course.

"Have you made your decision?"

Beixila had been watching him make his choices the entire time.

"Yes, I’m sure. I’ll take these."

"Then take the Scrolls and come with me."

Lin Mo gathered the Scrolls and followed Beixila deep into the City Lord’s Mansion, stopping before a guest room.

"You can learn your chosen Skills here. Don’t worry, there’s no rush. Take three days, five days, or even longer if you need. Since you’re a friend of Feney’s, I’m happy to help with small matters like this."

Lin Mo wanted to say it wouldn’t take him that long, but upon seeing the room’s accommodations, he simply nodded and thanked her.

’This is so much more comfortable than an inn.’

The inn they were staying at was already considered high-end, but they had to be mindful of Lena’s financial situation. Besides, no matter how nice an inn was, it couldn’t possibly compare to a guest room in the City Lord’s Mansion.

’Resting here for a day or two would be nice, too.’

’Feney is also at the City Lord’s Mansion, so it’ll be convenient to go to the Association together later.’

’I just have to let Lena know...’

Of course, Lin Mo hadn’t forgotten about the Little Cat Girl working at the Association. After acquiring the [Cultivator Companion] Skill, he’d even considered whether he should help strengthen her Attributes as well.

But on second thought, he hadn’t actually spent that much time with Lena. While they were familiar enough to be considered friends, they hadn’t fought side-by-side like he had with Ali. There had been no romantic development between them, and she might not even like him that way.

Most importantly, even putting feelings aside, Lena wasn’t a combatant. A life of adventure and conflict didn’t suit her. It was better not to disturb the peaceful, stable life she currently had.

’In any family, besides the one who goes out and fights, you also need someone to be frugal and manage the home.’

Lin Mo explained the situation to Ali, who then went to the Association to find Lena and let her know.

As for Lin Mo, he closed the door and began to study his newly acquired Skills.

Naturally, he started with the simplest ones.

Of the three Ordinary Level Skills, Lin Mo first picked up the [Lightness] Scroll and studied its Qi and Blood circulation patterns.

Skills from the Physical System were always relatively simple, especially Ordinary Level ones. Lin Mo quickly mastered the Skill, and a notification popped up before his eyes.

"You have learned the Skill [Lightness]. You have gained +1 Agility attribute points!"

[Lightness] Level 1 (0/10): Consume a minuscule amount of Qi and Blood to gain a lighter step. Movement speed +5%!

The effect was simple and easy to understand, but that short sentence packed a serious punch.

This was precisely why Lin Mo had chosen this Skill.

For a newcomer with no Attributes or Skills, getting a 5% movement speed boost as their very first Skill would be an absolutely disastrous start.

No offensive abilities, just a tiny speed boost that costs Qi and Blood... it was a total trap.

But for the current Lin Mo, this was an absolutely cost-effective "Divine Skill."

The Qi and Blood consumption of an Ordinary Level Skill was negligible to him. Gaining a percentage-based speed increase for such a tiny price was an incredible deal!

Besides, the Skill should be easy to level up. Since the cost was so low, he could just keep it active all the time.

Next was the Warrior Series Skill, [Punching Fist].

This Skill would enrich Lin Mo’s combat options.

He now had Sword Techniques and Magic, so in theory, he was prepared for both close-quarters and long-range combat. However, he wielded a one-handed Sword. During a close-quarters brawl, if his Magic Power was depleted or it wasn’t a good time to use Magic, his empty left hand felt useless.
