The Truth of Magic

Chapter 58 Knowledge and Skills

Many magic items have a price but no market. There is a market price, but you have no way to buy it, and you may not be able to get it even if the price is increased.

Generally, adventurers prefer to accept the tasks issued by the "Mage Association" and the Church of the Gods. In addition to the high rewards, the main reason is that they can finally obtain the qualification to purchase certain magic items through the accumulation of contribution points.

Zhao Xu couldn't buy a dimensional bag in his previous life, and even some classmates who were stronger and richer than him couldn't do anything about it, and sometimes they couldn't buy it at double the premium.

So for the first time, Zhao Xu felt a sense of relief when he touched this kind of magic item with dimensional space.

In the next year, it will be very rare for players to have a dimensional bag, let alone get it within half a month of opening the server.

"Teacher, this is too expensive, isn't it good?" Zhao Xu said politely.

"It's only 2000 gp, what's so valuable. And I made it, and the cost is less than 1000 gp." Antinoya said.

"Production?" Zhao Xu asked hurriedly.

"You want to too?" Sensing the sense of urgency in Zhao Xu's tone, Antinoya asked.

"Curiosity, curiosity." Zhao Xu rubbed his head.

He must want to.

Even if he wears magic items all over his body, he still has all kinds of family and friends.

If he could create these magic items by himself, the number one player might not be enough, but the number one local tyrant would definitely deserve his name.

"The feat of 'Making Strange Objects' and the spell of 'Leomeng's Secret Chest', if you have mastered both, you will be able to make this convenience bag."

"But it's not necessary. Creation takes time, not to mention, you have to consume your own abilities." Antinoya said slowly.

"Ability?" Zhao Xu heard of it for the first time.

In the previous life forum, the senior mage players who knew about magic creations were all secretive and secretive, and they didn't make people feel oily at all.

"Slow down the upgrade. Even if you build more, you can directly downgrade." Antinoya said.

Hearing this, Zhao Xu almost vomited blood.

To actually have to deduct experience points, isn't this playing with fire and setting yourself on fire?

But when I think about it, isn't this convenience bag in my hand also condensed Antinoya's experience points?

"Don't look at me like that, or I guarantee you will regret it." Antinoya said slowly, "There are some specialties that can reduce the loss, and cooperative creation can also share the loss."

"More importantly, creation is a hobby. Even if I create a legendary monster with a million GP, ​​I may not be downgraded. Do you think this 2000 GP thing will affect me?"

Hearing this, Zhao Xu also knew that he was thinking too much.

The depth of a legendary mage like Antinoya was beyond his guess.

"Also, if you want to create things in the future, you don't have to worry about it, you can take the shortcut of wishing."

Zhao Xu's eyes widened.

Thinking of the day that Antinoya casually performed a wish technique to make gold coins for him, they could actually be used to make magic items.

In this way, Antinoya can still patiently use his expertise to create things, it's really just to cultivate his sentiment.

"The convenience bag contains some of your future supplies. You can take a look at it later. Don't talk about it, let's get to the point and teach you skills first." Antinoya said.

Hearing these words, Zhao Xu was almost moved to tears, and finally reached the last step.

After half a month of training, he finally made it to the last skill level.

"How many skill points do you have?" Antinoya said.

Zhao Xu glanced at the information panel.

[Skill points: 40=[6 (monastic priest) +3 (intelligence adjustment) +1 (human)]*4]

"40 o'clock."

"That's enough." Antinoya nodded in satisfaction.

Arthur's skill points, every time he upgrades, he can get rewards from three aspects: occupation, intelligence adjustment, and race.

Level 1 players are directly counted as 4 times, and the remaining skill points in these three aspects will be re-acquired every time they upgrade.

Zhao Xu's mage profession was only 2 points.

But he is a double elite group of tall, rich and handsome, and he can use whoever is taller, mage or priest.

The remaining 1 point is considered to be from the race bonus of human beings themselves.

"What do you think skill points are?" Antinoya turned around and asked, "There are rewards."

Zhao Xu was about to answer, but stopped when he heard the second half of the sentence.

When ordinary players hear this question, they simply answer that by investing in skill points, they can strengthen their abilities in that area.

But Zhao Xu had ten years of experience, and he knew very well that the cause and effect relationship was reversed.

After Zhao Xu took a slow and deep breath, he calmed down.

Many players don't understand the current usage and meaning of skill points, and many even put them aside and ignore them.

Some are wondering how sometimes they can use up points and sometimes they can't.

Only when the players are stuck and unable to advance to level 2 will they go back and deal with these skill points.

Zhao Xu knew the answer, but he couldn't say it so directly.

There is no official statement in the forum now, otherwise Antinoya would not have asked him.

He seemed to feel that Arthur's thirty-five skills were concentrating in circles in his mind at the moment.

He organized his thoughts a little bit, and returned: "Skill points are potentials that can be exchanged for talents."

"Huh? Continue talking?" Antinoya became interested.

"The talent of each of us is fixed and cannot be determined. Some people are good at long jumps, and some are good at hand skills. However, after becoming a professional character and obtaining the character card system, we can allocate skill points—"

"Let's get that talent and get to a certain height."

"That's right, as far as I know, you players haven't realized it yet. You do have some kind of terrible intuition." Antinoya continued to praise.

Hearing this, Zhao Xu breathed a sigh of relief and got the reward.

In his previous life, when he started the game, everyone basically warned him to allocate his skill points well.

That determined every aspect of his life, so he always remembered it clearly.

"Strictly speaking, skill points allow you to exchange for talents through hard work."

"The level of skill determines your level of that ability. Crafts, performances, and animal domestication are all the same."

"Through hard work, you can successfully consume skill points, so that he can broaden your talent and allow you to reach a deeper realm."

Zhao Xu nodded. He couldn't point skill points by himself. For example, if he wanted to point his skills to "forgery documents", he could only determine the direction first, and then accumulate enough proficiency by continuously forging documents. Successfully consumed and turned into his real ability.

"Next, you only need to consume your 40 skill points, and you can become a teacher."

Hearing this, Zhao Xu took a deep breath.

"Teacher, what skills should I practice?"

"Let's practice spell recognition, concentration, and knowledge first, and you can click on level 1 first."

"Mentor, what kind of knowledge is it?" Zhao Xu had a bad guess.

"Mystery, religion, geography, history, places, nature, planes, dungeons, architecture and engineering, nobles and royal families, let's go first, and the unpopular ones first."

Zhao Xu resisted the feeling of complaining. These are not three skills, but thirteen skills.

"Then, mentor, how can we exercise these knowledge and skills?"

"Nonsense, read a book."
