39: Chapter 39 Skill Evolution Scroll

Tu Xiaoxia understood instantly.

She raised her shovel high and dug fiercely into the ground, muttering under her breath.

"Hmph! Shameless jerk, I'll dig you to death! Dig you to death!"

Tang Mo: ...

Once the hole was dug, Tu Xiaoxia simply lay down inside; after all, she didn't need to lift a finger.

Before long, the dungeon boss turned into a pile of white bones once again.

Outside the dungeon, the figures of Tang Mo and Tu Xiaoxia reappeared.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay.

Tu Xiaoxia walked straight past Tang Mo, her intention clear: she would no longer continue clearing dungeons with him.

Although she really wanted to keep running purgatory difficulty dungeons.

Having only run it twice with Tang Mo, she had already leveled up three times—a speed she wouldn't have dared to dream of.

But Tang Mo was truly too detestable, he actually... actually...

Seeing Tu Xiaoxia leave, Tang Mo didn't mention continuing either.

After all, dungeon entrance tickets were quite expensive, and Tang Mo felt bad about making her keep spending money.

With more than half a month left until the Unified Examination, Tang Mo was already level 20, so entering Xiafu University shouldn't be a problem.

"Perhaps it's time to ask the principal about skill evolution and advancement."

Thinking this, Tang Mo didn't linger and headed straight away from the Undead Mountain Dungeon.

He needed to sell his excess equipment and materials to the association first, then buy an advanced skill secret tome.

Tang Mo's luck was good today; five dungeon runs yielded a total of five bone crowns.

That was equivalent to 500,000 gold coins and 50 association contribution points.

Gold coins were secondary; Tang Mo had earned quite a bit from selling equipment last night.

The main thing was the association contribution points.

For Tang Mo, this seemed to be the only way to raise his association clearance level.

Arriving at the Jiangkou City Professional Management Association, Tang Mo went straight to Su Xintian and handed the bone crowns to her.

Although he could have handed them directly to the task management staff, Tang Mo clearly remembered...

Su Xintian had promised that if Tang Mo sold more than 300,000 gold coins' worth of materials to the association, he would be rewarded with 30 contribution points.

The bone crown itself was a type of material, so it should naturally count.

Su Xintian naturally wouldn't forget what she had said just last night, and she fulfilled her promise to Tang Mo with a smile.

As a manager of the Jiangkou City Professional Management Association, she had that much authority.

"May I ask you some questions regarding skill evolution?"

Tang Mo had originally planned to ask the principal, but then he thought that if skill evolution required materials, the people at the Professional Management Association should know best.

Su Xintian was clearly taken aback; she hadn't expected Tang Mo to suddenly ask her such a question.

However, after their interactions over the past few days, Su Xintian's impression of Tang Mo wasn't bad.

One could say he was one of the few people who earned association contribution points through their own hard work.

Although the association had regulations that such information couldn't be disclosed before a professional badge's clearance reached the appropriate level.

But Su Xintian still decided to reveal some information to Tang Mo.

She nodded and then said with a smile,

"Whether they are skills inherent to a Professional after their class change or skills learned later, they can all be evolved and advanced."

"Generally, a skill must reach its maximum level before it can be evolved, and it can only be advanced after the evolution is complete."

"This is true for all skills."

"The level cap for common-grade skills is level 20, and common-grade skills can only be evolved once and cannot be advanced."

"The level cap for rare-grade skills is level 40. They can be evolved twice, and only after both evolutions are complete can they be advanced once. rare-grade skills can only undergo one advancement."

"legendary-grade skills have a level cap of level 80 and can be evolved three times. After the evolutions are finished, they can also undergo two advancements."

"epic-grade skills have a level cap of level 160 and can be evolved four times. Correspondingly, after the evolutions are finished, they can also undergo three advancements."

Su Xintian paused and then continued,

"Let's talk about skill evolution first."

"The materials required for skill evolution vary for different classes."

"For those common-grade classes, their skills are mostly the same, so the materials needed for their skill evolution are easy to gather."

"They are even sold in our association."

"The situation for rare-grade classes is much the same."

"But for legendary-grade classes and hidden classes, it's not that easy."

"Because their methods of obtaining skills are quite limited and the skills they get are highly randomized, the materials needed for skill evolution are very uncertain."

"If a legendary-grade or hidden class Professional wants to evolve a skill, they probably need to hire a Professional Skill Appraiser first to identify the skill and see what materials are needed for evolution."

"However, the materials required for skill evolution for all classes come from secret realms."

"Different secret realms correspond to skills of different attributes."

"Of course, there is a shortcut for legendary-grade and hidden classes, and that is the skill evolution scroll."

"However, this item only drops in purgatory difficulty secret realms, and even the association rarely has them for sale."

"You should know that the difficulty of a purgatory difficulty secret realm is several times that of a purgatory difficulty dungeon; most people find it very difficult to clear."

"Furthermore, secret realms are also divided into grades. The higher the grade of the secret realm, the greater the difficulty, but the better the items produced."

"Correspondingly, the drop rates for skill evolution scrolls and advancement scrolls will be higher."

"The more times a skill is evolved and advanced, the more powerful it becomes."

"This is also why almost all Professionals do everything they can to learn high-quality skills."

Although Su Xintian's detailed explanation didn't include God-level Skills, it was a sudden revelation for Tang Mo.

It seemed that to evolve skills, going to a secret realm was a must.

Tang Mo had also heard people talk about secret realms before.

The difficulty of a secret realm of the same level was indeed much higher than that of a dungeon.

However, it wouldn't stop Tang Mo.

A purgatory difficulty dungeon was just a piece of cake for him; even if a purgatory difficulty secret realm was much harder than a dungeon, Tang Mo was confident he could clear it.

Tang Mo immediately asked Su Xintian about purchasing a Secret Realm Key, but was told that a Secret Realm Key required the clearance of an intermediate professional badge.

professional badges are divided into junior professional badges, intermediate professional badges, senior professional badges, and supreme professional badges based on their clearance level.

Tang Mo's professional badge was only junior level; to buy a Secret Realm Key, he needed at least intermediate professional badge clearance.

Upgrading from junior to intermediate required ten thousand association contribution points!

After days of unremitting effort, Tang Mo had only obtained 130 association contribution points.

To save up ten thousand points, it would probably take at least a hundred days.

Of course, association contribution points could also be exchanged for gold coins.

One million gold coins for 10 contribution points.

Tang Mo grimaced upon hearing that and thought, never mind.

Once he entered university, these things should be exchangeable through the school.

So, after buying one advanced skill secret tome, Tang Mo got up and headed home.
