29: Comprehend skills, nightmare copy!

【 You have comprehended the Sword Skill, Lightning Flash. 】

【 You have comprehended the Passive Skill, Energy Reduction. 】

【 You have comprehended the Skill, Adhesion. 】

After the lightning dissipated and the room returned to normal, Xia Qi received a series of notifications.

“This is the power of Lucky!”

Xia Qi was secretly delighted, never expecting that a simple job change would allow him to enter a mysterious Epiphany state.

【 Sword Skill: Lightning Flash 】

【 Effect: Instantly condense the power of lightning throughout your body, rapidly advance to slay enemies, with Adhesion lightning damage, 10-second charge time. 】

【 Skill: Energy Reduction 】

【 Effect: All of your Spell-type skills consume ten percent less energy. 】

【 Skill: Adhesion 】

【 Effect: You can adhere elements to weapons and items. 】

The three skills each had their own merits, all of them rare and excellent.

However, what surprised Xia Qi was that he had originally only wanted to quietly be a Mage, but unexpectedly comprehended a Sword Skill.

The power of Sword Skills was self-evident, and moreover, Xia Qi also possessed the A-Rank Talent of Sword Heart Clarity, which would amplify the damage of any Sword Skill.

“It seems I still need to get some weapons.”

His thoughts returned, and Xia Qi looked at the job changer, only to see that the job changer, who had originally seemed somewhat indifferent, now had a face full of shock, and even a hint of fear.

“No, what did you do? It’s like an explosion.”

Looking at the job changer, whose hair stood up like a hedgehog and looked somewhat comical, Xia Qi asked in surprise.

“Don’t come over here, there’s electricity!”

Seeing Xia Qi trying to approach, the job changer quickly pressed herself against the corner of the wall, trembling as she spoke.

If her Rank wasn't high enough, she would have been electrocuted numb by now.

“Then can I leave?”

“The door is over there, you can go yourself.”

“Okay.”

Since the job change was complete, Xia Qi had no intention of staying and directly left the job change hall.

As for the Mage job changer, he was very sorry, but he had no other way to comfort her; he believed she could handle it herself.

Only after Xia Qi left did the job changer recover her senses.

Looking at the ravaged job change room, she wanted to cry but had no tears. If the guild's building wasn't relatively safe, it would probably have been destroyed by now.

That man was too terrifying; with a hundred percent elemental resonance, his future achievements in the Mage path would definitely reach the Peak.

He arrived at the East City wilderness with practiced ease.

Along the way, Xia Qi hummed a little tune, feeling quite good.

“Perhaps cultivating both Sword and Spell isn't impossible.”

Even among melee professions, Swordsmen were a top-tier profession, incredibly powerful, not at all inferior to the noble Mages.

Moreover, melee professions also had their advantages.

Low energy consumption, capable of both offense and defense. Even if energy ran out, they could continue leveling. As long as the Awakened had enough stamina, they wouldn't fear not being able to kill monsters.

“It seems this has already set my future direction for me. A hexagonal warrior, is that what it means?”

Only then did Xia Qi realize that Congenital Double Pupils might not be a Talent, but rather his Golden Finger from his Transmigration.

This was also why his full attributes were stacked with each Rank up.

“It doesn’t matter. What happens in the future is still unclear. Let’s first see today’s situation before considering it.”

There was no need to overthink it. Xia Qi only needed to quickly Rank up and lay a solid foundation for himself.

As he moved further away from the city gates, the Rank of the wild monsters nearby gradually increased.

Rank 12 Firebirds.

Rank 13 Five-Step Snakes.

Along the way, there were also many professional teams killing monsters and Ranking up in the wilderness. Xia Qi ignored them and headed directly to his target for today, the Zombie Mine.

The Rank 14 dungeon, Zombie Mine, had a dense number of monsters and higher experience point bonuses.

Compared to wild monsters, farming dungeons was more cost-effective.

As he got closer to the Zombie Mine, he saw more and more professionals along the way.

On the path to the dungeon, the wild monsters were basically cleared out.

Soon, Xia Qi arrived near the dungeon.

This was a vortex similar to the Twisted Jungle, just with a different color.

“Normal difficulty, need a strong warrior, team has a healer.”

“Normal difficulty, new players welcome, no class restrictions, but resource distribution is at the captain’s discretion.”

“Rank 20 professional leading, experienced driver leading Elite difficulty, entry requirements private message.”

“All A-Rank Talent, leading Hard difficulty, masters abundant, come join us.”

....

dungeon difficulties were divided into Normal, Elite, Hard, and nightmare. Near the dungeon entrance, hundreds of professionals were recruiting teammates.

Yesterday, the Twisted Jungle Xia Qi cleared was on Normal difficulty. Today, Normal difficulty no longer satisfied him.

Just like last time, many teams offered Xia Qi an olive branch, but upon seeing Xia Qi wearing a Mage emblem, they instantly lost interest.

Xia Qi, who had no intention of teaming up with others anyway, was glad to be left alone. It seemed the Mage profession wasn't very well-regarded.

This also suited Xia Qi's intentions, saving him from being bothered by others.

He arrived before the dungeon entrance and checked the dungeon information.

The Rank 14 Zombie Mine was very suitable for Rank 15-20 professionals to Rank up.

The Normal difficulty here was much stronger than wild monsters, providing ample experience, and could be entered repeatedly.

There were also many Ores in the mine. If one was Lucky enough to find rare Ores, one jin could sell for tens of thousands, making it very cost-effective.

This was also why many professionals, even after reaching Rank 20s, were still willing to stay in this dungeon.

Compared to fighting Advanced monsters in their Rank 20s, they wouldn't earn much more money, and it wasn't as good as here.

This was why many Awakened were still in their Rank 20s, or at most Rank 30s, after two or three years.

Awakened not only needed to Rank up but also required a large amount of money as capital, otherwise, relying on the slight increase in strength from Ranking up...

When encountering increasingly stronger monsters, they wouldn't even be able to save their own lives.

Of course, this was a matter after Rank 20; at least before Rank 20, it was collectively referred to as the novice period.

During the novice period, Ranking up was still very important.

“Little brother, I see no team wants you. Are you willing to come with us? Ten thousand yuan, we’ll take you through, you don’t have to do anything.”

Seeing Xia Qi standing alone at the dungeon entrance, someone ran over and whispered.

“If you think ten thousand yuan is too expensive, eight thousand yuan is fine too.”

“You look like a newcomer, right? Fifty thousand, fifty thousand yuan and we’ll take you through once.”

“This is already the lowest price. You won’t find such a good deal anywhere else.”

There were also many such power-leveling teams here.

However, Xia Qi completely ignored them.

After checking the dungeon information, he directly selected nightmare difficulty.

【 Please confirm if you wish to select nightmare difficulty. 】

“Confirm!”

Xia Qi was teleported into the dungeon.

“Holy crap, he went into the dungeon alone?!”

“No way, a newcomer Mage wants to solo it? A bit arrogant.”

“Let me see what difficulty he just chose. Normal difficulty still has a chance.”

“What difficulty did he choose?”

“Awesome, that kid chose nightmare difficulty!”
