56: Thank you, brother, thank you, sister, for the countless skill books

“Here’s the chicken you wanted.”

Qin Tian said, handing over the chicken he held.

“Kid, I’m serious. If you think you can buy me off with just this chicken, you’re really overthinking it. We NPCs all have rules, and rules are rules; they can’t be broken.”

The Berserker Instructor said, taking the chicken.

“Quest ‘Buy Chicken’ Completed. Berserker NPC Favorability +10000. Favorability reached maximum level, Unwavering.”

It worked.

Just as expected.

The Billion-Fold Upgrade talent had taken effect again.

A simple +10 favorability quest, after being upgraded by the talent, directly added ten thousand favorability points, instantly maxing out the favorability.

The initially cold-faced Berserker Instructor suddenly became incredibly excited, as if he had been injected with a stimulant, and instantly turned to look at Qin Tian.

“But then again, you and I are truly compatible. For your sake, I’ll make an exception this once. You can’t learn skills from me, but that’s alright. These are skill books for the Berserker class. Take them and read them as you please.”

The Berserker Instructor said, handing over more than a dozen Berserker skill books to Qin Tian.

His gaze towards Qin Tian was no longer indifferent; he looked like a long-lost brother.

“Thank you, Big Brother.”

Qin Tian didn’t stand on ceremony and accepted them all.

These skill books covered all the Berserker skills that could be learned here.

And most importantly, due to attribute restrictions, some skills might not be learnable now.

However, once the attributes were met later, he could learn them directly without having to find the corresponding skill instructor again.

It was very convenient.

“Berserker, are you crazy? Those are your most prized possessions, and you just gave them to him? Just because he gave you a chicken?”

The Archer Skill Instructor beside him was dumbfounded. He simply couldn’t believe that this was something the Berserker Skill Instructor would do.

He had a lot to say about this person’s stinginess.

Last time, he said he’d treat him to a movie, but when they got to the cinema, they spent the entire afternoon watching trailers in the lobby.

And now, Qin Tian had only given him a chicken, and he had given Qin Tian so many skill books.

Wasn’t this madness?

While the Archer Instructor was still confused, Qin Tian had already approached him and handed him a basket of peaches.

“These are for you.”

The Archer Skill Instructor took the peaches from Qin Tian’s hand and examined them carefully; they were just ordinary peaches.

“I’m not a lunatic like Berserker; I’m very rational. I would never give you Archer skill books just for a basket of peaches.”

Qin Tian didn’t speak, just smiled at the Archer Skill Instructor.

Just now, he had already received the quest completion notification.

Like the previous quest, it still directly added 10000 favorability points.

The favorability was still maxed out, reaching the highest level, Unwavering.

The Archer Skill Instructor, holding the peaches, trembled violently as if he had been electrocuted, then his expression towards Qin Tian became resolute.

“However, for the future of the Archer lineage, I am willing to give you all my private collection. I recognized your potential to become a transcendent Archer long ago. You must work hard to make the Archer profession flourish.”

The Archer Skill Instructor said, pulling out skill books for the Archer profession one by one and handing them all to Qin Tian.

“Thank you, Big Brother.”

Qin Tian still accepted everything.

He didn’t have time to learn them yet. He carried various small gifts and walked towards the skill instructors of other professions in the hall.

The skill instructors of other professions, looking at the smiling Qin Tian and recalling the bizarre actions of the Berserker and Archer skill instructors, all showed expressions of confusion and bewilderment, some even fear.

They worried if Qin Tian had some strange magic that caused these two to react so oddly.

“Don’t come over here!”

All the skill instructors of various professions roared in their hearts.

However, constrained by destiny itself, they couldn’t leave casually.

And they had already given Qin Tian the favorability quests, so they could only wait here for Qin Tian to approach them with the gifts they requested and liked.

“Great Mage, you go. Your intelligence is high. If he really has a bewitching skill, you definitely won’t be affected.”

The Mage Profession Skill Instructor was pushed out from the crowd.

He stood in front of Qin Tian, somewhat awkwardly, and cleared his throat: “Ignorant believer, the glory of the God of Magic will not shine upon a muggle.”

“Here’s the roasted duck you wanted.”

“Unless this muggle is an undiscovered genius, like you.”

The Mage Profession Skill Instructor handed over all his skill books.

“Here’s your apple.”

“Two barrels of soy sauce.”

“Yes, yes, internet cafe overnight pass.”

...

One by one, gifts were given out by Qin Tian, and all the skill instructors of every profession here received Qin Tian’s gifts.

Qin Tian was not disappointed.

All the favorability quests were affected by the Billion-Fold Upgrade talent.

Under the effect of this heaven-defying talent, quests that originally only added 10 favorability points.

After completion, all provided 10000 favorability points.

All the professional skill instructors now had Unwavering favorability with Qin Tian, the highest favorability relationship.

“With blood as surging as dragons and tigers, bearing thousands of catties of immense strength, if you don’t learn Defensive Warrior skills, it would simply be a huge loss for this profession.”

“Don’t rush to learn Defensive Warrior skills yet. Haven’t you heard that the best defense is offense? These are various Thief skills. I’ll tell you quietly, there’s even a rare skill book inside. If we hadn’t hit it off immediately, I wouldn’t have given it to you.”

“Healer, you understand, right? You’ve heard of Healer Dads too, right? You can have nothing, but you can’t be without healing. The skill books here cover all types: beneficial BUFFs, detrimental BUFFs, healing, damage reduction, acceleration, mana recovery. As long as you learn them, you’ll never have to worry about party formation for dungeons again.”

...

The hall became noisy again, but this time it was a quarrel for Qin Tian’s future.

The instructors of various professions, due to their exceptionally good relationship with Qin Tian, had a 180-degree change in their attitude towards him compared to before.

They all hoped that Qin Tian would fully learn the skills of their respective professions and stated that only Qin Tian could make their professions flourish.

Qin Tian, meanwhile, was saying “Thank you, Big Brother” on one side and “Thank you, Big Sister” on the other.

He took advantage of the heated argument among the skill instructors to leave.

He had acquired all the skill books, and he didn’t plan to learn just one type, but all of them.

After learning skills, continuous practice is required to upgrade proficiency.

Only by upgrading the skill level will the skill’s power reach its maximum.

Therefore, even if someone can learn many skills, they will only choose a portion for in-depth practice to quickly raise their skill levels.

As the saying goes, one specialized skill can conquer the world.

If one tries to practice everything, there simply isn’t enough time and energy.

It would result in knowing a little of everything but mastering nothing.

However, that was for others; Qin Tian, with the Billion-Fold Upgrade talent, had no such worries.

As long as he learned all skills, a few uses would immediately level them to maximum.

Skills were taken care of; next up was equipment.

Only by wearing equipment corresponding to the profession could the power of various professional skills be fully unleashed.

Qin Tian had already contacted Zhang Qiang in advance, and Zhang Qiang had just told him that everything was ready.

He just needed to go to the Thunder Guild to pick it up.
