227: Chapter 227 Double Jump Upgrade! Level 3!

Inside the main stockade.

An Ke sat in the seat of honor at the very top.

He shifted his buttocks, then couldn't help but shake his head with a sigh: "I really don't know what that previous patriarch was thinking."

This bone chair, composed of various animal bones, was a symbol of the Tribe's power.

But to be honest, it was too hard on the buttocks; An Ke didn't like it very much.

It wasn't comfortable to sit on at all.

However, he would endure it for the time being.

Collecting his thoughts, An Ke looked at his [National Fortune Game] system panel.

["Double Jump": LV.1.]

["Portable Space": LV.1.]

["Spider Foresight": LV.2.]

["Ocean Affinity Constitution" LV.1...

...]

"Right now, the three skills at the top give me the most benefit..."

After browsing the skills, An Ke spoke while stroking his chin.

Currently, he had 4 [all-purpose upgrade cards].

Upgrading each skill to "LV.2" required one [all-purpose upgrade card].

And upgrading from "LV.2" to "LV.3" required 2 all-purpose upgrade cards.

"If I choose to upgrade all skills to Level 2, I can upgrade 4 skills."

An Ke fell into thought.

However, just as he had thought before.

For An Ke right now, the most cost-effective ones were still the first three skills.

Namely [Double Jump], [Spider Foresight], and [Portable Space].

Earlier, when dealing with the dozen or so savages led by Savage Ding.

The greatest credit for An Ke being able to handle it with ease went to [Spider Foresight].

Every time, it helped An Ke know the opponent's attack path within the next 3 seconds.

Allowing him to dodge in advance or counterattack.

"In any case, let's first upgrade the two most cost-effective skills to Level 2."

An Ke decisively upgraded [Double Jump] and [Portable Space] to Level 2.

There wasn't much to say about [Portable Space] Level 2.

It simply expanded the original 50-square-meter space to 75 square meters.

Allowing An Ke to hold more things.

Hold more stones.

As for Double Jump, after upgrading to Level 2, its name also changed.

To be precise, two characters were added.

[Double Jump: Hover]!

After jumping, one could possess a 3-second hovering ability.

An Ke was somewhat curious.

He didn't know if he could hover for 3 seconds with every jump, or if he could only use the hovering ability after the second jump.

"Anyway, I'll know once I try it."

An Ke stood up from the bone chair.

Because the savages were massive, the roof of the Bamboo Village was very high.

Visually, it was about 10 meters high, maybe a bit lower.

But that wasn't important; what mattered was that it wouldn't restrict his performance.

An Ke began to experiment.

After standing up, he immediately performed a light leap.

After this battle, An Ke's [Endurance Proficiency] and [Strength Proficiency] levels had both increased.

This allowed his casual jump to almost catch up to his previous height.

While in mid-air, An Ke didn't continue jumping, but instead tried to see if he could make himself hover.

Unfortunately, it failed.

His body was still falling.

Without a word, An Ke kicked out with his foot once more.

It was as if there were an invisible floor in the void, allowing him to borrow force and leap high once again.

As he approached the highest point, in the gap where his body was about to fall, An Ke used the "Hover" ability again.

This time, it succeeded.

An Ke's body didn't continue to fall.

Instead, it stopped in mid-air.

It was as if he were suspended in mid-air.

After 3 seconds, An Ke finally began to fall again, eventually landing back on the ground.

Outside, in the live broadcast room.

The Dragon Country audience was marvelling.

"Did Boss An upgrade [Double Jump]?"

"Definitely, otherwise it would be impossible to hover for that long."

"The moment he stopped in the air just now, it was like the frame froze."

"So inconceivable!"

"Quick, someone help me! I can't hold down Newton's coffin lid anymore!!"

"Don't be afraid! Let him out, Dragon Country isn't under his jurisdiction."

"Actually, I've already gotten used to it over the past month or so.

Anything that happens to Boss An feels very reasonable."

"By the way, what would happen if [Double Jump] is upgraded again?"

"..."

Within the broadcast.

After trying out [Double Jump: Hover], An Ke also began to wonder what would happen if each skill was upgraded to Level 3.

So he looked at the [national fortune system].

["Portable Space" LV.2, upgrade requires 2 "all-purpose upgrade cards".

After upgrading to Level 3, the area can be expanded to 100 square meters.]

Quite mediocre.

An Ke gave his evaluation of the Level 3 [Portable Space].

In the wilderness, [Portable Space] was definitely a divine tool.

But the current area was already enough for An Ke to use.

So continuing to expand it didn't make much sense.

If upgrading it could allow An Ke to bring in living things, then he would upgrade it without hesitation.

Unfortunately, it didn't.

An Ke decided to keep looking down.

["Spider Foresight" LV.2, upgrade requires 2 "all-purpose upgrade cards".

After upgrading, foresight is further improved, allowing one to foresee everything 5 seconds later.]

"Compared to before, it's increased by 2 seconds."

An Ke stroked his chin and nodded slightly.

Don't look down on these two seconds.

In the current situation where everyone can be killed in one hit.

Any mistake could lead to eternal damnation.

Having an extra 2 seconds of foresight meant that An Ke's margin for error could be greatly improved.

Being able to foresee a fatal blow to oneself 5 seconds in advance and then making an evasion.

Just ask if that's terrifying or not.

And it could also be used to foresee danger to the animals around him.

Once he foresaw an animal dying 5 seconds later, he could also act in time to prevent the tragedy from happening.

An Ke licked his lips, somewhat wanting to use the final 2 [all-purpose upgrade cards] to upgrade [Spider Foresight].

However, he restrained the impulse and continued looking down.

["Double Jump: Hover" LV.2, upgrade requires 2 "all-purpose upgrade cards".]

[After upgrading, it becomes "Double Jump: Glide", allowing for a 10-second glide in the air.

During the glide, the direction can be actively changed once.]

A glide as long as 10 seconds?

And the direction can be changed once in mid-air?

This upgrade is a bit awesome!!

After reading the Level 3 skill description for [Double Jump], the terrifying nature of this skill surfaced in An Ke's mind.

An Ke had tested it before.

As long as there was any point to borrow force from after the [Double Jump].

An Ke's [Double Jump] could be refreshed.

That is, jumping once in the air.

Similarly, gliding could be used after the "Double Jump" was finished, meaning it would also refresh.

Doesn't that mean he could achieve...

A golden light flared deep in An Ke's eyes.

He decisively said to the [national fortune system]:

"Upgrade [Double Jump: Hover]!!"

[Do you want to spend 2 "all-purpose upgrade cards" to upgrade "Double Jump" to "Double Jump: Glide"?]

"Yes!!"

An Ke did not hesitate in the slightest.

[Upgrade complete!]

[Double Jump: Glide LV.3.]

Without another word, An Ke ran to the top of the bamboo stockade...

...
