[Update Announcement: Skill System!]

After relentless effort from the "Scourge OL" development team, the skill system has finally been implemented! The residents of the Great Graveyard can now use skills!

Players who meet the requirements to learn skills can go to the NPC store to purchase Skill Books.

Note: Skill Books have no physical form; upon purchase, they are automatically used! The method of release is detailed in the instruction video!]

Demon King Territory, NPC store.

Standing behind the counter, Sarah once again successfully suppressed a yawn coming to her lips, but the teardrops hanging at the corner of her eyes and her drooping beast ears already betrayed her accumulated fatigue of the day.

Although Lord Demon King had tasked her to act as a sales clerk, her job was basically just to stand there.

She couldn't understand a word these skeletons were saying.

She hadn't even realized at first that the creaking noises were actually their way of communicating.

Moreover, it seemed that they paid through telepathy, not even requiring cash transactions.

All she needed to do was to bring over whatever they needed based on whether the Demon Crystals on the table glowed or not.

However, even if the job was boring, it was much better than living a nomadic life outside.

The only downside was that the servants of Lord Demon King looked a bit scary, but she got used to it after a while.

Anyway, to live up to the skewers gifted by Lord Demon King, she still brought out the necessary enthusiasm—

At least.

She couldn't fall asleep during working hours!

Just as Sarah was slapping her face with her palm for the third time, the two skeleton soldiers standing uncertainly in front of the counter, seemed to have finally made a decision.

"Have you decided? You really want to learn this skill?" Hu Wan asked Yiye Zhiqu seriously.

Although the game did not officially restrict the number of skills a player could learn, and theoretically, learning both warrior and Mage skills was feasible, there was a deadly trap here.

That would be the attribute point allocation rules!

Take warriors as an example.

According to the official forum, most skills based on the "Dragon God system"—which are traditional warrior skills—consume a small amount of MP and a moderate amount of HP when used.

In this game, HP doesn't just represent health points; it's more akin to a combination of vitality and physical strength.

In other words, "Health Points."

Running out of HP won't directly kill them, but it will completely incapacitate them, leaving them in a dying state.

Equivalent to running out of stamina!

Therefore, for a warrior, prioritizing Constitution to enhance their battle endurance is essential, and increasing strength is necessary to boost single skill damage!

Mages are different, Intelligence and Spirit are their top priorities, and any investment in strength is a waste.

However, the contradiction lies here.

Earning experience through physical attacks and training one's physique ultimately results in attribute points being allocated to either Strength or Constitution!

Thus, when a player chooses a warrior's skill, they are likely to keep progressing further on this path.

Unless they completely abandon using that skill.

Hu Wan believed, if he could see this, Yiye Zhiqu couldn't possibly miss it.

However, Yiye Zhiqu's response was more nonchalant than he expected.

"Yeah, I've considered it."

As he spoke, he reached out and selected the payment button on the player interface.

The purchase was completed and the skill was automatically loaded into his skill tree.

[Skill Acquired: slashing!]

[Description: A common skill for adventurers! Accumulate "Extraordinary Power" and gather it in the form of "Qi" at the blade's edge! Once power is fully charged, swing forward forcefully to deal physical damage in the form of Qi to the area 1~2 meters in front of you! Damage value influenced by Strength attribute!]

[Minimum release requirement: Black Iron rank or above]

[Usage method: See the linked video]

This game is unexpectedly realistic.

To release a skill, not only do you have to silently recite the name of the skill and visualize its form, but you also need to mimic the video tutorial and even remember the mental method of the "Dragon God style" combat technique.

In essence, you visualize the Extraordinary Power as a form of Qi and channel it into your weapon.

Why bother?

Wouldn't automation be better?

However, for a technically oriented player like him, this could also be a good thing.

If the rhythm of the skill's "pre-motion" and "post-motion" can be decided by the player, then players with better awareness and skills can undoubtedly achieve a more powerful rhythm.

Yiye Zhiqu repeatedly watched the video in the skills page several times, carefully memorizing every detail.

I'll try it out in the labyrinth later!

Looking at the "silent" Yiye Zhiqu, Hu Wan suddenly felt a bit remorseful.

"I remember you wanted to be a Mage... ah, if it's just to carry me, it's really not necessary. I don't think being skill-less affects me much," he said.

Hearing this, Yiye Zhiqu was slightly startled and immediately realized his brother had misunderstood something, thus he said with a wry smile,

"No, it's really not about carrying you or anything, this is purely a personal decision after weighing the pros and cons."

Hu Wan: "Can I hear the reasons?"

Yiye Zhiqu did not hide anything and said with a smile,

"Think about it from another perspective. If I don't learn any skills and level up through basic attacks, the attributes I eventually enhance would also focus on the three physical attributes, right?"

"That's true... wait, would having skills make a difference?" Hu Wan looked at him bewildered, suddenly realizing something.
