Chapter 82: Chapter 79 Your idea is very good, but now it's mine!
Why is it that the native inhabitants who take on the role of Scroll Scholars are generally unable to maximize the power of this profession?
There is a simple reason: the natives cannot control the direction in which they assign attribute points.
Their attribute allocation after leveling up is influenced by both the profession they have chosen and their routine training direction, resulting in different directions for assigning points.
But Kael is different.
The attributes he gains upon leveling up can be controlled and directed by himself.
This means that he is theoretically capable of maximizing the power of "Dark Knowledge".
For instance, he has now put all his attribute points into intelligence, instantly boosting it from 5.9 to 11.9.
This signifies that Kael's intelligence attribute has entered the second phase of transcendence, allowing him to choose two intelligence attribute development branches.
His first transcendence phase in intelligence refreshed the following branch options:
[1. Tunneling Effect - Your spells and spell-like abilities will to some extent ignore the enemy's defense]
[2. Enhanced Casting - The effects of your spells and spell-like abilities will be somewhat enhanced]
[3. Thought Acceleration - Your thought processes will speed up, allowing you to cast spells faster in combat]
Of course, since he chose to be a Scroll Scholar, Kael wouldn't miss any branches that could strengthen the Scroll Scholars.
[Thought Acceleration]get√
And in the second transcendence phase of intelligence, the refreshed branch options are:
[1. Enhanced Casting - The effects of your spells and spell-like abilities will be somewhat enhanced]
[2. Mana Touch - When you use spells and spell-like abilities that require mana as a component, the skill effect will be strengthened]
[3. Wide Learning and Strong Memory - Your memory will improve, and upon acquiring corresponding knowledge, your skill experience points accumulation speed for related skills will accelerate]
Without a word, [Wide Learning and Strong Memory]get√
To most players, this entry, [Wide Learning and Strong Memory], is somewhat superfluous.
After all, directly adding points to intelligence doesn't typically improve players' memory, and the only particularly useful aspect is the ability to accelerate the accrual of skill experience points through learning related knowledge.
In the early stages of the game, many Mage players who chose this branch felt as if they had been swindled.
That was until a genius gamer emerged among the Mage players...
Gamer Wutong, in Kael's second year participating in the professional league, shattered the championship dreams of another club, the Strange Power Chaos God.
He was also one of the strongest contenders for the title of "World's Number One Mage" among the players.
This player, who barely made an effort in reality yet got into a prestigious university, was virtually unknown in the first two versions after the game's public beta.
But starting from version 3.0, he rose to prominence with unstoppable momentum, rapidly becoming one of the top Mages in the game, for a time even without equal.
All this was due to the entry [Wide Learning and Strong Memory].
Thinking of this, Kael's tail shook with irritation!
Player Wutong was odd.
While others were slaying monsters, he was in the library reading books.
While others were completing quests, he was in the library reading books.
While others were going through dungeons and following the plot, he was in the library reading books.
Other players simply flip through books and tend to forget what they've read as soon as they turn their heads, but this guy really dares to take the time to remember it!
After Wutong, like a Sweeping Monk, delved into learning magic knowledge in the library for two years (real-world time), the one who emerged again could be said to be "achieved great mastery"!
"Vast Knowledge, Strong Memory" The effect of enhancing memory was useless for him? No worries, his memory was exceptionally good to begin with.
Normally, even if a player's professional skills could gain Skill Experience Points by constantly casting, once the skills reached a certain level, they couldn't be leveled up without using skill points.
Even players engaged in intense combat had to invest multiple skill points into their main skills in order to elevate their combat power to higher levels.
But Wutong was different!
An extreme focus on Intelligence attributes + his own incredible memory + enduring the loneliness of memorizing magic knowledge for two years created a chemical reaction that resulted in an earth-shattering transformation of Wutong's professional skills—
All skills had just one skill point added, and the rest of the skill levels were all due to his exceptionally high Intelligence value and the automatic triggering effect of "Vast Knowledge, Strong Memory."
In anyone else's case, this Mage character would have been played into collapse.
Theoretically, if he were to continue learning in this manner, one day he would possess a number of skills that could only be described as outrageous.
Keep in mind that in his previous life, because he constantly triggered the effect of "Vast Knowledge, Strong Memory" due to his memory, even his worst skill levels were on the heels of the top-tier players.
The player community even joked at one point that the limit of the blue bar was the limit of Wutong.
Upon this Kael smiled faintly.
Your idea is good, but now this idea is mine.
Can't improve learning speed with all-Intelligence attributes? "Dark Knowledge" can't play to its fullest? "Vast Knowledge, Strong Memory" can't enhance memory for players?
Those are the players' problems, what does that have to do with me, Kael?
For the natives, an increase in Intelligence doesn't completely equate to enhancing memory and logical capabilities, but it still has an impact, to some extent, and it goes without saying for someone with extreme points in Intelligence and selected specific entries like Kael.
Is having a System panel that impressive?
Sorry, having a System panel is indeed impressive!
So, when faced with the bishop, he gladly agreed.
That's right, you're correct, from now on I am a loyal and reliable knowledge enthusiast, a hundred times more passionate than those with addiction!
It seemed as if the Old Bishop sensed Kael's greedy desire for knowledge in his eyes, and his smile became even more amiable, saying, "It's truly gratifying to have a new companion join us on this path of seeking knowledge."
Kael chuckled lightly and told him, "No, being bathed in the brilliance of knowledge is actually an honour for me.
Whether as a Scroll Scholar or someone desiring a breakthrough on the path of spellcasters, knowledge is the loyal partner that will accompany me all my life.
I've come today also for this matter, to communicate further with you."
The Old Bishop nodded and said, "I have looked at the proposal you sent through a messenger before, and it is indeed a project worth trying.
However, I still need time to wait for the conclusion of the investigation. If this model can be replicated in Joy Streets everywhere, that would indeed be wonderful..."
"Of course, I look forward to your good news, and if the investigation results are pleasing, does that mean we have reached a consensus between us?"
The Bishop of the Church of the God of Literature revealed a smile that seemed to say that was as it should be and extended his hand towards Kael, saying, "Then, Mr. Kael, from here on we will be allies in the same camp."
Kael nodded in agreement and brought up another matter:
"Speaking of which, I wonder if Your Grace is aware that the Earth Mother Goddess Church is planning to join forces with the Mage Academy to launch a series of recruitment efforts for the Undead on my territory soon.
If the Church of the God of Literature is interested, I can act as a bridge for communication between you and both parties."
Kael's mouth curled up slightly, revealing his true intentions.
