One skill point per second, I turn fireballs into forbidden spells.

Chapter 57 Breakthrough: Spirit Crystal Acquired! Lightning Skill Book!

Are you sure you want to exchange it for money?

"I must remind you that, in terms of pure value, 1000 tradable skill points can be exchanged for money, but cannot buy 1000 skill points!"

Lin Yi certainly understood this principle.

But for him, money was far more valuable than those 1000 skill points.

Lin Yi nodded and said, "I'm sure."

Li Yuanjing glanced at Lin Yi again.

He quickly realized that even though the child had already achieved first place in the province, he seemed to have overlooked a crucial point.

That's his background!

They come from a fifth-tier base city like Jiangcheng.

He himself had no family background.

He must have put in countless times more effort than ordinary people, plus some extraordinary encounters, to achieve what he has today!
How difficult it is for an ordinary professional to rely solely on themselves without depending on others.

He couldn't empathize.

But I can understand it.

Li Yuanjing had even imagined that Lin Yi's family was extremely poor, and that the boy was planning to earn more money to help support his family.

He took a deep breath and then said, "Well then, according to the relevant regulations of our Great Xia Treasury, if you don't want the skill points and want to exchange them for Great Xia coins, you will definitely suffer a loss."

“The loss was about 20%, but today I’m making up for that 20% out of my own pocket.”

"Your 1000 tradable skill points can be exchanged for approximately 535 million Great Xia coins, which will be deposited into your account along with the 100 million student grant later!"

"Alright, now there's one more reward you can choose. Take a look at the list, and let me know when you've decided, and I'll have someone pick it up right away."

As they spoke, Li Yuanjing led Lin Yi to a treasure vault window.

There were no staff members at this window, only a spirit crystal.

He swiped his deputy director's access card at the spirit crystal sensor, and the spirit crystal screen lit up the next moment.

He clicked a few more times, set the filter function on the treasure list interface, set the tier to level 2 and above, and stepped aside so that Lin Yi could view it himself.

Lin Yi walked to the light screen, touched the list with his finger, and swiped up and down.

He was then struck by how precious the items on the list were.

First of all, the breakthrough to the Magic Crystal that Lin Yi had been longing for was right on this list.

Although the rating is also T2, you can get 3 at a time, which is more than enough to unlock your Necromancer side skill tree.

Besides this, Lin Yi also saw many wonderful things that he had never seen or even heard of before.

【Attribute Magic Crystal (Spirit)】

Grade: Gold

[Type: Disposable Consumable]

[Use: Grants you a random 5-10 points of Spirit attribute.]

[Note: The maximum attribute value you can obtain from attribute crystals of this grade is 999 points. Once this limit is exceeded, attribute crystals of this grade will no longer be effective for you.]

According to Lin Yi's notes, this thing is a highly processed product made by combining the magic crystal technology that the human race on Blue Star has excavated from the abyss with the spiritual treasures of heaven and earth, that is, rare and precious materials, and finally through alchemy.

It can even directly give attribute points!

Besides magic crystals, which can increase attribute points.

Lin Yi also saw a special magic crystal that could increase critical hit rate and casting speed!
However, both of these magic crystals are only of bronze grade, and the increase in attributes, such as critical hit rate, is only 0.05%.

Therefore, T1-level treasures should have magic crystals of a higher grade.

There might even be magic crystals that reduce skill cooldowns.

It was indeed a good product; even Lin Yi was a little envious.

In addition to various magic crystals with different functions, Lin Yi also saw a large number of spiritual items that would provide permanent bonuses.

There are also various scrolls.

These scrolls can increase the experience points gained by professionals.

Some of them are also entry passes for certain rare resource instances.

Lin Yi even saw equipment at the end of the list!
And all of these equipment are at least Platinum level!

It provides high attribute bonuses and has great special effects.

However, these equipment items are not permanently obtained after selection. The usage period is clearly indicated on the label!

That's right, this equipment is for rent!

After you make the selection, you will be granted a one-month usage period, and your information will be recorded in the Daxia State-owned Equipment Management System. If anything goes wrong, you will still be held accountable.

Furthermore, if it is damaged, compensation will be required at the original price.

Lin Yi shook his head; he would never be such a fool.

The items at the end of the list are less cost-effective.

Besides renting equipment, Lin Yi also saw many engineering creations, such as portable fragmentation mines capable of producing large-scale explosions.

There are also various highly effective medicinal mixtures, all of which have a duration of effect.

After reviewing the entire list, Lin Yi finally decided to prioritize obtaining the Breakthrough Magic Crystal.

This thing is extremely important to him.

After hearing Lin Yi's final choice.

Li Yuanjing gave him an expression that said, "I didn't expect this."

"Most people, like you, chose to break through to the magic crystal."

"Keep it up! If you can get a good ranking in the fifth round, the official Da Xia government will also give you a reward."

Li Yuanjing had his men retrieve the breakthrough crystal and personally delivered it to Lin Yi.

It was a wooden box.

Lin Yi opened the box and saw three crystal-clear magic crystals inside, shimmering with a faint deep red light and surrounded by black energy.

Breakthrough Magic Crystal

Grade: Diamond

[Type: Disposable Consumable]

[Effect 1: Unlocks a side skill tree.]

[Effect 2: Increases the level of one of your skills by 1 tier.]

[Effect 3: Before entering the Abyss dungeon, sacrifice a certain number of these items to increase the difficulty of the Abyss dungeon by one level.]

[Note: Only one of the above effects can be active at a time during a single use.]

Lin Yi was somewhat surprised.

Unexpectedly, breaking through to the Magic Crystal has another special effect: it increases the difficulty of the Abyss Dungeon.

From this perspective, the value of my title, "Conqueror of the Abyss," is immeasurable!
This effectively saved him a huge amount of money on breaking through to the magic crystal.

After all, once I level up, I'll be spending most of my time in the Abyss dungeons.

Greater difficulty means greater rewards.

"Alright, there's one last reward you can choose, which is a skill book. Pick one and take it."

Li Yuanjing adjusted the treasure vault's light screen, and the next moment, a list of skill books for the mage class appeared in front of Lin Yi.

This was the first time Lin Yi had ever heard of the fact that there were so many types of elemental specializations within the mage class.

Fire, Wind, Ice, Water, Earth...

These are some of the more common element systems.

Therefore, all the skill books in the skill book list are of tier three.

Otherwise, it wouldn't deserve its T2 rarity.

In addition, Lin Yi also saw some relatively rare elemental types.

[Light], [Dark], [Lightning], [Wood]

The only thing missing was the Necromancer skill that he had already acquired.

It seems that necromancy skill books are even rarer than those of elemental skills.

I was incredibly lucky back then!
After much deliberation, Lin Yi finally chose the lightning element.

There is no other reason.

He simply felt that the Thunder King was very prestigious!
