Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 196 New Changes to the "Skill Bar"

The ability of the "Weird Man" made Star feel that he was able to do it again in an instant. Even if he had to face the group of fanatical believers of the Aurora Society later, he felt more confident and confident.

With a happy mood, he checked the changes in himself one by one.

First of all, the "skill bar" problem that Star has always been criticized for has finally been gloriously "evolved" during this "version update" when he was promoted to Sequence 6!

This is not because the number of Star's "skill columns" has been greatly increased. From now on, he no longer has to worry about which "skill" to learn first, and he can record those extraordinary abilities at will.

After all, after Star's upgrade this time, there were not many new "skill bars" unlocked.

Not to mention the low-sequence "skill bar", he hasn't even filled up half of the low-sequence "skill bar" yet.

Even if we take into account the "provocation" of the "provocateur" that Star somewhat likes, the "instigator"'s "instigation" ability (that is, the combination of his "persuasion" and "misleading" abilities), and the "thief"'s "misleading thinking" ability.

After learning all these low-sequence extraordinary abilities, Star still had more than half of his low-sequence "skill bar" left.

As for what he wanted to do with so many abilities that sounded a bit evil, Sta was just trying to satisfy his collecting habit and keep them as backup.

If these abilities were combined with his existing "teasing" abilities, the effect would be amazing.

It was as if I saw the scene in the future where the enemy gets "ignited" when I say "What's wrong with you" to him in battle.

Star still argued in his heart on the grounds of inheriting the fine tradition:
Really, he doesn't have any bad intentions.

Also, he is really not from the "Hunter" path.

At least not yet.

And he unlocked another "skill bar" of Sequence 5, and two "skill bars" belonging to Sequence 6 and Sequence 7 levels were unlocked at once.

Sta didn't know whether he would unlock more "skill bars" in the future, but at least after the "skill" ability was upgraded, he felt that his "skill bar" should be enough for some time to come.

In short, Star is now given the permission to "delete useless skills".

He can wash away the "skills" that he had previously learned just to increase his combat power, and replace them with abilities that are more useful or have unique effects.

For example, in terms of control, if he has the extraordinary ability of "Skill - Scream", he can replace "Skill - Dream Guide".

For example, in terms of attack, if he has the "Skill - Finger Gun", then the "Skill - Corrosion" that can only be effective in close combat can be deleted.

The same goes for "Skill - Frost".

There is also the "Skill - Blood Chant", a simple camouflage skill with only a little attack power. After Star can use the "Faceless Man" to control his own flesh and blood, of course he can delete it.

After all, when it comes to disguise, the ability of the "Faceless Man" is more useful.

As for the recovery effect from the "Rose Bishop" and "Flesh and Blood Magic", Sta no longer needed it because he had his own "Recovery Spell".

Moreover, after being able to control the deletion of his own skills, Star no longer has to worry about being attacked multiple times by the enemy with a certain extraordinary ability like the first battle with Mr. Z, and then having an extra "skill seed" in his body that is temporarily useless to himself, and it is a weakened version of the extraordinary ability, which will then occupy his precious "skill bar".

After thinking for a while, Star temporarily only washed away two abilities -

One is "Skill - Corrosion" and the other is "Skill - Blood Song".

As for the "Skill - Dream Guide", it can allow Star to develop a certain resistance and stay awake in the dream. Sometimes it also has a certain effect when combined with the "Nightmare Badge", so I chose to keep it.

After all, the control effect of the "Skill - Scream" does not distinguish between friend and foe, and will also control teammates nearby, unless he is also a "Ghost" and has resistance to this.

For example, Miss Messenger, Miss Sharon, and a certain "thief" or "black emperor" who has not yet been born.

However, Star feels that the last one will not appear again, or when it appears, it will be in another form?
Due to his influence, not only have some extraordinary people with some common sense noticed the convenience and fun of using "Masked Rider" as a vest or code name to cause trouble, but Klein also said after putting on the "mask" that if possible in the future, he would continue the style of this "Masked Rider".

Of course, this was also because he damaged the things that Star gave him during the battle, and he could not afford to compensate for the "mask" specially made by Star, so he had to accept the plan proposed by Star.

In short, after "deleting" the skills that were not needed, Star was in a good mood looking at his clean "skill bar" from the "reconnaissance" panel.

【STAR】

[Skill column:]

[Sequence 5 Level (1/2):]

[Skill - Scream]

[Sequence 6, Sequence 7 level (5/10):]

[“Skill - Dream Guide”]

[Skill - Frost]

[“Skill - Finger Gun”]

[“Skill - Fire Leap”]

[Skill - Arson]

【Low sequence level:】

[Skill - Bard]

[“Skill - Open Door”]

……

Characters like "Recorder" and "Shepherd" can freely replace the extraordinary abilities they don't need.

Therefore, now that Star has the extraordinary ability to delete unnecessary "skills", there will never be a situation where a "player" learns a bunch of junk skills in the "skill bar" - a situation that can be called a cerebral thrombosis.

At this moment, he can be said to be like a small "shepherd" - his strength can compete with that of the "recorder".

I don’t know whether this enhancement is also due to the fact that “Recorder” was originally an option for him to be promoted in the “Mysterious” field.

In addition to what has been mentioned above, there are now some conveniences in improving his "skill".

That is Star's extraordinary ability of "reconnaissance", which has now been improved to a certain extent, allowing Star to have a certain grasp of his own "skill" learning progress.

Simply put, Star can know when he will truly master his next extraordinary ability to be used as a "skill", and how many times he still needs to experience it before it becomes his own "skill".

Also, after learning this "skill", what is its power now, and how many times of practice are needed to reach the level of the original extraordinary ability.

In other words, a progress bar or "experience bar" is added to Star's "skills", so that Star can visualize his "skills" intuitively.

Take the following panel of abilities that Star possesses in the middle sequence as an example:
[“Skill - Dream Guide” (Current Level: lv-max)]

This means that the specific effect of Star's use of this extraordinary ability is almost the same as Captain Dunn's original "Nightmare".

[“Skill - Finger Gun” (Current Level: lv-ex)]

This means that the specific effect of Star's use of this extraordinary ability surpasses the effect of the original "Magician's Ring" and has reached the ultimate level that the current "Skill Bar" can accommodate - that is, the level of Sequence 6.

[“Skill - Frost” (Current Level: lv-???) (Note: Can break through the limit)]

This means that the specific effect of Star's use of this extraordinary ability has unknowingly exceeded the upper limit of the current "skill column" after steadily improving practice. If Star is willing, he can continue to improve it, hoping to raise it to the level of the original Sequence 5 "Wrathful Soul". Of course, the "Skill - Frost" can break through to the level of Sequence 5, thanks to the fact that Star's sparring partner at the time was Miss Messenger - a former "Alien" Sequence 2 Angel, and the "Frost" ability she mastered was not far from the level of the middle sequence.

Even if Star has the conditions later, he can upgrade the "Skill - Frost" to Sequence 4, which is the extraordinary ability effect possessed by the demigod level.

Secondly, it is because after Star became a "strange guy", he gained a new extraordinary ability.

Thanks to this, Star's current "skills" have the opportunity to break through the limits again.

That’s right, his “skills” can now be “upgraded”!

This makes Star the "player" even more authentic!

The reason why Star did not delete this extraordinary ability was because the wonderful change of "Skill-Frost" aroused Star's interest.

As for what level this upper limit can be "upgraded" to, and whether it can truly reach the demigod level, Sta can only say that there is a chance.

This thing might be like the lottery in some games Star played. In the end, you might spend your time on it, but end up with nothing but a "big guaranteed prize" -

In other words, you can only break through the limit to "Sequence 5" once.

The follow-up is very difficult.

It’s just that Star can “officially cheat” in this regard - with the help of “between reality and illusion”, it should be possible for him to reach the level of Sequence 4, which is Saint and above?

This area needs to be explored...

In fact, Star had already anticipated that his "skills" could be further improved and surpass the original level. After all, he had used the blessing of "Between Reality and Illusion" to make his "skill - arson" surpass the level of "fire control" possessed by the "magician", and gave himself a certain degree of resistance to fire.

Although the story behind the mysterious item "Magician's Ring" that serves as the "object of study" is a bit complicated.

After being imprisoned and subjected to "dirty talk" and "humiliation" by a "hunter" and a "flame whip", a certain "magician" finally couldn't bear the humiliation anymore...

Anyway, this thought makes Star think this is crazy:
Well, the Mid-Sequence Beyonders must also protect themselves well and stay away from perverts who like to torture others...

This also makes the "magician's ring" in Star's hand a little special.

How should I put it, there is a lot of resentment left inside.

If in a certain style of world, it can be said that this is an item with potential similar to "potential to become king".

But this is a mysterious world, so I didn’t meet Star. This is probably a sealed object that has great malice towards humans.

Once it falls into Star's hands, perhaps there will be some possibilities for further development?
In other words, because the "Between Reality and Virtuality" already has a "tampering" path built into it, Star is able to make use of his extraordinary abilities, whose names he doesn't even know, in subsequent sequences?
For example, this time Star borrowed the "skill upgrade" ability of "Between Reality and Virtuality" which had not yet appeared in the "Player" stage, allowing the "Skill-Arson" to transcend the original framework to a certain extent.

From this perspective, the reason why abilities like "rolling the dice" can be so powerful in his hands is also because of the blessing of the highest-level item in the "tampering" path, "between reality and illusion"?
Star makes the "between reality and illusion" appear, and then makes it disappear.

Specks of light flashed before Star's eyes, and he was a little confused about the position between "reality and illusion".

how to say?

If we say that "between reality and illusion" is "source" or "uniqueness", it seems to be more powerful than these two things.

The "Between Reality and Illusion" jumped into the face of the "Source Castle" without any fear. Star even wondered if bringing it to a place where these two things were, would make it seem like he had bad intentions.

After all, this is an item that is not bound by Star, and will automatically do something bad to various "uniqueness" and "source qualities" after Star is gone.

If we say that "Between Reality and Virtuality" is like a combination of "Source" and "Uniqueness", it is inferior to these two things in some aspects.

After all, uniqueness represents the "one true God", which is equivalent to the embodiment of the concept of "authority" in this path.

The source material is the source of several adjacent paths, and the symbol of the corresponding field represented by their collection itself.

And "between reality and illusion".

Not to mention that it still doesn't have the problem of adjacent pathways - the promotion route of the "tampering" pathway is very peculiar, and Star is not sure what to say about this aspect.

Simply saying "between reality and illusion" can only enhance one's existing original abilities, which is far from "uniqueness" and "source quality".

"Uniqueness" and "Source" possess all the capabilities of the path (field) they are in.

And Star has complete control over "Between Reality and Illusion", and up to now, there has been no feedback from "Between Reality and Illusion" in this regard.

You can't say that the subsequent capabilities haven't been set or generated yet, right?
Star grumbled inwardly.

Then, the subsequent promotion route flashed through his mind, and he was slightly puzzled:

It's not like it.

Forget it, maybe there are other reasons to be explored in the future? Thinking of this, Star turned his attention to his use of the "skill bar".

That being said, Star had no interest in making the "Skill - Frost" even more powerful, that is, to the level of Sequence 4.

In fact, Star only thought that it would be enough to "temporarily" upgrade the "Skill - Frost" to Sequence 5.

He is not some "navy admiral" who has to develop the extraordinary ability to freeze the sea surface into ice.

Star's idea for the "Skill - Frost" is to train it to Sequence 5 and maintain it at this level when it is needed.

When it is not needed, it is "degraded" to the level of the mid-sequence limit.

Yes, that’s right, “degeneration”!
This is Star, the "authority dog" who "tampers with" the method. He uses the "official modifier" of "Between Reality and Virtuality" to enhance ("cheat") his newly emerged function of "deleting skills", and then newly derived effects are created.

Of course, based on his previous experience, Star also suspected that perhaps this was also an ability that would naturally be possessed after being promoted to a higher sequence in the "Tampering" pathway?

Therefore, this is how Star arranged the "Skill - Frost" - it can be used to replenish combat power at certain times and can be discarded after use.

Well, it’s not that extreme, it’s just left on the bench.

Star thought so.

Besides, Star also needs to use this ability to make exclusive "ice cream food" for a certain "little kid".

This ability isn't that unpopular?
As for the extraordinary ability that Star really wants to improve, it should be "Skill-Arson".

After all, this extraordinary ability can be well matched with his "Skill - Fire Leap" and has reached a very high level.

And "Skill - Frost", it is also like this on the "panel" displayed by "Reconnaissance":
[“Skill - Arson” (Current Level: lv-???) (Note: Can break through the limit)]

And Star just happened to be planning to create another alias called "Kamen Rider - Flame".

He wants to play with fire.

Therefore, Star said:

"Skill - Arson", let me see where your limit is!
……

However, these are the highest few levels of the "skill bar", and there is another level that Star is embarrassed to mention.

That is:
[Current level: lv-rookie]
