Chapter 28 Comprehensive Improvement (Part )

Don't even mention extra attribute points to make up for it.

Indeed, some top families have many copies and can continuously harvest free attribute points and skill stones, and can indeed provide a top-level strongman with multiple roles.

But, with such a large investment, how many can you afford?
Can you keep going?
In addition to attribute points, there are also skill points. Part-time dual professions require dual profession skills, and more skill points are needed to upgrade skills.

You should know that the more you upgrade to later stages, the more attributes you will gain, and the more exaggerated the attribute and skill point requirements will become. There is no turning back from this kind of part-time job from the beginning. You have to keep providing for it later on, and keep providing for it to the end.

Except for a very small number of direct descendants of wealthy families who can do this, most people do not have the qualifications.

In addition, there is a second problem, that is, the experience required for upgrading a part-time job is also higher than that of a single profession, and it is not twice the requirement, but three times the requirement.

This means that if you work part-time in a profession, you will need three times the experience points to upgrade.

If you work two professions part-time, you will need five times the experience to level up.

Theoretically, there is no limit to the number of part-time jobs, but...
Spending so many resources only to bring out the normal combat effectiveness of two professions.

But if so many extra attribute points and skill points are all invested in one profession, the combat effectiveness will definitely be much stronger than two normal professions.

Because of this, basically no one works part-time. Even the descendants of top wealthy families mostly have a single profession, and only a very few of them work part-time.

"Next, let's practice some skills."

Chu Cheng collected his thoughts, closed the panel and went out, preparing to go to the school practice room to practice his weapon skills.

Weapon skills cannot be upgraded using skill points. There is only proficiency, and the proficiency can be improved a little bit after each successful use. When the proficiency accumulates to 100%, it can be upgraded to the next level.

The weapon skill levels are not the common LV levels, but entry-level, mastery, proficient, expert, master, grandmaster, and god-level.

Chu Cheng has now learned three weapon skills, namely the introduction to dagger, the mastery of one-handed sword, and the introduction to dual-wielding weapons.

Weapon skills can improve the proficiency and combat skills of such weapons. The higher the skill level, the stronger the skill, and the more powerful the weapon can be in combat.

Most combat skills have certain requirements for weapons, which are sometimes not written in the data, but they do affect the performance of certain combat skills.

For example, Chu Cheng is currently learning Frenzy. There is no weapon restriction in the skill introduction, but after testing, this skill can be better utilized with light weapons. On the contrary, using heavy weapons such as two-handed greatswords and heavy axes to cast this skill will consume extra physical strength. The heavier the weapon, the greater the extra consumption.

Normally, skill proficiency is improved through regular dungeon battles. Outside of dungeons, skill proficiency can be improved through sparring with other Adventers, or by spending money to customize opponents.

There is no way to improve skill proficiency by hitting wooden stakes, unless you use scrolls to summon monsters to fight.

In short, weapon skills are not fake, they are all honed through real combat.

Thanks to the student status, the school has a special practice room where you can spend money to summon monsters for practice.

These monsters come from the copies controlled by the school. The monster type and level can be customized. If it is a humanoid monster, the equipment and weapons can also be specified.

Too lazy to queue up for the free training room, Chu Cheng directly spent 10 silver coins to rent a high-end room.

As soon as you enter, an opponent customized light screen pops up in front of you, with detailed opponent data customized on it.

"Level adjusted to level 15, elite template, skills..."

His fingers kept operating on the light screen and soon completed the settings.

“I hope it’s worth the price.”

After completing this customization, he had to pay a customization fee of up to 15 silvers, but he felt it was worth it.

The more powerful the skill, the better the effect of practice. After the payment was completed, a summoning beam of light fell, and a small amount of light curtain disappeared. A level 15, elite template, and a human swordsman with a one-handed sword weapon skill that reached the first level of mastery appeared in front of him.

The swordsman template is extremely high and he is very well equipped, but the weapons he is equipped with are just two level 5 blank one-handed swords, and the actual attack power is greatly weakened to only 52 points.

After deducting 30 points of absorption from talent and 14 points of absorption from plate armor, and then deducting defense, the actual damage is less than 10 points.

As soon as the isolating light curtain disappeared, the swordsman rushed towards him like an arrow with two swords in his hands.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!"

A series of metal clashing sounds were heard, and two figures holding double swords instantly engaged in a fight.

Chu Cheng did not configure any additional skills for this opponent, nor did he use any skills himself. He only activated his talent, but it only absorbed the energy without any rebound target.

With its extremely high defense and life regeneration, it managed to withstand all the fierce attacks from the target.

This custom opponent is proficient in one-handed sword, which is only one level higher than his mastery. His skills are stronger, but not to the point of crushing him. He is the most suitable opponent for practice.

As long as he doesn't kill his opponent, he can stay in the room.

The total cost is 25 silver. Of course, it is impossible to practice almost forever. You will get hungry if you stay there all the time, but it is no problem to practice for seven or eight hours at a time.

Because of school regulations, one is not allowed to rashly enter non-school copies during classes, in the following days, Chu Cheng focused on improving his weapon skills and went to the training room every day.

Spend 25 silver coins to book a high-level training room and practice with an opponent who is proficient in one-handed sword for seven or eight hours at a time, and quit only when you are exhausted.

I don’t know if it’s because of his concentration, but his proficiency in this one-handed skill is improving very quickly, at least ten percentage points every day.

In less than a week, his skills had accumulated to 100%, and he was successfully promoted to one-handed sword proficiency. Because he had been fighting with two weapons, he even upgraded his dual-wielding skill to mastery.

Then I changed my weapons, bought two level five white daggers, and started practicing dagger weapon skills.

During this period, he also purchased several other weapon skill scrolls that he might use, namely one-handed axe, fist gloves, firearms, bows, and throwing weapons.

It took ten days to improve my dagger skills from entry level to proficiency, and more than half a month has passed.

It took another ten days to improve his firearms skills from entry level to proficiency.

"This progress is a bit too fast. Could it be that the golden finger is also accelerating it?"

So far, 28 days have passed in a month, and the next big class is less than two days away. However, Chu Cheng’s mind is not on the big class at all. Instead, he is reviewing his gains this month.

In just 28 days, he had mastered four weapon skills: dagger, one-handed sword, firearm, and dual weapons. This was a bit exaggerated.

Although I didn't have the luxury of using a high-end training room or custom-made opponents because I was too poor before, I have heard from teachers and other classmates that I have never heard of such exaggerated progress.

Weapon skills are purely a matter of time and effort, and the improvement rate is very slow. I have never heard of such a fast improvement speed as his.

From entry to mastery in three days.

From mastery to proficiency in seven days.

“That’s a bit outrageous!”

"But I like it!"

Regardless of whether the super-fast progress is granted by the golden finger, this is a good thing.
