Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 241 How can I become stronger without spending all my Paradise Points?

The equipment to be synthesized this time includes: Peace Ring, Nine-Child Demon Mother Diagram, Flying Yellow Cloud Chariot, Thousand-Faced Shadowless Stone, and Beast-Faced War Chariot Token.

[Estimated completion time: 5 hours]

The synthesis began, and this time it would take five hours. After glancing at it, Chu Danqing first learned the four skills he had received: Array Defense, Soul Protection, Sacrifice Bone Armor, and Remnant Burst.

Then he went to the skill bay to upgrade his skills, and during this process he was thinking about a question.

That is the use of basic-level skill crystals. According to his original idea, he would definitely choose to convert them all into master-level skill crystals to improve master-level skills.

Mastering skills is the foundation of the system; the key is to actually know them, otherwise you can only add a few percentage points at most.

With current strength being low and percentage bonuses not being significant, multi-level upgrades are not advisable.

"Knowledge is power, but my current knowledge is not enough to convert into sufficient power."

"So, let's focus on increasing our strength first." Chu Danqing made up her mind and left behind 60 basic-level skill crystals to upgrade all six of her mastery skills by one level.

The remaining 42 coins are used to upgrade skills.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have enough amusement park points.

With this wave of skill upgrades, Chu Danqing only had 60 basic skill crystals left, and his Paradise Points dropped to 11558.

"The Paradise Points required to upgrade the Elite level from level 10 to level 20 during the reserve stage remain unchanged; it still requires 2000 Paradise Points per level."

"However, the excellent-level skills learned at Tier 1, from level 1 to the maximum level of 20, all cost 1000 Paradise Points."

"The improvement of one's own rank leads to a reduction in the cost of skill upgrades."

"It seems that it's best to upgrade them to the maximum level before the rank is promoted, otherwise the Paradise Points will increase after the rank is promoted, and then we will lose money." Chu Danqing looked at the skills, which were both of excellent quality, but the Paradise Points they consumed were almost half the same.

Subsequently, Chu Danqing combined the remaining 60 basic-level skill crystals into 6 master-level skill crystals, and then upgraded all six master-level skills by 1 level.

Knowledge flooded his mind once again. Fortunately, it was only a level up, which Chu Danqing could handle. However, the content was still very difficult, requiring Chu Danqing to study and think carefully.

[Summoning/Summoning Spells/Nurturing/Harmony/Spirit Control/Command Mastery: LV.5]

[Skill Effect: Increases all attributes/talents, skill effects/bloodline effects/affinity tendencies/spirituality/summoning cost of summoned creatures by 10% × 4 / 10 / -10.]

After returning from the skill pod, Chu Danqing went back to his personal room, lay down to rest, and waited for the equipment synthesis to be completed.

"We can still spare another 858 Paradise Points, so..." Chu Danqing was planning how to use this small amount.

It's definitely not enough to enhance skills.

"It does have another use, which is that it's short 142 amusement park points."

"Where are we supposed to find that money?" Chu Danqing said with a bitter expression.

If you could add another 142 points to turn 858 points into 1000 Paradise Points, then you could enhance the equipment to +1 after it's been synthesized.

With a 90% success rate, the possibility of failure is very small.

然后就简单了，他手上还有12枚1~3级装备强化石，用两枚去强化到+3，然后再将剩余10枚强化石合成为1份4级装备强化石。

In this way, Chu Danqing will be able to have a piece of equipment that has been enhanced to +4.

But now he's short 142 Paradise Points, and his plan is doomed.
"Wait, it seems there really are some for sale." Chu Danqing narrowed his eyes and found something in his storage space.

The Spirit Pill increases the spirituality of a summoned creature by 1 point when consumed.

He had previously made 20, using one each for Da Bao, Da Bai, and Da Gu, and now he has 17 left.

"Unfortunately, the quality is excellent. Besides being able to be consumed only once, consuming it on a Tier 1 permanent summon currently only increases its spirituality by 0.05 points."

"I'll exchange it for 142 amusement park points; I can sell them." Chu Danqing immediately set off.

This time, I definitely can't wait at the stalls; I have to go find my target myself.

After searching in the center of Apostle Square, a candidate was quickly identified, and then 150 Paradise Points were directly awarded.

The other party glanced at it and immediately cut the price by one-tenth, saying it was 15 points per piece.

The main problem is that the increase is too small, only 0.05 points. If the other party didn't think that even a small increase is still a gain, they wouldn't buy it at all.

As for using it on a newly acquired permanent summon that is below level 1, will it provide the full effect?

This might have been a valid excuse in a reserve area, but this is a Tier 1 area.

You can sell them if you want, or they won't bother you if you don't. Chu Danqing didn't choose to haggle. After running around, she sold a total of 10 and earned 150 Paradise Points.

"It's really hard to sell." Chu Danqing decisively ran away.

No one would buy it if it were just placed on a stall. He might be able to sell some by going out and promoting it himself, but he would be better off using that time to read and study.

At first glance, it seems like all you need is profit. But if success were that easy, wouldn't there be successful people everywhere?

Do you really think the other apostles are fools, that none of them are thinking about making money and only about fighting and killing?

Street stalls selling the same snacks can have varying degrees of success, with some vendors packed with customers while others are heavily in debt.

Chu Danqing knew she didn't have the talent in that area, so she certainly wouldn't consider venturing into unknown territory.

"But we could sell the formula," Chu Danqing muttered.

"Well, they're hard to sell anyway."

"Next time, give it to Guo Ming and have Guo's professional team do a simulation for me to see if it can be upgraded to excellent quality."

"That might become a way to make money."

Chu Danqing did come up with a solution, but it didn't solve much of the problem.

The main problem is that thirty days is too short. It's enough for rest, but not enough for other things.

Fortunately, Chu Danqing was not a greedy person, but believed in doing her best.

It would be best if he had one, but even without one, he can still forge his own path through hard work.

Chu Danqing put all these thoughts aside. He had no business acumen, so he decided to honestly grow stronger step by step to avoid getting himself into trouble.

After returning to his personal room, Chu Danqing's gaze fell on the equipment synthesizer.

Five hours is still quite a long time. Even though he had been gone for more than an hour, the fusion was still proceeding slowly.

"I wonder what kind of thing it will turn into." After saying that, Chu Danqing lowered his head to read.

Time flies by in the blink of an eye, and a park notification appears.

[Equipment crafting complete. You have obtained: Eight Steeds Climbing the Dragon Chariot]

The equipment synthesizer shattered, and an amulet fell to the ground.

Chu Danqing looked somewhat surprised when she saw this scene.

Wasn't it supposed to be a palanquin? How come it's an amulet?

When he picked it up and took a look, he realized that it was a dual-form piece of equipment.

After putting it away, he called to Da Bao, Da Bai, and Da Gu, saying, "Let's go strengthen our equipment!"

Da Bao, who was watching cartoons, jumped up, grabbed Da Gu with his left hand, and pulled Da Bai out of his head with his right hand and stuffed it back into Chu Danqing's body.

"Enhance, equip." Da Bao seemed very excited.

Because Chu Danqing was poor, Da Bao had never been to the Enhancement Hall.

Actually, it wasn't just him; Chu Danqing hadn't been there either.

However, despite being poor, Chu Danqing wasn't stingy. Occasionally, he would take Da Bao and the others to some of the amusement park's attractions.

These kinds of entertainment facilities aren't very expensive, because they were all built by apostles of the Life System, and the ticket prices aren't high.

Most of them only require 1 point to enjoy the park for a whole day, but the prices inside are a bit higher.

For Da Bao, it wasn't exactly fun.

Mainly because he is too big, he can't use many of the entertainment facilities, so he mostly just strolls around.

"Xiao Chu, let me do it, let me strengthen it." Da Bao wanted to experience what it felt like to strengthen equipment, so he said somewhat shyly.

"Fine, you come if you want." Chu Danqing didn't seem to care about these things.

Activities like opening treasure chests and upgrading equipment in the park are not affected by luck; it's the same for everyone.

Whether a treasure chest yields good items depends on the chest's quality, while enhancing equipment depends on the materials provided and the equipment's mechanics.

In some ways, it's fair enough; at least the unlucky ones won't fail 90% of the time.

The success rate of enhancement is more like an evolution of the equipment, but whether this evolution can be successfully carried out can only be known afterward.
