Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 670 Too poor to know the hidden usage
Xuanhun's words made Chu Danqing understand two things.

Firstly, Xuanhun's elimination of the Zisha teapot was not only due to her passing away, but also because she had a better way to do so.

Secondly, the other party's real purpose should be their two inherited skills.

The True Destiny Divine Soul Emperor thought that if Chu Danqing didn't notice the problem, then she would have come out ahead.

"Do you sell any other items that grant skill points?" Chu Danqing asked tentatively.

Xuanhun was taken aback upon hearing this.

Then he said, "Being unable to sell it is a matter of professional talent."

She wasn't lying; it truly was the only high-ranking professional talent she had ever acquired.

It saves money, has a lower cooldown, and grants more skill points.

Rather than waiting until it has fewer uses and sells for a lower value, it's better to sell it now.

In particular, Chu Danqing's two inherited skills were very suitable for her.

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing did not press for details but instead began to ponder.

Is it really worth exchanging two Tier 4 Inheritance Skills for a single strategic item that can only be used about ten times?
“I can use up to level 4 skills here, so I can get at least a hundred skill points, half of which can be level 4 skills. It’s not a loss,” Xuanhun said quickly when he saw Chu Danqing thinking.

Chu Danqing felt something was off, and then asked, "How did you obtain these skill points?"

"For Tier 3, you can get 1 skill point for Excellent level and 3 points for Brilliant level!" Xuanhun continued, "With your strength, I'll give you 20 and 30 trials for Tier 3 and Tier 4 respectively."

"Then use the second-best quality consumables of that tier for fifty times, that's 150 skill points."

“In my estimation, it can be used at least sixty times.” Xuan Hun paused here, then said, “Of course, the actual number may be less, after all, consumables of the Brilliant quality are indeed expensive.”

"But I use it a lot, which makes up for it."

Chu Danqing fell silent; the other party's calculation method was completely different from his own.

In his opinion, he could only manage about ten attempts at the third and fourth levels, while his opponent was already aiming for fifty.

"What if it were a Brilliant-level one?" Chu Danqing asked.

“5 o’clock,” Xuanhun said. “When I was at level 1, I was lucky enough to obtain a consumable item of excellent quality.”

"Converted to a Tier 3 Brilliant quality, the gain would be 5 Tier 3 skill points."

With the cooldown time and 5 points of benefit added, and after fifty uses, he didn't know if he would even survive to use them all.

It is a strategic resource no matter what, and its value is not limited by its rank.

Selling it after it reaches a higher level is a way to buy low and sell high.

Now that my rank is higher, repairs aren't out of the question.

“Alright, two inherited skills it is.” Chu Danqing said immediately, “But I didn’t expect that a young lady like you would choose this kind of counter system.”

Xuanhun laughed and said, "There's no other way, we have to survive."

"Fortunately, there is Paradise, so those unspeakable things can't bother me yet."

It was simply a matter of necessity; by the time they wanted to switch systems, it was too late.

Unless they obtain something like the Wenquxing template, it will be difficult for Xuanhun to change its system.

The two quickly completed the transaction. Chu Danqing asked many more questions, and Xuanhun answered all the ones he knew, but couldn't answer the ones he didn't know.

After asking the question, the person left immediately.

There was no intention to continue the discussion with Chu Danqing; everyone was busy and had no time to chat with strangers.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this will be the only time she and Chu Danqing will ever meet in this lifetime.

The two sides have different systems and follow different paths, so it's even less likely that their trial missions will overlap.

After walking a distance, Chu Danqing asked, "This thing should have after-sales service, right?"

The broker smiled and said, "If the customer says it's broken, then there's no way."

"Of course not. I just want to ask how many skill points this thing would yield if placed in an expert-level skill crystal. Also, as a strategic resource, is there any attenuation?"

The broker's smile vanished instantly.

He discovered that Chu Danqing's absurdity far exceeded his imagination.

"It is indeed within the after-sales service scope. Let me check for you." The broker agreed.

Chu Danqing entrusted him with the procurement, so he definitely needs to complete the relevant information.

After about 10 minutes, the broker said, "Skill crystals can be used, but it will take longer."

"20 points for expert level, 10 points for proficient level, and 5 points for ordinary level."

"There will be no attenuation. As for skill crystals above that level, I can't find them. You'll have to go to a higher tier area to confirm."

"Secondly, it will take longer, so you need to be aware of that."

"Then there are also advantages, namely that the damage to the props will be less, and it may even have a certain repairing effect."

"According to intelligence, if you are not using a normal-grade skill crystal, unless it is damaged by external force, the damage rate during normal use cannot keep up with the repair rate."

The broker explained the specifics.

The reason Xuanhun didn't know this was naturally because she had never used skill crystals to create skill points.

If she were to obtain skill crystals, she wouldn't even have enough to upgrade her basic skills, let alone use them on purple clay teapots. Only a top-tier apostle like Chu Danqing would do such a thing.

Items like these, once in the hands of top apostles, would never be allowed to leave the country.

In particular, after Chu Danqing learned of this, he would only keep it for himself.

"Of course, it's not like there's absolutely no news," the broker added. "A proficient level technician can repair the damage, and an expert level technician will do even better."

"The higher the level of the skill crystal, the more and stronger the effects will be."

"After all, both are strategic resources, so it's normal for them to have some special characteristics."

"It is said that if you use it for a long time, it can produce even more effects."

"Because some residual power will be absorbed during the refining process."

"The amount of regular consumables is just too small. They can't even keep up with the damage, let alone produce any effect."

"However, it's just hearsay, and I'm not sure if it's true that it will produce new effects or be enhanced."

"You can only confirm with other brokers in higher-level areas." He wasn't sure about the brokers either.

If he's a level 5 or 6 broker, then he might know.

Unfortunately, he was only a level 3 broker.

"Okay, I understand." Chu Danqing didn't take these words to heart.

Anyway, he felt that he had really gotten a bargain this time.

"By the way, how's the intelligence I asked you to investigate coming along?" Chu Danqing asked casually.

"We're still having someone sort it out. If you're in a hurry, we can give it to you now, though some parts may be missing," the broker said immediately.

Intelligence work is no easy task, especially since Chu Danqing didn't pay extra to hire professionals.

Therefore, brokers can only rely on their own connections and channels. Fortunately, they do have the ability to buy and sell information, so it can be considered a good fit for their profession.

"How long will it take to sort things out properly?" Chu Danqing asked again.

"Three days, I will definitely deliver it to the customer in three days," the broker said immediately.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you for three days." Chu Danqing wasn't in a hurry, since he had plenty of free time lately anyway.

After replying, Chu Danqing went to the arena.

He wasn't planning to play in the arena; instead, he was going to the arena shop to buy skill crystals.

"I still have one Mastery-level Skill Crystal left over from last time. It would be too wasteful to just buy an Expert-level one."

Chu Danqing did some calculations and directly bought 9 Master-level Skill Crystals to synthesize 1 Expert-level Skill Crystal, which only cost him 9,000 Arena Points.

"I originally intended to buy Glory Potions with five-dimensional attributes," Chu Danqing said. "Unfortunately, I can't buy them now."

With the rankings finalized and his previous 527-game winning streak, he now has 16,000 competitive points, down to only 7,700.

The Tier 3 five-dimensional attribute Glory Potion costs 10,000.

Chu Danqing would need to play another 300 matches to earn 3,000 competitive points, which he probably couldn't do.

After returning to his personal room, Chu Danqing took out the Fragrant Tea Purple Clay Teapot and placed the expert-level skill crystal inside.

Then they began to infuse mana.

The magical power was continuously absorbed by the purple clay teapot, requiring a great deal of magical power.

It can only be said that it is indeed a crystallization of expert-level skills. It is also thanks to Chu Danqing's vast magical power and the help of Da Hua that the magical power required to fill the fragrant teapot was successfully filled.

"I don't feel anything special about it." Chu Danqing could sense that the water in the pot, which was transformed by magical energy, was slowly heating up.

"It will take 30 days?"

Seeing the countdown appear on it, Chu Danqing could only put it back into the storage space and let it burn slowly on its own.

“A skill crystal is one level for 10 days.” Chu Danqing thought, “If this were replaced with a Talent Growth Crystal Type 1 or a Special Skill Growth Crystal, how many skill points would I get?”

Fortunately, Chu Danqing was only thinking about it and didn't really intend to feed them. After all, Chu Danqing wasn't that extravagant.

While expert-level basic skills can be improved through the training room, there is only one way for him to develop his talents and special skills.

That's why he only asked for skill crystals when seeking after-sales service from the broker.

As for any overflow of talent growth crystals? Those can be given to allies.

Since Golden Terrace raised the allies' privileges to the same level as permanent summons, Chu Danqing no longer needs to spend extra money to use strategic resources.

However, most of the time, Chu Danqing himself didn't have enough, so he had no way to share the profits with his allies.

Moreover, my allies are very supportive, and most of the time I can improve through my own cultivation.

"In this way, the cooling can keep up." Chu Danqing calculated that there was indeed no problem.

Now that I've used it, I can use it again when I return to Paradise after completing the next trial.

The cooling process of a Zisha teapot is essentially a form of energy recharge, so the energy is already being used up once you start brewing.

The criterion for judgment is not when it boils, but when it starts boiling.

This is good news for Chu Danqing.
