Chapter 14 Skill Points and Self-collection

"Brother Ji, come on an adventure with us!"

When Ji Youcai rested again after exhausting most of his energy and energy, Wu Aotian touched him, and the first sentence he uttered was an invitation straight to the point.

Facing this acquaintance who had some symptoms of secondary illness, Ji Youcai still had a good impression of him. Although he was tempted for a moment by his invitation, he was instantly forgotten.

He knew that the other party was just impulsive, and maybe he invited himself because of the fact that his harvesting technique could help him collect and keep fresh ingredients.

In fact, although the current gathering technique is only level one and level zero, everyone can see from the effect of dealing with prey that its effect is not much better than the top level disintegration technique!
What's more, disintegration is a combination of a series of skills used to deal with prey. It is a synthesis of four or five first-level skills such as skinning, bone removal, and segmentation. Few people can—or are willing to consume It takes a lot of money and time to learn all these skills and then synthesize them!
You must know that it takes three stages for a skill to be successfully acquired before it can be truly recognized by the world and become a formal skill that can be recognized by Guan Tian Jian.

The first is a preliminary understanding of skills, such as skill efficacy, display methods, skill consumption, etc. This stage is called "little knowledge".

Then there is the further practice of skills. At this stage, skills can already be used, but the success rate is not particularly high, and the effect of the skills displayed will not be very good, and because the skills are not proficient, a lot of energy will be wasted, and the skill consumption will be relatively high. Many, this stage can be called "rough skin".

Then comes the final stage. This stage is when you already have your own understanding of a skill, and you can use the skill more proficiently. Although it is still easy to fail, the skill can successfully reach the level of recognition from time to time. This skill has already "learned the door", and it is only one step away from becoming an official "skill"!
After successfully breaking through these three stages, you can start trying to gain the recognition of the world and enter the formal skill stage of "entering the hall".

It sounds simple, but it is actually very difficult. How many people spend several years or even more than ten years to learn a formal skill, and some relatively uncommon and mysterious skills cannot even be recognized as skills after spending a lifetime. someone here!
Therefore, ordinary adventurers will only learn one or two of them, and then use them with teammates.Even some extreme adventurers will not be distracted from learning such auxiliary sub-professional skills in order to concentrate on improving their combat effectiveness. They rely on hiring full-time sub-professional entourages to deal with prey.

Therefore, adventurers who can truly learn all prey handling skills and have disintegration skills are rare, very rare.

Although Ji Youcai's collection technique consumes a lot, it can take on several roles, which is equivalent to a first-level disintegration technique master, and its value is self-evident.

However, Wu Aotian and the others are not idle people. Although they didn't encounter any dangerous wild beasts along the way, they couldn't have an intuitive understanding of their strength, but Ji Youcai can perceive the tip of the iceberg of their strength, which needs him to look up to now. But not as powerful.

It is reasonable for Ji Youcai to feel lucky to be able to take risks with them. After all, he is just a novice now. If he has no strength, it is a good thing to have strong people who are willing to help him improve.

But this idea was just abandoned by him as soon as it crossed his mind.

Not to mention whether his identity as an outsider will be revealed, the secret of his harvesting technique alone makes it impossible for him to take risks with others casually!
So he politely declined Wu Aotian's invitation.

Regarding this, Wu Aotian looked disappointed.

……

"Although your harvesting technique is very powerful, it also consumes a lot of energy. Without the support of a strong spirit, it is difficult to grow quickly." During another break, Liu Chuanfeng said to Ji Youcai.

"For some reason, I have never practiced before, so my total energy is not much, and it is no different from ordinary people." Ji Youcai explained vaguely.

"Although it's a little late, I still suggest that you learn other skills, such as the breathing of warriors, meditation and visualization of magicians, etc., which can effectively improve your energy."

"Well, that's exactly what I mean. After this adventure is over, I plan to visit the Swordsman's Guild after I go back."

"Actually, there is another half way that can be used."

"Half way?"

"Well, this is an unavoidable solution, that is to gather skill points! Skill points are energy crystals formed by condensing the skills required to perform skills in a special way. They can be stored at ordinary times and activated when needed. You can directly cast skills. This is originally a method used by combat professionals to attack and explode. It is a bit tasteless for sub-professionals. Moreover, I say it is only a half way because of the cohesive consumption of skill points It is your own energy, it only allows you to gather skill points during the rest and recovery time, thereby increasing the number of times the skill can be cast."

"Then what is the special way you said?"

"Each skill can actually condense skill points, but because of the characteristics of the skill itself and the skill holder's own reasons, there are more or less skill points that can be condensed. The method of condensing the skill points of each skill is different. They are not the same. But they all come from the energy contained in the skill holder's own body, so some small skills are still common."

"First of all, what you need is the preparations for using your skills, mobilize the energy you need to consume to use your skills, and then control them to condense in your body so that they won't disperse and can be used by you at any time."

"It's a pity that your harvesting technique can't collect living bodies, otherwise you can use the harvesting technique on yourself..."

Ji Youcai couldn't help being stunned, and was amazed by Liu Chuanfeng's brain hole - he is indeed a "sage" who can mix with Wu Aotian, a brave man with the second disease, his brain circuit is different from ordinary people!
Still, it's a really good idea to give it a try!
After all, the previous live collection can be said to kill the other party, and the captured animals are also in fright, and their spirits are highly nervous. , the probability of success should not be low!

Ji Youcai sat cross-legged, tried to use the collection skill, and then set the collected object as himself. Immediately, wisps of skill emanated from Ji Youcai's hands like living tentacles, and when they touched Ji Youcai's body, they were also shocked. Great resistance, but under his efforts to relax, the technical tentacles still successfully entered his body, following his mind, perception, contact, capture, condensation... After a series of processes, Ji Youcai's forehead was bulging with veins, as if endured great pain.

"Wow... vomit, vomit..." Seeing Ji Youcai retracting his hand, Liu Chuanfeng, who was about to ask if he succeeded, saw Ji Youcai laying on the ground retching, scratching his body with both hands, as if something was His stomach was overwhelmed.

It wasn't until half a day later that Ji Youcai looked much better that he stepped forward to ask what happened.

"Did you make it?"

"Successful! But...it's too much suffering!" Ji Youcai had a bitter face, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

It’s a bit uncomfortable to collect yourself, it’s better to say it’s a bit disgusting. Although the tentacles of the skills enter the body, it doesn’t hurt, but there is an indescribable itching feeling, and there is also a feeling of reaching into the body with your hands—— I don’t understand Some people can try to put their fingers into their throats and try to touch it. The disgusting feeling that makes them want to vomit is really indescribable.

"Besides, consuming one skill and condensing one skill point is a bit worth the candle!"

"Actually, skill points are not concentrated in this way. The purpose of my suggestion is to let you try to experience the method of gathering skill points with the help of collection techniques. After you are proficient, you will no longer use collection techniques but Concentrating on your own is a tricky method, and you may even try to do this for other skills in the future to gather skill points."

"You try again now, instead of using the collection technique, you can use the method just now to gather skill points!"

Ji Youcai nodded, continued to sit cross-legged, and began to try.

Closing his eyes, he instantly sensed an energy cluster the size of a quail egg in his lower dantian, which was the skill point he had successfully condensed from the gathering technique just now, which could support him to perform a gathering technique once.

Gathering his mind, he tried his best to recall the movement of energy in his body under the harvesting technique, mobilizing the energy in his body to gather together...

The first time, I failed. I mobilized the energy in my body with the feeling when I activated the collection technique. This step went smoothly, but there are more than a dozen energies that make up the power of the skill. If you catch this one and run that one, let alone let them gather It's impossible to gather enough energy!

The second time, I continued to fail, but I could capture a lot more energy, but it was still not enough.

The third time, it still failed, but the mobilization and capture of energy can meet the requirements, but how to gather and condense them is still somewhat difficult.

The fourth time, continued to fail, energy conflicts, scattered...

The fifth time, failed...

The sixth time, failed...

Seventh time……

……

After twelve failures, Ji Youcai stopped and concentrated on concentrating his skill points, which still exhausted him a lot.

"Why don't you try to collect it on yourself again?" Liu Chuanfeng, who had been watching Ji Youcai working hard, suggested.

Although he didn't want to continue to suffer that crime, Ji Youcai, who felt that he was only a step away from condensing his skill points, gritted his teeth and cast the collection technique on himself, continuing to look for inspiration in it!

……

“凝结成功！宿主消耗0.1神魂、0.1气元、0.1精力，获得一点采集术技力点！技力点可用来代替精气神的消耗来施展采集术技能！技力点储存量10，当前技力点1（先前用采集术获得的技力点用来施展第二次采集术了）。”

"I succeeded!" Ji Youcai suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and smiled slightly.

"Congratulations!"
