Quite a Large Increase

"What? Why do you want those useless low-level skill books?"

Hearing that the other party had bought a large number of skill books, the shop owner sat up straight and asked curiously.

"I've awakened an Unspecialized Class, so these skill books are useful to me."

Standing beside the cardboard box and looking at the various skill books, Lin Xiu did not hide anything and explained his situation.

"Oh... I see."

The middle-aged boss nodded. He sized up Lin Xiu again, and his expression could not help but carry some regret.

He was also a Class, and he had dealt with all kinds of Classes all year round, so he understood the characteristics of the Unspecialized Class very well. There was no development to speak of.

"Alright, 100R per book. You can choose." Retracting his gaze, the middle-aged boss readily agreed.

When Lin Xiu heard this, he immediately squatted down and began to rummage through the dust-covered cardboard boxes.

If an Unspecialized wanted to develop well, they had to carefully choose or learn the basic Class skills.

After all, he could learn hundreds of skills from the six major Classes, so Lin Xiu had to choose according to his own situation.

Before he came, he had already thought about it carefully. Although unspecialized characters could learn all common skills without any restrictions.

However, this Class had a limited amount of spiritual energy, and the skills that consumed more mana could only be used a few times.

Therefore, Lin Xiu had already filtered out many skills in his heart.

For the active skills, he chose the Warrior's Savage Roar and Leap Strike, the Archer's Critical Strike, the Mage's Basic Fireball, the Assassin's Backstab, and the Knight's Blessing of Strength.

These skills were very basic and could be learned at level one, so the corresponding mana consumption was not too high.

However, the effect it could cause was extremely strong.

For example, a Warrior's Savage Roar could not only reduce one's pain perception, but it could also increase the attack power of allies within a five-meter radius by 10 percent. It could be said to be the core skill of an early-stage Warrior.

The reason why Lin Xiu still chose the Fireball spell was to prevent encountering monsters with high physical defense. Moreover, the Fireball spell also had a partial burning effect. He could completely kite the enemy with his outstanding speed.

As for defensive-type active skills, Lin Xiu did not have many choices. He only had the Knight's Resistance Aura and the Priest's Wound Healing. Unfortunately, the Resistance Aura can only be learned at level 10, so Lin Xiu currently had no way to fight the enemy head-on.

Therefore, in Lin Xiu's skill bar, there were only 7 active skills that could be used.

As for passive skills, Lin Xiu chose a total of 12.

These skills did not require any energy to be cast, and they could take effect at any time.

Lin Xiu put in a lot of effort in the selection of passive skills.

However, it was a pity that most of these passive skills had level restrictions.

Currently, he could only learn 3 of them.

[Warrior passive skill: (Level 2 Thick Skin) Physical Defense +3, automatically recovers 2 HP per minute.]

[Archer passive skill: (Level 2 Cold Arrow) 20% chance to deal 1600% critical damage to the enemy.]

[Assassin passive skill: (Level 2 Armor Penetration) Your attacks can ignore 18% of the opponent's physical defense.]

It had to be said that these passive skills provided Lin Xiu with a lot of atrribute values. Although they were not considered powerful now, they could be upgraded to level 5 at most. The subsequent probability and values would definitely increase by a lot.

After learning these level 1 skills, Lin Xiu threw the remaining skill books into his inventory.

"Here's 2,000R, thanks."

He placed the money on the bar counter and said with a gentle expression.

"It's a small matter. If there's still a need in the future, you're welcome to come anytime," the boss kept the money and said happily.

Exiting the shop, Lin Xiu stood on the street of the trading market. Looking at the crowd that kept coming and going, his mood was rather emotional.

He spent over 2,000R on a simple weapon and some skill books.

It had to be said that the training phase of Classes was really expensive.

Touching the pocket that was already more than half dried up, Lin Xiu's face could not help but reveal some pained expression.

"Looks like I'll have to clear out more monsters when I participate in the Catacombs adventure tomorrow."

Lin Xiu quickened his pace and left the trading market, returning to the Fuyuan Academy.

It was already close to two in the afternoon. There were not many people in the school outside the training ground.

By the time he arrived at the training ground, most of the rooms were already occupied.

When he passed by, Lin Xiu could still hear waves of discussion from time to time from the tightly shut door.

He had arrived late, so the rooms with training equipment were all occupied, leaving only a few empty training rooms in the corner.

Without an opponent to spar with, Lin Xiu brought over a scarecrow.

Then, he closed the door and practiced alone inside.

...

"Fireball!"

In the small training room, Lin Xiu raised his axe and shouted.

The next moment, the temperature in front of him suddenly rose, and a fireball the size of a football immediately condensed.

With a thought, he controlled that Fireball spell and smashed into the scarecrow not far away, burning it black.

Fortunately, the walls and floor of the training room were made of special materials and were very sturdy. Otherwise, with the power of the Fireball, a shallow pit would have been formed.

"Blessing of Strength!"

Lin Xiu wore the Boots of Hermes and appeared behind the second scarecrow in a flash. As soon as he finished speaking, the Double-Edged Battle Axe in his hand gave off a golden light and seemed to have become much sharper.

Swoosh!

Lin Xiu gathered all the strength in his body and twisted his waist. The axe in his hand immediately swung out, splitting the scarecrow into two halves without any resistance.

Glancing at the one-third of his mana bar that had been used up and the mess in front of him, Lin Xiu put the axe back into his inventory with satisfaction.

"With my current attack power, I should be able to kill monsters below level 3 in a minute."

There was a hint of excitement on his face. He could not help but look forward to the Catacombs adventure that was about to begin tomorrow.

Based on the drop rate of the low-level monsters in the cave, the materials, equipment, and gold coins should be worth about 100R each.

He only needed to harvest 20 monsters tomorrow and he should be able to earn back the money he spent today.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiu immediately opened his personal attribute panel, preparing to see what changes there were in his current attributes compared to before.

[Name: Lin Xiu]

Looking at the skill panel that appeared in front of him, Lin Xiu was quite satisfied.
