100 Agility! 3 more Acquaintances?

So the five grinded in the dungeon. It was really boring for them, but the experience was rewarding.

The bosses didn't drop more skill books or any equipment. It was expected. The triple skill book they got from the first run was probably an increased chance due to global first clearance. It also didn't make sense for spiders to be carrying something useful to humans.

Although they did drop a lot of materials and resources. These can be sold to profession players (ProfP). These players focus on professions, such as weaponsmith, enchanter, tailor, armoursmith, etc etc.

Awaken II's profession system allows complete freedom. There are no system guided recipes and crafts — all had to be done by the player's hand.

Many blacksmiths and tailors or military forces in real life joined the game to level up their profession skills and carry them out to real life to craft world-changing items.

For this reason, all ProfPs had to join under the Xia government control and all reluctant players were executed.

The Xia government also "encouraged" (forced) all citizens to join the game for profession purposes even if they didn't like gaming.

Because there are so many ProfPs in Awaken, resources are always in high demand.

The party was excited because they could also make a fortune in real life if they sold the resources for money.

Soon after a few runs, Yel levelled up to 21.

Ding! You are the first player to achieve 100 AGI. Reward: AGI +10

Whoa! Yel thought. Another extra 10 agility!

[Your body is overflowing with power!]

[Spirit Energy +10000]

10k Spirit Energy was double the amount Yel gets each night. This saved Yel 2 nights of work.

Yel thought about it, it seems like something you get after reaching 100 in a base stat. Does this mean cultivating will be available for everyone once they reach 100 base stat?

What will be the advantage of Acquaintances when that happens?

He stopped thinking about it. Holding out his sword, he powered Spirit Energy into it, feeling it become stronger and denser as it engulfed Yel's wind energy.

Yel opened up his character window and admired it:

Yel has been using skills for the entirety of the runs, so his skills are extremely close to levelling up.

After the gain of Spirit Energy, Yel's blade gave him another 100 AGI.

Yel was sure he had the highest AGI stat in the world.

"Hey," Lee suddenly said. "Rin messaged me saying that she finished learning new skills."

"She said Jin activated a hidden class advancement quest and is heading into the Royal Palace of Suresa!"

"Ayo what?" Yel was shocked. "What hidden class is this?"

"She doesn't know," Lee said. "But I think it'll be strong."

Then he scrunched his nose, "What? Rin says she can't message the other 3 people you bought along, Yel."

"She says it was like when I was gone for 5 hours."

"Acquaintance quest?" Yel asked. "We getting more boosts?"

"Maybe," Lee said. "I told Rin to come back by herself to grind levels together for now."

Yel nodded, "Let's get another few runs complete before she arrives."
