Categorization of Skills

Later the same day, after the classes were over for the first half of the day, Jack met up with Henry. Jack immediately informed Henry about his plan.

Henry thought about it for a moment, before he found that it was quite reasonable. The first thing that they required at this moment was to get enough money to be able to do everything that they were planning.

No matter what it was the day wanted to get from the system, they would require the money. Of course, Jack could go ahead and depend on the system reward function, such as the first income reward and so on, but still, that was going to take quite some time for him to be able to get what he wanted.

So, it was better for him to use the basic function of the system, which was to multiply his income by 100 times. With that, he would be able to get enough money to be able to get whatever he wanted from the system that was possessed by Henry.

Currently, the two of them had already gotten back inside the car that they had used to get to school. They were already planning to go out for lunch.

"Okay. Why don't we talk while eating? I'm currently starving." Henry suggested. He already understood the basic functions of the system that Jack possessed. So, upon hearing that Jack wanted to participate in the event which involved racing, he understood.

They had to get money. For Henry, it was going to be quite a task for him to be able to get the money. But the same could not be said about Jack. So, they would discuss everything in detail first.

Jack did not object, and Henry immediately drove towards a restaurant that was located not that far away from the school. The restaurant was called Foodex restaurant.

This restaurant was quite popular, considering that it was the biggest restaurant close by to the school. So, the majority of the rich students would always go there, and in case one wanted to boast about the wealth that they possessed, they would take their friends there.

The two of them did not have the intention of boasting or anything, instead, they were happy with the food that could be found within this restaurant. So, even though the meals here were expensive, still, they were worth it.

The two of them managed to get a private room. Immediately after the food was served, they began eating. The food was a mixture of beef, rice, salad, and a few other varieties of foods.

The two of them ate without saying anything, and finally, about 20 minutes later, when they were satisfied, they stopped eating. Then, it was time for them to start talking.

"For me to participate in that competition, I will need to have the driving skills. Although I can drive, I am not good at racing. So, I really need a skill that can help me with that. So, how much is that skill within your system store?" Jack asked.

"Let me check that out for you." Henry responded as he immediately accessed his system.

The moment that he accessed the system, he went to the system store, then to the skills category. Completely different from the time that he was in his world, where the skills were related to combat only, this time, several skills such as diving, driving, cooking, and so on, were displayed within the system store.

After looking around, he immediately found the driving skill. The driving skill was categorized into different levels. The skills were divided into five levels, the beginner, intermediate, advanced, professional, and master level.

Henry immediately looked at the description of the beginner level skills. For instance, he looked at the beginner level driving skill.

[Beginner level driving skill: This driving skill is at a level of a person who has completed a driving course. This person will have the experience of one year. Price; $9,500]

The Intermediate skill would grant a person the experience of 5 years, advanced would give 10 years, professional level would give 20 years, and master, it was… 100 years.

Jack was not that sure about a person having 100 years experience when it came to driving. Currently, the life expectancy of humans was 70 to 90 years. It was extremely rare to be able to find a person that had gone beyond 90 years, not to mention those that had managed to live 100 years.

But even if a person was 100 years old, that would imply that the moment that this person was born, they immediately began driving. That was how they would be able to achieve 100 years of driving experience.

But, no matter how incredible it looked, no matter how impossible it seemed, with the system, it was definitely possible. As for whose experience that was, Henry wouldn't care.

Now, when it came to pricing, the beginner level skills generally had prices that ranged from $1,000 to $10,000. For the intermediate level skills, the price ranged from $10,000 to $100,000. The advanced level skills ranged from $100,000 to $1 million. The professional level skills ranged from $1 million to $10 million.

Finally, there was the master level skills. The price of the master level skills could be said to be outrageous. The price range was from $100 million to $10 billion.

For a moment there, after seeing the price, Henry blinked his eyes continuously, wanting to confirm that he was seeing things clearly. The price ranged from $100 million, to $10 billion. That price did not change no matter how many times Henry blinked his eyes.

Finally, Henry was forced to accept the situation. That was the price, and it was not going to change. And when he thought about it, it actually made quite some sense.

It was impossible for a person to be able to get one year of experience by just spending money. They would have to engage in an activity for one entire year for them to be able to get the one year experience.

He on the other hand, as long as he had enough money, he was capable of getting even 100 years of experience. As for beyond 100 years, he did not know, as the system did not display anything beyond that. Maybe it was there, or maybe it wasn't.

Still, Henry did not even bother to ask the system about the possibility of the existence of a level beyond the master level. After all, the price for the master level skills was already high, was it possible for him to be able to afford a skill that was beyond the master level?

After looking at all of that, Henry finally shifted his attention back to Jack. He asked, "How much can we afford? Basically, the prices of the skill ranges from $1,000 to $10 billion."

Jack contemplated for a moment, before he finally responded. "We can start by selling that car of ours. It is not that old, considering that we only bought it recently after we got our driving licenses. It is a good thing that this car was registered under my name. So, if I sell it, the income will be multiplied still."

Jack then contemplated for a moment before asking, "What is the price of the professional level driving skill?"

[Professional level driving skill: Grants one the driving skills and experience worth 20 years. Price; $6M.]

"Price of 6 million." Jack contemplated, and after a moment, he realized that it was not impossible for him to be able to get that skill. For him, 20 years of experience was enough to be able to win that competition.

After all, the ones that were competing in that competition were all youths. That implied that the maximum experience that they could have was 10 years at most. So, possessing skills and experience of 20 years of driving, that was enough for him to be able to win that competition.

Jack had just thought of that when he suddenly remembered something. He looked at Henry as he asked, "Does that driving include racing? You have to understand that normal driving is completely different from racing."

"Of course. This skill includes the normal driving and racing. It doesn't matter what kind of driving it is, but all of it is included in the driving skill." Henry responded.

Jack nodded. Now that was good. The only thing that they had to do was to find the money. Now, how were they supposed to get $6 million?

Selling the car was definitely not going to generate enough money for that. After a while of thinking, Jack finally came to a conclusion. "It seems that we will have to ask father to give us some money. We can get less than 5 million from the car, but the rest will have to be filled up by father."

Henry was a little surprised upon hearing that. But when he thought about it, that was the only solution for the time being. After selling the car, they would still require a little more money. It was just that he doubted if their father was going to give them the money.

At the end of it all, it was not as if they were going to only ask for a thousand or $10,000. They were going to ask for at least $2 million.

Before Henry could voice out his doubts, Jack had already taken out his phone, and was already calling Newton. After a few rings, the call connected, and Newton's voice came from the other end.
