CHAPTER 448: CHAPTER 4 SECTION 17 SKILL EXTRACTION

Looking at the silver skill stone in his hand.

Kane placed it within his skill grid.

Perhaps it was because he had just endured the copper-level infusion, he didn’t feel it was too uncomfortable when accepting the knowledge and experience from the silver skill stone; he even felt a trace of smoothness.

Kane was feeling the knowledge in his mind, experiencing the newfound sensations in his body.

After a while, he finally finished receiving it.

This time, once again, he flowed the magic power from within his body through a certain order, starting to gather in his hand.

This time, the moment the magic power emerged, it began to aggressively pull at the surrounding space.

The surrounding space started to distort, even forming spiral patterns.

The entire space was like a piece of cloth, being pinched tightly in the middle, starting to twist.

On the left, a golden breath with a hint of green was extracted from the space, while on the right, a grey-black breath was pulled from it.

The two breaths intertwined, merging into the center of the magic power group.

"Ding!"

A crisp sound resonated.

The twisted magic power group stabilized into an octahedron.

With the naked eye, the luck and misfortune on the octahedron seemed to be balanced.

At this moment, some sort of shadow appeared in the air.

A small angel shadow appeared.

Only its shape and the wings on its back could be seen, the facial and body features were unclear.

The size of the angel shadow was not much different from the dice in Kane’s hand.

After the angel appeared, it touched the dice lightly before disappearing.

With this action of the angel shadow, the lucky aura on the dice overwhelmed the unlucky one.

Is this why it’s called the Angel Dice?

The angel added a touch of luck, which is why the skill explanation has the luck effect greater than misfortune.

Observing the brand-new dice in his hand, Kane examined it for a while. Compared to the copper one, it seems to only have two extra sides.

After looking at the dice in his hand, Kane couldn’t help but glance at Lilulu, who was watching the dice.

Looking at the gaze Kane directed at her, Lilulu didn’t need any words. She blinked and appeared on his shoulder.

Kane opened his mouth to say something but swallowed the words back.

He actually wanted to say there was no need to come over.

Oh well, trust Lilulu one more time.

Watching the dice in his hand, he tossed it lightly.

The dice flew into the air and began spinning automatically.

Then it landed, spinning like a top on one vertex.

This time, Kane didn’t have any exclamations in his heart.

Red or black, it all depends on fate.

Mist!

Perhaps it was Kane’s shout that worked, or maybe it was Lilulu on his shoulder passing the luck to him.

The spinning dice slowly came to a stop.

Facing upwards, there were two red dots.

Two red dots.

All in all, he gained 1.5 times the luck.

What can I say, compared to misfortune, it’s certainly much better.

But the added luck wasn’t much, just slightly better than nothing.

The dice in his hand disappeared, transforming into a golden-green aura that flowed into Kane’s body.

Just looking at this aura with the naked eye gave off a refreshing feeling.

"Is it luck? Kane, did you get luck?" Lilulu sitting on Kane’s shoulder asked eagerly as she saw the dice disappear.

Hearing Lilulu’s words, Kane turned his head with a sly smile: "It’s misfortune! I’m going to infect you."

Saying that, Kane suddenly reached out to grab Lilulu. Hearing Kane say it was misfortune, Lilulu blinked and appeared at a distance, running toward Kreya.

"Kreya, save Lilulu, Kane wants to pass his misfortune to me. Lilulu doesn’t want to be unlucky."

Lilulu shouted as she dashed into Kreya’s embrace to hide, then poked her head out to look behind her.

But Kane didn’t chase after her at all. Instead, he took out four silver magic stones from his space equipment.

It was clear he was preparing to extract skills.

Lilulu, even if foolish, knew that Kane tricked her. If he was extracting misfortune, he surely wouldn’t be extracting skills at this time.

Angry, she pulled out a fairy wand and waved her magic wand at Kane.

A rainbow-colored beam struck toward Kane.

A magic shield appeared directly beside Kane, blocking this rainbow-colored beam.

However, the rainbow-colored beam didn’t disappear; instead, like being refracted, it bounced to the side, just where Longbei was.

Longbei, who had been watching the show, hadn’t said a word and was inexplicably hit by this rainbow-colored beam.

With the rainbow effects, his form began to change, and finally, a little pink-skinned pig appeared in place.

This scene shocked everyone watching them.

Kane never thought that Lilulu’s skill, once it hit the magic shield, wouldn’t vanish but could even ricochet.

The little pig in place grunted in distress.

Although stunned, Lilulu quickly regained her senses and prepared to dispel the magic.

But Longbei’s magic resistance was very high, and he returned to his original form in less than two seconds.

"Lilulu!"

"Hehe, I’m sorry Longbei, it’s all Kane’s fault."

Watching the two bicker, Kane withdrew his gaze.

Right now, luck was on his side. It was best to quickly extract the skills.

Once again, he summoned the [Book of Adventure].

He turned to the Extraction Array, placed his hand on it, and firmly grasped the four Silver Magic Stones in his other hand.

[Skill Extraction]

[Do you want to consume the Silver Magic Stones to extract skills?]

[Yes][No]

"Yes"

[Skill extraction in progress······]

The array on the book began to spin, emitting a faint glow, while the four Silver Magic Stones in his hand disappeared. In their place appeared four glowing patterned metal pieces.

The skill extraction was complete. Kane looked at the four Skill Stones lying in his palm, and none appeared strange or different. They all seemed to be ordinary Skill Stones.

First, he picked up one to examine.

[Name: Blessing of Strength]

[Type: Consumable Skill]

[Color: Silver]

[Explanation: After using the skill, enhances current Constitution by 30%, effective at Silver level.]

[Introduction: A praise of life, obtained from a higher personality intelligent life form, regarding the essence of life’s strength.]

A consumable Skill Stone. An old friend indeed, the more the merrier.

Nothing much to say, Kane directly installed the Skill Stone into his Skill Grid.

However, the instant the Skill Stone was placed in the Skill Grid, Kane received new information, which was different from before.

Kane’s strength had reached some sort of bottleneck. If he used this Skill Stone to amplify strength again, the effect would diminish, falling short of a 30% enhancement.

It seemed that Kane’s strength was already at the limit of his life’s essence.

He either needed higher personality strength amplification or promotion from Silver level to Gold.

Though Kane’s current strength was just about the same as Kreya’s, it was considerably lower than Longbei’s.

But that’s the limitation of humans; every race has its specialties. You can’t expect to be strong in all aspects; there will always be areas of inadequacy.

For example, humans’ reproduction rate is stronger than most races.

Many species that reproduce faster than humans tend to have weaker talents and physical qualities.

So humans currently belong to a very balanced state.

Rarely does any race reach the limit of certain attributes at the Silver level.

Due to Kane possessing various permanent potions, skills that permanently enhance attributes, and occasionally consuming Delicious Food that increases attributes.

Especially in the last Dungeon World Restaurant, simply eating Delicious Food added countless attributes to him.

However, thinking about such limitations makes sense; if one were the offspring of a powerful faction, consuming various Magic Cuisine and attribute-enhancing secret potions from an early age.

Then even before becoming an Explorer, one might punch Silver and kick Copper, which is unrealistic.

How will I pass the skills on to Kreya and the others now?

Currently, Kreya and others each have this Skill Stone in their Skill Grid, and they are all learning it, though most have started turning illusory.

Extracting the skill now would render the previous learning futile.

Moreover, Kane was uncertain how these consumable Skill Stones would work for Kreya and the others.

But this was not something Kane needed to worry about. As he pondered, the open Book of Magic Power transmitted some information into Kane’s mind.

He just needed to give the Skill Stone to Kreya and the others through the same ceremony as before.

These consumable Skill Stones will automatically consume if there’s a skill already in Kreya and their Skill Grid.

Truly intelligent.

Upon receiving this information, Kane nodded knowingly.

Then he began to examine the next Skill Stone.

[Name: Praise of Blessing]

[Type: Consumable Skill]

[Color: Silver]

[Explanation: After using the skill, enhances all attributes by 15%, effective at Silver level.]

[Introduction: A praise of life, obtained from a higher personality intelligent life form, regarding the essence of life’s power.]

Yet another new Silver consumable skill that had never been seen before, but based on the introduction.

It seemed very suitable for Kane as a jack-of-all-trades.

Enhancing all attributes by 15% is certainly stronger than strengthening a single attribute by 30%.

Not to mention for Kane, there’s no attribute enhancement that is useless.

Whether it’s Constitution, Magic Power, Magic Strength, Spirit, or Strength.

For him, they’re all useful because he possesses too many skills.

Physical melee, physical ranged, magic melee, magic ranged.

Don’t think Kane is boasting; he has studied magic knowledge for a long time.

He studied the Golden Magic Book of Lilulu’s, paired with Kane’s accelerated skill learning.

Now it’s absolutely no problem for him to perform a magic performance.

Nothing much to say, directly placing it in the Skill Grid, a prior message reappeared, indicating that the enhancement of the Strength attribute would be halved, boosting only 7%.

However, apart from Strength, other attributes hadn’t reached a bottleneck, allowing for perfect absorption.

No need to worry about anything, just use it directly.

As the skill was used, several colorful auras appeared in the void above Kane’s head, pouring into his body.

With the infusion, Kane could distinctly feel his body undergoing a comprehensive improvement; a 15% promotion was not trivial but truly perceptible.
