the only savior

Chapter 208 Strength Improvement
"I hope this time I won't be the same as before, always having trouble with that dragon egg..."

Zhang Xiaoman muttered something silently in his heart, then reached out and tapped the upgrade button.

"A random upgrade is being drawn, please wait..."

"The upgrade is complete! The green skill - spirit absorption, has been successfully upgraded to the green skill - spirit grabbing."

Zhang Xiaoman originally wanted to use up all 4 upgrades in one go, but after the results of his first round came out, he was surprised to find that the system had won the Spirit Absorption Art for the first time.

This made him subconsciously stop what he was doing, and he couldn't wait to open his attribute panel.

【Spirit Grabbing】

Use effect: Absorb the dark energy around or on the target.

Maximum absorption amount: (20) → 40 points

Usage consumption: none

Range of use: radius (40) → 50 meters

Cooldown time: (30) → 20 minutes
——Plunder the souls of others and use them for me.

When the upgraded Spirit Absorption appeared in front of him, Zhang Xiaoman was really delighted. If he wanted to talk about the skills and props he most wanted to upgrade, the Spirit Absorption would of course be one of them.

No way, I have always been troubled by insufficient energy, even after awakening.

Even if there are many means, but they can't use them to their fullest, this is really uncomfortable.

"The absorption has increased from 20 points to 40 points. Not only has the range increased, but the cooling time has also been reduced by 10 minutes. This is really a big improvement for me."

The expression on his face was joyful, today's upgrade gave himself a surprise in the first round, Zhang Xiaoman felt that even if he got all the dragon eggs in the next three times, it would not be a loss.

The upgrade continues.

"A random upgrade is being drawn, please wait..."

"The upgrade is complete! The blue skill - Star Guard·Second level has been successfully upgraded to the blue skill - Star Guard·Third level."

"This... star guard has been upgraded...?"

Looking at the result in front of him, Zhang Xiaoman still couldn't believe it.

Just upgraded the spirit absorption technique to the spirit grabbing technique, and then even the star guards were upgraded accordingly.

Is my luck today a little too good?
Thinking of this, he immediately called up the attribute panel to check the effect of the third stage of the Star Guard.

"Well... the number of star guards that can be summoned at one time has increased from 2 to 4, and the consumption has doubled to 60 points of dark energy, but there is no need to worry about this. Anyway, I can only summon two and get 30 points..."

"The maximum limit has also been increased to 8, the duration has been changed to 3 hours, and the summoning range and control range have been improved. It's really amazing!"

Looking at the new level of star guard skills, Zhang Xiaoman's face was full of smiles.

The first upgrade changed from summoning 1 to 2, and now it is 2 to 4.

If he continues to upgrade according to this trend in the future, does that mean that he can summon thousands of star guards with a wave of his hand, and can directly crush monsters with human sea tactics?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a little excited again.

"Since the luck of this meeting is so good now, then I will continue to upgrade quickly!"

He said, pointing to the upgrade function again.

"A random upgrade is being drawn, please wait..."

"The upgrade is complete! The purple skill - Zhenshanhe, has successfully added 1 upgrade point!"

"Huh? Upgrade?"

The moment Zhang Xiaoman saw the system prompt, he was stunned. Before that, the system was directly upgraded, but now it suddenly changed to an increased upgrade point. This was the first time he encountered such a situation.

"How did this happen? Didn't you spend 10 points before and then upgrade directly after drawing something? Why only one upgrade point is added now... By the way, what is this upgrade point?"

He opened Zhenshanhe's attribute panel very puzzled, wanting to see what this so-called upgrade point was for.

"Well... Zhenshanhe is still the same Zhenshanhe, the attributes have not changed, it is still invincible for 5 seconds, and the cooldown is 1 hour..."

Zhang Xiaoman looked at it from top to bottom, but nothing changed inside.

"Wait, what's in here?"

When his eyes moved to the bottom of the skill, he suddenly found that there was a "1/5" display there. He remembered clearly that there was no such thing behind his skill.

"Could it be that this is the so-called upgrade point? I need to collect 4 more points to upgrade this skill?"

Zhang Xiaoman immediately had a rough guess about this new upgrade point.

"Speaking of which, this should be the first time I have randomly obtained a skill above purple quality. Is it possible that for things above purple, you need to collect enough upgrade points to continue upgrading?"

Although he was still not sure about it, he already quite agreed with it in his heart.

However, according to his explorations, he found that after the increase of the upgrade point, he was not completely useless, because he already had the purchase authority of Zhenshanhe skills in his mall, but the price was a bit scary...

"1000 points? The system is so stupid, you are really too black-hearted!"

In this regard, Zhang Xiaoman was completely determined. If he wanted to buy this item with 1000 points, he didn't know that he would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.

Putting aside these thoughts, the next step is today's last upgrade, and he reached out and clicked on it without hesitation.

"A random upgrade is being drawn, please wait..."

"The upgrade is complete! The green skill - hearing aid, has been successfully upgraded to the blue skill - speaking."

The upgrade of this skill made Zhang Xiaoman feel a little tangled.

Because the application of hearing aids was really a bit weak, he accidentally let the dog and the cat take the place.

It turned out that the so-called "beast language" had no effect at all.

Although it is said that hearing aids understand what the other party is saying through the spiritual level, it is not limited by language.

But the animals are really speechless in terms of expression, and Zhang Xiaoman can't understand it in many cases.

And this spiritual understanding also cannot read lies.

Because the hearing aid hears what the other party "want to say" rather than "what is in the mind", it cannot be used as a mind reading technique.

With such an analysis, this skill is actually a bit embarrassing.

To put it bluntly, it is a translator that comes with it.

But to say a thousand words and ten thousand, Zhang Xiaoman still has to look at its upgraded attributes in the end.

After all, according to previous experience, after the transition from low-quality to high-quality skills, there should be a qualitative enhancement, and the higher the quality, the more obvious the effect.

"I don't know what this communication skill is like, I hope you won't let me down..."

As Zhang Xiaoman spoke, he clicked on the detailed information in the property panel to check it.

【Communication】

passive
Engrave and use unlearned languages ​​​​through the spiritual level, and the upper limit of engravings is 4.

Current engraving: 2/4
……

After reading this introduction, he didn't realize it at first, and felt that apart from the upper limit of engraving changed from 2 to 4, there seemed to be no other changes.

However, after carefully reading the contents inside, Zhang Xiaoman was surprised to find that the changes brought about by this skill upgrade were much greater than he imagined.

Just because the "understanding" described in the original hearing aid technique has become the "use" of the current speech technique.

Although there are only two words different, the meanings they represent are quite different.
