329 Point Farming Method? (2/2)
Even though I didn't even show impatience, Wind still tried to transition his explanation as if he knew his way of explaining wasn't ideal.
”Now, just like I said, to get these achievement points, you have to challenge the 'Tower of Trial', but to challenge it, you need to obtain a technique tome first, as the tower works to test your comprehension towards the tome… The point is, the amount of achievement points you could get from achieving mastery in one tome is limited even if you reach the highest level of mastery in it, and this is exactly where the token's role shines!”
”You mean that I should use my token to get more technique tomes in order to get as many achievement points as possible?”
If I were also only given the chance to pick one technique tome, then it made sense for me to be able to use my token to grab two more technique tomes, considering the rank of my token, which would generate more points for me according to Wind. This strategy did sound reasonable, but it wasn't like techniques were like cabbages that could be picked up and learned that easily, I may be a special case that could do that, but Wind shouldn't be aware of that.
In fact, advising a talented apprentice to practice several techniques at the same time was supposed to be considered as mis-guiding so that even made less sense.
'Is there an underlying meaning behind this or…?'
”Not exactly, basically since you count as a resident of the central division you get the perk of having free access to two technique tomes from any division, unlike the natural division apprentices who only get access to one tome from their exact division, getting two techniques would naturally give you more point collecting opportunities but that would be counter-intuitive instead, so like I said, if you use the token, learning these two techniques would prove beneficial instead!”
'I get two technique tomes just with my current status?'
I thought that ascending directly to my current status was the point of the perk as I wouldn't receive the benefits that came along with the position, but it seemed like I was wrong about it.
'Well, that's better for me anyway…'
At this point, I was already starting to consider my choices for which technique tomes would I retrieve using these two slots and even considering what I could get using the token, but I was still interested in what Wind had to say…
”If you use your token, then you could easily apply for 10 guiding sessions from any division head, not just simple guidance, but mental guidance sessions! If you were to split these chances on two techniques, it wouldn't be impossible for you to master them within two weeks of time or even less, then you would definitely qualify to become the favored candidate and achieve your target of meeting the sect master and receiving his guidance without much trouble!”
Wind's eyes looked at me with anticipation, it pretty much seemed like he was helping me as much as he could. There was a chance that he had hidden ulterior motives, or he could just be following certain orders, as for being simply nice, there was simply no chance for that to be his drive behind helping me contend against other potential personal apprentices.
”Of course, the choice is all yours, my suggestion to you is only a sign of my goodwill, just go to your assigned accommodation in the central division for now and get some rest to clear your mind before deciding on how to proceed…”
