Chapter 68 - NEW SKILL (1/2)
LUO YAN scooped cream from the big parfait he ordered and ate it. He held his cheek and indulged in the sweetness. ”Ah, eating sweets is really the best. Aren't you glad we came here, Ah Jin?”
He looked at his younger brother who was sitting opposite him. Luo Jin, who was just about to bite into the slice of red velvet cake, stopped. Put down the slice of cake, used a fork to slice a part of it and then ate it.
”It's not bad,” he said.
Luo Yan glanced at the three empty plates stacked at the side of Luo Jin. [Not bad, huh? And yet you're already on your fourth plate of cake, you tsundere.]
They were on a café called 'Sweet Haven'. Luo Yan pulled Luo Jin here after they finished buying weapons. Since eating a VR meal with Shen Ji Yun yesterday, he'd wanted to try eating desserts next. Because he had to follow a strict diet, he couldn't eat anything in excess. That included any kind of sweets. But here in Arcadia, he could eat as many kinds of food as he wanted without thinking of any consequences to his health. Ah, this game was really just like heaven.
He scooped a big strawberry and ate it.
Earlier at the Weapon's Shop, they bought weapons with the highest specs available. He chose twin daggers with dark purple blades to match his costume. While Luo Jin chose a pair of long-barreled silver pistol. Because of the high-specs, both weapons were quite expensive. But that's really not something he and Luo Jin should worry over. With the amount of crystal coins they both had, buying expensive game items would never be a problem for them. Having a lot of money for playing games really had its advantages.
But crafted weapons would still be better than the expensive ones they bought. Because they would have even better specs, especially if the one who crafted them was a particularly good Blacksmith. Since both he and Luo Jin already got core materials for making weapons from their respective Origin Village, they only had to search for other more that would go well with what they already have. Those could be found in dungeon raids, dropped by dungeon monsters and the dungeon boss. The higher the level of the dungeon, the higher the quality of the materials would be.
But before they go dungeon raiding, it's more important to raise their level first. That's why they planned to go to the Task Hall after this. It's the place where different tasks were posted. The tasks taken there would give more EXP for players which would allow them to level up much faster. Sometimes, they could even unexpectedly give good rewards, which was much better than killing monsters aimlessly.
Speaking of rewards, Luo Yan still hadn't checked that skill book he got from that class application task. He might as well do it now.
He opened his Items Tab where the skill book was. On the description, it said that he only needed to open the book and he would automatically learn the skill written inside. And so he did. He took the skill book out of his Items Tab and opened it.
A light went straight from the book to his forehead. A series of movements suddenly appeared inside his brain, his body instinctually remembered how to do it. For some reason, he knew that if he did those movements, he would automatically trigger the effect of the skill corresponding to it. After that, the book just disintegrated into tiny lights.
So, was this the purpose of skill books? To engrave the movements of the skills inside the player's brain? Maybe it also served as some kind of trigger, so the game's system could recognize it as the player's skill and not just some random movements. Then this could mean that a player couldn't just copy the movements of a certain skill and expect for it to show the same effects.
Luo Yan sighed. And there went his plan of just doing the moves he remembered when he was still playing the PC version. Looked like he still needed to get those skill books.
He then checked his Skills Tab after. Under the Active Skill column, he saw a new addition.
